WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspo ndent.

From our Regular Ccrrespo ndent. /
Fearing a democratic yic~
tory in the State President
Roosevelt has interfeIed in
Maryland politics to an ex
tent which has been resented
even by members OF his own
party. His purpose was to
establish harmony between
the two republican factions
which have taken sides either
with Senator McComas or
Representative Muddin their
quarrel oyer Federal patron
age. The leaders OF both far
tions have had several con
ferences with the President
who gave them plainly to un
derstanG that he wanted a
republican victory in t h e
state and that they should
put aside their differences and
unite to that effect. 1t is he
Iieved that the President has
missed the mark and that his
interference will have an ef-
feet the eopposite OF which he
desired. The lea ders Of the diff
ierpnt factions seem as faa a
part as ever, and one of them
gave out in an interview the
opinion that Mr. Roosevelt
has accomplished nothing ex
cept to lay bare 10 every side
that the republicans of Mary
land are sadly divided. All
his advice will have no mate
rial effect upon the campaign.
On the other hand, as is well
known. Maryland people,
when in politics, are exceed
ingly clanish. They resent
outside influence, and in my
Judgment a mistake has been
unwitting!y made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Cor
man criticised the Presidents
interference very severely. He
said, "The voters OF the coun
try are confronted with the
almost unprecedented a n d
most extraordinary spectac-
le of the President devOting
practically all his time to the
conduct Of campaigns in the
States where local elections
are pending. In my own state
Maryland, there is scarcely a
fday when the President does
NOT summon to the White
House the chairman Of the re

some other leader to instruct
him how to run the. canvass

Among the laxatives are

The astringents are black

The kinds used for diuiet-

1t is sometimes difficult to
keep raisins, figs and dates
away from the inqnisitive lit

IS easily accomplished by put
ting them in paper bags that
have been well brushed over
with strong borax water and
dried before the fruit is put
in. The little pests do D o t

gnaw through the sack when
thus prepared

POOR RICHARDS

Remember that money is of
the prolific generating value.
Money can beget money, and
its offspring can beget more,
and so on.
Five shillings turned is six
turned again, is seven and
three pence, and SO on until
it becomes a hundred pounds.
The more there is of it the
more it produces every turn

quicker and quicker.
He that murders a crown
destroys all that might have
produced scores Of pounds. "
Similar words may be spoken
of fire insurance. He that
cancels a policy destroys what
may have saved him thous-
ands of dollars, He that car
ries ample insurance has made
an investment that may bring
him a hundred-fold.

King PennilesH.

Wealthy as King Edward of Eng
land is, he found himself without
money the other day, and at a mo-
ment when he needed it badly. The
queen and he were attending divine
service in st. Paurs cathedral, and
in due course the poorbox was hand.
ed to them. The king thereupon put
his hand in his vest pocket for some
money, but found none, and, though
he searched pocket after pocket, he
was unable to produce a single penny.
Much discounted, he turned to the
queen, probably with the intention of
asking for her purse, but he was too
late, for the official with the box had
passed on. After the service the king
mentioned the incident to the bishop
of London. who had officiated, and
said that he would be obliged to ask
him for a small loan, adding, hui.

A DOCTORS POINT OF VIEW.
Physician Says the Carpet Is the Most
UnsanItary Thing In the
Modern Home.

"When the American housewife be-
comes thoroughly educated in domes-
tic sanitation she will never have a
carpet in her home" remarked De-
troit doctor, who has made a deep
study of the germ theory, according to
The Free Press.
"'Why% Simply because it is the
most unsanitary thing in the house.
No matter how careful the inmates
may be in the matter of cleaning their
shoes before entering the house-un-
less they were to adopt the oriental
practice of taking them off and leav-
ing them outside-they are bound to
carry in some dirt from the street.
This dirt settles in the carpets, and
when sweeping day comes it is stirred
up and the air of the room becomes
filled with it. 1t may not always be
impure, but as nearly all of it comes
from the street the chances are that it
it, and when the sweeper, or whoever
passes through the room during the
sweeping process, inhales it whatever
dangers may Turk in it pass into the
lungs and perform their work of mis-
chief. If you want to test this theory
go yourself into a carpeted room that
has just been swept and notice how
quickly you can become choked with
the dust that is in the air.
What would 1 substitute for car
pets? Rugs. And not large, heavy
rugs, either, but small and light ones
that may easily be lifted up and
taken out doors for cleaning. Rugs,
however cheap, on hard wood floors
are better than the most expensive
carpet you can buy, if you have re-
gard for your health. They should
be cleaned frequently, too, and al
ways out doors.
eff this simple method were uni
Versally adopted you may be sure
that we doctors would in time have
fewer patients to take care of, and |
this fact should give you sufficient
evidence that my suggestion is not |
made for a selfish purpose"

ANOTHER SURE CURE.
Man Who Could Not Sleep Tried Mince
Pie and Dropped on Lake
Log.

."Every newspaper one picks up

said man who believes that he hasn't
slept any worth mentioning for ten
or twelve years, relates the Detroit
Free Press. "But I have tried many
of them without any benefit whatever.
Recently, however, I've devised pc
culiar remedy of my own. The for

and you may not always have the pam

YOUNG ROYALTY IN GERMANY,
Number Who Will Soon Come to
the Front in a Spectacular
Way.

The members of the royal family,
who have been hitherto in the infant
class, will now play a leading role in
court society. There is, first of all,
the crown prince, lusty, fun-loving
young lad, who has just reached the
age of manhood, and for whom the
court intriguers are trying to make a
brilliant match. AT present gossip
has it that Princess Alice, of Great
Britain, the daughter of the duchess
of Albany, is to be the favored one.
But the crown prince, like his father,
insists upon making his own choice,
regardless of political considerations.
But if predictions go for anything
he will doubtless marry a member Of
the British family, and Princess Alice
combines both royal English blood
end beauty. She is now living with
her mother in Potsdam, near the
royal palace, and is the favorite Of
the kaiserin at little family gather
ings, country strolls and drives
around Sans Souci, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
After the crown prince comes
Prince Adalbert, who is now living
in Kiel, and is to be the future lord
of Germany's' navy, just as Prince
Henry, as the next eldest of Kaiser
Wilhelm, became chief admiral
Prince Adelbert is being bred for the
sailor life, however, and will not be
seen much at court. The third mem
Der, however, is a charming, hand
some lad called Eitel Fritz, who is to
enter at Bonn university with the
crown prince and has already become
a social lion. The remaining chill.
dren are still to be kept to their
studies.
AS in all court centers, society is
divided into various sets, each of
which has it's own leaders by virtue
of Office or lavish entertainment. The
most exclusive court set is that with
which the kaiser and kaiserin sur
round themselves at the new palace
in Potsdam, in which are included
Prince and Princess Henry, the arch
prince and duchess of Schleswig-
Folstein, brother of the empress;
Prince and the beautiful Princess
Leopold of Prussia and the different
reigning leaders of the Prussian
houses affiliated with the royal fam
lily. This circle is the simon-pure |
"Hohenzollern" society, in which only |
family relation counts. Then come
the members of the royal cabinet and
their wives, with Chancellor and
Countess Won Buelow at the head.
Countess Won Buelow is an italian
by birth and one of the most brilliant
of social entertainers at the old
chancellor palace in which Bismarck
lived when in Berlin. Adjoining this
estate are the ministerial residences
and gardens of Baron Won Hichthof-
en-, minister of foreign affairs; Min
ster Won Rheinbaben, minister Of
finance; Minister Posadowsky, minis
ter of culture study, and Others
All the ministers are supplied with
palatial residences by the govern
nent, where they entertain accord.
ng to their measure.

TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.

We publish in another column report
of the condition of Tazewell National
Bank. 1t is splendid showing for this
excellent institution.
The Columbia MOI Herald says"
Vending is today the prince of the
American platform, and this lecture on
1.-THE Man of Galilee" is his greatest pro
duction." The people of Tazewell will
have an opportunity 10 hear this "prince
of the American platform" on the Dist
inst. The opportunity should not be
missed
1t now looks very much like the con-
troversy with the Tazewell Telephone Ex'
change will be compromised and that the
Mutual system will not be established.
Propositions along line of compromise
have been made and are likely to result
in a settlement of the dispute. AT the be.
ginning of the trouble we expressed the
hope that the matter would be so arranged
as to unity all the telephone systems in the
county, and we trust that will yet be
done. We understand that Mr.. G. c.
Long has sold his stock in the Tazewel
Exchange to Mr. A. st. Clair.
Mr.. w. G. Mustard is very sick man
at his home near Wltten's Mills. He has
been sick for about six weeks, and bis
condition has gradually grown worse. Dr.
j. II. Crockett has been his attending
physician, and on last Monday DR.. J. T
Graham, of WytheVile, was 'phoned foi
to consult in the case. On Tuesday morn
ing DIR. Graham reached Mr. Mustsrd's
aud remained there until yesterday, at the
time we received the last news from Mr.
Mustard. We have been unable to Learn
whether DR.. Graham left yesterday or not
and do not know what opinion followed
the consultation of the physicians. W.
trust that Mr. Mustard's sickness is not al
serious as his friends have been led tC
apprehend, and that he will be restored
to health.
A report ofthe condition of the Banl
of Cinch Valley will be found in anothe
column. 1t shows the bank to be in fin
condition.
