The press which is antagonistic to the
Governor makes people tired with it's
petty attacks and fake kilograms about
what is, or what is not going to happen
in Washington because of what Cover
nor Dole has or has not done here. The
fact is that the Washington people have
a great deal too much work in their
various departments to bother about
what is going on in Hawaii. The Ha-
waiian Islands are not the Philippines,
and Governor Dole has the confidence
of the administration, the opposition
press notwithstanding.

Judge Estees decision with regard
to the territorial stamp law is highly
important one. There has been a great
deal of talk about the matter and men
who have to deal with documents now
know where they stand. Without the
proper territorial stamps the papers
are absolutely worthless. People had
better look up their documents.

Honolulu is not the only place out
side of the mainland where certain
forms of vice prevails. The accounts
from Manila show a very deplorable
moral condition of affairs, infinitely
worse and more haunting than exists in
our midst. Some of our so-called social
reformers had better go to Manila and
study these matters on the spot.

There is a movement on foot among the
Catholic bishops and archbishops OF the
United States to have shrine representing
this country erected in the upper church
at Lourdes in France. 1t is said that near
ly every other country is represented at
the famous grotto by a small shrine.
Lourdes, as is we'll known, is visited by
many thousands Of American Catholics
every year and this absence Of a national
shrine is very notable. There is. however,
an American flag in the basilica where the
shrines are erected, which occupies a more
prominent place than any of the national
emblems of other countries. The flag that
is seen there was presented to the authori-
ties by Mrs. Frances Throop of Brooklyn,
who was one of those of a pilgrimage con-
sisting of Americans, which was under the
direction of her husband. Mrs. Throop
carried the flag to Rome. where 1t was
blessed by the Pope. When the tourists ar
rived at Lourdes Mrs. Throop made her
presentation there of the national emblem
of her country, and it was placed in the
center of the ceiling of the church. 1t is
probably the first emblem of the kind to
attract the eye Of the visitors. But this Is
not considered by the bishops of the coun-
try all that should represent the Catholics
Of America at Lourdes.

No Hope.

From the New York Evening Sun.
"There is no hope?' The words came
with half sob
"None whatever" The tone was kindly,
but very firm. Plainly there was no appeal.
"You can't do it for me!'
IT canrot 1t would be useless for me to
try. Hundreds of women like you come to
me every day asking the same thing. To
all of them must say No >"
Wearily the first speaker dragged herself
to the door, 1t was the eighteenth place of
the sort she had been to that day, and at
each the answer was the same. AT the
threshold her tired, troubled eyes threw a
last lingering glance around the room-the
rows Of triumphant, gorgeously attired
women. the complacent, prosperous head of
it all who had just dismissed her. Then the
door closed on her-no, not forever. TIL

up her courage to face the music again so
soon. You see, she wasn't a peddler, nor a
beggar, nor book agent, nor an applicant
for work, nor a criminal asking reprieve,
nor c!ubwoman wanting to get her name
in print. She was simply New York
housewife and she was at an intelligence
office hunting a cook.

Her Suit of Sails.
The principal sails used by big racing
yacht are the mainsail, which is the largest
sail Of all; the clubtopsail, which is set
above 1t; the forestaysail, which is the
first of the triangular-shaped sails for
ward of the mast; the jib topsail, of which
there are generally four sizes, and which
is set from the topmast head; the balloon
Jib topsail, the largest saa set from that
point, and the spinnaker, which reaches
from the topmast head TO the end Of long
boom set far out over the water at right
angles to the yacht
The equipment handling and racing Of
such yacht require a larger amount of
money than one would suppose at first
thought. 1t is generally understood that
the contract made with the builders covers
the period from the time the keel is laid un-
til the trial trip, when they deliver her to
her owner. Beyond this point the builder
is not responsible unless some serious acci-
dent occurs, which can properly be traced
to faulty construction. No cup defender
ever started out without something break
ing down, and there are always unforeseen
expenses which must be promptly provided
for, such as the breaking of spars and the
alteration of sails and many minor accf-
dents. captain and a crew of some fifty
men are engaged and under pay long before
the yacht is launched. Their pay, food
and clothing go on for from six to eight
months. Bills for towing the yacht and q
special steamer upon which to berth the
crew are among the heaviest expenses.
They soon mount up into thousands of dol
lars, and by the time the final race is
sailed the owner owners find that the
original estimate for building the yacht has
been greatly exceeded; but the America 5
cup must be defended, and the greatest
credit IS due to those who spend their time
and money in its defense.

iZation must be suspended OF it must have

building suffered much more by the great
storm than was thought at first. The win
dows, frames and all, In some instances,
were blown to pieces. some Of the doors
torn to pieces, some of the plastering off
and all of it injured; roof torn away and
everything deluged with rain and salt wa
ter. Every piece of furniture will have to
be repaired or replaced with new; the piano
and organ are ruined. II
The night Of the storm the building was q
place of refuge where many lives were
saved. Since, it has been kept open as a
refuge and center for distribution OF relief,
and there was never time when the
association was needed as 1t is now. In
conclusion, Mr.. Palmer added:
The churches of the country are fur
nishlng the money to rebuild and sustain
the churches of our city; the children or
the public schools of the land are main

other societies are being well cared for by

Eat All You Can, Mother!

From the New York Sun.
An old man. whose hair and beard were
cut in a chaste, rural design, appeared in
one of the table dhote restaurants the
other day. He had his wife with him.
That was more than the old lady could say
of her hearing. She was almost stone deaf,
which gave everybody chance to find out
what splendid lungs her husband had.
The meal was luncheon. The price which
the old man was asked after he had or
dered two meals was 70 cents
"Seventy-five cents he exclaimed. 'You
don't mean apiece?'
''YeS, sir"
''GraciouS.'
He thought 1t over minute or two. Then
he looked at his wife as II considering
whether he should try to get the dreadful
news past the old lady's tympanum. Evil

could. When the first course came on, he

Is another Savannah enterprise which
will give employment to a number of
people the year round.
The building for this new plant is 10
Gated al the southwest corner of River
and Ann streets, and was constructed to
suit the requirements of a model laun-
dry. 1t is splendidly ventilated, which
will insure more than ordinary comfort
to the employees. All modern conven-
fences have been provided, the dressing
rooms for male and female help overlook
River street, and splendid view of the
river and shipping can be seen through
the windows in these rooms.
The building is lighted by electricity,
and the machinery will be driven by two
electric motors, power and steam being
supplied by the Edison Electric Illumi-
mating Company, whose plant is directly
opposite this building
The machinery in every department is
the best procurable, and an inspection of
the laundry will convince everyone that
the claim made by the proprietors is In no
way exaggerated. Many Improvements in
laundry machinery have in the past three
or four years taken place. and the Red
Cross Laundry starts out with the very
latest machines, therefore, the public will
soon notice that the wear on their gar
ments will be reduced to minimum; this
fact alone should assure the promoters
of this enterprise liberal patronage from
the very start.
Each and every department will be
looked after by competent help, and the
entire plant in charge of Mr.. Joe Read

Dividend. in Life Insurance

Do not come from the earning power OF
money, although the excess of interest
earned over what is required by law goes
into surplus. The mortality tables used
by the companies which have been COM
piled after many years experience give
the number expected to die, at every age.
Naturally the companies must be on the
safe side, and while the premiums charg-
ed are based on the mortality table, never
IS many die as the tables call for. there
fore there is a saving each year. This
saving varies according to the actual ex-
perience of the company, and is the main
source of dividend earnings. Now Just
here is where the Massachusetts law
steps in, for the law provides that all sur
plus in excess of what is required for the
absolute safety Of the insurance must be
divided each year among the policy
holders who created 1t. Massachusetts,
law does not permit tontine or deferred
dividend plans. Twenty years is a long
time TO wait to get back what was justly
due each year, and there are so many
contingencies, that no wonder people pre-
fer the annual dividend settlements
There are many other advantages that

Frank BlacI<woOd's and Miss Sand
ers' Sudden Marriage.

Quite a romantic marriage, which took
place Thursday night. or. to be more ex-
act, early Friday morning. was that OF
Mr.. Frank j. Blackwood and Miss Ger
trude Sanders The young people were
at the meeting at the Tabernacle, and it
was not until after the service had been
ended that they decided to become man
and wife. Rev. william p McCorkle was
telephoned, and asked to perform the GER
emony, and although he had retired, he
consented, specifying only that it should
be at his home. To this the prospective
bride and groom agreed, and the mar
riage took place.
1t was intended at first to keep the
matter a secret for some time, and so
II was told to but few friends. besides
the family of the bride, and will, there
fore, cause considerable surprise now that
1t is made generally public.
The bride is a native of Savannah and
loved and esteemed for her many fine
traits of character and sweet, womanly
graces. She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Sanders.
The groom, though a native of North
Carolina, has been in Savannah about a
year, and is the cashier of the Armour
Packing Company. Formerly he held a
similar position with the George w. Van
derbit estate, at Biltmore, N. c. Mr.
and Mrs. Blackwood are at the home of
the brides parents.
