cure the insertion of that bill of an
appropriation for the lock and dam Z?
The necessity for it is plain, the argu-
5ment is all on our side, and finally the
United States Engineers have reported
in favor of it.. However, we may nev-

unless we make the proper effort to Sc

Mr.. VanVoorhis is doing all he can
and he may be able to handle the mat

The protection of the Ohio river
bank above Marietta is of such i'm
portance that 1T would justify a big eff
fort TO secure an appropriation. 1t
will never be done until it is included
in River and Harbor bill, at least,
that is what Major Bixby, the En-
gineer in charge at Cincinnati, says,
and he knows how such things are
done.

Money Flows H. Water.l ].

A study of Mr.. Letters experiences
for a year or so leads to She belief that
miliionaires have their woes. We are
prone TO look upon them as men with
out cares, whose days are spent in
idleness, whose nights are spent in
sleeping. Evidently,aMr. Letter is not
in this class of comfortable men.
Joseph, his son, got him into trouhle
In Chicago. The lad was engaged in
,ornering the wheat--sometlmes prof
table, sometimes not, and always dan
5erous. 1t was the part of the million
lire father in the end to pay the bills
1t the sacrifice of bfg slice of his val
liable Chicago real estate.
About the time this work of charity
vas ended, Mr.. Letter heard that his

1t may be troublesome for him, but

TO BE A GOOD TEST.
Government Ownership of Telegraph
Lines in Porto Rico.
Opportunity Afforded OF Fairly
Proving the wisdom of the Plan
IF successfuI May he Tried
in This Country.

The situation in Porto Rico promises
to force on this government for
time at least the experiment of federal
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines. The war department now con-
trolls all lines in Porto Rico and in the
evacuated sections of Cuba. The lat
ter, however, is looked upon as merely
transient. In both places the lines are
being repaired and the government Is
handling commercial messages after
government matter. The signal service
in charge of this work says 1t is too
soon TO draw conclusions as TO the eN-
pense of the service, as the cost Tor
maintenance and long delayed repairs
is Just now more than the income from
the lines. But in six months from the
list of January the signal service en-
poets to be able TO furnish some inter-
csting data as TO the profit in the in
sulnr wire service. The military ocou7
patton of the lines will nat urally CON
tinue till the establishment of civil
government and considerable interest
is expressed as to how the management
of the lines will be disposed eventually
or whether il will be permanently re-
tained by the government. ms en-

The Improvement in the Council
Chamber is assuming form. A triple
platform has been built FOR the ac-
commodation of the President, the So
licitor and the Clerk; and a curved
railing has been put across the room.
When the room is carpeted and the
new desks placed, the apartment will
be very cozy, but we think, too small,
the space for the visitors being alto
geuher too limited. We would suggest
mat to remedy this, the partition be-
tween the chamber and The Clerks Of
fee be taken down, and The two rooms
made one. The entrance could be at
the present Clerks door.
Such an arrangement would afford
light and good ventilation, and great
ly increase the seating capacity OF the
apartment. The space between the
vault and rear portion would be avail
able asa lobby to the chamber.
lne eStka expense would be small
and the improvement in added room
would easily justify it.

The Man Who Never Slept.

KenoSha, Wis, Dec. 20.--AIil Iillionaire
Edward Balm, president of the Balm
Wagon company, whose death is an
nounced from Pasadena, Cal, was ia
miliarly known as the man "who nev-
er slept" and it is doubtful If another
case like his exists. 1t is virtually a
fact that for The last 16 years he did
net sleep an hour in his bed. Constant
devotion to business was the cause of
his sleeplessness, he having been
known to remain in his factory up to
l6 years ago as late as 4 or 5 O'Clock
in the morning, and when, he sought
rest found it impossible to sleep. At
that time he practically relieved him
self of business cares.
For the greater part of the past ten
years it was his custom to take daily
trips to Chicago to pass the time away
in street-car riding and driving dur
ing the day, and at night he was al
ways to be found either at a theater or
4 billiard hall, which were the only
places he was able TO get a short nap,
The music at the theaters and the
clicking of che billiards alone afford
ing him short spells of repose. He
was born in Undertook, N. Y, rs
years ago. The cause of his death was
pulmonary apoplexy.

Citizens Of an Illinois Town Dispense
With the Morning Meal,

go without your breakfast and
quit between-meal Iibbling. Drink
when Thirsty and eat whenever your
appetite Graves" These, in brief, are
the injunctions laid down by DR.. Ed
ward Hooker Dewey, and which he has
given for score of years.
AS result, many Elgin, Illinois,
citizens have thrown physic to the
dogs" it might be said, their break
fast, too, for they have abandoned
their morning meal and will have none
OF it. They have acted upon DIR. Dew
ey's advice and are giving their stom-
achs a rest.
Whether 1t is fad or not, it has
come to stay in Elgin, and the results
are said to be already apparent in the
improved feeling and appearance of
those who have adopted the true
science of living" and those who have
tried 1t longest speak most highly in
its praise. r..
Among the enthusiasts in Elgin are
dnembers oftne clergy and IOthers in.
professional life.
The foundation on which rests the
argument Of the anti-breakfast advo-
cate is that restful sleep is not hun
generating process; that breakfast is
a mere habit that when eating when
food is not required is a positive in
jury; that the rest afforded by alb
staining from food from supper to din
ner times gives chance for the ac-
eumulation of gastric juices which at
once take hold of the dinner in process
OF digestion. 1t has been shown by
experiments that this way of living Is
ahAe suitable to the person of indoor
habits and to the farmer laborer and
craftsman of every kind.-St. Louis

sentence from Hamilton county for as

More Governor Talk.

Tne gubernatorial situation in Ohio,
from Republican point of view, is
sizzling. Never before, perhaps in
the history OF Ohio politics has there
been so much talk about prospective
campaign and candidate. Yesterday
about the hotels and streets and
wherever Republicans gathered the
situation was discussed and proghosti-
cations made as to the final outcome
of the present e,situatlon. The an
nouncement in this column that,short-
ly after the opening fNthe new year
there would be some substantial de-
velepments indicating wheret hechoice
of the party might fall, caused no end
of tax, and the entire corrscmess of
he proposition was confirmed 1t
was deemed an excellent move on the
part of the party leaders to get to-
gether before any friction was en-
yendered and an agreement reached
rs to the candidate that wohld best
represent the Republicans OF Ohio in
the coming battle.
The conference referred to will prob

and not in this city, as reported, and

Fifty Thousand Men For Cuba.

The wisest, most far-sighted decis-
ion yet made in regard to Cuba is that
announced by General Corbin, that
$4,000 troops will be placed in the Is
land.
This is large force. Cuba is the size
of North Carolina. 1t has today less
chan the population of Philadelphia.
The army proposed is two and one half
times as large as England sent to
Egypt 1t is as large as the army
France uses TO keep order in Algeria,
lour times as large and with five times
The population Of Arabs and Berber5,
all armed. England has only $4,000
white soldiers to care for 1000 600
square miles and 100000, 900 of people
in India. The war department pro-
poses Ito put $4,000 men into an island
The size of Ceylon and with not third
it's population.
But the plan is wise, economical and
effective. Cuba has not had real peace
in 80 years, since insurrection broke
out in 1868. Since then the roads have
never been safe. The fields have new
er been protected: Bandits have Turk
deverywhre. Insurgent bands, hon
estly fighting for freedom, added to the
disorder. The cities are full of sym
pathizers with brigands. Large Cuban
armed forces remain. Planters and
peasants are both in the habit of sub
mitting to lawless and brutal levies,
now by Spanish troops and now by Gu
Dan, now by organized bands of rob
Oers and now by casual thieves.
Order has to be built up from the
bottom. The one way to do this swift
ly, thoroughly and without delay or
defeat is to place an irresistible force
on the island, body so large that no
one will dream of fighting its repre-
5entatives anywhere. In the end this
will prove the cheapest plan,-Phila-
delphia Press
