THE WAR against bedlam during the
Christmas holidays is extending and
in various cities throughout all sections
of the country strict instructions have
been issued by the authorities against
the firing of guns, the explosion
of cannon crackers and the blow
ing of horns This practice had
gone so far that sharp check had to be
put upon it. Unreasonable man objects
to other people amusing themselves so
long as the amusement does not reach
the nuisance stage, but when that condi-
ton is reached a stop must be had, and
such people have to be reminded that
others have some rights that they must
respect. Christmas is merry making
time and should be so, but those who
prefer to enjoy the season in rational
way should be protected from weeks
din of ear-splitting noises and nerve
SCATTERING explosions. Then, too, the
danger of accidents is great, while
many people who live in the country
are kept from visiting cities during the
holidays lest their horses be frightened
out of their wits.

THAT nothing succeeds like success,
no matter how that success is attained,
is the belief of many men. Col. Slemp
succeeded in being sent to Congress from
the Ninth district of Virginia and it is
understood that he now aspires to con-
troll the federal patronage of the State,
though Mr.. Park Agnew, chairman of the
State committee, and his associates have
for years done all the work attached to
the conduct of the several campaigns.
Well, no one can tell one day what
President Roosevelt may do the next, so
the Virginia republican Organization"
may be turned down and Mr.. Slemp
given control while he is in Congress,
but should this happen, another change
will have to be made in two years, for
Col. Slemp's election this year was an
accidentand the next time the democrats
will beat him so badly that he will not
know where he is sat.

DEATH OF MRS. GRANT.-Mrs. Ulys-
SEES S. Grant, widow of President Grant,
died at her residence in Washington last
night. Mrs. Grant had suffered for
some years from valvular disease of the
heart, which was aggravated by severe
attack of bronchitis. Her age prevented
her rallying from the attack. Nellie
Grant Sartoris, her daughter, was the
only one of her children with her at the
time of her death, her three sons, who
had been summoned here, all being out
of the city. Mrs. Grant had been in poor
health since her return early this fall
from her summer home at Coburg, Can
ada. Coburg is fashionable place for
Americans, Europeans and diplomates.
Last August Mrs Grant was little over
taxed with anxiety owe. the details of the
wedding at that place of her grand
daughter, Miss Vivian May. Sartoris, to-
Mr.. Frederick Roosevelt Scovel. Early
in October Mrs. Grants condition was
such that her physicians advised her i'm

was taken there hurriedly on special
car; arriving on October IL. Since then
she had been confined to her led most Of

CAUTION.

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 25 cents size
has just been introduced this year.

A JOINT resolution was introduced in
the House of Representatives on Satur-
day by Mr.. DeArmond, proposing an
amendment to the constitution providing
that the term of the President shall
continue until April 80, 1905, at noon,
and thereafter April 80, at noon, shall
be substituted for March 4 as the begin
ming and ending of the term of the
President and Vice President, and that
the 59th Congress shall end and the Goth
begin on January 8, 1907, at noon, and
thereafter each Congress shall begin and
end on January 8 at noon. SO far at
least as Inauguration day is concerned,
the proposed change is a move in the
right direction. As rule, the weather
in March in this latitude is cold and dis
agreeable, and not propitious for out-of-
door celebrations. As years go by and
the population of the country grows, the
attendance upon the Inauguration of a
President also increases and the desire is
growing that the day fol- the ceremonies
be fixed at a more suspicious season. As
this desire is most reasonable one and
as no one can be harmed thereby, where
as the health of many who attend in
augurations in March is endangered, it is
hoped that Mr.. Diamonds bill may
become a law.

President Recalls Col. Mosby.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 15.-Though he
has not completed his work, Colonel
Mosby, who was sent to Nebraska by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
fencing in ofIpublic lands by the cattle
millionaires, has been recalled. When
Colonel Mosby found how boldly the
cattle kings had appropriated the public
domain, he declared they would be
promptly ousted, even if the President
had to send troops to tear down the
fences. This remark and others caused
ill-fealing, and the Washington Govern
ment has found it necessary to find an
other place for Colonel Mosby.

FIGHTING IN VENEZUELA.

The most warlike act yet committed
by the British and German allies in their
programme of coercing Venezuela into
the payment of claims is the lombard
ment of the fort and custom house mt
Puerto CabeIlo The bombardment took
place late Saturday afternoon, but news
of it did not reach the outside world until
yesterday.
An attack by a mob at Puerto Cabello
Wednesday on the British merchant
steamer Topaze led to the bombardment.
The mob, it is stated, pillaged the ship,
took down the British flag and imprison-
ed the captain and crew, but later releas-
ed them.
The British cruiser Charybdis and the
German cruiser Vineta arrived at the port
Saturday. The commander of the Brit
ish ship sent demand to the authorities
for immediate satisfaction for the afiront
to the flag, threatening to lombard in
two hours if satisfaction were not given.
President Castro was consulted by tele-
graph and Is minutes before the expira-
ton of the two-hour limit sent reply
authorizing the chief Venezuelan official
at Puerto Cabello to give ''ample salts
faction.
Before this answer could be commune
Gated the time expired and the ships
opened fire. The fort replied, but was
soon silenced and battered to pieces by
shells. British marines were sent ashore
to occupy it. 1t is believed that only
few Venemelans we're struck by the
shells
The United States Vice-Consul and
Consular Agent, w. H. Volkmar, of
Baltimore, was appealed to by the people
of Puerto Cabello before the lombard
ment to intercede for them, but his efforts
were of of avail.
The report that Italy has joined in the
pressure on President Castro by demand
ing payment of her claims is confirmed.
While President Roosevelt has not
been in absolute sympathy with the
Castro administration, and while he has
seemingly been in accord with the policy
of Great Britain and Germany, yet he is
said to believe the latter went too far
when they destroyed Venezuelan naval
vessels The President and Secretary
Hay are said now to be anxious over the
situation, which may develop a cru
cial test Of the Monroe doctrine.

The Price of Meat.

Chicago, Dec. l5.-The wholesale
prices of dressed meats are from three to
four and five cents pound lower in
Chicago than they were six months ago,
according to statements made by the
heads and members of the leading pack
ing companies of Chicago. 1t is the
general understanding among Chicago
brokers and live stock merchants that
meat prices will decrease from the pres
ent figures, and that the average of all
dressed meats will be five cents a pound
lower before spring. Members of pack
ing firms, however, will not talk about
future prices. The reason for this drop
IN prices, given by Chicago packers, is
the enormous corn crop this year.

today that Count Lamsdorf, Russian
minister of foreign affairs. will leave st.
Petersburg for Vienna Immediately to
arrange the Russo-Austrian measures
against the new German tariff. Lams-
dorff's visit will not only inaugurate o
European boycott against Germany, but
may also be the death knell of the triple
alliance. 1t is also considered possible
that the visit of the Russian foreign
minister heralds an attempt for Russo
Austrian control of Turkey, leading
ultimately to the partition of that
country

Bic SHIPMENTS of Coal.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 15.-Cold weather
brought stop to the rise in the rivers.
As result, the water in the rivers is
receding, giving the rivermen a chance
to take out the immense quantity of coal
that is in the harbor. Ambition bushels
of coal left Pittsburg for the South
Saturday. Ten million more were sent
yesterday. The high water worked con-
siderable damage in McKeesport. Steel
plants and rolling mills were flooded and
work was suspended. Considerable
damage was done to the machinery.
