M. McIntosh, ' Editor Herald, Albany, Go. Dear Sir: Last year just before the Chautauqua, 1 wrote a little paragraph to be inserted in our local paper here, the exact language of which I <lo not now remember. Any way, I suggested that the managers of tlio Albany Chautauqua so arrange as to have the Albany barrooms'closed one day—the big day—that we might let our women and children go and not be uneasy about their return trip. There is a crowd of folks that fo over therb and fill, up and become a menace to all the passengers on the trains. Our local Methodist preacher told me (he was then editing the local paper) that you were very much dis pleased with ray paragraph, and, from the letter you wrote him, you seemed to think it was unfriendly to the Chau tauqua. When lie told me, I intended to write you a letter about It; but did not, and the matter was passed off and forgotten. Now the Chautauqua approaches again. We who have children who want to go to the Chautauqua are re minded that several white men were shot on the way home from the Chau tauqua last year by drunken men. Every boy in this country wants to go to the Chautauqua and most of the girls and a few men and \yomen. My special interest In it is that I have three boys that I have been let ting go several years. When I was well, I always went with them to try to take care of .them, but now that I am an invalid ahd unable to stand the jam, I am unable to go. I realize how you all are situated about this business. I presume that you have, to depend largely upon con tributions from the barroom men for funds to run tfie Chautauqua, and that they would bo very much put out if* you were to close them up a day when there was a crowd in town. The conllict arises between the peo ple on the outside and, the people on the inside of Albany. Which would be to your interest financially? I don’t know whether it would be to close the barrooms one day and let the people in the country know it, or to leavo them open to please the barkeepers. I have no doubt If It was generally known that the barrooms would be closed one day that there would be hundreds of people who don’t go, whe would go. We send our children forth with ap prehension and fear, knowing that, in all human probability, on the way back home, the cars will be full of drunken men with pistols, and the inoffensive fellow is'as liable to be killed as any body else. I presume it is too late to mention this now, and It may be always too late. But I, in common with many parents in this country, do wish that you would give us one day of safety for our women and children to go to the Chautauqua. This letter is not the result of any unkind feeling towards the Chautau- qua. There never has been a time (ex cept that year) that I did not spend my money to send my children to it. Last year I was an invalid and did not want to risk them off alone. I have got three boys that want to go this time, and I am not able to go with them, and I have got to let them goi I can only say, “God protect them until they get back home.” Do you remember how many men were shot on their way home last year from the Chautauqua by drunken men? / .

Your Summer Suit The Styles Spring Suits are either single or double breasted and broad shoulders; straight front; thirty-two or thirty- three inches in length. The materials in the suits are fancy worsteds, cheviots, cassimeres and serges. * Specially gray in all popular shades. Two Specials A steel hypodermic needle Is never inserted without leaving a permanent blue specie in the skin of the patient probably because of the, perhaps, very small quantity of impurity—rust or otherwise—which it contains: The gold needle invariably leaves ,110 mark whatever, says Leslie’s Weekly. , Ap preciating these facts, efforts, in which surgeons particularly have been inter ested, have been made for years to contrive a process for hardening gold so that it could be used for the blades of the instruments of surgery of all kinds. This is just what Dr. Vaughn, has accomplished after eighteen years of experimenting and research. His method consists of the employment of heat and chemicals; but the tempering process does not make an alloy of the precious metal. Pure gold tempered by this process remains pure; but the surgical instruments which Dr. Vauhn is now manufacturing, and which are beginning to be used extensively in hospitals and by practicing physicians and surgeons, are of 14 karats fine ness, these being as efficient, but not as costly, as instruments of the purest grade of the metal. Aside from its use in surgery, which is the feature of this new invention, which appeals first, the perfection of Dr. Vaughn’s process is of world-wide importance in many Weather. Forecast.
