Some Facts Regarding It's Rapid To-
crease.
Appendicitis among Americans is GER
tainly increasing and while this is prob.
ably due to the excitement and worry OF
American business life, it is more often
directly traceable to constipation. APP.
pendicitis is caused by extraneous matter
entering the vermiiorm appendix and not
by the swallowing OF seeds. II the 5iges-
tive organs are kept in perfect condition
so that the food Is duly assimilated and
the bowels move gently, at least once a
day, appendicitis will never develop.
Don't take chances. Regular doses Of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln before meals
will strengthen the organs Of digestion,
your appetite will be good, constipation
disappears and you feel better In every
way. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does
not relax the bowels by irritation, but by

TO GET COTTON DIRECT.

Manchester, Tuesday.-An important conference convened here today by the Cotton Spinners' federation. was attend eded by all the bankers of Manchester and by representatives of local cotton interests.
 The purpose of the meeting was to con- slider a plan advanced by an American syndicate for improving the present methods of handling and transporting raw cotton from the cotton fields of America to the Lancashire looms.
 An American cotton grower, Colonel Calhoun, introduced the members of the American deputation to the conference. Mir Daniel Le Roy Dresser, one of the American delegates. explained the pro- posed plan, which was heartily indorsed by the meeting.
 Steps will promptly be taken to put the plan into execution. It is the purpose of the promoters to erect large warehouses and terminals at Manchester and to es- tablsh direct line of steamers, utiliz- ing the Manchester ship canal and work ing in cooperation with the system to be inaugurated in the United States.

Gives Free Entertainment.

.orhe City Association at Pittston, Pa, said a visitor from that city, 'cashes much larger sum each month for miners Pav day at one of the Alaska forts in nidwinter has been a time of dissipation among the soldiers, but the association there at pay day time has run popular entertainments, so that the saloons and gamblers appealed to the officers in com mand. stating that their business would be ruined unless these free entertain ments were stopped. This is one of the nractical ways in which the association is doing business with the temperance question. Since the opening of the asso- ciation, with it's popular attractions, in a town in Texas, 1000 men have been en- rolled as members and four saloons have been forced to close on account Of lack of patronage. Since the opening of the Sev- enty-second Railroad branch, New York city, with its fine building, the notorious saloon known as the Yellow Dog has been closed for want of business. The new naval branch at Brooklyn is receiving and depositing money for the men of the navy at the rate of s12o.OOO year. When ever a ship is in the building is packed from cellar to attic. and frequently the 200 beds are filled and the men sleep on the ping pong tables. chairs and every available spot throughout the building rather than go to the saloon boarding houses"

Ex-convicts in Jefferson.

Whatever may be done with the convicts-under whatever plan they may hereafter be worked in the mines in this country, one thing should not be overlooked, and that one thing re- 1ates to the place and manner of dis charges from prison. It is an out rage upon populous county that pays over one-seventh of the state taxes, supporting in part schools in every county in the state, to turn loose the convicts of other counties here. If this were not patient peo- pie they would not have endured the outrage as long as they have.
 Whoever hires a convict should be required to hand him over to the sheriff of the county that sentenced him. At present the releasd convict is given money with which to pay his fare to his former home, and as rule he pockets the money and stays in Jefferson county. This plan for filling Jefferson county with negro ex-con- victs has gone on long enough. It is unjust and outrageously inequitable. Every county should have it's own ex- convicts, and Jefferson county should not be considered a settlement for men just out of prison.
 There is money enough in the use of convicts to justify the requirement of their transportation and delivery in their home counties. At any rate steps should be taken to stop the process by which Jefferson county is rendered penal settlement-a Bot any Bay filled with men fresh from crimes and prison. Attention has heretofore been called to this unjust practice, and now is the time when Jefferson county should make its just complaint heard and felt

Trainlnn Sailors.

"The average landsnan would suppose that with modern memo war, which are A mass of machinery, the sailors would be trained first in mechanics, reInarhe" a sailor yesterday, but such Is not the case. The United States government keeps several of the old type men-o'-war simply for training ships. These are ships which were used in the civil wal. They have steam engines and also a fuli set of rigging and while at sea with the apprentices aboard they do not use steam.
 ''The first thing a green hand has to learn is the sailors language. He has to know what port and starboard' alott and below and other terms mean, and he also has to learn the different watches. Then, of course he Is taught how to turl and reef sails, handle an oar, manage the guns, and is also trained in the use of the cutlass. In seamanship, like everything else, some learn very quickly and others never learn. It is true that on many of the mod-r.. "s7afships there are practically no sails, and knowledge Of rigging would seem to be unnecessary. But it Is, and a sailor is obliged to learn it just as a lawyer has to begin on Black stone, although I understand that very little of the law as stated by Blackstone is now in force.

Poll Tax Qualifications.

The poll tax prerequisite for voting is unmistakably popular. A proposi- tion of repeal in Louisiana was read fly voted down, and a proposition to incorporate the poll tax as a condi- tion of voting in the Texas constitu- tion was carried by a vote of two to one. Hereafter Texas will be a poll tax state.
 A good share of the states are be- ginning to think that the ballot should be limited to those who pay some taxes, and the payment of $150 d year to the school fund is certainly not very onerous condition. All the wandering classes as well as most of the negroes are shut out by the poll tax clause alone. The system has never been repealed in any state that has given it a full and fair trial.
 Alabama's poll tax provision differs from that of some other states in that while payment is voluntary, yet poll taxes delinquent and unpaid are cumu- lative. The voter under 45 years of ago must have paid all of them, whereas in other states the payment Of one is generally sufficient Geor- gia's plan is not unlike Alabama's, and so is South Carolinas. One pay. ment suffices in Tennessee, Louisiana or North Carolina.
 The number of states that limit suf- frage to the taxpayers is becoming year by year larger, and 1t is not inn probable that the condition may be- come general. It is not confined to the south, for Pennsylvania permits only those to vote who have paid tax within two years. The Alabama provision is not at all singular, and it will be apt to stand all criticism many years, although its cumulative feature may prove burdensome, giving the state a large and hopeless non voting class, portion of which will consist of whites.

Iowa. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. These are the surplus or export corn states. Illinois is the leading corn state. and Iowa is the next ors the list. Tho seven states produced this year 1.742,oO0,OOO bushels.
 The ten-year average in Alabama is 129 bushels per acre, as against Q similar average in the chief corn states of thirty bushels per acre. The difference is very great but still 1t is better to grow twelve bushels to the acre at home than to buy those bush els and pay charges on them from distant fields. It keeps cotton money at home, and any good farmer in a favorable year can increase the yield of corn to twenty bushels per acre. Corn is worth 54 cents in Chicago, and when 1t Is carried to the consum- CT in Alabama it is sold at fully 75 cents. Twenty bushels to the acre would therefore mean $15, which Is a good return from an acre of ground.

rHEY THouoHr HIM A pUDE.
Ambassador Tower Looked Upon as a
 Dandy In Duluth.

From the Duluth Tribune.
 The announcement of Charlemagne Towers new diplomatic position at Ser lin has recalled to many Duluth persons his five years residence in this city In the capacity of president of the Duluth and Iron Mountain road. He was much admired and respected. but was consid- cred rather distant despite the fact that he was really quite approachable. A Du- luth man who knows MT. Tower quite intimately says:
 'Charlemagne Tower was at once the most expensively and at the same time the worst dressed man in Duluth. This is accounted for from the fact that he had his clothes made in London. In the early eighties when MT. Tower was here, there were not as many fashionably dressed men here as now and I must confess that large number considered him a dude. But he was nothing of the sort. He was an aristocrat and that was all there was to 1t. and he was a gentle man every inch of the way. MT. Tower doubtless felt the responsibilities of the great wealth of the Tower family, and his position as president of the Iron Range read and member of the execu- tive committee of the Minnesota Iron company.
 "The only time that MT. Tower ever showed the white feather was when the mosquitoes got after him. l recall that when he made his first trip to the pres ent site of Tower he was accompanied by William Bassett, now a member of the soldiers home at Old Point Comfort. and John Mailman, explorers The trip up over the trail had been difficult and tire some but Mir. Tower stood it like a vet eran and found no fault with anything Bassett and Mailman had voted him a trump. But he fell few notches in their estimation the first night in camp, Just as Bassett and Mailman had fallen asleep MT. Tower called out:

IF HARD TIMES COME.
the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times
 The third party movement thus would be precipitated at an earlier date than the political experts are expecting. But it is not thought the resulting campaign would be as close or exciting as it would be of President Roosevelt were not the leader of his party. It has been demon- strated that he is at this time more pop ular than Bryan in the former strong holds of populism. The President ap- peals more strongly than Bryan does to the imagination of the very clements up- on which the Nebraskan heretofore has relied with confidence. Still it is be- lieved that in spite of his great personal popularity the President would suffer in the west by any diversity that might befall prosperity. This would rebound to Bryan's benefit. It would also play into the hands of the Gorman-Hill reorgan- izers and perhaps enable them all the more easily to cure their party effectual- ly of populism-which. (by the way. is coming to be more commonly called by them "Bryanism." ..

pusE A GOOD FlNANcIER.

By Hillary Bell.
 Duse's contract with the Lieblers gives gives her 67 per cent of the gross re- ceipts. She pays the salaries of her &C., tors, while the managers undertake all traveling and hotel expenses. These are honest terms for both parties and each side is suited. No such friction as existed between Mrs. Campbell and MT. Froh- man, between Slgnor Marcagni and the Nittenthals, disturbs the star and man. agement at the Victoria. Duse, most highly strung and nervous Of women, is not fretted by financial matters, and the Lieblers do not bother about art. This season we have to pay more than ever before for a star, because Duse tickets cost S3.50, half a dollar more than was charged by Sarah Bernhardt and Sir Henry Irving. Yet such is the extraor- dinary esteem in which the Italian ac- tress Is held that there are few vacant chairs at her performances, and the box office takes in a nightly average of 5000. Requiring this liberality of expenditur from the American public, Duse is equally generous. She has engaged a company of such admirable actors that none of our stock organizations can equal It in dramatic art, for its rival we must go to Henry Conreid's theatre in Irving place. If her tour ends as well as it has begun Signora Duse will carry back to Italy as her personal remunera- tion a sum exceeding S50,00O She is worth it.
