CRUSADE FOR SHORT SKIRTS.

The board of health of Pottsville, Pa,
has ordered all women to wear short
dresses. This action is based on the
ground that the long dresses, which
sweep the pavement, gather up all the
disease germs in the street, and are thus
carried to the homes of the women.

consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence is sacredly secret and

privacy observed by DR.. Pierce and his
staff in personal consultations with wo-

cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address
DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y.

failed to give relief, a letter to DIR.
Pierce has been the means of restoring
perfect health
Accept no substitute for "Favorite
Prescription" The substitute medicine
is only the shadow instead of the sub
stance and is pressed on the customer
because it pays the dealer little more
profit than is paid by a high class
standard preparation like "Favorite Pre-
ScriptiOn."

She don't care fig what the neighbors

For her nanny to scrub and cook is all
right;
For the girl of today must have her
own way.
She cntertains company year in and year
cut.
She don't care snap what her daddy
may pay,
And to carry her point she'll sniffle and
and pout
For the girl of today must have her
own way.
You may talk of life's duties-say all
who dance
Should contribute their mite the fid-
der to pay
And she'll say with smirk as she looks
askance:
I'm as good as the rest-they all have
their way
For the reason for this, you've not far to
look

And you'll feel like cussin' and tearin'

Because some pretty girl has had her

So put on the check-rein-hold her stock
still.

that she will
Bust the breechin' and-then the dew

NASHVILLE'S EXAMPLE.

Nashville, Tennessee, voted one million
dollars of bonds last week to build a
competing line of railroads. The At
lanta Journal says that recently the rail-
roads of the South have made such
re- classification of rates as to discrimi
nate heavily against Southern merchants
and manufacturers, and that Atlanta mer-
chants ''are aroused" 1t adds:
cat this very time Atlanta merchants
are aroused because of unjust burdens
practiced by the weighing bureau and
are petitioning for the redress of their
grievances. The old complaint of unjust
freight determinations is becoming more
and more serious in nearly all Southern
communities, and it would be well both
for tho railroads and for the people if the
former would consider these matters care
fully and give relief before Atlanta and
her immediate neighbors take the bit in
their teeth as Nashville has done"
Before proceeding to such heroic and
costly methods to prevent discrimination,
why not appeal to the Railroad Commits
sions for relief and to the Legislatures?
Regulation of railroads and rigid prohibi-
ton of determinations by law is better
and more permanent than building COM
netting lines by States or municipalities.
States and cities have not usually found
building or running railroads profitable.

REVIVAL OF SHIP BUILDING

Before the war the ship building in
dustry flourished at Washington, and YES
sells from that port piled to all points in
the North and to the West Indies. The
war destroyed Washington which suffered
more from it than any other town. in the
South, not excepting Atlanta, and, with
the burning Of the town and the freeing
of the slaves, the wealth of an hundred
years was swept away. 1t has shown
wonderful recuperative powers, but the
ship building and shipping interests have
not attained the oldtime magnitude
This item in yesterdays Washington Mes
senger and Gazette seems promise OF
a return to the better days:
1.-THE new steamer Chic, being built at
Farrow & Chauncey's marine railways, Is

be ready for delivery. Lumber is now
being hauled for the construction of an
other steamer by this well-knOwn firm

MR.. TONNES SUCCESS.

1t is not often that man who retires
from politics and goes into business sue
ceeds so quickly in business as has Hon.
Chas A. Towne. The news comes from
Texas that the oil company of which Mr..
Towne is president has struck gusher
with capacity of fully 10000 barrels of
crude oil per day and this strike proves
as oil territory the 100 acres of land owned
by the company. His company is build
ing a s250,OO0 refinery which will refine
1000 barrels of crude oil per day. 1t
cannot be said that this success proves
that Mr.. Towne would succeed in ordin-
airy business operations, for his present
venture is largely speculative, but it has
called for capacity of a high order to or
ganize and finance four million dollar
company. The development of the Texas
oil industry is going to make many men
rich, and the outlook now is that among
the three will be Col. Guffy. Governor
Hogg and Mr.. Towne, three leaders in the
campaign against monopoly in 1900. 1t is
presumed by many papers that every man
who makes a fortune Immediately be-
comes an advocate of monopoly. The past
record of these three gentlemen does not
warrant such a conclusion.

1t has been charged in the public prints
that twelve of the executive committee
who voted for the resolutions condemning
Senator McLaurin had been heard to
express regret for their part in the per-
Torrance the day after the meeting, and
claimed as an excuse for their conduct
that they had been misled." These
statements are denied by Editor Magill,
of the Greenwood Is. Co. Journal, who
prints letters from sixteen members of
the committee, declaring that they have
never regretted their vote in favor of
the resolution adopted by the committee
condemning Senator McLaurin's course in
the Senate and requesting his resignation.
They declare that they were not misled,
and they consider the suggestion as a
reflection on their intelligence. Five
members of the committee have not yet
answered the letters of inquiry on the
subject sent them by Mr. Magill.

correspondent asks, what wills be
the result of the Schley inquiry?" Perhaps
we should not tell in advance, but the
question is so earnestly put that We VEN
ture to answer.
There can be only one verdict-a con-
demnation of the administration. If Schley
is found guilty of reprehensible conduct,
why did Secretary Long recommend him
for promotion, and why did the Presi-
dent send in his name to the Senate?
After expressing want of confidence by
putting an officer inferior in rank over
the head of Schley, was the President SC
ignorant of the facts as to applaud him
for guilt and promote him for incom-
potency?
But, if Schley is indicated, the treat
ment he has received from Sampson,
Crowninshield and Long has been so out
rageous that Long would feel called upon
to resign Immediately, and the other two
must ask for an investigation for their
vindicatiOn.

A DECORATION OF HONOR.

The reprimanding of Fighting Bob
Evans because he roasted ex-senator
Chandler was one of the most absurd
spectacles the country has witnessed
Chandler is a private citizen, it has been
sixteen years since he was Secretary OF
the Navy, and Evans wrote the truth
about him. These are three reasons why
Secretary Long should have refused
Chambers demand to reprimand Flight
ing Bob" 1t is all right to forbid an Off
GER to criticize his superiors. That is
essential to preserve discipline, but if an
officer chooses to roast a man sixteen
years after he is his superior officer a
reprimand is as farcical as it is unreason-
able. If that rule is to prevail, Secretary
Long would have to reprimand any naval
officer of today if he should criticize any
act of the first Secretary of the Navy
who has been dead many years. This
shows the absurdty and nonsense of the
recent proceeding.
The truth is Chandler needs a good
round roasting and we are glad that
Fighting Bob gave it to him. AS Sec
rotary of the Navy, Chandler did wrong
Fighting Bob because that gallant sea-
man wouldn't help make the lighthouse
service an annex to the Republican par
ty, and when Chambers treatment of
Fighting Bob" was characterized as 1.-The
bite of an insect" it was a description
Of the ex-Secretary that was true to
life.
Posing as bimeta Chandler sup
ported the gold standard candidate always,
and posing as an enemy of trusts, he de-
clares that the Republican is the only
party that will crush them when he knows
they dominate the Republican party. Peo-
pie cannot retain respect for such man
and there was general qualification when
in "a Sailors Log" Rear Admiral Evans
drew his pen picture.
The reprimand of the Navy Depart
ment in this case was, in the eyes of
most men, a Decoration of Honor

people of practically no means are the
more liberal givers, in that they give
mere than the very rich in proportion to
what they possess. The $1,000 or more
contributed to some worthy cause by a
wealthy individual is commended and
talked about far and near, while the
small amount from another individual, in
