The Times-Union has received the fol lowing, with a rtQiest that it be given prominence by paper using the United Asssociated Press leiVice Cedar Keys. Fla., October 5. 1898. The rain and devastation wrought by the late hurricane has assarted such proportions, that tbe citizens of Cedar Keys fiad themselves unable to cope with tbe conditions confronting; them, and they are forced . to aslc aid from the more fortunate sections to relieve some of the suffering and distress now existing and that will certainly 'become greater as the stores on hand become exhausted. A meeting of citizens was held on Sunday evening at the Episcopal Charcb, and after a ditcussioa of the situation, a committee consisting of F. E Hale, W. D. Ftnlay son. J. B. Latterloh, R. M.

The following address was adopted, and ordered sent out for publication : " To the Public:. The storm of Sep- . tember 29th left the fair city of Cedar Key a scene of wreck and devastation; her business destroyed, her people im poverished; more than a score of lives were lost, and more than a hundred homes destroyed. Situated on an island,, cat off from communication with the world, with every source of employment 1 destroyed and every line of business . piralvzedr we find tbe burden greater than we can bear and, for the first time i in her existence. Cedar Key is forced to ask that charity which she has always so freely given. We have to feed the - hungry, clothe the naked and provide means by which Jb destitute people can be put in' toe way of making a living. Oar churches and school houses are destroyed, almost every business house more or less damaged, while many resi dences are destroyed and others dam aged. Tbe surviving dwellers on the small islands of the adjacent coast, where rainy lives have been lost and every house destroyed, will have no other source to look for help than to Cedar "Key, and aid must be given them. With these a-palling facts before as, we appeal to tbe citizsns of our , common country, aad s' :hac they respond promptly to the cail. Of the press, we ask that they give publicity to oar needs. Every dol lar sent to either of the undersigned will Dc judiciously expended, and all ex penditures at counted for to the public (Signed) F. E. Hale, W. D. Finlavson, J. B. Lutterloh, R. T.

An Eira:rdlriary Oat pout tog of People at ' Iadlanapalla The Crowd Estimated at Sixty Thousand People Three Bpeeehes atads at Different ' Points Great Gatherings at Other Plaoes. ' By Telegraph tolthe Morning Star. Louisville; Ky Oct. 8. Hon. Wm, I. Bryan and party arrived from Nash ville at 8 o'clock on a special train over theL.& N. Railroad. The party was met at Union station by Gov. Matthews, John G. Sbanklin, national committee man for Indiana; Parks Martin, chair man of the Democratic State Commit tee of Indiana, and others. The party was driven to the Louisville Hotel. wbere tbey took . breakfast. There was no crowd at the hotel to welcome Mr. Bryan, bat about fifty men were at the Fourteenth street sta tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad. where the party boarded a special train at 7.2S o'clock for a tour through Indi ana. fohn W. Tomlison. member of tbe National Democratic Advisory Com mittee for Alabama, accompanied the party. Tne Reception Committee from New Albany and Jefiersonvtlle were aboard, and at 7.80 o'clock the train crossed the Oaio river and stopped at Ninth and Springs streets in Jefferson- ville. A stand had been erected clcsa to the track and Mr.' Bryan spake for fifteen minutes to 2 500 people. The stand sagged twice, and Mr. Bryan stopped Ions? enoueb for part of tbe crowd to get off of it. When Mr. Bryan finished the speaker proceeded to New Albany, five miles away. , -. . - Indianapolis. October 6. The Brvan meeting at New Albany this morning had a decided silver audience. Four silver horses drew the carriages that took Mr. Bryan from the station, where his special train arrived at 8 10, through Silver s-.rect to Silver Grove, the place of the meeting, a few blocks distant. An audience unusually large for that hour of the morning was as sembled there. It numbered between 600 and 1.000. who were assembled around ther sides of a natural ampbi theater,' from the center of which Mr. Brvan sooke. Fifteen white roses, rep- resentine the fifteen electoral votes of Indiana, were presented to Mr. Bryan by "The lady clerks of the New Albany Dostoffice. It was raining when Mr. Bryan reach ed Sellersburg at 9 o'clock. Hats of gol den hue were conspicuous among the crowd of 1.000. and a number wore bushes of eolden rod. Scotchburg also turned oat a good sized crowd and Mr. Brvan talked again At Crothersville Mr. Bryan showed himself on the platform and told the Deo ole he was ready but did not have time to make a speech. Ex-Concresman Tason B. Brown pre seated Mr. Brvan to an audience of 4.000 or 5.000 assembled in tbe City Park at Seymour, reached by the In diana committee's special, train at 10 15 a m. Here Mr. Bryan maae a nve- minute SDeech. Tbree bands played lustily as tbe Democratic candidate stepped off the train with Gov. Matthews at Columbus at 11.15 a. m. Columbus and tbe sur rounding country furnished an audience estimated at between o.uuu ana lu.uw. It was gathered in the rain in a spacious ooen lot adiacent to tne rauroaa station Mr. Brvan was introduced by David Emiz. chairman of the Bartholomew Democratic committee. At EdinburgMr. Bryan said a lew words to aootirHreSpieTfHog4- ered around the train. He had a large audience at Franklin, the last stop be fore Indianapolis was reached, at 1205 p. m. It numbered in tbe neighborhood of 5.000 people, who were massed closely around tbe speaker's platform, near the track. Judge Woolen introduced Mr. Bryan, who made a brief address, in which he cited the annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture, Hon. Jeremiah Rusk, for 1890, to show that under favorable legislation silver rose and that the prices of products rose with silver. Mr. Bryan, accompanied by Governor Matthews and other prominent Indian ans, reached Iadianapolis at 1.15 o'clock this afternoon. - - Indianapolis exceeded the most san guine expectations of the local and State sapporters of Bryan in the series of remarkable demonstrations given the Chicago nominee to-day. The outpour ing of people was extraordinary. From the time Mr. Bryan reached this" city early in the afternoon until he concluded bis last address to-night be was tbe cen ter of the greatest enthusiasm, indulged in by countless thousands. The committee in charge of tbe ar rangements gave Mr. Bryan a chance to test his physical ability to its utmost, for it had provided for not less than tour speeches by the cindidate In virious parts of Indianapolis. The first meeting was at tbe State House. This took place at 8 o'clock, and was followed by another big politi cal demonstration in front of Tomlinson HalL Mr. Bryan begged off from mak ing a third afternoon address, as ; ar ranged by tbe committee, compromising by promising to give to speeches In stead of one in the evening.' ; Mr. Bryan's arrival from Louisville was tbe signal for tbe beginning of the continued ovation. Excursionists from along the lines of railroad helped to swell the crowds on the streets along the line of his progress from Meridian street, where be left tbe train, to the Grand Hotel, his abiding place while here. Tbe Bryan and Sewall Travelling Men's Club and many other clubs were in tbe procession. The Cleveland Club of Indianapolis acted as Mr. Bryan's personal escort, and marched through out the day, beside tbe carriage in which he sat with Gov. Matthews, Mayor Taggart and John W. Tomlinson of Alabama, a member of the National Democratic advisory committee, who will accompany Mr. Bryan through the West.. Mr. Brf an was cheered almost continually along bis route to the hotel bv the thousands who thronged the streets and sidewalks. At 8 o"clock Mr. Bryan went to tbe State House again, under escort of the political organizations, and delivered an open air address there to an audience that was nearly, -if not quite equal to those he spoke, to at lxiumDus. u , and on Boston common, tbe banner crowds of his campaign. Another tremendous throng awaited him outside Tomlinson hall, where be spoke from tbe balcony at 4.80. To-night be addressed two more great gatherings, one inside ' and the other outside of Tomlinson hall. .There is no doubt that tbe number of people who heard bim here to-day exceeded by large tbe aggregate of his audiences in any other city since the campaign began. Estimates of the size of the crowd be fore which Mr. Bryan appeared at tbe State House so as eo.oou. A very con servative estimate is 85,000, The people were packed in a solid mass tightly wedged together, and movement was absolutely impossible. From the tem porary stand erected in tne state House yard Governor Matthews iniroauceaair, Bryan. A bedlam of enthusiasm broke forth from the gathering, and it was some time before Mr. Bryan could pro ceed. His speech was frequently Inter rupted bv wild cheering. , SHe said: "This city enjoys the unique distinction of being the birth place and tbe death-bed of a so called pirty (Great and prolonged cheering and and laughter.) It calls Itself the 'Na tional Democratic party,' wben it does not expect to carry a single county in the whole nation. (Cheers and laughter.) It calls itself a Democratic- party, when it was organized for the express purpose of electing a Republican candidate for President. (Great cbeenngj n it was big enough to justify a name-I would call it a stupendous fraud. - (Laughter. Bat it is too small to oe caitea stu pendous. (Laughter and cheers ) I will call it a transparent fraud. (Cheers.) It was the first political convention ever held in this country where the members of tbe convention nominated a ticket that they did not expect to vote for. and the first place where men nave received a nomination and don't want to be voted for. (Cheers and laughter.) The mi nority plank at Chicago opposed free coinage on the ground that it would in terfere with international b.metallism. rLauehter ) There c iuld be no clearer evidence of intended deception than is found in tbe fa:t that tbe miaority at Chicago, wben they bad things all their own sny, repudiated those planks they stood on there and came out in favor ol a gold standard instead' of international bimetallism. (uotinuea caeering.j "My friends, I am willing to meet an open enemy in aq open' ueia ana con cede to that enemy all tbe rights and privileges of open "warfare, but wben our opponents can tnemseives advo cates of sound money and wast to fasten upon us an unsound financial system, when thev c all themselves tbe advocates of honest money nad then deal dishonestly -with tbe American people, when tbey sty that they are members oi the uemocratiq party ana vet employ speakers and oceuiy say they are going to vote the Republican ticket, tbat party does not deserve to be treated like an open enemy in this cam paign. (Great cheering ) "My mends, l nave no criticism to make of any man who believes tbat the election of the Chicago ticket would de stroy this country and who iq thit be lief votes the Republican ticket; but. my friends, to find a man who wants to elect the Republican ticket and has not courage to bear tbe odium of advocating it, is an entirely different matter. (Ureat cheering). Give it to Bnum, cried a voice in the cheering. It you want to know what that dis tinguished citizen" contiued Mr. Bryant ('Extinguished, came irom the crowd). Mr. Bryan The gentleman suggest distinguished cttiz:n. (Great cheering and laughter.) Bat I will say dis tinguished, because be has a past. whether he has any future or not. (Laughter and cheering.) If you want to know what !he said about tbe gold standard let me read from his speeca in favor of silver in 1886: "Again tbe ad vocates of gold approach us with open hands and smiling countenances, but 1 fear with a dagger concealed beneath their coats." (Cheers). "Ah, my friends, he understood the nature of tbe animal berore he began to associate wiib it. (Cheers and laughter ) He is right in his declaration. Tne gold standard never fought an open fight. My friends, instead of saying now that we will adopt bimetallism ana anve other nations to it, he says that we will stand by the gold standard and allow other nations to drive it away from us. (Cbeeis and laughter ) I might quote to you what Mr. Bynum quoted in that speech from Mr. Ingalls. Now note the language quoted from Senator Ingalls." Mr. Bryan quoted several paragraphs from Mr. Ingalls beginning, No enduring fabric of national prosperity can be builded on gold," and followed tbe quotations with these remarks: "Those are the words of the distin guished Republican Senator, and those words are true. Gold is arrogant tyrannical in times of peace, and it de serts any nation in time of war, and never is a friend when a friend is needed. (Cheers.) And yet our oppo nents tr insisting that we shall main- -r7 3gold standard until foreigners come to oar relief' The rest of the speech was devoted to discussion of the silver question in lines familiar to readers of bis previous addjesses. When he was nearly through, the people in the audience called out: "Hit Bynum again," "give it to Cockran." The s x black horses that drew Mr. Bryan's carriage from tbe State House to Tomlinson ball cavorted in excite ment all along the way, as they passed the cheering people on the sidewalks. About 15,000 were in the audience there. They were quite as enthusiastic as the vast throng at the State House. Mr. Bryan spoke from the balcony of the hall. - Indianapolis, Oa. 6. Bjfore start ing out to make his night speeches Mr. Bryan was waited on by the- Bryan and Sewall Commercial Travellers' Club witb a request for a speech. He asked the members for a few mioutes to tbe Grand Hotel. His first speech to-night was from a stand in the Court House Park where 15,000 enthusiastic people were gathered. He spoke a few minutes only and then went to Tomlinson Hall to address a mass meeting of workingmen. -Six thou sand was the audience, packed, jimmed and huddled together. The cheering that greeted tbe candidate's entrance lasted sixteen minutes. Alonzo Mc Clelland, President cf the Cleveland Club presented Mr. Bryan with a cane made of tbe tips of buffalo boms and then introduced him to the assem blage which cheered some more. In . his brief address : Mr. Bryan complimented Gov. Matthews and spoke of bow deeply he had been touched by the loyalty, and devotion of candidates for the Presidential nomination. He urged noon his hearers the necessity of sup porting not only tbe National ticket, but also the free silver Congressional candidates, and not to neglect the fight in the selection of a United Statas Sen ator. " ' Mr. Bryan wUl leave here at 8 o'clock in the morning and will end his Indiana speech-making at Hammond, lad., where beTs due to-morrow night. The only delegation Mr. Brvan re ceived while la the city was one that called upon him at 10 o'clock this even ing after be bad gone to bed. It was composed of tbe candidates oh tbe Pop ulist State Committee.' He had con sented to see them because the Populist State ticket stands in tbe way of com plete fusion in Indiana. Mr. Bryan shcok bands with each one cf them and said tbat the work of fusion between the two great parties was begun at St. Louis and had been completed satislactority in every State wbere it was a matter of Importance except Indiana. While he did not know anything of tbe details of tbe situation in this State, he sincerely hoped tbat nothing ' would be permitted to stand in tbe way of complete unity and barmonv among the forces engaged in the battle of the peo ple against the gold standard policy, the- trusts, syndicates and money len ders of Wall street. The conference only lasted fifteen minutes, and Mr. Bryan was left to sleep, while the Pop ulists retired for a brief conference with Chairman Martin of the Sil ver Dsmocratic State Committee. They made Mr. Martin no further promises than that they would confer among themselves to-morrow, and then say definitely whether tbey would with draw tbe State ticket. - A cablegram received at the Navy De partment yesterday, announced the de parture of tbe cruisers Cincinnati and Bancroft from Gibraltar for Smyrna. 1,700 miles away and 150 from Constan tinop'e. - .- - CASTORW For Infants and.Childreuf . . n iBiia Sttaatars t1 HON. ARTHUR SEWALL. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE - DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE As the Candidate for tba Vies Prsaldenoy of the Demooratie Party. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Bath, Me., October 6. The follow ing is the letter of acceptance of Hon, Arthur Sswall, Democratic nominee for Vice President of the Uoited States : BATH, ME., Oct. 6, 1896. Hon. Stephen H. White, Chairman, and Members of the Notification Committee: Gentlemen I have the honor to ac cept writing, as I have already verbally done, the nomination tendered by you on behalf of tbe Democratic party as its candidate for V ce President of the United States. And in doing so 1 am glad to express my sitisfaction tint tbe platform of our party, which has com manded my life long allegiance, is hon estly and fully declaratory ot all its priv i eges. and especially of the absorbing financial issue, upon which, as you sav, I took my stand "when the hours of triumph seemed remote and when arro gant money changers throughout the world boas ed 'that tbe cot quest of the American masses was complete." These principles have been of late in abeyance only because those whom we trusted to maintain them have filled to do sothese principles never can die. We have rescued our party from those who under the influence of the money power have controlled and debased it. Oar mission is to now rescue from this same power and its alliances oar own beloved country. Th.s is the first and highest na y imposed by our party's platform. Upon the performance of this duty all other reforms nust wait. Tbe test of party principles is the government tbey assure; the proof of good government is a contented and happy people, and the supreme test of both, the ability to guide the country through a crisis as well as to administer tbe government in ordi nary times. Our people now face a crisis. A crisis more serious than any since the war. To what party shall they turn in their dire emergency. It is true that the present crisis may not involve all equally; that there are those who do not suffer now, and who may not suffer should the crisis threatened by the gold standard come on in all its fury. Human selfishness makes those deaf to appeals, but to these, fortunately, the Demociatic party has never needed to appeal to win the battles, nor does it now, save as there ere some among them who can rise superior to self in the sacrifice which such a crisis demands of of every patriot. We are told that the country has prospered under the pressot monetary standard ; that its wealth bas enormously increased. Granted. Bat in whose bands? In the hands of tbe toilers, the producers, the farmers, the miners, the fabr.citorsin the factory, the creators of the nation's wealth in peace, its defenders in war ? Have tbe pros perity which was theirs so late as even two years ago. I deny it. They deny it. None affirm it, save those whose in terest it js to do so, whose profits would diminish as prosperity returns to those on whose distress they thrive. All is indeed fright between capital and labor. The best money in the world. is none too goqd for those who have got it, but how is it witb the .90 per cent, of our people who have "got it to get?' How is it with those who must buy this "best money in tbe world" with the pro ducts of their own labor? These are tbe people for whom the Democratic party would legislate. What is the best for these ? is tbe question for all to ask who rea ly love this land. . How, also, can you increase labor's purchasing power but by increasing the price of labor's products ? Is it a fair measure to value that in our great producing sections, ten bushels of potatoes must be paid for $1, and 10 bushels 'of oats for $1, 6 bushels ot to.-n for a dollar, three bushels of wheat and all other product of tbe soil and tbe labor of all wage-earners at the same ratio? Dots any fair minded man say this is honest money tbat forces such an exchange, and if it is not a fair ex change, is it honest? Is it less than rob bery? This is the condition to which tbe sin gle gold standard has brought us. Under it. the appreciation of the best money in the. world has increased the wealth of- the rich, and for the same reason has increased tbe debt of tbe debtor. So, under toe present standard, it must continue to be. Witb these ob ject lessons about us, little need have we for history and statistics and tbe studies of scholars. Little satisfaction it is to us, that tbey have warned us long since of the deadly evil of the gold standard. It has brought us at last to the parting of the ways. Whither shall the people go ? In the way that has led to their enslavement or into that which offers them their only chance to regain individual liberty, last ing prosperity and happiness Let not our -opponents charge us With , creating class, distinctions. Nor do we raise a sectional issue. Tbe nomination you tender repels tbe charge. None know better than I tbat this nomi nation is meant as no' personal tribute, but as ah assurance tbat cur party is a non-aectional party. Not by our policy, but only by the continuance of the gold standard can sectionalism be -revived. Neither shall our opponents be permit ted to terrify tbe people by predictions tbat temporary disturbance or panic will come from the policy we propose. The American people will be loyal to the na tion's money, will stand behind it and maintain it at whatever value they them selves may put upon it. Once before In tbe present generation have our people been called upon to face a momentous crisis. Wbat, then, said Mr. Lincoln, the chosen leader of tbe plain people of the lanf ? Was he awed by threats or weak ened by the wily petsaasion of the false friends who, as to-day. plead for compro mise with wrong ? His answer is: ' It our sense of duty forbids this, then let ns stand by our duty fearlessly and effec tively.": Let us be diverted by none of these sophistical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and belabored, contrivances such as groping for middle ground between the right and tbe wrong, reversing the Divine rule and calling not tbe sinners but the righteous to repent ance; such as invocations to Washing toe, imploring men to say what Wash ington said and da what Washington did. Neither let us be driven from our duty by false accusations against us. Let us have faith tbat right makes might, and in that faith to the end dare to do our duty as we understand It. We know what tbe nature of tbe struggle is in which we are engaged, we are anxious only that the people of tbe land shall under stand it: then oar battle is won. Be hind the strong -entrenchment of tbe gold standard are gathered all those t favored classes it has fostered, the only dangerous classes of tbe land. Avarice and unholy greed are there, every trust and combination is there, every monop oly is there, led by the greatest monop oly of all, the monopoly of tbe power of gold. Witb us, in our atsault upon these entrenchment, are all those unselfish men who, not now suffering themselves. cannot rest content with conditions so fall of suffering for others, and that vast number of oar ' people who have been sacrificed to the small and selfish class who resist their attempts to regain their ancient right and lib eities. These are the patriots of 1896, the foes of a "dishonest dol lar" which enriches ten per cent, of our people to-rob the rest; the de fenders of the homes of the land, of public morals and public faitb, both of which alike forbid the payment of Government obligations in a coin costilier to those who have to-pay than that the contract calls for. - Tbe defenders of tbe honor of the nation whose most sacred charge is to care for the welfare of all its citi zens, the free and unlimited coinage of silver is the sole remedy with which to check the wrongs of to-day, to undo the ruin of the past : and fWonr Inspiration we have the jus tice of our cause and ,tnose cher ished orinciDles of Jefferson and Tackson which shall be our guide on our return to power. "Equal and exact iostice to all men ; absolute acaulescence in the decisions of tbe majority ; tbe vital principles of the republic, tbe honest payment of our debts, and the sacred preservation of the public faith.' ' ' : . Personally sensible of the high honor of the nomination you tender, I am, truly yours, Arthur Sewall. FLORIDA ELECTION. The Demosrats WUl Have a Majority of A boot Twenty Thotuacd Three Tick eta in the Yield Tjeatalatnre Jjargely Demooratie. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star. - Jacksonville, Fla., October 6 The election in Florida to-day passed off quietly, but the meagre returns so far received ind ci'e tbat a very light vote was cast. The election was held under the Australian ballot law. and reports show that Democrats. Republicans and Populists alike are dissatufied with it. Only very meagre returns are being re ceived, as the count is exceedingly slow, owing to 'the length of tbe bal lot. Official returns will not be in .until, to-morrow or next day, but estimates to-nigbt place tbe Demo crat c majority at over 20,000, but it may fall considerably below ' that figure. There were three complete State tickets in tbe field Democratic, Republican, and Populist the Prohibitionists had a candidate for Governor. It was tbe first time tbe Republicans bad a ticket in the field since 1888 The lightness of the vote is attributed to the new election laws and to tbe storms which swept tbe State. The Republicans will probably have fcur and tbe Populists six out of a total of 100. This Legislature electsa su cressor to United States Senator Call. It is not likelv tbat he will be returned, although a Silver Democrat will un doubtedly be chosen. REPUBLICAN GAINS la Town E!ea lo H-ld Teaterday in Nutmeg S ate.

Well cooked food Is essential to the growth and support of strong bodies and strong brains, and to the lack of it may undoubtedly be ascribed many of those mental and moral lapses as well as phys ical failures so often rated as unaccounta ble by superficial observers. In no coun try in the world Is such a variety of food to be obtained, and the best of it is within the reach of all olasses of people. But it comes as raw material and in the process of preparing it for the table it too often becomes transformed Into indigestible messes with, its nourishing qualities as nearly destroyed as possible. It is the very abundance and variety of the material at hand perhaps which have caused the uni versal neglect of culinary science. In other countries, where frugality must be. prac ticed, and many foods which are, native products here and comparatively inexpen sive are there Imported luxuries, much thought is given to the preparation of the daily fare. The result in France, for instance, is a skill in cookery which has made its home and public tables famous. Half the thought devoted by the Frenchwoman to her cuisine, if given by an American housewife, with her better opportunities, would work a revolution in the character of the fare set before her family, "with a corresponding benefit to its- health and spirits. There would bo no more pastry, half cooked cereals, no more "slock baked" bread, no more greasy fried steaks, no po tatoes soaked In fat, no sodden pastry, none of the numberless - abominations which have gone so far to make Americana a race of dyspeptics. It is not the poorer olasses either which suffer the most by these things, but tba well to do people, whose kitchens are turn ed over to the mercies of untrained cooks, rho are scarcely acquainted with the rudi ments of .their profession. It is well for the mistresses of such households to attend cooking classes and acquire at least a the oretical knowledge of the art, but It Is more Important that the cooks themselves shall have Instruction. Indianapolis Journal. - : The Welcome Gaeit. Who is her The man who calls on a woman when be is at his very best and who never stays too long. Oh, that mas culine visitors knew the peril that lies in an extra half hourt Almost every woman likes to entertain men at her own home and to receive the delicate compliment of a personal call, but unless two people have the same hobby or are engaged to be mar ried (or are about to be) any call tbat lasts over an hour is filled with dire threaten Ings. "X know two men," sighed a young woman to her best friend, "Who are both handsome, intelligent, courteous and alto gether delightful. One comes at odd in tervals and stays until 11 o'clook. Heighot Tha other arrives periodically, chats, laughs, tells tbe news and leaves In halt an hour. I shudder when the first comes and slab when the other goes." There are more things than letters that should be Just long enough to make tbe Mnfflnnt "wish there was more of it," and a call is not least among them. Phlladel DhlS) Beoord. .... - .' SABBATARIANISM IN SCOTLAND. Sunday Sightseeing Unpopular Is John ; Knox'a Land. ' . "John Knox In his spirit of Intolerance andcocksareneas stilt rales the common people of Scotland," comments a woman recently returned from abroad. "Stupidly overlooking that salient fact, I seized one bright Sunday afternoon on a suggestion to visit Cathcart castle ruin. Ton reool- loct the castle overlooked the battleneld ol Langside. From Its turret Marie Stuart Is, by an unfounded local tradition, re ported to have watched the rooting, of her forces, 'Flying hence fouwoor and twelve miles across the country without once pausing to alight, having only soar milk to drink and oatmeal to eat, with out bread, passing their nights with the "Langside, skirting Glasgow, Is today In part an attractive residential quarter, In part a public garden. Midway rises tbe Langside monument, the triumph of John Knox. The castle is distant perhaps IX miles. To reach It I made my way through fields recently devastated by newly cut, bare, muddy roiids. I passed a few scattered rows of artisans' cottages, smell- ilng of new-timber and fresh paint, and two venorablo kirks. Wben I had passed tbe seoond kirk, a tmaU wood obstructing made me doubt my bearings. " I inquired of an old man who was laboriously mak ing his way In an opposite direction. He, shaking bis bead forbiddingly, made no answer., ily question attracted a youth, who, though equally chary of words, pointed the path. Continuing my way,, I was surprised to see the old man turn about and follow. ; ' v "At tbe end of a lane ' I came upon a timeworn peasant's cottage, the garden sheltered on ono side by a castle walL As I entered the yard the chickens dispersed and .a collie watched me-, doubtfully. Through the open door came the droning of a sad, dyspeptic voice. My summons was answered by a child. ,'How may one pass into the castle ruinf ' The child stiff ened and drew dock as from something repellent. His blue eyes said plainly, 'An emissary of satan.' Tbe droning voice, witb strength born of righteous wratn, shouted, 'It im the Lord's day.' "As I left the yard the dog tugged at his chain and barked with rage; even the, chickens seemed to be cackling of my de pravity. Tbe old man, who had waited at tbe gate, walked away muttering, 'The seventh day is the Lord's.' "Shadowing my Imagination all the way home were two pictures, the first a woman's bead vpfn a salver marked 'Maria Begina Scotorum,' the second an old man dying in tranquil satisfaction, the girl of 16 whom at 69 be took to wife read ing at his command, 'I have glorified thee oh tbe earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.' " New York Times. x Gladness Comes X7itha better understanding' of the " transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi- -tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in. erder to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or Other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere,' Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most ceneral satisfaction.
