Bride for People Who Snore

At last q genius in Tennessee has
discovered way to stop the snoring
habit. 1t consists of the simple brid-
ling of the mouth by means of BAN
dages which force the wearer to sleep
with his mouth shut.
Most snoring is caused by opening
the mouth in sleep. The jaws relax
and the base of the tongue, the tonsils
and the air passage sag in the larynx,
making it difficult for the respiratory
organs to operate with facility.
The device of the Tennesseean is
calculated to close the mouth and to
force the wearer to breathe through
the nasal channels, which. according
to the laws Of health and the very
physical construction of the throat
and larynx, is the only way to breathe
properly.
Those who have tried the bride say
it is uncomfortable at first, but when
one gets accustomed to it there are
sufficient benefits to justify the pangs
of the first few nights.
1t is also advantageous to people
who are troubled with catarrh, but its
prime advantage to civilization is the
rapidity with which it suppresses the
man who snores and keeps the entire
house awake.

Sc HCrucifed,"

Administration newspapers cannot ac-
cuse Senator Mason, of Illinois, Of
making charges against the War De-
partment for political effect for he has
been one of the administration warm
est supporters. Yet he saws:
Shameful, disgraceful, internal
damnable-there is no word or term
too strong to use. Some one has
blundered. Yes, it is we'll to say that
now, when it is too late. But some
one is responsible for allowing any
one to hold position where his
blundering will hurt. Will the apollo
gy of the government, 'some one has
blundered,' give us back our dead?
Will it cause us to forget the suffer-
ings of our fever-stricken boys? Will
it fill the aching void of our hearts?
Is it balm sufficient to heal the torn
and broken hearts that are bleeding
in thousands of homes throughout the
land? Will it make us forget the
agonies of our families, the bloody
sweat OF our camp? Some one has
blunderedn What an excuse for 4
government to make through the Sec
retary Of War.
"This is the crime of the century.
the tradegy of the nation. Our soldiers
have not poured out their hearts
blood on the altar of their country,
we have been crucified by blundering
and plundering oilicialdom. Our heads
are bowed i'll deepest woe We must bow
them lower with every shame. All
the world acclaimed one hundred days
war. Every tongue was aflame with
the glory of America; her valiant
army, her suberb navy. To-day the
world is stricken dumb with horror.
Christianity is aghast, and we've are
listening to the apology of the govern
ment. Some one has blundered,' and
look on with streaming eyes at some
ones blunders being condoned.
"I do not criticise the army itself
Officers and men have behaved and
fought as Americans. Their gallantry
is the one theme We can 60 back to
with pleasure. But do condemn the
commissary departments with all my
strength and power, and hope very
soon to see thorough and proper
investigation OF the horrors that We
may lay the blame where it rightfully
belongs"

Cheaper Coffee.

1t is predicted that when Porto
Rico and Cuba come under American
cultivation, Brazil will repeal the ex-
port duty of IL per cent. which at
present she collects on coffee. Ex-
cellent coffee is grown in Porto Rico,
and very fair quality in Cuba and
the Philippines. Coffee is also pro-
duced in Central America, Mexico and
Hawaii. Still, about two thirds of the
worlds supply comes from Brazil, and
it is assumed that rather than lose any
considerable part of the American
market she will forego the revenue she
has hitherto derived from that product
Brazil has exercised such a control
over the price of coffee that she could
collect the ii per cent. export duty
and thus establish the worlds price
for coffee. Some years ago, Brazil
added the amount of the reduction to
the export tax, and thus maintained
coffee at the old figure. The only
effect of the removal of American
duties was to divert several millions a
year from the American to the
Brazilian treasury. 1t is assumed
that the United States is in a position
to grow her own coffee, Brazil will be
amenable to reason.

PhOnograph Services.

One Of the features in recent elec.
trical exhibition was church lighted
entirely by tubes OF soft white phos-
phorescence in the room. To make
the show even more true to the condi-
tions it simulated, there were pews
with hymnbooks and q real organ,
upon which a prelude and an offer
tory were played at each session.
This being greatly appreciated, it was
suggested that the ecclesiastical idea
would be further carried out by intro
ducing a real service. AS the show
was practically continuous there were
objections to engaging clergymen, but
a phonograph was mounted on a
chair at the altar, with its brass fun
mel stretching over the lectern, and
from this instrument the Lords Prayer,
the Twenty-third Psalm and the beat
itudes were given out with sonorous
effect. 1t is stated that the volume OF
sound by the best cylinders in the
most efficient monographs frequently
reaches 80 per cent. of the sound of
the actual voice, and there are those
who claim that the percentage is even
higher. Be this as it may, the effect
OF the innovation mentioned has sug-
gested new possibilities for poor
churches and outlying parishes, es-
pecially rs many phonograph cylin-
ders now carry hymn words and tunes
and as mechanical organs can obtain
an inexhaustible supply of roll music

A CHECK for $3.50 was sent from Re-

swell the fund which is being raised
under the lady's direction to purchase
for the flagship Olympia a suitable

of the honor of having the flagship
named for the capital of Washington.
This check was made up Of several

A NOVEL EXPEDIENT.
How HObSOn Raised the Spanish
War Vessel Maria Teresa.

The raising of the Maria Teresa, ac-
complished by Lieut.. Hobson, at San
tiago, involved the simple proposition
OF removing the rock that projected
up through the bottom, getting the
vessel back on an even keel, and pull
ling it from the shore.
! The work Of blasting out the rock
~"s begun as soon as the armament
had been removed from the Maria
Teresa. The rock projected through
an ugly hole in the ships bottom
about TVS feet. The rock lay in the
direction of the ships length and
could he seen plainly on the starboard
side.
1t ran up eighteen inches through
the bow and held the vessel as securely
as though it had been ten times that
high. Thirty-five feet of the vessel
lay on the reef; the rest overhung at
dangerous angle.
| In order to remove the rock it was
first necessary to seal up the ragged
opening that surrounded it. This
was done with heavy mating, blank
cts and cement.
The seacocks that the Spaniards had
opened when they saw surrender irevi-
table were closed, and all the OPEN
ings below the water line that had
been made by the American fire were
covered with heavy canvas, SO that the
vessel was practically water tight.
The pumps were put to work and
the fifteen or eighteen feet of water
drawn out. 1t was found necessary to
keep the pumps working continuously,
as the vessel still leaked to some eX-
tent.
With the water out it was next ne
cessary to incase the rock and it's
opening in water tight box, SO that
when the hole was reopened by the
removal of the rock the water could
be held back. Everything was then
ready for the blasting.
In order to get the rock away with
out damage to the vessel only small
blasts could be made. The charges
were never over three-quarters of a
pound.
The rock was blasted from below
outside the vessel, and great care and
expertness were required. The car
tridges were placed by divers in the
natural crevices of the rock and little
drilling was necessary. Bit by bit the
rock was blown away, but while there
was scarcely more than 100 feet to be
removed, it took one week to get it
down so that the vessel rested on an
even keel.
When the vessel lay free it was
pulled off the reef and into deep wa
ter. This was on September 23d, about
two months from the time work was
commenced. The ship was in splen-
did condition and proceeded to Guam
tanamo under its own steam.
The cost of floating the Maria Ter
esa is estimated at 100000. A great
deal of repair is necessary before the
vessel can be sent north. The Navy
Department does not expect it to ar
rive inside of five weeks.

A GOOD "SEND-OFF."
McKlNLEY'S POLITICAL ESTIMATE
OF COL. LEWIS.

1t Is Only the Little Fistcs Which
Bark at His Hcels-At Wash
ington His Commanding Ability
and Stalwart Honesty Are Ac-
kno"icdscd Even by His Polit.
ical Foes.
While every Republican paper in
the State is falsely accusing Congress
man Lewis of attacking President Nc
Kinley-whilc everyone recalls that
Lewis, as Dingley admits, was the aid
of the Administration on war meas
ures-The Washington City Post, the
personal organ of President Mckinley,
editorially gives the country it's esti-
mate of our Congressman as a tribute
to his late denomination:
If the Democrats of the next House
OF Representatives are deprived of the
leadership of the Hon. James Hamil-
ton Lewis the blame for the hardship
cannot be laid at the doors of the
Democrats, POpulists and Free Silver
Republicans of the State OF Washing
ton. The statesman with the etfulgent
pink whiskers has been accorded q
most hearty denomination at the
hands of these three political organiza-
tions, and if the voters of Washington
can be made to realize the duty they
owe the country, Mr.. Lewis will be re-
turned to Congress by an overwhelm-
ing majority. We know not who his
opponent may be, but we do know
that the nation needs the services of
such men as Lewis at this particular
time, and that his defeat would be in
the nature OF a public calamity.
During the exciting times when the
country was preparing to go to war
with Spain the Democratic minority
in the House OF Representatives was
frequently in demoralized condition.
Jealously on the part of the would-be
leaders prevented a unity of action,
and, instead OF closing its ranks and
fighting the enemy, the minority
would divide on personal lines and
furnish exhibitions to the country
which were anything but inspiring.
These occasions were so numerous
that the Democratic press OF the
country found it necessary to repri-
mand the offenders and call for a
leader with the ability to sink person
al likes and dislikes and unite the
party. There were several attempts
in that direction, but the only man
who succeeded in commanding respect
and obedience was the Representative
from the State of Washington, and
frequently were the Republicans made
to feel the effects of his sturdy and
we'll directed blows.
Whenever opportunity occurred the
Hon. James Hamilton Lewis was
equal to it, and his crowning triumph
came when an effort was made to
force the minority into a caucus and
wrest from the members the right OF
individual thought and action
With all the vigor of Sampson and
the grace of Chesterfield the Rep.
resentative from the State of Wash.
ington combated this proposed in
novation and, after hard struggle
came off victorious. The Democratic
Party needs it's James Hamilton
Lewises, and in its present democrat
lied condition it would be cruel in
the Washington voters to deprive the
organization of such services. The
Republicans of Washington could dc
a very magnanimous and graceful
thing by moving to make the election
OF the Hon. James Hamilton Levi.
unanimous.

The Next House.

Mark Hanna has sounded an alarm.
He frankly tells his fellow Republicans
that the next House of Representa-
tives is likely to be Democratic.
This is true, and no wonder. With
the Dingley bill producing less revenue
than enough to pay the ordinary ex.
penses of the government; with the
scandals of the war on the Republican
party's head; with the Presidents
shameful abuse of his appointing
power in filling the vital departments
of the army with imcompetents who
had pull; with the rec ords Of sick
ness and death in all the camps,
attributable solely to incapable ad-
ministration; with Alger still hold
ing Office and controlling the army;
with an eXasperating war-revenue
measure which even with the aid of
the commerce-crippling Dingley bill
produces deficit of nearly $6O,000,-
600 during the first three months OF
the fiscal year-with all these facts in
evidence it will surely be astonishing
if the next Congress is not Democratic.
