[0 AID THE CRIPPLED.
HOW THE AMERICAN BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION AIMS TO WORK.
Hopes to Establish State Institutions For
Their Relief—Plan Contemplates Head
guarters In Chicago, to Be Later Ex
tended Into Various States.
A new society is now being organized,
called the American Benevolent associa
tion. Its object is to establish a hospi
tal or hospitals for the treatment of
cripples, afterward assisting them to
find employment or homes. As there is
no place in the United States where in
digent cripples are specially treated,
Chicago has been suggested by many as
the best location for the headquarters
of the several state institutions which
the association hopes to establish.
There is no class of sufferers that the
public has so persistently neglected as
the cripple and noone who stands more
in need of sympathy and treatment.
Dr. H. R. Allen, founder of the Na
tional Surgical institution of Indiana
polis and organizer of the American
Benevolent association, has established
quarters on the sixth floor of the Ma
;’sx-nic temple, Chicago.
Dr. Allen, in an interview, said:
“Our plan is first to locate headquar
ters, or the parent institution, in Chi
ago. When this is completed, we hope
to establish branch institutions in each
tate capital, each legislature to appro
riate something toward the support of
its local hospital. **
Many charitable men and women
ave written indorsing the plan and
flering assistance to promote such work
b the several states in which they live.
“It is a mistake,’’ said Dr. Allen,
'to suppose, as many do, that ‘once a
ripple always a cripple,’ if one has
®n born in such a condition. It isa
revalent opinion that nothing can be
Oue after maturity is reached. It is
ften oversight or the neglect of a sim
le remedy on the part of the surgeon
hich produces deformities and leaves
¢ child without hope, unable to earn
18 living. What we want is a place
bere all may have the benefit of mod-
Etdlscoveries, appliances and treat
aly
An investigation was started during
esule.nn Harrison’s administration to
Cértaln how many cripples were liv
81n the United States. No thorough
stem was followed, but about 600,000
nes were obtained.
Many Prominent men, who are inter
ted in Philanthropio projects, have
Ven their indorsement to the idea of
!¢ Institutions for the treatment of
ppl»-s.' The prevailing idea seems to
that it 18 as much the duty of the

JIM AND JOHN, |
They Meet in Atlanta and Talk Over the
Campaign.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Congressman James M. Griggs and his
late opponent, Hon, John Sibley, of the
second and seventh districts, met in the
lobby and talked over their recent cam
paign.
They had a dozen joint debates and
they came out of the last one without|
any hard feelings. Yesterday they were
congratulating each other on the
tone of their debates, for it is unusual .
to see political opponeuts run a cam
paign of that kind and continue in per
fect good humor toward each other.
“Yes, it was a fair election,” said Mr.
Sibley. “I lost, but I have no complaint
to make about it.”
Mr. Sibley has been a candidate for
congress in two districts, the seventh and
second, within the last four years—and
heis a young man yet. As he lives
| within three miles of the boundary of
| the eleventh district it has been sug
gested that perhaps he might run against
Hon. W. G. Brantiey two vears hence.
Citizenship in a district is not necessary
qualification for a candidacy for con
gress,

A Missouri Bachelor Provides In His Will
For the Common Law Claimant.
The will of Charles Grandison Hop
kins was filed for probate in Kansas
City the other day. It devises some
$250,000 and contains this provision:
““I do solemnly declare that I am not
married ; also that I have no children.
I have noticed, however, the easiness
with which sworn testimony may be
procured and produced in support of the
claims of such alleged persons. I there
fore make express provision in this my
last will as follows:
‘I give and bequeath to such person
or persons as shall be found, proved and
established, whether before or after the
exeoution of this will, the sum of $1
each.”’
A Strike In Its Second Year.
A Leeds telegram states that the
strike of 800 weavers at Barnoldswick,
a Yorkshire manufacturing village, has
now lasted 12 months, and last week it
entered upon its second year withouss
any prospeot of a settlement. About
half of the hands who ocame out on
strike are now working a¢ other places,
and the remainder receive strike pay,
which is chiefly contributed by the
Northern Counties Weavers’ association,
The dispute arose through the employ
ers refusing to pay the price lists paid
in other districts. During the struggle
geveral serious riots have occurred, anc
considerable damage has been done to
machinery, but latterly all has -been
quiet,—London Telegraph.

AN EXPLANATION. |
Editor Triplett Tells Why Thomas County
Went Republican. |
From the Thomasville Times.
Misled by an absense of the facts in the
case, a number of papers have asserted
that Thomas county went republican at
the late election. On the face of the re
turns—as consolidated—it did, but as a
matter of fact it did not. As stated and
explained in these columns before, the
vote of Cairo, had it been counted,
would have given the county to the dam
ocrats. Unfortunately, most unfortu
nately, the mother of the manager of the
election who had the returnsin charge
died the day after the election, and he
failed to bring thewm to town. With this
vote Bryan would have carried the coun
ty by 20 and Griggs by 78 votes. It will
thus be seen that Thomas county was
beld in the demoecratic column where
she has been so long.
We hope that our brethren of the press
will notice this correction and explana
tion of bow Thomas county appears in
the republican column.
AN OHIO ROMANCE,.
How a Young Man Jumped From Pov
erty to Prosperity.
Bince the fair a fellow named Wal
lace has hung around Upper Sandusky,
0., financially embarrassed. To gain a
step toward prosperity Wallace raised a
subsoription from the business men and
in return therefor offered to jump from
' the courthouse steeple.
~ This was to oocur yeeterday afternoon,
| and & multitude of psople assembled to
witness the performance. Wallace pro
vided a tank of waser in the courthotse
yard ina whicgh to jump and then climbed
to the top of the steeple. When about to
make the leap, the tank burst and many
people were caught in the flood and
thoronghly soaked. Wallace descended,
and, giving orders to have the tank re
paired, went to the probate office, se
cured a liconse, married a pretty young
lady whom he met for the first time five
days before, and after marrying her re
turned to the top of the steeple and
made the leap without a scratch.
The girl whom Wallace married is
the daughter of a wealthy citizen of
Mansfield, but has been living here with
her foster mother. This adopted mother
knew nothing of the marriage un#il it
was over, and she fairly made the air
blue when the news was told to her.—

PAY OF THE PEDAGOGUES.
Commissioner Glenn Tells Why the State
Is Tardy.
Eight thousand public school teachers
are making State School Commissioner
Glenn’s life a burden because they have
not been paid the third quarter’s salary.
Mr. Glenn gets fifty letters a day about
it and has been doing his best without
saying anything. but now he says it is
time to tell the plain truth.
“The third quarter’s salary, due Oct.
1, has not been paid,”’ said he, ‘‘forthe
simple reason that there is not enough
money in the treasury. It takes about
$350,000 to pay them and there is some
thing over $200,000 in the treasury, with
$l,OOO a day going out for the legislature
and coupons to meet, besides other ex
penses of the government. A month
ago the governor and the treasurer tried
to borrow the money, but they said io
substance: ‘We don’t want to lend any
money to you silver cranks before the
election. "We will p-obably be glad to
do so afterwards, but not now.” The
‘governor and the treasurer are at work
upon it again and they expect to get the
money this week.” 2SS [T @uEEsY |

A ROCKY MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Mildred Bevington's Account of a Long
Shot at an Antelope.
Mildred Bevington, a Rocky moun
tain girl living in Wyoming on the bor
der of Jackson’s Hole, has recently been
successful at hunting game which men
usually find hard to get. Her rifle is a
new Sharpless powder using, 30 calibor
weapen, and with it she has killed half
a dozen black tailed deer in a week. She
still hunts the deer and wears bloomers
while hunting. The bullets she uses are
soft nosed, 8o that when they hit a beast
they mushroom and spread out till they
are half an inch or more across. Not
one of the deer that she hit has run
more than 200 yards, and usually they
have died before they had gone ten rods.
She finds antelope hunting the best sport
of all, and she writes to a New York
friend:
‘I want to tell you about an antelope
I shot a week ago. I took my pony and
went away up above the ranch, tethered
it out and then went along a little bluff
to where I could look off across the open
country for a long way. I took out my
glass and looked and looked, but I
couldn’t see a single thing. Then I went
on a ways and looked again. I had
been looking for perhaps 114 hours
when I happened to see a glimmer of
something over a little hummock not
more than 100 yards away. It was just
a little speck of brown that I bad seen,
and I wasn’t sure I'd seen anything,
but I cocked my rifle and waited. 'lf it
was anything, I knew it would come in
sight 200 or 250 yards away and then I
might accidentally hit it if I tried hard
enough. It seemed so long waiting there
that I guessed I hadn’t seen anything.
Then up went something on the rising
ground. Another jump, and an antelope
was in sight, followed by four others. I
tried to ocatoh sight at one, but they
were so small in the sights—llooked like
little bits of rabbits. Pretty soon I
pulled the trigger. The next moment
they were gone. I felt like crying. You
know if I'd only seen them on the first
rise in time I'd have had a lot better
chance.
‘“‘But I put in another shell, so that
[my rifle would be fully loaded, and
‘waited for them to come up on the rise
beyond that, 400 or 500 yards away.
Pretty soon they came up, and I shot
again. It was like shooting at a mouse. ‘
I shot again. Then I noticed that only
feur were in sight, and tke other one
must have either turned off to one side,
or—or—and then I ran over the first
rise and up to the top of the one on
which I'd shot at the antelope first, and
there he lay, as dead as ever an animal
was, and it was a beauty tco. The bul
let had gone into the back of its head
and torm a fearful hole. Two inches
higher and I would have missed sure.”’

WANTS T 0 KILL MCKINLEY,
Crank Seeks the Life of the President-Elect
and Chicago’s Mayor,
A press dispatch from Chicngo says:
Joseph -Maruska walked into the lower
corridor of the city hall this afternoon,
armed to the teeth and intent on killing
Mayor Swift. Maruska asked in an ex
cited manner to be directed to the may
or's office. An officer took him to de
tective headquarters where the desk ser
geant was introduced to him as the may
or.
Maruska declared the mayor was a
menace to society and reached for his
hip pocket. He succeeded in draw
ing a bu'ldog revulver, but was disarmed
by the officers at hand.
Maruska swore he would kill Mayor
Swift and then go to Canton and dis
patch President-elect McKinley, both of
whom he said must die before the coun
try could prosper. He was handcuffed
after a hard struggle and locked: up.

PITIABLE,
The Attempt of Judge Logan E. Rleckley
to Get Into the Senatorial Race.
An Atlanua special, concerning the sen
atorial race, says: The pitiable side of
the contest is the attempt of Judge Lo
gan E. Bleckley to get into the race.
The venerable ex-chief justice hasn't re
ceived a vote up to the present, but he
firmly believes he wili be elected.
Yesterday he istued the follow ng
card or circular, which is very original
and characteristic. He entitles his pro
nunciamento ‘‘Faith.”
- ‘‘My faith, 1 own, is blind. True faith
is always so. To it more truth is true
than ever has been proved. When sight
avails no witness else is competent and
fuith need not nor can be sworn. The
less we see the more must hope confide
in faith and the more assurance faith can
give. Hail, sightless faith; the strong
-est anchor in a sea of doubt, Such now
is wine and hence my calm—my confi
~dence serene. The stake will not be won
by those who hold the cards at present,
Before the game concludes another deal
will ehange the play and drop the win
ning cards just where they ought to fall,
‘““T'hus far the hand for which by heaven
they are designed has héld no trumps,
To all the jolly players it has seemed ri
diculous—so weak as not to be a factor
in the game. But weak or strong, no
man can doubt ’tis clean and pure, and
80 forever will remain, whatever fortune
good or ill, no matter what or where or
' when, may soon or late befall. Its hold
is supreme. He reigns here below no
' less the vain and busy stir and in perfect
peace awaits the end.
~ “Men truly say the people do and will
'do right. But why? Because God rules
and overrules. When the people rightly
see his way that way the good and true
are sure to vote. They cannot disobey
him who, in truth and goodness, 1s su
preme. He reigns here below no less
than in supernal spheres. Whatever
right there is or doneis right divina,

You know the right and dare to do It,
