Looking to Abrogation OF Tunis
Treaties.

Washington, May 25.-Negotiations
have been in progress for sometime
for the abrogation Of two treaties be-
tween the United States ana Tunis.
The negotiations are based upon the
fact that the political status OF Tunis
a undergone 4 marked change within
recent years, so that she is now prac-
tcally a dependency of France.
The American government Is reluctant
to have the old treaty abrogated and
the negotiations are still short of any
conclusive settlement.

EX-President Harrison has made an
other speech and he Indicates clearly
in 1t that he does not favor the policy
that is being pursued by the admins
tration with reference to outlying pos
sessions. In an address at Indiana
polls Monday night, Mr.. Harrison
said:
1T has been recently said that our
fathers organized a misshapen nation,
If these limitations and reservations ap-
ply to all lands that become a part of
our public domain and to all peoples
whose allegiance We accept. Now,
whatever the professors of aesthetics
may tell US about beauty in the alb
stract, we know that in nature and me-
chanics and in formative statecraft
such a principle has chiefly to do with
an intended use. That which per-
fectly accompfishes the designed use
is not misshapen. Orators are mis-
shapen eagles, as all of us have found
WHSll we lIlSu 10 SOdT! Anu SO, DtlOIe
we condemn our constitution as mis-
shapen, if it carries it's general limta-
lions and it's reservations of personal
rights to all lands over which it's sway
extends and to all people who owe al
legiance to the government it organizes,
we must assume that the men of 1776
and of 1877 contemplated the govern
ing of lands and peoples with that alb
solutism against which with so much
cost and care they had defended them
selves. is to beg the question. But it
is not my purpose to press upon you
my views upon this great constitu-
tlonal question. Though many of you
may hold another view, do not doubt
that the republican liberty to differ
on a constitutional question survives
in the Columbia club"

One Respect In Which Northern nnd
Southern Men Diner.
According to the etiquette of the day,
It is not requisite that man shall re-
move his hat In the presence Of wom-
an in a public thorougiifare or convey
ance. Nobody thinks of a mans going
bareheaded in street car or railroad
car or a cab because he is in the com.
pany of women. The elevator Of a
business building or Of a hotel is GER
tainly public conveyance, and the
corridor Of business building or hotel
Is certainly public thoroughfare. Err
60, In our opinion, courtesy toward the
fair sex does not require q man to re-
move his hat in either place because
there happens to be n woman present.
Having said, however, that courtesy
does not require the removal Of mans
hat under the circumstances recounted,
we do not mean to disparage in the
slightest degree the chiyalrous intent
Of the man who does remove his head
covering. If you feel that you ought
to take of your hat in an elevator, do
so. If you are uncomfortable with 1t
on, get 1t of at once. These things are
largely matters Of comfort. In New
York men keep their hats on with
persistence that is somewhat shocking
to the southerner.
If the man In Gotham has any doubt
about whether he should have his hat
in his hand or ON his head, you will not
find it in his hand. He takes as much
rope as the law will give him. On the
contrary, 1t has not been very long
since 1t was the proper thing in
Charleston for gentleman to stand
with his head uncovered during oil the
time he was conversing with lady

The substance called radium emits
radiatlons resembling the x rays with
out the application Of work or energy
from external sources and without ap-
preciable loss of weight. This seems
to be inconsistent with the law Of the
conservation Of energy, but the mys-
terry is explained by the calculations
of M. Becquerel, which show that a
loss of weight so infinitesimal that in
amount to no more than a milligram
would suffice to account for the OBJ

The Massillon Independent still finds

The one extenuating fact as far as
the commissioners are concerned is that
the engineers estimate was far too low
and that both parties to the contract
relied upon its correctness. That the
commissioners have, through what can
be most mildly characterized as care
lessness, forced upon the taxpayers an
unnecessarily expensive structure, goes
without saying.
And how came the engineers estimate
to be too low? Or was it Just too low

Don't despair about the probability
that you will not be here to witness the
close of the century. If things go
as they did in the nineteenth somebody
will not only have discovered how to
keep the living alive, but
will have discovered how to
raiae up most of the dead. This opens
possibilities suggestive of the millennium
and mitigates the solemnity attaching
to farewell to the old year and the
old century at the same time. Already
science has done much to prolong life,
and a doctor in Chicago the other day,
demonstrated that heart action could
be induced almost indefinitely by the
introduction of common salt in the lobes.
The thing hasn't been perfected yet,
nor were many things perfected at the
opening of the nineteenth century.
Those that had not been perfected then
have been perfected and other things
have been discovered. 1t Is not un-
reasonable, therefore, to begin to rejoice
over the immediate prospect Of scheme
whereby the good may live always. AS
that includes about every reader of the

 At tomorrow evenings meeting of the committee on houses and appara- tus of the fire board bids will be opened for new room which, 1t is planned, will be built on the Nash street side of engine house No. 8. on Edwards street. The additional room is much needed. As it is now, the area is so limited that the night watchman must jump quickly out of the way with his chair at the sound of an alarm lest the horses run ming to their places strike him. The land on the Nash street side of the house Is sufficient to allow for room IA by 30 feet in dimensions, and in this room, when completed will be placed all the necessary accessories to an en- zine company's home outfit.
 The captains desk, the gong, batter ies and mems day quarters will be cas- fly arranged for fn the new apartment. Chief Fancher thinks that the proposed renovation will make of S's house one of the best arranged headquarters of any of the company's houses in the city. He states that the improvement is much needed.
