Departed tl,1s life at her home
on Bell street, Dec. 7, Miss Leo~
nora Spruill, aged 70 years.
She was a dutiful child, think
ing at all times how she might
relieve her mother of her many
duties. She united herself in early
life with the Disciple church.
She was loved and admired for
h christian piety. Death was
from typhoid fever, and all that
a skilful physician and a loving
mother and sisters could do was
done. It does seem so hard for
us to give up our loved ones,
hence we try so hard to keep
them, but God knows best. We
love them, but He loves them
best, so he took her to himself.
Our Father is not willing for his
children to remain away from
home, but takes them home.
Child, your father speaks, "Come
home,' and these words mean
everything to the child of God.
It means their eternal gain. So
we sorrow not as others who
have no hope. Among the last
words Of this young lady was:
"Come, mother, and 60 with me
to the beautiful home" and then
to her sister, %, sister, don't you
see that beautiful home-that
lovely placer l shall soon be there
and rest" There is no greater
blessing that can fall On a brok~
en- heart than such loving words
Surely these words will ever be
retained in loving memory by
the bereaved family.
The funeral was held at the
h ome where a large gathering Of
people met TO show their lov.
and respect. After which ~

REFORMATORIES.

tartan movement = a fellow feel
ing tor the young unfortunates
who In an evil hour fall victims
to temptation and commit crime.
1t is a recognition OF the fact
that viciousness is, to a large ex
tent at least, the result of habit
and association.
Suppose boy commit a theft;
he deliberately appropriates to
himself something which he
knows belongs to another. He is
found out, is prosecuted, found
guilty, sentenced to the peniten
tlary. AS a matter of fact, is not
the punishment far greater than
the crime actually warrants?
We need to start the Reform
atory right And to do this the
Reformers must be reformed. In
our dealings with Our fello '. men
let some quality of mercy be
exhibited. Justice may often
times be better exchanged for
mercy, and if either must be for
gotten, let mercy triumph al
ways and forever. An act of Tor.
glveness has more potency for
good than ext osure and prose-
cution. This to the Individual.
To the lawmakers we would
say, IT we may venture a sugges-
ton, do away with the absurd
and unjust law making petit lar
ceny a penitentiary crime and
fix some penalty by which resti-
tuition may be made to the party
who has lost, while the offending
party Is made to recognize the
majesty of the law by proper
punishment.
In case of minors let the pa
rents become responsible to the
law for the reimbursement of the
property loss and the infiction
of punishment. AS the law now
stands the man vino has lost, re-
gains nothing ottentimes and the
guilty one is thrust into the pen
itentiary, with the certain knowl
edge thattor time, and may we
not add, eternity as we'll, among
his fellows he is doomed to be
an outcast and miserable wretch.
Men, everyday, commit great
er crimes against God and man
which are forgotten, but he who
goes inside the walls of the pubs
lie prison must always wear the
cruel badge of scorn and con-
tempt.
Should the young become un-
manageable and criminally VIC
ious, so that parental control is
out of the question, then let the
State come in ard assume the
right to control the actions of
the individual by physical force.
Here is where the Reformatory
comes in. The individual habits
are under surveillance and en-
ployment and instruction are
given SO that the better nature
NAV be brought to the surface
and better moral principles in
stilled.
This is no plea for covering
ND dishonesty and thievery. It
is rather a plea for the poor un,
fortunate who does not recog-
nize the gravity of the crime un
til too late. And sometimes the
moral nature is so blunted and
destroyed that there seems to be
no Just conception of the odium
of the crime.
If young criminals must be
imprisoned, in the name OF God
and humanity, give them place
to themselves where they may
have some chance to escape the
powerful influence of those
"whose heart Is set in them to
do evil"
Every Movement Hurts.

"THE AMERICAN PERIL
Austrian Apprehension of the Growth
of Our Trade in That Country,

In all the recent efforts Of Austria Hun
gary to further it's export trade, repeated
mention has been made of the danger of
American competition in that monarchy,
according to Consul General Hurst, In a
report to the State Department. A meas
ure to exclude American canned meats, 1t
is stated, is demanded by Austrian manu-
facturers and economists, who claim that
inasmuch as Germany has prohibited the
importation of certain meats in alright
cans and barrels, which acts chiefly on
American shipments in this line, American
packers, losing market in Germany, should
be hindered from increasing their sales in
Austria-Hungary.
One well-known Austrian manufacturer
says Mr.. Hurst, advocates the formation
of trusts In Austria on American princi-
pies. The supposed american peril" he
continues. 'is touched upon in all discus
sions concerning the strengthening and
expansion Of Austrian commerce. and dur
ing the debate in the Austrian parliament
over the big canal system bill frequent
reference was made to the growth and
power of the United States, and the danger
of it's competition in Austria

MINERAL TREASURES,
Stores of Wealth Discovered In An
cfent Palestine.

Stores of Wealth Discovered In An
cfent Palestine.
Consular Agent Harris at Eibenstock
has made report to the State Department
in regard to the mineral treasures of Pal
estine, based on communication from a
German mining engineer in Palestine.
Valuable mineral treasures" says the
report, have recently been discovered in
Palestine. so it is safe to say that the in
dustrial awakening of the Holy Land is
no longer a dream. 1t is true that the
greater part of the once fiourishing country
is a barren desert. The lines of communi-
cation are miserable, and traffic is unsafe,
Jerusalem.
THE newly discovered mineral deposits
lie on both sides of the Jordan and the
Dead sea- The salt deposits of the Dead
sea could be developed into an industry.
The waters hold chlormagnesium, bro m
magnesium and calisalt. Aside from this,
there are the bituminous chalk springs of
Nebi Musa, which contain from 80 to 80
per cent asphalt
"The most important of all the deposits is
phosphate. AS is well known, natural
calkphosphate, phOsphorite and coprolite
are necessary for the production of super
phosphates. This latter composition and
sulphur form the most important ingre-
dents in the preparation of artificial ma
nure. At present the phosphate mines of
Florida almost supply the worlds dema I'D.
THE immense fields Of phosphate to the
east and west of the Jordan need only bet
ter means Of traffic and communication in
order to insure their development. This,
it would seem, Is not far distant, as the
Turkish government is planning contin-
steamboats, are already plying the Dead

AduIterated Flowers Now,

FROM the Lancet.
Many persons have been rudely shocked
TO find that a flower for which perhaps
they gave a considerable sum and which
they took to be genuine proved subsequent
ly to be artificial in every particular.
Within our own experience not long ago
the attention of a gentleman sitting at
dinner was drawn to the fact that his
shirt front and coat We're gradually being
covered with streaks of a brilliant red
color. He was wearing bright carnation
IN MS buttonhole which at quite a short
distance, as 1t appeared subsequently, de-
ceiVed perfectly. Even the perfume was
admired The Hover had Just been
watered to freshen it and it was then seen
that on the water drops detaching them
selves they were of a brilliant red color
While the "carnation' gradually assumed
rant Varlegated appearance owing to
some of the coloring matter being washed
out. General incredulity was expressed
that at first sight, the flower could be any-
thlns Dut real A laboratory examination,
however, soon brought the whole truth to
Nght, and, the results are rema rkable and
certainly a credit to the ingenuity Of the
designer.
There was not the vestige of a carna-
tlon about it. The flower consisted of
slices of turnip neatly cut and dyed with
acid magenta; the stems and leaves were
OF twisted cloth dyed dark green with
chromium; the bloom was ycry fine
starch powder delicately busted over the
stems and leaves, and the support to the
whole clever fabric was a concealed iron
wire. synthetic amber-colored oil known
as "oeillet' completed the deception in Civ
ing perfume wonderfully initiative of the
genuine carnation. Altogether we can
hardly conceive of cleverer deceit and it
is satisfactory to be able to add that so
far as our observations went Il Is free
from positive harm except to wearing ap-
parel.
On carefully searching the various ma
terlais for Irritating substances and poi-
sonouS metals We could not obtain the
sllghtest evidence that such were present
1t is clearly possible. however, that the
colors used for artificial flowers may con-
tain substances injurious to health-such
as, for example arsenic.

Gave Hi. Son. to His Country.

The recent appointment OF Lucian Breck-
inridge as second lieutenant in the army
was of more than ordinary interest. He Is
the second son Of Inspector General Breck-
inridge and the fifth member of that fam
lily to enter the military service. Gen.
Breckinridge's eldest son, Ensign Joseph
Cabell Breckenridge, completed the course
at the Naval Academy in June, 1895 He
saw service on the u. 8. s.. Vermont, Mont
gomery, Texas and the Inflated Maine. He
lost his life February IL. $685. by being
washed overheard from the torpedo boat
Cushing, while that vessel was ON its way
from Key West with orders from the bat
tie ship Maine then in Havana harbor.
The accident occurred only a few days be-
fore the Maine was blown up Another one

some that they have achieved success In
this particular. At any rate all that re-
struction available for houses is to reduce

Business improvements.
The process OF taking out the piers Of
masonry In the first story of the five-aoor
building at the southwest corner Of 18th
and F streets northwest attracts good
deal of attention, owing to the use Of a
steam drill. This effective tool Is perched
on scaffolding, and its progress in eating
Its way through the stone course that is
Just abov. the brick work of the piers
seems to have fascination, which holds
groups of spectators in the hot sun. After
the stone .s cut away from the openings
made by the drill iron beams are inserted
which are to be supported by iron columns
when the piers are removed. This latter
part of the work is rather difficult, for the
reason that the brick work of the piers is
like a solid piece of stone. This is due to
the fact that the contractors for the brick
work, the Lane Bros, used cement mortar
Another business Improvement In the
same section is the remodeling of the build
ing known as HOS f street by w. B. Moses
& Sons so that the floors of that structure
will be on the same level with those of the
Moses building adjoining. The additional
twenty-five feet, with one hundred feet in
depth. will be added to the already large
floor space of the Moses establishment. In
this way an additional show window will
be secured on the F street 'front.' and the
three principal departments of the bus
fness-furniture carpets and draperies-will
each have display window
Handwork in Wood.
People who are interested in the efforts
being made in England to revive the handi-
crafts, as applied especially to furniture
will be glad to know that a movement of
this sort has been started in this country
and many examples of the output of the
American cooperative establishment of
workers in wood and leather are to be
found in this store. 1t is believed that the
Importance which Is given to handwork in
furniture will also affect other lines, so
that there will be an increased demand for
skilled wood workers in the house building
trades. Handwork in wood it is thought
will be substituted in the building trades
to some extent at least for the product of
mills.

SECRET REMEDIES IN AUSTRIA.
Consul General Hurst Says Their Sale
In Forbidden.

Consul General Hurst Says Their Sale
IL Forbidden.
In reply to many inquiries addressed to
the United States consulate at Vienna re-
garding the Importation and sale of pat
ented medicinal and chemical preparations,
Consul General Hurst, at that city. SUBJ
mits to the State Department a report in
which he says that the sale of "arcana"
or secret remedies has always been strictly
forbidden in the Austrian kingdom. He
notes that trade in such medicines and
advertisements of the same are under
strict surveillance of the law.
Further, those medicinal Preparations of
which the prescriptions are not open to
inspection by physicians, or in the pre-
scriptions of which the substance of the
medicinal ingredients cannot be definitely
recognized as to kind and quantity, may
not be kept for sale in apothecaries. Only
those manufactures may be considered as
pharmaceutical specialties that contain
drugs acknowledged to be medicinal reme-
dies, as, for instance, balsam copaiba,
oleum santali and the like; or pharmaceu-
tical preparations. as. extractum filicis
maris, extractum cubebae, and the like; or
simple mixtures Of the same in a new and
more practical form Of application. more
pleasing to the sight, smell, and taste,
such as capsulae geiatinosae, amyiacae,
glazed, Sugar-cOateu, or Qtner Kinds OF
pills. gelatinae medicatae, sapones medi-
cati, etc.
Every new medicinal preparation intend
ed for by the public must be reported
to the authorities, and it's gale may not be
begun until said authorities have found no
reason to prohibit the same
There are certain limits placed on the
importation by druggists Of patented me-
dicinal preparations, in reference, princi-
pally, to secret specialties and nostrums.
Altogether excluded are cosmetics that by
their labels, wrappers and advertisements
are affirmed to be efficacious in the re-
moval of personal blemfshes-impure skin,
freckles, liver spots and baidness-and are,
therefore, qualified remedies.
The regulations in Austria in regard to
likewise strict. All lauaatory notices in
local publications Of cures and remedies
coming from abroad constitute transgres-
sion of the trade laws, and, under certain
circumstances, foundations fer complaint of
unlicensed medical practice, As, however,
the importation of foreign medicines Is
permitted to druggists, suitable an
nouncement of the same IN the~papers can
not be forbidden if done IN accordance with
existing laws, all the more as the adver-
tlslng druggists are responsible for ny
Illegal action. The recommendation Of any
special remedy for general use-hence ir-
ious diSeases-cannot be sanctioned as in
such cases the remedy is falsely invested:
with the efficacy Of an ahcanum. But to
the straightforward announcement Of any
admissible medicinal Preparation with
mention merely of it's direct effect-such as
purgative, solvent. sudorf1ic, and the like,
Dr. Hurst says, no objection can. be made

The Debs class Is not anarchistic when
1t contemplates its natural enemies, the

stitution and all law, sometimes the divine
law itself, come from a desire to escape
from restriction. The laws. Of course, are
often opposed to human rights, are often
unjust, are too often unwise. Sometimes
the laws wrong workingmen; oftener they
wrong property. The courts do not always
decide correctly: sometimes, but seldom,
they are controlled by improper motives

take the proper. steps under the law to
amend it. When courts decision offends

PROTECTING THE GUNS.
Important Feature of q Proposed New
Italian Battle Ship.

Italian Battle Ship.
An interesting report on the proposed
new Italian battle ship Reina Helena has
been received from Commander William HI.
Bechler, our naval attache at Berlin. The
ship will be Of 1850 tons, with twelve-inch
turret guns fore and aft and eight eight
inch guns in turrets on the broadsides.
This arrangement of intermediate heavy
guns in turrets in the, waist Of a battle
ship Is a recognition Of the fact that the
destructive power Of shells carrying high
explosives which can destroy ordinary
easements necessitates the protection of
guns by heavy armor. In other words. the
increase In the effective power of shells
must be Offset by increased protection for
the heavy guns. This fact has, of course,
been recognized in the use of heavy turrets
on the battle ships of all countries, but the
turrets have heretofore been generally con-
fined to the protection of guns of ten-inch
caliber and upward located fore and aft,
and this will practically be the first exper-
fment with heavy broadside turrets.

TO AID FOREIGNERS IN TROUBLE.

Charitable Society.


Charitable Society.
In report to the State Department
United States Consul Skinner at Marseilles
states that prominent French charitable
society, the Societe Marsenlaise de Patron
ages des Liberes ct des Adolescents, de-
sires information concerning societies in the
United States which extend legal and ma
terial aid to foreigners charged with crimes
or misdemeanors, or who are otherwise in
difficulty. The MarseiIles society, says the
consul, has determined to organize a bu-
reau to intervene on behalf Of foreigners
before the French authorities, and to aid
them generally.
The need for such society in every Co.'S
mopolitan city, says Mr.. Skinner, Is be-
yond all question. The distress of stranded
Americans, he continues whether their sit
uation be the result of wrongdoing or ig-
norance, or accident, Is the most frequent
cause Of inroads upon. the personal re-
sources of consular officers. No provision
of law, he states. could ;be framed to meet
such cases, no two of which are alike, and
the scale of salaries established by Con-
gress acts as a severe check to individual
inclinations.
