SHIPPERS PROTEST..
BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE ASKED TO
CHANGE LOAD LINE.

How the Decline Of American Shipping
Has Plsoed Our Ocean Commerce Under
the Arbitrary Rule Of Foreign Die
tators-Petitions For Relief.
VESSELS are seriously affecting the commercial
interests of American ports situated to the
northward OF the Virginia capes Asestablish
ed by the British board OF trade and enforced
by Lloyds' and other dominating marine in
surance companies. the load rules are batten
ing the trade OF New Orleans, Norfolk and
Baltimore and sapping the shipping activities
Of Philadelphia, New York and Boston Pro-
tests hitherto made have been unheeded, but
80 vital has the question become that northern
merchants have just united in q petition to
the British authorities and asked for the recti
hcation OF regulations which are based upon
conditions no longer existing.-New York
Herald.
1t is sad condition Of affairs tina:
exists when American merchants, trans.
acting business in an American city.
are compelled to unite in petition to
the British authorities and seek relief
from British rules and regulations that
Cypress American business!
But this condition of British marine
supremacy has existed for nearly 100
years now and Americans have meekly
suffered for so long under this form OF
British domination that we have con-
tinued bearing the foreign yoke without
even murmur. But the worm seems
t. have wriggled at last The British
heel, however, is so firmly embedded in
the worms back that its wriggling is
likely to be futile, and the poor sufferer
will not be able to turn against its op-
pressor
AS practically all our foreign CON-
merce is carried in British vessels, as
practically all our marine insurance is
carried by British companies, and as
all is dominated by the British board Of
trade and by the British LloyCs. what
can an American business man do about
it? He can simply 60 on doing as he is
told, as he has done during the present
century, with the sole satisfaction Of
knowing that, as long as the British
marine monopolists feel like it. they
will continue "bat; ening the trade OF
New Orleans, Norfolk and Baltimore
and sapping the shipping activities OF
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. "
And this is America s shame. Shame
that it has existed all these years past.
Shame that it exists today. Shame that
it will exist tomorrow. Shame that it
must continue until we can find an
American congress that will legislate
for American shipping and for Ameri-
can shipping interests and relieve us
from the oppression and shame Of de-
pendence upon the United Kingdom, a
feeling SO repugnant to the independ-
ence of the United States

Tree Surgery.

The decay and death of stately old
trees is sad spectacle. Every city, every
country home, witnesses yearly the loss
Of beautiful old forest trees, in some
eases centuries old.
It has been supposed there was NO
way Of arresting the decay Of an ancient
tree when once it set in. Recent expert
ments have. however, shown this to be
Q mistake. Modern science has decreed
that there need not be any more old
people 1t has now asserted positively
that magnificent elms, oaks, sycamores,
pines and their brethren Of the woods
need not die at all. That is the result
declared to be arrived at by the De Car
system Of pruning.
In brief, it il trimming back the long
branches Of the old tree third or even

Of the tree leave its roots and trunk and

Sleep NJ an Aid to Digostion.

There Is q time honored notion that a
nap after meals promotes digestion, and,
filled with this belief, large number of
persons habitually take nap aftor dinner
and think they arc doing precisely the
best thing for their health. There are
other good authorities, too, who claim that
sleep during digestion clouds the mind
and predisposes those who indulge In 1t to
apoplexy and stupidity. A French scientist
has made this subject study and by OK
haustive experiments has discovered that
sleep does not aid digestion, but rest and
q horizontal position are Of great advan-
tage in promoting the proper conditions
for perfect digestion and assimilation OF
food.-New York Ledger.

Hon. Andrew H. Green of Brooklyn
is the man to whom the existence OF
Greater New York is due. He proposed
the scheme ten years ago. He agitated
it day after day and never let up. His
patience and good temper never wore
out, neither his capacity for explaining
things. At first the idea was hooted,
especially by the ohiceholders of Brook
Ign; then it was bitterly opposed. Then
came time when it was seriously con-
sidered, and finally after being put to
vote among all the people who would
constitute the dew corporation it was
adopted, thus triumphantly vindicating
the man who knew how to wait and
how to work while he waited.

were made off his delivery and he struck

Goss. the new catcher, showed up all
right. He played an ell around good
game, and his backstop work was excel
lent. He is quick, does not drop the ball
at times like some catchers, and his
throwing to bases is excellent. In fact,
his throwing is by long odds his forte.
He was lightning in getting the ball to
the basemen. and in every instance, It
went straight into their hands.
Dan Charlton played his first game with

scored the first run that was made, got

JEwELLED CARRIERS AND ALL.
A Tilted Man Takes Legal Steps To-
ward Recovering Presents Made
While Counting.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Lincoln. Neb., July H.-A novel case was
developed over the rupture of a love af-
fair among Lincoln's society people. It
promises the most embarrassing results.
since the Tilted lover declares he will have
every one Of the many costly presents
which he has given the young lady during
a two years courtship, and among these
presents are a number Of jeweled garters,
which the young lady refuses to surren-
der. He follows with a repleVin action,
and the determination Of the young man
to send an officer In search for the jeweled
garters and other articles has caused the
most animated discussions in local society
circles.
II has all grown out OF the engagement
announced yesterday OF Miss Grace Oak
ley, daughter of o. r. Oakley, and the
Hon. Joseph Walsh. an attorney Of Port
Huron, Mich Miss Oakley was one Of the
maids of honor at the great Ak sar Ben
ball last year. and Is a leading society
lady Her family is one Of the finest in the
state.
The printed announcement Of the en-
gagement was the first intimation TO Mr..
Henry Lansing wealthy Lincoln man,
who thought he was engaged to Miss Oak
ley. that the arrangements between him
self and the young woman had been de-
cared Off The young man Immediately.
through his father. made a demand for
sundry valuables and costly presents
which he had presented to Miss Oakley
during the past two years, but met with
a distinct refusal TO produce them.
The presents are valued by him at from
500 to 5000. and include. besides o watch
or two, an engagement ring and other
rings, some jeweed carriers, and other
things which 81 would be difficult TO re-
cover without the young woman's consent
The demand Of the young man for the
retunrn OF his presents. through his
father, has been followed up by demand
through an attorney. who succeeded in
recovering a souvenir clasp pin and an
expensive mandolin. but was not entirely
successful. The attorney threatened a
rcpievn suit unless the presents we're pro-
duced. but the young woman limited that
perhaps they were not IN her possession at
present.
The embarrassing situation has reached
"a stage where Mr.. Walsh has been wired
TO return here. The rejected suitor refuses
TO accept Miss Oakley's statement thu
she has not the Jewels.

The loss OF the game by Savannah can
