SILENT COUPLE PART.
Death Puts a Period to a Silence
 of Thirty Years.

Death Puts a Period to a Silence
 of Thirty Years.
 Old John Stewart has buried his faith full wife, I<etsy, to whom he had not spoken for almost thirty years, and now he sees the folly of the course of silence he and his better half followed so long, says a special from Newport, N. J., to The Philadelphia Press.
 Now that Betsy has gone l am ready to follow her." he said today. Our mar ried life may not have been of the pleas antest, but We each had our ideas and followed them as we thought was best.
 Nobody could have changed our opin- ions and talking would only have brought about argument, so we went along in the silent way.
 II always prized Betsy as a good faith full wife, and now mat she is in the grave I realize too fully how dear she really was to me. I have many regrets
 There is some solace for me, though. for during the past five months we nao depended more than ever one upon the other and the remembrance of what she did for me and l for her in that period Is sweet indeed. She was S3 and l am "A Betsy is gone and I am ready to tol- low her" the prospective joy of joining his wife in the hereafter. for he still holds 10 ms agnostic views and believes that when man dies that is the last of hlm.
 When some of his neighbors requested that he have services over the body Of his wife, he objected but after long argument permitted Rev. J. H. Hieleman, of the Methodist Church 10 say few words. but told him just how far he could go. ,.,., e,.o,,,,u. his wife Betsy. came to this country from Ireland and settled at Matawan' N. J., tbeo Middleton Point. John was a teach CT in the national schools of the old coun- trv and was quite a scholar.
 Shortly after their marriage Betsy was converted and joined the Methodist Church. and there was never a day too cold or stormy to keep her from her ac- customed place of worship.

While the new Constitution is not looked on as an issue in the present campaign there is no doubt that it is indirectly one of the important ones. Johnston has been unfriendly to it all along, and we have no evidence that he mas experienced any change of heart on the subject. If he has influence enough to get himself elected Governor he will not hesitate to go about getting such changes made as will be in accord with his feelings. If there was not another reason against nominating him the fact that he is an enemy to the Constitution should condemn him. The friends of that instrument should be the first officials called on to enforce it.

reader of agnostic and liberal literature. Their opposite views on religion soon brought dissension in the household until by tacit consent they ceased to speak to
 For nearly thirty years their medium of transmitting their wants or desires one from the other was by means of a cat. When John wanted anything he would say, Pussy, tell Betsy" etc, and if would address her remarks to the cat
 When one cat died another took it's nlace. and so that medium of communi- cation was maintained: They never part house.
 During all the years of silence Betsy did the housework and helped her hus- band in the field. never complaining as to the manner of life she was living, but always praying that he might see the light.

MT. Cullom's Threat.

Chicago Chronicle.
 MT. Cullom announces that he is as much opposed to "tariff-tnkering" as anybody. yet he sees that a number Of the Dingley schedules can be cut down without the slightest injury to any in- dustry" He is not specific but we may suppose that he refers to those schedules that cover articles which are sold large ly abroad in open competition. !
 The Protective Ttariff League. which has long dictated the tariff policy of the Republican Party, has served notice that the Dingley schedules must not be cut either by treaty or by legislation,

FOREIGN NATIONS WATCHING.
Expect War Game to Reveal the
 Weaknesses in Our Coast Forts.

Washington Special to N. Y. World
 How to prevent the representatives of foreign Governments frCm learning too much about our coast defenses Is the problem that confronts the officers ar- understood that plans have been made by foreign naval experts now here to get full reports of all the weaknesses devel- ope1 in the ships and Notifications. The only possible remedy will be a policy of absolute secrecy, but that in large meas ure would defeat the very purpose of the manoeuvres-to show Congress what is needed to put both branches of the service on good war footing.
 The officers in charge of the great coast guns think they ought to have more men and more money for practice. At present there Is only money enough for the firing each of the great guns five times year.

Just What the Trusts Want.

LOUlSNlIIe COUT!Cr-J OurnaI.
 Much has been said of conferring on the Federal Government the exclusive right to regulate trusts Having been un- faithful over comparatively few things, the Federal Government is to be made supreme over many things. This is just what the trusts desire. Having con- trol of Congress- they desire to be re- lieved of interference from the State Leg islatures. Such a measure would cheapen their control of politics and lessen the necessity of direct and indirect bribery. Hence they regard it as great moral and economical idea

Just for the Fun of It.

AnuaIusla FeOpIe Gazette.
 If Alabama editors are liars. as Billy says, it seems to us that all but feeble few are at present telling the truth just for fun" Otherwise they would be found showing CD the dear people" what an excellent Governor Joseph was and how necessary it is for the dear people, to put him in the Governors office for a third term. Yes. if Billy is right it seems to us that the editors are telling the truth this time just for fun" Don't it seem that way to YOu?

PAPAGO INDIANS.
At Work on the Tombstone Extension
 of the E. 2. C s. w. R. R.

Quite a number of Papago Indians from the reservation near Tucson are at work on the railroad grade of Le Tombstone railorad. Today an addi- tional force of between 35 and 40 ar rived at Fairbank from Tucson to be transferred here to work on the grade The Indians came on a special car and probably travelled faster than tAey ever had occasion to ride before. The seeming hurry of the swarthy sons of Arizona to get to their destination is not due entirely to the efforts of the contractors to finish the work here on short notice, but is probably ac- eountable to the fact that it suited the convenience of the s. P. company and is explained in the circumstances that the east bound train was over two hours late out of Tucson aud the big engines were crowding on steam to make up the time.

AboutTu bercuIosis.

The solons of the state, discussing the
bill before the legislature to establish a
state sanitarium where consumption can
be properly and scientifically treated,
gave out some facts that will be new to
many who have not given the subject
much thought. Experts gave their
opinions and evidence. eEE
Dr.. Hawley stated in opening that
tuberculosis is durable, and we may ex-
pect to see decrease of this disease, in
the future. lie advocated the establish
ment of state sanitarium for the treat
ment of tuberculosis.
DR.. j. Edward Stubbert, professor of
pulmonary diseases in the New York
Post Graduate Medical School and hospi-
tai in New York spoke on slow Con-
sumption May Be Prevented and Cured"
DR.. 'Stubbert said consumption can be
cured If properly treated before. the pa
tient has gone too far. He believed
that lung disease is preventable and is
durable in its first and second stages.
Other remarks were to the same effect,
the preponderance of opinion being that
protection to the public required the
establishment of state Institution,
where persons who cannot afford to pay
should be treated at the expense of the
general public.
