WHAT is PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lIni-
ment. and while adapted to all the or
binary uses OF liniment. has qualities
which distinguish II from other rene
dies OF this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands OF cases can be cited in which
this remedy has effected cure when
the sufferer had previously tried the
best medical service, without securing
relief. Pain Balm is positively guaran-
teed to give relief in the most severe
cases OF chronic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns ard
scalds In less time than any other treat
ment 1t is "antiseptlc," that is, it
prevents putrefaction. and by so doing
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed.
For lame back. lumbago and neuralgia.
Pain Balm has no equal. 1t has the
quality OF getting TO the right spot"
No sufferer from these distressing af-
fections should defer a trial OF this
remedy. One application gives relief.

PLANS OF coNsTRucTfoN.

1t will be necessary to build a circu-
lar, masonry gateway for the outlet
pipe, and it should be of such size as
to allow man to enter, say four feet
inside diameter. Both the bullet and
the wash-out pipes should run through
solid ground, and be provided with
concrete collars, one to each length of
pipe, to prevent leakage along the
pipe. In building these concrete COL
lars. and also in making the cutoff
wall, the masonry should not be made
with smooth surfaces, but should be
left rough, with sharp projecting
points the more easily to make a
union between the masonry and the
earth filing. 1t will be found to ad-
vantage to make both the outlet and
washout pipes of large diameters say
80 inches-using, however. only one
36-inch gate. the one on the wnshout
pipe the other need only be 2i-mch
gate, placed on the 2i-inch pipe, after
joining the 36-inch portion.
The construction of this reservoir is
a big undertaking. and the expensive
method of moving earth by OK carts is
not to be thought OF. The earth should
be carried in cars, run on movable
track, so placed as to always allow a
down grade, and the best arrangement
would be separate tracks on either side
OF the creek bottom.

In the preparation OF the reservoir

square feet, which is to be filled level,
as a part OF the dam to an elevation
OF 96S. This Is to be the elevation of
the washout, and the outlet will be
$40, which Is an ample allowance for
sediment In connection with the

in the first place a most careful prep
aration for the foundation; besides the
general stripping from the surface OF
all vegetable matter. 1t Is necessary
after removing all loose and porous
material. to see that the ground Is
thoroughly prepared by rolling TO re-
ceive the first layer of filling Fol-
rolling down the material on dam
there is nothing better than series
of heavy car wheels Joined on one axle
! In the preparation Of the dam bottom
in the creek bed, it will be necessary tc
eXcaVate some twenty feet to reach
good foundation, and an outlet ditch
will have to be dug to serve as a drain
to this depth. Before this excavation
is begun, it will be best to lay the
washout pipe, so as to carry the main
stream away from the work. The per-
Torrance of this portion of the con-
struction requires such faithful work,
and is of necessity so uncertain, as
well as expensive. that I would strong
ly recommend that this portion OF the
work be done by the government itself.
In connection with 1t, It will be nee
essary to build concrete cutoff wall
in the center of the dam foundation.
If solid rock foundation can be found,
or If not sheet pling will have to be
resorted to.
BEST MATERIAL AT HAND.
1t is a matter for regret that good
clay is not to be found in this country,
but, perhaps, the material at hand is
as near to 1t as can be found here.
So, as 1t Is not possible to build a
puddle wall of the approved pattern,
by the absence OF clay and the expense
of sand, it must be seen to that the
foundation is good that the dam is
built up of regular horizontal layers. not
more than six inches deep thoroughly
and compactly rolled And in this con-
necton / would advise the keeping of
the dam in something OF a shape,
so as to retain the water that may
fall upon it, To carry out the attempt
to make a general puddle of the whole
dam, the ditch, in connection with the
Lulumahu water head, shohld be built
at the outset, and at least on Satur-
days, If not oftener, the stream should
be turned into the dish-shaped fill, and
the water allowed to settle upon 1t.
1t is usually considered bad practice
to disturb the bottom in reservoir
any more than is necessary to remove
the vegetable matter, In the reservoirs
already built in Nuuanu valley It was
necessary, to get any capacity, to take
the material for the fill from the
reservoir-but in this reservoir such is
not the case.
1t is difficult. however. To see how
the effect from excavating from the
interior OF the reservoir can more than
slightly alter the natural condition OF
the reservoir bottom where the dam
is across stream whose channel Is
some thirty feet deeb. made simply by
erosion. 1t would. in that case. seem
to anticipate any serious
results from making the excavation
from the interior of the reservoir-and
every cubic yard of excavation will
make just two hundred gallons capac-
lty.

AN ABUNDANCE OFF GOLD.

A few days ago we called attention
to g. statement published in the At
lanta Constitution that a couple of
men from Alabama had given it an
account of the finding of a great
placer deposit of gold in that state.
According to the story which appeared
in that paper the output of gold from
this new discovery would be some
thing enormous. AS we have heard
nothing further from this wonderful
discovery we are in doubt whether it
turned out to be as rich as 1T was
thought to be.
A day or two ago there was a state
ment in the dispatches from Colorado
that find had been made in one of
the mines in that state which was
greater than anything ever before
known. 1t was asserted that the mine
was far richer than the celebrated In
dependence mine. The statements in
the dispatch may have been correct,
but it is worthy of notice that the
newspapers do not seem to be saying
anything about this wonderful gold
mine. Perhaps it is not as wonderful
as it was represented to be.
In several of the New York papers
of Wednesdays issue there was an ac-
count of an invention by Edison for
extracting gold from the waste matter
at the great gold mines of the world,
particularly placer mines. In the ac-
count it is asserted that the output of
this invention will be many millions of
dollars year.
OF course Mr.. Edison has an inven-
ton for separating gold from sand
and gravel, and it is probable that his
claim that it will extract ninety eight
per cent. of the gold is well founded,
but it is doubtful if anybody believes
that the machine is going to yield to
it's inventor the many millions of dol
lars that it is asserted it will. All
this talk about the finding of new gold
mines and inventions that will yield
hundreds of millions of dollars an
nually is exaggerated. 1t has some
foundation, of course, but if it is dis
counted seventy to eighty per cent. it
will be nearer the truth.

THE ALABAMA SUFFRAGE CASE.


There has been considerable doubt
expressed as to what the Supreme
Court did decide in the suffrage case
| appealed to it from the United States
! Circuit Court of Alabama. 1t will be
recalled that a negro man of Mont
goanery began case in the Alabama
court on behalf of himself and 5000
other negroes in which he asserted
that under provision of the Alabama
constitution they had been denied the
right to vote, and that the denial was
based on their race and color. The
point he made was that the suffrage
clause of the constitution of Alabama
was a violation of the constitution of
the United States.
If we are not mistaken the Supreme
Court held that the question presented
was POLITICAL and that therefore the
remedy would have to be political. In
other words, the court told the COM
plainant that he would have to go to
Congress for the relief he sought.
VIII this matter be brought before
Congress? We have no doubt that an
effort will be made by Representative
Crumpacker, of Indiana, and other
representatives of his way Of thinking
in regard to negro suffrage, to have
the representation of the South in
Congress and the Electoral College re-
duced. He made such an effort in the
last Congress, and with this decision
,yf ha Cur Court 10 him
the probabilities are that he will make
it again in the present Congress.
There isn't much ground for think
ing however, that he will meet with
much, If any, success. A very great
change has taken place in Northern
sentiment in respect to negro suffrage
within the last few years. The inn
preston is quite strong in the North
now, and it appears to be growing
stronger. that a mistake was made
when the suffrage was given to the
negro; that he wasn't prepared for it,
and isn't prepared for it yet.
1t is stated in our Washington dis
patches that there are two reasons for
thinking there will be no legislation by
this Congress looking to reduction of
the representation of the South. One
is that Representative Cannon who
will be speaker has no sympathy with
those who wish to reduce the South's
representation. That being the case it
is in his power to hinder legislation of
that kind. The other is that the Pres
ident and the other Republican lead
ers do not want the negro suffrage
question stirred up during the presi-
dental campaign. They think that If
that question were brought into prom
inence it would cause their ticket to
lose a good many votes.
Both of these reasons seem to be
we'll founded. No doubt there are ne
gro leaders who will continue the eff
fort to find a way to have the ballot
restored to negroes in the states in
which they have been deprived of it,
but it is doubtful if the Supreme
Court will change it's position or if
this Congress will give the matter Sc

AUsrIN,s PROSPERITY FIGURES.

| The Republicans are singing the
song of prosperity. They believe that
as long as the country remains pros
porous their party will remain in pow
err. AS the year of the presidential
election approaches therefore they are
increasing their prosperity talk. If
there is anything in talk the country
will certainly continue prosperous I'M
til after the next President is elected.
The other day Mr.. o. P. Austin, chief
of the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department, sent out a
statement in which he said: IT have
been studying the statistics of our
commerce for twenty years, and I
have never known the time in which
they indicated greater prosperity,
greater activity in agriculture and
manufacturing, than at present There
is nothing in sight at the present time,
at home or abroad. which in my judg-
ment would warrant the most pessi-
mistic in anticipating adverse condi-
tons in our domestic or foreign trade"
We have no fault to find with this
out-giving. 1t is the hope of every one
who wishes the country well that
prosperity will continue. And we only
call attention to the foregoing from
Mr.. Austin to show how Justify the
Republicans are shouting about pros
perity because they hope it will be the
means of enabling them to hold on to
their jobs. They understand human
nature. They believe the people will
say, if the country is prosperous next
fall, that it is better to let well
enough alone.
OF course it is possible to adopt an
economic policy that would bring
about hard times, but as a rule the
periods of business prosperity and de-
preston come and go without much
reference to the policies of political
parties. The last period of depression
began with the failure of great
banking house in London, and it is not
improbable that If there should be a
great failure in New York the failure
of the United States Steel Corporation
for instance-a panic might ensue that
would result in business depression
throughout the entire country. 1t
takes very little to shake confidence
in the continuance of good times, and
when confidence is gone there are dull
times in the world of business

Charles ]. Bonaparte of Baltimore
has just received from Nortre Dame
University the Lazare medal for 1903,
says the Boston Post. Mr.. Bonaparte,
grandson of the one-time King of
Westphalia, is rich and phiIanthropic
lawyer.
He is Harvard man, one of the
class of II. At Cambridge he is still
remembered for his stories. For as a
youth he had a strange fondness for
humor of the incredible Munchausen
sort, and 1t was of this humor that mis-
stories partook.
One of them concerned a hoop snake.
There was a farmer" young Bona
parte would begin, who was out hoe
ing. He was hoeing at the foot of hill
All of a sudden he heard a noise, and
looking up, there was a hoop snake
rushing down on him like the wind. Its
tail was in its mouth, and in the form
of perfect circle the snake rolled
down the hill upon him.
1.-THE farmer was frightened, but he
put up good fight. He whacked the
snake with his hoe. 1t let go of its
tail then and made a bite at him, but
he warded off the bite with his hoe
handle. The fangs of the Infatuated
reptile sunk into the handle very deep
and the farmer, with a heavy rock,
killed the snake.
Then he took up the hoe and be-
gan to work. After a while he noticed
that the handle seemed thicker than
usual. He look at it. Actually II was
swelling. Yes, it was swelling ESQ pow
erful was the hoop snakes venom)
This hoe handle, before the afternoon
was over, had grown to the thickness
of the farmers leg"
