|ICH|NtSS Of THE SKIN.

Everybody has their hour of trou-
BILE.
But people having any irritation OF
the skin.
Have many hours of trouble.
Nothing 50 annoying, nothing so
irritating.
1t is a hard and trying position.
Leave il alone and you can hardly
bear the misery.
Relief and cure have come at last.
Melbourne has put it 70 the test.
Deans Ointment cures every form
OF skin irritation.
People at home are learning that this
is so.
Here is proof in a statement:
Mr. William Preston has been resi-
dent of Victoria for over half a cen
fury and therefore will be known TO
many of our readers. Mr.. Preston is
at present residing at No. 6S Argyle
St, St. Kilda. He says: For some
considerable time l have been trou-
bled with Eczema on my legs. The
irritation at times was very great es-
pecially at night, and it caused me
considerable annoyance. | obtained a
pot of Doan's Ointment and | must
say that it allayed the irritation almost
Immediately Doan'S Ointment is
a good remedy and l can highly rec
ommend it for Eczema
Doan's Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin, eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, chilblains,
etc. 1t is perfectly safe and very eff
fective.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that have not yielded to other
remedies for years.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all
chemists and storekeepers at so cents
per box (siX boxes $3.50 or will be

DYNAMITE SHELL.
How a Big One Was Tested at Sandy
Hook.

How a Big One Was Tested at Sandy
Hook
NEW YORK, August 24.-At the
Sandy Hook proving grounds yesterday
an experiment was made with dyna-
mite she'll which tended to prove that
IL it had struck a battleship the latter
would have been sunk. The expert
ment was one of those ordered by the
Board of Ordnance and FOrtifications
and took place in the presence of the
members of the board Major Heath,
who is in charge of the defenses at
Sandy Hook, and Willard d. Isham, the
inventor of the projectile. The shell,
made from about 900 pounds of cast
steel and carrying a bursting charge
of 1872 pounds of explosive gelatine.
was fired from an ordinary 12-inch
rifle, mounted on an improvised car
riage behind shield. The charge
used for firing it was composed of
common brown prismatic powder.
About 200 feet in front of the gun a
piece of Harveyized steel, twelve
inches thick and specially treated was
placed at an angle of forty-five degrees
to the lire of fire. Behind it was a
tnlck packing or oak and behind the
oak was small mountain of sand, the
whole calculated to be stronger than a
battleship's side. The shell struck and
exploded with a terrific report. The
steel target was blown clear up the
oak backing and lay seventeen feet to
one side and at right angles to the line
the shot had followed Part of the
oak backing and the sand behind it
were blown away. Only about four
pounds of steel fragments of the shell
were found.
Members of the board expressed sat-
isfactiOn with the experiment. The
most destructive explosive known was
used in the shell. 1t was composed of
so per cent of nitro-glycerine, 8 per
cent of guncottOn as an absorbent and
4 per cent of camphor. 1t is estimated
to be % per cent more powerful than
No. l dynamite.

pauv. should consider the other side Of
the question. Suppose the officers Of the
company had said to the union miners
that they must dissolve their union and
do away with their organization, there
would naturally have been an indignant
and a righteous protest The miners
would have said that that was matter
which concerned themselves alone. and
that so long as they did their work TO
the satisfaction ~ tho company it was
none of the company's business whether
they had an organization or not The
officers Of the company might then have
issued an order that every miner belong
ing to the union Doe discharged. and thus
have forced ont Of tho employment OF
the company tho entire organization. The
company would have had n right to 20 that
far however harsh such a measure may
have been FOR every man has right
TO conduct his business i'm his own way
and To discharge whom he will from his
employment. But suppose the company
had gone a step farther and after the
miners have peacefully retired. have en-
ployed a number Of soldiers. and, arming
them with guns and gunpowder have
sent them against the miners village TO
shoot them down and TO destroy their
houses unless they should consent 10 dis

out and these hlrelngs Of the company
had fired upon them and blown their
houses up with gunpowder. There would
have been such indignation throughout
the length and breath OF this free coun-
try as that thousands OF men would have
been ready to shoulder arms and march
against the lawless company. TO punish its
officers and its hirelings FOR the great out
rage that they had committed.
Reversing conditions. the Idaho strikers
did a thing that was quite as harsh and
lawless According to newspaper reports,
the company by which they were EN-
ployed agreed 20 the scale Of wages which
tho union miners demanded but the
union men went a step farther and de-
clared that the company should employ
union men only and discharge all miners
who did not belong to the union The
company stood on it's rights and said
that was IT'S own business as to whom II
should employ. and that II would not dis
charge faithful and satisfactory men
simply because the did not belong TO the
miners union. But the strikers said
that the company should obey tho COM
mands OF the union or suffer for It, The

tho strikers armed themselves and

PARTY LEADERS, VIEWS.

The views OF party leaders in Virginia
concerning the forthcoming May confer
| ence as printed in Sundays Times makes
/ It very plain, it seems 10 US. that the
| purpose OF those who favor this meeting
and who will take part in It IS TO pro-
mote cause which Is very dear TO the
heart of the people rather. than to pro-
mote the candidacy Of any man for the
Senate.
Hon. John Goode says that tho move
ment has been inaugurated not with re-
ference to men but for the purpose Of
asserting a great principle of free gov
eminent.
Dr. James +. Bryant says that the idea
Of nominating candidate, or even of
fostering or opposing the claims Of any
aspirant would be utterly repugnsnt to
his ideas Of the purpose OF the confer
once.
Senator LeCato understands the call
for the May conference as ian effort 10
bring the selection Of United states sena-
tors in closer touch with the people"
Hon. George -. Wise says emphatically
that in signing the call for the conference
he was not actuated by a desire TO pro-
mote the interest of any candidate Or
moved by Hostility to any.
Hon. William +. Reddy says that he
feels now as the proposors Of the Roam
oke resolution did. and as he felt in the
last Legislature, that the principle IS
more important than the details.
And so on. II any who arc moving IN
this matter are actuated solely by the
desire TO defeat Senator Martin. or 10
push forward ono other candidate, we
think that they will find themselves I'm
hopeless minority when the conference
meets We have said from tho first. as
we say now, that an excellent opportu-
nifty is here afforded 70 inaugurate some
plan by which the Democratic voters OF
Virginia may express az the polls their
choice Of candidates for senator, and we
can see no sufficient reason why any man
who has that end in view should absent
himself from the conference. No dee
gate TO that conference will be questioned
as to his choice Of candidates before be-
ing admitted. II will not be necessary
for him TO say that he IS a friend Of any
special candidate, or that he is opposed
TO any special candidate, I'm order 20 re-
ceive his card Of admission. II he has
been sent here by his people to represent
them in that conference. he will be adj
mitted and there will be 30 gag rule.
We DO not presume 10 speak for those
who are responsible for the conference,
but such is our understanding OF the case,
and we feel sure that every Democrat
who is in favor Of electng senators by
popular vote. or Of choosing the Demo
cratic candidate by primary election. or
by any other plan that will give the peo-
pie an opportunity 10 express their choice,
will be welcomed TO the May conference.
