CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says:
The extra session of Congress has not
gone on with the 'one, two, three, bang
that President Roosevelt doubtless eX-
pected when he first decided to call it.
The close of the extra session, with
the reciprocity bill still hanging fire,
Is rather a back-slap at the White
House. Still, Mr., Roosevelt has the
satisfaction of knowing that date has
been set for a vote"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: TT seems quite possible that
with the Cuban lottery once established
an attempt will be made to dispose of
tickets in this country. OF course, they
can be kept out OF the mails, but there
is no lack of steamships by means of
which such a traffic could be conduct.
ed on a small scale. But precautions
would have to be very elaborate, for
those taking such risk would have
to reckon with the federal authorities
in case of detection"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: at is expected that the
free rural delivery service next year
will cost about $4,000 900. No one pre-
tends that it is anything near self-sup-
porting, but no one pretends either that

men opposed to the Brayton resolution

wants as big representation in the con-
vention from the South as he can get.

post the receipts from customs as he
has to deposit the receipts from other
sources.
The ship-subsidy bill is giving en-
couragement. The President recon-
mends that a commission be appointed
consisting of the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce
eral to collect facts showing in what
way the American Merchant Marine
can be so benefited that it will regain
the great place it once occupied upon
the seas.
The President isn't satisfied with the
immigration laws. He believes that
too many immigrants are coming into
the country and that too many are not
a desrabl kind.
There is a little paragraph about the
boil weevil but it is large enough if
Congress acts in accordance with its
recommendation The recommends
ton is that Congress do all it can to
avert the danger with which the Wee
vii threatens the cotton fields Of the
South.
on military and naval matters the
President has some very decided Opin-
ions. He thinks there ought to be an
other system for making promotions in
the army.
The present systematic system of
carbohydrates it impossible to say
who are the best and who the worst
soldiers, and he recognizes that the
practice of jumping an officer over
the heads of his seniors is open to crit
icism. The West Point system Of
making promotions appears to have
his approval. And he thinks that
there should be a general staff for the
navy as there is for the army-a gen.
eral staff that would act as advisors to
the Secretary of the Navy. Alaska
and its needs and resources and the
question of irrigation and other mat
tiers receive attention. The message is
quite free from dry details and will be
admitted to be an interesting and able
state paper.

An accident of this sort is related by
one of the older bankers. When Rufus
Hatch was in his prime there was a
little restaurant down town where the
men of finance took luncheon. Hatch
went in one day and found every ia
BILE occupied. He was in a hurry. There
seemed to be no chance. So he said
to the man in charge, loud enough to
be heard all over the small room: Ter
rible accident down at the Battery"

Full rugged ship has just gone
down in the channel, with a lot of
people on board:',
There was an immediate rush for the

''What's the fnattef?" asked Hatch.

1t is said that T. Adam Bede of Du-
luth, Mimi, will not essay the role of
funny man during the fifty-eighth
Congress. Bede believes that too much
is expected from the humorist in pub
lie life and that the funny man cannot
be successful He has serious business
before him and fears that if he ever
makes a speech of the kind that
amuses the House he will be expected
to do so every time he says anything,
and the result will be disappointment
to his fellow members.

nissnen the window signs.

lone of the tricks of the trade dur
ing the next year., said the window
dresser for a big department store to
a. representative of the New York Sun,
sis going to be the misspelling of words
in window signs. 1t works wonderfully.
You know, at one time, great trick
was to put a picture in your WINDOW
UPSIDE down. People would come in
droves to tell you about the mistake
and it gave business a boom for time.
But the misspelling of words beats
all the other old devices. why! Be
cause it is human nature to love 10
correct other folks. It's the same spirit
that animates the man, woman ana
child. who go blocks out of their way
to show a stranger where he wants to
go.
1T pleases people to know that they
know something you don't, and after
they have corrected you they go. on
their way inwardly pleased with them
selves, or else they are so brlm tull OF
geniality that you can sell them goods
that they never dreamed OF buying.
I'VE tried the new trick two weeks
ago. l had a sign made to go in
our white window. 1t read, Thanks
given Linens Well, that sign had
hardly been in the window fifteen
minutes before a gray-haired man
wearing spectacles stepped in. The
floor-walker at that door caught him.
He was beaming. He had noticed an
odd error in spelling in the window,
and if the floor walker would only step
outside he would show it to him.
The floor walker went out, of course,
with the old fellow, who pointed with
his cane at the carefully misspelled
sign. The fioor-walker thanked him
profusely and they chatted until the
old chap got asking questions about
the price of some of the handkerchiefs
in the window. Then the fioor-walker
took him inside and turned him over
to one of the counter girls.
After that they came thick and fast
In two hours the floor walker sent for
me and said he couldn't stand it. He
wasn't engaged as barker, and some
body's have to be put on the job; he
was neglecting his business. So we got
man to do nothing else but attend
to that misspelled sign.
1T worked we'll all that week ano
last week, too. Persons who did not
want white goods got inside in try
ing to correct that Thanksgiving err
ror, and saw something else that in
terested them, 50 it was just the same
But last Friday we took the sign
down and spelled Thanksgiving in the
good old fashioned way. Pretty soor
l expect wel have to spring another
one. There's no reason why we should
not take all honest advantage of the
frailties of the human race

The Death Substitute.

81 had in my employ" says one of
the missionaries to China, according
to V. c., "a very valuable Chinese
servant, upon whom leaned with i'm
plicit confidence. One day he came to
me and said: I shall be obliged to
ask you to find somebody to take my
place, as in the course of a few weeks
1 am to be executed in place of a rich
gentleman, who is to pay me, very
literally for becoming his substitute. ,
IT asked what possible inducement
there could be to forfeit his life for
any amount of money. He replied: II
have an aged father and mother, who
are very poor and unable to work,
and the money 1 am to receive will
make them comfortable as long as
they live. I think it is my duty to
give up my life to accomplish this. "

Radium is becoming cheaper. A
London cable says the price quoted in
the newspaper articles. e750,O0O per
ounce is altogether too high, and that
the prevailing rate is only G29,767, or
$14S,S35 per ounce. 1t is true that
nobody could purchase an ounce of the
stuff even at the higher figure named,
because nobody has that much of it to
sell; but it is not right to name fancy
figure merely because there isn't so
much of the stuff in the market. Mean
while the chemists are continually eX-
perimenting and at least one of
them has found a new source of
supply of radium. This chemist is con-
nected with Princeton University and
reports that he has succeeded in ex-
tracing a small quantity of radium
from carnolite. an ore found in Utah.
Should this discovery pan out, it is
likely that the price of the wonderful
new element will be still further re-
duced. While all of this activity in
radium circles is going on, brand
new discovery is reported. A French
scientist has found q new substance
which he calls actinium. 1t belongs
to the radium group and has remark
able powers, but the amount Of it thus
far secured is so small that extended
Investigations with it have been inn
practicable. The new substance, like
radium, is derived from pitchblende.

The Colombia State has a special
from Washington in which it is stated
that there is much concern in the
Navy Department with respect to the
fresh water supply for the naval sta
ton at Charleston. 1t is intimated
that Charleston does not propose to
execute in spirit as well as letter the
pledges which the government receiv-
ed from her relating to the water sup
ply. and that the government may
find it necessary to establish its own
water works for supplying the navy
yard. An officer of the navy is quot
ed as saying: I'VE have gone so far
with the work now that l fear it is
impossible to recede. 1t is clear to
us ALL however that it will be i'm
practicable, as well as undesirable, to
build up the plant at Charleston on
anything like the scale originally in
tended" If this is a correct state
ment of affairs, it is rather unfor-
tunate for Charleston. We are not
in a position to know what the city
intends to do in the matter
of water supply for the naval
station, but we do know that
of late strenuous efforts have
been made to secure an ample water
supply for city purposes with a con-
siderable margin left over for COM
mercial and other purposes. There
has been much criticism Of the water
scheme and the construction of the
plant has received several set-backs,
Notwithstanding which the engineers
have given assurances that within a

be abundant, potable and wholesome.

Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality. -
People who complain of falling hair
as a rule do not know that it is the
result of dandruff. which is caused by
a pestiferous parasite burrowing up
the scalp as it digs down to the sheath
in which the hair is fed in the scalp.
Before long the hair root is shriveled
up and the hair drops out. If the
work of the germ is not destroyed
hair keeps thinning till badness
comes. The only way to cure dandrun
is to kill the germ, and until now
there has been no hair preparation
that would do 1t; but to-day dandruf
is easily eradicated by Newbro's
Herpicide, which makes hair glossy
and soft as silk. Sold by leading

A Rome cable says that when Car
dinal Del Val assumed charge of the
financial affairs of the Vatican he was
confronted with the task of straighten-
ing out tangled mass of bookkeeping
and ascertaining the whereabouts of
several millions of franks missing
from the funds. After the death of
Pope Leo nearly $4,000, 900 in money and
securities was found hidden in odd
hooks and corners about his apart
ments. Several years ago there were
discovered thefts of considerable sums
of money from the Vatican treasury,
and the supposition is that, following
these disclosures, Pope Leo considered
that the money would be safer if kept
under his own eye or the eyes of those
whom he knew personally and could
place confidence in. To that, end it
was his custom to conceal in cup
boards and crannies large gifts re-
ceived by him. It is known, further
more, that he made considerable loans
to impecunious noble families that did
not find their way on the books. 1t
is believed that such loans will large
ly account for the missing funds.
