SENATORIAL FIGHT IN WEST VA.

Result Depends Upon Which Party Can
Unseat the Most Legislators.
In West Virginia the democrats have
majority of seven in the house of rep
resentatives, while the republicans have
a majority of six in the senate. On joint
ballot, therefore, under present circuni-
stances the democrats would have ma
jority of one. But that is far from
meaning that the democrats will be able
to elect a United States senator to sue
coed Faulkner. The republicans are So
ing to try to overcome the majority of
the democrats in joint ballot by unseat-
ing democrats in the senate, and the
democrats are going to try to prevent
them from accomplishing their purpose
by unseating republicans in tie house.
Which party will win the sonatorship,
therefore, is merely question of which
can unseat the most members of the leg
islature.

DIETARY CRANKS.
Fruit Eating and Distilled Water Drink
ing and Their Results.

Fruit Eating and Distilled Water Drink
ing and Their ResuIts.
From the Alienist and Neurologist.
A sect has lately risen which has
evolved theory which is truly ponder
Gus in tho way in which it trampes
down the joys of the table. The Rails
ton Club has solved the mystery of arte-
rioscleross. Their logic is simple. The
arteries calcify; the lime-salts cause cal
ctication; all food except fruits and all
natural waters contain lime salts; ergo,
eat nothing but fruit, drink nothing but
distilled water. They apparently IS
sumo that with this one mighty brain
throb they have solved the problem of
If e, and have left men no shadow of an
excuse for dying under two hundred
years of age. The monkey, the nearest
of kin to the hairy prOgenitOr of man, is
appealed to as touching instance of
plain living 1--WE wish we could add high
thinking, but though the apostles OF
Ralston u.ay believe it they do not ex-
pressly say 50. The monkey, they tell
us, eats only fruits and never drinks
water with his meals. Presumably the
reason why he fails of the double CEN
fury mark in respect of age is because
he does not drink distilled water. The
Ralstonites pause in their consi Iteration
of the animal kingdom with the monkey.
This was unfortunate. The raven, for
instance, lives to be one hundred years
old. He lives ION carbon. The next
army of cranks may be induced to fol-
low his example.
The fruit-eatng craze is probably the
most degenerate the many recent fads.
The fruit-eating and pOt-belled natives
of the tropics and their next lowest rela-
tives, the apes, are truly inspiring OBJ
jects of imitation by civilized man not
even their out door and arbOreal lives
save them from the consequences of a
rueager and lrIitant regimen. 1t is truly
pltiful to see the army of Inconsistencies.

Drained enthusiasts. 1t Is fair to sup =
pose that troop of rickety children will
later rise up and call tEem anything but
blessed.
The fact with regard to fruit is tina
although it contains little nourisbment
1t agrees we'll with many people en-
dowed with vigorous gastric mucosa
and fairly alkaline blood. To them il
brings looseness and joy. In many dys.
peptic states it is the first fOod-stuff to
disagree, and to the ill.nourished neu~
raSthenc it is a miserable substitute for
the better tissue builders. An appeal to
the facts of evolution gives little COM
fort to the cranks of one dietary idea.
Primitive man has, as hunter and herds
man, thrived on an animal dietary. Nuts
and fruits have served his tuln as we'll,
and encouraged him to the cultivation
of the cereals. There is no evidence 10

New Way to Clear a Church Debt.

Rev. Hollngsworth, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Brunswick, has
shown his earnestness iu The welfare of
the church by making and carrying o 1T
proposition to the congregation that
will help relieve debt that has been
hanging over the church for years. He
proposed to his congregation to board
two weeks at time with the different
members, the proceeds of his board to
be devoted by them to paying off the
debt of the church. A number of the
members have accepted, and through this
joint liberality the church debt is being
wiped out.

Had it Reported That His Dead Body Had
Been Found. His Wife tainted.
A Lake Park citizen, who imbibed
rather freely of stimulants at Valdosta
one day last week, created big Sensa-
ton at his home by sending message
there stating that he was found dead at
Valdosta w hat he intended as a practical
joke worked we'll at every point. The
telephone man did not know him and he
reported the discovery of the dead man.
using bis own name as the man alleged
to be dead. At Lake Park committee
was appointed to break the news TO the
gentleman's family. They performed
their services as well as they could, be-
lieving that the story was true. The
wife of the joker tainted and passed into
a swoon and required medical attention
Other messages were sent to Valdosta
to find out the particulars, and then it
was that the truth was kno Rn. The
citizen appeared very much chagrined
at the result of his cruel joke.

A SUICIDEOF A LITTLE BOY,

Percy, the 16-year-old son of Mr.. E. E .
Ponder, who lives nine miles east of
Louisville, Ca, suicided few mornings
ago by shooting himself in the right
side of the body with shotgun.
Fearing punishment from his father
he stayed in the cottOnhOuse all night,
and when found in the morning by his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Garter, be shot him

an hour and half, dying before surgical

1t is being pointed out to the people

rescued from SPANS rule, are without
employment, homes, clothing, animals,
tools and pretty much everything else

this government having gone into the

railroads in Cuba and otherwise provide
employment for the natives. What a
great pity it is that this spirit of hu~

federal official circles some thirty odd
years ago, when the southern section
OF the United States was worse devas-
tated than Cuba has beenl No railroads
or other public works were instituted in
the south after the civil war in order to
afford the people the means of making a
living. The X-confedeTates were forced
to grub their living out of the ground, or

A Liberal spender of Public Money.

The esteemed aud honorable senate of
the United States, which is composed of
ninety excellent gentlemen when all of
the seats are filled, is liberal spender of
public money upon itself. During the
fiscal year which ended June so last the
expenses of the senate amounted to ST.
25O,786 70. The salary list of the senate
amounts, all told, to $486, 200, hence the
senate expended approximately $80O,0O0
upon itself for other purposes.

Claims Due to Spanish War viii Soon
Amount to s15 100000 Yearly.
Senator Jacob 81. Gallinger, chair
man of the senate committee on pen
sion claims, is a strong advocate
of some measure looking toward
the reduction of the country's enor-
nous pension rolls. No steps, hOwev-
ever, in his opinion, will be taken in
that direction during the present SEES
sion of congress. In this connection
Senator GaIlinger says:
81 do not know how large charge
pensions will be on the treasury next
year. The Appropriation will probably
be $I45 ,0OO, 900 exclusive of the pensions
granted on account of Spanish war
claims. These pensions will, | believe,
amount TO SIS 100000 or $50 ,OOO,OOO
year in the near future, but not just
at present.
"It is impossible to repeal any of the
general pension laws. Neither party
would undertake such responsibility.
The law of June 81, 1890, is the only
direction in which we could strike with
the nope of a reduction. What law is
very liberal one. 1t practically per
mits all soldiers and soldiers widows
to be penslOned.
81 believe President Garfield prophe-
sled that the pension rolls would never
amount to more than $50, 100000 or
$40 100000, There were many things
that were not anticipated at that time.
There are claims of nurses who served
SIX months and the widows claims
which have gone to increase the esti
mate. The great increase is largely
because of legislation. Then, again,
soldiers as a class are constantly press
ing for an increase in their pensions"
