SOME ADVICE FOR T HE
INSOMNIAC.

Sleep is the restoration of life-call
it, if yoa please, the governor of the
engine.
With the right sleep, and enough of
it, the body comes up to its work
every morning new born.
But this is not so if the sleep has
not been sound and steady. Follow
these rules if you would have sound
and restful sleep:
Do not work the brain for six hours
before you go to bed.
Business women are apt to violate
tl., lu!e. They think they must give
daylight to their employers and then
spend their evening in memoranda
and calculations about their own per-
sonal affairs.
All this is wrong.
You may get out of bed as early as
you please and work your brain then.
But you are safest, if after in the
afternoon, you give it no hard work at
all.
Do not work this poor old brain,
which has stood by you so Loyalty
since you got out Of bed in the morn
ing, until late at night.
Remember what your bed is for and
why you are in it.
You are there to sleep, not to add
up figures in your head. Not to lay
plans for tomorrow.
fyou have been working the poor
old brain too late, or if you have been
eating Welsh rarebit just before un-
dressing, and if your head burns so
that it almost sets the pillow on fire,
crawl out of bed and sponge your head
with cold water If this fails; bathe
your feet in as hot water as they will
bear
You want to draw away the extra
blood from the brain.
In natural sleep there is less blood
on your brain than when you are
awake.
The true meaning Of fashion is that
we adopt others follies' as our own.

TIL f. EAMERICANG GIRL OF THE
FUTURE.

The women who are most valiant
ly anxious to get their rights seem to
forget one thing. They forget that
the party of the first rart-by. that I
mean our brother-s today right
where he was in the beginning. He
has the same number of advantages he
always had. The woman of today has
all these and about 1853 more, and yet
her shoulders are no broader and her
back no stronger than it ever was.
The girl OF the future will be obliged
to choose between her present privi-
leges and her rights. If this evolu-
tion continues l should advise young
girl who asked me what to choose to
hang ON to her privileges and let her
rights go.
1fyou cannot in this generation get
your vote, you always can get your
voter. Women have always influence
ed man, and don't see but what that's
just as good. There is some danger
Of women getting what our brothers
call the "big-head." Ifthc young girl
isn't careful her brother may turn like
the worm. Whatever we do we should
leave him two things. One of these
is the conviction that he knows and
can do more than we can Gas, for in
stance, looking up our trains for us,)
and we should leave him his bank
book. He may give US everything,
else, including his latchkey.
l think there is great deal of un-
necessary twaddle these days about
the increasing strenuousness of the
young girl. l don't think she has
changed so much. l don't think much
of these little fads of the modern girl
and modern woman, such as physi-
cal culture, or vegetarianism, or Greek
grammar, to which she must devote
at least morning a week. She has
no more mind. She may use her mind
a little differently, but it's the same
old mind, the same energy that she
uses.
There are two things which women
must alway have had since the crea-
tion to be successful, and those two
things are the same in the far off is
lands of the Pacific and in the high
high school in Massachusetts. A wo-
man to he successful must be good and
she must be charming. You may
think of her charm as her parliamen-
tary ability, her oratorical power or
her excellent canning of peaches, but
she has got to have it. And if she is
not good the world can't progress.
There may be something interesting
in the bad woman but she can't per-
petuate nations, and after all that was
the main purpose of our creation;' l
think. If a woman is good and moth.
thing else, she will be as dull as any.
thing the world ever made, but if she
can be good and charming her heri-
tage and posterity can ask absolutely
nothing better.

"The first family and its relations

are badly or indifferently put on; but
tons are missing, tears are frequent;
several loose pins hold the hair in

sentences loosely constructed, and the
thoughts strung together. No use to
inquire into her character; the thought

shine with constant brushing buttons
and fasteners are abundant; and yet
there is stiffness, oftentimes amount
ing to hardness, in these demure sis

dresses their work is narrow. They
do not como enough out of their shells
to show their nature.

perhaps, in kindness. Their clothes
are genial and friendly; if stylish they

Old Letter Telling of Visit to
Gen. Lafayette.

Mrs. Gouverneur, of Washington,
wife of President Monroe's grandson,
has been associated with the reprosen-
tative people Of four generations, and
has rich fund OF unchronicled infor-
nation about noted persons. The
movement for removing the remains
of President Monroe's wife and daugh-
ter from Il neglected Maryland burying
ground and placing them beside him
in Holly wood Cemetery. near Rich
mond, was originated by her. The
prominence into which it has brought
her has incidentally been the occasion
Of bringing to the surface of many de-
lightful "reminiscences about other
persons.
Among the friendships which Mrs.
Gouverneur cherishes is that with Gen.
and Mrs. Winfield Scott. OF the
former she says: 81 saw him when he

of the war of 1912 that he married the
beautiful, brilliant Maria Mayo, Of

period, and the daughter of Col. John
May o, the enterprising protector of the
bridge crossing the lower James at a
point deemed impossible from the
depth and violence of the stream. COL
Mayo's wife, Miss De Harte, of Eliz-
abeth, N. j., was so distinguished for
her personal loveliness and mental
qualities that she was said to possess
''the beauty of Venus, the dignity Of
Juno, and the wisdom Of Minerva"
Many acts of benevolence marked her
life in Richmond, and it was through
her instrumrntality and desire to assist
an unfortunate friend that Miss Hack

of the most accomplished women Of
the South were educated, was estab-
tablished in that city in 1912.

No News Reaches Washington From
 BogOta.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Pan- anna canal treaty is dead. The time limit expired at, midnight in which the Colombian congress might take affirm ative action upon it. Nothing has been received either from Minister Beaupre at Bogota or from MT. Her. ran, the Colombian charge here, re- garding the matter.
 A report is current here that the O. lombian congress in secret session has clothed President Marroquin with full power to negotiate treaty. If this re- port should turn out to be true Presi- dent Marroquin, who is counted a friend of the treaty, could proceed un- trammeled by the fear of future reck- oning with his congress.
 Contrary to his custom during the summer Acting Secretary Adee of the state department remained in the city last night in order to be on hand to act promptly on any information which might come from MT. Beaupre regard ing canal matters at Bogota. Dr. Her ran, the Colombian charge, also waited anxiously for news from his govern ment, but both were disappointed.
 Colombia, it is known, is anxious to keep alive the canal negotiations. What form her new proposition with that ob- ject in view will take is not known in Washington. .
 Tn any event President Roosevelt must now take the next step. He can elect to proceed under the Spooner act and take up the Nicaragua route or he can allow matters to drift for the pres ent in the hope that way may yet be found to straighten out the present diff faculties in the path of the Panama route ..-..

He Promises Cubans That Their
 Services Shall Be Rewarded.
 SANTIAGO, Cuba, Sept. 23.-Two thousand veterans paraded here in honor of President Palma's visit and presented paper to the president con taining assurances that they would ac- cept the governments plan for the pay ment of the revolutionary soldiers and declaring that they would never revolt, but would seek what they wanted in congress.
 President Palma replied that he also was a veteran and knew that the vet erans stood for the honor of the coun- try. He reiterated the assurance that If the plan of an exterior loan failed payment of the soldiers would be made by an interior debt. He promised that public Improvements would shortly be begun in Santiago province and that only Cubans would be employed on them.
 Senor Portuondo, the speaker of the house of representatives and the leader of the Nationalist branch in Santiago, indorsed the presidents remarks and explained that an alternative in the case of failure of the loan would be the issuance of certificates for future payments, bearing the same interest as the exterior loan.

LETT FOUND GUILTY
Death Sentence For Notorious
 Kentucky Man Killer.
SAID TO HAVE SLAIN FORTY MEN
Convicted oR Killing Judge Marcum and Sentenced For Ltfe-He Now Gets Death Penalty For
 an Earlier Murder.

an Earlier Murder.
 CYNTHIANA, Ky, Sept. 23.-After a trial lasting eight days the jury in the case of Curtis Jett, charged with the murder of Town Marshal James Cockrill at Jackson, Ky, July 21, 1902, last evening rendered a verdict of guilty and fixed the punishment at death.
 When the jury entered the court room after agreeing on a.verdict quiet reigned for a few moments. Jetts mother had gone away earlier under the impression that no verdict would be reached. The reading of the yer dict did not affect Jett, but his brother was very much distressed. Elijah Nc Kinney served as foreman of the jury, and, after the delivering of the verdict to the court the jury was boiled.
 The death sentence was then read to Jett, by Clerk T. J. Robinson, after which Jett was given over to the cus- tody of the deputy sheriffs. Colonel Blanton, Jatt's lawyer, will file a mo- tion for new trial, and if the motion is overruled he will appeal the case to the court of appeals at Frankfort.
 This has been the second trial of Cur tis lett on the charge of murder. In the first trial for the murder of J. B. Marcum Jett and Thomas White were sentenced to life imprisonment.
 Jett, who is said to have slain forty men, was accused in the present case of the assassination of his own cousin, James Cockrill, on May 4, 1903, in Jackson. The trial was pressed after Jett had escaped the gallows on his second trial for the murder of Judge J. B. Marcum.
 The Cockrill murder grew out of a feud started in 1852 over the marriage of Miss Virginia Button and William Sewall of Jackson. During the last two years, 1t is said, twenty-seven per- sons have been murdered both by the Hargis and the Cockrill factions, which took opposite sides. Jett sided with the Hargis combination.
 Thomas Cockriu, brother of James Cockrill, was the principal witness against Jett. There were forty wit nesses called for the prosecution, and thirty eight testified.
 Thomas Cockrill was urged by his mother not to testify against his cousin, but Thomas had decided to testify to the fact that he saw his cousin fire the shot that killed his brother. He re- fused to listen to his mother and de- clafed that his cousin also killed Judge Marcum and had been convicted of that crime.

SOME PEACE SIGNS.
Turko- Bulgarian Conference
 Held at Sofia.
DEMANDS OF BULGARIA OUTLINED
Proposed Reforms For Macedonia Seem tO Have Been Accepted RY Turkey to a Large
 

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 23.-Within forty-eight hours the question of peace or war will probably be settled, ac- cording to authoritative opinions here. Premier Petroff has had an interview with Ali Feruh Bey, at which the whole situation in Macedonia was dis cussed.
 The following is the position of the Turko- Bulgarian negotiations: The porte recently manifested disposition to consider proposals for a direct un- derstanding and Bulgaria advanced the following conditions: First, the porte to grant a general amnesty and stop the persecution of the Bulgarians in Macedonia; second, mixed con- mission to be formed, the Bulgarian members of which should be nominat- cd by the Bulgarian exarch and never be in a minority on the commission, to elaborate administrative reforms, ar range for an extension of local admin istrative autonomy insure the safety of the highways and the equality of Christians and Mussulmans before the courts, reform the taxation and gen darmery and provide for personal se- curity.
 After the accomplishment of these tasks the commission, which would probably sit at Salonika, would be- come the council of the inspector gen. eral and would depute one of it's Bull garian members to report to the, sultan on the progress of affairs.
 Bulgaria also asked that the burned villages be. rebuilt with government assistance, the refugees repatriated, an especial ordinance issued providing for the organization and administration Of the Bulgarian schools and churches.
 These proposals seem to have been accepted in principle, although nothing definite has yet been decided. Even in the event of an agreement being. arriv- ed at proofs Of good faith would be re- quired as guarantee of the execution of the reforms, and if not forthcoming the Macedonians would continue their agitation.
 A list compiled from official sources is published giving the names of and details regarding twenty three villages in the district of Malkoternovo, eight cen in the district of Kirk Kilisse, four in Vasiliko and three in Vezene which have been the scene of pillage, murder and outrage by Turkish troops.
 AS result of this conference much better feeling prevails, and confident hopes are expressed that satisfactory adjustment will be reached. This view is strengthened by report from Con- stantinople to the effect that the coun- ell of ministers after some days dis- cussion is within measurable distance of an agreement on the chief points at issue.

Morgan Says Protect rs Dead.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 23.- Commenting on the absence of news from Bogota, as given out at Washing ton, Senator Morgan made the fol lowing statement: "The treaty has been dead for twenty five days. Moth ing could have resurrected it. The ac- tion at Bogota means the building of a canal by the Nicaragua route. Presi- dent Roosevelt has no discretionary powers, but it is made mandatory up- on him. It turned out exactly as ex- pected it would. It is the best thing for this country and the world. Now it goes back to the proposition to build the Nicaragua canal, and it will be the best thing for this country to do so."
