Edward Atkinson,s sedition.

Those who are criticising the official
action at Washington prohibiting three
pamphlets prepared by Edward Atkin-
son from the malls Tor the Philippines,
seem TO construe that 1t interferes with
Mr.. Atkinson's rights as citizen. and
is an arbitrary act of censorship. Their
defense OF Mr.. Atkinson. like his own
defense. is based on the fact that the
pamphlets he has been mailing to the
Philippines, to be read by our troops
and the Filipinos. are compilations of
speeches delivered In Congress-" This
is n wrong statement of the case In
some particulars.
The government does not deny the
right OF any one to circulate speeches
delivered in Congress. or articles con-
tained in newspapers. 1t was the man
ner In which these speeches were COM
piled. the comments upon them in the
pamphlet. and the headlines couched In
sedItious language, that caused the nc
ton to be taken. These were the fea-
lures that caused the authorities to pro-
hibit their circulation in the Philip
pines. and not the fact that the pamph-
let contained speeches OF public men de-
lvcred In Congress and on the rostrum.
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith makes this point so plain that 1t
Is wonder that the matter Is being so
misrepresented.
The pamphlets prepared to be read by
our troops In the Philippines are re-
gardcd as seditous, and calculated to
incite mutiny. because OF their titles
and the accompanying comments. The
titles are suggestive enough. "Crlmi-
nal Aggression b. Whom" Is one. This
Compilation Of speeches" Is nccompan-
led by comments designed to make our
brave soldiers believe they are COM

among the troops literature designed to

not the circulation of these pamphlets

denouncing the government OF the
United States, likely to inclte the troops
to embarrass and resist the government

pamphlets what are they being sent to
the Philippines for? What Is the pur-
pose Of Mr.. Atkinson and his officers Of

ety." II 1t Is not to sow dIssensions in

Yesterday the Intelllgencer contained
an editorial concerning n Parkersburg
dispatch in the Register about an al

leaders in this city to arrange 4 slate
for next years campaign. The Intelli-

a. B. White was alleged to be one of
the alleged conferees here, as the rep
resentative of Mr.. Elkins." The story
was Of whole cloth. The following par
agraph from the Parkersburg State
journal. Mr.. Whites paper. gives the
source OF the story and confirms the
Intelligencer's estimate of 1t:
Tho Sentinel has q cock-and-bulI story

So far as Mr.. A. 3. White Is concerned he
authorizes us to say that there Is not n

Of the writer for purposes purely of mis-

Woods, contrary to the statements OF
those who are fond of charging the Gu
bans with being lazy and unwilling to
work. are not only willing but anxious
to work"
This confirms reports from other I'M

tated by long years Of rebellion. and
now that peace has come. and freedom
assured the dire effects are to be over

eY sEE:Es2RJEoN:

There was no doubling the truth Of the
mans words, and walked slowly back
In the direction of our cottage of shells
with sort Of dumb despair settling
upon me. Midway I met my mother,
who had toiled after me through the
heavy snow. She was painting for
breath, and looked inexpressibly sad
and woe-begone, but I had no pity for
her-indeed, no feeling whatever with
respect to her. I was absorbed in my
own grief and amazement at this un-
expected SCATTERING Of my cherished
hopes. took her arm, and led her back
to her home. No word passed between
us on the way. She glanced UP at me
many times timidly, pityingly, implor-
ingly; but If her features had been
carved in stone, her entreating looks
could not have made less impression
upon me. How bleak and drear the
night had grown! The wind chilled me
to the marrow, and I trod the white
snow with sullen steps. 1t suited my
mood to tear and deface it as walked.
What beauty for me was there now in

dragged my feet through it vindictive-
ly, as though it were my enemy, and
could feel the wounds l was infiicting
upon It. In this way, and in perfect ST.
lence, we reached the cottage of shells.
"Sit there" l said, sternly, to my
mother, pointing to chair.
She sat down obediently.
"Now," said I, in a hard tone, "tell
me everything plainly, and let no ten
derness for me induce you to put false
color upon what you have to say, and
must hear Speak the truth without
reservation. as You would on your death
bed. If you value my love, do exact

thus while she told her story, keeping a

myself, as it might be, and speaking

Fireproofing Wood.


Among the many valuable lessons
taught by the recent war between
Spain and the United States is the i'm
portant one that ship of war should
have as little wood in its construction
as possible, and that what there is
should be fireproof. DR.. Hexamer re-
Gently read before the Franklin Insti-
tute paper dealing with this subject.
and showing how, by comparatively
cheap and easy process, woodwork may
be rendered absolutely incombustible.
It may be noted that the inventor Of
the system does not seek to make
money out of it. but gives 1t to the
American nation with a view to do his
country service. Before commencing
his experiment, DR.. Hexamer laid down
certain conditions, which he considered
imperative. the chief of which was that
to prove effective against fire the wood
must be treated, not on the surface on
ly, but through its entire mass. After
trying various substances with which
to impregnate the wood, he finally
chose water glass, treating 1t at a later
stage with ammonium chloride, in or
der to render it insoluble. The wood
work is first Of all heated in an iron
container to expel all moisture, after
which the water glass is admitted un-
der pressure, and is forced into the
inner recesses of the wood. .Ammon-
ium chloride is then admitted to the
container, under the same conditions.
and the wood is finally washed in rum
ming water. and slowly dried. i

Dietetic Virtues of Olive OIL.

Olive oil is now being used in many
ways at one time never thought OF.
Besides being largely used meuicinally,
observes the Sanitary Record, 1t enters
into various processes of cooking much
more extensively than it did. In mas
sage, bathing, and for numerous other
purposes, the use of this most valua-
BILE natural food is greatly extending.
Eminent authorities have found 1t
potent agent for many defects Of the
excretory ducts, especially the skin.
Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon
the discontinuance of starch food anu
the substitution of a diet of fresh and
dried fruits, milk. eggs and olive oil.
Taken in conjunction with fruit diet
its beneficial effects have frequently
been marked upon the hair, nails and
scalp, supplying as it does to the Sc
baceous glands the only substance
which they secrete when In healthy
condition, and the absence of which
is the cause of debility of the hail, fire.
quently ending in badness. 1t has
long been observed that those who live
upon olive oil as common article OF
food are generally healthier than those
who do not. Its therapeutic and
prophylactic qualities are now well
known to medical men. Oil is destruc-
tive to certain forms of micro-organic
life, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they can best be eradicated from
the system by Its internal use. The
use of oil not only does this, but 1t re-
stores to the worn out or disease It's
sues just those elements of repair that
its reconstruction demands.

An American, Two Japanese and Dish
of Potatoes.
Even those who desire to be strictly
accurate sometimes erect their story
from single instance, as geologist
conceives the framework of long
extinct animal from one bone, says the
American Kitchen Magazine. The fall
lacy of SO doing is we'll illustrated by
the following story told to the writer
by one of the participants: A few years
ago two Japanese gentlemen of high
standing were travelling in the United
States, and, among other places, visited
a large and widely known mandatory.
They were afterwards invited by the
senior member of the firm to lunch
with him. Col. M. was also of the
party. 1t happened that the first food
placed on the table was dish of fried
potatoes, and as the manufacturer en-
Enthusiastically explained his business
to his guests he unthinkingly took
piece of potato from the dish with his
fingers, and ate it. A second and third
piece followed. The japanese listened
politely, but Col. NJ. observed that they
were closely watching their hosts
method Of eating. The colonel had a
keen sense of humor and he at once
decided that he would follow his
friends example and see what the 9TH
ers would do. He did 80 and instantly
both japanese made q dive Tor the
dish. and they thus sat eating pota-
toes with their fingers, presenting, it
is to be feared, the appearance Of four
men who had had nothing to eat for
long while and expected never to get
anything again. Will 1t be surprising
If in future Japanese book on Ameri-
ca this breach Of good manners shall
find place as an American custom?
