THEY WALK AND DRINK AND EAT Could Do the Same at Home if They Only Would. AMERICAN MONEY CARLSBAD, Austria, June 23, 1896. HE FAT MANS remedy, the pimply boy's relief, the ren- ovator of acid- charged blood, and the corrector of the wayward liver— Carlsbad is all this and more. You will only need to present yourself to the Carls- bad dcctors to learn you have an unsus- pected malady for which the waters @re a sovereign cure. The man who has nothing is looked on with suspicion. The others think he fs not frank. At 9 o'clock this morning I passed a beautiful young American girl up on the lonely hills. She has come for cbesity. That is what she says, although she has the face and figure of a woodland nymph. And sitting at her feet ther= was a foot bali player who has come for gout. He says he wants to cure the gout that he expects to have when he is fifty. Fat men puff along the wood- lana solitudes and hefty ladies suort down to the springs. The central fact about Carlsbad is that it is the most advertised health resort on the European continent. When you arrive in Carlsbad, you are svpposed to take an omnibus and go to a hotel. Naturally you have no Austrian money, because you have just run down from Dresden. This is what most of our Americens do. You therefore tell the ho- tel porter to pay for the omnibus. When the bill comes in you find that omnibuses are high im Carlsbad. This first impres- sion of highness does not leave the visitor throughout his stay. Some of the dodges are ingenious. For example, every one stops at a hotel the first night. The Httle ftem of candles makes its appearance on the bill next morning. As many cendles as the servants have been able to light, so many HMorins will be found upon the note. As many servants as have lighted up thcse candles, Sweating It Off. 80 many palms extended to the parting guest as he leaves for his villa after lunch. ‘The portier, the maitre d’hotel, the wine opener and the beer booby, the walter and the head waiter, the chambermatd and the slop girl, the luggage man and the lift man, the shoe boy and the bath room girl, the leader of the Hungarian orchestra in the court yard, the chasscur on the kerb, man who whisks you to your nee all ask for tips, boit-faced nding in most ing attitudes. population of they have ac- Come, Sirt commodations for 20,600 in these villas. In fact the town fs composed of villas in Which lodgings are rented to strangers for so much a week. that It is so much a week— is to say, exactly as much as you y in a first-class hotel in Paris or but if you attempt to leave dur- ing your first or second week, yor must nevertheless pay the villa proprietor for three weeks, because it is the law. Cer- tainly it is possible to make a special ment in writing, but no one thinks This is not the real reason, as some y every one stays three full t Carlsbad. It helps guests to de- cide in favor of the waters. That is all. Everything is free at Carlsbad. The ers are free, but you must pay the lit- fer dipping them up. There are seventy miles of delightful walks up Taking Exercise. Rill and down, in shade and out; and ever end anor there are delightful rivulets, cas- cades and rustic seats In woodland nooks. But as in Greek mythology, each nook, cas- cade and rivulet has its divinity. They pop ©ut most embarrassingly, these little girls and boys with tin cups, fans and photo- graphs, with guide books and bouquets, Wood garvings, opera glasses, alpenstocks, Wood strawberries, ferns, newspapers and Yisitors’ lists, to say nothing of their Ger- man tendency of breaking into song. But visitors soon fall into the habit of tolerat- So Lately Full of Pretty Women. ing these microbes as they take up the regime of the Carlsbad springs. Everybody is supposed to do the same in Carlsbad. The habit is to rise very early in the morning, start for the springs, take a cup of water, walk fifteen minutes and repeat. Four cups of Sprudel water before breakfast is as much as anyone goes In for; and after the last cup you are glad to walk for forty minutes, as the law directs. Ah! the sweet morning air! Ah! the in- vigorating salts! Consulting your watch as you toil along the hilly ways, you stop di- rectly when the forty minutes have expired. No matter where you stop, there is a res- taurant. Coffee and two soft-boiled eggs, a but- tered roll end a dash of sprudel to wash it down. There is now an hour in which to sit and wonder at yourself. It is etiquette not to chat much with visitors at this thoughtful hour. Lunch comes at noon, as the reward of walking. As limp as a rag from the in- vigorating walks and _ salis the visitor yearns for the table. There is one meat and one vegetable. It is the custom. In the afternoon one rests a bit, then walks a jot, then falls down in a faint upon the mountain side to be revived by smelling salts at the hands of the handy mountain microbe, who expects a tip. There is more walking, more sweating, more resting, done in and around Carlsbad than in all the res! of Europe. Toward 5 or 6 o'clock every- one takes a light supper. It strictly ought to consist of only a little cold meat with toast and tea. This is the daily routine, the real and genuine Carlsbad regime. Everybody goes to bed at 9 p.m., to recom- mence the sovereign cure next morning. Peopie who have come for years to Carls- tad declare there is no special virtue in the baths, but that the routine is the thing— or, rather, the facilities for the routine. ‘There is nething that one could not do at home. Sprudel salts may be had in any drug store. Walking may be done on any Pavement. There are plenty of facilities to sit and think in our great American cities. And anyone with a determined will can follow out the simple dietary regulations I have mentioned. Only, they say, no one will do this thing at home, without the stimulus of example. Undoubtedly the mountain air counts for much. Unfortunately it cannot be bottled. But in every other respect the stay-at-home may make a little Carlsbad of his home and come out brisk and fit after three weeks of treatment. The Sprudel salts of commerce are, or ought to be, obtained from the Carlsbad waters. Their efficacy is not so great as those of Epsom, in Eng- jand, or of the humble sulphate of mag- nesia. They are a calmer, gentler remedy. They also act on the kidneys and liver. This being the case, let us turn to the amusements, of which the baths are the most hygienic. The two large public bath houses, in which the hot water is taken directly from the springs, are the correct and original Carlsbad baths. They are good for every- thing, and only cost 50 cents apiece. But as these rich visitors want everything that money can buy, the specialties of all Europe reunited in Carlsbad, a magnificent new bath house has just been erected, capable of supplying Russian, Swedish, Greek, Chi- rese, Siberian and every known bath and treatment of the habitable glohe. For in- stance, there are mud baths. Their virtues are the same as those of any other mud baths. All mud contains min- eral matter. The Carlsbad mud is just as muddy as any other mud. They put you in a bath and throw this mud on you. There you lie in the soft mud and think. Another amusement is paying taxes. Who- ever stays more than a week in Carlsbad must pay for the privileges of the town. According to your seeming wealth and so- cial position you are set down as first-class, second-class or third-class. Of the first class are princes, crowned heads and all Americans. The second class consists of wealthy Germans and citizens of Europe. The third class is made up of those who are peor and look it. While those who declare they have no means at all are given the privilege of walking the Carlsbad streets free of charge. I did not feel justified in remaining first-class, as they had put me down, so I went to the burgermeister to protest. He looked at my necktie. I had a pin in it worth $3, a present from a wealthy friend to whom I had rendered great serv- ces in Paris, and, looking at that pin, he said that I must renk first-class. Fourteen florins. Seven dollars. Carlsbad visitors in general are too busy taking Sprudel to be socially gay. A certain cozy dolce far niente is arrived at in the short, early evenirg over wholesome Pilsen beer while listening to the bands play in the gardens. I say wholesome beer because it is the custom to speak of beer as whole- some. In reality beer is a root of all evil and the pampering of the emotions with music is destructive of character. The doctors of Carlsbad, however, do not say much against beer, and certainly the Spru- del helps the burdened human body to bear better with the tainting, nauseating wash. By devoting the evenings to beer many visitors succeed in increasing their waist measurement despite the ravages of Sprudel. There fs little dancing done. Once a week the Kursaal fills up for the weekly ball. Everybody goes. Not many trip the light fantastic. It is a promiscuous affair,where- in the most spirited performers are of oriental bloog, German origin and American nationality. We are so near to the Fourth of July that we are all agog with pleasurable excite- ment. Last Fourth of July it was delight- ful. Four naturalized Americans who spoke German very well and wore dia- monds in profusion appointed themselves a committee. The burgermeister set aside a piece of ground for them, now called the American Park, they hoisted the stars and stripes, made speeches, opened champagne and called on everybody to take a drink, because it was paid for. A great deal of vim was manifested in having their names inscribed on a stone memorial. This year the American colony hopes to have even a better time. They are going to blow the memorial up with dynamite. STERLING HEILIG. —_<__ The Heart in Cycling. From the Hartford Times. It is erroneous to believe that bicycle rid- ing should be avoided in every case of heart disease. Physicians who have made a study of this question declare that it may even be very beneficial in certain instances in which the action of the heart is feeble, and in which signs of fatty degeneration are found. Increased muscular exercise al- most invariably improves the condition of the heart itself. There are, however, sev- eral indulgencies that persons with weak hearts should beware of, such as straining to climb hills and meeting head winds, ex- cessive fatigue and particularly exciting the heart and calling upon its reserve strength by the use of alcoholic stimulants | and improper food. CHRISTIAN CITIZENS Patriotic Features of the Program of the C. E. Convention. GREAT MEETING ON THE CAPITOL STEPS Love of Country and the Duty of Good Citizenship. INSPIRING SURROUNDINGS ATRIOTISM TO the fore has been the idea of the commit- tee having in charge the preparation of the program for the fifteenth internation- al Christian Endeav- or convention, the opening sessions of which are to be heldWednesday next. Partly because the convention is to be held so soon after the celebration of Independence day, but chiefly for the reason that the promotion of good citizenship ts a fundamental prin- ciple of the Christian Endeavor Society, and because, further, the convention this year 1s to be held in the capital city of a country-loving nation, 1s the patriotic fea-, ture to be made prominent. Merely because the convention is be held in Washington, a great impulse will be given in this direction. The heart of every American citizen beats with reasonable pride as he views the beautiful capital and visits {ts public bulldings and sees the most Prominent statesmen, members of the judi- clary and officers of the army and navy in the country, whose presence here is re- quired by official duties. Every citizen of the United States has a desire to visit, at lJeest once in his career, the city where Urcle Sam lives; to go through the de- pertment buildings, see for himself some- thing of the machinery of. government and perhaps offer suggestions as to the manner in which the syst2m could be improved, or select an office that he would like to fill. Theusands of those who are either on their way to the convention or are making prep- arations for an early start, have never been to Washington; they will see its lefty mon- ument and graceful Capitol dome, its pub- lic buildings, statues of heroes, its parks and handsome private residences for the first time. No other city in the country presents so many points of interest or so many mementos that are interwoven into the nation’s history as does Washington. In Front of the Capitol. Because these facts are recognized and because it is desired to emphasize them, a grand patriotic demonstration has been planned for Saturday afternoon, July 11, in front of the Capitol. Permission to use the building and grounds 1 r this purpose has been granted the committee of '96 by Vice President Stevenson and Speaker Reed. It is proposed to have the chorus of more than 4,000 voices occupy the steps on the cast front, the identical spot where suc- ceeding Presidents take the oath of office and deliver to thronging crowds in the spacious plaza fronting the building their inaugural addresses. President Francis E. Clark of the World's Christian Endeavor Union will next Saturday occupy the stand and the open square will be filled with n:embers of the organization from all lands. A good citizenship banner will be presented and a brief address is to be delivered, but the principal feature Is expected to be the chorus singing. For the first time since the mammoth body was organized, the four sections wiil be brovght together under one director and-more than 4,000 voices will join in hymns and songs, whose theme is liberty, freedom and love of fatherland. The strains will be taken up by the as- sembled thousands and patriotic impulses will stir every heart. After the exercises at the Capitol the Endeavorers will march in a body along Penpsylvania avenue to the treasury—the historic route tramped by the victorious Union armies wken they passed in grand review through the city after the restora- tion of peace, in 1865, the same parade ground that is quadrennially traversed by inaugural processions. The program bas teen so arranged that nothing will interfere with this feature. Meetings will be held Saturday morning in the tents, but nothing except the Capitol vesper exercise has been planned for the afternoon. Everything gives way to the cemonstration of patriotic fervor. Patriotic Exercises. One of the terts Saturday morning is to be occupied by the juniors for their rally, and busy preparations have been under way for some weeks to have a successful and helpful meetirg. An exercise, entitled “The Junicr’s Love of Country,” prepared by Mrs. James L. Hill, has been rehearsed and will be given by selected members of the District Junior Union. There will be a number of flag marches, interspersed with recitations and songs. The national hymns of various countries will be sung, and chil- dren in costume, representing the states and territories and the District of Colum- bia, will engage in the flag arills. The reci- tations will be short and to the point, and emphasize the love of ccuntry and of home inherent in the people of all lands. TuesGay, after the convention, a pilgrim- age is to be made to Mount Vernon, and patriotic exercises will be held on the lawn in front of its historic mansion. It is the expectation that ten thousand Endeavorers will make the trip. It !s also hoped that a good proportion of the convention chorus will be present. Brief addresses are to be made by some of the trustees of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society, ard patriotic songs amid patrictic scenes will be sung. A special feature of the convention pro- gram is the series of meetings arranged for Thursday evening, the 9th instant, in the three tents, Central Hall and the five large churches selected for convention pur- poses. The general topic for these meet- ings will be “Christian Citizenship.” Pres- ident F. E. Clark, Mr. John Wanamaker and Postmaster General W. L. Wilson will be the presiding officers in the three tents, and distinguished speakers have been se- lected to deliver addresses. Following are some of them: Rev. R. S. MacArthur, D. D., New York city; President Wm. F. Slo- cum, jr., Colorado Springs, Col.; Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala.; Rev. P. 8. Henson, D. D., Chicago, Tll.; Rev. Alexan- der Alison, D. D., New York city; Rev. M. F. Troxell, Springfield, Il.; Rev. Wm. Ra- der, San Francisco, Cal.; Bishop Alexan- der Walters, D.D., Jersey City, N. J.; Rev. J. W. Fifield, Chicago, Ill; Bishop Abram Grant, D.D., Atlanta, Ga.; Rev. H. K. Car- roll, D.D., New York city; Rev. F. E. E. Hamilton, Newtonville, Mass.; Rev. Jo- seph Brown Morgan, Chester, Eng.; Rev. J.T. McCrory, D.D., Pittsburg, Pa.; 8. E. Nicholson, Kokomo, Ind. ichard, Bristol. England. Christian Endeavor stands for total absti- nence, and is against the saloon and tho lquor traffic. The following speakers will speak upon these phases of Christian citi- zenship: Neal Dow, Portland, Me.; Rev. Howard H. Russell, Columbus, Ohio; Rev. C. H. Mead, New York city; Thomas Mur- y, New York city; H. L. Castle, Pitis- urg, Pa.; Miss Jessie A. Ackerman, Chi- cago, Ill.; Mrs. Ruth Baker, Boston, Mass. Rev. J.’W. Hamilton, D.D., Cincinna’ Ghio; W. L. Board, ‘Wilberforce, Ohi Rev. D. F. McGill, D.D., Allegheny, Pa. Not Political. Good citizenship, as understood by Chris- tian Endoavorers, does not mean participa- tion in politics. The idea is to elevate the moral tone of a community by improving the character of its citizens; to teach men their duty as members of a republican form of government; to frown on corrup- tion, to break up. the saloon and haunts of vice, and ‘to make men cleaner, purer, more intelligent, better fitted for the responsibil!- ties of -itizenship and respecters of law and order. Washington is regarded as an ideal city in which to emphasize these special fea- tures of Christian Endeavor principles. The meeting places where such teachings will be eagerly listened to by tens-of thousands of young people from every section of the country. are actually in the very shadow of Washington's monument and the Presi- dent's house, located on soll peculiarly the property of the general government and surrounded by' public buildings. Washington’s convention and the pro- gram arranged ‘for {t are expected to be the best yet in the history of the organization. More than three hundred meetings have been arranged for, and at least two hundred noted men have been invited to speak. The st Includes Rt. Rev. M. 8. Baldwin, bishop of Ontario; Rev. H. K. Carroll, editor of the Independent, New York; Rev. T. L. Cuyler, D.D., of Brooklyn; Rev. Joseph Brown Morgan of Chester, England, and Rev. Arnold Streuli of Manchester, Eng- land. There Will be fifteen foreign misston- aries presenty who are expected to take part in the firs convention of the World's Christian Endeqver Union, to be held July Three men;' whose names are household words in the ‘musical world, have been selected to lead the chorus that has been in training for months. They are Percy 5. Foster of this city, who has performed similar service twice before at Christian Endeavor conventions, and P. P. Bil- horn and. E. 0, Excell of both widely known as composers of Goi pel songs. An anthem of Mr. Excell’s is to be sung during the convention; Mr. Bil- horn’s book of songs is to be used by the male chorus in the men’s meeting, and Mr. Foster's tune to “Loyal Soldiers,” the words by Jno. D. Morgan of the committee of '96, is one of the popular ones that will frequently be heard. Convention time has almost arrived, but everything is in readiness, and after months of hard work, local Endeavorers are anxiously awaiting the time for meet- ing their guests, offering them the hospi- talities of the city, and joining with them in the spiritual feast which has been pra- pare DEEDS OF HUMAN VALOR. Duty Was Denrer Than Life to Sur- weon McKellar. David Christie Murray, in Pearson's Weckly. I saw in Plevna one of the most extra- ordinary bits of human valor I ever be- held, an act that, to my mind, deserves to be recerded over and over again. The hos- pitals were in an absolutely unspeakable condition. There were men on the beds, urder the beds and between the beds. Cholera was there, and fever, and small- pex, ane every imaginable kind of horror. The hospital service was altogether in- complete. When our party reached the town the one young Irish doctor who had charge of the hospital was without a drop of chloro- form, without a surgical instrument which would do {ts duty, without an inch of charple or an inch of bandage. He was a young fellow of extraordinary valor, as he Proved over and over again In the course of the campaign, but when we reached him he was in such a state of despair that he was almost on the verge of sutcide. The chief surgeon of our party was Dr. McKellar, now second in command at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, One day, while the fight was going on in the trenches, he removed twenty-five limbs. The state of the hospital made 1t impossible to operate Irdoors, and he had to set up a rough operating table under the shadow of a mud wall which surrounded the hospital square, and carried on his work there. The operations were hastily performed, and he was blood from head to heel, like a butcher. I was walking up and down the square with a companion, when a@ siege shell struck the wall and knocked a hole in it through which a hansom cab might have been driven. Tt struck within a dozen yards of McKellar, who was at that instant in the act of tying up an artery. When the dislodged fragments had all pattered to the ground I ran toward him from the other side of the square. He thrust his blood-stained harids through his gray hair and sald, quietly: “That was a near shave; bring the next man.” I asked him why he had not dropped to avoid the explosion, for he must have heard the shell coming. He answered quite simply that #f he-had left the man for an instant his fe would have been lost. aces Check the Scorcher. From the St. Lonis Re bile. ‘The chief of police of Cleveland, Ohio, has declared himself in‘ favor of a novel method of putting an end to the “‘scorch- er’ In his city, where, asin other cities, the type has becomé a nuisance. His plan 1s to furnish a number of men with ropes and wheels, so that when they come across one who does not obey the order to halt they will lasso him. The chief takes a special delight in anticipating the shaking of bones and of nerves which must result to the disobedient rider. ‘The plan prcposed is novel and rather drastic. But it is, perhaps, not more «iras- tie than the circumstances demand. It is much to be regretted that any number of bicyclists should set themselves up against the law and thus endanger the lives of pedestrians as well as their own. It is a fact that there is a good deal of hosiility to the bicycle on the part of those who do not ride it, and solely because the few reckless riders deem the little excitement of scorching of greater importance than re- spect for the laws laid down by various municipal governments as to speed in cer- tain crowded thoroughfares. + The matter is one which should be taken up by the League of American Wheeimen. All remember the time when it was almost dangerous for a bicyclist to take a spin on @ country road, because his rights were so ignored by the drivers of public vehicles that he was frequently run over. The league changed all that. Let the league now step in and put down the scoreher. The public and the press have fought for the wheelmen and have gained them many privileges. They will always need the aid and sympathy of the public in their move- ment for good roads and other public tm- provements of special importance to them- selves. They can only gain it and retain it by respecting the rights of the public. oe Stage Incident in Forrest's Career. Among other stories related by Joseph Jefferson at the Forrest Home celebration at Philadelphia recently was one which de- scribed a remarkable performance of ‘‘Meta- mora,” given in Washington, when Mr. Jef- ferson was Forrest's stage manager. “In one of the scenes,” said Mr. Jefferson, “‘a victim 1s tled to the stake and burned, the flames being produced through the medium of a sponge saturated with alcohol and con- cealed in a tin cup. One of the supes upset the cup and the sponge rolled down to the footlights, leaving behind a trail of fire. ‘Put that out! roared Forrest. Two supes dressed as Indians increased the ludicrous picture by kneeling down and blowing upon the sponge with might and main, the only result being two pairs of singed eyebrows. Then another supe pushed his way to the front and calmly trod on the sponge. The flames squirted in all directions, his trous- ers caught fire and the curtain was rung down. The audience left the theater good naturedly, and the next morning all the newspaper critics agreed that they had never seen Forrest play with so much fire!”’ —_——o- ‘Stupid Trout. From the Chicago Record. “You don’t stay; long at that hotel which advertises a fine trout stream in the vicin- ity?” fol “No. the hbtel' man exvlained that it was a fine ttout ‘stream, but he couldn’t help it if thd trout hadn’t sense enough to find it out.” —a toe CONVENTION WEEK Condensed Program of the Christian Endeavor Events.
