WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.


The silver democrats of Massa.
chusetts were so anxious to select
delegates to next years national
convention and thus anticipate all
possibilities of loss of control OF the
machine that they made several
egregious blunders, beside the para
mount error OF holding snap con-
vention and depriving congressional
districts of the right ofrepresentation
in the national council of the party.
Considerable dissatisfaction is said
to exist over the manner in which
the machine disregarded the wishes
OF the masses in making up the state
ticket, which now stands for the vio-
lation Of the principle Of home rule
as well as of primary representation,
and the Williams machine is faced by
the probability of a detection of
generous proportions Burlington

Fat and Lean Men are Joining.

Nearly all the business men of the
city have agreed to take lessons in the
scientific physical instruction to be
given here by Prof. g. Rucker Adams,
of Bloomington, ILL.,, whose methods
are endorsed by hundreds OF prominent
men who have joined his classes.
Richmond has no gymnasium and her
clerks and business men leada monotO-
nous life devoid of the physical train
ing and athletic diversions such as large
cities afford. Consequently we grow
prematurely old and stiff and vitality
is decreased until in cases of epidemics
we would be unable to throw off dis
ease.
Prof. Adams is getting up a large
class to train them in his scientific
method, without apparatus, and he will
sometime this week, perhaps, give the
first of dozen lectures in the Masonic
Temple. Examine his list OF signers
and you will observe almost every pro-
fession and calling represented, by fat
men, by lean men, old, young, and
middle-aged. Ii is a great thing for
health, strength and longevity.

Mr.. Logan had borrowed from one OF

licly dedicated it to DR.. Barbour, much
to the amusement of the audience. Not

dispatched an usher to the platform and
he secured the piece of flaming neck.

TAYLoR.-On Tuesday morning, Nav
30th, 1899, the many friends of Patrick
Taylor were shocked to hear of his sad
death, at his home, near Shearer, XIV.
He had been sick since February. at his
aunt's, Mrs Barton's, and gradual
grew worse, until the end. Heart fail
ure caused; by pleuTisy, was the fatal dis
ease. For the last week there had been
some hope. but on Sunday he began to
sink. and, surrounded by his loved
ones, he passed peacefully away to his
home above. He was a member of the
Ford Presbyterian Church, and was
loved and respected by all. He was
ever ready to help those in distress, and
in his death our county has lost one OF
its brightest young men. Followed by
sOrrowiug friends he was laid to rest in
the Richmond Cemetery, Wednesday
May 3lst. The heartfelt sympathy Of
the community is extended to the be-
reaved family, and more especially to
the young lady who was to have been
his wife this month. God in his wis
dom has taken a dear one from us, and
lonely does it seem without him, but
we can meet him in p better world
where there cometh no sorrow, and
partings are unknown. III.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad
is out in a statement relative TO its
Abandonment of the coal trade in Ken
lucky.
The circular states that, though the
long and shoFt-haul clause of the Inter
state Commerce act was incorporated
verbatim in the kentucky statute, the
Court of Appeals of this State has con-
strued it differently from the cOnstruc-
ton of the Supreme Court and so rs
to prohibit any reduction of rates for
long haul, unless authorized by the
Railroad Commission.
This, it is shown, practically prOhib-
its the shipment of coal from the fields
of Kentucky to Louisville, the COM
petitive market in which the Kentucky
surplus is disposed of, but does not
prohibit shipment of Tennessee and
Virginia coal to Louisville. this being
done on lOng-haul rates. The circular
closes with the statement that, while
the courts decision practically shuts
out Kentucky coal from the competi-
tive market. leaving demand for only
about half the annual production, the
road believes that relief will be found
in the Supreme Court, and that resort
will be made to that tribunal. In the
meantime, it states, the coal trade will
be abandoned.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION As TAUGHT BY
PROF. C. RUcKER ADAMS.
A New System Entirely Without Apparatus
Simple Movements That Secure a
Wonderful Development.

AT CLIMAX reporters request Prof.
Adams, who is organizing class here,
makes this statement:
I'm this briefinterview cannot hope
to set forth all of the advantages that
of any new method of scientific uniform
systematic exercise.
lowing to the extraordinary axpendi-
ture of nervous energy by Americans
there is no race of men in more need
OF physical care The Englifhman rides,
walks, rows, or does some other kind
of physical work, as part of his every
day regime. Exercise is q part of his
religion. He would no more neglect
his daily exercise than he would his
daily breakfast. The American business
man, on the other hand, though he does
more mental work i'll a given time
than any other ten men under the sun
takes practically no exercise at all.
These men are nervous of course, yet
in nine cases out of ten the nervous
Hess comes from indigestion which
eventually leads to dyspepsia, and that
in its turn comes from lack of exercise.
"My system is not intended for the
training of professional gymnasts. Its
object is to create health and strength.
In following it man becomes All
athlete in a way, but this is second
airy consideration. 1t is as "A health

cause in my opinion, the use of dumb
bells and all apparatus is only suited for
those who intend to use their muscles

way. The system | advocate will not
harden the muscles after the fashion
of the heavily muscled athletes. 1t will
not make a man muscle bound, on the
contrary it will induce that condition
of elasticity and endurance, which is
exactly what the average business man
requires. | am 1f the opinion that
abdominal breathing will more effectu-

In my new system there are thirty
movements. There is no particular
one which can be called positive cure
for Indigestion, dyspepsia, etc. The
benefit to the digestion comes from the
system, from the fact that in every one
of these movements there is not a mus
Gle in a mans body which is not en-
tirely called into play. The muscles of
the abdomen are exercised in a way
that no man without knowledge Of the
system would think OF, and it is aston
ishing to see how rapidly the fiabby
abdomen disappears to give place TO the
healthy hard flesh. My system is a
friend to the cOrpulent man as well as
