at the Virginia sweet potato. We wonder
If it saw the newspaper report of the big
potato raised near Roxoury, in this State!
1t was so long and large-the potato, not

the account said that any of the men
or women were killed. Inc water in
the potato having been generated into
steam caused the explosion, we dare say
scientists will explain.
No scientist who cares anything for his
reputation will offer such a thoroughly
unscientific explanation as that. Unless
the skin Of your tuber was made of
metal. which is not probable, the steam
would escape as fast as formed, and
there would be no explosion. We think
it more likely that your potato was hol'

THEY OBJECT.

few days ago The Advertiser copied
from The New York Post an article on
the ease with whicn Southern men had
made their way in the great metropolis.
and Of the apparent ease with which
they forced themselves into recognition.
The article went on to show how sur
prised, not to say mortified. some Of the
New York people were because Southern
men come up here with their carpet-bags
and walk of with q thing you have
worked to get for years" Then this is
added:
1t is the flavor of originality that goes
into the daring that compels success, tnat
puts so many Southern men into the high
places of New York. Influences are sub
tie things to measure. But II the eco.
nomic life Of New York could be put

tally, energy and enthusiasm which have

The people of the North have always
claimed credit for their energy and In
dustry, and nave charged that our
Southern people are indolent and lacking
in push, yet It happens in other places,
as it has happened in New York. that
when a southerner decides to So for
anything he generally gets 1t. The
Southern man may appear lazy when
there is no call for exertion, but when
he sees a reason for exertins himself he
does so successfully. 1t may not be al
together pleasant for some OF our North
ern friends to find themselves pushed
aside by the 'indolent Southerner" but
they will have to stand 1t.

A GREAT FRESHMAN.

The sudden illness in Chicago of John
Dillon, the famous Irish leader, came
as a disagreeable shock to those Of US
in Washington who know him. Mr.. Dill
lon has never been physically strong
man. being tall and thin, rather stoop-
shouldered and of narrow chest.
In some respects, Mr.. Dillon Is the
most admirable of all the Home Rule
leaders of the Irish in our day He is
perhaps the best orator now in Parlia-
ment not excepting Joseph Chamberlain
who is everywhere acknowledged to be
now the first subject of the British
crown-greatest Englishman of the hour
Like most men who achieve real distinc-
ton, apart from mere notoriety, in the
Mother of Parliaments, Mr.. Dillon is
scholar.
He was a professor in Dublin univer-
sitv before he took to home-rule politics.
and his lectures were accounted models
Of terse logic and eloquent learning IN
short, he was a great university teacher
before he became a great home-ruie
urea cher. For a time he was the Irish
parliamentary leader. but he is hardly the
man to lead the home-rule forces In the
rough-and-tumble fighting which Tor
TWENTY-FIVE years has been so marked a
chara cteristic of the House OF Commons.
Even Tim Healey, who is immeasurbly
inferior in mental equipment to Mr. Oil
lon, is greatly his superior in the quail
ties of effective parliamentary leadership

intolerable mountebank, Carrie Nation,
is permitted to make a nuisance of her
self In this community Then The Mer-

fined her disorderly conduct to Kansas.
where conditions are somewhat uncouth,
1t was not matter of so great surprise"
There speaks the typical New Eng
lander. II Carrie would but confine her
high links to the wild and woolly West
IL is all right. but when she invades the
sacred precincts Of the Pilgrims and pro-
poses to do stunts in the very shadow
of Plymouth Rock. it really ceases to be
a joke. Carrie in Kansas is an object
to be laughed at and pitied. but Carrie
In Massachusetts, Ii very different
proposition.
And when we come to reflect on the
matter 1t is really very difficult to un-
derstand why this woman should be suf-
fered to 60 on disgracing her sex and
making of herself an insufferable nuis-
ance to all decent people with whom
she comes In contact. Presenting on the
knowledge that no gentleman can strike
a woman she commits outrages which
would not be tolerated in a man and
should not be tolerated in woman.
Have we imbibed some of the supersti-
ton of the Indians which restraints them
from offering violence to those whose
minds have gone astray? for, that Mrs.
Nation is of unbalanced mind or badly
balanced moral perceptions Is beyond
doubt. We do not believe any civilized
woman whose faculties are all right,
would be guilty of such conduct as this
virago has. NOR do we believe that she
should escape the consequences Of her
acts.
And, like The Mercury. We prefer her
in Kansas.

A MoNTGoMERIAN.

l.. A Shaver formerly OF the Mont
gQmery bar, now government solicitor
attached to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, left Washington today for
Los Angeles, California, whittier he goes
to represent the government in an i'm
portant interstate commerce case which
Is to be tried in the United States court
there next week. Last summer Mr..
Shaver journeyed to San Francisco upon
similar mission. shortly previous to
which he had appeared for the govern
ment In the United States courts at San
Antonio and st. Louis.
This shows something of the wide f1eld
over which Mr.. Shaver's duties extend.
It will be pleasing to Alabamians, and to
Montgomerians most especially, to be
made acquainted anew with the fact that
Mr.. Shaver Is remarkably successful in
his legal work for the government. and
that in all Official and social circles in
Washington he continues to enjoy an ex-
ceptional measure of esteem and respect,
to which his high qualities as lawyer
and man entitle him.
Mr.. Shaver lives at the Metropolitan
Club. of which famous and exclusive
social institution he has been long a
greatly liked and influential member.
Other Alabama members of the Metropoli-
tan Club are. Hon. Hilary A. Herbert and
his accomplished son-in-law, w. II.

ORIGIN OF ICE CREAM.
Delicacy Not Known Until the Be
ginning of Seventeenth Century.

Chicago Chronicle.
That most delectable and toothsome OF
connections known as ice cream dates
its origin to a period less than three CEN
turtles distant. II was not, when first
placed before the consumer, the delicious
compound it now is. 1t has been brought
to its present state of perfection by a
gradual process Of evolution from the
original iuea. In the beginning of the
seventeenth century iced fruits AM and cups
made Of ice first appeared at banquets'
table. Ice cream claims Paris for its
birthplace. and yet it is not French
man but an Italian named Precope Cou-
teaux who first thought out the idea of
Icing lemonade and liquors From this
later ice cream, or iced butter. as it was
then called. from its resemblance to that
article of food.
While all civilized nations serve ices in
great variety, we are apt TO think of ice
cream as an essentially American dish;
probably because frozen desserts of all
kinds are more generally used in this
country than in any other Ice cream

We do not know of a State in the
regulations exist than In Indiana. I'm
der a law Wnicn has been in force for
thirty years any young girl who has no
parents or home of her own can be con-
fined in prison along with the criminal
and abandoned members of her own sex.
The indianapolis Sentinel asserts that
there are now in the prison of that city
thirty young girls VINO have committed
no offense whatever, forced to live with
the criminal and depraved inmates" and
adds:
Think of it! Thirty young lives being
poisoned, for this law apples to girls
of from to 10 years of age! Thirty
roundings on the ground that they are
destitute OF a suitable home" and in
danger of being brought up to lead an
idle and immoral life!'
1t Is a shameful condition of affairs
and the wonder is that it should have
so long continued in any civilized coun-
try. The policy of imprisoning young
girls for any crime but murder may well
be questioned. but in Indiana it is made
a crime for a female orphan child to
be without a home or any ADEQUATE
means OF support. They have there
State Board of Charities, but that Board
cannot or will not abate practice which
is a crying shame and disgrace to the
State. We do not wonder that The Sent

call on the people of Indiana in the
name of Christianity. of civilization, of
humanity, of common decency,' to stop
the wrong.

"ooD AND THE TsAR."
The stories current In diplomatic circles
that the Tsar has fallen under the bale
full influence of an American quack
"spiritualist' named Phillip seem to re-
so the categorical statement to that erect
kcabled from Vienna Is not altogether sur
prising or doubtful to students OF inter-
national politics here.
The Tsar Is no ia man OF robust mascu-
Unity and in him survives in marked de-
gree the fataiism of his race. He Is
more oriental than accidental, although
his antecedents are purely western. IL
has been always said that the burden
of the crown was irksome to him, ana
that he is too much a dreamer for the
traditional role of the autocrat Inc
failure of the Tsaritsa to give him son
and heir to the throne instead OF three
girl babies Is known to be source OF
actual grief to him and he is said to brood
over 1t. seeing in 1t some direct fnterposi-
ton Of Providence for his own undoing.
He is intensely religious. as nearly the
whole of his people are; and he Is to them
as the head of the Greek church the I'M
maculate personal representative OF the
Supreme Diety. All Russians are IN
tensely patriotic, and the constant soul
cry of all of them except the mere nand-
Tsar!"
The profound intensity of that cry can
never pass from the memory of one Amer
lean who heard a hundred thousand sol
diers in a breath thunder 1t to the present
Tsar on the vast plain of Tsarkae-selo
same thirty miles outside of st. Peters
burg one perfect July afternoon six
years ago. Thesimpression it made was
overmastering.
The Tsar Is a little man-doesnt weigh
exceeding a hundred and twenty-five
l-headed and thin. though of
most pleasingly amiable bearing. He Is
in person, though smaller, the other self
OF mis- first cousin the present Prince OF
Wales. His marriage to the beautiful
Prince of Waless cousin, was all over
Europe accounted one of the few royal
love-matches. Therefore the current
stories that he intends to divorce the
Tsaritsa because of her inability SO far
to bear him a son may be disbelieved.
The Greek Church does not recognize
divorce. But still, the Tsar Is the
Greek church, and the Tsar is an auto
crat.

That is very simple, isn't it? And it is just what is done by Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic. It cures because it enables the stomach to perform its nat urai functions.
