Charles A. Dana.

With the death Of Charles A. Dana
'American jOurnalism has lost its great-
est 1111.1 foremost mind. His career has
been long, stormy and strikingly suc-
cessful. The labors he now rests from
have been severe, strenuous and extra-
ordinarily efiicient. He has made a
great newspaper, a newspaper which
not a few. call the greatest. He has
most boldly and effectively fought dis-
honesty, hypocrisy and sham. He has
just as boldly and effectively fought
what he considered to be honest error.

it was , this spirit of manliness,
straightforwardness, and fixedness of
pol-peso that has made Charles A. Dana
11 man to be admired.

The editoral page of the Sun has
been a factor in Campaigns. In partic-
ular was this true Of the last Presi-
dential campaign when the Sun set the
pace for hundreds of Democratic news-
papers who refused tO sustain the Chi-
cago platform.

Mr. Dana has been on the wrong side
Of public questions, but he has much
oftener been on the right side Of them.
In the great contest with slavery and
disunion and in other great contests
. that have followed that one he has
been a tower Of strength for the right.
His powerful and patriotic services in
the last great political struggle are
still fresh in the minds of all who were
encouraged and helped by them

Mr Dana made some bitter enemies
during his long and sometimes savage
fighting. But the enmity he excited
will be quieted and ashamed in the
presence of death. His great servmes
to his country and his fellow men will
be generally conceded and commended.
His absolute superiority in the news—
paper field will be acknowledged, and
his work for good literature praised.
All will join in this. And those who
knew him intimately and worked with
him in friendliness and confidence will
mourn the loss of a staunch friend and
a sure guide. He was kind and just to
those who helped him make the Sun
what ‘it is, and they iwill remember
him with love and gratitude. He is
sure of fame. He is also sure of sweet
remembrance.

FRANK L. STANTON.

The Optimistic Poet of the Atlanta Con-
stitution.

A correspondent writesz—It was in
the Atlanta Constitution office that I
met Frank L. Stanton, whose poems
are now quoted in nearly every news-
paper of the land. He writes a half—
column of bright paragraphs and verse
every day- for the paper, and at the
same time turns out first-rate political
editorials. Mr. Stanton is a dark-
faced, bright-eyed young man of about
38 years of age. His hair is not long
and his black eye, in ordinary con-
versation at least, is not “in frenzy
rolling.” He has, however, [the soul
of a poet. He is the James Whitcomb
Riley of the south, and his book,
“Songs of the Soil,” has had a very
generous circulation. Stanton was
brought up on Methodist hymns. His
mother made him learn one every Sun-
day, and he can recite the hymn book
from one end to the other. He began
his life work as an errand boy in the
Office of the Savannah News when
Joel Chandler Harris was one of its
editors. He. rose to be a reporter, and
soon began to write verse. Later on
he edited a country newspaper, and his
poems in it were Widely copied. Then
the Constitution took him on its staff,

and now at 38 he is as widely quoted
as any writer of the United States. His
poetry is simple, tender. and full Of
soul. It has cheered many a poor
man and woman, and thousands have
dropped tears while reading some of
his sadder poe.. .3. Mr. Stanton is a.
poet of hope rather than despair. I-Iis
verse is stimulating and helpful, and
he looks on the right side of'things;

During my call upon him I asked
him to write me something for this

letter. In reply he penned 'the two'
little poems which follow. The first
reads: '

Oh, the future sky is the bluest sky,
With never a cloud in view;

But the sky tO-day is the truest sky,
And that is the sky for you!

The second poem is more in dialect.
It reads:
This world that we’re a-livin’
Is purty hard to beat;
. You get a thorn with every rose,
But—ain’t the roses sweet? 1

The Pickpocket’s Death.

It is an evident fact that the body,
when it has long been a slave to evil
passions, finds, it nextto. impossiblento
break its chains. The mind may pas-
sionately desire righteous living, but
the abused nervous system, fallen into
iron habits, refuses the soul’s behest.

Canon Gore writes that the was once
present. it the death- bed of a. pick—
pocket, 21 man who professed himself

' 'to be since1e1y penitent, and who be-

lieved in the forgiveness of sins.

He ,had said good-by to this world,
and the clergyman sat by his side
waiting for his last moment to come.
Suddenly the sinking man exclaimed
in a boats and painful whisper:

“Look out for your watch!”

They were his last words. He had
rlied in their utterance, and the clergy-
man’s watch was found in his lifeless
hand. He had not been able tore-
sist the nearness of an article that
Could be_ stolen. His enfeebled will
could not prevent the muscles from
falling into their old habits; but his

tested to the last.———Youth’s Com«'

Visitors on board war Vessels in the
navy yard will very likely on among
the sailors scattered about the decks
smoking, talking and so on, a sailor
at work With a sewing machine. It is '
1. hand machine and has a pretty heavy
base, so that it can, be set down on
deck and worked casily without shift-
ing its position.

The machine is owned by the man
working it. On a big ship like, for ex-
ample, the battle-ship Indiana, carry-
ing a crew of 400 men or more, there
would probably be found as many as
a. 'dozen sewing machines; on a third-
rate cruiser, a smaller vessel, there
would be apt to be four or five sewing
The machines are Oftenest
owned by sailmakers and sail-makers’
mates, but they may be owned by the
sailors; any man on the ship might
have a sewing machine if he wanted
to. Space is valuable on a vessel, and
so only hand machines are allowed,
and to bring a machine aboard per-
mission must be got from the com-
manding oflicer. It is not to be sup-
posed that every man in the ship
would want a sewing machine; as a
matter of fact, comparatively few men
do; and those who want to take one
aboard are not likely to find any diffi-
3u1ty in the way.

A sailor who has a sewing machine
makes and repairs garments for him-
self and he does work for others for
pay. There are not so many sewing ma-
3hines on the vessels of the new navy
is there were on those of the old; the

draws more completed articles from
the Government, but there is still
plenty of work to be done aboard ship

ey to be made with them yetx—New

How TO l-fmn OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
Of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladde‘r are out of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so

fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It .
