A Review by Urlsradler-General 31cKee In the Afternoon Governor to Inapect Troops Thursday. The camp of the Indiana Guard at Fairview yesterday presented a mllllary. aspect wl4ch was ii3Ti by the thousands of people who visited the place. It was a very quIH day. so far as the interests of the visitors went. The muster call at 2 o'clock, 'when the men registered on the pay rolls, and the i-arade. at 5 o'clock, were the only exhibitions In the nature of drills. There was a great deal for the novice to see and learn, however, In a, trip through the camp. During almost the entire day the troops were engaged in policing the camp. This might be expressed better In nautical language by saying that things were being put In shipshape, or, in plainer words, the camp was being cleaned up so as to be rendered the more habitable during tho week. Each company found It a duty to cut the. weeds and smooth up the narrow street In front of Its row of tents. But there Is much ether and more arduous duty, which Is done ordinarily by troopers who have violated some rule as a punishment. The beginning of camp life finds this kind of work more plentiful, and there Is a probability that smaller offens.es are made more heinous in order to get thework done. By the middle of the afternoon the camp ground wp. in a perfect condition. Each of the company streets was as clean as a boulevard. All the leaves and rubbish, much of the latter having remained since the break of the last camp, had been scraped up and removed or was standing In piles ready for the wagons. The sanitary condition of the camp is much improved over last year. The cooking apparatus has been placed further away from tho tents, and Is craefully scrutinized by the camp sanitarian. The disagreeable sinks are deeper and treated with a disinfectant. In every respect the camp presents a better and neater appearance than a year ago. There are only forty-one companies In camp thls year, four less than last year, but they are larger, and the number of men In camp Is about the same. They will average about sixty-three men to the comJany. or a total of neariv 2.500. The First teglment hTS men. This does not include the artillery, of which there are three companies of forty, forty-six and thirtynine men, respectively, nor does it Include the bands, of which there Is one to each regiment, including the artillery. Much Interest was shown in the artillery regiment. It is composed of three com. fanles and a bnnd. Company A (Indlanapols Light Artillery). Lieutenant Garrard, commanding: Company C. of Rockville. Captain F. E. Stevenson: Company E. of Fort Wayne. Captain W. F. Itanke. Captain Curtis, being the senior captain, has command of the regiment. The When Band, of this city, was mustered into the service for three years yesterday morning, and was assigned to the artillery. GOVERNOR'S TENT NOT PITCHED. Only a very small portion of the Governor's staff was In camp yesterday, and the Governor's tent had not yet been pitched. Nearly all the members have promised to report this morning, however. Those on hand yesterday were Irvln Robbins. Adjutant-general; A. M. Compton. quartermaster-general; Col. Myron D. King, military secretary; Col. William Foor. commissary-general; Col. R. French Stone, surgeon-general; Col. Orison P. Lee. Inspector-general; Col. James B. Curtis' chief of artillery; Col. Charles Kahlo' Lieut. Col. E. E. Cary and Major W. II. H Cullen. Owing to the extreme heat It was feared thit the exercises of the day would be the cause of many prostrations, but the day was passed without any cases of serious consequence btlog reported. The hospital corps 'had practically nothing to do. except to place itself in readiness for emergencies which may arise. Surgeon L. H. Lopp. of the artillery regiment, failing to report. Colonel Wright, chief medical officer, assigned Xo that regiment for the period of the eicampnr-nt Dr. It. G. Garstang. of this city. Both the surgeon and assistant surgeon of the Third Ilcginvnt are detained at home on account ol illness In their respective families. Dr. Utrgeman. of thl city, has ten assigned to the regiment. Major T. C. Kirn ball, of Marion, surgeon of the Fourth Regiment, is also absent, but the assistant surgeon, Captain Kyle, is in charge of the medical corps. The exercises of yesterday were out very brief in every cane. The parade at 5 o'clock the big feature of the day. . All the

mm

companies formed in their regiments and marched to the drill field. There they were put through a short regimental and battalion drill, and then the brigade formed for a review by General McKee. The only thing to mar this feature of the day was the fall of General Compton. His horse threw him. and it was thought he was hurt. He caught the hor?e. however, and rode him during the review. To-day the regular routine of the week will commence. Th company drills will be held at 7 o'clock, the battalion drills at t:'.V) and the regimental" drills at 2 o'clock. The rifle practice will also begin this morning. Thursday the Grnnd Review, . Thursday has been fixed upon as Governor's day. when there will be a grand review of the troops.

Encampment Notes. The boy3 claim the food is above the average. There are more raw recruits in camp this year than usual. Bicycles and vehicles are not allowed In the park. They are cared for outside, however, at a nominal fee. Those of the Governor's staff who were In camp vesterday sung loud the praises of Col. William Koor. who is in charge of the commissary department. They declare the Colonel has not forgotten what he learned at the Grand Hotel. Late yesterday evening a corporal of the Fourth Regiment found a man at tho east gate of the park collecting 10 cents admission f t-e from visitors. The man was arrested, and will be turned over to the civil authorities. Admission to the camp Is free. A number of people were found In the camp last night after the time when visitors are expected to have retired. Some of them were arrested by the guards, and had a hard time getting away. Visitors are not allowed in camp between 9:25 p. m. and 5:23 a. m. The National Guard Souvenir and Photographing Company Is engaged In getting out a souvenir of the encampment. It will contain a history' of the Indiana National Guard and of each company, with portraits of the Governor and members of his staff, brigade and regimental officers, photographs of all the companies in groups and views -of -the encampment, besidc-s snap shots of the brigade and different regiments. IN NINTH WARD ALONE SIXTY-NINE DEMOCRATIC DOLTERS ORGANIZE A CLUB. Will Be Known as an Independent Club Most of Members Will Vote for Mclvlnley. There was a meeting at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the vacant lot at the corner of Dillon and Meek streets, of the Democratic bolters of the Ninth ward. By actual count there were sixty-nine voters present. They were greatly dissatisfied with the party in general, and with the Marion county ticket and the treatment they received at the convention In particular. A club was organized and called the Ninth Ward Independent Club. Its object is to defeat the Democratic ticket in Marion county. How this will be done has not yet been decided. Most of the members are la favor of coming out squarely and voting the Republican ticket straight from McKinley down. In the formation of the county committee they claim that the credentials committee turned down the old committeeman, James O'Leary, and seated John Sullivan, a man who has not taken out his naturalization papers and who is reaJly not ah American citizen. The following were chosen as a committee to select a place for holding regular meetings: James O'Leary, Con Callahan. Thomas O'Nell. J. T. Greaney and Michael O'Nell. The next meeting will be held Aug. 3, when permanent officers will be elected. CONDON AND THE GOVERNOR. One of the Roly ManH?era la Filled with Wrath. John Condon, one of the Roby managers, told the Chicago reporters Saturday, after the lract was closed by the Injunction issued by Judge Gillette, that there was Just one thing he wanted. He wanted to see the letters which it Is alleged he wrote over the country, claiming to own the Governor body and soul. Condon says he wrote no letters whatever. Condon claimed the Governor made this statement to the Hammond committee last week. Governor Matthews stated last night that he had received no letters .whatever from Condon, and that ho had given, the committee only such information as had come to him from horsemen over the country. It will be recalled that the Governor received telegrams from a number of horsemen in the South Just before the opening of the Roby meeting, asking him if it were true, as Condon had stated, that the State would not interfere wltli the races this year. It was from these telegrams that the Governor got his informatoin. The committee that came from .Hammond last week wanted the Governor to consent to the continuance of the -meeting for this season, but he preemntoriallv. . refused. He hellpv thi Roby Is now closed for good. ''''aaaaaaaai Bryan's Tariff Speech. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: A' speech; which Mr. Bryan delivered In Congress in 1S92 has lately been printed, and It is claimed that this effort gave him his first fame as an orator. There must surely be something In the personality or presence of the Populo-Democratlc standard bearer that enraptures his hearers, for there Is llttle-in the writer's opinion in his utterances, when reduced to cold print, either then or now. that would cause thinking men to "go wild," as they are claimed to have done at Chicago. As to that part of the speech alluded to bearing directlv on protection, every point has been so well answered in the grievous experiences of the last three years as to render notice superfluous."' His summing up. however, has a sad. far-away sound, at this time, and as It possesses the merits of brevity. I venture to offer it here: If it (the Democratic party) comes. Mr. Chairman, into power In all the departments of this government It will not destroy Industry; it will not injure labor; but it win save to the men who produce the wealth of the country a larger proportion of that wealth. It will bring prosperity and Joy and happiness, not to a few, but to every one without regard to station or condition.' . ,. v Thus prophesied Mr. Bryan four years ago. How have his words tallied with the facts? But It has already been foreshadowed that we are to hear a great deal about the sufferings of .the farmers, and there is every reason to believe that Mr. Bryan will follow the same line of argument that he did in 1S92. In his speech of that year he quoted from census reports to show that the proportions of farmers who rent farms to those who own the land they tilled had materially increased In ten years. The thought here suggested seems to apply with some force to this particular corner ofX'ncle Sam's domain. Within the last ten years many of the beautiful and substantial dwellings that adorn the streets of this pretty and thriving village have been built and are being occupied by farmers who have retired from active work. Their farms are. In most cases, in the charge of renters and where the farms were large they have been subdivided, two or more renters perhaps, occupying them. In most instances these renters have risen from the ranks of farm lalrers. and are generally in much better circumstances than before. Now. let us take a look forward to the year 1900. when the census gatherer will acraln make his rounds. He calls at the houses occupied by the tenants and finds perhaps, that an Increase equal to that to which Mr. Bryan calls attention has taken plaee in the number of aetual farmers who rent land in this township. But does that Indicate a decrease in wealth? It 'will hardly do so in this instance. In truth, the farm owners have increased their wealth bv tho addition of their town property at le.ist while the renters, localise of their more favorable opportunities, are better off thin they were before. Mr. Bryan is further alarmed to And that H.2 per cent., or about one In seven of the farms In certain States In l9ii, had mortgages on them, which may mean anything but retrogression; but even then he was evidently reheat sing for the factional tleht which is now on. for ho breaks out thus: "Why. sir. these mortgages are held In the East, and if these manufacturing States, when their Industrie are infants, own themselves and have a mortgage on us. what Is going to be the result when they get full grown?"

HIS FAREWELL SERMON

. f REV. J, W. COMFORT PREACHES FOR LAST TIME AT UlVI.GTOX. Services at Wild wood Park Attract Bis Crowds At the McrldluuStreet 31. E. Church. Rev. J. W. Comfort preached his closing sermon as pastor of the Downey-avenue Church, in Irvington, yesterday morning. Taking his text from St. John xvl. 12. "I have yet many thing to say unto you but you cannot hear them now," he said; "The meaning of those words Is often misunderstood. It is thought that Jesus was careful for tho tired and somewhat disconsolate condition of His disciples, that He iefrained from talking much because they were too weary, or too Indisposed to list&n. But that was not His meaning. The real difficulty lay not in their tiredness, but in their obtuseness. It was not through greatness of sorrow, but through lack of sympathy that they could not receive more of Christ's teaching. All great thoughts require some measure of thinking to receive them, as well as to conceive them. You cannot put broad thoughts into narrow minds any more than you can fit a square peg into a round hole. Jesus did not tell men all he knew, there were great reserves of knowledge and of divine revelation that were incommunicable because of His hearers' Incapacity. It was not the heathen; it was not the outcasts that caused Jesus such heartbreak, but those who called themselves sons of God, who dally praised, who read the law, and who fastened upon some parts of. truth and believed them to be worth the whole. No man Is larger than his horizon, and as most men live, mentally at least, at the bottom of a well, their horizon Is necessarily very limited. "In all the life of Christ there is nothing more pathetic, or even more pitable than the way in which great truths struggle to make themselves known and believed. Here was His constant disappointment. Men could not think His thoughts; and when He uttered them so freely, they had no storehouse in their brain in which to treasure them. It was like sowing seed by tho waysidethe birds of the air devoured It. Men sometimes want to measure the height of a building, and they take a measuring rod and reach so far, as high as they can, and they calculate that, and guess the rest. Some men will do that with a tree; some will do that with a mountain. And that is the way that most men Judge the truth that Jesus had to teach; they measure as far as they know how, that is, as far as they can reach, and they guess the rest. You must not measure Christ by His disciples, nor gauge what He had to teach by the things He taucht them, for it was the bitterest fact of His life that He had many things to say, but they could not support the volume of them. '"What. then. h;s become of those things that Jesus wanted to teach and could not? Are they lost to the world? Soon after He died did He die and make no sign? Are we to be eternally poorer in knowledge of God and His truth because the immediate followers of Jesus could not receive the things He was breaking His heart to tell them? I do not for a moment believe It. I believe that there is no treasure God has but He holds It In trust for us; that there is no secret In nature but He is telling It as fast as we are able to bear it. And If we are coming to the thoughts of God as fast as we can think them after Him. in the world beneath our feet and the universe around us, are we to believe that the door is shut upon us In the realm of pufe religion that God has no more thoughts for us to think, or has put a limit upon our capacity to tnink them? "We ought indeed to be able to receive some things which these first disciples could not understand for one thing, because we have had more time to assimilate them; more time to grow and expand. Science is teaching us that in music, in art. In Invention, in physical achievement in the adaptability of one's self to one's environment, we are enjoying a momentum which our predecessors have been gradually conveying to us. It is this which makes sin and crime and self-indulgence so great a curse, not only to ourselves when guilty, but to the generations following. And It is this that maks refinement, culture, pure living and broad thinking so grand a heritage to hand on to those who succeed us. We can learn more of the will of God today than any people before us. God himself can teach us more. Jesus had been with these men but two years. He has been with us two centuries. All that time Is not blank. The church crows; individual Christians grow. It is not that we have a new Savior, but wTe have new Ideas about the Savior. It is not that we have a new religion, but we have new ideas about religion. It is not that we have a new Bible, but we have new ideas about the Bible. God did not cease to teach men when the prophets ended their mission. He did not cease when the fourth gospel was closed. He did not cease to teach when the last apostle finished his last epistle. He Is teaching men still by His Holy Spirit not in the same way, not, perhaps, the same things, hut He is still teaching men concerning His work and the wonders of His love in the world. "I believe In the advancement In the knowledge of God. because I believe In the present power and unrestricted operation of the Holy Spirit. I brlievo that He is present with us in the nineteenth century as truly as He was with the apostles lh the first century. For what are centuries to God. and who are nvn.- but means whereby lie may make known the wonders of His love. Every soul born Into the world is but a vehicle wherebv God may convey His truth to the aees. So be largehearted; believe in the truth, not only as It Is revsuled to you. but to other Godtaught souls. There are some Christians who sit like Diogenes in a tub. and all they ask of other Christians is that they will stand out of their light. "Finally, of the things which I have spoken, not now only, but during the years that are past, this is the sum Honor all men; fear God; love the brotherhood: honor the commonwealth. Above all, and this is the note I have desired to sound most frequently, be loyal to the Ird Jesus Christ. There Is no greater test of religion than that, and no greater glory; for be who Is loyal to Jesus will be loyal to his own conscience as ne Is taught by the Holy Spirit and the word of God. Here the chapter ends, but the truth ends not. for truth Is of God, and God Is love, and love never dies." AT .MERIDIAN M. E. ClURCIf. Dr. Trumbull G. Dnvtill, of Ohio WesIryun I HI versltj. Preaches. Dr. Trumbull G. Duvall. of the Ohio Wesleyan University, preached at the Meridianstreet Church yesterday morning. His subject was "The Glory of God In the Face of Jesus Christ." Taking his text from Second Corinthians, fourth to sixth verses, he said in part: "The Christian religion Is unique in that It centers In a unique personality Jesus Christ. . We turn with ever-lncreasinj? delight to the sermon on the Mount, and well we may. It is the ethical framework of Christianity. But Christianity can claim no monopoly of exalted conceptions and noble sentiments. The Analects of Confucius, and the Book of the Way of the sage Laou-tsze contain much that challenges our deepest admiration. The teachings of the Buddha and of the Persian Zarathustra sparkle with many a gem of purest water. It has been my privilege to follow the thought ot Piato. Marcus Aurelius and Epictelus. and in some of the noblest thoughts my mind has ever entertained, the spirit has bowed before these masters. Not long ago there fell into my hands what purports to be the oldest book in the world, the Maxims of Ani. These maxims, the heritage of a father to his son. belong in spirit with the best product of the ethical consciousness. Only in Jesus Christ, whose rich personality sums un all that the human heart Idolizes and strives after, do we find what Is distinctive and essential in our religion. "What 13 It that makes a face so subtly attractive or repulsive? Is It the. complexion, the co'.or of the eyes or hair, the curve or irregularity of features? There is, indeed, the curve of beauty, and the nice mathematical relations cf pleasing proportions, as Helmholz has pointed out. But deeper than this; what is It that affects us so powerfully In some faces? It is the self, the spirit, the personality that shines throuRh the features. The word person even suggests this. As the Roman actor spoke his part, or sounded through his mask, so the spirit, the person, sounds through the human mask or tlesh. There is a painting In one of the private salons of the Dresdener gallery. It represents the face and hg- ! ure of a woman, faultless from the point of Mew or aesthetics, but expressing unfathomed diabolism In countenance. On the other hand, there are few of us who do not treasure up In our inmost- hearts a face, care-lined and rugged, angular and misshapen, it may be, but the dearest face in the world to us. "It Is this which raises the desire to picture to ourselves the face of Jesus above the whims of mere fancy and idle curiosity. It springs out of the universal conviction that In some way the face of the Master revealed the quality of the personality within. It is a remarkable thing in the "history of Christ that nowhere have we a clew to His physical Identity. All the pictures of Jesus by the great artists are mere fictions so far as features are concerned. We have

no reason to believe they represent Christ any more than Simon Peter or Nebuchadnezzer. Nor have we any -authentic description of his appearance, by which he could be distinguished from Zaccheus. the little man. or Bartholomew, who has nothing more than a name on the sacred page. The would-be descriptive letter of Publlus Lentulus is a fabrication of tho fourth century, and the story that the face of Christ imprinted Itself on the handkerchief of the holy Veronica Is a beautiful and suggestive myth.- but without historic foundation. Christ stands forth In holy writ in spiritual outlines only, but these are the essential elements In every portrait. As his face is pictured on the Bible page a man of any nation can come, to, him and feel kinship. It Is the particular that separates men. The spirit is universal and it tinites us. The spiritual In the face of Christ is for all times and all places, and he who is spiritually inclined may glean from the payings, and the deeds recorded In the gospel record, the elements of a true portrait of Christ. No .one who saw Jesus, and who heard him speak, had more than these. "The Christian Church has used scripture as arrows to assail those indifferent and hostile to Christianity. It has dug deep into the word for materials for creeds and dogmas, and many are the systems of theology that have been eVolved. It is the time to use the New Testament scriptures for the purpose they were given. We lose the chief revelation of God if we pass not behind the teachings and the deeds of Christ to a character picture of the Teacher and Doer. "Faith Is the attitude of our spirit toward another. It is essentially personal. It is the implicit trust or confidence one person renoss In another deemed trustworthy. Faith Increases with knowledge bf the person trusted. If the person Is worthy. So does love, and faith in Jesus Christ and love toward Him are essential attitudes of the human spirit In religion. Saul, when converted,, retired to the Arabian desert to ponder the meaning of the life and-teachings of' Jesus. He rose from the record to the Christ of the record, and came proclaimlng:"It pleased God to reveal his Son to me." Do you say the Holy Spirit did all this? There is much misunderstanding abDUt what the Holy Spirit dees, much to the detriment of earnest, stalwart Christian character. Paul came Into the possession of a spiritual portrait of Christ because he sought for it and fulfilled the conditions necessary for its construction. Said a young Jewess, dying of consump-. tlon: 'You Christians look back to vour Christ: 'we look forward to ours. I beiieve in that great day It will not be asked, which way did you look? but. did vou see Him?' Who shall say she did not see Him?"

WILD WOOD POPULAR. The Snnday Evening Services Drawing Bisr( Crowd. The open air servicts at Wlldwood Park are proving very popular. Last night the big pavilion was nearly idled, and there were but few vacant seats left when the service began. A delightful breeze made the air refreshing and pleasant after the heat of a day that had been unusually humid, even for summer time. Some Inconvenience was occasioned by those who wanted to take the .street cars after the services, as every train was crowded to the guards with . passengers, from Fairview Park. Notwithstanding this drawback every one seemed to regard the evening as one well spent. Rev. Henry A. Buchtel, pastor of the Cen-tral-avenue M. E. Church, conducted the opening exercises, which Included music by a quartet, congregational singing and an offertory by a quartet of trombones and cornets. Rev. Von. Doble, pastor of the Grace Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia, made the Invocation'. Dr. Buchtel introduced Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, as a man who 'discounts the old idea that a prophet Is without honor in his own country. In the ten years that Dr. Haines has worked here, Dr. Buchtel said, he has' been so closely Identified with every project that tends to the upbuilding of mankind that all denominations have learned to love him and to regard him as belonging to them. Dr. Haines read a lesson, from the book of Mark which recites the Incidents attending Christ's last great controversy with the Pharasees and Saducces in the Temple at Jerusalem. Discussing1 the lesson. Dr. Haines said In part: " - "During the weeks of this summer, all over this country of -ours, American citizens are engaged: in the discussion of a great question that of our national currency. This Is a great question, one of farreaching and profound significance, and yet here 1 venture to bring before you one of even deeper significance and more farreaching than that, fo our. national currency. Margaret Fuller once presented for discussion the question. 'What are we born to do?' It is too bad that so many men and women never seem, to. have thoroughly investigated that question. It is too bad so many do not seem io know what they are in this world for. They are aiming at nothing and usually hitting it. Paul said. I run not uncertainly; I light not as one that beateth the air; I press towards the mark of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus.' This question was once asked of Him whom all the civilized' world acknowledges now to be the master of all living. The manstanding before Him in the Temple askeA that question. In substance. Christ stood in the Temple, that day at the culmination of His ministry. The authorities sought to arrest Him. but they feared the multitude, and. seeking to ensnare Him, they sent Pharasecs. , That question about tribute to Caesar was asked Him. If He declared It unlawful-to pay . tribute they knew He would be at once seized by the Roman soldiers, but if He declared It lawful they thought to proclaim that fact to the multitude, who would at once fall away from Him and hate Him. There was nothing in the world a true Jew hated like paying tribute to the Roman. 'Ye hypocrites, He said, 'bring me a penny. Whose superscription is this?' They answered Him. 'Caesar's.' 'Render unto Caesar the things which are Cawar's.', That wonderful answer is embodiment of the highest wisdom in regard to man's combined duty to the state and God. When the Saducees questioned Ilim about the woman with seven husbands He showed them that they lost sight of the essential teaching of the resurrection and the future state. "Margaret Fuller, when she asked. 'What are we born to do?asked In substance the same question as that scribe who asked what is the first commandment of all. What Is man's supreme duty? Again his answer came clear and adequate. Jesus Christ always answers ultimate questions and his answers are finalities. 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy soul.' That was not the answer commonly given. To-day fifty men will answer: 'The best thing a man can do, the highest thing, is to do right and act truly toward your fellow-men: follow the standard of tha Golden Rule.' I wajit to say here and now that It is not the answer Christ gave to that great question He said, 'I come to do my Father's will.' Man's first duty is toward God. Man's life Is measured by relationship. Man is a relation of his fellow-men: he is also a relation of his Father above him. In view of what God Is to us It W only right that we should be under certain obligation to Him. There is no questioning our obligation to Him and the supremacy of the duty. No man Is meeting his suiveme obligation who is trying to be just to his fellows and yet Is leaving God out of his service. You claim to he an honest man. just In your dealings and ask me If that is not enough and I am compelled to. say. 'No. that Is not enough.' Filial love as the child of man and filial love as the child of God is the first duty. Morality is good as Var as It goes, but It does not go far enough. 'But.' you ask, "is It not better to be f.ii honest moralist than a dishonest religionist?' Yes, emphatically ves. but that Is not the spirit in which the honest inquirer puts the question. Love of God Is the root of all relation to God. God has made it possible to love Him and it is criminal not to love Him when we see His patience and forbearance manifested on the cross. Give God love nnd give God and men the expression of that love." In the afternoon the services were conducted by the Indianapolis corps of the American Volunteers. Next Sunday afternoon the services will be in the hands of the Bantlst Young People's Union, when an "echo meeting" of the national convention will be held. Not the Fnshion. Washington Post. The woman with the small waist is getting a foothold on the wheel. How she does It is a mystery. bit the number of tiny waists confined by r.arrow glazed leather belts that spin along the wheel drives Is appalling. Of course the girl Is killing herself, and of course to the trained eye the awful pinch-in is obnoxious; yet. so long as there are those to whose observation jthe circumference of the wal?t alone appeals as the figure. Just so long the waist that Is tiny will have admirers, and just so long will there o girls to bid for such admiration. Frequent as this offense to health, beauty and sense is. It Is not the fashion.

RAILROAD STATISTICS

ABSTRACT OF I XTEIl STATE-CO M.MERCE COMMISSION'S REPORT. Total Mllensre of 1SO.GS7.17, Capitalized at ?10.0Sr,:on,1a:. with Gross EarnlDKi of $1,075,371,102.. WASHINGTON. July 25.-The eighth statistical report of the Interstate-commerce Commission, prepared by its statistician, being the complete report for the year ending June 30, 1S05, for which a preliminary Income account was issued In December, 1S95. has Just been submitted, of which the following is an abstract: In the Introduction of the report the statistician calls attention to three special features: First, the showing of comparative figures where possible for the five previous years; second, the compilation of operating expenses for two years, one summary being 'based on the revised classification of operating expenses, taking effect July 1, 1S04, the other on the classification followed from 1SS7 to that date; and third, the compilation of a table showing revenue and density cf traffic for roads whose gross revenue exceeds $3,000,000. Reference is made to the effect of the continued business depression, and the large number of receiverships. On June 30, 1803, 1CD roads were reported in the hands of receivers, showing a net decrease of twenty-three during the year. The roads under receivers operated 37.85o.S0 miles of line, which shows a decrease of 2.9C3.01 as compared with 1SD4. The railway capital represented by these roads was nearly $2,500,000,000, or about 22.20 per cent, of the total railway capital In the United States. Mileage. Tho total railway mileage in the United States on June T.0, 1S95, was 1S0.657.47 miles, an Increase of 1.94S.S2 miles, or 1.09 per cent. , being shown. The increase in 1S9-T was 2,217.4S miles, or 1.27 per cent., which was less than for any preceding year during the period for which reports have been made to the commission. The Territory and States in which the increase in mileage exceeds 100 miles are: Arizona, 247.41 miles; Illinois. 1SS.70 miles; Pennsylvania, 157 miles; Maine, 132.8'J miles; Texas, 110.41 miles, and Montana. 105.79 mlles. The aggregate length of all tracks in the United States on June 20, 1S03, was 236.894.2C miles. Included in this total track mileage were 19,639.90 miles of second track, 975.25 miles of thlrtl track, 733.12 miles of fourth track, and 43,S$8.4tj miles of yard track and sidings. Classification of Railways. The number -of railway corporations on June 30, 1895, was 1.905. of which 1,013 maintained operating accounts, and SjO financial accounts. During the year fourteen roads were abandoned, nine merged, thirty-two reorganized and twenty-eight consolidated. The classification of railways on the basis of operated mileage shows that forty-two companies, each operating more than 1,000 miles, operate 100,714.71 miles of line, or 55.07 per cent, of the total railway mileage; twenty-four roads with an operated mileage ranging from COO to l.uuO miles, operate lh.W6.4U milts or 10.43 per cent.; twenty-two roads with an operated mileage ranging from 400 to l' miles operate 11,Ih.oT miles, or 6.1S per cent.; forty-five l ourta with an operated mileage ranging from 259 to 400 miles operate 14.3hG.95 miles, or. i.SH per cent.; and 97i roads with an operated mileage under 2.'0 miles operate 25,770.53 miles, or 19.77 per cent. It thus appears that IXi roads, or 12.05 per cent, of operating companies operate 145,155.13 mhes, or 80.24 per cent. of total mileage in operation. From an Inspection of the comparative summary from which these figures are obtained, however, no very great changes in classification are noticeable. Equipment. From the summaries given pertaining to the equipmentof railways, it apiears that the increase in number of locomotives in service was 207. the tctal number on June 30. 195. being 35,699. Of this number 9.H99 were passenger locomotives. 20,012 were freight locomotives, 5,100 were switching locomotives and 53 were unclassified. The number of cars of all classes reported, being those owned by railways, was 1.270.5G1, which Indicates a decrease of 7,517 as compared with the previous year. Of the total cars renorted. 33.112 were in passenger service. 1.1, 119 were In freight service and the remainder. 41.330. were cars used by the reporting companies in their own service. There was an increase of 94 in the number of passenger cars, and an increase of 1.439 In cars assigned to the companies' service1, but cars in freight service decreased 9.0,o. The explanation of this decrease Is not wholly to be found in an effort on ihe part of the railway companies to economize in equipment, but rather in the increased use made Of private cars. From the summaries given it appears that there was a decreased efficiency In passenger service and an increased efficiency In freight service during the year covered by the report. The number of passengers carried per passenger locomotive was 50.747, or 3,907 less than in 1S94. The number of passenger miles per passenger locomotive was 1,218,907, r 225,433 less than in 1894. while the number of passenger carsper 1,000.000 passengers carried was 65. or 12 greater than the preceding year. This Is probably! largely due to decreased travel on account of business depression, but It also suggests that passenger traffic has returned to Its normal condition previous to the World's Columbian Exposition. The number of tons of freight carried per freight locomotive In 1X95 was 34.S17, showing an Increase of 2.9S when compared with the corresponding figures for 1.S91. The number of ton miles per freight locomotive was 4.238.821, the Increase over the previous year being 2l2.0O. These figures indicate Increased economy in transportation of freight. The same result is shown by the fact that l.SX freight cars were required to move l.OuO.000 tons of freight in 1891 and 1.717 in 1S95. These figures, however, are not satisfactory, because the basis of Wie computation does not include cars not owned by railway companies, in which a large proportion of freight Is transported. Of the total equipment 1.3y.2nA locomotives and cars, only 202.49$ were fitted with train brakes, and 40S.8M with automatic couplers on June 30. 1S95. The Increase in equipment fitte-d with train brakes was 31,500. with automatic coupler?, 51,235. The summaries presented show that almost all passenger loeomtlves are fitted with train brakes, and 16,712 out of 20,012 freight locomotives have them. The number of passenger locomotives fitted with automatic couplers on June 30, 1S93. was 3.S93, the Increase during the year being, 411. It appears that C.106 passenger locomotives were without automatic couplers; The number of freight locomotives fitted with automatic couplers was 2.C39. the increase during the year being 731. but as there were 20.012 locomotives in freight service, the deficiency In respect to automatic couplers Is marked. On June GO, is?5, the number f passenger cars in service was 33.112. of which 22.34 were fitted with' train brakes and 31.971 with automatic couplers. The number of freight cars in service was 1,135.119, of which 295.073 were fitted with train brakes and 35.9$3 with automatic couplers. It appears that the passenger service Is well equipped with automatic safety appManocs, but that the freight service is greatly deficient In this respect. Employes. The number of men employed by railways shows an Increase of 5,426. as compared with last j'ear. the number of employes being 7S3.034 on June 30, 1S95. It appears there was an Increase In employes in Groun I. Group II. Group III, Group V and Group IX, but a necrease in the other nve groups. Group V shows the largest per cent, of in crease. In last year's report it 'wan men tioned that the errcct or commercial depression upon the pay roll of railways fell most scveiely upon maintenance of vay and stiuctures, and next to this upon the main tenance of equipment. The comparative fig ures presented in the report also show that such is the case. The returns for the pres ent year show mat men were assigned to maintenance of way and structure per 109 miles of line, against 123 In 1T4. The number of men correspondingly assigned to maintenance of equipment also shows a slicht decrease, being 8S for lS9o, and 6 for 1S91. . Capitalization and Valuation of Railway Property. ThA amount of mP.whv eartltal nn Tuna !." 193. Is shown to be $10.9..293.125. or $03.3.10 per mile of line. The increase during the year was $1 V.72:.312. Railway capital was distributed as follows: The amount of capital stock was $i.901.25$,65C. of which 54.201.697.351 was common stock, and J759..VJ1.305 preferred stock: the iunded debt was $5 -407.114.213. classified as bonds. Jl.653.yi73.54s. miscellaneous obligations. $445,221,472. income bond. $2IC.l'"'VW.!, and equipment trust obligations, $55,915,327; the current liabilities amounted to $016.83O.15i.

A Newspaper Man vellous An Interesting Chapter in Ye Hope, May Profit From the Herald, Mcury County U one of the richest and biggest and best counties in Tennessee. It would be an exaggeration to Ray that any ne man knew every other man in this county, but it may safely be said that few, if any, can come nearer to it than Mr. Joe M. Foster, whose home is at Carter's Creek, and who is now connected with the Herald, In ' the interest of the Herald he has visited nearly every home in the county. Upon "state" occasions that is, the Herald'i annual pic-nlc reunion he is the ''Master of Ceremonies." There are few men better Lnown, few better liked, none more trusted, aui what he says the Herald, unconditionally anci unequivocally, will vouch for. To see him row in perfect health and energy, one would not tnink that two and a half years ago he was a bed-rid Jen invalid, a physical wreck, whose family physician, loved ones at home end friends all thought was soon to be called hence. But such is the case, and not only he but Jus family and a hundred friends will testify to it. It was a peculiar affliction he had, and Ids cure was marvellous, his recovery a nineteenth century miracle. And that other may enjoy the blessings of the wonderful medicine which beyond the peradventure of a doubt under God 'a blessing wring his life, Mr. Foster not desiricg publicity but with the hope of doing good has consented to tell of hi sickness and his cure. It was in the fall of lSy2 he was taken ill. lie was a farmer then, and had spent the day exposed to the weather and working in the field, and for five hours was in the mud, in a stooping position. In a few days thereafter he haa a peculiar feeling in his feet and hands; they became numb and felt z& if asleep. ; But, perhaps, it would be better to let Mr. Foster tell his own experience, and thia is what he says : ' Following the numbness of my feet and hands, that numbness spread until my whole body was paralyzed. I had a dreadful eonitrictioh around my body, and as I grew worse this extended up, cutting off my breathing; it finally got within a few inches of my throat and it was with difficulty that I breathed at all. At irregular interval I had lightning pain throughout my entire body and limns, and for at least fire months I was perfectly helpless, and a man servant was kept in ray room day and night to tarn rue in bed and wait upon me. "In the earlier part of my .illness my feet felt as if I was walking bare-footed on a stiff carpet. Soon I could not walk at all in the dark, and could not even stand alone with my eyes shut. I rapidly grew worse, and . soon my limbs refused to carry, me. Finally I lost my sense of feeling or touch, and could not tell when my feet were against each other, but felt all the while as if they were being pulled apart. "In the beginning I had called in ray family physician, a very successful practitioner. He put me on a treatment, with instructions to lceep very quiet. But I continued to grow worse, ana in about six weeks he told roe, candidly and honestly, that he had done his best, that he had also advised with some of Columbia's leading physicians, giving them my symptoms, but tkat he coufl do nothing for me and it was useless for him to try any further. He and tUe physicians with whom he advised pronounced my disease locomotor ataxia, ana incurable. 44 He told my friend they could try anything they wished, and then I xcean trying everything that was suggested.

Public Service of Railways. The number cf passengers carried by the railways during the year ending June 3f, 1S05. was 507.42l.3C2. which shows a decrease of 33,26G,s:j7. The number of passengers reported as carried one mile was 12.1SK.441.271. a decrease of 2,100,P9'.).622 being shown when compared with figures for previous years. The number of tons of freight carried as reported by railways was re,761.171. which gives nn Increase of 5S.574.61S for the year. The number of tons carried one mile was returned as R5.227.515.&91, indicating an Increase of 4,S02.411,1M. Earnings and Expenses. The gross earnings of the railways of the United Slates for the year ending June "0, 1S05, were S1.075.371.4C2. an Increase of S2.0'9.C65 for the year being thus shown. Passenger revenue was 1252.213.180, showing a decrease of S33.103.378, or 11.60 per cent, for the vear. Freight revenue increased S502.549, or 4.30 per cent., being J720.993.462 for The expenses of operation for th same period were S725.720.415. which were S".6P3.9(i7 less than for IV!. The important unit in railway statistics designated as the coefficient of operating expenses, thru is the pereentage of operating expenses to operating income, for 1S95. was 67.4 per cent.; for 1890, 65.S0 per cent. The Income from operation. $319,61.047. though $7.70..572 greater than it was In 1S9I. was yet lss than for any other year since 1S90. The income accruing to railways from Investments and sources othr than operation amounted to $132,432,133. These figures, compared with corresponding ones for the previous year, show a elecrease of S10.3S4.672. The amount of money at the disposal of railways for tlxed charges and dividends Is the aggregate of Income from operation and Income from other sources. This amount for IMS was $12,0S3.1. Fixed charges for the year amounted to J425.W..921. In they were $3,041,389 greater. The deduction of fixed charges leaves $56,116.29 as net Income from which to pay dividends. The amount of dividends, including $;73,957 other payments from net Income, was $i".C1.500. from which It appears that the railways of the United States closed the year with a deficit from the year's operations of $29.45.211. which was met by a decrease in accumulated surplus, or by the creation of. current liabilities. The corresponding deficit for the year ending June 33. 1S94. was $45.S51,2V.. In connection with an explanatory statement, two summaries appear In the report, which give an analysis of operating ex-, penses for the years ending June X K'4. and 195. The summary for the former year embraces fifty Items, and the summary for the latter year,- conforming to the revised classification. ...ty-seven items. From a compilation showing revenue and density of traffic for roads whose gross revenue ex ceded ?3,Jtr3.oj It appears that the seventy-five companies represented for 1X95 operated a mileage of J19.S10.(S miles, cr 67.41 pr cent. of. the total mileage operated. The gross earnings of these companies were S$74.542.tf." that Is. fcl.22 per cent, of the gross earnings of all the.rattways of the United States.

I 1 u u Relates a Mm Story. His Own Life Some, by Reading Same. 0iumbia, Tenru externally, h.tt all to no effect, ratil, tboxl Aprii 1st. 193, a cousin, Mr. A. X. Aiken, of Columbia (who is now clerk and Master of the Chancery Court of this countv), recommended Dr. Williams Fink Fills for Pale People. "I begun using them as per directions for locomotor ataxia, and in about one week some cf my friends thought I was better; but it was two weeks before the improre ment van plain to ail and satisfactory to niy self. Then, however, I knev the pills were doing their grand. and glorious wort, and I kept taking them until I could hobbla about on crutches. "It was suggested to me then that natura would do the rest, and I left off the pills. In about ten days I saw that I was goinj down hill again; I promptly renewed tht pills, and again I began to improve. A second time 1 tried to leave the battle to a good constitution, but found it still too weak so I commenced on the pills agaia and kept taking them until I was velL I was in my fifty-Srt year when I was taken sick. It is now about two yeara since I discarded stick and crutch and found my legs stroi g enough to carry me. I am entoying spienuia neaitn, weigh more ana jook better than for years, and attribute my health end ray recovery aud life to the magic of Pink Pills for Pale People, under the blessing of God. 44 1 have recommended these pills to number of people, and many I know have been cured by them. I wish in my heart that every person on earth who is suffering as I was could get them and would try them. "To those who know me. I hope it is not necessary for me to add that I make thia statement of my own free will, without money and without price. But if there ar) any who are inclined to doubt, I will refer them to Dr. J. H. Hill, J. M. Hunter. R. D. Lockridge, Joe Terwell, Anderson Nichols, fc?. B. and G. W. Nichols, all of Carter's Creek, Maury County, Tenn., or if they will call upon me I will give them the names of ft hundred witnesses of as good men and womea as the sun ever shone upon. "Hoping some poor sufferer may read and believe and be raised from a bed of pain, I am Very respectfully,' Joe M. Foster, Care of the HeraU, Columbia, Tenncsse.w Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are prepared by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. of Schenectady, N. Y.t a firm w hoes ' ability and reliability are unquestioned. Pink Pills are not looked upon as a patent medicine, but as a prescription, having beea used as such for years in general practice, ind their successful results in curing various afflictions made it imperative that they be prepared in quantities to meet the demand of the public, and place them in reach of all. They art an unfsiliru? specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, psrtisl paralysis, Ft. Vitus dance, sciatica,, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale end sallow complexions, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration, all diseases resulting froa vitiated humors in the blood such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also ft specific for troubles peculiar to females, such a suppressions, irregularities, and all forme of weakness. They Tbuild op the blood, and restore the glow of health to. pale and sallow cheek. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising fron? mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever narnre. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loot form by the doron or hundred, and the publia are cautioned against numerous iraitationj sold in this shape) at 0 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. ana xnav be had of all drnirgists? or direct by mail froa Dr. Willie 1 Medicine Company. was $6,050. The figures also show that thes seventy-five companies performed H.0S per cent, of the total passenger nervice, and R4.55 per cent, of the total freight service. It 13 interesting to note that the net revenue per mile for this class of roads, as a whole, which was S2.R62 in 1S90. decreased to $2,425 In l95t the difference being $437. There appears to have been an increase In net revenue per mile of line only In Oroup I. composed of the New Kngland States, Group VI. covering the territory west of Lake Michigan nnd Indiana and ea.st and north of the Missouri river, and Group IX. Including the States of Louisiana and Texis. Railway Accidents. The number of railway employes killed during the year ending June 30. 195. waa and the number fnj ired was 25.CT4. These figures, compared With those of the previous year, how a decrease 'of twelve in the number killed a.id an Increase of 2.274 in the number Injured. The number of passengers killed was 170. the number Injured 2.375. These figures give for the year a decrease of 154 In the number killed and 659 in the number injured. The number of passengers killed Is remarkably small. The smallest number killed in any of the preceding seven years was 26, In 1K9U. One employe was killed for each 433 employed, and one employe was Injured for each thirty-one employed. Of the class of emplciyca known as trainmen that Is, engineers, liremen, conductors and other employes whose service is upon trains it appears that one was killed for each 155 In service and one Injured for each eleven In service. The number of passengers carried for each passenger killed during the year was 2.PS4.832. and the number carried for each passenger Injured was 213.C5I. The liability cf passenKers to accidents is letter shown. In the fact that 71.CX743 passenger miles were accomplished for every passenger killed, and 5.131.977 passenger miles for every passenger Injured. A comparative statement shows that considerable advance was made during 1S In respect to railway casualties. -It Is suggested that beneficial results were derived from the fitting ot equipment with automatic appliance-, as well as from the raising of the character of railway service and grade of railway equipment, first noted In the last rejort. Conclusion. In concluding his rerort the statistician renews his recommendations that reports be required from express companies engaged in interstate traffic, from nil corporation, companies or persons owning rolllqg stock which Is used in interstate commerce, as also all corporations, companies or persons owning uepot property, etjck yards, elevators and the like, and from all carriers by water whose business influences Interstate trarlic. The further recommendation Is made that Congress be requested to provide for a bureau of statistics and aceounts. which hall have th right of Inspection and control over the acrountinj departments of the common carriers.
