THAT OO-EOOT LAW

The decision of the supreme court of
appeals in the case of Hodges VS.. the
Seaboard and Roanoke railroad in sus.
tanning the G0-foot law may be GOOD
law; undoubtedly is, but if strictly con-
'strued, will be far-reaching and para
Lying in its effects. II was adopted in
1887, when the present extent of rail-
road development was undreamed of.
Under the decision no railroad can
enter town provided a single person
dwelling in its pathway objects. There
is strong reason for supposing that the
daw will be equally operative against a
street railway or any other common
carrier.
AS result of tho decision the Sea-
board and Roanoke Company has sus-
pended work on its depot and terminal
facilities in Portsmouth. The next Leg
islaturo will have an important duty to
perform in wiping out this ANTIGUA
and obstructive piece OF legislation.

"If you haven't and want to witness
novelty in tho massage business just
come along with me-"
In few minutes the elderly gentle
man was lying on hard couch, COM
plctcly disrobed, but decently covered
with linen cloth from his chin to tho
tip of his toes. There entered with ORR
entail stcalthincss of tread a young
Japanese, who ut once removed his coat,
and, knceling beside the couch, seized
the old gentlcman's nrm and com
menced to knead the muscles In an ana
tomical sort of way. Then he fiexcd the
shoulder joint, tho elbow joint, tho
wrist joint, and finally drew out each
finger joint till it clicked back into the
socket with snap.
Every limb was thus treated, and then
the Japanese went over all the largo
muscles of the back, the loins, the ribs,
tho neck In She same way. When he
came to the palms Of the hands he dug
his elbows into them and ''kneadcd"
them rs II they had been bread. There
was something marvelously dexterous
about the way in which he traced the
course of each muscle and soothingly
fcxed the weary ligamcnts
Whom the operation was finished the
old gentleman arose and said: "Let me
tell you, tho Japanese have gotten on
to this 'lomi-lorni' business surprisingly.

kind hero, but every traveller in the
Pacific islands knows what it means.

you how it has affected me? When 1

was fatigued to the verge of exhaustion.

couch as readily as a twenty-ycar-old

Mr.. Williams was seen at his residence

Known by Their Hats.

A man who knocks about q great
deal and is a close observer said re-
Gently to u Chicago Tribune reporter:
There is n man in this town who
makes living out of the manufacture
of hat Innings. He has stamps of all
the leading hat houses in this city and
New York and Paris. You know, may
be, that a man is often known by the
hat he wears. There are few hat men
whose names take the lead, and the
young men who want to appear as if
they were near the head of the pro-
cession get the Innings of these we'll
known hat manufacturers from the man
of whom just told, and he puts them
In cheap hats. The customer turns up
his hat, then, whenever he takes it off,
and shows the stamp Of well-known
house, and thus, in some circles, he
establishes himself without the assist
nncc OF any letters. The hat lining
does it."

THE OLD NAVY.
flow American Scamen of n Former Cen
crntiOn Handled Their Guns.

How American Scamen of n Former Cen
Grafton Handled Their Guns.
The proficiency of American gunncry,
says n writer in the Century, is perhaps
best Illustrated by the Constitutions
first action with the Guerrero, in which
she was hullcd but three times, while
her antagonist, to use the words of her
commander, was reduced to perfect
wreck" within forty minutes from the
time the Constitution began to fire.
This battle occurred on August 10, 1912.
In her action with the Java, Deccm-
Der 49, 1912, off the coast of Brazil, the
Constitution was hulled but four times,
and with the exception of her maintop-
sail yard she did not lose n spar. Tho
Jaw, on the other hand, was "totally
dismasted," while her hull was so shat
tered and pierced with shot holes that
it was impossible to get her to the har-
Dor Of San Salvador, which was only a
few hours sail
In her action with the Cyane and
Lcvant the forces opposed were: Con-
stitution, flfty-one guns, with 1887
pounds of metal; British, f1fty-fivc guns,
with 1,5Os pounds of metal. In this ex-
traordinary action the Constitution was
hulled only thirteen times, while the
Cyanc had every brace and BOWLING cut
away, her main and mizzen masts left
in lettering state, and other principal
spars wounded, several shots in the
hull, nine or ten between wind and
water" The Lcvant also was roughly
handled.
Before dislnissing the subject Of gun
merry we should take into considerations
~ The inferior quality of American
cannon and shot; ~ the deficiency in
weight of American shot; (3) the fact
that in two of the four actions between
single frigatcs the English used French
cannon and shot, which were eight per
cent. heavier than their nominal En-
glish equivalents.

Kelly and Eyler are still in jail.
Their fair friends visit them cont;nu-
ously. They pine for liberty and de-
clare if ever they get out they will all
do better. The bogus Mrs. Eyler was
forced to change her boarding house and
is now preparing to leave the city. She
is under many obligations to the six
young men who became responsible for
her fine.
Mrs. Atkinson is waiting patiently
for the money, and is making ready to
leave also. Her stay has not been n
pleasant one by any means. She is
making no effort to get Kelly out of
Jail. Kelly claims he doesn't want her
to get him out. lie expects his father
from Altoona or $3.50. II the latter
comes he don't want to see tho former
unless he is armed with the cash.
People say Mrs. Atkinson is a great
schemer, and will make the Kellys
come to time. Old man Kelly borrowed
the money she received from a damage
suit on account of her husbands death
1t is thought she will force an issue on
this matter and capture Young Kelly
yet. Eyler will probably remain in jail

Band ut Washington is most curious.
Nearly hundred years ago, says the

kidnapped strolling troop of mu-
sicians on the shores of the Bay of
Naples and brought them to this coun-
try. From this handful Of Italians tho
band was developed. The descendants
OF these stolen Italians are now among

A SAMPLE MANIFEST.

The general Importance of the South
American trade which will be opened
up by Mr.. blaine's reciprocity treaties
can be seen only by close scrutiny and
careful study. The manifest of the last
cargo of the Brazilian mail steamer.
Finance, shows invoices Of goods valued
at 100000, of the most miscellaneous
character. The steamer touches at
seven Brazilian ports, its American
landings being at New York and New
port News.
In its cargo were kegs of lard from
Ohio, glassware from New Jersey. SOAP
from Illinois, corn-shellers from Michi-
gan, telephone supplies from Pcnnsyl-
vania, rosin and turpentine from North
Carolina, blue drillings from Georgia,
fibre presses from Wisconsin, bacon
from Indiana, wheat starch from Kan
sas, flint paper from New Hampshire,
cotton and Oil from South Carolina,
petroleum, wheclbarrows, bird cages,
cotton goods, butter, hay, general no.
tions and a hundred other articles from
over twenty States.
1t is plain case that every section
of the Union profits by tho South Amer
lean trade. 1t is equally plain, then,
that laws which will foster and promote
this traffic will benefit all parts OF the
country.
