The New York Sun publishes the following from its Washington cor respondent : ti. C. Whitney, Secre tary of the Milwaukee Board of Trade, a thirty-three degree Mason, and a man of considerable impor tance in his own State, oame to Washington recently to visit bis son, Francis H. Whitney, Postmaster General Payne's private secretary. When he left for the West again he remarked that Washington was a bonutiful city, but he didn't like the people. They were too evil-minded and suspicions. Mr. Whitney's criti cisms were based on a painful ex perience. One rainy day he started on a sight-seeing tour.- He remembered just before leaving the house that his wife, who had preceded bim down town to do some shopping, had forgotten her umbrella. So he took her umbrella along. In the course of the day the weather cleared, and Mr. Whitney, who had missed his wife at about six shopping centers, left the two um brellas in his son's office. Then he went to luncheon and when ho got up to pay bis check, absentmindedly, reached for the two umbrellas he had carted around all morning. He found a couple ready to his hand and was walking serenely out when a stout woman rushed up to hiui aud snatched the umbrellas away. "I'll have you understand," she said, "that those belong to myself and my sister. Do you generally carry two? Oh, of course, you wore ab sent-minded ! That is always the way." Mr. Whitney apologized pro fusely, but the stout woman turned her back on him, muttering angrily : "Two of them at once 1 the bold thing." Later in the day, when Mr. Whit ney stopped at the post office to get his two umbrellas, he found the fol lowing note from his son : "Dear Dad : Was called out on business. Pleuse take homo the three umbrellas in the stand near my desk. One of them is mine, and the others belong to Mrs. Whitney. I always forget to take them home. As Mr. Whitney was on a home ward bound car with his load of five umbrellas he attraeted considerable attention and began to feel foolish, lie grew increasingly uncomfortable as hu walked the length of the car and nearly fainted when he dropped into a seat directly opposite the stout woman whose umbrellas he had taken in the morning. The stout woman glared at Mr. Whitney, who tried to look uncon scious und at case. Finally, after contemplating the armful of umbrel las in a silence that could be felt, she controlled herself by an evident ellort and, leaning across the isle, re marked in a perfeotly audible tone : "Good evening, sir, I observe that you have had a very profitable day." Arriving at home he relieved bis feelings on the front steps, conclud ing with the remark that he was good and hanged if he didn't take chances on getting wet the next time. A Timely Toplo.

"Everything is in confusion on my desk," he said testily. "It always is." "You insist that you don't want anything disturbed there," she re sponded, meekly. "Well, I don't want my papers disturbed ; but I don't want this sheet of postage stamps left there." "Whore shall I put them?" she inquired demurely, as she took them u;?. "Don't ask so many questions," he snapped. Put them anywhere out of my sight." "Very well sir, sho cooed," as lightly as a dove.

While there WSB no apeoifio case on whioh he waa expected to an nounce hin ruling, Bishop Smith, in the Methodist Conference on Friday, outlined the position of the church in regard to members who serve the State of South Caroliua aa liquor dispensers. The Discipline is plain in dealing with the question of tem perance, and in spite of individual views, Methodism does not consider the dispensary law a measure which ia oalonlated to promote tho temper ance canse. The church holds that if it ?B wrong to sell whiskey for a private concern it is equally as wrong to handle it for the State, and churoh members, therefore, cannot shield themselves or attempt to uphold their course by pretending to be officers of the law. Tn a way they are, yet at the same time they are openly violating the rules of their denomination, and they must either quit the dispensary or the churoh, because a man cannot serve God and sell liquor. The evil and the principle is the same, whether we work for Gallagher <3b Burton or Chairman Williams and his Board of Control. There are many good men in South Caro lina who would scorn the idea of acceptiug a place in a saloon, but they would not hesitate to go into a j dispensary and dispose of the vile i ~ concoctions whioh have helped to fill the asylums at Columbia with lunatics. They endeavor to defend themselves by the faot that they are public servants, when they are a pub lic nnisance ; but this olaim certainly j j will not hold good with tho Metbo- : , dist church, and unless they resign . . they will be dropped from the roll. I , It requires fine splitting of hairs to | say that it is harmful to work in al bar, but proper to work in a dispen- . sary. In his personal opinion on the sub- ; jeut Bishop Smith said that if a man j should bo elected a dispenser and j was a member of the Methodist ; ' ohuroh ho would nek him to with- j. draw the membership before accept- j ing the whiskey position, and failing to do so he would be brought to trial. '. This seems to be the correct view, ' and whatever the world may think it j I must approve the stand taken by the ' Bishop, especiatty when it remem bers that the church has its own pe culiar laws to govern the liquor trafilo. Moreover, tho public will have just as much regard for a church member who conducts a Hr. loon as it does for a member who ?M the ruling spirit in a dispensary. Tho influence of both is corrupt. While we have no faith in prohibi tion laws, because they do not pro hibit, we do believe that it will never be possible to stop the sale of liquor BO long as men will drink it,. They will get it from some source. Still,! this is not a business in whioh men who olaim to be Christians should engage, and there can be no respect for them if they remain in the ohurch and the dispensary at tho aame time. The conforence should go over the list and dismiss them. Greenville News, December 16. Report from the Reform School. J. 6. Oluck, Superintendent, Prnnty town, W.

The other day two men were go ing by a place where a aeries of brick arches were being built. The arches were only half-way up, and each waa being laid over and round a sort of large, half-circular, wooden box. At the end a further row of wooden boxes showed wh?re tho( next set of arches were to ' a cou-, Btruoted. Tho men stopped P and ? looked at the whole unfinished, awk ward group of wood and briok, and one of them said, smiling, "I never can look at this sort of thing without 1 remembering when I waa a boy, and there was more scaffolding to me than brick. I didn't know iv waa scaffolding; I took it seriously. I expected every friendship to be oternal, and every decision to be final, and every miatake to be irre vocable. How I did worry-and ' over what? All scaffolding, every ' bit of it ! Most of it gone long ago, 1 and what's left I'm getting out aa I build further." "Yes," said the other man, "but ' I'm rather glad I worried over the ( scaffolding, beoause th? briok 1 wouldn't have come out right if I 1 hadn't. When you're through with the scaffolding, of course it Rooms * mere rubbish. But every inoh of it is important till the building gets ' above it." 1 He was right. No first-rate 1 builder ever uses careless scaffolding. ' What is going to be built depends largely on the framework ?arranged * for it. When the building ia done 1 aot one inoh of the original soaffold- ' ing may be left ; but every inoh waB a necessity, none tho less. When arches aro true, and stairs firm, we 1 can be sure that the preparatory * work was good. A weak arch, a 1 jagging wall, testify to tho oontrary. 1 rhe excellence of the scaffolding is a 1 prophesy of the excellence of the building. ( Still, scaffolding is not a thing of beauty, lt is awkward ; it gives 1 ittlo hint, except to the expert, of 1 ihe architecture that will follow. f Voung people have to go through .his "awkward age," and they often mffer acutely from the conscious ness that they are awkward. But .he awkwardness has to be. The roung man who never is awkward ?B iko the fruit that ripens too soon, ' ind rots at the same time. He usu ally has nothing but his easy man- 1 lers. The girl who is in society at ' if teen does not make the noblest 1 tind of woman.

There ia ikoly to be, perhaps, in such young " louis an exaggerated conscientious- 1 less, a crude seriousness of thought, i painful self-distrust and shyness. lint the traits are not in the build- t ng, tho permanent character-they t ire only the inevitable, necessary ^ oaffolding of coming qualities. "The * noughts of youth are long, long .houghts," never for the present, bot c .oward the future, and tho future j done must prove them. ( Youth's present choices and deoi- J uuin; are seldom final, it is trun. I JTet they are often just as important ' is if they were final, for the final I ihoice must be built according to their lines.

When a woman ls sick one falls off in looks. Thia is particularly the case when she suffers from diseases peculiar to her sex. Not only is her strength undermined, but she loses beauty of face and g ra?": of form. It is characteristic of the cures of womanly diseases effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that with restored health there is a restora tion of good look 9. ?Favorite Prescriptionw establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.

Y, honor, rarely ie faithful and honor able in manhood. When we put' away childish things, this earliest scaffolding ie left behind, yoi the earliest courses of masonry, the very foundations of character, have still been laid by ita aid, and show its influ ence. "I never trust Bill Dixon," said one man of another, "because I'vo played marbles with him too often out in Indiana, where we were both' raised." Those who dealt with Bill Dixon found out that his early playmate waa right. Bill's scaffold ing of right and wrong was crooked from the beginning, and his oharaoter built np crooked, and stayed so. The ethics of the play-ground are of a > crude, boyish, and limited oharaoter; they pass away with boyhood ; bnt | they build up the point of honor, and that is the foundation of nobility In the man. It is very real and useful, too, while it lasts, thit* early scaffolding. Older people often make a tremen dous mistake in expecting young people to have mature virtues and mature views of life. They want a building to go up without any scaf folding to offend the eye of the fas tidious. These are the people who abjeot to the enthusiasms of youth, Its high spirits over foolish things, its necessary mistakes, its passionate friendships, its dreams, its restless snergies and hopes. All these things will go in time, and the young mnn or woman will become os old ind staid at forty as the rest of the race. But it is by those same ener gies and enthusiasms that life will ' mvo been built np, and solid work lone. All the new ideas, all the orogress of the world in the next twenty yesrs, is being framed into Me scaffoldings of youth to-day, to >o built up slowly, but surely.

As long as the scaffolding is lound and strong, and carefully con itruoted, t!i? young builder may be trusted-and should be helped, not jritioised.

There have appeared recently some signa of dissatisfaction with the system of publio schools in our coun try, the charge against them being ?that the schools do not teach religion, and that religion ia necessary to character." Cardinal Gibbons, the head of the Rowan Catholic Cbnroh in the United States, ia credited with having oritioised the publio achools on this point; and a Protestant minister of New York saya: "Wo are bringing up all over this broad land a lusty set of young pagans, who sooner or later, they or their childreu, will make havoo of our institutions. Lynchers, labor agitators, and law-breakers generally are human guideposts, with arms, hands, and fingers wide-extended and voices at their loudest, pointing ns to the ruin which awaits society if we persevere in the road which wo are now taking." In view of these charges Tho Outlook (N. Y.) sent inquiries to the presi dents of various colleges throughout the country, asking if in the institu tions over which they preside "any difference ia noticeable in the moral charaotor of young men who come from the publio schools and that of thone whooome from denominational, church, or other private schools." In its issue of November it publishes the replies of nineteen presidents. One reports that "there ia no noticea ble difference in tho mornl oharaoter -but wo do notice a difference in the moral quality." Two others have no data on which to base a reply.' The other sixteen are unanimous in testimony that the oharaoter produced by the training ot" the publio school is equal in moral and religious tone to that produced by other schools. The strength and virtue of our 8ohools, pubHo and private, consists not in the teaching ot any oreed, but in the instilling into the pupils of those moral qualities which over reach all doctrine, and wbioh make for upright living. A great teacher once said, "I would not walk aoross this room to make a Methodist." But the same teacher has spent his life in trying to help mun to righteousness of life. What our country needs is not to abolish public schools, but even to multiply them, and to seo to it that every man and v/o nan who is given charge over a group of children as teacher shall live that righteous life which we covet for the citizen ship of our land. There is a woeful indifference on the part of parents and trustees in many communities as to the moral tone of the teacher whom they are to employ. An nfidel, a ?ci',.tic, an irreligious person, an indifferent, can hardly oultivate in the pupils those deep qualities which lie at the base of every well-founded and well-poised lifo. Goethe maket one of the obaraeters in his great novel, Wilhelm Meister, say, "One thing there is, however, which nc child brings into the world with him and yet it is on this one thing that all depends for making man in ever] point a man." This one thing ii Reverence-reverence on the part o tho child for things above it am things beneath it and things about it The child is more deeply impresset by what the teacher says and doc than by what he teaches while he i in the chair.-The Educational.

New Postal Rule. The postal authorities havo recently issued an order to all postmasters throughout the United States prohibiting tho employees from furnishing informa tion concorning mail matter ovor the telephono. A copy of tito order has boen received here, and from now on persoun who want to find out whether or not this or that package has arrived, or in faot any similar information, will have to visit the post office instead of simply using the telephono. Tho order, which is a good ono, both for the sorvioo and for the employees, is as follows: Post Office Department, Washington. D. C., November 2, 1003 -The attention of the Department hns been called to the common practice that prevails in posi offices where telephones are installed, of answering inquiries made by strangers or by persons whoso voices aro not re cognized by the postmaster or clerk who answers tho telephone, concorning mail matter in the office. Under Soetion 640 Postal Laws and Regulations postmasters and all other* in the postal service are prohibited from furnishing any informa tion concerning mail matter received or delivered except to the porson to whom it is addressed or their authorized agents. Tho attention of all postmasters and postal employees ls oallod to this matter and striotcomplianoo with the regulation ls ?njolned. R. J. Wynne, First Assistant Postmaster General. G O'jMS t' M PT IOKJ' fr? DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION OF I9C4. All Eyes are on Us-The Factions will Make a Strong Fight Now that the Republicans have derided npon the timo and place of their national convention, attention is attraoted to thu meeting of the Democratic national committee, which ia to take place in this city next month for a like purpose. There ia every reason to believe that the consid?rations whioh led to the selec tion of Chicago as the convention city by the Republicans will have weight with the Democrats. In faot the most important question whioh the Democratic committeemen will deoide will be tho date of the conven tion. There is quite a sentiment in favor of fixing the date early in June and before the Republican conven tion, in order to avoid plaoing the Deraoorata in the position of assum ing the defensive. It is said, bowover, that tho unvarying practice baa been to allow tho party in power to hold the first convention, tnakoits nomina tions and adopt ita platform, tho opposing party waiting until thia work has been accomplished. What ever course is pursued, the fact remains that the convention will be well worth attending. Its first roll call will be a series of tributes to favorite sons. It will be the beginning of a great battle for the nomination. National conventions duriug the past twonty years, with the exception of the Democratic gathering at Chicago in 189G, havo been rather tame affairs. Tho nomination of Mc Kinley at St. Louis in that year CMS a foregone conclusion long before the ohairmnn rapped the assembled delegates to order, while at Philadel phia and Kansas City in 1000 the nomination of hi.< Kinley and Bryan was absoNlely assured. At Chicago next year, wnen tho Republicans meet in national convention, they will merely ratify tho now assured renomination of President Roosevelt, and there will be little Lmore than a ripple of intorest as to the cnndidat.e for the second place upon the ticket. With the Democrats, however, the conditions will be vastly different. Not only will there be a battle royal between aspirants for the nomination, but thoro will bo a contest even more spirited and moro bitter for tho suc cess of differing policies and princi ples. On tho one hand, will bo Bryan and his followers, who will insist upon resurrecting the corpse of the sacred ratio of IC to 1 and reviving all the other defeated issues ; while on the other hand, there will be tho conservative Democrats, who wain, to bring thc party back to its old lines, and who know, from sad experience, that there' is no other pathway to success. Everything will depend in the outcome of the convention upon the result of this struggle to dominate the party. And until the?trendof tho convention is known, it will bo almost impossible to predict thu successful candidate. It is said that Bryan will help Mr. Hearst in return for the support given by the latter to Br\an in 1896, when Mr. Hearst's papor was tho only one in the east to stand by tho Demooratio nominee. Mr. Bryan, just before ho left for Europe, made it known that he would be in tho next Demociutio convention, and that ho would fight, first of all, to prevont the nomination of either ox-Prosident Cleveland or Senator Gorman. As Mr. Cleveland has positively withdrawn, Mr. Gorman is tho only remaining target for Mr. Bryan's revenge. A kidney or bladder trouble can always bo cured by using Foley's Kiduey Cure in timo.
