SHORE DEFENSES.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Accordlng to
advices received at the War Department,
the shore defenses of Long Island Sound,
Newport, New London, and Narragansett
Bay have been put in such good condition
in anticipation of the coming maneuvres,

the Navy cooperated they would be alb
solutely impregnable to an attack of the

NO CATCHING Ar sTPAws.

Drowning men, they say, will
catch at stravs. Naturally
enough, because they see nothing
better TO catch at. it is tho
principle Of any port in a storm.
All the same the straw does not
save the drowning man, nor is
the tempcst-tosscd mariner likely
to find a safe harbOr every time
he runs for the shore. The scien-
tifcally constructed life preserver
is better than a straw, and to
know how to ride out q storm is
better than to trust to luck in
finding a port in time of need.
Just so it is in disease ana
all manner Of sickness. A ship
takes a pilot on the theory that
he knows the right channel
and can avoid the dangerout
places. And when your life il
threatened by disease you natur.
ally desire % mode Of treatment
founded on absolute knowledge
"a treatment that has proved
effective in other cases like your
own. This is the common-sense
of the subject and no one will
dispute it. And it is because
the well-known effective remedy
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never fails in the complaints for
which it is recommended, that it
enjoys the confidence of the
people and the medical profess
sion everywhere. The doctor
who prescribcs and the patient
who takes it are not catching at
straws, for it docs what it is
said to do on the same principle
that water pats ont u fire. 1t is
palataJlo as honey and contains
the nutritivc and curative prop
critics Of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with tho Compound
Syrup Of iIypophosphites, Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t quickly ar

ASKS SOME QUERIES
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE WOULD
LIKE THEM ANSWERED..
Does An Injunction Enjoin? Is Some
body Not i'm Contempt? Situation
Purely a Matter Of Law and Order.

81 am willing to be interviewed on the
anu-saloCn question at any time said
Theodore Richards this morning, but
| would like to be i'm sense the in
. terViewer. There are a number of APP
parenty plain questions which not only
myself but number of those connected
with this work, would like to get an
swered. The answers do not seem to be-
forthcoming Is readily as their simpli-
city would seem TO warrant.
First then, does an injunction en-
join Without going into the question OF
closing up any one beer saloon, it seems
to be that the present question is rather
one purely of law and order An in
junction is issued against a railroad
| company for example and work is
stopped Immediately. Another injunc-
ton is issued against an affair illegally
conducted and no one seems to take up
| the matter. 1t seems to myself and
many others that the prestige of the
court suffers in this matter. If the in
junction does enjoin surely the neglect
to carry out the spirit of the court
means that someone is in contempt un-
der all rules of law and order These
beer saloons have no right to sell the
locally and Illegally brewed beer. The
fact had been so acknowledged and an
order in authority issued. No action is
| taken and no one seems to care whe-
/ Their the authority is Obeyed. Surely
the district attorneys could close the
saloons if they wished. Then why UNI
der law and order do they not see the
injunction carried into effect
Again, has the territorial treasurer
a right to issue a franchise, the grant
ing of which is purely a legislative af-
fair. Is it the privilege of the office.
Why the delay in action unless there is
a mutual fOrbearance system estab-
lished and kept up for private purpose.
l know that in the qualifications of
business affairs here it is hard to get
any one to act against the illegal open
ing of the beer saloons. I have sold so
and so such and such a thing or L
hope to do So or i am mutually con-
nected with such and such a man in
such and such proposition But this
is an order of the courts issued ana
disObeyed and ignored. Why? 1t is not
a personal affair. The fight is i'm no
sense a personal one. 1t is a question
of law and order Law set aside and
order ignored without the representa-
tives of law and order moving i'm the
matter to save their prestige or carry
out their own rulings. We are going To
get the money together to make the
fight unless the injunction is withdrawn
1t is the easiest fight to win that one
can imagine. But these few questions
are ones that surely seem to demand
an answer that cannot be hard to give,
or should not be-
