THEY ARE SURE ABOUT 1T.

Some of those smart Washington
correspondents are sure they know lust
what the President is going to do in
the Schley case. They said they knew
what the finding of the court of in
quiry was going to be and they told the
public all about it in their dispatches to
Their papers. But when the finding was
made public it was discovered that
they had not known anything at the
time their dispatches forecasting the
finding We're published.
And so it will be in regard to the ac-
ton the President will take on the ap
peal which he is now considering. These
correspondents say that he will hold
with Dewey that Schley is entitled to
the credit of the Santiago victory. but
that the court of inquiry was right in
the finding it made. The President NAV

startling to the Navy Department If he

Immediately after the battle of Santi-
ago commencing him as the hero of it.
The President himself, however. has
not yet made up his mind as to the
course he will take in regard to the
case. Therefore the correspondents
cannot be in position to say what his
action will be-

A GROWING ABUSE.

Criminal trials in many instances are
inexcusable. A case that, as a rule.
didn't take more than a week to try
fifty years ago now takes a month or
two. This is due to the methods
employed by the lawyers. They have
scores of handwriting experts, in GER
and a half a dozen other kinds of ex-
perts. Besides the experts. every ram
ification of case is followed until
such a mass of testimony is produced
that the jury is bewildered.
The wonder is that one of these long
cases is ever finished. not because the
lawyers become exhausted. but be-
cause of the sickness of one or more
Of the Jurors. 1t is a severe strain
on a Juror to sit in a jury box for
four, five or six hours a day for
month, or more. On Tuesday last, in
New York the case against Lawyer Pat
rick for the murder of the millionaire
Rice had to be postponed for the day
because of the illness of Juror Camp
bell. 1t would not be surprising IL
there were many such adjournments
before the case is finished. 1t may be
that IL will not be finished before the
present jury, because some of it's mem
bers may become too i'll TO continue
with IL.
These long drawn out trials are a
hardship to those who are drawn upon
the juries in them. Many OF these
Jurors are business men. and their
businesses need their attention. Some
means ought TO be adopted for short
ening criminal trials. The Judge
ought 10 have the right 20 say when
enough expert testimony has been
taken and he should be required 20
limit argument on points arising dur
ing the progress Of the case 10 a very
few minutes. Now, every once IN a
while a point r. raised respecting EVIL
dence offered that b. argued for the
better part OF a days session 81 the
court. The growing length Of these
trials makes reform ~ some sort IN
connection with them necessary.

PARK For ATLANTA.

A matter in which the whole state
should give assistance to Atlanta is the
project of Capt Evan P. Howell to
have the federal government establish
a national military park on the battle
field of Peachtree Creek. The field
should be hallowed ground to every
Georgian. for on its soil flowed the
blood of patriotic sons of Georgia who.
from Rabun Gap to Tybee light" rail-
lied to the defense Of their state The
annals of the Confederate war contain
no page that records greater heroism
and valor than were shown on that
July day when Gen. Hood endeavored
to drive Sherman's overwhelming army
oTer the Chattahoochee by impetuous
charges, on the field of Peachtree
Creek. The effort to consecrate the
battlefield in the manner named has a
worthy and gallant advocate in Capt.
Howell. who. as young captain of ar
tillery. made his guns both heard and
felt upon the sanguinary fields about
Atlanta. The proposed park would be
a worthy memorial to both the armies
that struggled upon the site, each con-
tending for what it conceived to be the
right. 1t would be tribute to the gal
liant American soldiers who there. as
elsewhere in that great war, illustrated
to the world the valor and patriotism
of American manhood. Whatever as
sistance can be given to the Peaehtree
Creek National Military Park scheme
should be given cheerfully.

DROPPING IN
THE THROAT.
Nasal Catarrh in all itsStages
a Menace to General
Health.
Blood Wine Heals the Diseased
Membranes-a Modern Treat
ment Endorsed by all Ply
sicians.

When catarrh of the head gets to a
place where the discharge runs down
the nasal passages and drops into the
throat it has reached the danger point.
If you wait until it goes that far don't
let it go any further-for the next place
it attacks is the bronchial tubes and the
lungs. Catarrh undoubtedly causes more
consumption than anything else, and like
consumption it must be treated through
the blood. Local applications at best
can only serve to work out the dis
charges. They don't get at the root of
the trouble, and sometimes, quite often,
in fact, they irritate the inflamed outer
surfaces and aggravate the disease.
''Blood Wine passes into the blood and
purifies it.
The poisonous matters, which keeps
the membranes of the head and respir-
atory organs, are filtered, passed out of
the system and the diseased parts heal
cd, to stay healed. 1t will stop the drop
ping in the throat and all discharges,
sweeten the breath, relieve the irritation
of the nasal passages, throat and wind
pipe. 1t overcomes the burning, smart
ing sensation in the eyes. 1t removes
the distractions in the head, and makes
breathing easy and enables you to stop
splitting and scraping.

The tangle over the royal box" for
Prince Henry at the Metropolitan OPP
era House, New York, is no more than
settled before a new difficulty is dis
covered. The Prince is TO dine with
the Mayor on the evening of the pro-
posed gala opera performance fQ his
honor. That will make il impossible
for him to reach the opera before half
past or 10 o'clock. To have him
enter the house in the middle of the
performance would be to spoil the
opera. 1t will not do to wait until
the Prince arrives to start the per-
formance, since that would carry II
until l or O'Clock in the morning.
The suggestion has been made that
the oaera be cut out and that a con-
cert Of an hour or an hour and half
be substituted for it. That would
seem to simplify matters, and would
no doubt meet with the approval of
the distinguished visitor. Meanwhile,
we are inclined to the opinion, previ-
ously expressed, that Prince Henry,
who is probably surfeited with operas
and concerts at home, would enjoy see
ing cake-walk better than listening
to high-class music, by way of
change.

In the state of New York for many
years the legal value of a human life
was $1,000. The loss of an arm or
leg might be appraised higher, but the
value of life lost was definitely fixed
at the sum named. If a wife sued for
damages for the killing of her husband
In an accident she could not recover
more than $1,000. Three years or so
ago, however, the legislature changed
the law so that the jury could fix the
sum of the damages sustained by a
plaintiff in consequence of a loss of
life. Last week in New York city two
wives received damages under the new
law, one for 5000 and one for s37,-
600. In another case a father was Civ
en- a verdict for 5000 for the loss of
his child by accident. In this latter
instance. however, the presiding judge
set aside the verdict, saying that the
chiid's life was worth more than 5000
or nothing at ALL 2%

President Roosevelt has put stop
to what had come to be known as
shirt waist" social functions at the
White House. Members of Congress,
1t is alleged, have been in the habit
OF giving away their cards of invita-
ton and admission to White House
receptions. On one or two recent oc>
casions, when cards had been sent to
all of the senators and representatives,
not over forty members of Congress
appeared at the reception, while the
parlors of the mansion were filled with
strangers who had been admitted on
the congressional invitation cards. A
number of the strangers were con-
stituents of the congressman. The
cards had been used as a means of
fiattering the constituents and i'm
pressing them with an idea of the So
cial pull of the congressman at Wash
ington. That sort of thing, however,
does not meet with the approval of
the President. At the army and navy
dinner last week the congressman were
cut entirely out of the consideration
and received no cards There has since
been some quiet kicking, but no open
protests. -

We noted the other day that a vir-
ginia court had ordered the Norfolk
and Western Railroad to pay preach
er $3.50 for valiseful of old sermons
which he lost in the company's depot.
The preacher had sued for 81 $50 dam
ages, but accepted the courts award.
1t appears now that the railroad has
recovered the sermons. Some inscru-
table thief had stolen them. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the road will
offer to give up the sermons Il the
preacher win return the $3.50, and
whether the preacher will agree TO the
trade.

STRANGE SYMPATHY.

IN our dispatches from Pittsburg, Pa.
yesterday it was stated that the bodies
OF the Biddle brothers, the condemned
murderers who met such tragic death,
were exposed to public view at the nm
dertakers establishment for several
hours on Tuesday, and that several
thousand persons, fully one-half being
women, gazed upon the remains.
Is it not strange that there were so
many women in Pittsburg, women of
good social standing, who sympathized
with the Biddle brothers? 1t is stated
that there were twenty-five or more
prominent in church work who used all
the influence they possessed and couId
bring to bear to have them pardoned or
their sentence committed to imprison-
ment for life. They did everything in
their power to relieve them of the mo-
notony of their prison life. They sent
them delicacies from their own tables
and kept them supplied with books and
periodicals. If the murderers had been
women 1t is doubtful if they would
have received any attention whatever.
And yet there is no doubt that the
Biddle brothers were guilty of the
crime for which they were sentenced to
death, and, according to accounts. they
had led immoral lives from their child
hood days and had been guilty of all
sorts of crimes. Each of them had
served term in the state prison, and,
it is said. if they had got their deserts,
they would have spent very little time
out of prison. Yet 1t was for these
hardened criminals that many highly
respectable women of Pittsburg were
conspicuous for their display of SYM
pathy. Will they be as conspicuous in
showing sympathy for the woman who
aided the Biddles to get out of Jail, and
who was with them when overtaken by
the officers of the law?
