MIR. GRoOT,s PATTY.

The boiling Democrats who met at
Columbus, o., on Wednesday. launched
a new party, and named ii The Pro-
gressive Democratic party. 1t will
probably be known during the Ohio
campaign as Mr.. Groot's party, as there
does not seem to be enough of ii to
Justify the high sounding name which
its founders have given it. According
to the dispatches there were not more
than a dozen delegates present. That
being the case there is not wide spread
interest in it or in its doings in Ohio.
A leading Ohio Democrat said a day
or two ago that by election day nothing
would be heard of the boilers move
ment. Evidently he understood the
sentiment of the Democrats of the
state in regard to it. Mr.. Bryan also
understood it, because he was careful
to announce that he would have moth
ing to do with the boilers, and would
give them no encouragement. although
the bolt was based upon the refusal of
the convention to indorse the Kansas
City platform.
The weakness of the new party was
shown by the announcement of its NOM
inee for Governor, that he would not
accept the nomination, and 1t is the
understanding that the other nominees
will follow his example and decline the
honor that was thrust upon them. 1t
would be farcical for them to give their
time to a ticket that would not COM
nf
1t is probable that Mr.. Groot thought
that there would be a mighty protest
from Democrats all over Ohio against
the refusal of the Democratic conven-
ton to indorse the Kansas City plat
form and Mr.. Bryan, and that there
was therefore an opportunity for him
to bring himself into prominence. His
surprise must have been great
when no more than a dozen men
answered his call for a convention to
make another platform and ticket. He
probably begins to realize that that
Democrats of Ohio have gone into the
campaign with the intention of win
ming the election. They are tired of
having the state dominated by Repub-
licans.
The absence of any enthusiasm in the
boilers movement and the appearance
of only a dozen delegates at the boil
ters' convention indicate pretty clearly
that the Democratic party would have
had no chance of carrying the state
if men like Mr.. Groot had been per-
mitted to lead 1t.

How Jones saved, the Eggs.

George Washington Jefferson Jones
is a colored man with a reputation,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel He is
one of the most highly respected in
habitants of the bad lands" On Sun
days he attires himself in his glad
rags" and presides at the church door
in the capacity of deacon. Mr.. Jones
has the proverbial fondness of the ne
gro for chickens and eggs, and most
familiar sight in the vicinity of his
back yard is the black man applying
the ak to the neck of a live chicken.
George was on Third street and
Grand avenue Saturday evening. He
carried a large market basket on his
arm and trudged along contentedly
humming ragtime melody. 1t was an
extremely innocent looking market bas-
ket he carried, and il looked strong
enough, too, until something began to
stir under the cloth which covered it..
George stopped whistling and grasped
at something underneath the CLOTH
but he could not stop that squirming.
Suddenly the handle of that basket
broke and the basket dropped to the
ground. 1t was as suddenly overturned
by a large hen which poked its neck
out, flew out and went cackling down
the street. On the ground lay the bas-
toward the curb.
George eyed the situation philosophi-
cally. "'Tain't no use for me to folla
dat dar hen," he said. "A hen has a
'tic'lar version to colored folks. Sides,
a bird in de hands wuth two in de
bush, an / amt a gwine to chase dat
fool fowl. Jest you all watch yoh old
uncle. Heah goes" and so saying the
old darkey picked up the broken eggs
in the market basket and swallowed
them one by one.
He walked to the curb and craned his
neck in watching the excited boys chase
the hen down the street He returned
to the middle of the sidewalk, kicked
the remnants of the basket into the
street and walked away sadly.
"Nevah had no use fob dat bird no.
how" said he. She looked at me with
mean eye when bought her. AL
ways buy yoh chickens dressed. men,
always buy yoh chickens dressed"

COMPLAINTS OF NAVAL STORES
PRODUCERS.

We have been publishing letters re-
Gently from naval stores producers of
/ Florida relative to some of the difficult
ties with which they are now contend
ing. According to these letters they
are having trouble with their labor.
They are paying higher wages and
more for cutting boxes than ever be-
fore and are getting less satisfactory
results. The labor is unreliable, so un-
reliable that very little dependence can
be placed upon il. The labor was far
more reliable when wages were third
or more less than at present, and, APP
parently was better satisfied. The
claim is made that the average laborer
on the naval stores farms only wants
so much money each week. and when
he gets that amount he refuses to do
anything more until his money is gone.
There is no such thing as thriftiness
among them. They don't save money
and don't want to save any. A shirt,
a pair of pantaloons, hat and pail
of shoes, all of the cheapest kind, are
all they want in the way of clothing.
A little money each week for food, to-
bacco and whisky fully satisfies them.
Thus 1t is that the naval stores pro-
ducers find it practically impossible to
get steady labor. 1t is not to be won
dered at therefore that the Florida
convicts are in great demand, at price
far above that which they commanded
a few years ago.
The naval stores producers want to
get together and talk over the situa-
ton, and see If there is not a remedy
for their troubles. Their idea seems to
be that there should be some sort of
an understanding between themselves
respecting labor and other matters, and
that the factors can assist them in
gested as a place of meeting though
it is probable that many of the opera
tors would just as soon meet in this
city. That is a matter, however, for
the producers themselves to decide.
There is no doubt that if a movement
were started for a meeting it would
prove to be very popular. and a meet
ing, if called, would be well attended.
The producers seem to think that the
factors ought to take the lead in the
matter. AS this city is the headquar-
ters of the naval stores industry, the
producers would no doubt appreciate it
if the factors here would give the
question of the advisability of holding
a meeting at an early day some con-
sideration ....-a-..- .-..---

Doctor Couldn't Cure II.

There is an interval of silence; then
a sudden peal at the accident bell is
heard. and the next moment an agi-
tated parent is seen running down the
passage with child tucked under her
arm, its bare legs streaming behind it
in the wind of its mothers rapidity,
says McMillan's Magazine.
what's the matter, missis? Has she
swallowed some poison?"
mo, sir; 1t amt that" she pants;
but I'm that scared l don't know
'ardly which way to turn"
well, but what's happened? Has
she hurt herself?"
mo, sir; and 'er father 'e's that up
set e couldn't do nothink, else 1 amt
used to running like that, and ed
ave brought 'er up, but he says as 'ow
e darent touch er and I've run all
the way, an me cart
Come, now, missis, just tell me
quietly what's the mater with the
child"
Its all very well yer a-sittin' there
and a-tellin' of me to be quiet" cries
the mother; 'if yer 'ad any children
of yer own yer wouldn't like ter see
EN- die afore yer eyes. Oh, dear, oh,
dear. and there amt only two more
and the babyi"
The doctor in despair examines the
little girl, but fails to discover any
thing wrong. Now. look here" says
he firmly u can't find anything the
matter with your child, so you'll have
to go away unless you tell why you
brought her up to the hospital

We suggested the other day that, as
matter of business and for sentiment
tai reasons, the Liberty Bell might be
sent from Philadelphia to Savannah by
steamship for the Georgia State Fair,
and that it could be sent from here to
Charleston in time for the great Ex
position in that CITY, to which it has
been. promised. We had in mind at the
time the safety of the bell as well as
the matter of economy in handling, in
addition to the patriotic desire of Geor-
gians to have the famous old relic lin
their midst" Steamship rates are not
only cheaper than rail rates, but the
danger to the bell on shipboard would
be less than on a flat-car. The Charles
ton Post says of our suggestion: That
is scarcely practicable. If the Savan-
nahians want to see the bell they
should come over to Charleston. They
might even move their state fair over
here and make it one Of the depart
ments of the exposition" None of
which is any reason why the bell
should not come to Savannah. AS
matter of fact Savannahians in large
numbers will go to the Charleston ex-
position. They look forward to 1t as
a big thing, and expect to spend many
enjoyable and profitable days in do
ing" the show And so earnestly do
they desire its success that they con-
template adding whatever they can to
the exhibits. A part of the State Fair
exhibits may be sent over. Our friend
ly interest in the Exposition ought to
make the Charlestonians not only glad,
but anxious to do what they can for
our fair, even to the extent of advocat-
ing the sending of the Liberty Bell
here for a few days. Selfishness is
trait that ill-becomes out sister city.

1t happened at one of the Baltimore

PERSONAL.

The window pane of the -Four
land on which Dean Swift scratched a
couplet, is still in existence, according
to The Buffalo Commercials Table
Talk man. Swift often stayed at the
inn on his way to and from his Dublin
deanery having friends in the neigh
borhood. On one occasion the landlady,
being. occupied with other visitors, did
not pay the Dean the attention he ex-
pected. With his diamond ring he
wrote these lines on the window pane:
THE only member of the first Aus
tralian Commonwealth Parliament
whose return is to be petitioned against
is King O'Malley, who nearly headed
the poll in Tasmania, the veteran Sir
Edward Braddon being only a few
votes in front of him." says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Mr..
OMalley is an Irish American, who
went to Australia tenryears ago as the
representative of a New York as
surances society. 1t is alleged by the
petitioners that he never went to the
trouble of legally making himself a
British subject. However that may
be, he has already sat without objection
in the local Parliament of South Aus
tralia where he distinguished himself
by his fanatical teetotalism and by
bringing in a bill every year for the
abolition of barmaids. He invariably
referred to public houses as drum
keries.' Curiously enough, he was de-
feated at the first general election I'M
der female suffrage in South Australia,
the barmaids presumably being more
active in antagonism than the other
ladies were in friendship"

Once more the bald are informed
what is the matter with them-maybe.
DR.. Delos L. Parker. of Detroit, Mich,
says the trouble is with their breathing
There are many persons who will be
quite ready to agree that some breaths
are sufficient to cause depilation; but
that is not precisely DR.. Parkers idea,
drawn into the lungs and allowed to re-
main there, through failure of complete
exhalation. decomposes and throws on
a poison. "trichotoxicon," into the
blood, which causes the hair to fall
out. In ordinary breathing not a
fourth of the cells of the lungs are
completely filled and completely empt-
led In many of the cells the air re-
mains for a greater or less length of
time, sometimes for days and weeks.
From birth to DEATH it is asserted, the
lungs are never entirely free from
stagnant air.
The air expelled from the lungs con-
tains small quantities of organic mat
ter, as well as hydrogen. Marsh gas
has also been established by research.
These things, of course. remain in the
air retained in the lungs, and in the
process of decomposition of the air are
transmitted to the blood.
DIR. Parker makes the rather daring
assertion that women are more subject
to badness than men. Notwithstanding
60 II haIAhAoAAd
women are scarcer than snowballs in
June; and he gives the reason for IL.
1t is the corsets, he says. Women
strap themselves inside of stays which
preclude the expansion of the lower
section of the lungs, thus making ii
impossible for the lung-cells of that
section to free themselves of the stag
nant air they contain. and making the
poisoning process easy and certain, &C
cording to the Parker theory. BY way
of experimenting along the line of his
theory DR.. Parker inoculated some hens
with the decomposed breath of a bald
headed person, with the effect that the
hens lost their feathers. When the in
EQUATIONS were suspended, however
the hens got their feathers again;
which offers some hope to the bald
headed women. Let them take of
their corsets. run some foot-races and
take other outdoor exercise to pump
out and cleanse the lungs, and they
may once more experience the joy OF
braiding ambrosial locks upon their
brows.
NEGOTIATIONS with the bald-head
germs were also tried on dogs, and
straightway the brutes lost their hair
just as the hens had lost their feathers
Open air exercise, after the cessation
of NEGOTIATIONS, however, soon gave the
| dogs new coats.
According TO DR.. Parker those who
lead sedentary lives. lean over desks
wear corsets and breathe Incorrectly
are the most apt to be afflicted with
badness. The best preventive against
and remedy for badness is deep, full
and regular breathing. open air exer.
else and cleanliness of the scalp. These
he says, will stop the falling out of hail
that has begun to shed. and prevent
the prospective victim from having Il
go through life with a polished poll oil
under a wig. The remedy is harmless
cheap and simple. and is worth trying

Lord Roberts got an honorarium of
100000 from the British government,
not for whipping the two little Boer
republics in South Africa, but for pre-
venting them from whipping Great
Britain. Mr.. Balfour pointed out in his
speech in the Commons that but for the
genius and energy of Roberts. kim
berly and Mafeking would have fallen,
1900 British would have been starved
into submission at Ladysmith and
there would have been a general ris-
ing of disloyalists in South Africa"
That is a statement of what would GER
tainly have transpired; and now as
to the possibilities but not certainties
of the situation: Great Britain
might have recovered therefrom, but
at what a cost?" Roberts reward
therefore, was not for whipping the
fight in South Africa, since it is still
in progress, but for saving Eng
lands face"

The farmer who has raised full
crop of Irish potatoes this year is a
lucky man. There is a shortage of po-
tatoes in New York, Boston. Philadel-
phia and Chicago, and the recent great
drought has largely diminished the
prospective supply. A year ago pota-
toes were selling for $1.25 a barrel;
now the price is 81. with the prospect
for a still further advance to SIS or
more.
