were but little over 500 apart. The in
tending bidder made his own calculation,
adding 10 per cent to actual cost, and had
the three sets Of figures revised by yet an
other authority, with the result that his bid
is among the highest on the list.
This fact gives rise to the suggestion that
it would appear to be urgently necessary
that a strict supervision of the work to be
done should be made, in order that it may
become matter of certainty that the spec
ifications are complied with. The city has
heretofore taken into account in awarding
contracts for public work the record of the
contractor as to his treatment of the work
ingmen whom he employs and the council
has deemed ii a matter of Importance to pro-
tect the laborers who perform the actual
work. There has been so much complaint on
the part of men who have been defrauded
Of their pay by contractors who have taken
work for less than it could possibly be done
for, that it would be entirely in order for
measures to be taken blythe council for the
better protection of the workingmen in the
awarding of these and other contracts.

A Shoplifter Paws Her Fine

Mrs. Mary Butler, middle-aged woman
who is addicted to drink, was sentenced yes
terday by Police Judge Morrison to pay
fine of $50 or be imprisoned sixty days in the
city Jail for petty larceny. Much to the sur
prise of the court officials, Mrs. Butler,
who was supposed to be destitute, dug up
the $50 at once from a receptacle which was
supposed to contain only one of her limbs,
and she was released. The woman was
caught purloining some rolls of ribbon in
the Chicago dry goods store on Spring street
several days ago and immed ediately bundled
to the city Jail by one Of Fixen & Co.'S en-
ployes.

EXPANSION and Downfall

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Colonel w. j. Bryan's views are right. -Four
hundred years before Christ, as every
student of history knows, great struggle
arose between the little Grecian states OF
Athens and Sparta. Both desired to ex-
pand. They possessed colonies or sympa-
thizing adherents in the island Of Sicily,
about five hundred miles distant from
Greece The Sicilian colonists were
wranging and fighting with each other
Pericles was the leading Athenian politician,
and was opposed byl that rash but brilliant
and fascinating demagogue, Alcibiades. On
the occasion of contest in regard to the
Athenian foreign policy, Alcibiades pre-
vailed over the caution and conservatism OF
Pericles, and these two Grecian states be-
came engaged in a distant naval war in
Sicily. The harbor of Syracuse witnessed
that celebrated and terrible naval conflict
which Thucydides has so graphically de-
ecribed. Athens paid just penalty Tor her
rashness in deserting the republican prin-
ciples Of Pericles. She had chosen to follow
Alcibiades, who had infected and blinded
her with his aristocratic ideas-"land
hunger and a lust for foreign conquest
hence, Judgment fell upon her people, whom
Pericles had enfranchsed and lifted up TO
happiness, prosperity and power. The
| foundations of the Attic state were shaken,
shattered and the glory, power and pros
pcrity of her people departed. Her people
never recovered from the blow, and Sparta,
| Thebes and Macedon in turn dominated the
Greek world to its shameful decline. Our
country possesses sufficient territory to sup
ply all needs for the next two centuries
more than enough to sustain two hundred
and fifty millions of people. With Porto
| Rico and Cuba guarding the isthmian canal,
with Hawaii and Guam as coaling and sup
ply stations along the route to Asia, we will
only need a naval and coaling station at
Manila or Subig bay, without being directly
responsible to the world for the vagaries
and incompetency Of, eight millions Of half
civilized lazarones. It is the condition of
the people of a country-their laws, insti-
tutions and intelligence-that brings power
and happiness to them.
What constitutes a statef
Not high-raised battlements or labored
| mound,
Thick walled or moated gate;
| Not cities, proud, with spires and turrets
crowned;
| Not bays and broad-armed ports.
Where. laughing at the storm, rich navies
ride.
No-men, high-minded men,
! With powers as far above dull brutes
| endued
| In forest, brake or den.
AS beasts excel cold rocks and brambles
| rude
| Men who their duties know;
| Who know their rights, and knowing dare
maintain,
Prevent the long aimed blow,
| And crush the tyrant while they rend the
| chain;
| These constitute state,
And sovereign law, the states collected
| WILL
Ger thrones and globes elate
Sits empress, crowning good, repressing Ill.
| Smit by her sacred frown
| The fiend, Dissension, like vapor sinks;
| And cen the all-dazzling crown
Hides his faint rays and at her bidding
| shrinks.' ADDISON.

Many defaulters expected. but this has

the weak bulls, however, cleared the air and
the feeling since has been distinctly improved
BUYERS are now waiting to take advantage OF
the recent slump, and any good news OF the

prompt effect in London. The only railway

A Long Way Pound.

In a streak of economy the Govern
ment has done away with the mail SER
vice across the Rainy River at Kooch-
iching, Mimi, so that it now takes
eight days of time and 1850 miles of
travel for a letter to go from this
place to Fort Frances, half a mile
away, in Canada. The mail used to be
carried across in a bark canoe, by a
half breed, who made a living by the
work. Now the mail goes $50 miles
by stage, 100 miles by rail to Duluth,
600 miles west and north to Winnipeg,
200 miles east by rail and 200 more
miles by steamer and to get to
the village that can almost be reached
with a shout by a strong lunged indi-
vidual. 1t is supposed to be the longest
way round for covering half a mile on
record anywhere, except in rare emer-
gencies.-New York Sun.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKEAM.l

49, La TALk WITH MkS. PlNkiAM.J
A woman with the blues is very I'M
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently h%ysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every oma who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
q weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is q woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by it
