Mukden, the capital ot Manchuria, and tha centre of the theatre of the war at present, is a sacred city in the eyes of the Chinese, and if io the whirlwind of war it should be overawept or de spoiled, the curse, and possibly the vengeance,of the Chinr.Bwould be upon the nation responsible for it Mukden is identified with all that is, glorious in the records of the Mflbchu Emperou, and the Manchu people, who have be-1 come bo intermingled with the Chinese that the veneration for the city it bared by all the inhabitants of North' ern China. In such sacred regard has this city been held that the Russian railway, which enters so many of the important cities of Manchuria, makes a wide de tour when it approaches Mukden, the most important of all. The Chinese railway from Shan-hai-Kwan, instead of being continued to Mukden, has as its terminus Sing min-Tung, a small and comparatively unimportant place thirty miles to the west of the capital. Why should the Russian surveyors who laid out the Central Chinese Railway and the British surveyors who planned the Imperial Chinese Railway have de liberately avoided the capital of this great territory, the wealthiest city in Manchuria, the most important market in the region, and the centre of an ever-growing trade? J. hey avoided it because they had to. The British capi talists who provided the money for the Chinese line wanted to continue it to Mukden, but China would not hear to it. Russia also found the Peking Government obstinate on this point. Ten years ago, when China had been beaten by Japan, and Russia bad step ped in to save her from having to pay the price of her defeat, China was trilling to give Russia about everything that was asked, but she insisted on making one reservation. Russia could have Port Arthur, she could build her railway through Manchuria, she could send troops to guard it, but she must promise not to go too near Mukden, The veneration of the Chinese for this city can perhaps hardly be realized by Western peoples. But in the Far East the veneration for the past, as ex pressed in the worship of ancestors, is actually an important part of religious belief, and for this reason Mukden is the most sacred city in the whole great Chinese Empire. It was there that in the year 1625 Nurhachi, the famous founder of that dynasty, established himself. It was there that the ances tors of the Mancbu Emperors were buried. . Mukden stands in the middle of a great alluvial plain, about 320 feet above the level of the sea. All the soil around it is rich and highly cultivated. It is reputed to have a population of 200,000, chiefly Chinese. The houses, both those of the Chinese mandarins and merchants and those of new Rus sian constructions, are built on a mag nificent scale. There is a "Forbidden City," in Mukden like the one in Peking, but while the Boxer outbreak of 1900 was followed by the entry of the alliesinto the hitherto mysterious palaces within the inner walls of Peking, so far as is known no European or American has ever penetrated into the Forbidden City of Mukden. It is believed to contain wonderful treasures of ancient art and buildings which surpass in beauty and elaborateness even those at Peking. Judging from the portions of the city which foreigners are allowed to see, the place must be a very treasure house of the ait of the old Chinese. Even ttte streets are full of carvings of a delicacy unattainable in modern work, while the tombs of the Emperors combine a purity design with an elaboration of detail which shows how far the art of Thousands have used this rsMible remedy with perfect confidence and success for 61 years, because they know just what it contains. The formula consists of Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, Dandelion Saraparilla, Gentian, Senna and Iodide of l'otassium. - Any doctor or drupU will tell you that this is a scientific and reliable combination of great merit lor all diseases having their origin in the Liver, Kidnevs or Wood. After years of experience and patient experiment, T!r. Thach'er so perfected the process of manufacture, that it never fails to bring the expected relief when taken according to directions. Thousands of sick ones to whom life has been a burden have written grate ful letters of thanks. SrsiD, Missnwim, Oct. IT, 1904.

Thscher Maidicine Co., China has deteriorated from the old standards. The city is surrounded by a great brick wall, with picturesque high towers at the eight gates and the anfles. Out side are the suburbs, inclosed by a mud walL while in the middle of the city are the ancient palaces of the Manchu Emperors inside a third, wall. The streets of Mukden are broad and straight. The early history of the warlike mon arch! whose chief city was Mukden, and who in the seventeenth century be came the rulers of the whole Chinese Empire, is veiled in legend. Three heaven-born maidens and a son born to one of them form the foundation of the story. This son was named Aisin Gioro, the Golden. It was Aisin Gioro who named his people Manchu, which means "pure." His descendants fell into obscurity until the middle of the sixteenth century when ,. Nurhachi, born in 1559, the seventh in descent from Aisin Gioro welded the Manchu tribes into one great kingdom. The Emperor Nurhachi, toward the close of his long and illustrious reign, trans ferred his capital to Mukden, and his tomb there is the most venerated of all the royal tombs of the city. In 1617 Nurhachi drew up a list of "seven hates" against the Chinese, and declared war on them. The Chinese were defeated with great slaughter and seventy citiej were captured. The war was followed by an alliance between the Manchus and the Chinese, who were then ruled over by the Ming Dynasty. In the end the Manchus were begged to save the country. They consented with great alacrity to send an army, and the result of it all was that in 1644 the grand-son of Nurhachi ascended the Dragon Throne without serious opposition on the part of the Chinese. He was Sun-Cui, the first of the Manchu dynasty, which has retain ed the throne of China ever since. A Romance of the Ball is often begun on the Lake Shore Rail way, and owing to the comfort and peace of mind afforded by the unex celled equipment which is enjoyed to the full by the parties most interested the romance usually has a most satis factory ending. Therefore, whenever, she travels see that your tickets read ' Via the Lake Shore." "To Bed With the Chickens' A mother was talking to her little children 'about going to bed early "Ted," she said earnestly, "you and Ethel ought to go to bed with the sun. The chickens go to bed with the sun "Yes, I know they do, mama," Ted replied; "but the old hen she always goes to bed with 'em." From Rnalaeerto Brakeman on a Lake Shore train the most rigid devotion to duty is demanded, and, to their credit be it said, is loyally given. This for the traveler means punctuality, safety and comfort, and it is these which have given this great trunk line its enviable popularity.

The recent desperate conflict in Manchuria havY shocked the moral sense of humane people everywhere, We will not say Christian, for we be lieve the feeling of horror and disap proval is not confined to those who call themselves Christians and are recog nized as such. We could only wish that the Cbristiaj people of our own America had the feeling of disapproval that ought to prevail as we witness the wholesale slaughter of thousands on both sides of that unhappy dispute. As is always the case, these victims, slain by the thousands, are, few of them, in any sense responsible for the awful work. War is usually a whole sale slaughter of men who scarcely know the cause of dispute, to settle the differences of a few selfish men. There have posSlbly been a few exceptions, but when the cause of war is traced to its last analysis, it is usually the case that innocent men fight to settle guilty, selfish men's disputes. It ought to be stopped. In this respect civilization has made less progress than in any other. There is a more excellent way possible, and we believe that Christian sentiment will, ere long, assert itself in promulgating the doctrine of a peace ful method of settling all international disputes. Referring to this the editor of the Central Methodist, in a strong editorial, says : "Where are the hearts of mankind that they can sit idly by during a great war like that now racing in the East and witness the terrible destruction of life, to say nothing cf the untold sor rows and woes that are heaped upon the heads of thousands and tens of thousands of innocent ones? It is time we were asserting the sacred ness and worth of humsn life. Let us cry out, Peace, peace! We must hav peace I "The nations of the earth ought surely to find a more humane and righteous way of deciding their differ ences than by war, a coarse, blunder ing, brutal relic of savagery, unfit longer to be perpetuated among the civilized nations of the present day. And we believe that many are coming o me it in that, the only true light. The recent Peace Congress in Boston, the general discussion of the advan tages of peace and the terriblenesB of war, in the various periodicals of the day. Peace Sundays in a number of our larger cities, and, above all, the frightful slaughter ot human life in the present war between Japan and Russia, are all bring the world to a realization of what war means, and begetting a determination in the minds of many of our greatest leaders in national affairs that war shall cease.

Returning to Btltimore after a tour of the South, which took him through 11 States, General Gill makes the same report that has been made recently by many visitors to that section that the South is prosperous beyond all record in the period since 1861. The good prices received for cotton explain the situation in part, but there are many other factors. The lumbering and mining interests now plsy a great part. Io tie line of manufacturing General Gill mentions the making of steel rails at Birmingham and adds that they are as good as the best. His observations were chiefly along the lines of the Southern Railway, but the briskness of agriculture and manufacturing along the lines of that system extends to otherlines as well. A Stamina Teal.

For the past five years tbe dividends of the Standard Oil Company have been averaging about forty five million dol lars a year. Ibis is almost hfty per cent, on its capitalization, a sum which, capitalized at five per cent., would give nine hundred million dollars. Besides, this gigantic trust allows an annual average of 6 77 per cent, for deficit and also carries always an ample re serve fund. John 1). Rockefeller gets one third of the profits. The World's Cotton. , Bales of cotton to the number of four teen million are annually produced in the entire world, and ot this amount the United States alone produces ten million five hundred thousand bales, or seventy-five per cent. In this coun try the consumption of American cot ton grew from two million two hundred and eighty-seven thousand bales in 1893 to three million nine hundred and eight thousand bales in 1903 and tbe in crease in its consumption since has been a great deal more rapid.

Judge Parker Uta written nothing during the campaign that it better than his address to "Tbe Democracy of the Nation" that is printed today. -There was dt way to avert party de feat and attempts to saddle the result upon this or that element of the party, but tend further to weaken the ranks of the only party through which tbe people can hope for relief. in isi'z it loonea line tne itepuDiican party had been annihilated. Their de feat was crushing. In ,1894 they won a victory greater than they won on Tuesday. If the Democrats of the country rightly read the lessons of Tuesday, history may repeat itself in their favor. Judge Parker points the way. The corrupt use of money contributed by monopolies menaces our country, and these illegal combinations "are absorb ing the wealth of the nation. The people will come to see this gigantic evil and will, not many years in the future, administer a defeat to the party of trust domination." In the hour of defeat no Democrat will lower his colors. He will "enlist for the war" and continue to fight the enemies of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none.'' And vic tory will come as sure as God reigns in the heavens.
