BITS OF PHILOSOPHY GLEANED FROM
PHILOSOPHERS
“The wine of life is the sense of pro
gress. ”
“As long as a man has hope, he can
bear anything, endure anything and
be happy. Take from him hope, and
bis heart is dead Iwfore his body dies.’
“Progress, in the sense of acquisition,
Is something: but progress in the sense
of being, is a great deal more. To
grow higher, deeper, wider, as the years
goon; to conquer difficulties, and ac
quire more and more power; to feel all
one’s faculties unfolding, and truth de
fending into the soul, this makes
life worth living.
“We grow only when we become
mure and more ourselves, our liest
selves, our truest selves, selves that God
made ns to be. We do not grow when
we try to be like this man or that, to
strive for this man’s wit or that mans
scope, to become like this saint or that
genius. The rose grows when it nn
folds into a rose, not when it tries to
become any other shrub or flower. The
palms springs erect to heaven, and
grows up a palm; the vine creeps, and
hangs, and swings in the air, and pours
fragrance on the breezes, and grows
into a vine. Thus God has made each
of us to lie something, to have a real
place, and do a real work in this world,
and that onr own work, which no one
else can do."
“Genius itself is nothing but an ini
mense power of work. It is not the pow
er of imn oming one’s selfin work, but
making it all play and joy by the
quantity of life put into it.’
Divvies trip to New York proved a
failure in all resjiects
Tin; editors are a sober set, two cases
of beer that accompanied them on the
trip returned home almost untouched.
Will UK Wisconsin played much the
better game at the Chicago Wisconsin
football contest, Eckersall’s kicking
won the day for Chicago by a score of
15 to fi. He kicked three goals from
the field.
Tmk Editors expect to visit the St.
Louis Exposition eu masse the coming
year. The date has not been fixed but
it is expected the trip will take place
some time in June.
Admiral Schley for president is the
cry of the democrats in Washington
and Virginia he being much more
popular than Teddy for whom the east
has little admiration
Panama has started a little revolu
tion desiring to secede from the 1 S.
of Columbia. This is the outcome of
Columbia failing to ratify the Panama
canal treaty. The canal would be ol
great value to Panama and the little
country is very anxious to g-t it
What the result will be is hard to tell.
What liquor can do was shown at
(.looney island when two drunken
waiters set a fire which destroyed 11
blocks of buildings and caused the loss
of a life It is a fact that with the reduc
tion of labor on railroads the accident*
are increasing. It is too bad that for
a few paltry dollars, human lives should
be sacrificed.
The report of Postmaster Bristow is
to be withheld from the public because
its publishing might give valuable
matter to the attorneys of the guilty
parties. So the republicans say sound
nice but we believe it is withheld is
cause it might give valuable points to
democratic uewspais-rs. Think aismt
it.. _
The idea of heating the new library
ny having the city tiremen take care of
the heating plants is out of the question
for several reasons. In the first place if
the firemen were to enter the other build
ing it would beau excuse to absent tin m
selves from their jsist of duty Secondly
if while tending to the furnace an alaim
would come in it would cans, delay in
the department responding. Ami third
ly it would c,aue neglect of the heating
during a fire. The best results can only
be obtained when both departments are
run seperate of each other.
Prof. Mommsen the eminent Ger
man historian died at Berlin as a result
of a stroke of appolexy suffered Thurs
day last. Mommsen has been held not
only the greatest historian but until
his death the greatest German living.
His influence in Germany and England
was greater than that of any man or
group of men. His death is a loss to
the world at large.
About the most pitiable sight that
one can see is when some nice, pure
young lady casts her lot with that of a
good for nothing “booze fighter”. Love
prompts her to sacrifice herself believ
ing that she can reform him, and he
accepts it, and ruins her entire life.
Such occasions recall the story of a
young lady marrying a man named
Pill whose history was very poor and
the minister said “Miss So and So will
yon take this Quinine Pill,” aye! they
generally prove bitter pills.
Postmaster General Payne asks fur
an appropriation of $199,000,000 for the
running of the postal department during
the next fiscal year. The laet appropri
ation was $153,000,000 and a shortage of
over $5,000,000 i reported. In a recent
conversation Mr. Payne said it in hardly
probable that the cost of running the
postal department can be reduced when
we consider that new rural routes are
laid out daily. These routes cost in on
average about fsoo each while the re
tnrnn front them do not average over
SIOO. The iKjat office earns about $150,-
000,000 and that with the appropriation
of congress bring* the cost of the depart
ment to about $300,000,000.
Last week Mrs. Booth Tucker the
wife of commander Booth Tucker of
the salvation army was killed in a rail
road wreck. Most people look upon
the salvation army as a body of cranks
and have little knowledge of their do
ings further than connecting them with
the beating of drums and singing of
hymns. And yet they are doing a
great deal of good, bringing many a
beam of sunshine into the slums of our
city and making respectable men and
women of hundreds that have fallen to
the lowest depths. One of their
methods has been to establish agricnl
tural colonies out of those saved from
the slums and it was while returning
from a tour of inspection of a flourish
ing colony in Colorado that ehe
met her sad end. They may be cranks
but a great deal of good often comes
from them and this woman has certain
ly lessened many a persons burden and
put hope in many a failing heart.

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Relieved and Cured.
“I have no hesitation in saying that Dr.
Miles’ Heart Cure is alt that one can wish It
to be. I was troubled with heart disewe for
fifteen years. I have tried many different
remedies but until I tried Dr. Mias’ Heart
Cure 1 could fi <i no relief. I was subject to
headaches and had tried your Pain Pills and
they were so effective 1 thought your Heart
Cure might help me. I would have attacks
at times so severe that I would be stone
blind for the time being. During these
spells I would be to all appearances dead (
1 look the medicine strictly as directed and I
can truthfully say that I am completely cur'd.
I advise all that are troubled with heart dis
ease to take Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure
at once. 1 write this and give my tame to
my fellow sufferers.”—S. E. Purdy, Atkinson,
Nebraska.
“I first felt the effects of a weak heart in
the fall of lßq6. I saw an advertisement in
the Sioux City paper in which a man stated
his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate
a trouble similar to mine. I had a soreness
in the chest at times, and in my shoulder, an
oppre-sive choking sensation in my throat
and suffered from weak and hungry spells.
I was truly frightened at my condition and
procured six bottles of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
Since taking my first bottle I have never
been bothered by any of the old disagree
able symptoms and now am well and con
sider my cure permanent." — Anderson,

the editors no more daunted than if the
office cat had upset the inkwell. The
ti ip took them through Indiana and Ohio
where at the little town of Tiffiin supper
was served at 7 oclock. From here the
different parties soon retired to the vari
ous c<s>p-t fissigned them in the sleepers
and the train entered upon the twautiful
scenery of the Alleghany mountains, the
party a riving at Grafton, West Virgin a
early Monday learning. Engines were
changed and the journey continued
through the vast coal fields of WestVir
glnia, up and down the mountains we
went and stopped a* 10 u’c'ock at Cum
berland, Maryland, where lunch was
served. At Cumberland we got the first
glimpse of the famous Potomac, winding
in and out between the mountains and
reflecting them in all their various shapes
and colors in its quiet waters below.
Here we also met with the old Cumber
land Washington canal which runs par
allel to the river all the way from Cum
berland to the capitol, and was built to
supply Washington and seaport towns
with coal, ('nmberland being in the cen
ter of the coal regions and the coal trails
ported from there to Washington in canal
boats. The canal, while largely dis
placed by railroads, is still in condition
and canal Isiats were encountered all
along the line. The Baltimore and <)hio

finally was the victor, and today hauls
from I Vt() to Iko car loads of coal every
day of the year. Over this line the first
cars were haulded by mules and sails bu l
finally replaced by steam in IHKt. The
route of the B. it O. is said to lie the
most beautiful for scenery throughout
the entire east and as far as the Wiscon
sin Press is concerned they certainly
found it so. Soon after leaving (lumber
land the party stopped at Har|s>r's Ferry
which the erractlc John Brown made
famous The old blacksmith shop that
served as Brown’s fort is gone having
been wrecked on its return from Chicago
in I hub and carried off as souvenirs by
the ever hustling natives of Ohio, but a
monument and tablets are mounted at
spot as a tribute to the man that started
the civil war. The old town is as quaint
as before the war. not anew building

the trip w*s through the sunny south

of our country, WashinKtou. Moat of
party were tired and were glad ii deed
when the street cars stopped in front of
Riggs house, which was the Wisconsin
Press Association headquarters during
the stay in Washington.
As our readers may easily imagine
Washington was taken in from end to
end by the visitors, but (he description
of the various points of interest would
make the tale too lengthy and will be
given as opportunity presents itself. But
one thing which we must not forget
was the receplion by the president of the
delegation. The reception was set for
13 o’clock Wednesday, long before that
time the ladies were arranged in their
best bib and tucker and had struggled
into a pair of new gloves [which have
since been carefully put away to pass to
their children and children's children]
while the gentlemen had completed their
toile' by an extra twist to the mustach-
At promptly 11:45 the delegation filed
under the leadership of Hod Taylor to
the White House and after having Ireen
carefully scrutinized by the secret service
men were admitted to the presence of
the head of the nation, and many were
surprised to find not a god nor monster
but just a simple man. The president
shook hands with all and said a few
word* to each and then the force of Wis
consin gathered and gave the Wisconsin
Univtrsty yell. This was evidently to
the president’s delight he saying that re
minded him of when he saw Wisconsin
rowing on the Hudson. The force then
went through the White House and back
to the hotel.
Tuesday was devoted to a f ri;> to Ar
lington, the National Cemetery, where
17,000 soldiers lie buried. This was
originally the old Lee homestead and
many famous men and women came
from it. After the war it was purchased
by the government and while the houses
and gardens are kept up as in the old
plantation time, the thousands of acres
have been dedicated as an sting place 1o
our soldiers and Uncle Sam offers every
soldier six feet of ground and will bear
the expense of laying him to rest amongst
his companions of the war. Many of
the heroes of the war like Stanton and
Sherida.. are also sleeping here waiting
for the judgment bugle. The plac i con
tains 5695 acres and is most beautifully
situated, forming one large park. One
hour was spent here and then the party
went to Mount Vernon, Washington’s
homestead. Washington was born about
50 miles from this place it being the
property of his half-brother, and Wash
ington came into possession on the death
of the former. The estate originally
contained HOW acres and of this 227 acres
with all the buildings and spots of in
terest were bought by an association of
ladies from 27 of the different states aud
everything restored as it was in the days
when Washington resided there. The
rooms are furnished as of old, largely
with the original furniture and a great
many relics are kept there all in the po
sition that they occupied when Washing
ton lived there. The room in which
Washington died as well as Mrs. Wash
ington's room are perfectly preserved.
The whole house and estate is kept up
and has the appearance as though the
inhabitants had just stepped out. The
old cottages where the negroes lived,
the stables, spinning house and gardens
may all be seen. The gardens in the
same outline as originally laid out by
the father of this country with his own
hands, and the old box wood hedge
which he planted is still there fresh and
green and vigorous although over 150
years old. Several trees of interest were
shown the visitors, some planted by
Washington himself and one that was
sent by Lafayette and then planted by
Washington. From the house a path
winds in and out among the trees near
the shore of the beautiful Potomac until
it comes to the family tomb whe e
Washington also hail been laid to red
until removed to the new tomb a slant
distame from there when the old
one became unfit for use. The surround
ings of the whole estate are of such
a nature that a j erson must be dull in
deed who would not become inspired
after living in their midst. The ladies
society charge an admission fee 25c and
this has made the estate self supporting
and has accumilated a funu of several
thousand dollars, the ladies intending
eventually to open the gates to all.
From here we returned to Alexandria
the town that wan laid out according to
Washington's surveyings when but a
lad ot IH. Here in the masonic hall of
which he wan a member and a great
many of Washington’s relics among
othera the trowel used by him in laying
the corner atone of the national capitol
that having taken place under masonic
rituals. Here also ia the church which
Washington and Robert Lee attended
and their i*>wh are nt ill to be seen. We
were also shown the house from which
<General Hradock led his force on that
disastrous exjs'ditioii to Fort Ducjuesne,
here Washington received his commis
sion and here, so the story goes, he pro
posed to a young lady who would not
have him (and later on maybe she was
sorry). Late that evening the editorial
people weary and fisit sore, but well
pleased with the days program, returned
to the hotel.
The day thereafter they took the
steamer Washington of the Norfolk and
Old Point Comfert line to Old Point
when* thoy landed earlv the next morn
ing. From there the street cars trails
fered them to Newport News where a
large ship building plant is iocabsl. The

What to Do.
There is comfort la. the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. If corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

company is putting on the finishing
touches to the battleship Missouri and
has at present 50 million dollars worth
of government work in contract besides
a great deal of private work. The yard
employs about 7000 men. The guide
very courteously offered the ladies boiler
plates as souvenirs but they did not avail
themselves of the offer. The confederate
veterans of tne state of Virginia ht and an
encampment at Newport News and we
were fortunate enough to witness it.
The Wisconsin yell delighted them to
such an extent that an invitation fi r
dinner was with difficulty declined and
the southern band serenaded the party
with that good old song “Dixie’ which
brought cheers from north and south
alike. The whole town was decorated
with the old southern flag and bunting
with here and there a union flag, show,
ing that southern feeling is still not ex
tinct.
From Newport News the street car
company took the party to Hampton
where the Hampton institute for the
education of negroes is located. The in
stitute has at present about 1200 students
giving them thorough courses in farm
ing, wagonmaking, raising of poultry,
shoe aud harness manufacturing and a
course for training blacksmiths is also
furnished. The girls receiving instruc
tion in sewing and making baskets-
These institutes seems to be the most
reasonable solving of the negro question.
Athe negro becomes educated and earns
his own living the objections to him
vanish rapidly. Booker T. Washington
is a graduate of this institute and a
number of his teachers are graduates
from Hampton. The institution is a
private school, managed by a board of
trustees and receiving the means of
maintenance from sale of manufactured
articles, proceeds of concert tours and
voluntary contribution aud any one a.--
Misting these institutions is surely doing
great service to mankind. Before leav
pig a quartette sang some of the old
plantation songs and the beautiful music
caused the audience to almost stop
breathing to hear every bit of it.
From her# the party went to fortress
Monroe and saw the strongest and birg
est fort of the United Stales. The fort
has a protection of earthera breastworks
and these being surrounded by a moat
tilled with water. This is Mrther pro
tected by large machine guns placed in
the woods several miles below the fort.
The fort is garrisoned with a regiment of
a thousand soldiers. This fort was the
place where Jefferson Davis the southern
president wits confined aud the cell where
he was kept in irons, to the shame of hit
captors, was pointed out to the visitors.
After that dinner was taken with a
relish at hotel Chamberlain the most
famous winter resort on the coast aud
thereafter a steamer conveyed the party
to Norfolk.
