TO TELEPHONE THE DEMOCRAT CALL
NO. 180.
SATURDAY, JULY 1
"If the President will oppose
trusts,.imperialism and the methods
of Boss Hanna, I will support him,"
6ays Gov. Pingree. If Pingree sticks
to his word it is safe to say that he
will not be for McKinley.
Col, H.C. Sanfobd takes pleasure
in standing up to be knocked down
by the politicians who control the
local Republican Machine. The
Colonel is now a full-fledged candi
date for Representative, but he will
be permitted to get no nearer the
nomination than was the case in his
race for .the Mayoralty.
The Investigating Committee
appointed by the Board of Education
was very expeditious in the matter
of taking testimony, but it seems to
be arriving at conclusions with a
very lame and halting pace. Every
week's delay adds to the general con
fusion and makes it more difficult to
have perfect order restored before the
beginning of the fall term.
"Bkeak: your alliance with the
Administration or get out of the cab
inet," is the ultimatum of the
Administration to Secretary Alger.
"Kick me out if you dare," is the
ultimatum of Alger to the Adminis
tration. If Alger knew less about
certain state affairs which the Ad
ministration is not making matters
of public record, the outcome would
not be so -much in dobut.
WHEN.MarkHanna made an alli
ance.with Geo. B. Cox to control the
Ohio convention, the Administration
looked on with approval, but when
Secretary Alger allies himself with
Pingree to control Republican affairs
in Michigan, the union is deprecated
as being both insurrectionary" and
unholy. All of which goes to show
that the Administration either
lacks the fine senEe of discrimina
tion in the matter of alliances gener
ally, or that Mark Hanna alone is
authorized to negotiate such combi
nations in behalf of the Republican
party. .
If Senator Foraker wants to give
force to his suggestion that the elec
tions of 1899 and 1900 come before the
election of 1901 he should lose no
time forming an offensive and defen
elve alliance with Secretary Alger.
The Michigan statesman acting as a
private bureau ol information, and
the Ohio statesman standing on the
floor of the Senate and demanding an
investigation of some of the scandals
concerning tho conduct of the late
war, would liavo a great deabof influ
ence on the election of 1900. There
is such a thing as baiting Alger and
Foraker too far.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For the Week Beginning; Julr
2 Comment by Itev. S. H. Doyle.
Topic Oar country for Christ. Ps. xxxiii,
10-22. (A Chrl-tian citizenship meeting.)
The nearness of our -national birthday
naturally suggests our topic. And what
reasons for discussing it since July 4,
one year ago. Then was brought to ns
the news of the destruction of Cervera's
Ieet Since that time Santiago has
fallen, the war with Spain successfully
ended, and peace declared. What more
fitting than that our nation, in deep
(latitude and thanksgiving, should con
lecrate itself to God in Christ, should
take a great forward step in making
our country a .Christian country, not
only in name, but in fact and in deed ?
1. Our country for Christ, for
Christ's sake, "For Christ's sake"
should be.our supreme motive for every
action. For Christ's sake we should
strive to win our country for Christ.
To pay to Him the debt our nation
owes to Him, to-increase His honor and
to magnify His glory by our earnest
prayers, our unabated interest in home
missions, we should strive to make our
country Christ's country.
2. Onr country for Christ, for our
country's sake. Christ does not need us
nearly so much as we need Christ.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is tho
Lord, and the people whom He hath
chosen for His inheritance. " The Amer
ican nation never needed Christ and
Christianity go much as it needs them
today. Grave and farreaching problems
are before ns, the solution of which
will require the profonnclest wisdom,
tbe broadest charity, the kindliest for
bearance, and what but Christianity
can furnish us with these qualifications?
There are interal problems of gigantic
proportions before us corruption in
high places, bossism in politics, the.sa
loon problem, socialistic problems, tbe
Sabbath question, and many others.
The solution of most of these problems
is contained, directly in Christianity,
and all of them are indirectly contained
in it. How, therefore, can they ever be
satisfactorily solved, unless ,the nation
is a Christian nation?
8. Our country for Christ for the
world's sake. . A worldwide conflict is
on. Forces are 'at -work which are des
tined to determine the future character
of tbe whole world. In the providence
of God our nation ,is undoubtedly des
tined to have a large part in determin
ing the moral, religious and political
character of the world. The great re
public of the west is more and more
looked to as a. guide and an inspiration
by peoples fondly dreaming of liberty
and of freedom. The Christianization
of America means a long .stride in the
Christianization of the world. We owe
it to the world to win onr country for
Christ, so that it shall not only assist
in leading the nations of the world to
political and civil liberty, but also to
tho liberty wherewith Christ makes
men free

Hearer of Burdena.
Christ revealed God as, the world's
burden bearer, full of 7111 exquisite kind
ness and sympathy; that what He was
through three and thirty years God was
through all the ages; that what He
was to xnblicnn and dinner in Bethle
hem God was for all maimed and
wrecked hearts in all worlds; that no
human tear falls but Gnd feels it; that
no blow smites the suffering heart bnt
God shrinks and "uffers; that with
wistfnl longing He follows the publican
and the prodigal, waiting for the hour
when He may recover "the youth to his
integrity or to lead the man grown
gray in sin back to his Father's house.
Newell Dwigbt Hillis.
A Pnrltnii'a Itenolve.
, Here is a noble resolve found in tbe
journal of an old Pnritan divine: "Re
solved that, when I address a large
meeting, I shall remember that God is
there, and that will make ii small ; re
solved that, -when I address a small
meeting, I shall remember that God is
there, and that will make it great."
The recollection of God's presence, in
the urst instance, prevents tbe minister
from being .lifted up with pride and
conceit, and, 'in the second, from being
discouraged and cast down. At present
God is the needed vitalizer and ouick-1
assemblies. Pres-
The Xeed of Enthusiasm In Religion.
We need to iDJect a little heart into
the ccld intellectualism which swaye
the minds of many of our would be
philosophers of today. Fed the head
as much as yon will, but do not starve
the heart, for if yon let tho heart lan
guish religion goes with it. The heart
is tho vital organ of religion as certain
ly as it ie tbe vital organ of the human
body. When it ceases to throb, religion
ceases to exist. Come, brethren; give
us a little more heart, a little more en
thusiasm. Jewish Comment
Cn-rrr Oar Own Harden.
Let any man carry his own burden,
and he is doing much more than saving
himself. He I perbaiis making the best
possible contribution to the strength of
the common life. Let any man be lavish
of his strength in serving others, and
he is doing much more, than helping
others. He is re-enforcing his own
strength to carry his own burden.

Call-This Marvelous
Transformation?
Little Frankie TriscU Afflicted With
Paralysis, Now Walks as
Well as Ever.
After Two Magnetic Treatments By
the Boy Phenomenon She Runs
and Plays Like Other
Children.
Every day is swelling the record
of phenomenal cures accomplished
through that strange and subtle
power, Vital Magnetism, as possess
ed and exemplified daily by tbe Boy
Phenomenon, now at the Buchtel
h'otel.
One of the many marvelous cures
accomplished by this strange power
the past week marvelous because
of the startling rapidity in which it
was euecieu, is matin nine rrtuiMu
Trisch of 106 Charles street, who has
been a cripple from paralysis, atro
phy of the nerves and rheumatism,
making her such acripplethat it was
with the greatest pain and exertion
she could get around at all.
Such was her pitiful condition two
weeks ago when her father carried
her in arms to the opera house, and
before that great audience she was
healed by the Boy Phenomenon and
restored to her anxious parents, a
happy child. Such a wonderful
transformation, from withered, stiff
and sore limbs, to one of health and
childish vigor, in the full possession
of her limbs, pain, stiffness and sore
ness all gone, able to run and play
like other children all within two
weeks' time may seem too wonder
ful to believe. But the facts are
capable of proof. You are not asked
to take anyone's word, orjtravelfarto
ascertain the truth. Right here in
Akron the change was wrought. At
102 Charles street is the living,
healthy proof of this mighty mag
netic power, and the now happy par
ents are there to give evidence of her
previous terrible affliction, but
which today, through the wondrous
power possessed by the Boy Phenom
enon, is now only a memory of the
past. The father's gratitude is con
tained m tbe louowing signed state
ment:
To the Public: I have not words
to express our gratitude for the mar
velous change in our daughter's con
dition. Last Sunday I took her
walking, three miles. She now sleeps
like a babe. Can go up stairs with
ease and runs and plays like other
children, all of which was impossible
before her treatment. I consider the
Boy Phenomenon has wrought a
miracle in her case.
ALOJJZO TBIfeCH.
Those who are sick and wish pri
vate treatment, and have hesitated
about calling, either because they
feared he would not be here long
enough to effect a cure, or because
they thought the cures were not last
ing, or for any ofber reason, should
avail themselves of this health-giving-magnetism
while It can be ob
tained right here in your own city.
You may never have such a chance
again to be cured, absolutely and
permanently cured, of any chronic
ailment you may be suffering with.
While he has been compelled to
prolong his stay here another week
because of the many cures already
performed, those who wish his ser
vices must call at their earliest op
portunity, as only a certain number
of cases will be accepted. Those
who have been examined, are espec
ially invited to return and fake ad

which are now within reach of all.

Intimate acquaintance, congeniality
of tastes and purposes, respect, admi
ration, material and social advancement-
all these may appeal at a time
to the young woman or the young man
as furnishing the possible material for
a prosperous venture into matrimony.
But to those of us who are on this side
of the married life, with years of ex
perience to give us Insight, there never
was a greater fallacy. Respect and ad
miration may do for friendship: mar
riage absolutely demands love. You
remember that when the Apostle Peter
sums up the qualities thafc go to make
the perfect Christian character he does
not begin by urging the necessity of
faith. He assumes its existence at the
start. He says, "Add to your .faith
virtue, and to virtue knowledge." It is
.as If he would have us know that faith
Is not to be regarded simply as an
adornment o .the Christian character.
It is a prerequisite. It Is the atmos
phere in which the Christian life has
its breath and being. So it Is with love
when the time comes to settle the
gravest question of life. Pittsburg

In the devising of sailor styles a
givat many things have to be consid
ered. There, is your tall, tlilii woman,
who doesn't top off with the same
straw dty piece that would adorn
a stout and briefer sister. Ulie women
with the bulging brows have to be re
garded, too, in these days of advanced
femininity. Then there are tho moon
faced girl and her hatchet faced oppo
site, the woman with th.s long nose,
and her friend with the square jaw.
Miss l'ert with retrousse proboscis

headed and s-qnaro headed girls all

Add to this the consideration of sall
ow for yachting, goltiug, sailiug, walk
ing, and the possibilities of Variety be
come impressive. Then there is rougli
aud smooth colored material to work
U. with quality regulating- price to be
considered. That about exhausts the
subject from the manufacturers'
standpoint. Every woman thinks she
knows just the style of sailor hat that
will suit her best. Sometimes she
iloe.s not always.

Dou't throw away the trimmings

With them you can prolong Its span of

THE STANDARD YARDSTICK.
Year of Study iind Experiments
Were .Vcctuarj- tu Produce It.
"People who handle the yardstick
have but little idea of the years of
study and experiments that were nec
essary to secure the standard yard
measure," observed an official of the
coast survey.
"Bird, a famous scientist, made the
first standard yard in 1700, but the
English government did not legalize it
until 1824. Ten years afterward.
When the house of parliament in Lon
don was .destroyed -by fire, the stand
ard yard was lost, and England was
again without -a standard yard of
length. Sheepshanks next made a
standard measure, which the English
government adopted, and, so that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
of it One of these was deposited in
the royal mint, another in the Uoyal
society, another In tho observatory at
Greenwich, and the fourth was im
bedded in the walls of the new house
of parliament
"The standard yard measures which
are owued by tho government are cop
ies of tho original, one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The Unit
ed States naval observatory has .one
also. The- delicacy of its construction
may beKathered by the" fact that a
change of temperature of one-hundredth
of a degree of Fahrenheit has '
"been found to produce a sensible effect j
on tbe length of the bar.
"The copies of tbe standard are I
made ot bronze, for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal.
"The cost of the construction of the
original standard vard measure in
volved the labors of Bird and his as-j Bill
slstants for nearly six years. Sheep- right?
banks was 11 years in producing the
accurate copies which be made from
Bird's original measurements." Wash

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS.
It's the Man, Xot the Job There Arc
Possibilities in Everything.
"We are forever going to begin work
In earnest tomorrow," said Mr, Stay -
bolt "and we are never satisfied with
the job we've got, and we perform the
labor Involved In It in only a half heart-
ed manner, but we are going to work
in dead earnest when we get a job to
suit us.,
"The fact Is that tomorrow, when we
get to It, will be to us as today Is to us
now; we shan't feel any more like
work. .And that other job, when we
come Iu actual contact with it and see
it close at hand, won't suit us any bet-
ter than the one we've got now does.
"The truth Is that we are dawdlers
and shy of work and trying to get
along justas easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and go at things.
"Tbetlme for us to work is now, not
tomorrow, and the job for us to collar
is the one we've got Round that up in
style, do the work completely and thor
oughly, and you'll be astonished to find
how you'll bring it out and what
chances there are In It And every
body that knows about yonr work or
Is In any way concerned or affected by
it. as it Is done well or ill, will be de
lighted to see it well done everybody
lilies to see a job, whatever it Is, well
done and pleased with -the doer, and
there's money in it every time.
"It isn't the job that makes success;
It's the .man, and don'tyou forget It"
New York Sun.
An KcltliiK Adventure.
I had au exciting adventure- while I
was engaged in superintending the
laying down of water pipes ill Queens
laud. After work was done for the
day I went up the surveyed course for
the pipes to see that It had been clear
ed for the digging of trenches next
day. The pipes, hugejrpn tubes two
feet in diameter, lay scattered about
I was alone, but suddenly I heard a
tremendous roar, and looking up saw
a great herd of cattle stampeding down
upon me. Delore l could get out of
their way they would be upon 'me, so
1 crawled Into one of tho pipes.
On came the thunder of thousands
of hoofs, and then a mass of roaring,
maddened cattle swept past my place
of refuge. Scores of them stumbled
o er the pipe iu which 1 lay, and those
which fell were trampled to death.
When' the herd had passed I crept
out aud found seven dead cattle about
the pipe Stray Stories.
