The w SlI-Brcd Man.

Every well-bred man | ever knew
had only one school Of manners. The
business world, the political world are
the fields where good breeding is tested.
Sex does not enter into the question Of
human activity. What effect it does
have is usually toward improving mems
manners and morals In business offices
where there are women employees the
meE are always neater in appearance,
more courteous in their address, and
more dignilied in their language, than
in those where the personnel is exclus-
siyely masculine Every sensible woman
knows perfectly we'll that the average
man is very far from the ideal. He is
gentlemanly but he is not a gentleman.
lie is good fellow, but not good man.
He tries to be better than he really is,
but he is not bothered by too much sue
cess. The genuine gentleman, calm,
serene, polite to ALL is only found once
in ten times. The other nine range

The Lumber Duty.

One hundred and fifty delegates, rep
resenting twenty eight states, assembled
IN Cincinnati on Tuesday last, to dis
cuss the lumber question and to form
a permanent organization with a view
to securing tariff upon foreign lumber.
J. L. Defebauyh, publisher of The Tim
herman, went eXhaustivcIy into the
subject, showing by figures, and figures
never misrepresent, that the im9orta-
ton of Canadian lumber is increasing
every year and that it is having very
depressing effect upon American Ium-
Der interests. Last wears money value
of the Canadian product was much
higher than in any previous year, and
since June 80, the beginning Of the last
fiscal year, the Indications point very
strongly to larger increase. 1t is no
wonder that lumber men should become
alarmed and set about dcvising WAYS
and means to protect American inter
ests a soon as a Republican executive
Is in the chair.

Damage Suits.

While it doubtless does happen that
people are injured through the fault of
corporations or individuals, and are en-
titled to more or less damages accord
ing to the injuries received, still there
is great danger of those who are called
upon to render vcrdicts in such cases
being Influenced in their decisions
rather hv prejudice against corporations
than bv weight of evidence. 1t has he.
come the fashion for every man who
has suffered an injury. whether from
his own neglect or not, to commence
suit for damages, and there are any
number of lawyers who are ready and
willing to take up their cases for what
they can make out of the defendants.
ANY plea seems to suffice. If deaf
man sustain injuries through his lack OF
sense ofhearing, though his other senses
may be sufficiently keen TO prompt him
to look two ways for an approaching
train, Immediately he rushes into court
for solace for wounds the result OF his
own negligence Hundreds of cases
are being instituted for damages
which should never DC entertained.
Workmen and others should learn
that there are dangers TO face
ut all times, and they should be
prepared TO take reasonable chances.
Corporations, it is said, have no souls.
They have legal rights, however, and
in court of law they are as much en-
tiled to simple justice as any other liti-
,,ants As an instance to what extent
the fight for damages is carried on, we
may state that there are almost 4
hundred suits pending against the
American Steel Barge company, amount
ing to about $4,000. Does this not look
like case of trying to Kill the goose
that lays the golden egg.

AGE OF NIAGARA.
5 chemist Believes the River Was
Formed 900 Years Ago.

The Niagara river. which had first
been a strait joining Lake Erie to the
Ontarian gulf gradually became wide,
shallow and rapid stream, and then, as
the waters of the lower lakes subsidized,
it's bed narrowed and its fall increased
to 42O feet says knowledge. But the
river was soon greatly enlarged, The
land was rising to the north of Ontario
as well, and ultimately the outlet from
Lake Huron to the Ottawa valley was
blocked. and the surplus waters Of the
three greatest lakes flowed by their
present course to Lake Erie and
thence to Niagara river. With the con-
tinued rise of the land. especially to-
ward the east of Ontario, the water
level rose until it attained its present
elevation, and the fail of the river be-
tween the TWO lakes was reduced to the
present 800 feet. Can dates be assigned
to these events2 The first estimate Of
the age Of Niagara riyen by Ellicott over
a century ago at 81, 400 years; Blackwell,
in 1920, gave - 900; Lyell's estimate of
$1,000 wss accepted for many years after
1871, but recent writer's, using the mean
rates of recession during forty-eight
years as determined by surveys, make
the value 5000 years. DIR. Spencer has
made a new and care full computation Of
the age of Niagara river and falls. He
shows that the recent estimates have
t,l~ -, 4
changes that have occurred in the fall
and volume of the river. His calcula-
tiOns result in a value nearly that Of
Lyelps.
DIR. Spencer believes the Niagara river
was formed 5000 years ago, and that a
thousand years later the falls were in
existence. For Il, 800 years their height
was about 200 feet; thereafter the water
fell 240 feet. Seven thousand eight
hundred years ago the drainage of Lake
Superior, Michigan and Huron first
flowed through the Niagara gorge, and
5000 years ago the waters rose in Lake
Ontario until the level reached that of
to-day. The falls, then, are 81 900 wears
old. The estimate, calculated from the
rate of erosion, is confirmed by another
made from the terrestrial movements
Two deductions may be given-One as
to the past, the other concerning the
future. The lakes came into existence
after the glacial epoch, and Niagara
after the lakes, and calculations based
on the mean rate of rise Of the beaches
in the earlier periods of the lakes his
tory show that the close of the ice age
may safely be placed at sc, 600 years ago.
As to the future: With the present rate
of calculated terrestrial uplift in the
Niagara district, and the rate of recess
sion of the falls continued, or even
doubled, before the cataract shall have
reached the Devonian escarpment at
Buffalo, that limestone barrier shall
have been raised so high as to turn the
waters of the upper lakes into the Mis-
slsslppl drainage by way of Chicago.
An elevation OF sixty feet at the outlet
of Lake Erie would bring the rocky
floor Of the channel as high as the Chi
CagO divide, and an elevation of seventy
feet would completely divert the drain
age. This would require 5000 to 5000
years at the estimated rate Of terrestrial
elevation.

The Empress OF Japan.

" Considerably taller than the average

Empress of Japan presents to the gaze

hold to be most expressive of partrician
beauty writes Mrs Robert =. Porter
IN an article on THE Garden Party of
an Empress in the Christmas Ladies'
Home journal. Coz slight figure.
straight in outline, she has the delicate
waist, sloping shoulders, slender neck,
and long, pale face to be seen only
among the nobility of Japan. Her fca-
lures, especially the nose, are more
decided than one is accustomed to find.
She has the long eyes and brows, and
the let black hair, growing IN that arch
upon the forehead, which, suggestive of
the beloved Mount Fuiyama, is con-
sidcred a browning beauty in Nai-Nip-
pom. The Empress has also the eXquis-
lite hands of the Japanese gentlewoman.
and her tiny feet lose nothing in beauty
by being encased in sharply pointed
European shoes. Her Majesty wore,
continues Mrs. Porter in describing the
chcrry-hloom garden party, "a rich,
very soft brocade, of native manutac-
ture and the purest silk. 1t was a deli
cate golden-brown, with figures in the
same color, representing chrysanthe-
NUNS, and made in the prevailing
European style, with large sleeves and
full skirt. Her bonnet was little
French affair in delicate colors, and she
carried in her hand a large parasol
which harmonized with her gown.

A IL HAN DIS SUITED
ANY Old Kind of Platform for Delaware
Democrats.
The Republicans Will Fuse on this
Electoral Ticket and That
Alone.
Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.

LEWES Del, August ~, 1896
Inc Dover democratic convention is over,
ana the campaign opens Immediately. Tun-
nell, the nominee for governor is the de-
feated aspirant of two years ago He did
not want this nomination, and is averse
to making the run. He is a most clever
man and prosperous merchant i'm this
part of the state. For many years he has
been prominently identified as an official of
the Farmers Bank of Georgetown and has
considerable means outside of his active
business, no small part Of which is in agri-
cultural lands i'm this state.
L. Irving Handy, who is to run against
Parson' Willis for Congress, is a great
big, good-natured gentleman from Newark.
He is a lecturer on educational subjects OF
no small ability, versatile and interesting
talker, and Mr.. Willis will find his opponent
an up-to-date debater on the stump. Ii
Will be noted that while John f. Salisbury
got in without debate a majority report

never word was uttered on the subject OF
The currency, and by general under

June's convention was allowed to stand.
Thus the Delaware state convention de-
clares for Bryan, the Chicago platform and
the present financial system, and every
kind of democrat can robe himself in
campaign coat of many coors, as ii were,
and go he pleases.
The New Castle county democracy may
give a little trouble, and in the present
comllexed state of things, based on what
Ford and his followers say after their de-
feat at Dover, it will take pretty warm
weather TO get their circulation In condl-
ton TO work vigorously for Tunnel.
The single takers didn't score although
their representatives had a little fun IN
the convention, and when their demands
for recognition became too persistent IL
was a left-handed favor they received
1t is reported on good authority that inn
medately after the Dover convention add
Journed word was passed around to the fac
