In view of the prevalence of grip in New York the health board has decided to take advantage of the holiday season to thoroughly cleanse and fumigate the public schools. "The abnormally Urge number of - children absent last week because of sickness," says the New York World, "was a cause of anxiety to the health board, and while it was not believed the school buildings were infected with grip germs, it was. thought best not to take any chances. Every class room in every school building in the five boroughs of the city will be fumigated. The rooms will be sealed up and quantities of sulphur burned in them. Liquid disinfec tants will also be used. Doctors ay that the effects of the epidemic are apparent," and that for weeks to come illness and death will re sults In fact, the result of grip is in many cases more , serious than the disease itself. Pneumonia, bronchial troubles, diphtheria, rheumatism, heart failure, even paralysis and consumption, follow an epidemic of grip. Many deaths have already been reported in New York from grip, and many have been reported from other causes which were from diseases which followed an attack of grip." The determination of the New York health board to fumigate the school buildings is a wise one and the example might' be followed with advantage in Baltimore. In connection with the grip, Mr. George T. Angell, of Boston, presi dent of the American Humane Ed ucation Society, makes a sugges tion which we give for what, it is worth, although our friends, the doctors, will probably greet it with derision. In a circular just issued he says: "It is a fact that when grip was prevailing as an epidemic largely in our city a few years age, I ascertained, by inquiry of my offi cere at a match factory, that of the forty-three persons employed there not one had . been troubled by it. I have at various-times told the press how many at Memphis, Tennessee (including the agents of the Howard Benevolent Associa tion), escaped the terrible epidemic of yellow fever there (as they claimed) by wearing powdered sul phur in their shoes also ;i the evi dence of a distinguished German medical writer, translated into English, that wearing sulphur in this way has proved a complete protection against cholera . and other epidemic diseases also that those working the sulphur mines of Italy escape . the malaria1 which prevails all about them also that' sulphur in the shoes has cured various cases of rheumatism also that sulphur taken internally or worn in the shoes has sufficient power to pass through the body, the clothing and the pocketbook, blackening the silver there. I find in the London Lancet that no" less authority than the president of the Institute of Civil Engineers of London-declares that the sulphur ous vapor produced by the combus tion of coal; in that city kills the disease germ in the atmosphere. It seems to me a duty, at this time4 to againi. suggest as widely as possible that sulphur is very cheap!, and whether it destroys or keeps': out germs of disease from the body, or only acts upon the imagination, it cannot do much harm to try it.. Halfa teaspoon ful of powdered sulpher in each shoe or stocking is considered to be sufficient.' As our readers know, we did our best last spring to put these facts (for the protection of Our soldiers) before our army and navy officials at Washington. We do hot know whether anything was done about the matter by our med ical officers there, but we have re ceived letters" from army officers and men that, with sulphur in the shoes, they had no fevers and also found the sulphur a complete pro tection against fleas. On this same December 22 we receive in a letter from Capt. Julius A. Palmer, of this city, the following: By the way, in view of your frequent recommendations of common sul phur, it came to my notice recently that on California ranches where walnuts are prepared for the market the shells are bleached by the use xf brimstone fumes, and that the men having charge" of that work are never touched by the grip, in fluenza or other epidemics which attack their fellow-laborers on the same eBtates.' " While it is not safe, as a rule, for persons to attempt to doctor themselves, and it is wiser to con sult physicians before taking sug gested remedies, the preventive adised by Mr. Angell is at least not likely to do much harm. If it does not kill the grip, it may, at least, keep off fleas, if one is in a neigh borhood where they are trouble some. If General Alger had worn some of it in his stockings during the recent war with Spain, perhaps his record now would not need so xnuch fumigation. Reputation and Characters When the Kentucky soldiers re turned to Louisville the other day Mr. Henry Watterson in his speech of welcome said of the command ing officer that if be had been at Kartoum his name would have spelled Gordon, at Obdurman, Kitchener, or as Solomon said, "Time and chance happeneth to them all." ! Every man makes his own char acter, but every man is not by any means the "architect of bis own fortune." The element of chance is to be taken into account, for it is often some special occasion that makes a man's reputation. Admiral Dewey was unknown to the American public twelve months ago. He is described at being a man of no pretensions, a man of modestv. and a man of so little , i assertiveness as that on one occa sion, so it 8 said, his friends were vexed with him because he had permitted himself to be imposed upon by the "authorities in Wash ington without showing resent ment. Had there been no war with Spain, Dewey would have moved along "in the even tenor of his way," would have discharged his duty, and in the course of time would have gone down to the grave, respected and beloved within his own little circle, but without repu tation, without fame. But the war with Spain came, and Dewey, against his protest it is said, was sent with his fleet to Manila. One day he went into the harbor and destroyed all the Spanish ships there, nor lost a single man. A little later Dewey's name was on every man's tongue, and he was known .not 'only all over the United States, but all over the civilized world, and was the hero of the age. Time and chance happened to Dewey that day and he turned it to good account. We would not detract from his glory, but there are other men in the navy who are obscure and who will remain in ob scurity forever;' any one of whom in Dewey's place would have given quite, as good an account of him self and he would . have been famous, while Dewey would have remained obscure. . We would not detract aught from the fame of Lieutenant Hob son. Bui it is a well-known fact that there were hundreds of young men in the navy who were anxious to sink the Merrimac, and if for tune had favored any one of them, he would; nave been famous while Hobson would have been denied the honor. Time and chance hap-! pened to Hobson in the early morn ing at Santiago, and Hobson im proved his opportunity to do a gallant act and to write his name among the heroes of the century.! But there is nothing discourag ing in all this to the man who: esteems character a greater thing than reputation. Character is not made by accident. It is made by careful cultivation, by self denial and by everlasting training. Dewey was just as great, just as noble, just as fine a character be fore he fought the battle at Manila as afterwards. Character is worth more than reputation for reputa tion is temporary, while character is eternal. Richmond Times. "The Man Who Never Slept" Dead. Millionaire Edward Bain, presi dent of the Bain Wagon Company, whose death is announced from Pasadena, Cal., was familiarly known as the "man who never slept," and it is, doubtful if another case like his existed. It is virtu ally a fact that for the last sixteen years he did not sleep an hour in his bed. i Constant; devotion to business was the cause of his sleeplessness, he having been known to remain in his factory, up to sixteen years ago, as late as 4 and 5 o'clock in the mornincr, and when he would seek rest he found it impossible to sieep. For the greater part of the last ten years it was his custom to take daily trips to Chicago to pass the time away in street car ridine and driving during the day, and at night he was always to be found either at a theatre or billiard hall, which .were the only places he was able to get a short nap, the music at the theatres and the clicking of billiard balls alone affording him short spells of reposeT He was born in Kinderhook, N. Y., seventy five years ago. j I believe the first test of a truly great man is bis humility. I do not mean by humility doubt of his own power or hesitation' in speak ing his opinions, but a right. under standing of the relation between what he can do and say, and the rest of the world's sayings and do ings. All great men not only know their business, but usually know that they know it; only they do not think any better of themselves on that account. John Buskin.

The happy event of the season was the celebrating of the marriage of the youngest daughter of .the late A. J. Trepsler, long associated with the First National Bank of Bryan. - - On December 14, 1898, at noon, a large assemblage of friends and relatives gathered at the spacious hone of Mrs. Emeiine R. Tressler, Lynn and Bryan streets, to witness the, marriage of her daughter, Em ma Louisa, a charming and cul tured young lady, whose purity and sweetness of character have won her the highest esteem, to Augustus Eugene Staley, from Baltimore, Maryland. i The floral decorations were , of palms, ferns, smilax, holly and cut flowers, arranged with artistic de signs, the prevailing hues being verdant and scarlet, most prettily shown on the pier glass, in front of which the solemn vows were to be made; giving to it all an idea of beauty and loveliness. L Promptly at 12 o'clock Mrs. F. W. Ingalls began the wedding march from Lohengrin. The groom entered the room and took his place, followed by the bride leaning on the arm of her brother, A. K. Tressler, of Chicago. The bridal toilet was of rich white Dutchess satin, entrain. A veil of tulle was worn, with brooch of pearls and diamonds. The flow ers carried were white roses. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. L. Tressler, Third Presbvterian church, Cincinnati, a relative of the bride, assisted by Dr. Doggett, of Bryan. The scene was a beauti f ul and impressive one, followed by a pleasant and happy reception, after which most delicious refresh ments, in varied courses, were served. The whole affair was sweetly and harmoniously arranged. The bride received many beautiful and valuable presents in silver, pearl and cut glass, and a bank check. The guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. McElhanie, of Toledo, Ohio; Miss Daisy Helwig, of 1 Kendal ville, Indiana ; Mrs. J. M. Webb and Miss Mary Chandler, of "West Unity, Ohio; A. R. Tress ler, of Chicago, Illinois; Mrs, J. 6. Parcher, of Toledo, Ohio, and Rev. M. L. Tressler, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Staley left on the afternoon train for Baltimore, their future home, where they are fol lowed by hostB of loving wishes and the (good thoughts of the many friends who are interested in the happy! pair. The Bryan, Ohio, Press. j - ' La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have just recovered from the sec ond attack of la grippe this year," says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I thins with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little overtwo days against ten days for the former attack. The second attack I am satis fied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy. as I had to go to bed in about six hours after ! being 'struck' with it, while, in the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting: 'down.'

He will undertake the work of rais ing and preparing for service un der the flag of the United States, vessels of Admiral Montijo, which were sunk in the battle of Manila Bay. An immense crowd was at the n dock to witness Hobson' s de parture. Before his departure Lieutenant Hobson drove to the park with Mayor Phelan, and there received a crowd of about 9,000 persons. He made a twenty-minutes' speech on the events of the recent war. In the course of his remarks he deprecated statements in regard to his kissing of women in different cities he has visited. "I have suffered deeply through printed reports of my actions," he said. "These reports are untrue. It is a fact' that I have kissed in public some of my relatives, and also children who have offered their rosy faces to me. But I can not express too strongly my feel ing at exaggerated accounts of my actions. I have thought of mak ing a formal statement concerning this matter, but. I fear that even this might, be misconstrued." San Francisco Dispatch, 25th. A cough is not like a fever. It does not have to run a course. Cure it quickly and effectually with One Min ute Cough Cure, the best remedy for all ago and for the most severe' cases. We recommend it because it's good. Howard Qardner. ; , !

The expenses of the war up to October 31 were $164,932,228, ex- elusive of the amount spent on army and navy j last year, j Up to June 30 next the total . outgo on account of the war and 'garrisons in our "coldnies" is estimated at $253,000,000. Excess of expendi ture above ordinary cost of the peace establishment marks the war expense. The Cleveland i "emer gency fund" of $50,000,000, the $200,000,000 raised by the war loan and the proceeds of the war taxes will, it is thought, meet the bills and leave an estimated surplus in June next. The cash balance at that date, including the gold re serve, is figured at over $280,000,- 000. War taxes cure the failure of the Dingley act and the monthly deficits are now growing very small. . i .
