Address, etc. What the result of this advertise ment was I did not learn. LIppin cott's. Limits. The train was called the limited, bin what was limited about it? It ran a; an unlimited speed, the incivility of tht conductor and the brakeman was unlim ited, as was the rapacity of the porter. "It's a mystery!" exclaimed the littli party of foreigners. But in a moment they entered tht drawing room car, and their wonder van ished. "Of course, it's the good taste of tht decorations !" they whispered, and, remem bering their manners, pretended not to no tice. ruck. Although constitutional government was known to the world before the United States, after Its break with the mother country, tried the experiment, the system adopted here undoubtedly Las been the model uikmi which many of the later constitutions have been founded. The comparative smoothness of the working of the Federal Constitu tion has shown Its peculiar advautages for a sovereign ieople who have decided to govern themselves. While It Is too radical for some countries where class distinctions exist, the simplicity and comprehensiveness of the United States system recommend It In part, at least, to nil people seeking popular govern ment. In Europe the only countries without representative rulers are Turkey and the tiny State of Monaco, both of which are autocracies. More than one-half the Inhabitants of the globe are ruled under ancient systems, but recent an nouncements show that within a few years the whole world will have ac cepted the Idea of representative gov ernment Last year the Czar of Russia gave the order for the election of representatives to the great national council, the Dou mn. While the experiment showed con clusively that the step was Ill-timed, and while the Emperor found It neces sary to dissolve this Parliament, It may bo asserted that bona fide constitutional government will be tho Russian people's portion In the near future. Shah Follow Ciar. The astonishment and surprise with which the rest of the world greeted the Czar's proclamation for constitutional government was only little less than that which saluted the announcement that China Is to have a constitution nnd a representative government, and that the Shah of Persia had agreed to do as much for his people. The significance of a change in the form of government so radical as the substitution of a system of popular rule for an autocracy demands that the re form be achieved with consideration rather than with dispatch. China, be ing a large body, follows the axiom and moves slowly. The wJse men of the Central Empire have said that twelve years will be required before a suitable constitution will be ready. For that reason, and for others more obvious to the student of International politics, there need be little fear that China will be n larger gainer from reform than Russia appears to 1m?. So far as Per sia Is concerned, a enso very different from that either uf Russia or China Is presented. At the present moment few persons would care to hazard a guess on tho outcome of the proposed prom ised reform In the Shah's empire. In Persia tho inquirer finds a chaotic state of affairs, far more hopeless than the anarchy spreading throughout Rus sia, and so Inextricably confused with religious disorders as to be Incompre hensible to one unacquainted with the conflicting agencies in tho East and the oriental character. Only a master mind can restore order In Tersla, and the question Is, Does the empire of Alex ander the Great possess such a geulus7 With Russia, China and Persia adopt ing the western system of government, the world may be said to have become possessed of the idea of popular rule, for the few remaining States bnv a to tal population of no more than 05,000, 000, a rather Insignificant part of the total number of earth's inhabitants, ap proximately set down as 1,300,000,000. In addition to the countries mentioned, representative government Is still un known In Abyssinia, which clings to the feudal system ; Afghanistan, which has feudal local government; Morocco, which Is an autocracy; Ncpaul, which Is a military oligarchy, and Slam, which Is ruled by a legislative council. A commission from China for a year or two has been studying the various national constitutions, nnd It Is not Improbable that the new Chinese sys tem will be patterned on that of the United States and that of Germany, both of which contain portions which might, without violence of national prejudices he naturalized In the Celes tial kingdom. Like the United States and the German empire, the Chinese empire Is composed of a number of states, or, as they are called, provinces, Each has customs and laws peculiar to Itself, although there nre national laws (edicts In China) which are unl versally applicable throughout the em pi re. When it Is announced that the Chi nese will require about a dozen year to frame a suitable constitution, tho tendency of the reader Is to give a knowing smile. "They do everything slowly In China," he says. The Chi nese are, Indeed, cautious and conserv ative, and will not consent to throw away the wisdom of 2,000 years with out supplying Its place with something betters. On the other hand, it Is well to remember that the American consti tution required years In Its making. The first experiment was the Articles of Federation, quickly found to be un- sulted, and thou, after years of popu lar demand, the constitution as we know that document was framed nnd, after more delay, adopted. About ten yenrs elapsed between the framing of the Articles of Federation nnd tho adoption of the Federal Constitution. Less than 4,000,000 persons had to be satisfied. In China there nre about 435,000,000. The United States then comprised thirteen states; in China 1here are eighteen provinces, corre sponding to our commonwealths, Persia In Sad Flight. Not long after the announcement the Dowager Empress of China, who Is the actual ruler of the empire, had decided to give the reformers a constitution, word was received that the shah of Persia had Anally granted the demands of his people. Few countries stand so much In need of reform as Fersla. The state Is on the verge of collapse; prov inces are In a state of anarchy; tho treasury Is empty; ril available secu rities are mortgaged, and the army, unpaid for months. Is In open mutiny. Insurrections against the government occur dally, and the only trustworthy troops In Teheran, the capital, are the Russian Cossack brigade. The cause of tho disorder Is, In part, the wish of the mullahs to lmltnte the example sc by the Russian revolutionaries; In part, tho stirring of the Pan-Moslem spirit, and tho desire to give allegiance to the Sultan as the supreme head of Islam. Truly, the moment for granting a con stitution Is as Inopportune as was that selected for granting a representative assembly to Russia. In the meantime European powers nre Jockeying for po sltlon to catch the prize as It falls. ON BLOODY GETTYSBURG. Reunion of Blue and (J ray on Ground Where The? Fonitht. The winged dove of pence which now hovers over the bloody field of Gettys burg recently witnessed the unusual spectacle of veterans of the war from both North and South shaking hands across the famous stone wall over which Pickett's men made their glori ous but useless charge. Gradually the government Is acquiring nil the proper ty over which the great three days' struggle was fought, and in time the ground will bo entirely tho nation's own, to be preserved forever Intact as preserved Just as wheti Tlckett made his charge, and the veternns of the fight receutly gathered here In reunion nnd shook hands across this battle line. The wall Is partly hidden by bushes In places, but Its twists und turns can be plainly followed from the road along P.loody Angle. Tho trees behind which the Confederates formed for this des perate charge are to be seen plainly from the angle. So also can the gap through which Pickett's men advanced after the terrific artillery duel of the third day of the battle. Fifteen thou sand strong, Pickett's men moved across the open ground between the lines, and, though torn by cannon shot RIGHT HOME. 'Doctor Reconinieads Poatam from Personal Teat.

It was when Lee reached the limit of bis Northern march. Monument after monument has been erected on the field until the entire ground Is dotted with mementos of the stirring Incidents of the great battle. Among the most Interesting is the mon ument of Gen. Warren, on Little Round Top. The general Is represented look ing toward the spot where he noticed the flash of bayonets on the second day of battle, and lightly guessed that the enemy were advancing through the woods back of the Devil's Den with the object of seizing Little Round Top. Warren hustled around and gathered together sulliclent troops In the vicin ity to save this key to the position. The statue of the famous general was placed on the very bowlder on which he stood when tho discovery of the Confederate attempt on Little Round Top was made. No one could have stood where tne Warren statuu stands now and have lived a second during the progress of the battle, for In tho attack on Little Round Top Confederate sharpshooters were thickly sprinkled In tho Devil's Deu. a mass of rocks In tho valley be low, and these marksmen, retiring Into the cave beneath a big bowlder to load, would fire and retire again, so that a constant rain of bullets was kept on the defenders of the hill. The guus that loured shot and shell down on these sharpshooters and raked Death valley In the Immediate vicinity are still on Little Round Top. Every stone of the famous wall li and rifle fire, kept doggedly on until the stone wall was reached. A little further on Is the monument erected to the memory of the brave handful of Mlnne.sutans who charged the thousands of advancing Confeder ates when it was found that there was a gup in the line and there was a dan ger of tins Federal army being broken. They were asked to make the charge In order to allow time for the bringing up of reinforcements to stop the gap, and they did so, knowing that they were going t,j certain death. Such deeds are so commonly recorded on the monu ments on this battlefield that it Would he necessary only to copy the Inscrip tions to obtain a string of stirring In cidents in which brave men who count ed life as nothing compared with the winning of the day figured us tho principals.

RUss, twice Governor of Michigan, died recently at Saginaw, of which city he was the most distinguish ed resident Aaron T. Bliss was born In Smlthfield, Mad ison County, New York, May '.'2, lfv57, nnd spent his boyhood on a ftrm there. At 17 ho left homo and was employed In a store In a neighbor ing village. At the aaiion T. iiuss. breaking out of the Civil War ho was one of the first to enlist In the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery and alter ho had rendered material assistance In recruiting tho regiment to its full strength he was made, first lieutenant. Within a year bravery lu action had gained for hltn a commission as captain. At Ream's Sta tion, In Virginia, he was captured and was confined In prison at Salisbury, ndersouvilIc, Macon, Charleston and Columbia, escaping from the latter after being confined eight mouths. While In prison tho presidential election of 1804 was held. A black bean meant a vote for Lincoln, but the prisoners were as sured that If they cast such a vote It would mean longer Imprisonment for thciu and icrhps a grave on the hill side. Nevertheless Bliss voted the black beau. After ninklug his escape he wandered lor eight days before reaching the Union lines at Savauuuh and he was nearly starved. In 18415 Captain Bliss located In Sag inaw, Mich., and started a lumber busi ness In a small way. It grew until ho became the owner of extensive timber lauds, of salt mines, of a bank, mercan tile establishment and several farais. lie was enormously wealthy.

Clpinions of Great Papers on Important Subjects THE PAT OF PREACHERS, "i DISPATCH from Hartford, Conn., says A that the supply of ministers In the Congre gational church Is falling off rapidly. Tho ....g fact la attributed to the small Incomes that - . are paid to pastors and to the broader and 522 freer flelJ for Christian service offered by iur l. i. a. m am suojcci oi Binaries the Rev. W. F. English, of East Windsor, Conn., who was Instrumental In securing the Information upon which the dispatch was based, bas the following to say: "During tho past ten years In every other trade nnd occupation salaries and wages have enjoyed substantial Increase, but during this period the salaries of Con gregational minister! have been actually reduced 10 per cent, although tho wealth of the country hns Increased enormously and the cost of living has greatly advanced." There Is some confusion In speaking of salaries and wages together, because It Is certain that there has been no general Increase In salaries to corresiwnd to the gen eral Increase lu wages. We may doubt, too, If the sal ary plays quite as Important a part In the meditations of a divinity student as It does In those of a youth who Is son lug an apprenticeship lu business. But certainly the ?.!arles of Congregational preachers are not alluringly large to men with a genius for money-making. From a report on conditions at the beginning of the year It ap pears that the I'ongregatlonallsts then had nearly C.000 church establishments In the couutry, and that only about thirty of their ministers received $3,000 or more per year. The highest salary paid was $10,000, and there were only two or three pastors who drew that amount There were two at $8,000, (hero was one at $7,000, there were four nt $0,000. and most of the others In the class mentioned drew $5,000. After those exceptional cases there was a long drop, and no doubt hundreds of the pastors have Incomes that would be considered wretched ly Inadequate lu other professions than theirs or In busi ness. Chicago Record-Herald. Cm J MAKING WAR OK CONSUMPTION. OR sufferers from consumption nnd for those whose duty It Is to care for them, the ad dress which Dr. W. A. Evans, of Chicago, gave before the National Fraternal Congress at Montreal Is full of hope and encourage ment nnd stimulating counsel. The "nine commandments" which the speaker pre scribed for patients deserve the widest publicity possible. They summarize briefly the best advice modern science bas to give. Though many of those rules are already known aud generally accepted, they cannot be repeated too often. The first commaudment Is for patients to live In the open nlr "all the hours of all the days of all the years." The other rules are no less simple. They call for a nutritious diet of meat and bread, milk and eggs, an early diagnosis, a determined spirit and confident submission to a good doctor. For his own snke as well as for the safety of his neighbors, the patient must take all precautions necessary to prevent his becoming a danger to others. Equally Important for the welfare of the general public are the rules Dr. Evans prescribes for the community, calling for the abolition of the filthy habit of promiscu ously spitting and for a campaign of education against the evils from which tuberculosis originates and spreads. The public, If it Is to fight the great plague effectively, must see that there are hospitals for patients in advanced stages of the disease and sanitaria for those In the early stages. It must learn adequate methods of suiervlslon, sanitation and hygiene. In general It must cultivate the habit of living better and more temperately nnd must seek to provide better homes and working places. It Is along these line that the campaign against the scourge of tuberculosis must be waged. Placing patients in congenial climes will help, but outdoor life, proper diet and sanitation are the main things. The bare fact, cited hy Dr. Evans, that "consumptives Intelligently handled do and will get well In any State of the Union," holds out an encouragement which should stimulate everywhere the effort to carry on the educational work. No one has a light to feel that be Is free from moral obligation In this mat ter. Consumption can and will be stamped out, but not merely through Improving individual treatment. There must be concerted, Intelligent action on the part of all, the well and the 111 alike. Chicago News. STOESSEL, THE SCAPEGOAT.

The earliest automobile In England was Church's steam coach, an elaborately-decorated affair resembling a circus car, which ran between London and Birmingham. It was something like a double stage coach, but had more accommodations for passengers. It was constructed to carry twenty-eight Insldo and twenty -two outsldo passengers. In 1831 a committee appointed by the House of Commons reported on tho automobile movement. Its practica bility tbo committee fully established, but they mentioned that a formldablo obstacle existed In popular prejudice, which led to the Imposition of prohib itive and excessive tolls. There was prejudice thus against the earliest auto mobiles as there Is to-day against the modern ones, bat the early opposition could not be based upon the question of Bpeed. The clumsy coach of Church could not have attained a high sjieed, aud whs thus freer from danger than the excessively speedy machines of the present DEVOID OF POETRY. The Camel's Bite a Bad Feature of the Desert Hide. Tho camel Is a dangerous animal to ride n much more dangerous animal than the horse for the reason that with his serpentine nock ho can reach round when annoyed aud bite his rider. Camel are not all the patient, quiet, kindly creatures they are painted. They have very nasty tempers. A car avan, crossing the desert, Is always noisy; the loud and angry snarls of the camels make the waste places resound. A camel's bite is a serious matter. The strong teeth lock In tho wound, and a circular motion Is given to the jaw, around nnd then back, before tho teeth nre withdrawn again. The wound Is a horrible one. There nre few camel drivers without caniel scars. Dr. Nachtlgal, the celebrated Afri can explorer, once said to a youth who expressed a sentimental desire to cross tho Sahara on camel-back. "Voting man, I'll tell you how you can get a partial Idea of what riding a camel In an American desert is like. Take an olllce stool, screw It up as high as possible, and put it, along with a savage dog. Into a wagou without any springs. Then seat yourself on the stool, and have It driven over uneven aud rocky groend during the hottest parts of July Kd August, being careful not to eat or drink moro than once every two days, aud letting tho dog bite you every four hours. This will glvo you a faint Idea of the exquisite poetry of camel riding In the Sahara." Moaciulto Bltea, What they can do: Poison the baby. Kill the canary. Carry disease. Destroy a night's rest.
