PICKING UP a CABLE END.
A Delicate Operation Performed In
Rough weather

Rough Weather.
novel method OF Lifting a buoyed
cable end is described by writer in a
London paper. He states that this
method has the impor,ant advantage of
oe'rg free from all usual risks TO boat
r,i bouts crew, and 1as successfully
asopted on a recent important cable
aging expedition, when the weather
N6s too rough to even allow of a boat
being lowered without danger to the
men. On this occasion the modus op-
elandi was as follows: The ship, a yes
sci Of some $500 tons (gross). paid out
200 fathoms of buoy rope, with cent?
rede grapnel attached TO the end of it,
the depth Of water being 2.s0O fathoms,
and steamed round the buoy at dis
tance of about SO fathoms until the CEN
tipede and rope became entangled, as
they very soon did, with the buoy
moorings, which were then hauled into
the blight and the buoy then cleared
from The bow baulks. BY this means
not only was the end of the cable read
lily brought on board without risk and
with very little trouble, but several
days of valuable time, which would 9th
erwise have been lost in waiting for the
weather to moderate sufficiently, were
saved and the cable was successfully
completed. With vessels of smaller
imensions, such as those usually en-
ployed for cable repairs, this operation
would, no doubt, be still more easily
effected. A French telegraph engineer
has the credit of being the first to sug-
gest and practically apply this in
genious and novel idea, which is TO be
commended to the notice of those who
are engaged more particularly in sub
marine cable laying and repairing
work

The Springfield Republican asks
if American Judges would consider
this incident contempt of court: A
prisoner in a sheep-stealing case in
Queenstown, Cape Colony, became
50 Interested in the legal argument
that he offered to bet the Judge 10
shillings that he was wrong in his
view of the law. The fellow was
finally discharged, but before leav-
ing the court he offered to pay the
Judge the stakes because now he
was convinced that his Honor was
right on the legal point in question.
That no contempt was imputed was
shown by the hearty laugh which
came from the Judge at this climax.

A prominent mining man who
Just visited State line and Deerlodge
says those districts will become
among the most prominent in the
United States if the deposits crop
ping on the surface extend to depth

And now with the Queens jubilee
ended, the complaint comes that too
much prominence was given to til e
Army and navy displays and too
little credit given the statesmen whose
foresight made the display possible.
But the object was to impress be-

manifestations of physical strength
IS the best way in popular celebra-
hons to do this.

A practical lesson to Pops. is
given in this paragraph from the
New York Mail and Express; Cone
tenth of the railroads in Canada are
owned and controlled by the
Government and they cost the peo-
pie more than 100000 year over
and above their earnings. That is
how Government ownership of
transportation facilities operates in
the Dominion, and that is probably
how it would work here.

A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.

Mr.. Rockefeller was recently con-
demned for refusing to aid the distress
which was so prevalent in the town of
Virginia, MINI. 1t has now been dis
covered that instead of sending n check
for 81 900 as Mr. Carnegie did, Mr..
Rockefeller sent an agent to investigate
and ON his report opened Il mine at that
place and hired many of the starving
men.
If the above statement. which we find
in the Asheville Citizen, is correct, il IS
greatly to Mr.. Rockefcller's credit. The
man who helps men to help themselves
is the best public hcncfactor. He may
lc Justly criticized for other things. and
Rockefeller deserves to suffer the full
penalty of the law for his trust opera-
tions, but in using some of his ill-gotten
gains to provide employment for the un-
employed. he is doing intellectually better
than those others of his kind who be-
take themselves to Europe and spend
their money 10 buy Il titled husband ~

TO DRIVE OUT GAMBLERS.

Yesterday was pay day at the end Of

company has decided to resort to ex"

and women from the camps. To-day men
were sent through the camp to secure the
names and numbers of every man who
is employed on the railroad. Tomorrow

This unfortunate state of affairs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the
period of expectant motherhood, taken the
right care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible. A woman should al
ways keep these important organs well and
strong. Her own health and that of her
child depend upon it.
The best medicine for prospective moth
ers is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
makes healthy and strong the organs that
bear the burdens of maternity. It cures all
disease and weakness. 1t makes comfort
able the period preceding motherhood and
renders the advent of baby easy and nearly
painless. 1t insures healthy child. The

When Mr. Lusk voted for Mckinley

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
MAYoRALTY CAUSES CONTEST
In the Maryland Republican Convention
Which Conyenes To-day.


Baltimore, Md, Au. 25.-The Republi
can State convention which will meet
at the Atlantic Pavilion at Ocean City
tomorrow promises to be one of the
livelest in the history of the party in
Maryland. The convention will nomi-
nate candidates for State Comptroller
and Clerk of the Court of Appeals. A
new State central committee will also
be elected.
But the chief interest in the cOnclave
centres about the result of the fight in
the ranks of the party in this city. In
the contest for the mayoralty nomination
Senator Wellington, as leader of the
organization forces, has endorsed Theo.
Marburg. The friends of VIM. L.
Malster, president of the Columbian
Iron Works, protested against having
their champion thus ignored and made
an issue before the people, Malster de-
veloping' great strength at the primary
elections held in his interest. The two
sets of primaries eliminated in two city
conventions, which last night named two
candidates for mayor. At the same time
in each of the three legislative districts
which cover the entire city, two district
conventions were had, each nominating
full delegates to the State convention.
Which of these delegations will be
recognized by the convention is the
mooted question.
Senator Geo. l.. Wellington left here
last night for Ocean City. AS chairman
of the State central committee he will
call the convention to order. In discuss
ing the condition of affairs in Baltimore,
the Senator said that the real cause of
the trouble was ambitions and jealous
les. He thinks that the State convention
will sustain the organization.
State Comptroller Robt.. p. Graham
is a candidate for denomination and will
be successful.

that Governor Russell contemplated re-
moving two of the Railroad Commits
sioners on the charge that they were so
connected by business i. arrangements
with the Southern Railway that they are
not fair Commissioners, seems to have
had foundation. s
Yesterday the Governor sent letters

citing the allegations against them and
giving them until next week to answer
the matters alleged. The letters appear
elsewhere in to-day's issue.
If the Governor had summarily re-
moved these officers without hearing,
