WHY SHE LOOKED YOUNG.
Youthful Appearing Woman 1T 90
Years Of Age.

How young she Is at co.
I heard a lady make this remark n a
street car recently. as she pointed out a
fine looking woman. with q bright healthy
complexion. good figure and brisk step.
who had just entered. also looked at her.
She certainly seemed 70 De nearer 10 than
O.. I recognized her as the wife OF a
wei.-known New York business man. and
knowing that she Is always ousily en-
ployea, was interested 70 discover the
cause OF ne- wonderful health and vfgor.
Happening 70 mention the matter 70 =
lady OF my acquaintance shortly after,
she volunteered the following expiana-
rians
Mrs T." she said certainly has spien-
aid health. and not long ago she told me
the secret OF IL. For years past 50 she
told me, she has made Il a praelics 10
take a little pure malt sfimulant with eN-
cry meal. She said that 1t was OWING 70
this that she had escaped the many weak
symptoms ana miserable ailments from
which so many women suffer. She says
that whenever she feels tired and worn
out. little pure malt gives her new lie
and energy.
For the benefit of ladies who may read
these words. ! may further add that I
discovered. on subsequent inquiry, that
the lady above referred 10 uses and
strongly recommends Daffy's pure malt
whiskey as the safest and hest of all malt
preparations. No other whiskey Is like IL,
and nothing can produce the same good
effects

Il is more than probable that any dis
satisfaction In Venezuela with the terms
Of the treaty Is only such as might arise
during a campaign. It is not likely that
a subject OF 80 much interest would be
discussed by every party In such terms
as would seem to AFFORD political capital
TO the party which claims credit for the
result Of Its energetic protests.
II would be very unfortunate should 1t
prove true that any appreoiabie opposi-
ton or dissatisfaction existed. 1t would
result. II persisted In, no doubt, In the
United States gently Withdrawing It's Of
Gees. The United States having in the
wisdom Of It's government seen At to APP
prove the terms Of the protocol, resistance
by Venezuela would be an sffront less
10 the British government than TO that at
Washington. The United States govern
ment has taken up the interests OF the
little republic with as careful elaboration
as though they were directly our own.
and II would be undisnihed TO permit any
question either OF our good faith or good
judgment.
No arbitration q needed or compromise
possible conditioned upon its conceding all
that one side claims. The dispute between
Venezuela and Great Britain is one Of
fact: but these facts are wrapped UP In
a haze of ancient history based upon REQ
ords OF doubtful authenticity and still
more doubtful accuracy. Some rule OF
evidence is necessary or an interminable
controversy will arise In which the ex-
travsgant language and geographical ig-
norancs or one set OF explorers VIII have
to bs met only be ths exaggerated de-
scriptions and valn-glorious claim OF
another set of navigators, whose vsracity
and learning were not always equal to
their nautical experience or their brave
explorations into unknown territory.
When two nations such as those which
are supervising the diplomatic arrange
ments agree that the terms OF treaty are
fair. Il may be assumed that there Is
little ground for apprehension on the part
OF Venezuela. IL Is not the purpose of this
government TO scheme 70 force England
OF the Southern continent but only 20
insure that she shall not have an inch
more than rightfally belongs 10 her now
as being acknowledged hers before the
controversy flrst arose.
II Venezuela Is expecting more than this.
she has entirely rnisapprshcnded the
friendly purpose OF this nation and the
true meaning 81 the Monroe doctrine.

A New Governors Policy.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
II Governor-elsct Scofield's treatment of
offsceseekers at the gathering OF Repub-
lican officials IN this city last Tuesday
foreshadows the policy he viii observe
when in offics. the administration OF state
affairs viii be little short OF perfect in
this respect He Is reported to have Of
fered no encouragement to applicants for
state Offices and TO have further made IT
apparent that no changes would be made
TO accommodate the wishes OF politicians
seeking personal rewards. His idea seems
to be that the machinery of the state
government should be disturbed as little
as possible. Wherever 1t appears that the
service suffers from lack OF efficiency on
the part of any present incumbent, there
Is. however. likely 20 be a substitution OF
competent man In his place. In other
words, Wisconsin's next governor pros
poses to act upon the principle that tho
different departments Of the state gov
eminent should be conducted accordin z
to the same rules that apply in the man
agement Of any business. Competent EN-
ployes are TO DO retained. others will be
gradually replaced ds the governor learns
OF their unfitness.
Mr.. Scofeld's purpose is sure TO meet
with the approval of all supporters OF
good government. a class that includes a
large majority OF the voters.

Life tn the Old Land Yet.

From the Stanton Ne'rs.
We learn from Captain I. ID. Ransom,
who returned Wednesday from Jefferson
county, that at the special term held by
Judge Faulkner, of the circuit court, a de-
cree has been entered in the suit OF the j..
NJ. Ransom estate against the Charles Town
Improvement Company which frees that
enterprise from the complications which
were Gripping it, and clears the titles OF
the properties.
1t is noteworthy circumstance, at a time
of such general depression, that within "a
hours, by the combined efforts of counsel
and parties interested in the suit, cash sales
should be effected of 275 lots and parcels of
unimproved land, and more than $4,000 of
cash collected and discussed, without going
outside of Charles Town for help.
A new stimulus has been given to build
ing there. The Harness Factory is in full
operation, the Brass and Iron Works have
a large number OF employees occupied and
the Road Machine and Bridge Works are
busy upon large orders and arranging for
increase of force. The Graded School, un-
der excellent management in its new build
ing, has nearly 400 pupils. There is talk
of converting the elegant Hotel Powhatan
into female seminary.
