Mr.. Schwab says he is all right, ex-
cept that he needs a rest. One of the
physicians who attended him in his
recent attack of illness says he is a
victim of neurasthenia, or nervous
prostration. Which is correct the public
cannot tell. Meanwhile it may be re-
marked that if the doctor is right, Mr..
Schwab has broken down when ordi-
narily he should have been in his
prime. He is only forty years old.

Queer stories are being told about
the new battleship Maine, now lying at
the Brooklyn navy yard. One of them
is that the .ar1nor of her after turret
shows numerous longitudinal Cracks,
some as much as a quarter of an inch
deep. One section of the armor, II is
said, is so criss-crossed with cracks
that one cannot lay his hand on it
without covering two or more cracks.
These cracks, it was explained. will be
filled over with cement and then
smoothed and painted, when the arm
or will look better. 1t is further ex-
planned that the cracking Is a natural
consequence, due to the manner in
which the plates are bent. 1t will
take some strong arguments TO make
people believe that first-class armor
ought to show cracks like that.

Why do most of the Northern and

drunk? The church to which he then
belonged said he was, and expelled
him from membership. The Governor

that he was sober as a. judge, at the

complaint. Now some of the Repubh-

of spanking when hayward children
were in need of discipline. 1--WE teach
the children to wag the tongue, wag
the pen, and zigzag their eyes across
a line, while they want training that

to getting accuracy in it's finer mus

develop first. The child wants free
dom of action, not repression. Cut off
a tadDole's tail and it never has any
legs. Repress the instinct of the child
to use its larger muscles first, and YOU
stunt the child. Do not reason much
with a child about matters OF moral
conduct. 1t Is not worth while.

before being elected, must receive a
majority vote, and if none Of the can

then says the General Assembly shall
proceed to elect a Judge from the two

Der OF votes. This is the provision OF
the constitution of the state of GaoI-

Governor, and an amendment to the
constitution states judges of the Su-

but pending full report by the chair
man OF the Finance committee, action
was deferred.
However, Council will meet next
Friday night for this special purpose
Alderman Glover suggested the en-
forcement of the ordinance prohibit
ing the use of bicycle IS on the side
walks, to the great danger of pedestri-
ans, and the matter was discussed at
great length.
As the City Council can only sug
gest TO the police the enforcement of
ordinances, 1t was agreed that this
body could no nothing msre.
In this connection it may be said
that bicycle riding, recently, has be-
come a menace to pedestrians. Young
negro porters, especially, violate the
law, little attention being paid thereto,
Something was also said ABOUT the
dead ordinance prohibiting the leaving
of teams unhitched on the streets, but
the corpse" was not disturbed.
An effort was made to reconsider the
payment of City Attorney Taylor's
bill of $175 for extra service, but this
failed on tie vote of three to three.
