MUSTACHES. What They Indicate To a Close Ob server of Character. Much has been said of late about tell ing character by the mouth. This is all right so far as it goes—that is, with the women, or with men who al ways wear a smooth face, but most men wear a mustache. The shape and size of the mustache may tell as much as the shape and size of the mouth. A man rarely hides a fine mouth. If he wears a mustache he does so be cause his first experiment proved to his own satisfaction that his mustache was worthy of preservation, but he trains it carefully so that it will not entirely hide any marks of beauty or strength. Women do not have all the vanity. There is a man who wears a heavy mustache to hide an ugly mouth or teeth, or to disguise his feelings. He is in the habit qf biding a sarcastic smile behind the drooping mustache. No dandy would he guilty of such a monstrous affair. His mustache must be fine and delicate, at least graceful, and readily trained into graceful little curls at the ends. If he is really fine in his nature the quality of the hair is silky and soft, easily curling, and perhaps even naturally wavy. An even-tempered disposition is indioated by the soft and well curved lips, showing beneath this mustache. The fierce, bristling mustache which hides nothing, but stands straight up. like stubble in a wheat field, shows an extremely harsh nature, bad tem per and general uncouthness. A man with a mustache constantly on the de fensive. as it were, like sentinels, is to be avoided. This is quite different from the long military mustache, with waxed ends, which is supposed to be quite fierce, but which is not so In fact. The mili tary is quite distinctive from the French fashion, which is also a waxed mustache, and is arranged with as much care as any other part of the toilet. As to colors, the same rule follows aB in the color of the hair. Black is the most intense in nature, blonde the least so, while the varying shades belong to as varied characteristics. The mixture of colors, such as a red mustache with dark brown hair, soft ens the disposition. An absolutely colorless hair often goes with a thin lipped mouth, which denotes obstinacy and lack of sympathy or feellDg. M Beat Lough Syrup. Tauten Good. Use 2 In time.

Removed From a Man by a Delicate Surgical Operation. The facts In a peculiar case of sur gery, in whioh a former Chicago base ball player figures, hps been made pub lic at Battle Creek, Mich. The patient Is Seth Stratton. His peculiarity is that he had two stomachs, and yet he was starving. Ever since childhood Stratton has been troubled with his stomach, suf fering excruciating pain at times. Some of the best physicians in the land have treated him. He finally submitted to an operation at the hos pital at Battle Creek. An examina tion on the operating table proved that he had two stomachs, but was approaching starvation through inabil ity to assimilate food. The object of the surgeons was to remove the sec ond and superfluous stomach and do away with the contraction of the eso phagus that prevented his getting food into either stomach. This was finally accomplished. Stratton's trouble had increased to such an extent that food had to be forced into his stomach. He grew thin, weak and pale, and the operation was all that saved his life after his case had been pronounced incurable. Recently Stratton had an X-ray photograph taken of his abdominal region, and it showed a formation on the esophagus, just above the dia phragm. It was found that since boy hood he had been the victim of the contraction of the esophagus, which grew worse and worse, until nothing could pass through it. The retentiQn of food above this place caused a dis tention of the esophagus, until the tubes proved its identity with the ma jor digestive organ by itself becoming a stomach. Every feature of the pri mary pouch was reproduced with the exception of the muscles. Stratton 1 is inspector for a Chicago gas com pany. He believes now he is in a fair way to recover.

When he called the other day, after return from the seaside, he told me he was gladder to see me than if he had caught a 6 pound trout!"— Chicago Tribune, CURRENT COMMENT. JTptom and Comment*, Political and Otherwise, on Matter* of Interest. By Andrew J. Palm. The old man Quay, who has been considered invincible until recently, ran up against a stone wall last winter in the legislature, and he seems tc have struck something equally solid in trying to break into the senate on the credentials furnished by Governor Stone. Every dog is said to have had his day, and it is to be hoped that Quay has had more days than will ever again be allotted to any corrupt po litical boss in this or any other coun try. What is amusing, even in connection with so deplorable a condition of af fairs. is the Republican method of showing our increased trade in the Philippines since we began on our Christianizing campaigns. The twc thousand air tight coffins in which to bring home our dead, the millions of money which we are obliged to send over to maintain our army, and the cost of the beer we have taught the nutives to drink are all solemnly fig ured in and the aggregate proudly re ferred to as one of the evidences of the great increase of exports under Mc- Kinleylsm. It is not ten years since the annual expenses of the government all told were less than $250,000,000. Mr. Mc- Kinley, in his schemes of "benevolent assimilation," and his alleged partner ship with the Almighty in following after "destiny," has raised the amount to $031,000,000. Who must pay it? Will the millionaire and the trust come forward and lay down the amount as a thank offering on Emperor McKln ley's altar? Not if they know them selves. They resist to the bitter end every effort to lax their easy gotten gains, and if by accident or design some court happens to decide a law to tax these gentlemen valid they sim ply add double the amount of the tax to their product and make the con sumer pay it to show him how foolish it was to attempt to tax gentlemen who have the ear of the national legislature, the ear of the courts and both ears of the executive of the country. President McKinley says that it was the providence of God that put us in possession of the Philip pines. When and to whom did the Almighty vouchsafe the information that $20,000,000 would be about the right figure to give Spain for her claim on these islands? When and to whom did He suggest that it would be the proper caper to send an army into the Filipinos' territory, lay waste their towns, shoot down their people and establish hundreds of rumholes, which will soon exterminate the Fili pino race, if any of it is left after it passes through Mr. McKinley's process of "benevolent assimilation?" If God came to Mr. McKinley in a dream by night, as He did to Joseph, and told him so many things that no sensible man believes, he should say so and put the responsibility where it belongs. McKinley stamps himself as an igno ramus or a hypocrite. God never made some human beings to be slaughtered and enslaved by others, nor does He give some of His people lands upon which they may support themselves, and then go into partnership with others to rob them of it by brute strength of bloody war. Commissioner of Pensions Evans soys that his bureau has on file 20,000 applications for pensions from those who had some part in the war with Spain. Of course those who went out were highly patriotic, men who were so "mashed" on their country that they could not possess their souls in peace at home caring for themselves or de pendent friends, but could find no rest until they went out to maintain the honor of the flag which, like charity, is made to cover a multitude of sins. Now more than half of these patriotic gentlemen who shared so actively in the war are willing, in the hope of get ting a paltry pension, to swear that they were disabled by bullet or disease. Genuine patriotism is all right, but that which passes as the pure article is a sentiment generally as wicked as it is foolish. The man who has no love for humanity can have but little genuine respect for his country, and the man who has a spark of regard for humanity will not rush out on the slightest excuse and want to kill some body. The common brand of patriot ism is highly tinctured with those bar barous instincts that led men to regard every man outside of his own tribe as an enemy to be killed on the slightest provocation. Wall street has long been supreme in our national government, and has dic tated the financial policy of every ad ministration for 50 years. It never succeeded, however, in having the single gold standard imposed absolute ly in the wording of the law, though their servile tools at the head of the treasury department served their pur pose just as well. But when the finan cial bill now before congress, the bill conceived and prepared last summer by money changers, and railroaded through the house with indecent haste becomes a law, Wall street will have succeeded in capturing the last finan cial citadel of the common people; the single gold standard, like Shylock's pound of flesh, will be nominated in the bond. Never have the people's representatives at the national capital been courageous enough to stand up and defy Wall street and enact legis lation in the interest of the rank and file, but neither have they, until now, had the brazen audacity or the cow ardly stupidity, whichever it may be, to stand up in spite ol all theirdeclara tions in favor of bimetallism, in the face of their platforms, national, state and county, for a generation, and fas ten in unmistakable language the sin gle gold standard on the country. Sen ators who have proclaimed bimetal lism from the housetops for a lifetime have fallen under the hypnotic influ ences of Wall street money changers, and announce themselves as willing to surrender the cause of the people. Mc- Kinley, though an outspoken, rampant bimetal list but a few short years ago, will sign the bill, if he gets the chance, asking God's blessing on this another act in the destiny of providence, for any man who can ask God to smile on the slaughter of an innocent people, struggling for freedom, can sign a single gold standard act and imagine, like Paul when he killed the sainte, that he is doing God's service, M'KINLEY SCORED. r.::v. DR. IWAI.LOW GOER AFTER HIM WITH HOT TONGS.. The Flghllni Parson A**all* the President For Wlnr Blbblav, and Put* Method tat Bishop* In a Deep Hole. When Dr. Silas C. Swallow gets af ter a case of wrong doing he makes It exceedingly lively for the subject of his remarks, SB several Pennsylvania statesmen can bear witness. He asks the Methodist bishops some very per tlnent questions which they will not attempt to answer. As the doctor will likely be the next Prohibition candi date for president, It Is not likely that this will be the last time the bishops will heat from him. The doctor says: "The bishops of the Methodist church, backed by the general confer ence, its only law making body, have placed in their book of discipline the following utterance: " 'The word of God, the teaching of science and the lessons of experience all combing in declaring total ab stinence from Intoxicating beverages to be the duty of every Individual.' "The inference Is that a man who does not so abstain is not a Christian. We are prepared to call witnesses to prove William McKinley does not so abstain, hut drinks, mingles with drinkers In a social, unnecessary way, and puts the bottle to his neighbor's lips at his own table. Therefore. Will iam McKinley Is not a Christian. "Second—They say in their book of discipline: 'lt Is expected of all who continue In the church that they con tinue to evidence their desire of sal vation by avoiding'—many sins among them—'drunkenness, buying or selling spirituous liquors, or drinking them, unless In cases of extreme necessity.' "William McKinley encourages their sale by not preventing It In the army, at military posts, and In the nev. ly acquired territory, over all of which he has supreme control, and the encour agement has resulted in a holocaust of debauchery and death. He drinks Intoxicants with drinkers and drunk ards, and gives it to others. "Therefore, William McKlnleyshould not continue In the church. "The church law again says: " 'ln cases of .. using of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage .. let private re proof be given by the pastor or leader, and if there be an acknowledgment of the fault and proper humiliation, the person may he borne with. On a sec ond ofTense the pastor or leader may take one or two discreet members of the church. On a third offense let him be brought to trial, and If found guilty and there he no sign of real humilia tion, he shall be expelled.' "William McKinley has so offended, and the pastor of the Methodist church at Canton, 0., where William McKin ley. It Is said, holds his membership, or the Rev. Dr. Bristol, pastor of the Met ropolitan Methodist church, if his membership Is now held there, should so proceed, unless the law is made only for the poor and not for the rich, only for the plebeian and not for the hler arch. "The bishops say over their signa tures: 'The liquor traffic cannot be le galized without sin.' "William McKinley legalizes by per mitting It in the canteen. Therefore. William McKinley is a sinner, and willful sinners should not be retained in the church. "The book of discipline calls drink ing liquor as a beverage 'unchristian conduct.' William McKinley drinks it as a beverage; therefore, he Is guilty of 'unchristian conduct,' and one so guilty Is not a Christian. "William McKinley, when owning and receiving revenue from a saloon In Canton, 0., was continued a mem ber of the Methodist church. He was received with open arms by many of the bishops at the gonernl conference at Cleveland In May, 1896. where he was accorded a public reception. Many of them quietly, some of them openly, labored for his election. "The bishops as members of the mis sionary committee, held a meeting dur ing this month in Washington and were given a public reception at the White House by President McKinley. They afterwards appointed a commit tee to express their thanks to the president for Ills kindness, which was done in the following language, which was either voted upon by the mission ary committee, including the board of bishops, or reported to them by the committee, or, at least. If allowed by them to go uncontradicted, must be in terpreted as their sentiment: " 'We believe President McKinley to be actuated by lofty motives and hail him as a worthy successor of the illus trious men who have preceded him In the presidency. We greet and congrat ulate him on his able administration of our public affairs, both at home and abroad. And as a broad minded pa triot, as a Christian gentleman, us a devout husband, and a God fearing American statesman, may Heaven bless and preserve and guide him In the execution of his great office. Very respectfully, John F. Hurst, S. F. Hp ham, Thomas Bowman, James F. Rus ling, James M. Buckley, committee.' "Now, what 2,000,000 of the common people composing the rank and file of the Methodist church want to know Is: "Whether a man who fraternizes with the millionaire brewer Cox of Cincinnati, accepts the costly enter tainment of Greenhut of Chicago, drinks intoxicants again and again at public banquets and at his own table, protects the liquor traffic in the army canteen in the Philippines and in nls own saloon when he had'one in Can; ton, gives young men liquor to drink at his own table, and does it all In face of the protest of the Christian publle, ' In open violation of his church vows, ' and of the repeated avowals of the board of bishops In the quadrennial de liverances, as also of the general con ference as embodied In the law of the church, whether such a man is, in the language of the resolutions at the bishops' meeting, and signed by two bishops, 'a broad minded patriot, a Christian gentleman, a God-fearing American statesman?' "The bishops were wrong when they made the utterances still found in the book of discipline, or they are wrong now. Will they kindly tell the church which standard set up by them Is the right standard? We desire to be loyal 1 Methodist#. 8. C. SWALLOW." PUBLIC OPINION. Opinions Front Vnrlons Roarers an QqMliom of the Day. I would hate to see McKtnley de feated because of his foreign policy. I fear that he will be. This policy can not be sustained in morals, and Is In contravention to the declaration of in dependence and the teachings of the brave men who signed that document. —John Sherman. Robertß has as clear a right as had General Henderson, who was chosen speaker, to take the oath as a repre sentative and to take his seat. From there he could be dislodged and cast out by a majority of two-thirds, ac cording to the federal constitution, and in no other way could the constitution be satisfied. It is very dangerous busi ness, and a very demeaning business, for one of the houses of congress to destroy or even to bend under the in fluence of popular clamor the constitu tional protection of the rights of rep resentation.—-New York Sun (Rep.). A nation, nominally Christian, pro fessing to accept a divinely appointed mission to a benighted nation beyond the seas, and assuming that it has providentially been called to be the guardian of a people incapable of de veloping its own Christian civilization, uses, as its missionaries, beer and bul lets, not Bibles. The Christian church utters but feeble, if any, protest, and appears to be blind except to visions of military and political glory. My protest may he without force, but I place it on record. May God save our nation from itself, its own worst enemy.—Henry B. Metcalf. Consul Oscar F. Williams, who has recently returned from the Philippines, pay the savage Filipinos thi9 tribute: "The domestic life of the Filipinos is kind, happy and peaceful. They are simple in their ways and their fur niture is meager, but the men and wo men are affectionate and faithful, and they are cleanly in their habits per sonally, and in their homes. I have never been belrayed or cheated by the Filipinos since I have been there." He also says: "They have grown, out of their ignorance, to fear every white man, no matter what their national ity."—Springfield Republican. Mr. Roberts, the representative of Utah polygamy, will probably not get the seat in congresß to which he was elected, but the Memphis Commercial- Appeal points out that he might "seek an Island, become sultan of something, and ask for an increase of salary." There is a profound silence on the part of most of the machine newspa pers of the state regarding the expos ures of ballot box stuffing in this city. These crlmeß aro so widely regarded as a part of the machine system of politics that the Quay organs must keep quiet about them. —Philadelphia Press. Though the Spanish war was but a skirmish, as compared with the civil war, it has been thought necessary to raise almost us much revenue, and the expenditures for our military opera tions exceeded those of the early years of the civil war, threatening to last for years. There is no probable relief from war taxes, and if greater economy is not enforced either a new issue of bonds or higher taxation will be nec essary before the end of the McKin ley administration. The economic waste of war is one of its most marked features. Commercial prosperity may lead the people to submit for a time without protest, hut in the end the cost of imperialism and militarism will im press itself upon the masses of the people, who are the chief sufferers, since most of the rich corporations es cape the payment of the war taxes by shifting the burden to their patrons, who can only protest and pay.—Buffalo Courier. The English have held the enemy too cheap. They are not fighting savages in breech clouts. They are invading the country of a civilized people, who will never he conquered until they are crushed by an overwhelming force. The Boers are battling for their homes, for personal freedom, for relief from the tyrannous exactions of an alien country. It is a fight to the death with them, not a service for hire. Every man and boy in the ranks has the in spiration cf doing his duty, with the, godspeed of wife and mother to strengthen his courage. It will be no easy task to whip such a foe. No won der that the sympathy of the world should go out to this handful of brave people, and that every British defeat is welcomed as a proper visitation. Kruger has said that "the price would stagger humanity," and England is be ing brought to the sorrowful realiza tion that she must pay her share. — Philadelphia North American. On what grounds is Roberts to he excluded from the house of representa tives of the United States? Has he not ''attained to the age of 25 years?" Has he not "been seven years a citizen of the United Slates?" Is he not an In habitant of that state from which he was chosen? Was he not legally chosen in a legally conducted election? The answers to all these questions as to the constitutional requirements must be In the affirmative. Then the pro posal to refuse him his seat is a pro posal to defy the constitution of the United States, to refuse their political rights to the people of Utah. This Is a serious matter. No matter how worthy the people who advocate Buch a proposal, no matter how irreproach able their moral character, the nature of this proposal is not changed. It is, looked at In its most favorable light, a proposal to do evil that good may come, and the evil is a violation not only of the fundamental law ordained by the people of the United States, but also a violation of a fundamental prin ciple upon which our liberties rest— the principle of representative gov ernment. For such an assault there could be no Justification. —New York World. Millions of men and women join in a petition against allowing a man with three wives to sit In congress, yet not one of them think it worth while to protest against slaughtering a harm less, inoffensive people, or making treaties in which protection is guaran teed to slavery as well as polygamy. Popular sentiment is today as incon sistent and erratic as when hoßannas were sung to the Saviour one day and the clamor made to crucify Him the nazt, UN'S When in Doubt What to Buy...
