"IT HAS MADE A NEW MAN OF HIM."
So writes the wife of the Rev. Dr. Sta
ples, of New Canaan, Conn., in a commu
nication to the Methodist Protestant,
Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Staples says :
"My husband ha for the last year and
a half been alllicted with that troublesome
disease Malaria, attended also with Ca
tarrh, which was rapidly growing upon
him. He was so feeble at the session of
our last 4 Conference ' that" he thought a
week or two previous he would not be
able to attend. He commenced inhaling
Compound Oxygen, and put himself fully
under the Treatment at my earnest re
quest, the week before ' Conference,' and
it is astonishing to see its vitalising
effects. It was almost immediately mani
fest in an increase of appetite, which had
been scarce sufficient to sustain him. He
is gradually increasing in strength and
vitality. In fact it has tnade a new man
of him."

GERMAN VOTING.
Bow They ExercUe the Elective Franchise
In Germany.
A striking feature of the German
municipal system is its entire indepen
dence of national politics. No issues
but those arising out of municipal ques
tions are allowed to influence the city
elections. Every male inhabitant twenty-four
yeare old has the right to vote
on municipal question, provided that
he has his household and is not de-
Eendent on father or mother; that he
as not received alms from the public
funds within twelve years; that he occu
pies a house or pursues a trade with
two employes; that he pays an income
tax or a class tax. Cnder one or
another of these live conditions all in
dustrious persons in the city are in
cluded.' T.hat all votes should count
equally is regarded as unbusiuess like.
The arrangement adopted to meet this
point of view is this: Voters are divided
into three classes, each of which elects
one-third of the City Council. To the
.first class are assigned so many of the
largest taxpayers as pay one-third of
the taxes assessed; to the second as
many as in the aggregate pay the sec
ond third of the taxei assessed: to thu
third class belong all not included in
the first and second. Each of the three
classes elects forty-two members of the
Council, its influence upon questions of
finance being kept in strict equality
with its tax payments. The City Coun
cil of Berlin has long beon c inspieuous
for theeducatioual and tinar-c'al .stand
ing of its members. Election to it
is accounted an honor to which the
ablest men in th? city aspire. -XorUum

NO GAME THERE.
The Novel Plan Adopted by Hotel-Keepers
to Protect Themselves from Im
position. 1 would like to have the package I
gave you yesterday," said a guet at
one of the hotels yesterday to the clerk
in charge.
"What kind of a package was it?"
said the hotel man.
" Money," laconically replied the
guest.
'Have vou a check for it?"
"No."
"But I gave you one."
"I guess not"
"Well, we'll see," said the clerk, as
he stepped to the safe and took there
from an envelope on the back of which
w.is pasted a ragged slip inscribed with
the name, or what was left of it, of the
owner.
"This is the package." said the
clerk, " and the name on the slip was
written by yourself. You observe that
the slip on the envelope is torn
in two. The missing portion I gave you
when you left the pat-kage. Perhaps
vou dill not pick it up, but if we ha I it
here it would be found that the two
pieces were originally one, and you
would have no ditliculty in proving
your ownership of the money. How
ever, as I remember your giving me the
package, I will return it to you, but if
I had forgotten the circumstances an l
vou were a stranger I think 1 would
Iiold on to it for awhile."
The guest paid his bill and departed,
and the reporter who witnessed the af
fair sought out an attache of the house
and asked him when such a novel plan
had been adopted to prevent sharpers
from imposing on hotel-keepers.
"It is not original with us." said he.
"but is generally known among the
fraternity. It is a sure preventive
againt swindling on the part of guests,
and in all first-class hotels has ent'rely
superseded the old brass check we
formerly used. The hotel business is a
moit peculiar one in many respects
one of which is the constant dealings
we have with people, who are entirely
unknown to us, and who, perhaps. we
may never see but once. We h'ave
scores of regular customers, it is true,
and they always stop. here whenever
they tome to letr.it, but the stream of
travelers who dailv arrive in the citv
are not ail business men.
strangers who niav stop
Amoii the
at this hoti'l
are undoubtedly many who. if they can
capture a few stray dollar by a slick
triek will not hesitate to do so, and if
we did not use every possible means to
prevent swindling, we might sometimes
get tripped up and lose large sums of
money. The paper slip whi.-h you saw
on the envelope Is the best and only
sure way we have of circumventing any
attempt which may be made to swindl.
us out of money packages which have
been left in our charge for safe keep
ing, and I will show Vou whv this is th-.
case.
"Hardly a day in the year passes but
we are requested by a greater or less
number of guests to take charge of
their valuables wlrle they remain wit'i
us. We take the articles and, w,app".ng
tlit-ni securely iu a package, seal it up
in the presence of the owner. This
done, he is requested tr writ : his name
on a slip of paper, which is torn in two
in an irr. gular manner, one-half being
given to tne guest and the other por.ioa
pasted on the package, which is put in
the safe. When the gue-t is leaving
and asks to have his property returned,
he must produce the slip of paper we
r:ive him in order to identify himself.
Tue piece he gives us and the piece on
the package are then phve I together,
and if they match, as they certainly
s!:ouId, he gets his valuables, and wo
say no more about it. The safety con
sists ia the fact that a swindler, no
matter how cute he may Im can not
tear a piece of paper so that it will cor
respond with the piece on the package.
You might try a million tims, but you
would fail to accomplish it, beeau-e it
can not be done, except after a pattern,
and even then it would take much
longer to do it than we keet the pack
ages in our possession.
Witn the old heck system it is al
together different, because it is an easy
matter for any one to get one of the
hotel checks and have a duplicate made,
it only being necessary to have the num
ber of the duplicate correspond with
that of the check in the safe. If a guest
leaves his money with us and we pay it
out to the wrong man that is our loss,
and if when the owner presents h's
check for the properly we tell him that
he has it already, lie would laugh at us,
and if the matter was taken into the
courts he would have no difliculty in
getting judgment for the anion ut. So
you see we can't be anj too careful in
handling property that does not belong
to us. 31ore especially when our gue ts
are nearly all strangers."
"Have you ever been beaten out of
any considerable; amount in the way you
mention?"'
"Xo, we have been fortunate in that
respect, and never have lost a cent tin
der either the brass-check or slip sys
tems. But other hotel proprietors have
not been as lucky as we have, and there
are numerous instances where they have
been mulcted by guests. A case'of this
kind appeared at the St Nicholas Ho
tel in New York only a short time ago,
and still another at St. Louis. Mo. In
both instances the losses were quite
heavy, and the hotel proprietors had to
make them good, but if ihev had us. d
the slip racket, as we do, there woul I
have been no trouble. You can see for
yourself how easy it is to beat a man
who uses the cheek system. Take the
coat and hat rooms, for instance. Here
the customers are so numerous that it
keeps the coat-boy hustling aiound
to attend to them, and he can not re
member the faces of all those who leave
their wearing apparel in his care, and
we can not use the slips, because guest--might
object to having the linings of
their coats and hats disfigured ana be
smeared with mucilage and biU of
paper. The boys are liable to make
mistakes that the slip system would ob
viate, and is like the 'mercury in the
thermometers, some men will descend
so low they can readily have duplicate
checks made and capture overcoats and
hand-sachels. But I'll bet a thousand
to a nickel that the slip system will baf
fle the smartest conlidence man that
ever attempted to work a hctel safe,
and any landlord who is fool enough to
continue to use brass or any kind of
checks on valuable packages when he
can adopt a safeguard protecting him
self from any loss in this way deserves
to be swindled as often as is necessary
to bring him to his senses." Detroit

flow . nil Presence In Community De
vastates It.
The gamblers of New York have led a
precarious and on the whole a wretched
existence for two or three years past
These places have been raided by both
the public and private police, and when
ever the attitude of the law is decided
toward them they read the handwriting
on the wall and take a holiday. .Per
haps the least self-satisfied countenances
to be seen around our hotels and public
resorts are the old gamblers who long
had complete immunity, and to this day
preserve a little hold on the police and
even the police justices. Cases are not
infrequent of gamblers sitting on our
minor benches or being clerks" of the
courts, nence a certain latent sym
pathy in the prosecution of these men
and even on their being surprised. The
best thing the gambler can do to satisfy
himself is to get out of the business al
together. The occasional funds of
money he raises by his dangerous and
outlawed trade hardly ever stay by him,
and a good deal of it goep to the police
and lawyers and other parasites who
hold vice to be their natural banker and
side patron. Our hotels are also often
indifferent to the presence of the gam
Ming community right among their
guests, and it seems to me to be a poor
thing to do with a guest who comes to
town with money which he might other
wise spend in the proper office of hospi
tality, to allow him to be taken in band
by some gambler's roper-in and escorted
to some place in the neighborhood
where he can be picked clean and has
to draw his check, more or less uncer
tain, to pay his bill and get speedily out
of town.
A sufficient number of gamblers will

THE FIRST THREE PRESIDENTS
Who Married Widows and Why They Cain
to Ho So.
It is a curious fact that the first three
Presidents married widows. The stories
of their courtships abound in romance.
Dollv Madison's parents were Virginia
Quakers, who freed their slaves and
went to Philadelphia to live. Here at
nineteen, Dolly, a demure Quakeress,
married John Todd, a Quaker lawyer,
who died when she was twenty-three,
and left her a pretty widow. In less
than a vear she married again, and this
time a Mr. Madison, who was a mem
ber of Congress. She was thirty-seven
fears old when her husband became
'resident
Jefferson's wife had been a widow
four years when she married him, and
she was only thirty-seven years old at
that time. She was ten years Jefferson's
wife, and in that period had had six
children by him before she died in 1782.
It is said that she was mueh courted,
and two of Jefferson's rivals met on her
doorstep a day or two before the latter' s
engagement. They heard sounds of
music within, and soon found that Jef
ferson was singing a love song to the
young widow while she played an ac
companiment Sn the harp. They con
cluded not to press their suit, and left
their love untold.
George Washington was a Colonel on
his way to Williamsburg, the old capi
tal of Virginia, when he was stopped
by an old planter friend and asked to
stay overnight He replied his busi
ness was urgent, and a stoppage of any
kind was impossible. His friend then
cited the virtues and beauties of a beau
tiful widow of twenty-six years who was
paying with him, in such glowing terms
that Colonel Washington decided to
take dinner and see the paragon. He
was so delighted that he staid all night,
and on the way back became engaged
to her. This was Madam Custis, whose
maiden name was Martha Dandridge.

daughter was ten years of age she was
seriously attacked by extreme kidney dis

year ago was again prostrated. She was
swollen to twice her natural size, had fre
quent headaches, nausea, and other dis-
Eiised symptoms of the disorder. All her
ouisvule physicians agreed that she
could not recover. Her case and treat
ment were telegraphed to a New York

possible. Last August we began to treat
her ourselves, and now, wholly through the
influence of Warner's Safe Cure, she is
