THR WHEELs or HEALTH.

There Is no better exercise for a young
woman In thoroughly good health than
bicycling. On the contrary, II she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
feminine organs, IL she rides, at all, such
exercise should be very sparingly INDUCED
in. Women are peculiarly constituted and
their general health Is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine
organism.
II Is the health of these delicate and i'm
portant parts that makes the wheels of
general health go round" Their strength
and vigor are as important to a woman as a
handspring to watch, or a sprocket and
chain to q bicycle. DR.. Pierce's Favorite

Looking Backward.

The American Land and Title Regis
ter has tabulated returns from AZ
American cities comparing the build
ing record for the month of June with
the record for June a year ago. OF
these AZ cities 25 show an increase,
ranging from per cent. in Buffalo to
lo6 per cent. in New Orleans, 29S per
cent in Salt Lake City and SCI per
cent. in Duluth. New York's increase
Is so per cent. and BroOklyn's is Si
The average for all the cities reporting
Increases is considerably above 10 per
cent Only j cities report decreases,
the worst being in New Haven, where
building operations fell off 80 per cent
Scranton is not included in the table
Here, on account of the strike, the fall
Ing off has been very marked.
The conclusion to be derived from
lhis table is that, speaking generally,
The present spring and summer season
has been an uncommonly good one in
the building trades; especially good
when we take into account the numer-
Gus recent advances in the prices OF
building materials, some of which have
been arbitrary enough to scare intend
ing builders into postponing their oper-
ations until a morc inviting time. AS
we note this truth We gain new reall-
cation of the extreme unwisdom Of the
local strike which has not only de-
prived Scranton of all participation in
the general prosperity charactcrizing
the building industry throughout the
United States but has also imposed a
grevous burden of loss upon every
branch of local commerce and indus
try, for which there is in view no
cOmpensatinG gain.
1t is rime this burden was lifted, 1t
should be lifted in a spirit of mutual
.onciliation,

,fhe Phillips Case.

The state of mind in which the re-
rent investigation of the management
Of the High school was begun and
conducted, and the conclusion reached,
constitute, in our opinion, an impress
sive illustration Of how the educa-
tional affairs Of u large city ought not
to ne run.
From the evidence, public and pri-
vate, it does not in our Judgment APP
pear that the primary charges against
Dr. Phillips have been sustained; nor
do we find in the transcript OF testi-
mony suffcient warrant for the cen
sure put upon this efficient and con-
scientious instructor in the report of
the High and Training committee
which recommended u cut in DR.. Phil
lips salary and which the Board OF
Control on Friday night approved.
This. however, is our opinion only and
opinions are liable TO differ
There can, though, he no difference
OF opinion among fair-minded men
upon the point that in turning an
episode of this kind into factional
political game and exhibiting in its
treatment the passion and the wire
pulling of an old-fashioned ward eau
Gus an abominable example is set be-
fore the eyes of the young men and
women in our High school. We hope
that when they come into mems and
women's estate they will order school
government better.

mitted 70 the second court-martial and
Il is also 10 he noted that, by the rea-
sons rccltcd in the preamble to the
Judgment, the Rennes tribunal is In
structcd as 10 the weight TO be at-
tached to certain evidence brought
forward asainst~Dreyfus at the first
court-martial, as well as to certain
other evidence which has been subse-
auentiy nddgccd.
II will be remembered that the first
court martial convicted Dreyfus OF
having communicated certain docu-
ments relating TO the army 10 tho agent
of n foreign power on the express
ground that these documents were emu
meratod IN a list, on bordereau, which
Il adjudScd 20 be IN Dreyfus's hand
writing. The evidence submitted to
the court of cnssation showed. in the
first place, a great preponderance of ex-
pert testimony tc tho fact that tho bor-
dereau was written by the same hand
as two letters known TO have been
penned by Esterhazy in 1892 and 1894.
It was also proved that these three
letters were written upon transparent,
squore-ruled paper and that the most
careful search had failed to demon
strate that Dreyfus ever owned or used
a specimen of this paper. On these
grounds, NJ J3allot-Beaupre, the official
reporter Of the court Of cessation, de-
clared that he had come to the convic-
tlon that the bordereau was written,
not by Dreyfus, but by Esterhazy. The
court, practically, adopted this conclu-
sion, for. in its judgment, it says that
the facts relating TO the transparent,
square-ruled paper, unknown TO the
court-martial which passed sentence,
tend to show that the bordereau could
not have been written by Dreyfus, and,
in consequence, are Of kind to estab-
lish the innocence Of the condemned" ;"
From a reading of the text Of the de-
cision, il appears that nothing is lef.
to the Rennas court martial except to
make n formal acknowledgement that
Dreyfus was not the author of the bor-
dereau, and, therefore, not the betray-
er of the documents mentioned therein.

A Reviving Industry.

That the American shipbuilding in
dustry is entering upon a new era Of
activity ana development seems assured
in spite Of the tardness of congress in
passing legislation for its encourage
ment.
A new S3,000000 shipbuilding plant is,
we are told, soon to be constructed on
the banks of the Delaware river. The
Philadelphia Record, a journal opposed
to ocean subsidies, has traced this
rumor down and asserts that il is well
founded. The president of the new con-
Germ it describes as a thoroughly
practical and experienced bridge builder
and iron master who is accustomed to
manage large establishments" Ac-
cording to the Marine Review over $70,-
100000 worth of new ships are now
building in the United States-s40, 900. 900

chant ships. 1t is stated that the ship

From the New York Sun.
The voyage OF the oregon from New
York to Manila is employed by Rear Ad-
miral Higginson in the Independent TO
Illustrate the saving IN time and money
which navigation may expect from the
Nicaragua canal. The distance she sailed
by log was 2O,3O6 nautical miles, and the
time was % steaming days, making an
average speed of 2206 knots per day.
Her coal consumption for steaming pur-
poses only was 5,4l7 tons, at cost of Vs.
953.93. But had she gone through Mica
ragua she would at the same speed have
reached her destination in 5l.4 steaming
days, on coal consumption of 3,02 tons,
and at an approximate cost of only S6,69a.
That means a saving in time of 4O.6 days;
IN distance Of 9,9S3 nautical miles; In coal
of 1886 tons; In money of l7,25i.93. An
allowance can be made for moderated
speed through the canal and for the cost
of tolls and still the balance would be
enormous in the canals favor.
Admiral Hgginson's is purely the naval
view taking up the relation of the canal
to our sea power; and having that III
mind he considers the most valuable OF
the savings to be that in time, since 1T
