STOPPING A STONE WALL.
An Illustrative Instance of the slow
ness Of Congress in Getting
Into Action.

The work Of preparing all measures
is done in secret, and no one person or
leader and no party, is responsible
for what is done or left undone. The
country does not know why this item
Is inserted in an appropriation bill,
why that economy has been practiced,
or what is the reason for some bit Of
extravaganza, writes II. L. Nelson, in
Century Sometimes the committee
demonstrates that even il might be en-
lightened by discussion and criticism,
and perhaps the letting in of light
would show that advantage might fol-
low if congress and its committee
should leave to the discretion of ex-
ecutiye and administrative officers
some Of the details Of expenditure. /
have been told Of 'breast-high stone
wall" at West Point, for example.
Years waxed and waned while superin-
tendents pleaded for $4,000 for the
construction of a "breast-high stone
wall' on the road leading from the
wharf TO the plane. the road running
along the edge Of precipice At last
congress moved. and the $40 900 wall
WAS built Having moved it was now
impossible for TITO stop. so it went
on year after year appropriating S20,-
600 each year for q "breast-high stone
wall" until "breast-high stone walls"
became a drug at the military acad-
emy. They ran around the post, and
threatened to choke it up. superin-
tendents begged congress TO shut them
off. and finally succeeded.

FINE TRIBUTE TO REV J. H..
 GEORGE.
FROM THE ARCHDEACONRY RECORD
 FOR JULY.

We wished that Newtown might have been in Litchfleld County, but we were compelled to recognize that Fairfield Archdeaconry sadly needed some Litchfield invigorator speedily administered, and that alone recon ciled us to the departure of Archdea- con George, who has these many years stirred the hearts of all by his ener- getic work on behalf of the Masters great charge. After pr Seymour had said the prayers for Divine guidance, the members proceeded to select one to lead them in the years to come. One of the most delightful exhibitions of brOtherly love was the manner in which the election both of archdeacon and secretary and treasurer was con- ducted. Certainly all was committed to God the Holy Ghost, for none but He presided in all our deliberations. Naturally many minds turned to Dr Seymour, whose very name is syno- nym of spiritual strength, and who is endeared to all hearts by his winning graces and the yeoman service he has done for the Church for we'll nigh half a century. But Dr Seymour evidently felt that he had received due need of honor from the diocese. though he modestly spoke of the need of young CT man as a reason for withdrawing his name, and accordingly on the formal ballot Rev MT Plumb, whose services as secretary and treasurer have been of that rare and indispensable character, which made him cOnverSant with every detail of ArchdeasOnry needs, was chosen by an almost unanimous con- sent as the one we would present to the bishop as our choice for the high office of archdeacOn. It was not easy for our brother to make his little speech; perhaps he felt as he did when he preached his first sermon. But what he did say was the simplest as- surance that he would always be the same, rejoicing in doing those kind nesses to his fellow-clergy which long ago won him large room in their hearts and delighting in seeing the Church's blessed teaching going out like light into every nook and cranny of old Litchtield's rugged hills, Dr Seymour appointed Rev MesSrs Hum- phrey, Plumb and Gesner to draw up minute recording the sorrow felt by all at the retirement of Archdeacon George. We were glad to see that though officially retired he was not personally retired, for it was like old days to see his familiar face among us and to hear his voice, even though broken by pathos in which one and all shared,

not go to the shore, partly because the nights are cool enough for sleeping in town and partly because it is necessary to get the children into school. All the hotel men along the Sound shore are blue, generally speaking. They have been hoping for an improvement in the weather for so long, and it has so consistently failed them that they have given up hoping, at last. There has not been steady succession of any number of hot and fair days this season, and if the Fourth of July had not been a perfect summer day many of the Savin Rock people would have ''gone broke" from inability to meet their rentals.

While the proprietors of the hotels and summer places along the Sound are having light business, caused by the cloudy and rainy weather, the pop ular NeWtOWn Inn, under w. A. LeOn- ards management, is enjoying one of the best seasons 1t has had in years. The situat tiOn along the shore is we'll summed up in a recent article in The Register. It says: From canvass made of the shore resorts in the vicin- ity of this city, and from what can be learned from those on the southern shore of New England east of Con- necticut's salt water line, s'the cold
 summer of 19O2':' will go down into history as fiat failure as a money maker for the shore dinner places and hotels on the beaches. The reason for this is the almost constant cool wealth CT, and rain, added to the phenomenal ly high prices which are demanded by dealers for provisions of all sorts. The rain and the cold are the principal cause of the trouble, however. For more than a week past the weather has been so cool that crowds will not be tempted to Savin Rock, and this although we are within week of the month of August. It has been so cool this season that there has been an al- most total lack of the transient trade upon which the shore proprletors de- the proprietors of the shore-eating places, and the dispensers of cooling beverages at Savin Rock and elsewhere are on the verge of despair. The heat ed season is of course the time these people all look forward to with the ex- pectation of accommodating a bank account sufficient to live upon through 1 the winter when the summer hotels I are buried deep in snow banks. July and August are the months when it is the business of people with vacations, long or short, to help the shore pro
 prietors to accumulate the money pre-
 paratory to wearing diamonds neX1
 winter. But the vacation people will ] them tOdO so. And there's the rub 1 So far vacations have been taken more | as a matter of habit than from neces sity, and the man who has paid biz
 price for the rental of a cottage by thu
 seaside for the summer for his famil,

 he thinks of his dry and comfOrtabl icity home. So dull has been the season

Other Railroads Also in Better Con- dition to Attend to Business Promptly-Lttle Girl Badly Burned in Bessemer.

Birmingham, Nov. 2s.-(Special. .)-An- nouncement was made this morning that the railroads in this district will in the near future have cleared the congestion which has been complained of for some time now by the manufacturers and other corporations of this district The Louis ville and Nashville railroad officials an- nounce that they are now taking care of all the business starting on it's line
 According to official figures this system for the first nine months of the year handled GOA ,936 tons of pig iron, steel and cast iron pipe out of the total shipments from the Southern producing territory of l, ,452, $50 tons in that time.
 The Southern Railway, Central of Geor- gia and Frisco system are doing better now in supplying cars with which to handle the immense traffic in this dis trict. There are more than Sc, 900 tons of pig iron accumulated in this district because of the car shortage. The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company this morning gave out the statement that they had no less than 10000 tons on the yards in the neighborhood of Florence and Sheffield. It was stated that the pro- duction was something like thirty cars day and that the Southern Railway for a while was furnishing something like two cars a day
 The car shortage has given traffic mana gers of the larger corporations much trouble in the past few weeks, purchasers of the various products making big com plaint of the slow delivery of their stuff.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure
 Catarrh.

The popular idea that the only cure for
 chronic catarrh Is a change of climate, l is a mistake Because catarrh is found l ir all climates in all sections of the coun- try; and even if a change of climate should benefit for a time the catarrh will certainly return.
 Catarrh may be readily cured in any | climate, but the only way to do it is to l destroy or remove from the system the | catarrhal germs which cause all the mis- l chief.
 The treatment by inhalers, sprays, ] powders and washes has been proven al- I most useless in making a permanent cure, | as they do not reach the seat of disease
 which is in the blood and can be reached only by an internal remedy which acts l through the stomach upon the blood and | system generally.
 A new discovery which b meeting with remarkable success in cuNng catarrh of | the head throat and bronchial tubes and also catarrh of the stomach. Is sold by 1 druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets which are pleasant and
 harmless to take owe their efficiency to
 the active medicinal principles of Blood Root. Red Gum and new specific called Guaiacol, which together with valuable
 antiseptics are combined in convenient.
 palatable tablet form, and as valuable for children as for adults. Mir A. R. Fernbank of Columbus.
 Ohio, says: I suffered so many winters from Catarrh that I took it as a matter
 of course. and that nothing would cure 1t except a change of climate which my
 business affairs would not permet me to
 take.
 My nostrils were almost always clogged
 up: I had to breathe through the mouth causing an infamed. irritated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nause- ated me and the cata 'rh gradually get
 ting into my stomach took away my ap-
 petite and digestion.
 My druggist advised me to try q fifty cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be- cause he said he had so many customers who had been cured of Catarrh by the use of these tablets. that he felt he could honestly recommend them. took his advice and used several boxes with re- suits that surprised and delighted me-
 I always keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets ir the house and the whole family use them freely on the first appearance
 of a cough or cold in the head.
 With our children we think there is nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart s Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and
 colds and with older people l have known of cases here the hearing had been seri- ously impaired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new remedy. thu-sat-sun:
