WE learn with regret that ar-

pleted to. move the postoffice to the. Winthrop building on North Washington street. It has beca located at the present place some seven or elght years, and in the vicinity of the present location oven longer. There seems to be DO popular demand to. .have 1t re- moved, but on the. contrary, n well-developed opposition. The government pays the rent, hence it cannot be said there is any ad- vantage from a fnanciah stand point 10 the officials, There IS ab- solutely no advantages to.the pub lie in the proposed new location, and if there is a difference, in the danger of fire, it is in favor of the present location. The greatest ob- jection to the proposed new loca- tion IS It's surroundings. On the diagonal northeast corner ia tn negro hotel; north Of 1t is the de- lapidated stable and broom, facto- ry;.on the east is tue blacks inith shop; southeast is-a row of shan ties occupied by negro restaurant, barbershop, etc, etc. In the block, are three saloons, and barber shop, all of which are places of re- sort for men only, and where the ladies and children of our city do notcare to mingle< With the postof- fee Tn the Winthrop building the ladies and little children of the city who frequent the office would be compelled to elbow their way through the crowds of negroes and others, not to menti on the odorous fish wagons, etc., etc., which con- gregate there, especially on Sat Urdays. It is to sny the least of an. anwelcomo requirement., and one which the women will not aD- preciate. The present location has many vantages. It is in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to all business men, and more espec- lally the general public; it is. near the court house, the bank, and the newspaper office, and it's removal will ot course divert the. natural walks of the public who have be- come accustomed to the present locatlon, thus resulting in con siderable inconvenience to- them. We have heard many expressions rom disinterested parties and with very few exceptions they depre- cate the removal, and hope that It may not be done, believing that it IS now occupying the best location in town. True there is A. respec. table and influential endors em ent of the removal idea, but with very few exceptions they are interested parties. They own property on North Washington street, or have business interests there which they believe will be benefited by loca- ting he postoftice there. Taking iIntO consideration, that that street, near Front, has always been the "center of Srayitation, that the crowds always gather there, we cannot see that the postoffice would be materiGlhelp to busi- ness or property on that. street, V fear that 1t Is now too late to bring this matter before the pub lie, but If the matter has not beon definitely settled, we hopo 1t will be, reconsidered and abandoned.
 By so doing the officials wall incur the grateful thanks of the public, for whose convenience the post office IS established.

SQUIRE HARRIS VIEWS.
Some Opinions and Advice from a
Comp tent Authority.

Like every city and town in our Re-
public, Marietta furnishes it's share of
veterans who fought for Old Glory
during the late unpleasantness, and
who, despite their valor when facing a
foe on the field found themselves wag-
ing war on concealed enemy eyer
since, and perfectly powerless and un-
able to dislodge it from its position.
How to effect dislodgement is clearly
given in the statement that follows,
made by Squire NJ. Ii. Hart, whose Of
flee, we need scarcely remind our read
ers, is just opposite the depot Our
citizens haye now the unavoidable
question to answer, whose opinion can
depend upon the more, a representa-
tive resident of Marietta or some news
paper statement made by some one, liv-
ing hundreds of miles, away who say
this and then quietly and cody an
swer the question mentally. The
Squire says: Since was in the army.

never had the health 1 had before /
enlisted. My kidneys were effected
and at times had been anything but
a well man, some of the symptoms
showing plainly that my kidneys were
not right such as dull pains in the

NAPOLEON SLEPT.
Strange Explanation From an Englishman
of Wellington's Victory.

In a new English book on Waterloo there

Napoleon slept in the battle of Waterloo.
"Others, bringing forward many par
ticular examples to prove this contention
urge that throughout the campaign Ma
poleon was inoapacitated by disease and
in a eemi-comatose condition at the
moment when energy was of all things
the most needful. The truth seems to BIZ
that Napoeon was suffering under the
infunce of a strange and mysterious
malady. the nature OF which has not yet
been accurately defined. A life suoh as
his, spent in privations. fatigues and
exposure. SO full of mental and physical
lahors, with brief flashes of dissipation,
would not unnaturally generate diseases
from which the ordinary man is free
diseases therefore, which but. rarely pre-
sent themselves to the observation of
medical men. There still remains to be
written a work which would prove as
interesting as it would be valuable, up
on the maladios of great men, and
scientific investigation might be worse
employed than in examining the physical

What Is certain in Napoleon's case, Is
that his malady had been growing upon
him with increasing force since 1906.

WASHINGTON SUFFERS.

Houses Were Unroofed and Streets
BIockaded in Various Parts of the City.
Washington, September 3o.-After two
days of rather warm weather. storm
gathered in this city last night of almost
unprecedented proportions for this lati-
tude.
Telegraphic communication with
points in every direction from Washing
ton was as thoroughly interrupted as it
WAS during the memorable gale in March,
1887. Several of the frs alarms were
sounded. one of which was on account
of the collapse of a wall of a building,
tina erection of which was nearly COM
pleted, on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Twelfth and thirteenth. The building
was 1856 feet in height. Several people
in both of the houses were for time
buried in the ruins, but with one exoep-
ton, were unhurt.
On Seventh street much damage to
stores and other structures is reported.
Streets are practically blockaded by the
wrecks In many parts of the city. Roofs
of houses were blown off In many sec
tions, and church steeples wrenched
from their fastenings.

Cracking Rubber.

The cracking Of rubber goods, so ecm-
mon and annoying, is believed to be caused
by the oxidation of the oaoutchin, the es-
Bential oil Of caoutchouc. Inflammation
does not lessen the affinity of this SUBJ
stance for oxygen. The compounds used
tend to fill the pores Of the rubber and
thus somewhat reduce the opportunity for
oxidation, but the netallic oxide and 9TH
or substances which 1t Is the custom to in
troduce in vulcanization and dyeing-in-
Guiding sulphuric acid from antimony sui
phide-are found to be often injurious, and
boiling In caustio soda to remove the
bloom" left on goods by an excess of sui
phur may also cause injury. The result Of
comparison Of analyses of the damaged
rubber with those OF the sound article ia
stated to be very large increase in the
percentage Of oxygen and some loss Of car
