It was worth while making a great effort to see Orange, but nothing no, nothing will ever tempt me to excursionize in such a storm again! It is odd that English folk so rarely visit Orange; but the attractions of Switzerland are too obvious, and the great Schweitzer Hof at Lucerne has more charms for the multitude than the thoroughly French Hotel de la Poste.
Although a great deal has been said in America with regard to the activities of Dr. Schweitzer and his followers, very little has been heard on this side.

McGraw were made chairman and vice-chairman of the committee; Mrs. A meeting of the State Board was called and a committee formed to get as many women as possible to vote in November at the election for President.

A lapse of a week witnessed another contract with the Heyden Chemical Works, a branch of the German house, by which this phenol was purchased for conversion into salicylic acid and other products. To avoid exposing the nature of the deal, Dr. Schweitzer registered as the "Chemical Exchange Association." The profits amounted to nearly a million dollars, half of which belonged to Dr. Schweitzer.
Statements by various prominent Germans, such as Dr. Max Sering, of the University of Berlin, and Dr. Hugo Schweitzer, already referred to, leave no doubt.

SCHWEITZER. The night is far advanced, and the captain has not yet returned. RAZ. And yet he promised to be back before the clock struck eight. SCHWEITZER. Should any harm have befallen him, comrades, wouldn't we kindle fires! ay, and murder sucking babes? A word in your ear, Razmann! Should we not send out scouts? GRIMM. Let him alone.

Is it for this that we have lived in fire and brimstone? To perish at last like rats? GRIMM. But what the devil, comrade, were you after? What were you quarreling about? The captain will be furious.

RAZ. The captain! the captain! CHARLES. I have allowed them to be hemmed in on every side. Now they must fight with the energy of despair. We must fight like wounded boars, or we are utterly lost! SCHWEITZER. Ha! I'll rip them open with my tusks, till their entrails protrude by the yard! Lead on, captain! we will follow you into the very jaws of death. CHARLES. Charge all your arms!
