BREAKING DOWN ENGINEERS.
Chief Kirby the Fifth 10 succomb
From OverwOrk.

ONtEMOEks
Washington, Sept. N.-Consderable
comment has been caused at the navy
department by the news of the detach-
ment Of Chief Engineer Kirby of the
United States battleship Texas, by reason
Of prostration from overwork. He is the
fifth engineer to give way this year I'M
der the terrible physical and mental strain
to which the engineer officers are sub
jected.
This succession of breakdowns shows
that there Is something radically wrong,
for the men who have gone under are the
survival of a picked body, who have here
tofore been able to carry on the most Sc
we're work imposed upon them.
Naval officers speak earnestly and free
~ upon this matter, and some Of them
say that unless sufficient naval engineers
are provided TO do the work efficiently
there should be a stoppage in the build
ing of war vessels.

A Splendid showing for HiIIsbOr-

Plant City. Fla. Sept. 1S.-Editor Morn
ing News: Sometime ago you gave special
mention in an editorial commendatory Of
Worth county, Georgia, because, in the
general depression of business and shrink
age of values, that cOunty's tax assess
ment showed an increase of $4,000 over
the previous year. suppose it was well
deserved praise.
All the civilized world knows of the dis
aster in Florida. wrought by the severe
freezes of last winter, when Sl5,000Oo1 of
her peoples wealth vanished in a single
night. Everybody was prepared for a ter
rible slump in taxable values in all that
part of the peninsular part of the state.
and there will be no little surprise not
only to the Florida readers of the News
but to all who know of our terrible loss
es. TO learn that Hnlsborough county
comes up smiling from her baptism of
ice and presents to the world figures that
not only shows she has held her own, but
has Increased in wealth wonderfully.
Taxable values for 1894, as shown by the
assessors books, were S7.O61.7 S4, while
those just compiled exhibit 81, 227, 1893. an
increase of S166, 259. This is the aggregate
that this has been from recuperation en-

pie have put their shoulders to the wheel,
and have put forth their best endeaVOrs,
and kindly providence has bestowed
upon them the best field crops the county
has ever produced.
Our people are working steadily to the
end to restore Hillsborough to the position
she held as an early vegetable and orange
producing county, prior to last winter.
Suffering less seriously than counties
farther north, the chances for her to re-
gain her position are better, and in three
or four years Hillsborough will lead in
her orange output.
As the News is without a peer in the
Alligator State" know no better agency
to bring before the citizens of Florida a
fact that will be as surprising as it will be
gratifying. Pert.

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
A story that throws much light in life
in large cities is now being whispered
about the Waldorf cafe, and got into one
newspaper this evening. A certain very
juvenile New Yorker, who was married
some time ago to a prima donna, who had
had several previous matrimonial expert
ences, was rather startled on going abroad
to find his wife enthusiastically greeted
by tall youth of Is, almost the same age
as himself, and a young woman just step
ping over the brook, and all that sort of
thing, as "chere mamma" lie was rather
staggered at the maturity of these pro-
auctions, and he leaned to his bride and
asked: "These-who was their father?'
Mon cher languidly replied the newly
made wife at was so long ago, you know
that 1 really don't remember" The make
up box fools lots of folk in this age of ar
tificialty.

Canvas Railroad Trains Unduly Excite
Theatre Goers at tho Grand.
Five or six years ago Elmer E. Vance
was telegraph operator at Columbus,
o. He was fond of theatres, literature
and music, and built the play known as
The Limited Mail" He resigned his
position as telegrapher and went to New
York to get his play produced. For six
weeks he tried to get managers to put it
on. They all offered to furnish the ex-
perienee if he would produce the CAPT
tai. Finally Vance concluded that if he
had to furnish the money he would also
furnish the experience and put the play
on himself. The result was that the
piece was an instantaneous success in
the cheaper the4ters. netting it's author
the first year thousands of dollars.
Such is brief history of "The Limited
Mail" the forerunner of the long list of
railroad plays which have since seen the
light.
The piece had two productions at the
Grand yesterday, afternoon and evening.
Fair audiences only attended. There
was a great deal of spare room on the
floor Mr.. Vance, who is with the play,
said it was the first time be had ever
missed playing to capacity on Christmas
night
The play is better than any railroad
play which has been here lately. The
scenery is we'll gotten up and there are
some ''triumphs in stage realism" in the
piece. The big cut and tunnel scene,
where the limited mail rushes across the
stage to be saved from wreckage-of
course-by a nervy girl telegraph oper-
| ator, set the upstairs audience to cheer
ing wildly at the close of the third act
All the play is sensational melodrama
and pleases only those who care for such
| things. 1t is suitable to houses like
the Ninth Street at Kansas City. There
are revolvers and very tiresome des-
| perado in one act, whom the audience
| hoped some actor would kill early and
! put stop to his ranting. Nearly every
] person in the play was shot, slugged,
t and nearly killed at some time in the
piece, but they always revived and came
on in the next act as fresh as daisies.
/ Not so with the "heavy." He died the
/ first time he was shot at, expiring in
! plain sight as he recited the last words
| of the piece.

CAN THEATERS BE TAXED?
A Contest Over the License Fee for L. n.
CrawfOrd's Opera Houses.

A Contest Over the License Fee for L. N.
Crawford's Opera Houses.
There is a probability that the Topeka
license ordinance will soon be put to the
test. There are few who believe 1t to
be illegal, and it may require a decision
of the higher courts to decide the ques-
ton.
The ordinance places tax of S25 a
year on opera houses. Manager Craw-
ford has two houses in Topeka, but has
never paid the tax fixed by the ordin-
ance. Almost every license collector
has had some experiences in trying to
collect the fee, but none has been sue
cessful.
The city council has ordered license
collector Kingsland to collect the tax and
hehRs been trying for month to do so,
but has failed. Mr.. Crawford refused to
pay thelicense fee and told the collector
that he was wasting his time when he
attempted to collect it.
MI Kingsland says that he will have
Mr.. Crawford arrested as soon as the
city attorney issues the warrant and he
will be given an opportunity to prove
whether he is a proper subject to pay
opera house license or not.

The Christmas holiday is now fairly

than the one just passed The last

men of the mercantile, manufacturing
and also the professional classes ought to
organize commercial club. whose bus

ests Of each and all. The old fashioned
board of trade IDEA is scarcely what is
needed. The organization should be
composed of active business men with
plenty of young blood in it Long talk

excluded. A club of the kind of men
who act rather than talk, could do a
wonderful amount of good for this town.
Enterprises could be encouraged or dis

special railroad rates secured where they
were needed, projects like the Fall Fes-
tival carried on, and a score of other
matters looked after in way that would
build up Topeka and help to make it a
larger and buster city. If the people of
Topeka can be got to work together
there is very little that we should reach

A bedroom never ought to contain any
thing to fatigue the eye by its eonplexity.
An invalid lying helpless in bed, prae-
ticaIly condemned to puzzle out the intri-
cate patterns of the wall paper or the
hangings of the windows, mentally goes
through a series of studies that lead into
channels of thought by reason of the sur
roundings which are not conducive to
health giving or recuperation. 1t is best
to use simple wall papers of set designs in
flowers and favorite well known foliage,
as we'll as simple curtains, SO the mind
will at once be set at rest and the repose
SO needful be attained.

Study of the Front Door.

Nothing brings to mind as forcibly the
comfort and convenience of a home as
to stand outside a well finished oak Dutch
front door, and to see the upper half open
ed to your rap, rap, rap by the knockel
thereon. The first glimpse caught through
the opening is like a look into paradise,
softening and mellowing out as the lower
half opens ard admits you into the sacred
realms of the hospitabIe hall and home.
The study of the front door while waiting
is often a training time to the mind Of
what to expect or seq after entering, and
many a thought for good or bad of the oc-
cupants may be dispelled by the thought
the study of the door leads up to.
