RHEUMATISM
AEMOR BOARD
Making Tour of the Country in
Search Of a Fit Place to Build a
Plant.

Washington, October 1.-THE Naval
Armor Board will leave Washington
next Saturday for the South to look
at certain places with view to ascer-
tanning their availability for sites for
the proposed armor plant. The first
stop will be made at Birmingham, Ala.
Thence the Board goes to Sheffield Ala,
to Chattanooga, Knoxville and Eliza
bethton, Tenn, in the order named 1t
is barely possible that later on the
Board will visit Piedmont, W. Va. in
view of the urgent request of West
Virginia public men. Great numbers
of appeals are coming to the depart
ment from various localities possessing
any kind of an iron plant to have the
Board sent there to look at their re-
sources, but in view of the fact that
the Board has no authority to make
any recommendation as to the location
of the plant, it is felt that such time
would not be usefully spent By the
act of Congress Secretary Long is
charged with the duty of submitting
a description of the lands, buildings
and machinery needed for an armor
plant, but this is not construed to
mean anything more than the submits
sion Of plans for plant, although he
may volunteer recommendation as
to the site

STEEL VS.. WOODEN BARGES.

The use of steel in the construction
of craft for the navigation of interior
waterways is steadily growing and ex-
tending. Beginning with the lakes,
where steel has almost wholly sup
planted wood in marine construction,
the next important step was the con-
struction of a type of steel boat to
navigate Lake Erie and the New York
canals. The success of that experiment
has revolutionized canal navigation.
Not only has it been proved that steel
boats are in every way better than wood
for canal navigation, but it has also
been demonstrated that they are safe
and staunch lake and river craft. This
fact obviates the necessity of transfer
of cargo at the junction of lake and
canal and practically extends the Erie
Canal to any port desired on the lake.
Now steel is to invade the Mississippi
River system. A line of steel barges
is to be constructed at St. Louis to be
employed in the transportation of grain
to New Orleans. 1t is planned to
make the boats of size sufficient to car
ry 800 tons, and with its load one of
these barges will draw but fifteen
inches of water against the five feet
draft of a wooden boat, making nav
igation possible all the year round. 1t
is calculated that grain can be car
ried from St. Louis to the seaboard at
New Orleans at the exceedingly low
rate of three cents bushel.
This will give the river route a great
advantage over the railroads. 1t will
also bring the Mississippi route into
competition with the lakes and coal
lines for part Of the Western grain
trade and will make New Orleans an
other competitor of New York for the
ocean grain traffic
The interest of the Ohio Valley in
this innovation in river craft is almost
Identical with that of the great Missis-
sippi; the character of the streams is
the same to a great extent and the
same craft is used in navigating them.
There is possibly valuable hint in
this for our local steel manufacturers,
for these light steel boats, which ap-
pear to be destined to supercede the
heavy draft wooden barges that now
burden the river when there is "coal
rise" will open wide the gates to a new
and very extensive branch of the steel
industry and steel construction. Wheel
share of it.

THE HORRORS OF KLONDIKE.

The golden glories of the Yukon
have been turned to a hideous and
CHASTITY specter. More than one man
who has followed this will-o'- the-wisp
of the frozen North has been lured
to his death. The stories that are
coming from the Klondike country
are stories Of hardship, privation, sui
fering, disease and death. Vessels
that are now on their way to the
head waters of the Yukon will never
reach their destination. They will be
frozen in all winter. The stream Of
humanity coming from the Chilcoot
pass is far greater than the stream
going towards it. Only a few are en-
deavoring to make the pass and Of
that few only small proportion will
succeed.
There are now 1000 tons of provis-
ions at ST. Michael's waiting trans
portation to the interior and though
$3.50 ton is offered for its transporta-
ton to Dawson there is not boat to
accept the offer. The price of provis-
ions has gone up at fearful rate and
it will cost those that are there every
cent they possess to live. The unpar-
alleled rush to the Klondike, une-
quipped to stand the rigors OF the
climate, is monument to human
folly.

lies MISERABLES."
Victor Hugo's Famous Book, Barred
from the Girls High School at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, October 12-"Les Mis-
cradles" Victor Hugo's masterpiece Of
fiction and sociology, has been barred
out of the girls high school of this city
on the ground that it is impure. An
animated discussion preceded the de-
cisiOn of the committee of the board of
education. VIM. D. Rorer, principal of
the school, presented to the committee
a list Of text books required by it.
Chairman Morton looked over the titles
and when he spied Lies Miserables" in
French, he instantly objected, declaring
that he regarded the work as decidedly
improper to put in the hands of high
school girls Richardson L. Wright, a
member of the committee, had read the
work and regarded it as perfectly
shocking in it's relations to the French
added, ''to put in the hands of pupils,
even if they are French students"
Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, the only wo-
man member of the committee, was the
only defender of Hugo's immortal work,
but her solitary protest was speedily
overruled. She said it had doubtless
been recommended as being typical of the
highest classical French literature.
Chairman MORTON CnuS expressed MS
views:
'My objection is to the tone of the
book. It. deals as anyone who has read
it knows, with the grisettes of France.
That in itself is condemnatory 1 think
that we who have charge of the public
schools have sacred trust and we can
not be too cautious in setting before
the young girls and boys that which
detracts from their ideals of virtue and
purity. Their parents hold us respon-
sible and we owe duty to them and to
lthe girfs1snff the book is in a library
that is different thing, for the childs
parents are supposed to keep an eye
over what she reads; but to require
pupils to read tainted book Is wrong.
I would object to any classic. even some
of Shakespeare's works, if they are i'm
moral"

HEARING ARGUMENTS

The Assistant District Attorney Continues
HIS speech to tho Luetg.rt Jury.
CHICAGO. October 12.-People who adj
mire legal oratory crowded the criminal
court building to-day and pressed their
way toward Judge Tuthill's court room.
Less than half the crowd was admitted
Assistant States Attorney McEwan re-
sumed his argument. and it was an
naunced that he would speak all day.
Mr.. McEwan to-day took up the subject
of sesasmoids. This soon brought him to
a consideration of the evidence of DIR.
w. H. ABORT chief astrological expert
for the defense. Rarely is a witness
handled with the biting sarcasm and
scornful denunciation that was heaped
upon this celebrated expert
He came upon the witness stand with
all the arrogance and self-assuranoe of
bully" shouted the speaker, land left it
as meek and lowly as any being who ever
entered this building. He exposed to the
medical profession in open court his
ignorance, and made himself the laugh
ing stock of experts the world over"
The mistakes DR.. Airport is alleged to
have made in identifying different bones
were enumerated. discussed and ridiculed
in the most cutting manner at the speak
er's command. Mary Siemmering was
the subject of the attorneys remarks
during the afternoon. He dwelt upon her
alleged relations with Luetgert, and
charged that she was the primary cause
of the murder of Mrs. Lretgert The
woman's testimony on the witness stand
was torn to shreds, and she was de-
nOlnced in nnme Sl1rod torpoc
Mr.. McEwen took up the entire day
with his argument and went over the
case carefully, connecting the details of
the evidnce for the jury and showing
how one circumstance fitted into anoth-
er, and how the whole mass of evidence
submitted by the State furnished, in
his opinion, full and complete cir
cumstantial chain proving that Luet-
CERT had murdered his wife in order
that his relations with his servant girl,
Mary Siemmering, might remain I'M
disturbed.
Throughout the entire argument
Luetgert listened to the speech of the
attorney who was asking for his life,
with the greatest attention. He never
took his eyes off Mr.. McEwan for
more than an instant, and the heavy
scowl that is habitual with him deep
ened as the assistant States attorney
pointed out circumstance after circUm-
stance that weighed against his inno-
cence. 1t is now practically certain
that all of the arguments will be
finished so that the case will be given
to the jury by Saturday night at the
latest.

for the defense. He will speak all day
and possibly part of Thursday. Then
ex-Judge Vincent will speak a day
and half in closing for the defense
States Attorney Deneen, who is a re-
markably rapid speaker, will close the
case Saturday, speaking the entire day.

construe the law - to rotate Demo
Gratis out of once and provide places
for Hanna Republicans. The Assist
ant Attorney General has been work.
ing the shell game on the deputies en-
ployed in the revenue service, and he
has decided that all Democratic depu-
ties may be dismissed without cause.
This decision is to be reversed next
month, after the Ohio election.
Aside from this special feature Of
the situation, however, it is not sur
prising that the Republicans should
take this view of the law. They never
intended that it should work except
in one way-to keep Democrats out of
Office. The indications are that by the
close of Mr.. McKinley's term the civil
service law will be nothing but
painful Renaissance.
Mr.. Cleveland honestly endeavored
to enforce the civil service law, and
the result was that great many DEM
~ocrats were kept out of Office, and he
was severely criticised for his strict
ness. During the two administrations
of Mr.. Cleveland the Republicans could
see much to commend about the civil
service law, as it's operation tended to
keep large percentage OF them in Of
flee, but now that Republican Presi-
dent is at the helm, and the odors
from the flesh pots have reached the
nostrils of the hungry multitude, the
legal machinery of the government
has been set to work in the dark to
choke the life out of the civil service
law and hang its shriveled hide on
the fence to dry. The Republican
statesmen seem to lack the manhood
to come out openly and repeal the law.

Gold has begun to come in from
abroad in payment for our crops, and
the British gold standard papers in
this country are bowling with delight
But this movement will not continue
longer than two months at the out
side, and then what? 1t is not likely
another crop famine next year, and
when we get down to normal con-
ditions once more on the British gold
basis and with deficiency breeding

The London Times thinks nothing
more will be heard from the Bank of
England's offer to hold silver as
portion of its reserve fund. Certainly
not. England and her mighty bank
saw the advisability Of throwing a sop
to the silver whale, but they never
really intended to make provision for
even a larger use of silver. Under
the gold standard England rules the
commercial and financial world. A
return to bimetallism would leave
England shorn of it's power And no
one knows this better than John Bull
himself.

Several Matters of Importance Disposed OF
Yesterday-The White Injunction - Ea-
tons Application for Habeas Corpus.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, October 12-
In the case of Rich VS.. Gillespie, part
ners in the oil business in the Cairo
field, on the application of Rich, Judge
Jackson, of the U. S. Court, granted a
temporary injunction restraining Gill
lespie and the Eureka pipe line from re-
moving the property. Arguments for
a receiver will be made October %.
Judge jackson also handed down the
following order to-day:
VIM. Butler, ]. G. Ruckman and H.
c. Berry VS.. A. B. White, ct al.
A. B. White, Esq, the Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the district, having
represented to the Court that there ex-
lists an actual necessity for gauger to
gauge spirits that may be manufactur-
ed into the bonded warehouse of the
Hannis Distillery Company, and also
that there is a necessity for an addi-
tional storekeeper to weigh in grain
and attend to meal rooms, etc, in con-
nectiOn with the operating Of the distil
lery, and unless authority is given to
employ these additional laborers he will
be uneable to let the distillery be run.
1t is therefore ordered that leave be
granted TO employ the additional gauger
and storekeeper that he desires, pend
ing the proceeding upon the Injunction
in this court. But this order is in no
wise to affect the rights of any of the
parties interested in these proceedings.
Application was made this afternoon
by attorneys for a writ of habeas cor
pus, for the release of VIM. Eaton. The
prisoner was brought here in charge
of the Sheriff of Ohio county. Judge
Jackson, after hearing the evidence, re-
manded the prisoner to the custody of
the Sheriff, and will take time to con-
slider the case.
