He Answered 1t,

The following story Is told Of how
Thomas B. Reed was admitted to the
jar in California: Mr.. Reed was being
examined as to his qualifications for
the law along with several companions.
The question "Was the legal tender
act, in your opinion, constitutions"
was asked Of the candidate sitting next
to Mr.. Reed. The young man hesitated,
as well he might, for even the justices
Of the supreme court had spent many
weary days hearing arguments on that
particular question, and after once de-
Gliding that it was unconstitutional aft
erward reversed their decision. While
the young man hesitated, the judge
turned to Mr.. Reed, saying, What do
you think, Mr.. Reed-was the act con-
stitutional"
ut was" replied Mr.. Reed, without a
moments hesitation.
Every good" was the reply; "you are
admitted to the bar. Any man who can
answer offhand a question that is still
puZzling the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States is certainly pre-eminently
qualified to practice law before this
court" -Washington Letter.

the two classes working together 1t Is
only question of time until the move
ment will be made a political issue,
and then will come the desired i'm
provements.
The argument offered in favor Of the
improved roads is that they lessen the
cost of repairs, make 1t possible to
haul the largest amount Of goods with
the smallest animal power, save time
and increase property valuations. No
railroad company would expect to do
business If its tracks and roadbed
were in such condition as to make it
either impossible to use the tracks at
long seasons of the year or in using
them have to lose a great deal of time
and have immense repairs to make,
and yet that Is what the farmers and
others using the common roads are
doing in comparative way every day
in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the
greatest expense. 1t has been esti
mated that in the states where the
stone roads have been built the cost Of
transportation has been decreased to
20 per cent Of the former figures and
that the roads pay for themselves
within a few years. 1t has been fur
Their shown that the amount lost in
the different ways mentioned will
more than pay for the building and re-
pairs Of these roads on the annual as
sessments made for them or that it
costs no more each year to have good
roads than it does to have bad ones.

YELLOW JACK IN SOLDIERS HOME.
-Four Thousand Old Veterans May Have Been
Exposed TO the Disease.

Newport News, Va, Aug. Newport
News and Hampton were Guaranteed
against the soldiers home, near Hamp-
ton Monday morning. There are 30
cases Of what is believed to be genuine
yellow fever at the home, and three
deaths from the disease were reported
Sunday
Quarantine officer Hobson, Of this
port, went to the soldiers home last
night and verified the statement that
there are now 80 cases of the disease at
the home.
The news has created great excite
ment in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton, and the most vigorous meas
ures will be resorted to to prevent cases
81 reading. There are 1000 old veterans
at the home, and several large excursion
parties went through it last week.
The last official advices show total
of 81 cases and seven deaths from yell
low fever at the soldiers home at Hamp-
ton One new case occurred at the
home yesterday. Thus far the disease
has been confined to the home, but all
surrounding towns are excited, and
vigorous quarantine is being main
tanned.
DR.. Wasdin of the marine hospital
service is in charge of affairs at Hamp-
ton. and is working in cooperation with
the local boards of health. He has
strengthened the Gordon about the town
of Phoebus, which he reports is in very
bad sanitary condition. The fact that
only one new case appeared yesterday IL
encouraging to the officials here, who
are taking every measure to prevent a
spread of the disease. Already a num-
Der of inquiries have been received by
DR.. Wyman from quarantine officers
throughout the United States asking
whether they shall impose maritime
quarantine against Norfolk. He has re-
piled that there appears to be no neces-
sity for such restriction in the case of
either Norfolk or Newport News.

Highway Improvement.

The principle OF the good roads move
ment as advocated by the wheelmen is
that the common roads of the country
are as important as the railway sys-
tens, the statement being made by
them and being easily understood that
there is not an. ounce of any commodi-
ty hauled over the railroads that Is not
first transported by wagons over coun-
try roads or city streets. 1t does not
matter IL the commodity is manufac-
tured articles that are loaded on cars
at the factory. The raw material has
first to be hauled to the factory. But
the greatest hauling is done in the
farming districts, and there it is that
good highways are most needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves as
yet for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in
the building of common roads, since
there would be no income from the
investment such as there is in rail
ways. Municipal, county, state and
the national governments nave not had
the issue brought directly before them
in its full significance, because it is
necessary to first educate the people
to the necessities Of the movement.
This is what is being done by the
wheelmen at the present time, and it
must be said to their credit that they
have enlisted the sympathy and sup
port of all the prominent farmers or

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eust acl-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
diton Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh

Convict Labor on Roads.

If the plan to put convicts at improv-
ing the highways is feasible, it should
be carried out. 1t will not in any way
interfere with the laboring man who
SO often protests against the employ
ment Of felons at work which deprives
him Of an opportunity to make liv-
ing. The open air, outdoor life and
wholesome labor would result In max
ing better men of criminals, while the
prison walls affect the average nature
in the opposite way. 1t will improve
morals and roads at the same time,
thus coming nearer to the idea of q
civilized nation.

close or mean with his money. He
made handsome personal settlement
upon his wife when he married her,
which she returned to the Sprague, es-
tate when it became embarrassed. Her
marriage was the climax of Kate
Chases career. Since then her life has
been constant struggle against adj
verse circumstances. First, her hus-
bands fortune was swept away. Then
came trouble in the family, and Mrs.
Chase secured divorce. She removed
to Edgewood. There though retired

start out as a market gardener, rails

new system than in any ten years I'M
der the old management. 1t has work
ed no hardship to any one, as they
have hired the taxpayers to perform
this labor, paying $1.50 per day Of ten
hours for men and SD per day for men
with teams. The increased amount Of
work performed and the improved con-
dition of the roads have stimulated and
encouraged the people, who would not
for moment think Of going back to
the old system. Similar results are re-
ported from the towns of Westport,
Randall, Turtle and Middleton. In the
last named town the tax was reduced
by three-ffths and collected in cash,
and far more work was accomplished
than ever before.

The Missed Dish.

A schoolmaster in village school
had been in the habit of purchasing
pork from parents Of his pupils on the
occasion of the killing Of the pig. One
day a small boy marched up to the
masters desk and inquired "if he
would like bit of pork, as they were
going to kill their pig"
The schoolmaster replied in the af-
firmative. Several days having elaps-
ed, and hearing nothing of the pork,
the master called the boy up to him
and inquired the reason he had not
brought it.
"Oh, please, sir" the boy replied
'the pig got better."- Francisco

The result Of the great single

Joseph Mcguire and Joseph Whitehead,
which served to attract over 20, 900 people
to the banks of the Charles river Satur-
day afternoon, was scarcely feature in

regatta. Ten Eyck simply rowed away
from his opponents, and merely padded
over the line at the finish. Still, Ten
Eyck came within a foot of losing the
race on foul for he turned the wrong
buoy and Mcguire missed hitting his
shell by a footA Magure's subsequent
protest was not allowed.

day, and which was won by the Boston
