We are going TO find that Russell Alex
ander Algcr will be a thoroughly ac-
ceptable Secretary OF War. The general
is approachable, sincere, business-likc. He
has made great money himself after Il
career in the army as brilliant almost as
that of any living Union soldier, and he
and his wife used to rough it together,
perhaps on So a week, perhaps on less,
when Alger was a lumberman. Socially,
the Algers will make delightful impress
sion here; that / am sure of. You have
noticed Algers great. fine eyes. The
girls all have them, and they are so de-
voted to their father and their mother
and TO one another among themselves, and
they have had SO much of the advantage
of education and travel, that there is
hardly home that l know OF that is
more delightful. 1t wasso in Detroit, and
it is certain to be so here.

But then again one doesn't want all
science and philosophy. There is the great
game of international politics and some
of its crack players, with lots OF medals
to show for it, may be mixed with at
another club. Not all the members enjoy
this privilege, which is reserved for the
'haut tom and, of course, that includes
the Autocrat.

foreign war was pending, that l met there

that L knew anything about the country

We aren't permitted to forget, we who
read the newspapers, that Joe Rawlins is
a candidate for the Senate from Utah;
and let me observe that Joe is curious
customer. He has a temper which might
be called quick if it isn't violent. You
all know how he resigned his job as Dele
gate from Utah just because some one
inteTfered with his own well established
views as TO the fitness OF certain persons
for office. But, fortunately, Gale West
was Governor of Utah, and as Rawlins and
West were both Democrats this Rawlins
letter OF resignation got lost in the mails
somewhere. Rawlins wrote another letter
some time ago, and in it he declared that
he shouldn' / under any circumstances be
candidate for the Senate. But it appears
that what he really meant was that he
shouldn't be a candidate under any circum-
stances that could possibly exist, and il
they do exist, why that is the Hon. Joe's
extenuation. lawyer in one of the

Secretary Gage is spending few
days at his home in Chicago and in
conversation with reporter among
other things said:

These unfortunates, whom hard
times have hurt in their Legitimate

weeded away by financial troubles
which only those strong in credit
and fertile in industry could with
stand, as a last resort come flocking
to Washington, thinking that the
omnipotent Government can alleviate
their distress,
at is unfortunate for these appli-
cants that the Government, as well
as well-managed business enterpris-

departments, and that civil service
turns away these poor unfortunates,
who have the virtue Of persistence,
at least, in begging for help"

WASHINGTON, Oct. LIT is stated by
persons familiar with Nicaragua canal
affairs that either the United States or
the Nicaragua Canal company will in
stitute an inquiry concerning the recent
grant by Nicaragua to the Atlas Steam
ship company, British corporation, of
exclusive rights Of navigation for the
next 80 years of the San Juan river and
lake Nicaragua These two water
ways are said to form two of the links
Of what will ultimately be the Nicara-
qua canal. The state department re-
Gently received q report from Consul
O'Hara in Nicaragua giving brief de-
tails of the concession granted to the
British company and stating that it
embraced various exclusive privileges
in the Silicon lagoon, the San Juan
river and Lake Nicaragua
Since then additional information
has become available as to the plans Of
the Atlas company. The Silicon lagoon
is said to be off the route of the canal,
and there appears to be no reason why
this should not pass into the exclusive
control of the British company. The
excavation beginning at Greytown and
running thence west unite with the
San Juan river, which in turn leads to
Lake Nicaragua, after which the artifi-
cial cut is continued to the Pacific.
Under these circumstances it is said
that exclusive privileges of navigation
in these two waterways for the next 30
years would in effect limit the naviga-
ton of the Nicaragua canal. Whether
the concession makes any exception in
this regard is not known, as the reports,
fv,r n linz .f Ear 20, AZ
state department, merely state that the
concession is an exclusive one. An off.
cial familiar with Nicaragua canal af-
fairs said that the concession would
have to be construed as subsequent to
that of the canal company, and the lat
ter's rights to the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. he believed. would be
fully recognized by Nicaragua.
But the danger, he added, was that
when the American companys conces-
sion expired two years hence, then the
British corporation would succeed,
under the terms of the recent conces.
sion, to all exclusive rights of nayiga-
ton in these two links of the canal.
For this reason it was believed that
the government, or the canal company,
would take steps to learn definitely if
this exclusive privilege extended to the
privilege of navigating the lake and
river when they became part of the
interoceanic canal.

Inherited
Blood faint.

Here is case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of ifnpurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tons are weak and cannot Withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, OF Addie, N. c.,
believes SIS. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate ca es. He says:

case of Scfofula ever heard of. He

traced the letters with his fingers
His lips moved as if he were spelling
out the words. Before he had finished
the "Keep away" brick fell from
an upper story and struck him square

up he backed across the sidewalk and
examined the big cash in his hat. AS

Hon. George c. Sturgiss spoke at
| length in favor of having the bridge
built in the present place. The grade
to be raised so as 10 allow the Black
Bottle railroad to pass under it. He
thought it would not be at all wise to
build on Foundry street. Ii would
require much more OF an outlay He
suggested that the bridge be erected
on the plan OF a viaduct. Referring
to cost of construction he said that
Mr.. Meerydith who has the contract
from the commissioners for building
the bridge had carefully estimated
the cost and stated that without
stone work, merely the iron work
would cost $2400. This with the $500
the county court had appropriated
plus$l600 for grading and stone work,
making total of $500 would be suffl-
Gent to build the bridge.
He was Of the opinion that the two
councils should authorize their mayors
to sign the contract for the $2400
after they had decided in what proper
tion the expense would be borne by
the two towns. Mr.. Sturgiss who has
property on both sides of the bridge
agreed to waive all damages and
should it be necessary TO use any of
his land he agreed To give IT,
Mr.. Z. Nj. Grant spoke, reiterating
all Mr.. Sturgiss had said The ceun-
ellis then separated to discuss among
themselves what the proposition
should be. Afterwards they met in
joint session.
Morgantewn submitted on her side
proposition which would certainly
seem fair. She agreed TO pay 5s Of
the cost leaving South Morgantown to
pay 3-s. This proposition was receiy-
ed with disdain by South Nor
gantown. They in time submitted a
remarkable proposition. They want
ed the cost paid by each to be in pro-
| portion to the taxable property in
each borough.
OF course any one can see that the
benefits accruing TO the two towns
will not be in any such proportion.
So Morgantown refused TO accept such
terms. South Morgantown was equal
ly firm and the conference finally after
hours of oratory adjourned.
Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss was disguised
with the whole matter and said this
morning 81 wash my hands of Che
whole matter. Hours Of the most val
liable time have been wasted in the
matter and not five minutes longer
will be spent by myself in bringing
them TO terms What the result
will be is now only conjecture,
All day Mr.. r. Meredith has been
trying to get South Morgantown to
come TO some sort of agreement. He
is now before the council over there
