COAST DEFENSES.

Fifty-three million dollars is stated by
Secretary Lamont as the amount re-
CURED by the War Department for next
year. OF this sum the usual amount
will Ne employed for maintenance of the
army consisting OF 5000 men,
bur the Secretary says nearly
sixteen millions will be necessary
for Notifications ana coast de-
lenses. Steps have been taken for de-
lenses at various points and now that
q start has been made the work should
go on to completion There can be no
question as to the necessity of putting
our sea coast in Il proper state of de-
Tense and the country will not brgrudgc
the expenditure Of he money. 1t Is
estimated that the work will require
twenty years so chat the expenditures
will not fall heavily. AT this time our
coast is utterly defenSeless and open To
successful attacks ut almost any point.
Let the work be begun and pushed with
vigor.

HOW TO BEAT THE BANK.
Systems Are for Sale cheap at Nices
hut They Are Bogus.

At Nice you can for very small sum pur-
chase tsystemiSto beat thes bank. The
fact that these syst ems are publicly soil
for an insignificant SUM ought to destroy the
confidence of any sane man in Them yet the
gamblers buy them regularly, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
The gambler requires q system that IT,
a previously arranged Sc uence of bets so
cunningly devised that the odds which would
otherwise be in favor Of the bank become by
its use in favor of the gambler.
Systems vary in price, from half franc to
20 francs, the higher fGura Being much the
most likely to attract buyers. The plan Of
lncosing the precious secret n a fastened
envelope, which the purchaser may not open
until he has paid five francs for it, adds ma
terially to the prospect of good sale.
The extent to which these fse-franc sur
prise packets, as well as innumerable pan1ph-
let's and considerable variety of large vol
umes, all of them advocating systema Of more
or less completely, are sold, not only in Nice
and Monte Carlo, but also in Paris, is aston
ishiDg.
Roulette has not only an exclusive l;terature
but also school Of tuition. with profess
ors'' who have been themselves ruined at
roulette make it their business by means OF
private lessons, periodically followed by pub
lie experiment at the Casino with a pu 5ii's
money. to teach the novice how to follow in
their footsteps.
Agents of these men waylay carriages on,
their way to the station at Nee and shower
enticing pamphlets on their occupants. These
which are usually ignored on the journey to-
Monte Carlo, are eagerly perused by unfor-
tunate gamblers on the return journey. and
a visit is forthwith paid to the academy"

At the First Unitarian church yes

mortal services in honor of Edwin 3.

How many people we meet these DAYS WIN
complain of tired, worn cut feelings and seem
to be very much ."under'f the weather },
There seems to be an epidemic of ill-health
and an unusually large number Of people
are feeling and looking sickly. But there
is fortunately way to overcome these mis-
cradle feelings and regain lost health and
strength. Thousands OF people have dis
covered this way. and many Of them are CIV
ing others the benefit of their exparispce.
Here Is an interesting opinion on the subject:
Mr.. E. B. Toale, Of 432 De Kalb avenue.
Brooklyn, says: "In the spring and summer
was formerly a constant sufferer from weak
ness and nervous debility. I tried many
remedies but obtained no relief until I be-
gan taking Duffy's. Purs Malt Wniskey.
Since 1 commenced using 1t, my friends are
astonished at my improved appearance.
The above opinion has been selected from
thousands of others, testifyfng to the same
effect. 1t proves beyond any question that
for building up the system and imparting new
life to weak, weary people, Duffys Pure Malt
Whiskey is simply unequaled. 1t purifies the
blood, quickens the circulation. promotes di
gestion, cures constipation and gives new

FOR DEPARTED COMRADES.
Memorial Services Held Yesterday
at Levi Butler Post

The memorial service held yesterday after
noon in honor and memory of the dead com

The singing was rendered by the Forest
Heighths NJ E. choir. The address was
delivered by Rev. E. c. Clemens, a son of
veteran. whose text was taken from l Sam
uel, Xxx: 49, Thou shall be missed because
thy seat will be empty" The reverend
gentleman said there were few homes in this
time belonged to a departed soldier. There
was not a Grand Army post but had the
words after the names Of some of their mem

beneht to those who were born since the war,
because the deeds of those gone before are
retold, and are an incentive not only to deeds
of valor, but to a better citizenship, and a
greater love of God and country.

Washington avenue last night.
Charles Sundberg was brought to the
county Jail yesterday by the sheriff of
Wright county, from the town of Buffalo,
He will serve a sentence of ten days in de-
fault Of fine imposed for disorderly con-
duct.
Several fans. operated by electricity, were
placed above the cells in the county Jail Sat
urday. This is for the purpose of ventila-
ton, and the new contrivances are found a
success; Formerly the foul air made it very
unhealthy, but the fans, it is expected, will
avoid this difficulty.
An effort will be made to secure the ser
vices of Maj. Hilton in this city the coming
week. His success during the last week has
been a source of satisfaction to those who
induced him to come 10 Minneapolis, and they
therefore desi1e him to stay longer.

BLETHEN FOR THE SENATE.
Two Former Minnenpolitans En-.
joying Booms In the West.

Two Minneapo litans or renewn who
left this city recently to improve their
fortunes in other parts are reported to
have profited by the transplanting.
Alden j. Blethen, now editor of the
Seattle Times, the leading free silver
organ of Washington. has succeeded III
developing considerable of boom for
the United States senate. Mr.. Bleth
en- was one of the leaders of the free
silver party, and known throughout
the state as an editor and stump
speaker. He has shaved his face
clean. on the ground that the humid
climate did not agree with the lamber-
Quin style which he had adopted.
The other Minneapolitan in this cat
egory is Frank F. Davis. He is a res
ident of Pasadena, near Los Angeles,
which is now enjoying boom. Mr..
Davis formed a law partnership with
John M. Miller, also formerly of Min
neapolis, and he has for his clients
some of the many well-to-do Mime
sotans in that section. While in Min
Eeapolis Mr.. Davis was the attorney
for the American Express company,
which position he still retains in his
Pacific home. But above all, Mr. Davis
has prepared the wires for run for
congress and it is believed by his
friends in Minneapolis that he is
almost certain of getting the nomina
ton for the next term.

life, spirit within him. but he cannot prove

Iature.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 6.-The
scheme to expend 81, 900 in the erec-
ton of a centennial building in this
city in connection with the celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary OF
Indiana's organization as territory is
meeting with bitter opposition in all
parts of the state, and there now seems
little doubt that the coming legislature
will refuse to give the project encour-
agement.
The objection urged by the out coun-
ties Is that Indianapolis is seeking to
secure a permanent museum at the ex-
pense of the other counties, and that,
the state being already some $4,000, 600
in debt, it would be folly to add to this
debt by holding an exhibition that
would place an additional burden upon
the people. The subject was eanyassed
by the last legislature and an act pass
ed for the appointment Of commits
sion by the governor to consider the
feasibility Of a centennial exposition
and report to the coming session some
plan or plans for the same. The COM
mission was appointed and will meet
in few days to prepare its report.
The members of the commission are
aware OI IIlS 1S0llllS lIAeIl Ie1S OCfCtOPCO
against the project, but they propose
to submit plan that would be credit
able to the state on such an occasion,
regardless Of the fate that may over
take it. They say that anything that
does not involve large expenditure Of
money would not be creditable to the
people, and it would be better to aban-
don the matter entirely than to have
such an exhibit as would detract from
rather than add to the good name Of
the state.
It is proposed to have the exposition
open from three to six months and
in order to meet the plans designed by
the commission, permanent building
should be erected. At the close of the
exposition 1t is proposed to seek dona-
tons of the exhibits and convert the
building into permanent museum. The
proposed exposition would be confined
to Indiana, but would embrace displays
showing every stage of her progress
from her organization as a territory in
1900. The present temper Of the people
outside of the capital city does not
promise well for the project, however,
and the chances are that 1t will be cold
ly treated by the legislature.
