NEWELL'S
Pulmonary Syrup

Tell me not in moulnful numbers
Lie is sinking to decay;
Should there come in frightful numbers,
U er your heads the silvery gray.
Life is real, life is earnest.
Why should any one despair:
dust thou art. to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the hair.
Not the marks ofage or sorrow.
On your tresses long should stay
1ou can live that each tomorrow
Finds them darker than to day
Time is long. but age shall find you.
Though your hair with lustre wave
Soon when fading twill remind you
You are marching to the grave.
In the worlds sublimer calling.
Where we each our race must run,
Ifyour hair lie falling, falling.
Use the "Martha Washington"
Trust no other, howe'er pleasant
None can do what this has done:
Try it-always keep it present
Use the Martha Washington"
Twenty thousand heads remind us
What noble test it's stood
Million more shall come behind us
With their treSScS all renewed

PRINCESS OF WALES.

The Princess Of Wales has her third
baby, Il daughter, born on Wednesday,
February 70. She has been married
not four years, and has three children,
which is doing as well rs could be- ex-
pected-as she is doing now.-Dis-
putch
If the above information is given t.
the world for the purpose of proving
that the Princess of Wales is an honest
woman, then we say it is all right.
But we suspect that the operator, or
some one else, did il with the view of
scandalizing this lady. We sec no
reason why Princess, if she is honest,
may not have childrcn-and as many
of them as any other good woman
without some pup of an operator send
ing il broadcast over the country i'm
the shape of a slur. To throw these
sliirs at women who bear children is tn
stigmatise our mothers who gave us
birth; and for one, we propose TO de-
fcnd the women against the attacks of
any little, dirty curs.

RIOT IN MOBILE.

Judge Kelly attempted to speak in
Mobile ON the 1ith of May. After
speaking about fifteen minutes. the
Democratic rowdies ON the outskirts
began To hiss him and cry, put him
down." Judge Kelly then remarked
that they could not put him down As
the 18th Infantry lay AT his back. \
rush was made by these despcradoes
toward the stand where the Judge
was speaking. The Chief OF Police
attempted 20 arrest the rinclcadcr and
drew his pistol on him, when a cry of
fire was given. The fire bells immc-
,liately commenced tolling, nj which
time there was general attack.
Firing commenced in Ill parts of the
city; ncrrocs wcfc shot down without
plesCnee 10 where they were or who
thev were. Several white men were
lil.cd or wounded. At the latest ac-
-sounts II had not Yet been a-certaincd
Tic nIn.ber Of blacks killed or wound
ell There A. no doubt hui -tffS not
WIS grecl upon before Judge Kelly
commenced speaking, for ns soon a.
ihc fac hells commenced ringing,
pistol and gun shots We're ared from
windows at the blacks al over the
city. Every man shot was murdered
In cold blood with prcmeditated
.inaiicc. Evcsy man interested in n
should be hung Tor murder.
An effort was afterward made 70 in
ducc judge Kelly to speak, hut me re-
fused. We think he did right. let
the people OF Mobile bear the odium
of nIobisng public speakers who hap
pea 10 diiler with the rabble in their
political views.

the grading was equal Co that OF the
BloomingSport Road, and where the
gravel wa fully ~ remote from the
linc. have estimates made at but little
over half that on the Bloomingsport
Road. The estimate on the Decrficld
Road was by the same Engineer, and
j. only 600 per mile. We will soon
be able 10 furnish the estimates made
OF the other lines, and we believe that
none will he greater than the one
made ON the Decrfield Road. Either
mistake was made ON that line, or
else very great one on the Blooming
sport Road. The cost Of grading per
mile will he about the same. The
only difference there can be Is In the
distance they have to haul the gravel.
Take out two or three miles in the
center and the gravel will cost no
more Oh one road than the other.
We are sorry the report was pub
lished or even offered for publication,
rs we believe severcr blow could not
have been given against the building
of pixies than this reported cost per
mile, and especially 10 such companies
rs were attempting To build under the
law of 1865.
Now we do not charge that the re-
port was false, but We can not recon-
ellie the estimate OH the Decrfield Road
with the one made on the Blooming.
sport line. We trust, with the light OF
facts and the general interest he has
i'm the Improvement If the country,
he will explain the reason for this i'm
mcnsc difference ($I 1907 per mile,
where the character of the lines oil
road are about equal, while the differ
encc i'm lcngth IL not over one mile
and the difference i'm the distance t.
Ia haul the gravel, on IN average, will
not exceed half mile.
Now, if we are right, how is il thai
one line of road costs $4,000 per mil,
while the other only costs $1,000 Il
the people OH that line of road are OPP
posed TO building pike, let them say
so, and not drive n plug in the enter
prise 10 Kill IL, but abandon it man
fully, ifsuch a thing can be done.
We have no more interest in tho
building of this road than any other
but VIC have pride in doing whatevcl
we undertake, unless we find it inn
practicable or wrong.
We trust the Secretaries of pix,
companies will send us the estimate.
of the cost of building their pixies, a:
we desire that the people should hay,
light, - there has generally been an
understanding that this class of road,
would not cost over -, 300 or II, COO pei
