hours during each day. Tickets for these
meals are sold In packages Of 100 for s.

for charity and refuses a meal ticket. he is
put down as an imposter.

Beautiful Hair.

FROM J. A. TYNEs, A WE'LL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife l have induced a number
to try it, and 1 want you to send me a
dozer bottles by express. l enclose
postoffice order for SO to pay for it.
London Hair Color Restorer is sold at

as a whole, very profitable investments,
although they include $l25, 900 invested 10
10 the Corcoran Art Gallery. There are
some very iue pieces in the Government
collection, but one-half of them at least
were purchased for some other reason than
their artistic excellence, and for nearly all
of them extravagent prices were paid.
The hideous nude statue ofsW ashington,
opposite the eastern portico OF the Capital,
cost $42, 1904. For equestrian statue of
Washington, which stands at the intersec-
ton of Pennsylvania avenue, K. and Twen-
ty-second streets. the enormous price OF
$58.27O was paid. Clark Mills equestrian
statue of Jackson, which stands in lata-
yette Square, opposite the Executive Man
sion, cost only $2S,442, and is far superior
as a work of art The Scott statue, which
stands at the intersection of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island avenue, and better than
either, cost as much as both, 1000, or
about three times as much as it is worth
Lincoln statue, 10 front Of the City Hall

Our Militia.
SEMINOLE.

The Legislature is now CONSIDERING Adiu-
tant General Latta's Militia bill, which we
hope is good one, but as we have not seen
a copy Of it, we cannot give ..any opinion up
on it. The militia is in such great need of
reorganization, that we cannot imagine any
change that would make it worse. Before
We can have such a system as we require,
the people as well as our lawmakers. must
understand that an armed police force is an
absolute necessity to the State, and, that to
make it efficient, the men who agree to fit
themselves to face mobs and other dangers,
must be paid for their services. 1t requires
no great force as regards numbers, but it must
be well disciplin ID, drilled and commanded,
and encouraged in that esprit de corps that is
really the foundation of an efficient soldiery.
The States which have the best militia
system are Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York, where the organization is COM
pact and the discipline strict the rank and
file are clothed at the expense of the State,
and both officers and men paid for their ser
vices. The men are taught how to use their
arms, without which knowledge soldiers are
Of little use. These States spend money
enough on their militia to make them eff
cient. In Massachusetts the cost per man,
in 1876, was $2j,S3 in Connecticut, S29.ll,
and in New York, S2347. Pennsylvania is a
cheap system, and in consequence has but lit
tie efficiency and no respect from the people.
In 10 ,1oa baip
money for good article, but when they re-
ceve in retun a very inferior one, they find
fault with the smallest outlay. The cheap
ness Of our system is readily seen when We
mention the fact that it cost the State but
500 per man a year the rank and file buy
ing their own uniforms, aud on all days of
drill and parade paying their own expenses.
The organization is loose and unwieldy, with
a skeleton large enough for an army of one
hundred thousand men. Ten major generals
with full statis and all the other panoply of
war which dazzles the public on field days,
have commands only averaging few hundred
men each. There are divisions without brig
AIDES, brigades without regime nts. regiments
without con panits. aud companies almost
without men but whether there are soldiers
or not the complement of officers is complete,
bringing to mind the regiment raised in
South Carolina during the war, which had
nine hundred and uiuety-nino officers and
one man, The discipline is as lax as the
system is disjoincd and although there
were many violations during the late distur-
bance, there have been no arrests aud courts
martial When the disobedent soldier is
shielded from the proper punishment, it will
not be long before there will be none who are
obedient. Without discipline an army is a
mob, and subsequent obedience cannot be
purchased by exeusing present offences.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1878-02-08
BIAN AND DEMOCRAT OOMsBURG, COLUMBIA COT My PI

In any reorganization Of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, the following features
should be Incorporated to make the system
efficient.
1. The active force should consist of at
least 10000 officers and men-to be organized
into three brigades, according to army regu'
lations and commanded by one major general
and three brieadicrs.
2. The time OF enlistment to be five years,
a small bounty to be paid to each recruit, and
after their honorable discharge at the end of
five years they are to be exempt from jury
duty and tax on $500 worth of real estate.
g. The rank and file to be armed equipp-
ed and uniformed by the State officers and
men to be paid for given number of days
drill and camp duty each year, and TO be sub
sisted while in camp.
Sd The law to provide for annual target
practice in each regiment or brigade, and the
army regulations to be made part of the mil.
itary code.
A system that embraces these features, and
faithfully carried out, will give the State an
efficient militia. 1t will cost the State little
over 5000, 600 year. -Doylestowa Democrat.

fRiGnTFuL LOSS or LIFE,
STEAMER METROPOLIS STRANDED WHILE
BOUND roE rARA, BRAZIL.
About one Hundred Lives Lest in a Furious
Southeast Gale at Currituek.

NORFOLK, Va, January 8l.--At $50 this
afternoon the steamship Metropolis, from
Philadelphia for Para, Brazil, went ashore
on Currituck beach, three miles south of the
light house, during the prevalence of fur
ious southeast gale. Great confusion pre-
vailed on board Owing to the fury of the
gale and the roaring of the surf the orders
of the officers could not be heard. About
fifty of the passengers and crew were washed
ashore. About one hundred are believed to
be lost From some OF the sailors who ar
rived ut one Of the signal stations it appears
that the vessel had encountered heavy gales
from the southeast for the last twenty-iour
hours. When she struck she was heading
about south southeast. The vessel swung
broadside to the surf, which made a COM
plete break over her aud washed many Of
the people overheard into the sea.

A REFORM NEEDED-It is becoming
palmer every day that change in our Court
policy is necessary Why should twenty
four Grand Jurors and forty eight Traverse
Jurors spend another half day in trying a
dog fight, or an assault and battery case.
Look at the. cost to the taxpayers Serenity
dollars for Jury fees alone in one petty case,
besides the time of the Conrt and the Off
GERS charges. x Ciearfeid Republican.
Our County is subject to the same evils.
One Hundred Dollars of costs were made
last Court because a man picked up three
hemlock boards in the highway worth about
fifteen cents, and the larceny of some buck.
wheat in Pine township will cost the County
at least $500. We do not mean that crimi-
mails should escape, but there should be a
more speedy and less expensive machinery
for the trial Of petty cases, many of which
are instigated by feelings of revenge

Justice Bradley and the Returning Board.

WASHINGTON, February 3.-Justice Brad
ley has finished his decision in the Returning
Board case, in which he refuses to grant the
writ of certiorari for the transition to the Uni
ted States Court. This decision sets forth
that the Returning Board makes application
for the writ on ground of prejudice and ina.
bility to secure their rights and the fact that
the jury law of 1877 is hostile to colored citi-
zens Justice Bradley says that in the jury law
of 1877 there is nothing open to Constitu-
tional objection and also that prejudice is not
such case as warrants transfer, Neither
the fourteenth amendment nor the civil right,
bill were violated, There is no State legisla
tiou trouble to either. The application il
refused, and the only remedy is to appeal af'
ter the verdict.
