No UgIiness In Nature.

No natural object can be ugly, repulsive,
uninstructive or Misunderstanding if we see
it as it is and have knowledge of its place
and purpose 1t may lack what artists
call the clements of grace. Its solafs may
be dingy.~ But then, how soon ~ tire of
too pronounced brillisncy! Tho uHliest
weed, on the other hand, Is not always
ugly. Think Of the brilliant beetle or gay
butterfly that may rest upon 1t.
A turtle roofing in the mud Of ditch,
itself tho color of the soiled water that
surrounds It, is SO beautifully adapted to
its home and habits that we forget the
lack of pleasing color and are impressed
with the more suggestive beauty Of adap-
tation. We cannot center q thought upon
the object before us-a serious, prolonged,
truth desiring thought-and there and
then only will the symmetry Of natures
handiwork become apparent. Such recog.
milton on our part repays us as fully as
foods of color delight the unthinking eye.

Surgeon Page Declares 1t as Good as
Could Be Expected.
Washington, May 25.-Surgeon J. e.
Page, of Admiral Dewey's flagship
Olympia, has arrived here on leave.
He came ahead Of the Olympia to
avoid the long delays of the sail via
the Suez canal. Surgeon Page has
been on the flagship ever since Dewey
took command, seeing him daily and
having general charge of medical af-
fairs, so that he is in position to
give an intelligent view of the ad-
miral's health and general condition.
He said:
Admiral Dewey is no sense sick
man. but is as well as any man could
be after spending year in the tropics.
| was on the Olympia at the time he
came aboard, and from that time to
the present do not believe there has
been any appreciate change In his ap-
pearance, weight or general condition.
Anyone who thinks he is a physical
wreck should hear the admiral on the
quarter deck when he gets aroused.
Of course everyone in the fleet has
suffered in health more or less during
the last year, owing to the terrific and
long sustained heat and the enervat-
ing climate. 1t takes all the life out
Of strong man, and uudoes hxi energy
and ambition. In that way Dewey
suffered with all the rest of lis. 1t was
particularly arduous during blockade
duty, when for long stretches no man
could get ashore"

Baltimore, May 25-Five hundred
saloon in Baltimore, it is estimated,
will quit the business. Some of them
have already closed their doors, and
others will follow. The cause of the
great shutdown is the determination
which controls nearly nine-tenths of
the output of the city, the Maryland
Brewing company to abandon the
practice OF paying the saloon licenses.
Last year, on May II, applications for
license filed with the board of liquor
license commissioners numbered 2,451.
On the same date this year only 2,291
applications had been filed, a falling
off of 100 The decrease in applications
indicates what the extent Of the gen
eral shutdown in the saloon business
will be. 1t is safe to say that about
one-tifth of those who have applied
for licenses will not buy them.

policy best calculated to promote
the growth of our city, and there
fore we urge the voters to cast their
ballots for the Republican candi-
dates. The continuance of the con
troll of the commissions by the Re-
publicans is an important matter
and votes should not be thrown
away on candidates who have no
hope Of election. The Republicans
should come to some understanding
and act unitedly for one common
object. Having achieved success,
they can arrange party differences

avenge past differences will only
result in injury and endanger fut-

City Council who has no hope of sue

thereby be assured. There is no
other way to get control of the city,
but by compromise and that COM

love their party and desire to up
hold its policy.

Celebration at Tampa, Fla.

Honor Queen Victoria In a Pretty
Celebration at Tampa, Fla.
Port Tampa, Fla, May 25.-The
S0th birthday of Queen Victoria was
celebrated at Port Tampa Yesterday.
At sunrise salutes were fired from The
British and American war vessels lying
in the harbor and from then on events
crowded rapidly on each other The
sh pping in the harbor was gay with
its display Of flags and pennants and
throughout the town was a liberal
display of flags, bunting and floral
decorations. British and American
flags 1oated from every point of van
tage and among them were many Ger
man flags.
The most striking feature of the dec
orations was triumphal arch dis
playing the British lion and the Ameri.
can eagle. In one paw the lion grasped
an American flag and in one claw the
eagle held the British colors, the entire
area being entwined with American,
British and German flags. Two hun
bred marines from the Intrepid and
Pearl, the two British cruisers sent
to take part in the celebration, were
escorted up the long dock by the
Tampa division of the Florida Naval
Reserves. the Englishmen playing the
American national airs and the Amerj-
cans responding with the British an
them. Arms were presented as they
passed under the arch.
The most dramatic incident of the
day was the unveiling of a large por-
trait of Queen Victoria. The portrait,
draped in the flags of the two coun.
tries, stood upon small balcony of
The Inn. AT noon precisely, in the
capital at Albany, N. Y, Governor
Roosevelt touched an electric button,
the covering fell from the face and
