SOME of the good ladies of our city,
with Yankee instinct for neatness,
are making the initial moves looking
to the establishment of a village i'm
provement society to operate upon the
plan of many societies which have a
successful existence in the East.
Women are as usual thing better
housekeepers than the men; and it will
be the expectation of the proposed So
ciety to look after the city's cleanli-
ness, and to promote so far as possible
its beauty. Sanitation, too, will form
one of the principle subjects of the
society's concern and missionary work
along the line of cultivating public
cleanliness will be pursued.
The society, when it gets to going,
should receive the hearty cooperation
of every loyal Mariettian.

NO COAL, NO FIGHT,

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs-STAR.
While all the war-like preparations
for fortifying the Atlantic's coast are
being burriedly made, there is no fear
of any attack on the sea coast enter
tanned in army or navy circles. There
is but one country or nation that is
hostile or belligerent to the Usited
States and that is Spain. Against that
prospective enemy the question of coal
in this case constitutes an almost i'm
pregnable sea coast defense. The Viz
caya steamed leisurely across the At
lantic. Upon arrival at New York her
supply of coal was almost exhausted,
and the Spanish terror of the sea was
unable to proceed much farther with
out taking on coal. Had the Vizcaya
made full speed on her transatlantic
trip. she would have been entirely out
of coal. There is no place that Spain
can obtain coal except at Havana, for
the hour that war is declared coal be-
comes coutraband. This explains the
concentration Of the Atlantic squadron

A pretty story is told of a young
clerk in dry goods store who has re-
Gently come into possession of large
fortune through the favor of an old
gentleman distantly related to him,
says the Youths Companion.
The young fellow listened with
amazement to the news impaired to
him by his employer and the old gen

Il suppose l must not expect your
services rs clerk any longer" said the
dry goods merchant, with n smile. II

"Oh, | shall stay my month out, of
course, sir" said the boy promptly. ~
shouldn't want to break my word Just
because I've had some money left me-"
The two older men exchanged
glarccs. Tsc money referred to was
nearly 100000.
WELL" said the lawyer, stroking his
mouth to conceal his expression, ~

tween ten and four tomorrow, my
young friend, as it will be necessary for
you to read and sign some papers,"
"ies, sir" said the clerk. II always

I'll take that hour for you instead to-
morrow. If i eat a good breakfast, i
can get along all right till six o'clock !"
The two men again exchanged
plances but neither said n word To
spoil the boys unconsciousness that he
was taking his good fortune in an un-
usual way.
WELL" said the lawyer, when the
door had closed on the modest heir to
thousands, "all ] can say is, If that boy
ever uses his money to anybody's disad-
vantage, j miss my guess!" And the
year that has elapsed since then has
gone to prove the truth OF his words.

CORRUPTION AT COLUMBUS.

A committee has been appointed by
the Ohio House of Representatives to
investigate the charges of bribery that
haye been made in connection with
pending legislation, and an inquiry as
TO the truth Of those charges will be
instituted. +-"s~
Surely there is cause for an investi-
cation if the language of the preamble
of the resolutions providing for the
appointment of a committee can be
taken as an Indication. One section
of the preaub ble reads as follows:
Whereas, on various occasions when
important legislations was pending the
hoor of the House has been thronged
with the hired agents and attorneys Of
corporations and others seeking to in
fuence and control legislation.
This assertion having been indorsed
by the House in the adoption of the
resolution, it follows that every mem
Der of that branch Of the General AS
sembly ought to be anxious to have the
charges of corruption probed to the
bottom to the end that every innocent
man may be freed from suspicion and
every guilty man punished as he de-
serves.
Yet the committee does not promise
much in the way of thoroughness. One
of its members is the chairman of a
committee which has been under suspi-
cion because of charges of corruption,
and while he may seek to get at the
facts and expose attempts at bribery, il
looks like an inpropriety for him to
accept a. place on the committee and
acts as one of the Investigators. The
committee may surprise the people, but
there is good reason to suspect that it
was appointed for the purpose of bring
ing in whitewashing report, and If it
does that nobody will be astonisheti.-

near Havana. Immediately upon the
declaration of war, the squadron would
proceed from Key West to Havana and
by blockade of the port or a capture
of the city by bombardment, Spain's
source of coal supply would be shut off
and she would be powerless to attack
the United States. There would remain
possibility of naval engagement,
but it would necessarily be one that
the Spanish fleet could not prolong.
Some sea fighting might occur along
the route of the Windward islands, If
Spain should start feet across the
water, and it might also be necessary
for the United States forces to occupy
Porto Rico, which would be the expul-
sion of Spanish authority from the
Western Hemisphere. The coal defense
of the United States is applicable to
every European country, except Eng
land, which alone has coaling stations
on this side of the Atlantic and from
England, under present conditions, no
trouble can emanate No other nation
has the facilities to equip with fuel a
navy to conduct operations of war
against the United States.
In planning an invasion of Cuba, one
of the first acts would be to cut off the
food supplies from this country. Under
the regime of Weyler, the crops were
burned and destroyed. The gaunt
spectre of fannie has stalked abroad
over the island, and it became neces-
sary to import nearly all food. Much,
in fact nearly all, of this importation
is from the United States The parts
of Cuba that were not laid waste by
Weyler are in the hands of the Cuban
insurrectionists, who would readily
become allies of the United States in
case of war with Spain. They would
prevent any food supplies from reach
ing the sections occupied by the Span
ish. With the supply of food by water
cut off by the United States and from
land by the Cubans, Havana would
capitulate without gun being fred.

REPRESENTATIVE DALZELL's arraign-
ment of yellow journal seusationalism,
which was SO thoroughly deserved, has
been highly commended. After briefly
referring to the Cuban situation as it
was up to the blowing up of the Maine,
Mr.. Dalzell said: "In all of this great
excitement there are two things that
have impressed me with their conspic-
iousness. One is matter of pride;
the other the sensational and infamous S
columns of much of the press of this
country. We pay great price indeed
for the liberty of the press. 1t is not
liberty we pay for, it is license. Some
of the journals we pick up today may
be said to contain nothing but what is
prima facie false. They do not know
the truth, or, if they do it never finds
place in their columns. They have
no relations to the public morals, ex-
cept to degrade and debase them. The
pratings of this class of the anarchistic
press are not intended to serve public
interest, but to excite the baser feel
ings of human nature" The thing
which Mr.. Dalzell referred to as
matter of pride is the self-repression
and calm dignity of the American peo-
pie as whole since the Maine catas-
trophe, and their absolute confidence
that President Mckinley will do the
right thing at the right time.

The young ladies of the normal
school in Winona were lately thrown
into furry of excitement, says the St.
Paul (NIinn.) Dispatch. They were
called into one OF the recitation-roonls
and put through rigid examination
about the number of callers each had
and description of each caller. They
were told that it was highly improper
to receive caller from out of the city,
and that many of the young men of the
city were not proper persons with
whom to associate.
1t was also considered highly i'm
proper to receive call which was of
more than 20 minutes duration. In all
over q dozen questions were required to
be answered, all of which were in regard
to the subject of gentlemen callers.
A number of rules were given to the
young ladies, which they were told they
must obey. Among them was one for
bidding the same young men to call
upon them more than three times
year, and then the call must be purely
formal and not exceed Is or 90 minutes
The young ladies were also requested
to furnish n list of their callers and
their characters, and as to the general
subjects of conversation when calling
or riding. and if the landlady where
they boarded approved of the young
men.
Some of the young ladies are indig-
nant, and say they will not submit to
such rules, while others believe they are

Washington, March l2.-The war de-

creating the departments of the gulf

states on the Atlantic coast including
North Carolina.
The department of the lakes will in
clude Wisconsin,, Michigan, Illinois, In

with headquarters at Chicago. The de-

Mississippi Louisiana and Texas, with
headquarters at Atlanta.
General Brooke will be in command
of the department OF the lakes, and
Brigadier General Graham of the de-
