1 he 400th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther was observed all over the christian world, Saturday and Sunday. Special services were held in honor of the occasion in the Protestant churches of Rome, Paris and St. Petersburg; throughout England, Ireland, Canada, Denmark. Germany and the United States were almost entirely given over to the day. Pare Hyacinths spoke at the Lutheran Memorial church in New York, and Bishop ThqraL3, of Rochester, England, now in this country, contributed an eloquent address from Luther to America. Monsignor Capel preached two sermons in the Catholic Cathedral, Cincinnati, devoted to Luther, The morning discourse was devoted to showing that the Catholic Church, at the time oi Lufcher. was not the corrupt thing its enemies asserted it to be, but vigorously active- in all good works. "At. night he denieH that Luther was a reformer in any souse of the word; that to Catholicism and not Protestaniam was the world indebted for the light that followed the fifteenth centuiy; that Luther's teaching tends to destruction, not to building up. It tends to rationalism and agnosticism. Communism, another cf its legitimate fruits, was not known iu te middle ages. Revolt against the principal authority lends to all this. No nation has ever been converted to Christianity by Luther's followers,

Seen in Colorado. Monorpnhela Republican, Since I came into Color ado I have played at snow ball with John Sutmau on the last day of July.

This at Alpine Pass. I have seen men on horseback along the railroad tracks, where we have met afoot, as track walkers: have seen these horsemen draw out a red flag, and ride bare back a dare devil gallop over the ties to flag a train. I have seen the ticket agent at Marshall's Pass; 10,726 feet altitude, 'sitting by a roaring fire at his office, July 30, while outside the ladies of our excursion were gathering wild flowers and berries, thermometer 44 degrees in the shade. I have seen in the streets of twentysaloon towns open gambling hells, with a sign, "Cards and Rum." I have seen mountains of rocks thousands of feet high, with the stones arranged layer upon layer, as if built by a mason, as regularly and carefully laid, and. I have seen standing in the miudle of a plain a flat stone on its edge 330 feet to the top. And I have seen in the Royal Gorge, a mountain over 2,000 feet high, all seeming one solid stone, without a crack or crevice, actually one big solid rock. I have seen a girl, dashing over the plains on horseback, dismount to pick a boquefc for her hat, and, calling her Newfoundland dog, step on his back and remount. 1 have seen an open Bible lying on a carved oak altar at the entrance of a rum shop and gambling den in Lead ville, and above the Bible a 'sign painted, saying: "Please, kind friend, don't swear." Think of such an appeal, made in such a way, by the keeper of a drinking den!

They Don t Wear Horns. Charles G. Pranoklyn, late of the Cunard Steamship Line, and the owner of the Franoklyn .cottage, in which Garfield died, has become a laree cattle and ranch owner in the Southwest. To improve the breed of his cattle, Mr. Franckln recently imported from Scotland two buffalo bulls which are so-called because they have no horns. The animals are coal -black, thoroughbreds and are valued at $2,000 each. In order to rest them after their ooean voyage and before shipning them West, Mr. Fran oklyn placed the animals on his place on Grimes Hill, Stapleton. Peter Gallagher, a hired man, took one of the bulls out for exercise. The bull and man soon found pleTty of it. The animal jerked the rope from Gallagher's arm, around which he had wound it, with such force that his left shoulder was dis-
Ioch , ed. The bull then knocked Gallag
her through a fence. He kept butting

The hired man's ribs on one side were all splintered and probably fatal injuries were inflicted Patrick Sennett, who came up, seized a large ball stick and hit the bull across the head, injuring one eye, Thebull and Sennett then had a lively game of tag around a large tree until the end of the animal's rope was in front of the quickly moving Sennett.

SCO guests and is unquestionably the lead
ing health resort of the country. Several
years ago this benevoh nt man wisely determined to be his own executor; and,
therefore turned over this macnificent property worth $$300,000, as a flee gift to
a board of trustees, representing the
principal evangelical denominations.
Among the trustees are Bishop A. C.
Cox, Protestant Episc. pal,Buffalo; Bish
op Matthew Simpson, Methodist Episco
pal, Philadelphia; President M. B. An
derson, of the University of Rochester;
Rev. Dr, Clark, Secretary of the A. B. 0. HIT T . i rrr' " i .

of the institution is 'he care: 1st. of
evangelical missionaries iand their famil
ies whose health has been broken in their work. 2nd. of ministers of any denom
ination in good standing. 3rd. of mem
bers of any church: who otherwise would
be unable to secure finch care and treat
ment The current expenses of the insti
tution are met bv the fpeipts from the
hundreds of distingnn 1 H and wealthy
people who every year crowd its utmost
capacity. Here come men and women
who were once in perfect health, bat neg
footed the first symptoms of disease. 1 he
uncertain pains they felt at first were overlooked until their health became im
paired. They little realized the danger befcre them, nor how alarming even tri
fling symptoms niight prove. They con
stitute all classes,inelucling ministers and
bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen, millionaires, 'journalists, college, professors
and officials from all parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter remarked, "Doctor, that letter of yours
has created a good deal of talk,and m my
of our readers have questioned its au-
henticity."
"To what do you refer?" remarked the
doctor. "Have you not seen the paper?" "Yes, but I have not had time to
it yet." The reporter thereupon showed
the letter, which was as follows: CiiIfton Sfitkgs Saketabium Co . CtoiPTON Springs, N. Y., Oct. 11, '83
Dear Sir: I am using Warner's Saf a Cure; and I regard it as the best remedy
for some forms o' kidney disease that we
have. I nm watching with great care some' cases I am treating with it, and I hope for favorable results. I wish you might come down yourself as I would like very much lb talk with you about your sterling remedy and show you over our institution. .... Yours truly, Signed. HENRY FOSTER M.D. "I do not see why anybody should be skeptical concerning that letter" remarked the doctor. "Isn't it: unusual for a physician of your standing and influence to commend a proprietary preparation?" "I don't kno .v how it may be others, but in this institution we allow no person to dictate to us wnat we shall use.
course they won't move. See? There's just one woman standin' up in the middle of the car, keepin' all the rest crowded out here by the door. Of course, she don't hear. You can't make her hear, an' if she did hear once she wouldn't pay no 'tention. Now, there goes another. See, way up ahead there, wavin hex hand?
She wants ma to stop the car, an' I'll bat a dollar she ain't within Iwo blocks of
the place she wants to get off at, but she
thinks I don t see her, an' she can just
keep on tbinkin' eo. You'll ee her stand
np in a minute, an' then she'll stand for
full half a block before the car gets to her street 'feard aha won't have time to
get off, probably."
"But all women are not that way ?" "Yes they be pretty much all. It
seems, by Jove, as it you couldn't teaoh a woman any thin 'bout things. They nev
er seem to notice anything the way ft man
does. They jest keen lookin' t&rniaht
ahead of them kind of dazed like an tbinkin' of nothin' but the one thing they
want to do, without takin time to calcu
late the beat way to do it Now there
comes another of 'em wavin' her hand on
the front steps of that house over there-
see? She's forgot all about the ear's not
stoppin' any more in the middle of a
block, an' she won't think of it until the
car s gone past, and then if 11 kind o!

Dumb Airu
It Was Contempt. Detroit Free Press. In the days gone by a citizen of Detroit who baa lately been gathered to his lathers was a Justice of the Peace for one ot the townships of this county. One day as he sat in his office with nothing to do a friend came along with a young horse. The Squar1 was somewhat conoeited on the horse question, and when informed that the equine in question would let no one ride him he at once de.termined to accomplish the feat. A crowd gathered, a saddle was brought, and his Honor presently found himself astride of the beast. The next thing he knew be was in a muddy ditch, and a dozen men were laughing to kill. "I declare this court in session 1" yelled bis Honor as he struggled up. At this there was a fresh burst oi! laughter, and he continued;
"And each and every one of you is fined 3 for contempt of court!" They laughed harder than ever,, but the fines were recorded an 1 coUected,and for years after ifc was understood that court was in session except when the Squar was in bed and asleep.

the prisoner is called for trial he is dismissed for want of prosecution. Some
times o ther causes besides weariness keep
prosecuting witnesses out of court. The
queerest ending to a case I eVer knew of
was in one I had at the West Twelfth
street police court several years ago. A
railroad watchman had been arrested for stealing about fifty tubs ot butter from
cars left in his care. The police had recovered the butter from him, and had
caught him in the act of stealing it. . I
was hired to , defend him. He said he wanted the trial postponed, and so his case was continued for ten days. One of the railroad officials had bailed him out, and he went right on working for the same company as if nothing had happened. I thought that was a little strange. When the watchman's case was next called for trial nobedy appeared to prosecute him, and he was dismissed. I then asked' him how he came to get off so. easily."" "Why, you see," he explained, "the officials failed to prosecute me because I stole the butter under their directions. They were a good deal annoyed because the police arrested me before I had time to distribute the butter." KusHMOrffi, O. Dr. A. Page says: "1 have prescribed Brown's Iron Bitters is

A member of ths Texas bar committed suicide because his client berated bim for losing his ease.
Our purpose'' iB to cure the sick, and for that work we use nn3i;hinp that we know to be valuable. Because I know Warner's Safe dure is a very valuable preparation, I commend it. As itp power is manifested under my use, so shall' I add to the completeness of my commendation." j "Have you ever analyzed it, doctor?" "We always analyse before' we try any preparation of which we do not know the constituents. But analysis, you know, only gives the elements; it does not give the all important proportions- The remarkable power of Warner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in the proportions according to whioh its elements are mixed." While there may be a thousand remedies made of the same elements, unless thev are put together in proper proportions, they are worthless as liver and kidney preparations. "I hope some day to meet Mr. Warner personally, and extend further congratulations to him on the excellence of his
preparations. I have heard mach of him as the founder of Warner's Observatory, and as a man of large benevolence. The reputed high character of the man himself gave assurance to me that he would not, first, pot a remedy upon the market that was not trustworthy ; and it was a source of a good deal of gratifies tion to me that to find out by actual experiment that the remedy itself sustained my impressions." The conclusion reached by Dr. Poster is precisely the same found by Dr. Dio Lewis, Dr. Bobert A, Qunn, ex-Surgeon-General Gallagher and others, and proves beyond adoubt the great efficacy of the remedy which has awakened suoh attention in the Jland and rescued so many men, women and children from disease and death.
