Rer'i-rr ng to President Cleve
land's message to congress, the
London Globe says: “There is
nothing surprising in the fact that
the Monroe doctrine bulks rather
largely in the message, nor in the
hostile tone adopted toward Eng
land. Isn’t the presidential elec

lion’s tail may look to the old

to answer in the turgid waters of
American politics.”
SONGS AT SING SING-.
Thanksgiving Day at the Grim
Joy overflowed in Sing Sing pri
son on Thanksgiving day.
Song and laughter filled the old
stone building from end to end.
As a rule there is not much
mirth in Sing Sing. It is safe to
say that never in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant was there
such wild hilarity as that anwtng
the folks whc are doing unpleas
ant service for the state.
Chicken and mince pie alone
did not cause all the enjoyment in
Sing Sing; they come with every
Thanksgiving and Christmas. This
year, for two whole hours, the con
victs were permitted to talk, yell,
' shout, sing, whistle. It was the
' first time that such a liberty was
'ever granted the prisoners and it
was a howling success.
The idea originated with Warden
O. V , Sage, and he was so delight
ed with the experiment that the
same liberty will be granted again
at Christmas.
One of the strictest rules of the
prison is that silence must be ob
served at all times. So turkey and
mince pie were not in it with
those two hours of vocal exercise.
Ou Wednesday \\ arden Sage had
; c used typewritten notices to be
i pasted in each cell, stating that
' the warden desired to make the
' inmates as comfortable and happy
as circumstances would permit;
that he well understood how the
most trying rule to observe was
the imposing silence, and that, in
view of the excellent manner in
which this rule had been observed,
everybody, encept those in the
hospital and extension, would be
permitted to laugh, whistle, play
musical instruments, shout, talk
and sing to their heart’s content,
provided no improper remarks
were made or irnpr. p.-r songs sung
between 3>n 1 5 > m Pounding
on cell doors was i • t permitted.
Notice was also given that theh ur
of 3 would be announced by three
strokes and the hour of 5 by five
strokes.
At 8 o’clock m the morning the
1360 prisoners bad breakfast, con
sisting of chicken, mashed pota
toes, bread and tea. Then they
took their exercise and were lock
ed up until 10:30 o’clock, when
they were formed in companies
for dinner, which they took back
to their cells, to eat when they so
desired. It consisted of chicken,-
in addition to which each man re
ceived one-third of a mince pie,
one half pound of cheese, four ap
ples, tea, sugar, and twj cigars.
Every zebra was waiting anx
iously for the gong to strike 3, and
the quiet excitement among tin
men was wonderful to witness.
Some of them seemed fairly burst
ing to yell and show and to hear
how their voices s >unded again
when run at full pressure. Every
moment was counted and by acci
dent, the prisoners had ten min
utes more of vocal liberty than
the warden had granted.
At 2 :50 a messenger from in
warden entered one of the galler
ies to call a keeper. He raised bo
hand, and the pen? n in charge • ■
the gong, thinking this a signal i
strike, struck. T1 e sharp strok
rang out, and bet lam was lei
loose. The biggest dog show evei
had was as quiet as a Quak<
meeting compared to it. Froi
every cell came y- Ils, howls of de
light, songs, shouts of deliriou
j «y. N‘> one paid any attention
to what any one ( '-e was shouting
land so the din • ontinned. Con

Down in one corner of (he pri
son there was a slight lull when
Convict Fisher, “the celebrated fe
male impersonator,” announced
that he would sing the “Sidewalks
of New York.” He did, and the
chorus was frightful, but hearty.
Fisher next sang “Home and Moth
er, ’ his voice tender and pathetic,
and there were plenty of tears
when he finished.
Convict 2, a life prisoner, who
1 as been so long inside the walls
that he has forgotten to count the
years, had a hard time getting his
talking apparatus into working
order. For years and years he has
only spoken a few words in a whis
per, and when he spoke out loud
his voice almost frightened him.
M hen Warden Sage passed along
toe tieis of cells, the convicts gave
him thieo cheers. The warden is
very strict; but the men know he
is their best friend and willing to
aid them all he can. Not a man
abused the talking privilege, and
the warden felt proud of the fact.
AV hen, at 2 o’clock, the big gong
sounded again, bedlam ceased as
by magic. Many of the convicts
were hoarse, and some of them
could not have shouted and talked
much more. Their supper consis
ted of the regular prison fare, but
nearly all had enough left over
from the generous dinner to make
an excellent supper, so there was a
mutual boycott on dry bread.—
New York Recorder.
Major C. T. Picton is manager
of the State Hotel, at Denison,
1 exas, which the travelling men
say is one of the best hotels in that
section. In speaking of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy Major Picton says: “I
have used it myself and in my
family for several years, and take
pleasure in saying that I consider
it an infallible cure for diarrhoea
and dysentery. I always recom
mend it, and have frequently ad
ministered it to my guests in the
hotel, and in every case it has
proven itself worthy of unquali
fied endorsement. For sale by all
druggists.

The State Commander writes us
from Lincoln, Neb., as follows:
"After trying other medicines for
what seemed to be a very obstinate
cough in our two children we tried
Dr. King’s New Discovery and at
the end of two days the cough en
tirely left -hem. Wa will not be
without it hereafter, as our exper
ience proves that it cures when all
»ther remedies fail ” —Signed F.
\V Stevens, State Com.—Why not
give this great medicine a trial, as
it is guaranteed and trial bottles
are free at H. H. Arrington’s Drug
•Store. Regular size 50c and $1.00;

When most needed it is not un
usual for your family physician
to be away from home. Such was
the experience of Mr. J. Y. Schenck
editor of the Ind., Ter., Banner,
when his little girl, two years of
age was threatened with a severe
attack of croup. He says: “My
wife insisted that I go for the doc
tor, but as our family physician
was out of town I purchased a bot
tle of Cough Reme

Iv. I will not be without it in the
future.” 25 and 50 cent bottles
