up to date IN every respect.
lance Farmer, Homer.
Paved Streets for small Towns
and Good Roads for Everybody.
In one of our valued exchanges,
the Tribune of OpelouSas, We notice
a paper by Prof. Meigs, before the
Good Roads convention of Ohio,
urging the value Of oil as an agent
for perfect road building. 1t was
discovered where a leak in an oil
pipe had saturated the surface Of
a public road at one of the worst
points, and in a few weeks it be-
came one Of the best portions.
When this was made known, the
Oil Go. gave q tank Of $50 barrels
to the authorities for experiment
ing, and every application has pro-
ven decided success.
The oil being light and thick
does no! sink deep into the ground
but remains on and near the sur
furce, forming hard crust, which
is imperyious to tho rain from
above or the moisture from below.
The oil and water will not mix, and
the rains must run of the surface.
This prevents both mud in wet
weather and dust in dry weather,
Every one knows that oil is heat
ing and under the action of the
sunshine would rapidly dry out a
wet road, then we have all noticed
the hard compact substance form
cd on the ends of wagon and bug
gy axles where the oil and dust
meet.
If Prof. Meigs' theory is true,
and numerous experiments already
made have amply sustained it, the
question of street paving in the
smaller towns and road building
in the country is forever settled.
We can have the very best of tray
ell at minimum cost, and at the
same time build up an unlimited
demand for the South's great prod
ucts-cotton seed oil.
We would suggest to the Givan-
ovich Oil Co. that they pick q very
bad portion of LIST or End street,
two squares, to spend a few bar
rels of oil in making the expert
rent, and if it should make good,
firm street without dnst or mud,
the prosperity of the mill and the
comfort, progress and prosperity
of our citizens viii be permanent
ly assured.
The Application Of oil should be
made when the ground is compare
lively dry, and then allowed to
soak awhile before tired ve-
hicles is allowed to pass over tor
perhaps little packing could be
done inexpensiveIy.
My, what g millennium it would
bring to our people to be freed
from this obnoxious, Clisagreeable,
temper-destroying, vehicle break
ing, business-annihilating mud
And then next Summer, if we
could annihilate the dust the I'M
speakable dust ! the dust that 81
lently creeps into our business
houses and damages our goods /;
that ruins our freshly painted
walls; that goes into our private
residences and ruins the furniture,
the carpets, the wallpaper, the
tapestry and curtains that soils
our clothes, doubles our. laundry
bills, gets into our food, into our
water, down our backs, in our eyes,
nose, ears, down our throats, in
creases the heat, and otherwise
makes life miserable
And we can do it. Oil is the pa
nacea for troubled waters, and we
trust it is the panacea for all these

THE LENTS' SECOND CONCERT,-The
next concert to be given by Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Lent will take place January IS at
UniversaliSt Church, when these popular
Washington artists will be assisted by Miss
Amy Fay, pianist of some note, being
especially celebrated for the entertaining
nature of her concerts. Miss Fay's per-
formances are known as piano converse
lions, and are said to be most delightful
and interesting affairs. She illustrates by
some descriptive remarks the character and
meaning of each number on the program,
enabling the audience to appreciate more
fully the succeeding selections. After the
concert, from 10 to II o'clock, a reception
will be rendered Miss Fay at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lent. Miss Fay is the
author of Music Study in Germany Some
years ago her sister was married to Theo-
dore Thomas. Commenting upon Miss
Fay's performance, the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser says: The compositions presented
by Miss Fay Were played without the use
OF notes, and the courage to undertake ana
the ability to repeat from memory such a
program is of itself a proof of Miss Fay's
exceptional capacity. The entire perform
ance, inGeed, showed large grasp in the
artists mind. and power to appreciate
and understand the best productions of the
best authors Fields Nocturne was
sweetly and smoothly rendered, and the
DreyShOck romance was as brilliant as
possible. There Is something in the fieri-
ness of LISTS most CHARACTERISTIC pieces
which seems to suit Miss Fay's artistic
faculty, and In the Interpretation OF MS
compositions she is heard at her best.

FOREVER DEVILS AUCTION'-It
has always been customary to introduce
throughout the performance of Chas. H.
Yale's Forever Devils Auction" a num-
Der of special vaudeville features, wh"-N
speciality, although not strictly identih
with the plot of this popular spectacle, is
by clever stage management and costuTn-
ing made n most interesting part of same.
Miss Phyllis Alien, whose phenomenal voice
has placed her at the topmost round of
singers, either operate or otherwise will
undoubtedly prove a revelat ton to those
who have not before had the pleasure of
hearing her sing. And in Little Miss Co
lumbia' Mr.. Yale has secured an absolute
novelty, which can also be truthfully said
about Alexander Decca, the comedy trick
cyclist. Another unusual feature is that
Of the Phantos Brothers. the aerial gro
tesques. Ben. F. Grinneil, a comedian of
very clever methods also appears in orig
inal speciaties, while Miss Wayne Mayo,
a singing and dancing soubrette, has cap
tured all Corners with her versatility and
chic" She IS also a clever banjo player.

Washington is to be favored this winter
by many well-kn,w n musicians, but none
will attract more attention than the date
for Neidlingers talk on the elocutionary
side of vocal music This justly renowned
artist comes to us from Paris, and will be
assisted by Miss Blanche Sprigg and The
Musical Morning Class in a program of
rare merit, this to include Grieg's Il Love
Thee. "Liszt's Thou Art Like Unto
Tender Flower" Jensens modern lyric,
Marie" Chaminade's Rosemonde'' and a
number of his own, among them his Life
in Death song as yet unsung, for the
reason that it has not yet been printed and
in fact, has been heard by only the favored
few who enjoy Mr.. Neidlngers intimate
acquaintance This talk, while very much
in the form of u lecture. is really song
recital, and it is only the artists modesty
that compels him not to stick entirely to his
own compositions, from a list of which
could be culled program that would not
fail to interest the most critical.

"TRILBY.'-Cooper's pretty painting,
Trilby." will remain on exhibition in this
city but short time longer and the OPP
portunity to view Du Mauriers heroine
posing for the life class Is consequently
limited. '"Trilby' has been exhibited for
the past three years throughout the coun-
try and it is impossible to estimate the
number Of persons who have visited her re-
ceptions. Many directors of art institutes
and eminent critics declare the work a
remarkable creation. The modelling, the life
like flesh color and the wonderful relief, to-
gether with the harmonious color scheme
and blending, make the painting one to be
remembered by all who see it. The ex-
hibtion parlor at 1909 Pennsylvania avenue
is open day and evening.

BOGUS CIGAR STAMPS.
Collector WinsIow Issues Circular Of
Warning to Tobacco Dealers.

The following circular which has been
issued by Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Wilson to the collectors will
prove of interest to local dealers Who
have awakened to the realization that
the bogus stamps have found their way
as far east as Worcester.
Deputy Collector Oscar j. Winslow
had nothing new to offer in connection
with the Worcester seizures. yesterday
but says he will continue his investi,sa-
ton throughout the district. The cir
cular issued to collectors follows;
Referring to seizures Of cigars from
Jacobs & Co., factory No. 37i1 and
Kendigs factory, Mo- 45s. ninth district
of Pennsylvania, you are Informed that
as fifties are the only denominations
known to have been counterfeited, you
may release the cigars covered by
stamps of other denominations. which
are regular, and in the hands OF inno-
cent holders. The cigars can be left IN
the custody of the parties from whom
seized, If they are RESPONSIBLE, perdlng
further action. Seizures should b.. re-
ported on form III.
innocent holders who have purchased
cigars and paid for same will be treat
ed fairly and reasonable offers IN ccm-
promise accepted. Such offer should in
clude payment of costs. the tax on the
cigars and a nominal sum as a spe-
cific penalty-to be made through lou
to this office.
when stamps are undoubtedly gem
nine the cigars may be released with
ont DELAY. The distinction between gen
nine and counterfeit stamps is this:
The paper in the counterfeit IS much
lighter than that in The genuine and
the face of Clay in the counterfeit is
very much drawn; the lock of hair on
the right side of his head is very dark
in the counterfeit; in the genuine, much
lighter. Among the most prominent lis
tinctions are the diamond and stars in
the word cigars In the genuine they
are very distinct, while in the counter
felt they are greatly blurred, ari in
some letters the diamonds do not APP
near at ALL The shading al the left of
the stamps is much heavier in the coun-
terfeit than in the genuine STAMP. due
probably to the lighter color Of the
paper.
IN case of doubt. hold the cigars I'M
til they can be examined by an expert.
You can compare the stamps with any
genuine fifties on boxes of cigars.
Parties owing Jacobs & Co. and w.
L. Kendig for cigars purchased should
be advised not to pay such bills or ac-
counts. and you will take prompt steps
to attach and hold moneys thus due on
account of Indebtedness To the govern
ment for taxes evaded. Consult the dis
trict attorney. Hold the fraudulent CT
gars in such cases until the matter is

A GRAND EXAMPLE.
Rev. lnman L. Wilcox
Talks on Practical
Christianity.

Practical Christianity" was the cub
ject chosen by Rev. Imam l.. Wilcox
for his morning sermon yesterday. Mr..
Wilcox illustrated the meaning of the
word practical by showing what is
practical in every day life.
One man is practical. another theo-
retical. The one who attains the great
est degree of success is the theorist who
is able to make his theories practical
BILE.
Christ was a great theorist and many
may say that it is impossible to put
his theories into operation. He was a
theorist but there was no greater in
working out theories in practical life.
Mr.. Wilcox gave as practical illus
tration of the working out of Christ
ideal in business life. brief outline OF
the manner in which employees of the
National Cash Register Company Of
Dayton, O., are treated.
1t is the aim of the company to make
the factory and its surroundings as
beautiful as possible. The grounds are
laid out by an expert landscape garden
er, and the interior Of the buildings
laid out with special regard to cenfol
of the employees.
Lunch is served to all women en-
ployes at the noon hour. free Of cost.
The female operatives are also drilled
for a half hour each day by a teacher
of gymnastics. Saturday afternoon is a
holiday for all employees, and each may
have one day off additional each month
if they desire.
Boxes are placed about the factory
at certain intervals, where any work
man may place suggestions for i'm
provement in the factory and state an:'
grievance that may occur. The proprie-
tors, officers and superintendent to-
gether with 100 of the operatives, meet
once a week to discuss plans. Prizes are
offered the workmen submitting the
best suggestions or inventions. On Sun
day there are special religious services
for all classes of employees.
In closing, Mr.. WILCOX asked why
there are not others who will make
this attempt to prove Christ's idea' is
not impracticable? If all factories were
conducted in this way there would be
no strikes. What is needed is not bet
ter preaching, but better living. Men
believe in us as we live out the teach
ings of Christ. 1t is possible for all 20
preach the best sermon by living the
best life.

No man should be old before his time
because of a weak stomach sluggish

There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's

things. 1t brings back youth to the
