AyerCo., All Druggists. Lowell, Mass. Price, 60 ots. Bob Taylor, that matchless prose poet of Tennessee, has made the fol- lowing: “It is in the desert where virtue trembles to tread, where hopes falter and where fuith is crucified, the infidel dreams. To him all thereisin heaven is bound by this little span of life. Allthere is of pleasure and of loveis circumscribed by a few fleeting years; all there is in the human brain; all there is in mystery and infinity is fathomable by human reason, and all there is of virtue is measured by the relation of man to man. Tohim all must end in the ‘tongueless silence of the dreamless dust,’ and all that lies beyond the grave is a oiceless shore and a starless sky. To him there is no print of deathless feet on ite echoless sand, or thrill of immor- tal music in its joyless air. He has lost his God, and like some seraph flying in the rayless night, he probes his way on flagging pinions, search- ing for light where darkness reigns, for life where death is king.” To Cure a Cold in One Day.

THE (O-KRELL BOOM AGAIN, As the New York Sua Sees the Mis- souri Situation. New York, July 31.—In an editor- ial to-night the Evening Sun says: We infer that the boom of Senator Cockrell for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination has received no en- couragement from himeelf—but was the work of certain shifty politicians who yearned for his position ae sena- tor, At his advanced age he would rather be senator than President, for he enjoys the emoluments, dignity and comfort of the place, and to few senators is it given to have so much personal influence in shaping legisla tion. There are three men in Missouri who want Senator Cockrell’s shoes, They are: Governor Dockery and Representatives Clark and DeAr- mond. They are willing to see him nominated for President, although there is no evidence connecting them with the late boom. Vacancies in Missouri are few and far between; youth grows to old age before the opportunity comee to graduate from the House or governor’s chair to the Senate. Vest, a man of sterling merit, wore out in the service, and Cockrell is like the grand old guard at Waterloo. As to this matter of keeping an able and honest man in the Senate, we take off our hat to Missouri and we hope she will never have cause to regret her choice. Whoever started the Cockrell boom for President, it may be assumed thatthe senator himself had nothing to do with it. It was the forlorn hope of somebody who wanted tosee him retire from the Senate. Champ Clark can plead not guilty. “Iam perfectly willing,” he says, “that Senator Cockrell shall be nominated for the presidency, with the distinct understanding that in the event of defeat he shall be re-elected to the Senate by the unanimous vote of the Democratic members of the Missouri legislature.” Representative DeArmond says that he has never dreamed of beinga candidate for senator against Cock- rell and Governor Dockery is not called upon to break silence.

CASTORIA ARTISTSARE AROUSED o — Is Charged with Altering Famous and Valuable Paintings. Gerome Sues Parisian Dealer Be- cause of Changes in Picture and New Yorker's Fad of Cloth- ing Nades Is Told, M. Gerome, the painter, is suing M. Brandus, a picture dealer at Paris, res} i ulterations alleged to have been in Gerome’s fumous salon pic- ture entitled, “A Court Promenade in the Gardens of Versailles." The painting was sold in 1896 to George M. Tynes, of New York, and was taken to the United States where M. Brandus bought it two years ago. M. Brandus brought the picture to Paris and offered it for sale. M. Gerome discovered that the remark- able effect of light produced by the setting sun and rising moon, for which the picture was famous, had been painted out and replaced by resplendent sunshine, which admit- tedly had been done skillfully. M. Gerome applied to the courts to im- pound the picture pending further action against M. Brandus, and the judges enjoined the latter from part- ing with the painting. M. Brandus disclaims any connec- tion with or knowledge of the alter- ation, which is ascribed in art circles to the American purchaser's initia- tive. It is said that he was eccentric and caused several famous pictures in his collection to be modified, He bought nudes at the Paris salon and had clothes painted over them, The least artiscally offensive of these alleged vandalisms was the embel- lishing of a beautiful nude by Dela- eroix with flowing drapery, while a worse instance was the dressing of a figure of Psyche in fashionable tailor made gown and a picture hat. Artists are much interested in the case, They contend that the painter alone has the right to sanction alter- ation in his creation, The Most Ancient Scriptaral Writing In Existence Discovered in Syria, What is claimed to be the oldest Bib- lieal manuscript extant was lately dis- covered in Syria, and is now in safe keeping at Cairo, ‘It comprises the Pentateuch, written in Samaritan characters on gazelle parchment, and its date is the year 116 of the Moslem era, which is equivalent to the year 735 A.D, It is declared to be far older than any of the Hebrew Biblical man- uscripts in the libraries of Europe or America, It is stated that the oldest manuscript in the British museum is of the year 1339 A. D., and this has hitherto been supposed to be the old- est in the world, The newly discov- ered manuscript contains immediate- ly after the decalogue a passage of about 15 lines that does not exist in the authorized version, It is claimed that this passage is likely to clear up several long-disputed points, TO WOMEN'S DEFENSE.
