“What is the Etowali company do

About four o’clock Tuesday alter

is as “ointment poured forth.” A frail
and suffering body held her through
these many years and became the me
dium through which her pure spirit
constantly shone forth, creating all
around her an atmosphere of peace
and love We expected her to go Ire

was the silver cord that bound her to
this world; and yet, when it broke,
there was a sharp, sudden pain, as
though we had not known she was

The (jiealckl Society o.’ All.
The editor of The Popular Science
Monthly fears that in the multiplicity
of societies and clubs, benevolent "and
otherwise, we may be tempted to forget
sue society that is greater than all the
rest, one which might be called the So
ciety of Human Endeavor.
We all belong to that. We were ini
tiated into it when we were born. We
mnst lie members of it till we die. Its
requirements are that each of us shall
do all the good he can toeverybody who
comes iu his way— m

The society does not require that wo
shall always give money in charity. Its
Lind of benevolence demands that wo
shall lw helpful to mankind in the way
that will help mankind most, showing
them how to take care of themselves,
how to ix> holiest and clean, and to do as
they would lie done by. We can help
them most by being and doing these
things ourselves.
That we are as good as wo are, that
we know how to take care of ourselves,
is owing only to tiie fact that strong and
kindly members of this great human so
ciety who went before us and lived ami
died in the right path showed us the
way by their example. What these
noble [last masters iu the brotherhood
of humanity gave to ns we owe to those
members who are all around us to give

IS. E. 'lib!~.rf. a writer in the Wash
ington Post, calls attention to one (-la
ment in the labor troubles that has been
lost sight of altogether by both “light
ers and writers." This is the great pub
lic that takes no direct part in the con
test. The merchant, the grocer, the
milkman, the banker, and the butcher,
uml above all tin- women and children
are the ones that suffer piost from this
grim fight The tradesmen and families
are the real taxpayers of a community,
and on the.-e tile heavy task of making
good the losses caused hv brutal anger
on one side and brutal arrogance on Iho
other will fall. Bo far the public Ims
been the bilmt sufferer., Mrs. Hibliert
is of opinion that it will not always con
tin no to bo the patient beast of burden
that must take Die kicks and starvation
while workmen and capitalists are en
gaged in a Kilkenny cat light for what
each side calls a great principle.
This silent sufferer, the public, is cer
tainly beginning to lose sympathy with
both cats. It would not sited a tear if
the alleged inany-milliuiicd individuals
who employ mechanics should come to
bankruptcy and be obliged to work for
their living watering street car horses
at a dollar a day. No more will it draw
out its sympathetic handkerchief at the
funeral of a striker who was trying to
stone a nonunion uian to JeaDi and got
shot. It asks both side's to be (decent
and atop this tiling here and now. It
has bad enough of it.
To this silent sufferer two things are
clear. The first is that an employer
should treat Ids workingmen exactly as
he felt that he would be justly treated
under their circumstances. The second
is that no man or body of men has the
right to prevent by violence any indi
vidual from working for what wages lie
pleas- s. In so far as either side violates
one of these principles the silent sufferer
will set itself dead against XhaMkde.
There is danger of the light degenerat
ing into a general war between persons
who o\\ u property and those who own
nothing. Capitalists owe it to their own
safety to consent l*. arbitrate with tbeii
own men iu ta.-s of misunderstanding.
High mightiness is not a good thing
on either side just now. At any rate, if
these wretched troubles go on the silent
sufferer will ere long conclude that this
is the best country tn the world to get
oat of. Then where will both sides be?
The new bicycle sulky with low
wheels docs not compel the driver to

measures taken here to keep out chol

Some people have been curioos to
know when the first Irishman came to
America. They may or may not be *nr
■ prised to find that the exact date, cor
, rented to suit the modern style of
! reckoning, was Oct. 21. 1492. There
was an Irishman on board the Columbus
i fleet that discovered tiie western world,
i it will be 400 years this coining Oct. 21
when the first Irishman set foot in
America. Irish occupancy therefore
antedates both that of Knickerbocker
and Puritan. The Irish are onr real old
families. It may be mentioned that one
of Columbus' sailors was an English
man. There were two Italians land-! s
foluuilius —Genoese sailors— but all the
(it were Spaniards. It is a curious
lain of fate that the nationalities that
were least represented in those ships of
discovery are now the ones, with tlieir
descendants, that mainly own and [~m
ple North America.

when the sailors of Columbus U. 1

adays the trouble would have I stun to
keep the men back, and even the women
who want ti go out and discover new
worlds. But it was not like-4h:it in the
day of Columbus, lie could scarcely
get sailors at all to man his three lit:D*
crafts, the largest, the - flagship. u-ing
only ninety feet long. The ninety sea
men who constituted the crew had boon
secured partly by the amiable press gang
system in vogue iu t hose days. Many of
them, too, were criminals who hud been
pardoned on condition that they go on
the expedition. A jolly lot they must
have been. Columbus inaugurated
among them the original American plan
of doctoring the returns. lie dared not
let them know how far the ships sailed
during the voyage, or they would have
thrown him overboard and turned the
ships' noses the other way. So he doc
tored the logliook and made it announce
that they had sailed 500 miles less than
they actually had dene. Meantime he
kept up their spirits, this adroit •• Ad
miral Don Cristobal Colon,” by scatter
tug among the sailors the following
proclamation:
When our tecloreel seeve-redgme honored me
with the commission of ndntirul nml viceroy
In those secret sens toward which we nre now
steering, t considered it ns the most glorious
mid joyful event of my litee, ns I now consider
this moment, which seems painful to Mime of
you, us second to it ouiy in joy. The end of
our voyage is Cathay. a country known to He
In the uuperimist eastern extremity of Asia,
whither it lias been reached hy Christian ireev

in Ihe circumstance that we go not, nut erne'..

as an eastern, aud certain calculations make
It certnlty that this western boundary, w hich
la Cathay, e aii'bhl tie more than thirl) days’
nailing from us.
Now Cathay abounds wUh gold and gems
and silks and merchandise more than any
land, however wealthy. In all Europe. Of the
advantages of reaching such it count#) ye may
judge readily. Going not ns invaders, but its
Christian friends, we will meet the most

proclamation. To further keep up the
spirits of the crew they were reminded

was cheated out of his pension after all,
and it was given to the great Columbus
himself, because he thought he saw a
light at ID o’clock the night of the 20th,
fiiur hours earlier. Thus again was
verified Miss Budkin's scripture quota
