HssS OF THE WILMINGTON

IT Is LIKELY SHE WILL BE RE
TANNED ON THE SOUTH ATIuAIN-
TIC STATION.
Washington, March 13.-The gum
boat Wilmington, which has just COM
pleted a cruise up the Orinoco river as
far as Ciudad Bolivar, arrived at Para,
Brazil, Saturday. Although no orders
to that effect have yet been issued, it
is probable that the Wilmington will
be retained on the South Atlantic sta
ton, and, with the flagship Chicago
and the gunboat Marietta, will consti-
tute the new South Atlantic squadron.
Admiral Sampson sailed with hif
flagship, the New York, and the Brook
lyn, Saturday, from Havana for Puerto
Cortez, on the coast of Honduras. The
Indiana and the Texas. of the North
Atlantic squadron, sailed from Havana
for Cienfuegos. The ships will meet
again in the course Of a week, prob
ably off the Venezuelan coast.

TEACHERS KOEsI
IN COUNCIL DnKELY
TO PREVENT SCHOOL TEACH-
ERlS FROM BEING PAID.


The question Of how to pay teach
ers' salaries without money will be a
problem which will occupy the atten-
ton of the Board Of Education at to-
nights meeting.
The amount is $4,000, and the sum
on hand with which to pay it is $4,000.
The whole trouble is caused by the ac-
ton OF the Republican members Of
Council fghtig for a seat in that body
which has never been held by one OF
their party, with one exception, and
that through accident.
AT the last meeting of Council the
monthly appropriation to the Board OF
Education should have been passed,
but after a number Of futile efforts on
the part of the Democrats to secure a
ballot for councilman, the Republicans
did their cakewalk and left the room.
1t is true that the Republican members
made two weak attempts to secure
legislation, but they were only fer ef-
feet, as from their actions their ideas
are more centered upon one of the
twD appointments which Council will
shortly be called upon to make than
upon, the welfare OF the teachers, OF
any other public Officials, for that mat
ter. The Democratic members Of Coun-
Gil are fighting for what justly belongs
to them. They fail to see by what par
liamentary rules the president Of a
body is clothed with the authority tc
adjourn a meeting without a vote on
the question. and hold that If President
Leitch has that power he also has the
power to declare the present session
at an end and call a new meeting, a:
tits poor RUE that won't work bott
ways"
"If the Republican members are sc
anxious to pass appropriations, why.
said a prominent Democrat, "dont
they allow a member to take Council
man O'Neill's seat, and then proceed
with business. The Spring election
will be held in a short time, and they
can then have an opportunity to ge
control Of Council.
LET the Democrats offer to divide
the offices to be filled with them ant
you'd soon see how much they careC
for the majority in Council AS i
stands now the Republican members
are endeavoring to shift the whole re
sponsibiHty for the present state Of af
fairs upon their Democratic brethren.
1T is thought that the Republican
members Of Council Will soon see thN
fooNshness Of their position and will
go on with the regular business of TIL
city.

The 4Rats" and the Pompadour.

The tight pompadour, especially when worn oyer "rat" is a menace to the nerv- ous system. Drawn away from the face in a direction opposite from that which na-
 ture intended, it initiates tie nerves of
 the scalp and by reflex action affects the
 entire nervous system. The woman whose
 hair is naturally curly" has an adyant-
 age, for it can be combed so loosely as to
 form a natural pompadour and so strain
 the roots of the hair but little, if at all.
 The fashion of wearing a tight pompadour
 strains the muscles and affects the nerves
 of the head and indirectly the entire nerv-
 ous system. The practice of wearing a
 rat is a bad one, for it heats the head
 and induces congestion.
 A physician who is foremost in these in-
 vestigations, and who is preparing paper
 on the subject, to be presented at the
 Medico-Legal society, says:
 'The muscles at the top and front of the
 head are most obstinate. Those at tfle back are much more pl.able and lend themselves easily to manipulation. Indians are quick to discover this, and their squaws braid half the hair from the head and let it fall at the sides of the face. Our grandmothers LlONllleu tue DdIDdIidll StSlS etilu SSl dNoPN- ed themselves to the limits which nature has put upon the manipulation of the halr. They wore it in loose rolls at the side of the
 face and fastened the ends of this part of
 the hair in the coil at the back. 'The roots of the hair are not set verti- caMy, as is generally supposed, but at
 slight slant, in the head. Tue ports of the
 roots which reach the surface point slight
 ly to either side, indicating that nature de- signed that the hair should be parted at the middle instead of brushed back from | the forehead.
 There are small muscles controlling the | action of the roots of the hair They are | known as the erector pill. It is these mus l cles which cause the hair to literally stand on end in case of fright or shock. | When the stiff pompadour brings them | into play, as it does perforce. the erector pill get very tired and rebel. This insur- rection on the part of the tiny muscles is communicated to the other muscles and the nerves and induces nervous prostra-
 tion.''
 It is noteworthy that this great spread of nervous prostration among women has taken place in the past ten years, and So is contemporaneous with the rise and sway
 of the pompadour.
 sixty per cent of our women are neu- rasthenics," said an American lecturer
 three years ago. Since that time accord-
 ing to authorities, the number has in- creased to 75 per cent. En passant it may be noted that 75 per cent. of the women of l of America have worn pompadours for a | part, at least, of the past three years.''

Washed Away the Dam, and Lake Tor
 raine is no More

Tuscaloosa, July 25.-(Special)-Lake LOT raine Is a lake no longer. What was beautiful body of water is now nothing but an immense hole in the ground. Tus- caloosa was visited yesterday by a cloud burst.
 The rain descended suddenly in torrents and the water in the lake rose out of the banks and poured over the dam with such force that 1t gave way. In a little while the whole body of water had rushed out and swept everything in it's path. The road belonging to the hospital leading to Grey stone Farm was washed away at one point and the loss to the institution will be sev- eral hundred dollars. Once before the dam had given way and a large sum of money was expended in building the one which has just been destroyed. The loss is esti- mated at several thousand dollars, as in addition to the cost of construction the lake was filled with valuable fish. The prop erty belongs to J. H. Pitts and S. F. Aston, who, it Is said, will at once take steps to repair the damage.

To Canalize Valley Creek


 'To canalize Valley creek to Bessemer would cost the government &,500,000 The railroad haul to the canal from Birmingham would be 13 mills. The distance by canal to the Warrior river is 3S miles. From the mouth of Valley creek to Tuscaloosa is A miles, and from there to the gulf is 360 miles. The cost of transporting a ton of freight by this route to the sea would be about five cents per ton for railroad haul and A cents for water haul, or total of 49 cents per ton, and a saving over the entire haul by railroad of 62 cents per ton
 Should the navigation of the Warrior be completed to the Kansas City railroad bridge, on each 100000 tons of freight shipped to the sea there would be a saving in transportation charges of $59O 900, and should the canal to McAdory be construct ed there would be a saving of $620 900 on each million tons of freight. To fully real ize what this means to one district you must know that in 1897 the output of thirty mines in Jefferson county was 59OO 900 tons. The product of our coke ovens was 1,500, 900 tons. Twenty-Five furnaces produced 799,- 064 tons of pig iron and the cotton receipts for last year amounted to 150,000 bales. Should the canal be completed and the only tonnage it received be one-thrd of the present coal output and half of the pig iron, it would amount to about 2,400,000 tons, or saving in transportation charges at 62 cents per ton of $1, ,4SS,000 each year. This estimate Is based upon our present output of coal and iron only, and does not take into consideration shipments of man. ufactured iron and steel, cotton, chert nor the increased output of the future nor the increased tonnage derived from the devel- opment of the coal lands lying contiguous to the Warrior and Valley rivers.
 "A profit of ten cents per ton on coal and one dollar on pig iron will reap rich re- turns, and with saving of 62 cents Fer ton to the sea, it can be readily seen how much further the circle of our com merce will be expanded. It will enable us to drive the English and Welch coals from Central and South America, and to send our manufactured iron and steel into the markets of Europe and the Orient Wealth will accumulate here more rapidly than in any district in Pennsylvania, and our popu- lation will treble in decade, our commerce will expand to the four quarters of the civilized world, and the name of our great city will be a household word in lands across the seas."
 q shall do all in my power to promote the interest of this great question in con- gress, and will act with your committee which has been appointed to further the question, but there is another question which has been taken up by your sister organization, the Commercial club, and that is the question of securing the 1oca- tion of a government armor plate factory in this district.
