500 Reward, $l0O.

The reader Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have So much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list Of testimonials.

So Very Easy to Glance at,

Newspaper work must be easy"
said Dingus, nothing to do but write
about things you see and hear. If it
paid better I'd go into it," Now
Dingus, let us dispose of your last
proposition first. The we'll established
newspapers of the larger cities yield
immense profits. They are veritable
gold mines to their owners. In the
smaller cities are hundreds of papers
that are good paying investments for
the stockholders. In the country
towns and villages the papers that pay
at all yield good returns for the capital
invested. One fact must not be lost
sight of. If a paper loses money it is apt
to lose it fast. Work the business
beyond certain mark and the profits
grow in double ratio to the expenses.
Many newspapers are conducted on
loose business principles because the
ability to do good literary work and
strict business and fnanciering is
seldom combined in one person. This
is why city papers pay best. The good
business men are in the business
office and the good writers are in their
proper departments. Now for your
first proposition. The work is hard.
1t ages one fast. Those engaged in it
like it, and generally would do nothing
else If they could, and more generally
couldn't if they would. To do good
newspaper and literary work you must
be born with natural aptitude for
the work, and then trained to it. The
men who take it up in middle life and
make success of it are as scarce as
hens teeth. Nlne.tenths of the sue
cessful newspaper men first learned
the printers trade and worked up.
Indeed a pretty thorough knowledge
OF printing is almost absolutely nee
essary to good writer. And many
a really good writer would fail as
newspaper man, especially on the
country press, for there man must
be everything. He must be able to
" boil down " the account OF murder
to " stick full" if necessary, or spin
out a whole seven column page of
interesting nothings, just as the occa-
sion demands. Whether he wants TO
or not he must be something of
politician. He must appear at ease
in all kinds of society. he must, if
not able to make regular speech, be
capable of " making few remarks"
He must be close fnancier and
generous in his donations to churches
and charities. He must meet his OBJ
legations promptly and be very lenient
to those in debt to him. He must
be able to do great many thirgs our
friend Dingus has never learned to do,
and II he is born newspaper man he
will be the happiest when the hardes.
pushed, will smile through defeat and
emulate truth when crushed to earth
by rising again like jack.in a.box,
and when the top round of the ladder
breaks and lets him to the ground he
will cheerfully and smilingly grasp
the bottom and begin the upward
climb Suliioan Reuieso.

Can one see the ocean from the top OF the
Washington Monument on fair day?
A publication, W hich is more or less OF a
guide book, describing the beauties OF the
National Capital, says that such a view
is obiainahle, but the statement has been
doubted by many, and in fact is incorrect,
and can be oisproved both by ocular and
mathematical demonstration.
Nj. E. c. Palmer, of this city, has given
the matter much attention and claims that
such a thing as seeing the ocean from the
top OF the Monument is q physical impos-
sibility. A reporter Of The Times saw
Mr.. Palmer al his home, 1914 d street
northeast, and he gives the followin ing reasons
why his theory is true.
lone day." said he, while was en-
joying the magnificent view obtainable
from The window at the top Of the Nonu-
ment ! heard a visitor exclaim: They say
one can see the ocean from here on a clear
day
Il was somewhat surprised at this re-
markable statement and ON my return
home consulted publication accepted as
generally correct and found the following
in this connection:
ION the west the range of vision "a
bounded by the Allegheny Mountains, and
on tue south it extends to the Chesapeake
Bay ana acrOsS1b 10 tiie ocean.
Mr.. PALMER's STATEMENT.
NOW 1 can disprove this renm rtableL
assertion. In the first place. the nearest
point of the ocean 10 Washington is directly
east; and If am not mis,a ten. the distance
is 90 miles. II the ocean can be seen
at this distance from the top of this marble
shaft, then it is quite reasonable 10 suppose
that Laurel, Rockville, Baltimore and other
contiguous towns TO Washington could
very readily he seen, but as a matter of
fact Alexandria. Va, is about the only
town outside of the District which Is
visible to the naked eye.
I'm the second place. IL is known that
the curvature of the earth's surface on
the water level is eight inches TO the mile
An easily applied rule for finding the
curvature of the surface for any distance
is to multiply the square of the distance
expressed in miles by eight, and the
product will be the curvature in inches.
APPLYING A RULE.
ITO ascertain, then, how far one could
see from the windows of the Monument
II it stood on the seashore. before the curva-
ture OF the W alter would hide an oh ject ON its
surface from view, it is only necessary
to reverse the above rule-tbat is, apply 1t
backward.
Granting that the Monument is thirty
LOU oooNS eiue "doet, Tue "ihuo"s dre
therefore five hundred and thirty feet
above the water level.
Applying the rule the greatest posi-
BILE distance one could see from the top of the
Monument IL it were remarkably clear
day with nothing toobstruct thevision, would
be about twenty-eight miles.
The Monument people do not contend
that tbe statementmadei in the book referred
to Is correct, but contend that under i'd
vantageous circumstances one is enabled
to see much greater distance than the
maximum distance of twenty eight miles,
as commended by Mr.. Palmer.

propitious for ball-playing. and the game
had 10 be postponed. The Petersburg
team went home yesterday afternoon. and
to-day the Richmonds viii go over and
meet them on their own diamond. Both
clubs will return here for a game Sat
urday.
Houseman's hand has about gotten well
and he will probably play in Saturdays
game. Gibson has entirely recovered. and
10 ready to play again. Behnes arm is
far from being well.
When the Richmonds last met the
Petersbnrgs the contests were Of a very
exciting nature. The rivalry between the
two clubs is strong. and the games to-
day and tomorrow will no doubt be ex-
ceedingly interesting. a large crowd OF
rocters from Richmond will 20 over to
Petersburg this afternoon. Tannehill will.
in all probability. be in the box. and
Flynn Will pitch here Saturday.
The Richmond nine has been peculiarly
unfortunate this season in that rain has
interfered with them frequently. If they
had been able to follow the schedule
without interruption. twenty-eight games
would have been played. AS it is only
twenty-one have been played by Rich
mond. while all of the other clubs have
had more. Richmond's percentage is
l. lstt nh Of
other team. and as that Is what tells
there Is no ground for any kicking yet
Every thing is satisfactory so long as the
Bluebirds keep their lead.
