DANISH WEST INDIES
No Thought of Purchasing the Islands
Now.
When Matter Comes I'm IT VIII
Be by Treaty Nego-
tiatfOns.

The State Department is not now going
into the question of the purchase of the
Danish West India Islands The presence
OF Capt. Christmas Dircknich Holmfeld in
Washington with the purpose of negotiat-
ing deal and the fact that he talked
with Secretary Hay on the subject give
rise to the impression that negotiations for
the purchase of the islands are pending
The fact is that the department has not
taken the matter up. 1t is a matter of long
standing knowledge that Denmark wants
to dispose of the Islands, and it is also I'M
derstood that Germany would like to get
possession of them. This government, with
the Monroe doctrine, stands in the way Of
the sale by Denmark to any European
power, tnasmuch as no such power cares
at this time to make the purchase in the
face of opposition of the United States.
Denmark cannot afford to hold the is
lands, and since We would not sanction
their sale to any other. this government
may in time come to the conclusion to
make the purchase

1t is the opinion Of those in Congress who
are familiar with the subject that this gov
eminent cannot, in Justice to Denmark,
continue for all time a refusal either to buy
or to permit any other government to buy

only as something that may demand atten-

In 1929 the British admiralty bought ana stationed her in the waters of wester, Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in comIqana5 and from his Scottish birth. place <ae town of Perth in Australia takes it's ~ame. From 1847 to 1851 t5e Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip she had on board several hHnaead imml. grants who intended to seek their for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other of1cogs, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left tae ship and went oiI to seek their fortunes The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Var Diemenss Land, as Tasmania was tber called, and she also served as a floating prison for especially dangerous erim- inals. The vessel then became popu- Iarly know nas "The Hell of the Ocean" title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck. and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover. they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insabordihate prisoners were always placed in the latter These curious cells. many of the old instru- ments af torture and a number of wax figures representing, famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting 9 crowd of sightseers.

uaye More Lelsurs Time Than Men an,
 NataraIlx Think Oyer Things.

daYe More Lelsurs Time Than Men aHd
 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemofial women have been 1old-by women, as well as mea, though naturally more often by the Iatter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit tIa good The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the little ness of their protected liyes-for it Is the protected woman who does the most worrying--that 1t is hard 10 see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- GUS. If women had the capacity with men o2 getting up and doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels that he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make sufli- cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look at it more prae- tfca1ly, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health. because he really has not the .ime. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work, and how is il with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested In the present; nor about his clothes, for the taiior stands between him and that; nor about home matters--they, from his point of view, are too trivial until he comes home to badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- pioye does not to his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. a method that will ret come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom- sn's worries.

 Far More eomman.
 Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common, and the way the use Of glasses has inereas- ed would be extremely startling If we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of a group of New Orleans business men. "When was a ooy 1t was very unusual to see a young person wearing specs: now we en- counter them at every tura. Our gTandfathers used to be proud of their splendid vision, and in mary cases it was retained into advanced old age. but at present a pair of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the fule am willing to bet that you can go lip and down Canal street, from ona end of the retail district to the other. without finding half q dozen business men of over 45 who can get along withs out artificial aid to the sight.

We have aIs read how some ot our great statesmen studied their les sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such a thing, which I doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it With spectae1es in 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 uanotieed, and, though there are prob ebly more spectaeIes among very old pea@le you will likewise find fewer very old peopl9 totally bind ,

 rss various ways in which a cold # ln = brought on are thus described may " F Kellogg: A little Nnife py g p of air blowing in through a Dae1 n window upon some part of els'p podv will chill that part and tho
 slsod spS vessels of that region will be. NO0s contracted, affecting somewhere eouS 4so interior of the body an area in v aav ~. relation with this portion of the lsnsn .saca of inc body. For instance, the
 s,aod Sod vessels of the skin of the top of ,be p1e shoulders and the chest are asso- sioted with the blood vessels of the ,,ags s,~ss 50 that whatever happens to .sa .s-7 hlood vessels of the skin of the .hon1dars .o and chest happens also to .ho blood vessels of the lungs. If there = contraction of the blood vessels of 4be hack of the neck there will be a sanfraction of tie blood vessels of the sosa and throat, and if there is contraction of the blood vessels of the ton of the shoulders and the shoulder tlades there will also be a contraction af tbe blood vessels of the lungs When the influence of the cold is con- ,inpod this contraction is followed by eonpestfon. When one puts his hands into cold water, for a few minutes they sro first pale and then red. This is re. action. The longer the application and inc more intense the degree of cold the ereater will be the contraction and inc congestion. So if the hack Of the neck is exposed for long time to tha influence of cold one is likely ta haye cold in the nose and throat # the shoulder blades and the tops gf the shoulders are exposed one is tAa'y to take cold in the lungs and suffer EaHl congestion of the lungs. If the CO g long continued it may cause not only 2 congestion but an inflammation of the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled weakness ot the bladder may result if there has ever been a trouble there, or q weakness of the stomach if there has been 5atarrh of that organ.

reporters of tho Philadelphia Times,
were acquitted late yesterday afternoon
in the Camden Criminal Court OF con-
spiracy in causing the arrest of Edward
Eugene Darnell in connection with m
alleged confession OF Eli Shaw concern
ing the murders Of his mother and
grandmother. Tho jury deliberated
about an hour. This was the second
trial of the accused. At the FIRST trial
tbsre was disagreement. = 4 "a
Mrs. Nelson of Woodbury.. mother OF
Miss Mabel Nelson, Eli Shaw's former
fianceo, did not respond when called as
witness yesterday.
The testimony was practically the
same as given at the former trial Both
defendants testified in their own behalf,
claiming that they had acted under
orders from the Times office in chasing
up eli Shaw and Darnell and causing
the arrest Of tho latter. They stuck
to their original story that Shaw made
a confession to them.
Counsel for tho accused repoi tiers
took numerous exceptions aud fried to
have aiVerdliot of not guilty ordered by
the court when the evidence WAS all
in,sbut Judge Armstrong decided to
let the case so to the jury. x
