etc,, etc. It would take 'too much
srace to make 4 list - of the horrible
happenings in the greater New York
during the past ten days. Perhaps in
no other place of equal area on the
globe, except where war is, has there
been such a riot of violence. f - " '
Most;of this violence has been such
as no Uw8 and no police eould prevents
It is a result of the condition of mod
ern Bociety; it is the' tetter breaking out
on the diseased body. But it will pass:
mere 1 notnmg new m it; the body is
not slcH unto death; it will recover at
any rat, if it does not recover, it will
not die for a long time yet . j
Its chief physician, the Church, aavs
it will get well. It says this bravely, in
oe";c ici mat tne disease of its
pauenngrows year by year. In other
words thexnumber of peoplewho must
literally; be saved lest they perish not
merely in the other world, grows con
stantly J ! The more people, the more
paupers. The more people the more
criminals. :
. But what would the people do without
the churches? Last Sunday I attended
the -afternoon service at All Angels'
.Episcopal church ; up' town near River
side Drive. The service there is "high;"
I went there to hear the music, which
is er;tvcry Deaubiol. There i3 much J
ceremoy more than I ever saw before
in any Protestant church; the preacher
ha two or threo assistants and wears
very gorgeous rol.es, and sings every
word of! the service, after the Roman
(Ja their? fashion, the choir boys ro
eponding. Somehow I could not help
feeling f that there was probably more
dumb show than- real religion in that
cbbrch But at the close of the service
the preacher said: "There are many
'ppojr i4 our parish. I - have a list of
their name? and wbere they live, I
will give a copy of the: list' .to ekch of
you who will: take1" it. Next . Thursday

there wuld be Holy Communion on a
pertain "day, prayer meeting on such an
such a time; three services on Sunday,
and goipething for the chircb pepnle to
do pn almost every day in the week.
AS I Dttkaed out oflth.l
,3, . . . . , t penuuieai
devotedi ta the-inter sts of that church
and ital work "was handed me and I
found t a list of honest poor; people
tvfio wanted workand whom the church
recoin mended. All of which shows
that, back of all the form andceremony,
there 1? in this church a solid wall of
relicion which buttresses it and holds it
true and steady and makes it a rock of
refuge of the poor and the distressed.
Anq so jit is with most of the New York
churches I believe. Only the minority
goes to jbhurch in New York; but if the
minority did Hot go, if the churches
were tiirhcd into theatres',' and the sa
loon doprsfluhg. wide open, and the
Sabbath made' for man indeed as many
men would have it made, then would
the tettf r on the bod t politic soon grow
to hidedus leprosy, and the very fabric
of society would rot.! Undoubtedly the
force tbsat keeps N ew York out of , hell
is the fchurch and only the Church.
And it s a blessed thing for the poor
that it ? the rich rather than the poor
who'golto church, that it is fashionable
to go tol church; for it is in the church
that the rich learn of the poverty in
their mdst, and it is through the church

t The Uramophoue. ' ,
.Dr. Emile Berliner, a famous electri
cian, has recently invented a ( machine
for reproducing sounds which bids fair
to supplant the phonograph, On account
of its cheapness and durable records.
In an inferview with Dr. Berliner a cor
respondent of ' the Philadelphia Times
says of it: V
It is called the "gramophone" a
talking machine that goes a step be
yond the phonograph, fits records of
huma,n speech and,of music are indef
structible and can be cheaply multiplied
to an indefinite extent by simple me
chanical means. What it haa to say pr
sing can be heard all over an ordinary
sized house. So devoid of complexity
is its construction that the complete ap
paratus will cost only $18, and a smallei
edition intended for the use Of children
will be sold for $5. Gramophones are
to be pUced on the market within . a
short time. " ,
Phonographic cylinders are so fragile
that their preservation for any length of
time is very difficult. Even changes of
temperature will crack them and' make
them useless But the hard . rubber re
cords of the gramophone are more du
rable than the pyramids of Egypt.
They will last for thousands of years,
and will remain as perfect as ever. In
future centuries it will not be considered
strange to listen to the voice of people
wbo have been dead for a great length
of time.-- Gramophone records will be
kept in the library, and tne children
will amuse'theroselves by listening to
great. grandpapa' voice in 1905 and the
accents of greategrandmamnia in lyib
It seems by no weans impossible tnat
some day people will record their last
will and testaments by. gramophone, so
as to make dispute and expensive litiga
tion out of theiueetion.

spread o Socialistic - teaching, creates
international interest. Briefly told, the
case is as follows: ' -
Miss Edith Lanchester is the daughter
of a prosperou architect of good social
standmg. bne is twenty-four years old,
and well educated,
versjty. gbe alHO distiuguiahed berseK
in botony and zoology at the Birbeck
Institute. For the last five or six years
she has -been interested in Socialism,
and is now an active member of the
Social; ?Cc.rahe Federation. She
lhas an .independent income of $300 a
year, to which ehe aded by, working as
a teachee or clerk.5 For the last, two
years she has been on terms of intimate
acquaintance with a Socialist named
John Sullivan, who is described as much
inferior to Miss Lanchester in point of
education, in breeding, and in the
standing of his relations. They were
supposed to be engaged,, and Mis Lan
chester's father offered no objection to
their marriage. But Miss Lanchester
having adopted the antitinarriage prin
ciples proclaimed by the bocialists and
Anarchists, made known her intention
to cohabit with Sullivan without the
customary legal sanction of a union.
Then her relatives interfered,'and pro
cured her detention in a lunatic
asylum as ' a monomaniac.' Accord1
ing- to English law, any physi
cian -i; may commit a lunatic to
the care of an asylum, subject to the
approval Of the lunacy commissioners,
who must- give their decision within
seven' days. In Miss Lanchester's case
the commissioners failed to discover
proofs of insanitv, and she was prompt
ly released.

. THE TRUTH. -ABOUT SCHLATTER.
Atlanta Ctonstltutioii. - -
Since the departure of Francis Schlat
ter from . Denver the jjeople and the
newspayers- haVe ; greatly exaggerated
his alleged cures.
An expert who recently visited Den
ver gives an interesting review of the
healer and his work. Schlatter is not
a fraud. "He is a gentle monomaniac
wno beheves that he has the God-given
power of curing the sick bv the laying
u oi nis nanas. v
-After the ; newspapers bad brought
him into notice his persistent refusal to
accept . money increased the ;,: respect
which the people had for him,; And the
most prominent citizens of Denver be
lieved in him. Thousands visited ' him
and went away declaring that tbey were
cured, bht it is said that it ia impossi
ble to find a single case where all of, its
previous symptoms were definitely diag
nosed. There ia a . vagueness in the
description of all of them. There is
not an authenticated case of thecure of
any- chronic trouble. v :
According to a prominent physician,
the man -s harmlessly insane. ", Un
doubtedly .he cures diseases which are
the result of imagination, but he does
not benefit the j blind, the deaf and the
lame. Those who had faith in him
sometimes walked off without ' their
crutches, but in a short time they had
to resume mem. , This was only a form
or hypnotism. , Men who wore1 glasses
as a matter of habit and not because
they really needed them, gained confi
pence in their eyes through Schlatter's
Linfluence and went about their work
seeing as well as ever. Hundreds of
people imagine that they have various
diseases and this claea can be cured by
healers like Schlatter who turn the cur
rents of their imagination in another
direction. They wilL stay cured until
their imagination . eets. twisted again.
and .then thev will complain- of the re
turn of their old affliction, v l
Even when we accept these views, it
must ; be admitted' that the Denver
healer is a very' remarkable man. .' If
be has the power to ' cure imaginary
diseases, thSt is something well calcu
lated to excite wonder, for it is plain
that such a gift is by no- means com
mon and that one possessing it can do
muca good. . , -

Col. Bob Ingersoll waS
yictimized a
ew day 8 ago. in Missouri by
a pickpock-
et who took from the Colonel's pocket
f 2o0 in cash and a draft for $700.
The Richmond State takes advantage
of this incident to score a nleat point on
the eloquent pagan. It asks: .
What will he say of this? He can
not blame the man, for if ingersoll's log
ic be ngnt, me man naa offended no
law, there being no standard by ' which
we can condemn the pickpocket since
he had a chance to get the money and
got it. There cannot be a moral law
unles it nas some great head, and as
Ingersoirs argument is that there is no
great head, a man has the right to be a
law unto himself. - -
Go for him again, silk finger. Pluck
him just after he has done one of his
high sounding talks and beauty and
while the cash is there in bis inside

We. agree with the -State that Colonel
Ingersoll 'is legimate prey of all the

they will not neglect him.

It is a pleasure to read in 1 the Samp
son Democrat the following in reply, to
the declaration of an unnamed newspa
per that Cleveland is a despot and a lot
of other horrid things:
','Wej merely wish to say in cordial
friendliness that m om opinion, Presi
dent Cleveland is in no sense a despot.
and that he would not be if he could,
and could not be if he would. His re
cent trip to Atlanta, j the cordial recep
tion he met there: and all along the
router of his passage through the-South.
Bhow the esteem in which he is held by
the Southern people free silver men
and sound monev men alike. He is
the President ; of all our people,' and
most the servant of that class which
unfortunately imagine him to be a cor
rupted and despotic master." f :
. It is amazing to see the ferocity with
which Cleveland is assailed bv Demo
crats who threw up their hats when he
was nominated in 1892 and who threw
them up again wben-he was elected
1 et veveiana is ; me , very ' same man
that all the country has r known him to
be since 1884. . In him there haa been
no variableness or- shadow of turning.
A long line'of public papers, letters, in
terviews and speeches, -all .perfectly
consistent m their declarations upon
public questions, estop any one who
would charge that :he . has deceived his
party or the people, and the charge is
not made. Yet former mends asperse
him as they do no Republican, in bliss
ful unconsciousness, apparently,', that
in doing so they make themselves rid
icaloug, i seeing that if anybody : has
changed it is not Cleveland but they,
.Yes, he is the President of all our
people," of none ' more thah those of
the South. He rests under the charge,
in the mouths of the Northern Repub
licans, that he is in sympathy with the
rebels and traitors, because he has been
so good to us; yet there can be found
Southern men, even Southern Demo
crats, who call him a despot and a tool
of Wall street. These will live to see
that they were right when they honored
him and wrong now when they dishon
or him. He is one President who will
not have to 'wait for history to vindicate
him if he can live so much as five years
longer, - --':'-g':-7

Concerning pythons the following iajM
true story . A young ; lady in this
country for a long time - resisted her
lover's entreaties to go out to India with
him as his wife. ; She had a horror of
the wild animals she believed she might
encounter there; especially serpents.
At length, however, after he had ued
a sort of ultimam , ah,e laanaented to
acco.rn.pany' him.. Sbe did not, howev
er, leave. her fears behind her, and lived
in constant terror of some day meeting
what she so intensely feared.;. Her hus
band did his best .to laugh her. fears
away, but without avail Then be re:

borhood of hjs ngalow,. -v "
Witbout 'ieiiing This wife anything
about it, he ordered the reptile to be
brought into the drawing room ' and
coiled up as if asleep on the hearthrug.
Then he went out and called his wife,
telling her to go into the drawing room,
and that he would : join her in a few
minutes. Soon after he heard 4 dread
ful scream. "That will cure iiber of
her fear of serpents," ho smiled to
himself.' and purposely delayed his'
entry. When, at last, he went into the
drawing room, he- saw his 'wife lying
on the floor, and coiled around her was
another huge python, the mate of the
one that lay dead on the hearth rug
- A Boy Himself One. '
- A consecrated minister was one Sab
bath riding to his country appointment.
As he rode along thinking on spiritual
things, he saw, a short distance before
him, near the road on which he was
traveling, a company of boys ahd dogs
having an exciting rabbit chase.
' 'Those - boys .5 are breaking ; the Sab
bath," he thought "I must reprove
them when I pass." ; '' 'i' '
The rabbit ran from one hiding place
to another and at last took refuige in a
pile of rails' beside the road. Every
one was on the alert, yet the minister,
who had now become much interested
in the chase, saw it had escaped their
vigilanceUnd was bounding swiftly away;
As he noted the situation., he i. shoaled
. 'There it goes, boys! ;There it goe!"
He suddenly remembered his good, in
tentions, and his - feelings are better
imagined than de3criled. Suffice if to
say that he did not reprove the boys.

Ifo Onp Nation Can. Maintain the Relative
j Vataes cf Two Metals.' ' '
Question.Can .. the United States
alone maintain bimetallism?
Answer. Na.
Question. Why not?
'Answer. Because no one nation in
the world can fix and maintain intema
tionaj values, and certainly none Can fix
and indefinitely mainrain the relative
values' of -any two metals. If we pnt ar
bitrary relative -values on gold and sil
ver, he one we valued below the plice'
fixed -by Bupply and demand , in the
world's markets would. seek other conn
tries,j vhere its values and purchasing
powepwonld be.greater, while the one
we valued above the 'market price would
remain with us and become the standard
of yaiuoby which' wo conduct our busi
ness. !f - ' .
'Question. Are you in favor of the
independent free coinage of silver bv
fth6 United States?
' Answer. No; for .. the reason that
that would infallibly mean silver mon
ometallism. "'
Question. Why so?
Answer. Because gold is worth 32
times as much as Eilver in the markets
of the .world, today. In oiLer words, an
ounce pf gold is worth as much as 82
ounces of silver, and the United States
cannot, change that, relative valuation
and permanently maintain such change
by simply passing a law that an ounce
of golj shall be worth 16 ounces of sil
ver and no more, and as one can obtain
in any of the markets of the world to
day mre than 80Q grain3 of standard
silver f or 25 8-10 -grains of. standard
gold pur passing a free coinage law that
any oije from any part of the world who
brings 41 2 grains of Etandard Mlver
to ourpnint shall receive $1,' which,, by
kw, hall pass current; the same as $1
containing 25 8.10 grains cf standard
gold, Irould -instantly cause gold to be
witJQdjawn from circulation, and 412
gramsjof si Jver would thus beconae the
standard by which the worth cf our dol
lar would be measured. -MeicliaDt"
