Madden's bath rooms now open
The seaI and the bear.

The seal does not stop his search for
food until he has completely satisfied
his excellent appetite; thea he takes n
good nap, lying upon the very edge OF
the ice or as close as possible to his
breathing hole. The slightest sound
will awaken him and. without waiting
to find out the source or direction, he
rolls into the water. He can stay un-
der for only thirty-fve minutes, but
where he will come up none can tell.
This no one knows better than the
bear. and IL the bear realizes that II is
impossible to steal up on the leeward
side of the seal, having his black nose
covered with his paw and his bloodshot
eyes closed, when the seal has his open
and on the watch he looks about for a
favorable point Of departure, dives un
der the ice. and if he rightly judges the
distance and direction he comes up at
the very spot where the seal has ex
pected to go down. The seals fate is
thus settled, and the bears shrewdness
earns its reward.-St. Nicholas.

A typical south African store.

o. r. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical of South Africa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
s'needle to an anchor" This store is
situated in a valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about twenty
five miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says: 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius OF
thirty miles, to many of whom | have
cupplied Chamberlain's remedies. All
testify to their value in household
where doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile of my
store the population is perhaps sixty.
Of these, within the past twelve months,
no less than fourteen have been abso-
lutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This must surely be a re-
cord" For sale by Richard Gibson

COTTON MILL MERGER.

The much -talked-of Fries cotton mil
merger of certain classes of all southern
cotton mills has been at last consummat-
ed to the extent that writings have been
gned by seventy mills located in Vir-
o MIA. North and South Carolina, Georgia,
A'abama and Tennessee. The company
formed to acquire these properties will be
termed the Southern Textile Company.
The financial parties interested are rep
resented BY New York trust company.
The controlling management will consist
of southern manufacturers. In the plan
under which they will organize appears
this clause:
sNo plant or business shall be pur-
chased. however, in the organization of
the new company, except with the writ
ten unanimous approval as to the desira-
bility of purchase, and as to the proprie-
ty of price of certain persons named.
The committee will meet in Greensboro,
n. c., in formal session today to consider
and pass upon options submitted by the
seventy mills referred to. From these it
will select the more desirable and pur-
chase them outright, paying cash and
,curities of the new textile company.
The option provides that the company
can issue 81, 900, 000in common, 81 600,
900 in preferred stock, and Sc, 900, 600
in bonds. This huge consolidation will
have an important influence on cotton
manufacturing in the South, and it is
claimed by its promoters that it will
prove blessing to the industry by elimi-
mating ruinous competition.

DRASTIC RESOLUTIONS The Liberty
League, of Washington, met last even
ing at headquarters and adopted an ex-
preston as to its policy concerning the
coming elections.
The course of anti-imperialists during
the coming campaign was outlined as
follows:
Whereas the republican leaders of the
United States have entered on an i'm
perial policy contrary TO the teachings of
the fathers of the republic, and contrary
to their own teachings; and
Whereas nothing but waste, spoilation
rapine, and murder abroad, and anarchy
and decentralization at home have follow
ed in the wake of this anti-republican
course; and
Whereas the social, industrial, and
financial problems which confronts us in
our own continental domain are such as
to challenge the aggregate wisdom of the
nation; and
Whereas our failures in solving them
are such as to bring into derision our
bombastic professions about teaching
other people self-government; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we denounce the
stupid and brutal doctrine of imperial
ism, and the pusillanimous course OF the
republican parry in repudating the just
doctrines Of the Declaration of lndepen-
dence on which that party was founded,
Resolved, That anG-imperialists VIII
do all in their power in the pending
elections to give control Of the House OF
Representatives 10 the democratic party,
which has kept faith with the people on
this vital issue, in the face of organized
calumny and misrepresentation.

ANOTHER MURDER IN WASH.
INGTON.

As was stated in the Gazette, there
was another murder in Washington yes
terday-the second in the past three
days.
Because she refused his offers of mar
riage, William Dougherty, govern
ment printing Office employe, twenty
eight years of age, shot and killed Miss
Amelia Fisher, twenty-three years old,
employed in the biadery division, and
then ended his own life by shooting
himself through the head. The shoot
ing occurred at 6O39 Fourth street
northwest, the home of w. f. Thomas,
messenger in the Treasury Depart
ment. and was witnessed by Miss Tillie
Dougherty, sister of the dead man.
Dougherty lived at GIG / street north
west, with his brother and one sister.
He met Miss Fisher when he first went
TO work in the government printing
Office. AS she was exceedingly popular
he began paying her attention, which
apparently was not distasteiul. The
mans infatuation for his co-laborer in
creased as the months went by, and
several times, it is said, he proposed
marriage. This, however, Miss Fisher
refused, and their friends say that of
late she had frequently tried to avoid
him.
Yesterday morning Dougherty appear
ed at her home under the influence of
intoxicants. He asked for Miss Fisher
but was informed that she had gone to
work. He then returned to his own
home, where he consulted his sister and
asked her to intercede. She consented,
and went to the government printing
office. She entreated that young lady
to come home and have talk with him.
All three went into the parlor of the
house and were socn busily engaged in
effecting a reconciliation.
Miss Fisher, however, refused to be
conciliated, although Dougherty, his
sister says, pleaded with her for some
time. At last she arose from her chair
and walked into the back room, follow
ed by Dougherty. Silence for second or
more ensued, when suddenly a pistol
shot rang out. Miss Fisher fell to the
floor, the blood pouring from bullet
wound in her face. Miss Dough-
erty ran shrieking from the room.
Dougherty then walked back into the
front room, about three or four feet from
where the body Of his dead sweetheart
lay, placed the revolver to his right ear
and fred, killing himselfalmost instantly.
Miss Fisher, the dead young woman,
was one of the most popular employees
in the government printing office. She
was attractivein appearance, being about
the average height, with light golden
hair. DOugherty was also regarded by
his fellow-workers as an exceedingly
pleasant fellow. He never dissipated to
any great extent, according to his family,
and spent the greater portion of his time
at home. He was quite an athlete, and
belonged to the printing Office baseball
team.
