Clear Skin.

'T have been struck with the fact that locomotive engineers. when off of duty, have about the cleanest and whitest hands of any men in the community" remarked a hotel clerk yesterday.
 ''The work of locomotive men Is, as every one knows, related to grease and coal dust, but these self-respecting wage earners use good soap and plenty of it after their runs for the day or night. and l never meet one of them who is not as clean as a pin. The singularly white hands of locomotive engineers Is accounted for by the fact that gloves are always worn during working hours
 During the past twenty years the social. educational and moral standard of members of the locomotive brotherhood has been raised. and today the man who occupies the responsible position of running the engine is a model of tenn perance, intelligence and gentlemanly bearing"

CHAMPION PANAMA HAT TOWN.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 More Panama hats are now worn in San Francisco than in any other city in the United States.
 Broad-b -brimmed, white and airy, they loom before the eye at every turn. Tidal waves of them roll up and down Market street Kearney street and all the other business streets.
 Nothing quite like the Panama hat craze was ever before known in America. So- Der business men become the easiest vic tins of the fad. They desert their office in order to Haunt their "crushable lids' before the eyes of their less fortunate neighbors.
 Listen to any conversation between brokers, merchants or clerks down in the wholesale district, and for blocks and blocks you can hear repeated endlessly, remarks like these

JELks DESERVES ENDORSEMENT
From the Ashville Aegis.

From the Ashville Aeg1s.
 Whatever the success of Johnson's ad- ministration, has not Jelks' been their equal, If not superior? Has not the latter been as faithful a public servant and as honestly administered the affairs of state as his predecessor? Then why should not Jelks receive what was accorded to MT Johnston-an indorsement of his party? We believe that Governor Jelks need not fear the result. The people are not going to turn him down. There is no cause for it that we have been able yet to find. and no one comes forth to show why Jelks' indorsement should be set aside simply to gratify personal whim of another aspirant who has already re- ceived all that he could reasonably ask of the party

Roosevelt and Hanna.

'It looked at one time as if Senator Hanna might make a good race for the republican nomination in 1904, but now President Roosevelt's nomination is a for egone conclusion" said a stanch re- publican of Birmingham.
 T think Hanna is a strong and we'll balanced man, and he would be my first choice. but Roosevelt Is wonderfully pop ular throughout the country, and nobody can beat him. As the time for the con- vention draws on Hanna will come out for Roosevelt.
 Tt may be the Ohio man will get the nomination in 1908. but the chances will be against him then, for should he be living he will be well advanced in age"

REFORM IS AT WORK.
} Chattanooga Times.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama has been trying to discern the motive back of the Hon. Jospeh F. Johnston in his recent announcement of his candidacy for gov- ernor, and the grand old man. is of course supporting Jelks. The issue in Alabama seems to be the old regime of election frauds, conventions. machine manipulations and corrupt politics, and of course Senator Morgan takes sides with the elements of progress and re- form. The southern states seem to be working out their own salvation with some difficulty and a bit of delay, but they are working II out just the same.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE COMO.
 (East Lake.)

By Mary Ware. Here and there a lazy breeze
 Is flirting with the flowers Now kissing the shy buttercups,
 Then sporting mid the bowers. While summer, like an elfin queen,
 In languid beauty fingers. To deck her sassy, dimpled de1ls
 With deft and dainty fingers. But fancy folds her rowing wings
 Where laughing waters play Where beautiful Lake Como sleeps,
 And dreams it's life away. The circling hills in verdure clad.
 Looks gravely down and ponder, For when they woke one morn they found
 This smiling little wonder. And D sstled in their loving arm3,
 Thsy guard their priceless treasurer, And nymphs and fairies say twas boru
 A fount of living pleasure. Ani every little sparkling Till
 ( Comes dancing down with gladnesA Tc grace this dainty queen of lakes
 And chsse away all sadnessr

Manchester Cotton Market.

Manchester, July -i.-There was nd material change in the market last week. and the turn over was small. The de- mand for cloth was affected adversely by the reduction in the price of cotton. The inquiry for India was mostly unac- ceptable and the China trade showed nc material improvement. The South Amer ican and Mediterranean markets were healthy, but inactive. The situation in yarns was generally discouraging. Small lots of American qualities were placed for home consumption to meet imme- diate requirements.

Farming in the South.

Truck farming in Alabama is being developed on intelligent lines, but in the matter of agricultural crops little pro- gress has been made outside of cotton, D said an old citizen who was once a farmer.
 "The fact is there is very little scien- tific agricultural work in the south. There is a great deal of talk about scien- tific methods but there is only talk, as general proposition. The old methods seem to satisfy our agricultural people.

Who Are Great Writersp
rof Trent in the International Monthly.

irpi- Trent III tne INTERNATIONAL Monthly.
How do we as individuals use the term
great" In literature? We use 1t loosely.
but no more loosely than we do in other
connections. and presumably we all use
it mainly of things or persons that do some
thing, not of things or persons that are on
the whole Quiescent, no matter how full
they may be of potential energy. The great
statesman, for example, is to each of us the
man who accomplishes something in the
sphere of politics, not the man who has
merely the potentialities of success. And
he must accomplish something which in
our view Is large, important, influential
comparatively permanent, more or less or
fginal and unique, or we shall not call him
great. Do we not apply the term in litera-
ture in some such way? The poem or the
poet, the book or the writer must actually
do something with US, and that something
must be large important, influential. com
paratlvely permanent. more or less original
and unique. Obviously there are two
spheres in which this large important
something may be done--the sphere of our
emotions and the sphere OF our intelligence
One book stirs our feelings deeply and per
manently; another opens out a range of
new ideas which make an impression upon
our lives: We call both these books great
and rightly.

FISHERMEN'S LAW.
English Principles About Fishing
Leases and Fouling Streams.
From the London Globe

From the London GLOBE
Anglers are not usually litigious set of
men. but within the last few years they
have appeared occa sionally before the high
court to protect their rights and interests.
This has no doubt been caused by the in
creased value of fishings and the difficulty
of obtaining and preserving a good fishing
stream The formation Of fishery districts
and conservancy boards under recent sta
tutes has been useful means of attaining
this object, while prosecutions under by
laws and proceedings to prevent 1iver poi
luton have provided lawyers with Il con-
siderable amount Of work. The class OF
cases to which we more particularly wish
to refer to here, says the Justice of the
Peace. are of somewhat different kind
as they deal rather with the legal nature
of a fishery, and Of the power to lease it,
and the right conferred by such lease
Generally the right of fishing in a river
or stream belongs ato the adjoining owner.
or, rather, to the owner Of the bed of the
river or stream. This'right may however
be severed and dealt with as a separate IN
corporeal heredita,nent, apart from the
ownership Of the son. This may be done
by grant, or the right may be acquired by
prescription. In tbe-dlder books such a
severed fishery was called a several fishery
or separalis piscarfa, In the same way as
the fishing could be severed and become a
separate incorporeal hsreditamen., so could
it be leased by deed for a term Of years
At common law SUCH ailease, if not granted
by deed. would merely amount to a license
and confer no right Of property: but if 1t
was intended to be lease, specific perform

A NOVEL ENTERPRISE.
Canal Connection for the Purpose Of
Killing Barnacles.

From the Christian Advocate.
The city of Seattle lies between Puget
sound and Lake Washington. A canal IS
now being dug for the purpose of connect
ing the two. Puget sound is salt and con-
meets with the Pacific ocean. Lake Wash
ington is 4 body OF fresh water The OBJ
5ect in the connection is novel. Familiar
with the region, and having heard of the
canal and the reason for it. we have looked
the matter up little, and find that it is
to be barnacle cure on a large scale.
1t Is well known that barnacles, va
riety of marine shellfish, attach them
selves to the bottoms of vessels, and after
a time, when the number becomes great
the movement of the ships becomes so
seriously retarded that the vessed has to
be dry-docked and cleaned. This is an
expensive operation, and many are the de-
vices which have been resorted to to pre-
vent the adhesion of the barnacles, but
without success. Barnacles appear to be
more prolific on the Pacific coast than on
the Atlantic, and, therefore. getting rid of
them becomes even more important than
in the case of Atlantic shipping. 1t is a
well-known fact that the barnacles drop
off If the ship lies for even a short time
in fresh water, and the proposition to con-
water lake has for it's end the taking ad-
vantage of this fact so that by means of
the canal the vessels may be run into
Lake Washington and allowed to lie there
until the barnacles drop off. These ami
mails like others whose native element is
salt water, die after a time and lose their
grip.

as before the Christian era its treatment
is empirical and its prognosis blind guess

ms elusive disease is the last about which
the doctors have any right TO dogmatize

BROKERS BAR WOMEN
MOVEMENT TO EXCLUDE THEM
FROM STOCK BROKERAGE OFFICES
Do Not Understand the Market-Lose
Hard and Create
Scenes.


From the New York Times
There is a movement among brokers In
New York to exclude women from their
business houses and TO deny them the priv
ilege OF specializing In stocks. Femininity.
they say. has been given a fair chance to
show its adaptability in the street" and
has failed miserably.
For long time many brokers have con-
sidered women undesirable patrons for
multitude of reasons. During the past
fortnight the opposition has crystalllzed and
several prominent firms have taken a bold.
determined stand to ostracse those MEM
bers Of the fair sex whose gaming instinct
and desire to get rich quick prompt them
to speculate on The markets.
The following is copy OF letter sent
out last week by a well-known firm of
stock brokers. II shows plainly the atti-
tude of brokers. and II is not unlike letters
that have been sent out recently by other
firms:

Dear Madame: We regret to inform YOU
that in future We shall be unable to afford
you the privilege Of calling at our office
on Blank street. We find that some

fled for women to frequent brokers Offices.
and for that reason beg to ask that I'm fu-
ture you VIII kindly communicate with us
only by letter or telephone In this matter
we have used no discrimination Every
woman who has an account or who has
done business with us will receive similar
notice by the same mail. Yours very truly,
