TariTIn the Senate.

At this writing the Wilson tariff bill
has not been placed before the senate
either as originally framed in accordance
with the mandates of the president, as
amended in the house subcommittee,
amended by the house ways and means
majority, as amended by the house it
self, as amended and reamended by the
subcommittee of the senate finance COM
mittee. After its varied career and man.
fold holdings it is doubtful whether the
original Trainer president Cleveland) of
the measure that "has been prepared on
the lines suggested in his message" will
be able to recognize his own offspring,
and it may be that the infant will dis
claim the parent.
Almost 10 months have elapsed since
the presidential elections of 1892. By the
time the tariff monstrosity can have been
discussed by the senate, be recommitted
to the house and finally become law there
will be less than six months intervening
before the next general congressional
elections.
Should the tariff be changed it will be
fully three years before its free trade
features can be obliterated. We believe
that the best interests of the country and
of the people will be best served by pro-
hibiting the passage of any new tariff
bill until after the elections in November
next. Give the people further chance
to declare themselves at the polls.
Every legitimate effort should be made
in the senate and elsewhere by all friends
of protection to stop the further progress
Of the so called Wilson bill. After the
policy of prostration has been dragging
itself along its destructive course for a
year and more the news of postponement
of the tariff question till after the next
elections would be welcomed with shouts
and hailed with joy in every corner of
the land. The wheels of commerce
would .revolve, labor would be busy, and
the voice of the people would be decisive
In November that protection must stand.

HOW TO LOOK YOUNG.
The Face May BE Much Improved by Prop
err Exercise.

The Face May BE Much Improved by Prop
err Exercise.
The facial muscles especially, which
are apt to be almost if not entirely neg
lected, may be so developed that face
that had already dropped into the I'M
becoming lines Of age will assume again
the rounded curves of comparative
youth. The following exercises are rec
commended for filling out and develop
ing the muscles of the face First, smile
as broadly as you can; then place three
fingers on the punched up portion of the
cheek and allow the features suddenly
to relax, raising the fingers at the same
time. Continue to do this until tired.
The fingers should be placed high OF
the cheek bone, SO that the muscles
when smiling will push against them,
thus giving the desired resistance, which
is necessary to the enlargement of the
tissue.
The second exercise is to again smile
broadly, but this time, instead of allow
ing the corners of the mouth to be curv-
ed upward, try to draw them out in a
straight line toward the center of the
checks; then place the two thumbs one
on each corner of the mouth and work
the corners backward and forward by
relaxing and contracting the mouth.
Exercise No. is with the chin. Press
the lower lip upward, and it will tc
seen that the chin will be raised and
become hard; crook the forefnger so az
to make a half circle and put it over
the point of the chin, pressing it against
the latter as it rises and relaxing the
pressure instantly as it assumes its nor
NAL position. In this exercise the teeth
should be kept closed. Most faces that
are thin are apt to be hollow between
the upper and the lower jaw, and two
exercises are recommended for filling
out the cheeks. Take two small pieces
of india rubber, such as come in the
ends of pencils, and insert on each side
Of the mouth between the back teeth,
close the teeth ON them and chew,
spreading the teeth only just far enough
apart to keep the Iubbers in their place
and shutting them with all the force
possible. After this put the forefinger
into the mouth and rub it against the
cheek, pressing it outward in every way,
reaching as far back as it is possible.
It is said that by regularly following
these simple exercises daily the face
may be kept rounded and firm in its
outlines, and that even old and relaxed
muscles may be greatly strengthened
and improved. .....-

Fish Have No Souls.

The Moslems, like the Jews, were COM
manded not to make images Of anything
In heaven or in earth, and Mohammed
added, Therefore, IL ye must make i'm
ages, make images Of things which have
no souls, such as trees or plants" His
Sunnite followers have never transgressed
This rule, and their friezes and capitals and
paneling are either In geometrical pat
terms or are ornamented with symmetric-
ally twined boughs and leaves.
The Hindoo, on the other hand, never
loses an opportunity Of introducing gods,
elephants, tigers, horses and birds-any-
thing living that he can think Of except
Ash, for fish have no souls and the be-

HILL NOT DECIDED
Whether TO Accept or

HE MAY MAKE THE RACE

Stand Out.
1T HAS ALL BEEN so SUDDEN.
There Can Be No Question That
New York Democrats Want
Him to Run.
1T HAS ALL BEEN so SUDDEN.

Albany, \. Y, Sept. Ex-senator Hill
said regarding his nomination tonight:
81 have arrived al no decision as yet as to
TINS nomin alton. Ia fact l have not been
officially notified, and until 1 am 1 cannot
say anything in the premises. l have
hardly had time to think over the sensa-
tional events of yesterday"
Senator Hill has received hundreds of
congrstuiatory kilograms from people all
over the country. and some of them are in
the form of petitions asking him not to
decline the nomination.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27-An Albany dis
paIch says: The leading question of to-
day, of course, is, "Will David b. Hill
run for Governor" A decisive statement
was expected from him last night, but
his few remarks to the crowd which sere-
naded him did not settle the point. No
one is sure from what he said whether be

that was thrust upon him at the last
minute. There is also a great deal of
doubt as to the course that will be taken
by Justice Gaynor, the nominee for Judge
Of The Court of Appeals. 1t is thought he
will not make decision until be knows
what Hill will do. 1t is not doubted that

PASSING BY AT SEA.
Little Danger From the West
Indian Storm.
Ii Did Not Do as Much Damage as
Was Feared in the
South.

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-The West Indian
hurricane Is making it, way steadily in
this direction. Early in the day it was off
The coast of South Carolina. Il is travel
ing slowly IN an easterly direction with
rotary motion describing circles OF about
1000 miles 10 diameter.
Speaking of the storm the weather fore
caster said: "We shall begin to feel the
storm by tonight or tomorrow. The rain
fall attending the storm is the heaviest
ever known on the coast. l do not think,
however. that we will get the full violence
of the storm here, anG do not anticipate
anything so severe as they report having
down South. If the storm continues in its
course we may get only its western edge.
Reports received at this office Today tell
of terrific seas ali along the coast. the
wind is blowing fifty to seventy miles an
hour At Sandy Hook the wind this morn
log was twenty-eight miles an hour.
Wien the storm reaches here it will prob
ably last two or three days. The steam
ers coming from the other side may strike
the hurricane"
Incoming steamers report falling barom-
eters and indications of dry weather. Tie
Ward steamer Vigilancia, after delaying
twenty-four hours, went to sea this after
noon. The Lampasas, of the Mallory
line, followed suit but the Algonquin, of
the Clyde line, remained at anchor at 80.
The wind is travelling further to the east
ward, and all indications point TO nasty
night.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 27.-Storm
news is very meager. Jacksonville is still
cut off from communication with South
Florida. Since Tuesday not word has
been received from eastern points, where
the storm is supposed t. have been most
severe. Nothing has been heard from ST.
Augustine since Tuesday. and there are
rumors that the ancient city has suffered
greatly. Communicstion with the south
will be opened ND tomorrow. 1t is certain
that the orange crop has been greatly in
juTed, but it is hoped no lives have been
lost.
In this city the damage amounts to
abou, $4,000. The wreck of tho new
union depot. in process of construction,
was the most serious loss.
