THE INrER-CONTINENrAL.


WAsHINGToN, d. c., April Eek
Senator Henry G.. Davis, Of West Vir-
ginia has been in the city couple Of
days attending to business connected
with the Inter-Contlnental Railway
Commission. of which he is President.
This railway scheme is an Outgrowth OF
the Pan-American Congress, and the
road is intended to run along
the backbone OF the Continent
through Mexico, Central America and
South America, connecting all the
countries to the South OF us with the
nited States.
Not much faith was put in the pro-
ject at first. but EX-Senrtor Davis has
gone at it in dead earnest, and as he is
practical railroad man he has already
got IL into promising shape. He said to
the REGISTER spondent to-day:
Two civilian parties and one
military crowd have already
gone South. Everything looks
propitious, and we are hoping for
speedy success. There is nothing
dubious in the manner of the Central
and South American Governments
Many Of them are enthusiastic: all be-
have most encouragingly. You see,
they want this railroad as much as we
do, as they are giving all possible
assistance. Parties OF local engineers
will accompany our parties from point
to point"

Commander Reiter's Reinstatement

WAsHINGToY, April 29.-Secretary
Tracy was to-day asked why Com
mander Reiter, after being relieved
from command OF the Ranger and repri-
manded, Us a result OF his conduct in
the Barrundia affair, had been given
command of the L. ). ). Thetis. The
Secretary said in response that the
order to Commander Relter did not indi-
cate the slightest modification OF the
position taken in the letter OF cenSure.
The public discussion OF the Secre-
tary's letter. and every fact that had
come 10 his knowledge since, confirmed
the views expressed in that letter. The
present detail OF Commander Reiter was
for purely scientific duty not connected
With the naval squadron. The duty TO
which he was assigned consisted In
completing the photographic survey
which had been begun 10y him over a
year ago. 1t was the duty OF the de-
partment to utilize the services OF its
officers to the best advantage. and no
other officer was equally available Tor
the service. The Thetis. which the Of
ticer is to command. is not Il man-of-
war: it does not carry a signal gun.

Keep Early Hours.

It is known fact among physicians,
nurses and those generally interested
in the restoration of health that tho
percentage of women among the middle
and upper classes who retire early 10
alarmingly small, says the Jenness-
Miller Magazine. The term alarm
ingly is used advisedly, because the
growing tendency to keep late hours
cheats nature out Of her just dues and
compels her to retaliate in a manner
that often threatens not only health.
but life, most seriously.
There are few women so constituted
but that the wear ana tear of daily life
consumes to a great extent their vital
ity; which can only be restored by
means of perfect repose.
Especially are long, unbroken hours
OF rest necessary for wives and moth
ers, ALI OF whom are giving OF their
strength unreservedly and getting little
physically in return save that which is
derived from sleep.
The growing tendency OF the ago
toward physical culture training is not
we'll sustained in the late hours so uni,
versally kept by many OF the most en-
thusiastic advocates OF that movement.
Those who earnestly desire to use the
most effective means at hand for tho
preservation of health and beauty.
should rot fail to keep early hours.
