Why thenCzHr Sighted Rome.
the Iondos fanSafater.

From the IondoR lRDfetater.
Italy is greaa{M yexed The car had
arranged to Tisit the King of Italy this
week. and Rom sumde ready for a festival
and a grand reception. On Monday. how
ever telegrarts &asre received announcing
that the visit, Was postponed sine die, and
on Tuesday this rwas confirmed in a pri-
vate letter to thecAng. The Russian chief
OF police, it appears, had been sent to
Rome to MAKE inauiries. and had reported
that the Italian anarchists were in move
ment. and that deven if the cars life was
not in danger, ebwould not be safe from
insult. The Romans on are greatly aggrieved
and accuse the Russian Emperor of want
of nerve; but it seems to be true that the
socialists had agreed to- receive the visitor
with chorus of the whistiings which all
over the continent are equivalent to hisses
and a sovereign can hardly be blamed for
avoiding a capital which threatens to be
discourteous. 1t Is believed that the incl
dent will for time produce tension" be-
tween the courts of st. Petersburg and
Rome, and 1t Is for one reason, at least
greatly to be regretted. 1t encourages the
anarchists with the idea that il they can
not kill kings, they. can frighten them. and
restrict their freedom Of locomotion.

Danger Gives Amusement.
From the London World.

FROM the LOndon World
1t would seem as If no amusements
wherein some element Of danger does not
enter are ever thoroughly enjoyed We
English folk may take our pleasures sadly
in the bulk. but when they are of an out
door nature there is no doubt whatever that
they cannot be too exciting too danger
Gus to please rs. 1t is just because motor
ing is full of the possibilities of mIshaps
that 1t has become so enormously popular
especially with women. who are ever most
ready to face death in pursuit of pleasure
despite the fact that they are always de-
scrbed as bundles of nerves. Alpine guides
declare that women quite as Intrepid
as men when dangerous peaks are to be
climbed; and when every one cycled it was
invariably the girls of a party who rode
the fastest risked the worst hills and
braved the thickest traffic. While the pluck
of English women Is to be admired by flood
and field, it is always just as well to keep
before them the fact that the lives of
others are sometimes placed in jeopardy by
this very intrepidity. Foolhardy expedi.
tions, reckless driving and riding. careless
ness on the river and general disregard of
danger signals and the advice of those who
know. too often mean not only personal
risk and accident, but danger and maybe
death to others.

Heart Disease and Foot Ball.
From the New York Herald


So many accidents have been laid to the
game Of foot ball and SO many lads have
been crippled thereby that we seldom hear
of the injuries and deaths that might have
been avoided. The death of a young medi-
cal student of Baltimore during a contest
but at a time when the ball was not in
play. affords a striking instance of an east
ly preventible accident.
The victim had been a sufferer from heart
disease for a long time and yet was all
lowed to take active part In the game His
condition should have been. if it was not
known to his medical associates.
There is no account of his having re-
ceived any injury previous to the time he
was stricken with collapse. No better proof
of his unfitness for any extra physical ex-
ertion can be given than the suddenness of
his death while he was merely resting. The
lesson of the sad story is emphatic and con-
vincing.
There is no game that requires more care
full and systematic training than foot ball
and only the strongest are capable of bear
ing the strain If there Is any physical
weakness in the candidate it becomes gu ck-
ly manifest as he goes on with his exercises
and why such incapacfty could not have
been discovered in time to have saved the
unfortunate youth is difficult to imagine

Disease-Laden Sleeping Cars.

The filthy and disease-laden sleeping car
has been duly scored by the American
Health Association. At the meeting IN
Washington the subject was very thor
oughly discussed from a sanitary stand
point Although the facts regarding the
culpable uncleanliness of berths are ad-
mitted by the public, their rehearsal from
time to time helps to emphasize the ne
cessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always ready
with excuses against lettering conditions
Their business is to avoid trouble ana
save expense The casual traveller may
grow as much as he chooses, but is oftener
contented to submit to an infiiction rather
than suffer the humiliation of a frutless
appeal to authority.
No one needs be told that the ordinary
heavy curtained and iH-ventilated night
car is a veritable propagator of infectious
diseases. What better could be expected
when the nightly used blankets. as claim ed
by one speaker, are cleansed but once in
six months?
And, pray. what power exists to call Of
ficials to account? What is the real guar
antee for the sleeper that he Is absolutely
safe from the germs left for him from the
previous customer? The only remedy rests
in the ordinary honesty of the common
carrier.
One of the railroad experts rather plausi-
bly, claimed that il was not fair to require
sanitary purposes until they knew where
they stood AS if in truth. there were any
doubts concerning the efficacy of absolute
cleanliness, perfect ventilation and thor
ough disinfection-all easy enough of ap-
plication when there Is a will for the way,

MANUFACTURE OF COTTON.
The South is Slow in Turning Out
Finer Grades of Goods.
From the Houston Post.


The rapid growth of cotton manufacturing
in the south has become a source of fire.
quent comment concluding mostly with the
remark that while we are doing much and
doing well in this particular we should do
more and do better. In other words, intel
Hgent observers of the souths progress in
the turning of the staple into merchants BILE
fabrics are struck with the fact that as yet
but few attempts have been made to pro-
duce cotton goods of the finer grades by
southern promoters of cotton manufactur-
ing plants
Two-thirds of the souths crop OF cotton
finds its way abroad, absorbed il is by
nations that have learned to convert a
pound of raw material worth 10 cents into a
pound of finished goods worth fifteen times
that amount and over. France, for in
stance, makes high-priced lace out of the
product of cotton field. while we are
combining ourselves to the production or
cheap, coarse fabrics. Other nations have
acquired the knack of transforming IT into
expensive underwear and hosiery for our
consumption, whereas we are tagging be-
hind, apparently without ambition. To cover
the most profitable ground in the cotton
manufacturing field.
1t may be objected that the south is not
as yet prepared to compete in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods of the highest grade;
that it must feel it's way to the top OF the
ladder of production in this particular. Ad-
mitting, for the sake of argument that
there is something in this, there is no good
reason for not making few steps into the
domain of finer manufacture as begin
ming. No one will seriously contend that
the south Is not ultima tely destined to work
I'D the bulk of it's raw cotton. Why, then.
should there be further delay in the promo
ton of industry in its higher branches?

Danger in Celluloid.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The danger in the use of ceIluloid articles
is greatly increased. The original patent
having expired, a vast number of imitation
processes have sprung up. and the public
are flooded with combs made from guncotton
compounds by methods which render them
more dangerous than those prepared under
the original patent. That some restriction
should be placed on its indiscriminate use
was proved by the recent case of a girl,
twenty years of age, who was suffering
from cullulitis of the scalp, accompanied
by a marked degree of nervous shock. 1t
appeared that her head had been set on
FIRE by the sudden combustion of a comb
which she wore in her hair. Cooking her
fathers dinner one Sunday, she happened
to bend down before the fire, when the
comb suddenly ignited and she became
yeloped in flames. Her life was only spared
through the presence of mind of her father.

Alma Chester, Next Week.

One of the most popular companies that
has ever appeared in Augusta is the
Alma Chester Company which will open
a five nights engagement at the Opera
house, next Tuesday evening, with daily
matinees, commencing Wednesday. The
opening play will be famous English
melodrama, entitled From Scotland
Yards" which is a very interesting play
and one not of the ordinary type of melo-
drama. The Chester Company, this sea-
son, is stronger than ever and has made
a big impression on the New England
circuit Every play is staged in most
elaborate manner and the costuming is
very elegant Every piece put on by this
company is controlled exclusively by them

A Fifty-Foot Calendar.

N. w. Aver & Son, the Philadelphia
advertising agents, who have national
reputation for keeping everlastingly at
it, believe in sticking to a good thing
when they have one. For instance, their
calendar for 1903 follows the design used
for several years past, but with new
colorings. And in truth it would be hard
to improve upon their design; the dates
are plainly readable at fifty feet yet the
calandar is not unpleasantly conspicuous
It is artistic, simple and useful and it is
not surprising that it has become so pop
ular an adjunct to business offices that
the supply never equals the demand.
While they last one will be mailed to
any address for Is cents, which barely
covers cost and postage.
