A MEDDLINd MAN.

Another learned man Is meddlins with the women folks" The Richmond Dispatch tells us- They've always been at t. Solomon was learned man and if he didn't meddle with 'em pretty ex- tensively history hasn't done him justice. and we might follow the course of time
 from earliest record history and would find that the most learned men of all ages have been more noted for "meddling
 with the women folks than the uniearn- ed have. It appears to be something of a favorite business with that class.
 This latest example is a London pro-
 lessor who is kicking about what he
 women, and one of the points he makes is that they wear buttons on their cloth- ing with no button holes for them to go in. He seems oblivious of the fact that mems coats have two buttons on the back where there has been no need of buttons for centuries, if there was ever need of them. He also fails to remem- Der that a mans coat has a row of but tons on each side. though but ono set is needed. When he complains of useless buttons he should include both men and women. Besides. why shouldn't the wo- men wear buttons all over their clothing. if they choose? Buttons are cheap. and the extra ones are not in the way. Be- sides, its none of a mans business. any way He would do better to get rid of some of his own shams before the at- tacks the sisters.

MAKING THE CASH FLY.
Congress May Reach Billion Dollar
 Mark This Session.

Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 Republican leaders are threatened with a "billion-dollar session. unless an early adjournment of Congress Is reached.
 In looking over the annual appropria- ton bills which have passed the House and Senate during the present session, 1t will he found that the appropriations al ready made aggregate about $72b0o.ooo; This does not include all of the general appropriation bills, for some of the lat ter have not vet been acted on by the Senate. and others are still in conference
 Some idea of additions yet to be made to the sessions budget may be drawn from the fact that the appropriation bills which have already passed the House carried. in round numbers. $SOOOOO.OoO. When the Senate additions were made to the extent of $22500O,0 900.
 All of the annual appropriation bills have passed the House, with the excep- ton of the naval bill, now under consid- eration. and the general deficiency blll. carries about $75, 900. and the latter about SIC, 100000 In the Senate four of the appropriation bills are yet to be acted on and several are in conference
 A few years ago the party in power was seriously troubled with the charge of bringing on "a billion-dollar Congress" which Included two or more sessions Now the prospect that the appropriations for the present session ma foot up Sl, l,OO0.- 00G 000 fills the administration leaders with alarm and makes them anxious to bring about an adjournment as soon as possible. A distinguished Republican Senator. who is directly interested in the consideration of the appropriation hills, expressed great surprise when informed to what extent the treasury Is beir- drawn upon by this Congress.
 'It will be disastrous from party point of view, If we have to go before the country at the fall elections with record of having expended s1 ,000. .0000 900 during a siuele secsion of Congress. We have been condemned before for appropriating $1,0OO. 00G GRO during two sessions, and our Demo- cratic opponents will not be slow to take advantage of fixing upon us the responsi- biltv for making such an unprecedented raid uuon the treasury at one session. We have been very generous in our eXpendi- lures both at home and abroad, and some of the approximations are undoubtedly open to criticism Unless we put the brake on at once and shut down on the outflow of money from the treasury we will find ourselves confronted by deficit instead of an increasing surplus in the treasury"

PLANS A SPECIAL SESSION. ::
Roosevelt Wants Trusts and Tariff
 Considered in 1903. s-e

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle.
 If the ,fifty-eighth Congress. to be elect ed next November. should be Republican a special session, will be called shortly af- ter March 1. 1903. to consider trusts ana tariff revision.
 Several times lately the President has announced tentatively his purpose to call a special session but recent events have emphasized the need for 1t, and to svisi- tors at the White House this week he has made a rather definite announce ment of his intentions
 By next March the governments prose- cution of the trusts will have gone far enough to test the efficacy of existing laws and point the way to new legisla- ton which may be needed. It will be the Presidents plan to make trusts and tar fir revision prominent in the 1904 cam paign by making each dovetail into the other at the special session.
 Should the ffty-eighth Congress be Democratic, however, it is the plan to have the Republican party bide It's time and take the questions up after the pres idential election, making statements on the stump this year of its intentions.
 Tariff revision cannot be brought up at this session nor will there be time for 1t at the short session next winter. It would be unwise, in memory Of what happeneu to the Republican party in 1892 when the Mckinley law was enacted. to revise the tariff on the eve of the presidential cam. paign, and so a special session next spring and summer is all that remains.
 The President sees this. and his purpose has the indorsement of nearly every Wes- tern and Middle West Republican Sena- tor and Representative. It is indorsed by Senator Aldrich and other high-tarin leaders from New England. but events are shaping themselves in way to show that these men cannot be folloWed safely in the present emergency.

The resolutions adopted by the Louis vile Board of Trade in opposition to enactment by Congress of a bill to greatly enlarge the power of the Interstate Com fnerce Commission are timely. and on che right line. The great combinations by a few men in New York for gobbling up railroads. and everything else in sight, no doubt inspired the promoters of the pro- posed legislation. There is. however. no safety in transferring power from a set of men in New York to another set in Washington. The proper thing to do is the enactment of law that can be en- forced, and the election of men who will enforce it. making 1t criminal to form combinations which are evidently in restraint of trade. which are against public interests and public morals. and which tend to the undoing of many thou sands of citizens in every part of the Union.

THE SOUTHERN EDUCATION HOARD

Elsewhere in our issue for today will bc found the announcement that the Hon Joseph B. Graham of Talladega has ac- tcepted position as the State represen- ftative of the Southern Education Board in Alabama.
 This announcement is justly an occasion Of congratuiation. not only to the Board. ' but to the people of the State. Mr> Graham has been conspicuously jdenti- fled for years with the cause of popular education. As the chairman of the Committee on Education in the recent Constitutional Convention, his vigorous and sagacious leadership. his signal abili- ties. and his frank and courteous bearing toward all his associates in debate ad. vanced him still further in theesteem and !, confidence of the people of Alabama
 Upon the other hand. MT. Graham is to . be congratulated upon the unsolicited possession of a great opportunity. In North Carolina. in Virginia, in Tennessee, in Eouisiana--in all the States of the South in which the Southern Education Board has undertaken active work, the organization has had the emphatic en- dorsement not only of the chief executive but of the people. This has been due to the wise and generous fidelity with which the Board has served the interests of the South. It has won confidence by deserving it. It has won appreciation not only bys its professions. but its actions. It has not attempted the realization of alien and unsympathetic theories. Placing its work in the hands of Southern men-men of commanding earnestness in their devotion to the South--it has worked everywhere in sin- cere and cordial conformity with South ern interests and Southern ideals.
 Its chief interest is in the development of our public schools-especially the public schools of our rural communities. Its policy is not interference, but co-opera- ton. The Board is free from all en- tangiements whether ecclesiastical ar political. The motive of it's work in this State. according to the standpoint of the reader. may be called patriotic or educa- tionai or religious. but we believe this motive may be described very compre- hensively and very briefly in one simple phrase-"The Children of Alabama
 So noble a work. under the guidance of resourceful and trusted leadership, will receive the grateful confidence of our peo- pie. The Advertiser believes that the people of Alabama are to be congratu- lated upon its active inauguration in this State. and we wish for AIr. Graham and for the Board he represents an abundant measure of success.

Immigration to the South.

Thorsby Enterprise
 In a recent issue of The Montgomery Advertiser appears an interesting letter from Hon. J. A. Westerlund on the sub ject of immigration to the South. and the letter is commented upon and supple mented by an able and timely editorial in the same issue. W eheartily endorse the sentiments therein expressed. We have repeatedly said, both In public and private about the same thing. and we hope this subject will not be dropped by the press throughout the State. but discussed in all It's bearings before the next Legislature meets and then insist that something be done by the State to- wards encouraging immigration. The good State of Alabama should have a Bureau of Immigration. and a liberal appropria- ton should be made for the maintenance of this bureau to enable it to properly advertise the resources of our Stafe to the intending homeseekers. Go where you may up North-in the hotel lobbies, on the news stands, in the newspapers and above all in every office where railroad tickets are sold. you will find alluring advertisements. attractive circulars and pamphlets for free distribution setting forth the advantages and beauties of the different Western States, and this. cou- pied with the cheap rates offered by the railroads. brings the tide Of emigra-

A FISH DIET.

A contemporary argues that q more
 general use of fish in place of meat would be the proper thing to get around
 the trusts. and the argument would be good. but for one or two drawbacks It is true that the various species of fishes
 form the most plentiful and widely dis tributed diet known to man. In the tropics and in the arctics. as well as In the temperate aones of the earth some varieties are to be found. They swarm in countless numbers and endless varieties. The waters of the ocean are
 alive with them. They do not need to
 be planted. fed. watched or herded. They need no fences, no attendants and no feeding. Wherever there Is water. salt or
 fresh. they abound. They can be trans planted and acclimated to new places and different environments, if desired. but the natural soppiy b almost without limit They feed and take care of themselves. come and. 70 without human attention or interference. and are to be had for the trouble of taking
 These varied and manifold advantages ought to solve the fish diet question. 1t may be thought. but there are draw
 backs. as we have intimated. A great
 many people do not like Ash. but this difiiculty might be overcomes There are
 many who cannot and will not eat saited
 or preserved fish on any terms. But
 the great obstacle to . more universal
 adoption of a Ash diet lies in the fact
 that the salt water species, which are
 most plentifuL and which should be cheapest. cannot be distributed through out the country. Away from the sea ports a good salt water fish can hardly be obtained fresh. and they are little. If any cheaper. than meat. They can be shipped in ice wherever the railroads go. but when the customer gets them they frequently lack a great deal of being The dealer may take all the pains and precautions possible. but a fish which has lain several days in cold storage is not the same thing that 1t was when first taken from the water.
 Aside from this is the fact that such 6 ldE8S pcE CcHtd6S VI out PoRhideioh ANS
 away from the railroads and navigable
 waters and are consequently unable to
 get the fish that are shipped to those
 more fortunately situated. The obvious
 remedy would seem to be in the direction
 of fish breeding. Wherever there Is lake, pond or a stream they can be
 bred with little cost and little attention.
 To stock the water in the first place, and
 to see that the water Is suitable, and that it does not become over-stocked by neglecting to keep them thinned out are the necessary steps and none of them is impossible or very difficult wherever there Is supply of water which can be kept fresh and comparatively pure. They increase and multiply at a wonderful rate. and but little care. expense or at tention would be needed to enable any man who has running water on his place ot provide plentiful supply at all sea- sons. It is not bad method of provid- ing against such conditions as now obtain. H

BOON IN COOL Roons.
Living Apartments cheaply Kept at

 Living Apartments Cheaply Kept at 72 in Hottest Weather.
 From Washington to Chicago Record
 The possibility of keeping living rooms at a-temperature of 70 to 72 degrees in the hottest weather. which means practi- cally an end to summer suffering rom heat. is held out by Professor Willis L Moore. Chief of the Weather Bureau. who what he calls a gravity air-cooling. dry and purifying machine. The new appa- ratus .fs the result of several years or study and experiment. Professor Moore believes the invention to be of immense scientific and practical value. The cost of the machine will be so small that 1t will be within the reach of nearly all. go that the horrors of sweltering In stuny promises to be materially lessened. Pro- lessor Moore said today;
 ''T believe. that my machine solves the problem of a cheap. harmless and auto matically working apparatus for cooling m g manipulate 1t; 1t can be removed from room to rom; 1t Is absolutely safe and, above all, can be constructed so cheaply that 1t will be within the means of prae- tically everyone to obtain. ~
 Tt is specially adapted for use in. cool ing dwelling houses. hospitals and any place of habitation. am thoroughly sat isffed that 1t will not be five years before this machine or one of a similar type will be in practically every place of amusement, in every hotel and hospital and in every house that will then have what is called modern Improvements. It will be a great Doon in sleeping apart ments during the hot nights of summer. The device Is such that it can be auto matically regulated. and there will be no trouble in keeping a room at tempera- ture of between 70 and P. no matter how hot it may be under normal conditions.
 "A room can be maintained at tenn perature of 72 in the hottest weather and with humidity at the highest point. Chem icals are used in combination with pipes that bring in air from the outsde. I have worked on this scheme for the last .afee years. and have examined over 300 patents relating to the subject Of ma chimes for cooling rooms. None of those for which patents have been taken out have ever been Introduced into general use, except for refrigerating plants. which require expensive machinery to work
 On top of. one of the buildings of the weather bureau Professor Moore has butt a "cool house." in which he expects to attend to his office work during the heat cd period. The temperature of this house will be anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees lower than pn the outside. The scheme is based on a system of evaporation. Pro lessor Moore says that the apparatus will be especially adapted for the great arid and subarid regions of the West. where there Is great humidity in the air and wonderful efficiency in evaporation.
