Lnmber Yard DESTROYED.

Lumber Yard DESTROYED.
Several thousand dollars worth Of
lumber, belonging to Mr.. A. J.
Ross. was DESTROYED by fire las,
Thursday morning. The FIRE was
discovered early in the morning and
before assistance could be rendered
the building, which contained the
lumber, twenty-four wagons and
other articles of value, was covered
with flames and in short while il
was entirely destroyed. Books and
papers, which were not in the safe.
were also destroyed. The origin
of the fire is not known.
The timely work Of the 6remen
saved the High School building and
perhaps other houses in that street.
The fremen worked very hard and
deserve much credit.
The fire IS quite a blow to Mr..
Ross as the property was only
partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. Ross has taken steps to re-
build the yard and his bus mess will
soon be in full operation again.

.sAar. Bryan should carefully avoid the
mistake Of trying to be humorous. Humor
y mot in his line. He takes things seriously.
He ~ strong man, leader, 50 profoundly
coovtoced OF the virtue of his mission a. to
verge upon fanatcsm. His mental and in
tellectual process are fervent. Hi> ideals
are high. His attitude is one Of grave in
tensity. He nurses large ambitions for his
fellow men. Had he lived some hundreds
Of years ago. he would have been Peter the
b not his forte. 1t is much beyond the
reach of his apprehension as is pocket pick
ing og astroloRy.
1--WE have noted, on more than one oc-
casson IN the immediate past. what seemed
attempts by Mr.. Bryan TO be whimsical and
frivolous. The experiment gave honest
pain. We do not want to laugh at Mr..
Bryan. We believe that in this age of
mountebanks and weaklings and buccaneers
he is one man of thoroughly sincere con-
victions and thoroughly unselfsh purposes
no matter how misguided or how wise his
aspirations. But he should keep within his
Limitations In the speech he delivered At
indianapolis he showed to splendid advan-
tage. There he was upon his own ground,
master OF the situation, powerful, persuasive
intrenched in eloquence and logic, figure
of dignity and force. To our mind that
impressive deliverance has not been wholly
answered yet. Perhaps it never will be.
This, however. is another question. What
we wish to say is that Mr.. Bryan had better
keep within the territory which he has ex-
plored aud in which he appears to- such ad
mirable purpose.
ssIt il not given to all men-indeed. it IS
given to very few-to possess the humorous
insight or the gift of graceful pleasantly.
Mr.. Bryan is not one Of these. He is an
his eyes are fixed upon the mountain top,
and he sees not the pretty and the blithe-
some things that fringe his path. He Jokes
with difficulty to himself and with sorrow to
his audiences. In Bryan. the reformer,
the pioneer, the propagandist, there is
much to admire and approve. Bryan as
Rigoletto makes the judicious grieve.''
1t appears that the criticism of
the Washington Post was provoked
by the fact that in one of his re-
cent speeches Mr.. Bryan in a per-
fectly good natured way INDUCED
in some pleasantly at the expense
OF the gold Democrats who bolted
their party four years ago. The
Republicans and some of the So
called Independent newspapers sup
porting Mckinley, pretended to
take his remarks seriously and are
now distorting them with the view
of keeping up the feeling against
him among those Democrats who
him four years ago. In
other words the enemies of Mr..
Bryan are trying to make a noun
tain out of a mole hill, but they
will not succeed for the reason that
no intelligent gold Democrat unless
he was extraordinarily sensitive
took offence at what he said

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmother never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Billousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard OF Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration of
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
Indigestion food, regulate the ac-
ton of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action OF the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

Gov. 'Dick" Leary of Gaam is civ
ilizing the island on the lightning exe
press method. It will be completely
Americanized in about year. In a let,
ter to his brother, an army officer, the
governor announces that he has abol-
ished slavery (Which was exactly
right, compelled some friars to leave
the island, amended the marriage laws
with regard to polygamy, prohibited
the liquor traffic, and forbidden drunk
enness. In his drink order the gov
ernor sternly said: Drunkenness is
the chief source OF all crime and trou-
bic in this island, and must and shall
cease. That he is benevolent des-
pct ca-not be gainsaid. For exam
pie, this order: "Fo1 the protection Of
government interests and as a safe
guard against the Vaccinations, de-
vices and schemes of spectators and
adventurers, il is hereby ordered that
all persons who claim ownership of
land in this island or its dependencies
are prohibited from selling or trans
ferring any portion OF such property
without first obtaining the consent of
the governor. Violation of this order
may be punished by fine or imprison-
ment or both

MODERN DENTISTRY
Artistic and Intricate Gold Filings a
Thing of the Past.

THE modern dentist need not be
nearly as skilled workman as his
father was" said one of the craft yes
terday, as he merrily knitted up foot
or two Of nerve with his little crochet
hook, entirely disregarding his patients
means. you see, there are no beau
tiful and artistic gold filings put in
nowadays. AS soon as a tooth gives
an opportunity for showing skill in fill
ing, prestei it is cut off and crowned
or bfidged with gold. A gold tooth Is
considered not unbeautiful. it seems,
but nowadays porcelain filings are
pfSferre6 10 metal ones for eonspieu-
GUS places. The porcelain comes in a
powder, an impression of the cavity is
taken, the filing made, baked hard, in
serted, and secured by the cement with
which the cavity has first been padded.
As al shades Of porcelain are to be had
to match the different tints of teeth,
these filings are quite ineonspieuous.
There are a few people still who don't
mind showing a gold mine when they
open their mouths, and among these
afe eolored people, who seem to think
they gain a certain amount of distinc-
tion from such display. Among the
most curious requests that I have had
in regard to work was one from an ac
tress to extend cavity she had in a
front tooth so that it would form J,
and fill It with gold She explained
that she was going to marry man
named John, and that she thought it
wAlld be perfectly lovely to have his
initial in evidence whenever she talk
ed. | finally dissuaded her from this
original project by pointing out that it
might be embarrassing in later years,
If she should chance to marry a man
named Thomas or Richard. She evi
IDENTIFY saw the good sense of my re-
marks, but she relinquished her re-
markable idea reluctantly. Women
generally very sensibly want to make
the fact that they have had to resort to
art to preserve their teeth as imper-
ceptible as possible. SO. as | said be-
fore, there's no really beautiful work
done at present in the way of intricate
filings, and that's fact Baltimore
News.

BETTER EYES NOWADAYS.
Despite the Fact That spectacIes Are
Far More Commen.

Defective eyesight is certainly be-
coming more and more common, and
the way the use of glasses has inereas-
ed would be extremely startling II we
had not grown accustomed to them by
degrees, said one of a group OF New
Orleans business men. when I was a
boy it was very unusual to see a young
person wearing specs now we en-
counter them at every tuTa. Our
grandfathers used TO be proud of their
splendid vision. and in many cases it
was retained into advanced old age,
but at present pair Of perfectly sound
eyes are the exception instead Of the
rule. l am willing to bet that you can
go up and down Canal street, from one
end of the retail district to the other,
without finding half a dozen business
men of over 45 who can get along with
out artificial aid to the sight. | paid a
visit to young ladies' seminary not
long ago. and out of one class of SO I
counted is wearing glasses. That is a
frightfu1 percentage. If it doesn't indi-
cate that the human eye is playing out
under the strain Of modern conditions
| would like to know what it does
mean ?'' e think can reassure you"
said physician who had joined the
party while the other was speaking.
The human eye is net playing out, but
IS merely receiving better care. The
statistics on the subject do not extend
back more than go OF 40 years and are
very imperfect, but they indicate thai
there is less defective vision now than
there used to be. especially among
school children. I know that is con-
trary to the general impression, but it
IS faet, and is attributed to better
lighted school rooms and better printed
books. We have al. read how some Of
our great statesmen studied their les
sons by the light of the fireplace, and
if they ever did such thing, which [
doubt, you may rest assured they paid
for it with spectaeles il after life. The
reason why SO many glasses are seen
nowadays is that the slightest visual
defect is at once corrected, while in
former times it was either ignored or
unnoticed. and. though there are prob
ably more spectaeles among very old
people you will likewise find fewer very
old people totally blind.
