We'like to meet a man whose smile will light vp dreariness, whose voice is full of music of the birds; whose hand- shake is an inspiration and his ‘God bless you’ a benediction, He makes us forget our troubles as the raven’s dismal croak is for- gotten when the wood-thrush sings. God bless the man of cheer. Thereis plenty of trouble here, but we need notincrease it. There is a lot of dying- done ahead of time.” OBSERVATIONS. “‘Salome” has madea hit in Paris.

HEAD OF COMMITTEE QUITS Refuses to Remain Chairman of Body Which Promises to Be the “Bone of Contention and the Target for the Shafts of the Opposition.” Columbus, 0., May 2 .—The first in- dication in the general Presbyterian assembly of the smouldering but threatening antipathy toward the tem- perance report came during the day when Dr. David Wills, Jr., of Oswego, N. Y., appointed Friday by Dr. Will- iam H. Roberts, moderator, handed in his resignation with an absolute re- fusal to serve upen this committee. He gave as his reason that he did not care to be at the head of a committee’ which will be the bone of contention and the target for the shafts of those opposed to the report. When interviewed later, however, Dr. Wills said he resigned because of reasons that he did not care to dis- cuss. They were not “beciuse of the merits of the case,” he declared. He admitted;, however, that he did not come here to quarrel. Dr. Roberts will appoint another chairman. It is rumored that he will have a hard time finding some one who will remain a fixture in this place because of the opposition and the movement said to be cn foot to shelve the report. Lively Debate Anticipated. The report.of the committee on in- terstate temperance will probably be made next Friday, but the discussion of the temperance question will be lively up to that time. Professor Scanlon of Pittsburg is directing the committee work. There is strong op- position to the Anti-Saloon league, many commissioners declaring that they will not vote to continue the work of this league. Many believe that the young and old people’s gocie- ties should take up the work of the Anti-Saloon league within the church. The friends of the league among the commissioners are flatly against the churches coming out as not in favor of the league. They are giving many reasons why the league should be sup- ported. The fight promises to become the most interesting of the whole as- sembly. The temperance committee’s report does not mention the league by name, but it contains some very significant passages. It states that while it is the duty of every Christian to partici- pate in polities the “church in her organized capacity ought not to inter- fere in political primaries or advocate the election or defeat of candidates for political office or authorize men to conduct political campaigns or other- wise compromise herself by -political entanglements.” ADMITS TAKING $25,000. Cashier of St. Louis Coal Company Disappears. St. Louis, May 2 .—It has just be- come known that Caleb V. Bartlett, cashier of the Madison Coal corpora- tion, was arrested a week ago on the charge of being short almost $26,000 in his accounts and, after making a confession, had disappeared. Knowl- edge of his arrest had been sup- pressed pending further investigation into his accounts and to keep the news from his young wife, who is just recovering from a surgical operation. A. J. Moorshead, president of the coal company, stated that Bartlett had been with the company for fourteen years. “Bartlett used the money in speculation,” said Mr. Moorshead, “and has made a confession that he took from us between $25,000 and $26,000.” After Bartlett was arrested he was placed in the custody of a private de- tective in the employ of the America Surety company. His whereabouts are not now known and his wife is heartbroken at her husband’s ab- sence. THEIR COURSE APPROVED. Officers of Shipping Trust Will Con- tinue to Fight Strikers. New York, May & .—Announcement is made that the finance committee of the International Mercantile Marine company has -approved every act pre- viously done by its officers and has ordered that the strike of the long- shoremen be fought to the end. About 100 strikebreakers who were employed on the docks of the Wilson line -steamers to take the places of longshoremen have joined the. strik- ers. Three big liners, tha St. Louis, Campania and Finland, sailed on time. Seventy-five strikebreakers who were ‘working on the docks of the SAYS THIS IS BEST. A leading health journal in answering the question, “What is the best prescrip- tion to clean and purify the blood?” prints ina recent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dandelion one- half ounce, Compound Kar- gon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bed- time. A well-known local drug- gist states that these are harmless vegetable ingredi- ents, which can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy. This mixture will clean the blood of all impurities. In just a few days the skin begins to clear of sores, boils and pimples. It puts vigor and energy into run- down, debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsaparilla alone has been considered a good blood medicine; But while it built up and made new blood, the impurities re- mained within and the good accomplished was only tem- porary. Sarsaparilla, how- ever, when used in combi- nation with Compound Kar- gon acd Extract Dandelion, works wonders. This com- bination puts the kidneys to werk to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acid and other impurities that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and-bladder troubles. French line steamers also joined the ranks of the strikers. The loading of the steamer La Gascogne was delayed Revolution Against Colombia.
