FORT FRAYNE."

In The Mail of October 17th will begin a new story by Capt. Chaa. King, whose stories of military life have made him popular with the reading public. It is en titled "Fort Frayne," being a narrative of frontier army life. The Mail has pub lished a number of the stories of Capt. King, and all have proved very popular. Fort Frayne is one of the very best of his stories, and will certainly please The Mail's readers.

THE time for walking the floor grows smaller by degrees and beautifully less. Three weeks from next Tuesday the tale will be told.

A OKNKBA election was held in Georgia this week and up to date only four murders and one lynching have been reported as resulting from trouble at the polls.

MR. BRYAN made a flying trip through Indiana .this week, and was received by enormous crowds. He would no doubt be glad to know the exact proportion of those who hear him will vote for the theories he advocates.

JUST as fast as an eastern state goes Republican a southern state goes Democratic to emphasize the fact that it isn't going to be one-sided this year. Georgia and Florida both went Democratic this week, although the pluralities were less than at the corresponding time in the lust, presidential year.

THK intensity of feeling that prevails in some of the western states over the issues of this campaign is well exemplified in a decision of the secretary of state of Colorado, a Republican. He holds that the Colorado Republicans who are for McKinley have no right to use the name and emblem of the Republican party, that right being given presumably to the silver Republicans who have endorsed Bryan, and want his electors on the Republican ticket. Should the supreme court of the state uphold this decision there will be no McKinley electoral ticket in Colorado, because the McKinley people did not file a petition to have their electors placed on the ticket.

TIIR state board of health is certainly entitled to credit for the determined effort it is making to have the health regulations enforced, not only among the people generally, but, by the doctors, some of whom are very careless. Health rules for school proposed some time ago, have been adopted by the board with no other modification than a change in rule 2, making it the duty of a school or township trustee to exclude filthy children, instead of the teacher's duty, as. the rule originally read. The board has also adopted the rules proposed for the government, of physicians when they are dealing with infectious diseases. These rules demand certain precautions auil dress when physicians enter the sick rooms. In each ease failure to obey these rules may cause the law-breakers to pay a flue not over #100. and at the second offense suffer imprisonment.

IT isn't often that, a man who has arrived at a mature age with a reputation in one profession is able to create for himself & still greater reputation in auother altogether different profession, yet this was the history of George l)u Maurier, whose death occur ml this week. With a well deserved reputation as a successful artist, he created a sensation a few years ago when his first novel, "Peter *Ibbet,tson," appeared. Then came "Trilby'' which no doubt created more of a sensation and aroused more Interest than any book published in recent years. His latest work, "The Martian," is running in Harper's Mi gaxine, but it is not announced whether or not his death will interfere with^its publition.UHis death is said ~to~ have been almost as tragic as that of his own Srengnlli. It

will be remembered that when Trilby's reputation was at its height Svengalli died suddenly with heart trouble, and this was true of the creator of both those familiar -characters.

THK Chicago Record is going to settle this election right away, and relieve a great many worried minds that are now in doubt. It has adopted a novel scheme of sending out poetal cards to a certain proportion of the voting population iu the so-CAlled doubtful states in the central crest, including Indiana. Illinois. Ohio. Iowa. Michigan, Missouri ami Wisconsin. irviting the voters to express their «resl-1 organisation itself or the party whose dential preference The plan is so hatred nise it espouses. about with safeguards that a man stii his vote dops it in a manner that makes it a* aeeret the Awrtrotian Hu ot. Kverv postal mnmling a vote is tiered nn.l cisteml. so that in ca«e a msn .does not care, to sign his name

to th n- 1w of

-port to the Record. Thai there may be no jaaestion as to holding against a.man a record of his vote, all votes will be destroyed after being counted, as is done nnder the Australian system in this state. It is expected that this scheme will show about the way each of the states named above will vote in the election next month, and thus settle in advance all the issues now being discussed on the hustings, and in the newspapers. The plan proposed by the Record has on the face of it the evidence of fairness, and very much interest is being manifested in the result. The vote as counted by the Record's election commission up to and including yesterday is as follows: McKinley, 22,407 Bryan, 6,672 Palmer, 584 Levering, 185.

IT is becoming more and more apparent that Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan will be the great battle-field on which this campaign is to be decided. All parties actively participating are gradually concentrating their forces in these states for the final stand. The big Republican orators not already on the ground are moving in this direction. Chauncey Depew is there, and has opened his batteries. The old war generals have completed their swing around the circle and started charge upon the enemy's ranks Thursday. Speaker Thomas B. Reed, Senator Hale and Sena tor W. P. Frye are all en route to take part in the final engagement. Mr. Reed will complete his eastern dates at Buffalo next Tuesday and go from there direct to Illinois, where he will receive assignments from the national committee. Senators Hale and Frye will be there week after next. They are to address the Republicans of Michigan and Kentucky before reaching Chicago. All of these expounders of Republican doctrine will be heard at various points throughout the disputed territory. Tbey will probably be met in Illinois and Indiana and Michigan by such free silver advocates as ex-Gov. Boies, Senator Vest, Mr. Bland, Senator Blackburn, Senator Teller, Congressman Towne and the army of less prominent orators from Colorado, Utah and other silver mining states.

IT is safe to say that never before was there injected into a political campaign as much sacrilege as has marked the present campaign. Beginning with the sentence that made Bryan famous, and which it is claimed was not original with him, but with a Massachusetts Republican congressman, referring to the crown of thorns and cross of gold, there have been made numerous references to scriptural subjects, which to many persons, Democrats as well as Republicans, seem almost a desecration of the Bible. One of the latest of these is a prayer, which has been used extensively against the Republican candidates. It is a blasphemous imitation of the Lord's prayer, and it is said that in the eastern states it can be heard from political speakers every night. It reads as follows: "Our father, who art in England, Rothschild be thy name. Thy kingdom come to America thy will be done in the United States as it is done in England. Give us this day bonds that are payable in gold, but not in silver give us the votes of laboring men to keep monopolies in power. We know that we have sinned against thee we have robbed the honest poor and protected the dishonest rich. Lead us not into temptation to help the common people, the farmer and the laborer, and deliver us from 16 to 1 and thus we shall have the kingdom and the power, gold bonds and interest for ever and ever. A men."

IN Cook county, Illinois, which practically means the city of Chicago, Eugene V. Debs, with the directors of the American Railway Union who kept him company in the Woodstock jail, to-night begins a canvass in the interest of Bryan and free silver. It is perhaps the first time, that a labor organization, as an organization, ever took part in a campaign for a ticket, and it emphasizes the fact that the free silver people expect to win this time, not by getting the farmer vote alone but by that of orgauized labor. In the county of Cook two years ago there were cast close to 300,000 votes, and this has doubtless been greatly increased. A great proportion of this vote is that of laboring men, although perhaps it would be wrong to say that such a large proportion is identified with organized labor. No doubt a similar attempt will be made in all the large cities during the three weeks yet remaining of the campaign to bring the laboring people into line for the "second Christ," as an enthusiastic admirer called Mr. Bryan at Indianapolis this week. There is no question but that the vote of American labor will elect the next president, whether it be McKinley or Bryan. The five

million

farmers, the half million owners, managers and clerks of manufacturing concerns, and the less than a million merchants, capitalists, railroad managers, mine owners, contractors and all other employers of labor, could never be

brought to vote all

together but- if they did, they would cast less than half the total vote. The men who work for wages cast much over half the entire vote, and can always elect any presidential candidate they choose. But they have never voted as one man, or at the dictation of any leader or aet

of leaders.

Much is said about the influence of labor organisations, but they do not, as a matter of fact, embrace as many as a quarter of the wage-earners of the country. Most of the labor organisations refuse to take any political action whatever, and it remains to lie seen whether the effort*of the American Railway Union to make itself a poliit :*1 power will result in any good for the

fiw Cat} of Cordova.

From the station we drove through a •taring white suburb, past the well whitewashed walls of the bull ring, to the Fonda de Oriente. It was still early in the afternoon, the sun fierce, the light blinding—the hour when all summer we had been sleeping and dreaming in the Alhambra's halls and the Generalife's gardens. Remembering their loveliness, and hoping for new beauty like it, we could not stay in the dull hotel bedroom, though with its tiled floor it was fairly cool and clean, and we went out into the town. Silence hung over it like a pall. Every winding street in the labyrinth beyond the Paseo was empty not a living creature in sight, only once in awhile a beggar, who rushed from some spot of shade to assail us. All the low, white houses, with their iron barred windows, were tight shut. The place was abandoned and desolate, its silence unbroken by sound of toil or traffic.

Was this really the Cordova of Musa and Abderrabman, the Cordova once called the Bagdad or Damascus of the west, whose streets were ever alive with the clang of arms, the pomp of processions, the clatter of students going to and from the schools, whose name was a synonym for wealth and power, for culture and industry—the world famous town with its scientists and merchants and women doctors? It was as if a plague had fallen suddenly upon the town and left not one man, woman, or child to tell the tale.—Elizabeth R. Pennell in Century.

Wendell Phillips.

The Cosmopolitan quotes some personal comments written by Wendell Phillips when on his lecture tours. From Illinois he writes, in a car, with a lead pencil: "The weather is dull only two days since I left that I have seen the sun rain, snow, clouds, damp, mud and grim heavens. Still, the audiences are larga"

From one of the oil towns in Pennsylvania "Hero I am in an oil town, mud over the hubs of the wheels literally, one horse was smothered in it ibe queerest orowd of men, with trousers tucked in their boots. Everybody here is making money—the first place I have found whero this is the oasa Explanation— they have all struck oiL "In Milwaukee, I had a fine suit of rooms, bath, chamber, parlor, with pier glass 10 feet high and 5 feet broad— nothing showy—just comfortable "I, the traveler, the elderly gentleman, have been kissed in Illinois!

It was an old man of 78 years, a veteran abolitionist, a lovely old saint. In the early days of the cause we used to kiss each other, like the early Christians, and when he saw me he resumed the habit

A Physician's Novel Device.

The carrier pigeon has been put to many uses, such, for instance, as making known the results of races and elections to people living at a distance. But a doctor in Scotland has extended its utility in a remarkable way. Ho has a large and scattered practice, and we gather from The Medical Press and Circular that when he goes on long rounds ho carries a number of pigeons with him. If he finds that some of his patients require medicine at once he writes out prescriptions, and by means of the pigeons forwards them to his surgery. Here an assistant gets the messages, prepares the prescriptions and dispatches the medicine. If, after visiting a patient, the doctor thinks he will be required later in the day, he simply leaves a pigeon, which is employed to summon him if necessary. To this enterprising physician the keeping of carrier pigeons mcaus a saving of time, expense and labor.

What Willie Said.

The minister, it was expected, would spend the evening with the family, and Mrs. Williams was most anxious that her little boy should appear at his best "Now, Willie," she said, "Dr. Schultz will ask you your name, and you must tell him it is Willia And he will ask you how old you are, and then you must say 'Five. And he will want to know where bad little boys go, and you must tell him, 'They go to hell.' Do you understand?" Not content with a repetition once or twice, Mrs. Williams drilled him again and again in the answers.

Dr. Schultz came, as expected, and after a short conversation with the hostess lifted the child on his knee and said, "Well, my little fellow, can you tell ne your name?" Imagine the surprise of the reverend doctor when, like a flath, came the answer: "Willia Five years old. Go to hell!"—London Figaro.

She Had Her Choioe.

"And so she married a man named Smith. That shows she was pretty hard up." "On the contrary, she says she had her choice of names." "Had her choice of names and chose Smith?" "That's what she said." "Oh, well, I suppose she means her choice of his and hers, and she naturally chose his."—Chicago Post

If You Have a Sick Child This is Surely a Message of Hope. This is the best of news for patents of, weakly or sickly children. It is a fact that our people have heretofore not had the same opportunity for having their children who suffer from chronic and lingering complaints treated and cured by eminent specialists in children's diseases as do the residents of the great cities where such skilled physicians reside. In other words our people have been debarred from seeking a cure for their children by the great physicians, owing to the cost of travel to the large city and the high fees charged by such physicians.

Here, therefore, is a chance for the cure of the children of our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 35 West Fourteenth street, New York City, who is beyond doubt the most successful specialist in curing diseases of children, offers to give free consultation by mail in all cases of children's complaints. Parents have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing their children's diseases and he will, after carefully considering the symptoms, write a letter fully explaining the trouble, telling everything about their complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails your children. He will also give his advice, founded upon his vast experience aud wonderful success in treating such cases, as to just what to do to effect a cure. All this will cost you nothing and you can thus have consultation with the best known physician and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write to him now about your child, for this is a chance of cure which you may never have again.
