Washington, Junt %. - Especially - The speech of ex-Secretary of the Navy Her bert before the Alabama Bar Association was read with much interest in Wash ington. x-Representative William M- Springer of Illinois said: ''The speech should cause no uneasiness nor create surprise among the Democrats. Herbert has been outside the pale of Democracy since 1896. He supported President Me- Kinley in the last two campaigns. and, like many others, he is>awaiting an op- portunity to go over to the Republican party. As he is now free lance, he can afford to speak what he thinks.
 ..I consider his speech the keynote for the organization of a new party in the south. The time Is rapidly approaching when there will no longer be such thing as a solid south. The movement, which has been gradual, to amend the state constitutions so that the negro will be eliminated from politics. Is responsible for just such speeches as Herbert's and Nc Laurin's. The protectionists in the south who have, since the civil war. allied

 '"rhe Republicans in the North will gain more by the elimination of the negro in the South as a political factor than the Democrats The Republicans, if they could only see ahead, could lend assist ance instead of criticism in this move ment. Intelligence will predominate and govern, whether North or South. Why, Massachusetts for years has had law to regulate suffrage just as the Southern States are now proposing to do and noth- ing is thought of 1t.
 Before the civil war there was no such thing as a solid South, because at that time the negro did not enter into tho ques- ton of politics, and TOW that the South politically is in fact getting back to her old woorings. you will witness a gradual division among the intelligent white voters and that element, as I said before, that believes in the doctrine of protection will eventually drift into the Republican party.

STEAMER ASHORE.
A Falling Tide Caused Vessel to Ca
 reen-Now Submerged.

St. John, N. B., June 29.-Steamer armenia, on her way to St. John from New York, went ashore in fog this morning on Nigger Head, about seven miles from this point, and hopes of saving the vessel are about abandoned.
 Word was sent to the agents of the steamer here and tugs were sent to her rescue. Every effort to move the steamer was given up, the crew be- ing taken on boar of one of the tugs.
 The falling tide caused the steamer to careen and she now lies on her side, the water rushing into her holds and with the outlook at high tide that she will be totally submerged.
 The Armenia was in ballast, and was coming here under command of Capt. J. w. Shanklin to load lumber.

such a progressive lady, suiting her pre-

to ever master her unwrtten laws, which
are very often transgressed by those who.

themselves, have no regard for the opin-

Miss Cobbe's Lnppets.

Apropos of the Duchess of Devonshire,
il may be interesting to recall the story
of a certain pair OF lace lappets of hers
which were once the envy Of Bath. Well
might all the ladies envy them, for they
were as fine as cobwebs and made of
point d'argentin. When the duchess
died, the Earl of Arran went straight to
the house and interviewed the maid, say
ing he wanted to buy them to present to
friend. This was perhaps not quite cor
rect conduct on the part of the earl, for,
though at that time all the wearing ap-
parel of a lady was considered to be the
perquisite of the maid, furs and old lace
were always the exception, as they were
generally looked on as heirlooms. Proba-
bly,, however, Lord Arran may have
thought that the maid would probably
dispose of them in any case and to some
one who would not appreciate them. But
be that as it may, he bought the lappets
for TIA and gave them as present to a
lady at whose house he had often been
This lady was Mrs. Cobbe,
widow of Charles Cobbe, NJ. p, OF New
bridge and sister Of William, first earl
Of Clancarty. Bath was a fashionable
center in those days, and Mrs. Cobbe
gave many card parties there. The lap
pets are now in the possession of her
descendant, Miss Frances

MERELY AN EYEWASH.
The Chemical View of Tears Differs
From the PoeticaI View.

Tears have their functional duty to ac-
complish, like every other fluid Of the
body, and the lachrymal gland is not
placed behind the eye simply to fill space
or to give expression to emotion.
The chemical properties of tears con-
sist of phosphate of lime and soda, MAX
Ing them very salty, but never bitter
Their action on the eye is very beneficial
and here consists their prescribed duty
of the body, washing thoroughly that
sensitive organ, which allows no foreign
fluid to do the same work. Nothing
cleanses the eye like good, salty show
er bath, and medical art has followed ma
lures law in this respect, advocating the
invigorating solution for any distressed
condition of the optics. Tears do not
weaken the sight, but improve it. They
act as a tonic on the muscular vision,
keeping the eye soft and limpid, and it
will be noticed that women in whose
eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly
have brighter, tenderer orbs than Others
When the pupils are hard and cold, the
world attributes it to ones disposition,
which is q mere figure of speech implying
the lack of balmy tears that are to the
cornea what salve is to the skin or nour-
ishment to the blood.
The reason some weep more easily than
others and all more readily than the
sterner sex has not its difference in the
strength of the tear gland, but in the pos
session of more delicate nerve system.
The nerve fbers about the glands VI
brate more easily, causing a downpour
from the watery sac. Men are not near
ly so sensitive to emotion. Their sympa-
thetic nature-that term Is used in a med
ical sense-is less developed, and the eye
gland ls therefore protected from shocks.
Consequently a man should thank the
formation of his nerve nature when he
contemptuously scorns tears as wo-
mans practice. Between man and mon
key there is this essential difference of
tenrs-an ape cannot weep, not so much
because its emotional powers are unde-
veloped as the fact that the lachrymal
gland was omitted in his optical make up.

GLENNIE BROUGHT BACK.

Deputy Sheriff Tracy left on the $50 Gem
trail Vermont trau Wednesday for T0ron-
to, Ont, to bring back Alex. w. Glennie of
this city,
1t will be remembered that Glennie was
formerly financial secretary for the local
branch Of the Granite Cutters Union, that
his accounts ave been under investigation
by special committee for several months
past, that on June %, hearing that the com
mittee had procured warrant for his ar
rest from the States Attorney on the charge
of the larceny Of at least $1,000 OF the
Unions funds, he skipped out. All this was
reported exclusively in the JOURNAL at the
time of Glennie's departure.
This occurred on Saturday; on Sunday the
officers found that Glennie was in Montreal
and wired the police there to detain him
He eluded the police Of Montreal but did
not sail for Scotland as had been antici-
pated.
He has adopted several aliases in the
last few weeks and finally was apprehend-
ed in Toronto while working at his trade as
granite cutter.
Deputy Sheriff Tracy arrived in the city
with Alexander Glepnie from Toronto on
the midnight train Thursday night.
Glennie seen at the jail Friday bY a
JOURNAL reporter and he expressed himself
as beirg glad to get back to the States.
Anything. he ga d. waa preferable to a Ca.
madam jail. He declined to talk about his
case but told the story of his capture.
He left for Toronto on Friday night,
June 81, and was in Montreal on Saturday,
the % !, when the officers went to his house
TO serve papers upon him. He was not as
sisted TO escape, although notified on the
Thursday evening previous of the action
taken at the meeting of the union regarding
his case
He had had job waiting for him at To-
rontO for some time previous and took 1t,
under his own name, though he had shaved
his nous ache.
On Tues iay morning last detective
came 20 the shed where he was working
and inquired for Webster the name under
which he was reported to be travelling, but
the firm told the officer that there was no
man named Webster working for them
The detective then ask d If they had not
taken on some men from the States recent
ly. They said they had aud one was Glen
ME from Montp lier and the other Carl
from Barre. Glennie was called out and
when the detective asked bin if he knew
he was wanted in Montpelier, he answered
that he did and was willing to go.
Deputy Tracy said that du ing the trim
back Glennie had plenty of apparent op-
portunities 10 skip but never evinced any
desire TO do 80, but appeared to be pleased
at going back. The Off ser could not learn
that Glennie had used any other than his
own name since leaving Montpelier.
Glennle was brought before Judge Wat
son Friday afternoon and States Attorney
Hoar asked that his aail be fixed al $500
which was done. T. E. Callahan and c. p
Gill, former employers OF Glennie, became
surety and he was released from custody.
