An Old Road Made New.

And now another joke is taken

No more can either ring the changes
on that time-honored old minstrel Joke
about the man who wanted to go to

and horror of all through passengers
on the picturesque Baltimore and

trip through the mountains no longer
reminds one Of crossing the English
Channel on a particularly rough day.
This will be welcome news to the
general public and to Baltimore aud
Ohio enthusiasts-people who would
not take any other route to their desti-
nations if the Baltimore and Ohio
would possibly serve them. These are
mostly passionate admirers of natural
scenery, to whom the gigantic pano.
rama along the Baltimore and Ohio
route can never become stale. Indeed,
why should it, when it is never twice
the same? Scenery on a scale of such
immensely is like the ocean in its sus-
ceptibility to change. Not only with
the seasons, but with the days, does its
beauty vary. And even through a
summer day it is never the same scene
an hour at a time. Like a kaliedo-
scope, which the slightest alteration
in position occasions a totally new
view. so the forests and mountains
along this scenic route assume wholly
new appearances with every passing
cloud and every weather condition.
Now that the exaggerated bug-bear
of the Baltimore and Ohio curves has
been finally disposed of, and its road
bed made second to none, the excel
lence of its equipment and the pecul-
iarly ''make-yourselfc omfortable-we'll-

iNFALLiBLE SCIENCE.
Figures for Once This Professor Hai
to Admit Were Wrong.

F1gures for Once This Professor Had
to Admit Were Wrong.
Occasionally science must admit fall
ure. One night a young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook with a toy rife
to hit a lamp. But his aim was pooh
and the ball passed through the window
of an eminent and venerable professor
of science and embedded itself in the
wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
lessor and for science, says the Hartford
Courant. He set to work and computed
the curve, and with the exact skill Of in
fallible figures he traced the ball right
back TO the room of an innocent COL
league who didn't even know the rife
had been fred.
The unfedged minister fatty denied
all knowledge Of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denials IN self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him.
There was tho bullet there were the
marks of its course, and there was the
computation worked out. II loolsd as
If pulpit career was to be nipped in the
bud.
But the guilty student heard what
was going on. he called on the pro-
fessor, confessed the offense. pointed
out that the man of science WIS 200 feet
out in his computation, and advised
that the matter be dropped right where
1t was.
And that was done.

A Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, June 23.-The cabinet
talked for full two hours, most Of the
time on questions Of foreign policy. but
without deciding upon any particular
changes in the lines Of action already
laid down. Hawaii and annexation
were discussed at length and especially
the protest filed the other day by the
Japanese minister against the pending
annexation treaty.
The protest is not given very much
weight by the administration, for the
reason that in the estimation Of the
cabinet 1t is based upon a misconcep-
ton of the terms of the treaty and of
the results that would follow the SUBJ
stitution of the laws of the United
States for the Hawaiian laws and
treaties.
For instance, 1t was shown that so
far as the protest is based upon a fear
that the status of the Japanese now
living in Hawaii will be injuriously af-
fected 1t is not sound, for their posi-
ton after annexation would be precise
ly similar to that of Japanese now liv-
ing in the United States who are eligi-
BILE to citizenship and are not known
to have any complaint against their
treatment by the United States
Other matters of protest, in the opin-
ion of the cabinet, were equally with
out foundation. One thing that APP
peared positively was that the admin
istration does not now entertain any
expectation of getting action upon the
treaty at this session of congress, but
has determined to arrange for its early
consideration next December.
As for the Cuban talk. it appeared
that Mr.. Calhoun's report, though COM
pleted by him. was not laid before the
cabinet, so the discussion did not cover
any new ground.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fever. No medicine will act more surely
