by them or their representatives, in
such a manner as to destroy competi-
ton between themselves as to the sale
of such coal as is o" may be the sub
ject of commerce among the several

Think L Is a Mere Eeint-

LONDON-The morning papers
hardly discuss President Castro's res
ignation, probably because they re
gard it as mere feint. This is the
view expressed by one or two papers
which comment on it. The Daily
Chronicle gives as its opinion that
the apparent unwilIingness OF rne
powers to submit the question of pref
erential treatment to The Hague ar
bitration tribunal induced President
Castro to endeavor to show the world
trat Venezuela is behind him.

FREE NEXT YEAR
MRS. MAVERICK TO BE LIBER.
ATED IN 1904.
is IN NO SENSE A PARDON
Woman's Release in Accordance With
Established English Practice for
Good Conduct-life Prisoners Can

LONDON.-Mrs. Florence Maybrick,
the American woman who was con-
victed at Liverpool in 1889 on the
charge of poisoning her husband,
James Maybrick, by arsenic, and whose
sentence of death was committed to
penal servitude for life. will be re-
leased in 1904.
The announcement comes from the
home office, which authorizes her
Washington lawyers to use the fact of
her release next year as a reason for
securing the postponement of the trial
of the lawsuits bearing on the prison
er's interest in land in Kentucky,
Virginia and West Viginia.
Mrs. Maybrick's pending release is in
no sense a pardon, being strictly in
conformity with English practice,
whereby a. good conduct prisoner is
released after serving a stipulated part
of his sentence. In the case of life
prisoners this period is placed at fif-
teen years and Mrs Maybrick will next
year have been in Jail for that time.
Those who are in a position to know
say that Home Secretary Akers-Doug-
las has shown great courtesy in con-
America.
Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor
ence Elizabeth Chandler and d mem
Der of well known and prosperous
southern family, was married July q,
1881, in st. James church, Picadilly, to
James Maybrick of Liverpool She
was then Is years old, vivacious and
beautiful, and also a favorite Her
husband was over 40 years old In the
spring of 1889 Mr. Maybrick became
i'll and in a few days he died. His
brothers investigated his death and
charged Mrs. Maybrick with the mur-
der of her husband. A long trial fol-
lowed and a number of doctors swore
Mr.. Maybrick died of arsenical poison
ing.
The defense proved that for twenty
years Mr.. Maybrick had been a con-
firmed arsenic eater and that he daily
took doses that would have killed a
dozen ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrick
was eventually sentenced to death by
the Judge, Sir Fitzjames Stephens, who
spoke for two days in charging the
jury, and who said it was impossible
for them to find ner not guilty in the
face of the medical evidence He died
some time later in a madhouse.
From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's
her mother. the Baroness
Won Roques, has been unremitting in
her attempts to obtain the prisoners
release. in which she has been aided
by influential friends on both sides of
the Atlantic. In 1900, after the death

justice of England, letter written to

orally understood that all the recent |

EARLY CONGRESS
PRESIDENT DETERMINED ON A
SPECIAL SESSION.
CUBAN TREATY LEGISLATION
President Believes the Treaty Should
Be Put into Effect Before Market
ing of the Sugar Crop-SessIon
Probably Be Called in October.


| WASHINGTON Roose
velt is fully determined to call con
| gress together in extra session on or
before October /. All sorts OF pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
him in the hope of inducing him TO
abandon this project But the presi-
dent has decided that it is essential
| that legislation must be enacted TO
put the Cuban treaty into effect be-
fore the marketing of the sugar crop
of the island for this year. The pres
| ident has told those who have called
| upon him to protest that, in his opin-
| ion, the necessary work can be ac-
complished within two or three weeks
| and that nothing need prevent an
adjournment in ample time to allow
senator's and members TO take part in
the fall campaigns in their respective
states.
There is no doubt that if the presi-
dents plan should be carried into of-
feet with the leaders in boCh houses
in harmony with him the desired
joint resolution could be disposed of
within week. But congress is not
in the habit of acquiescing in the
this kind. Within an hour after the
formal election of Mr. Cannon as
speaker the bill box will contain sew
eral hundred bills, the authors of
which will push their fayOrite meas
ures with their utmost vigOr. The
so-called Aldrich financial bill is one
which will cause prompt discussion.
1t was not because they opposed the
principles laid down in the bill that
refused to allow it to be discussed dur
ing the last few days of the last ses-
sion, but they argued with a great
deal of force that so radical a depart
ure from existing law should not be
forced through the house under whip
and spur during the last hours of a
dying congress, especially as the bill
had not been printed more than twen-
ty-four hours when the attempt was
made to pass it.
The fact that under the Panama
canal treaty something like S150, ,0O0-
n la
upon the market within the next few
years, may have an important bear
ing upon the fate of the AIdrich bill
Heretofore United States bonds, even
when bearing the lowest rate of in
terest, have always commanded a pre-
MUM. This is due in part to the fact
that such bonds are the basis of ra-
tional bank circulation, and are also
required as a guaranty that United
States funds deposited in banks will
be repaid when needed. The Aldrfch
bill, as it is well known, provides for
the substitution of state, municipal
and other bonds for such purposes.
and it is believed that should that
bill become law and the outstanding. i
Indebtedness of the United States be
increased, as it must be, as soon as
active work begins on the canal, the
result will be the depreciation in val
ne of government bonds But that
the Aldrich bill, or some similar meas
ure, will be put through congress at
the next session is a foregone con-
and that an attempt will be
made to have it enacted into law just
as soon as congress resassembIes. |
whether it be in August or Decem- |
her, is equally certain

A PINCH OF SALT.
As Necessary In Our Daily Life as
In Our Daily Food.

As Necessary In Our Daily Life as
In Our Daily Food.
How could we get on without salt?
In our daily food, as in our daily life. a
little Of it is necessary, and the absence
oil 1t takes away from the flavor of ev-
erything we eat. The salt of life"
which we hear about signifies the
health, vigOr and wit which we find in
life. There was time in countries far
from the sea when primitive man new
a 7dS%i salf - es-eOof. and it was
only when nations adTRnced in civiIi-
zation that salt became an absolute ne
cessity.
But it was not alone as food that s2Es
was valued. Among the ancieut.,s -1it

GAt included salt had a certain sacred
character, creating a bond of piety and
friendship between host and guest;
hence the expression. There is salt
between u.s." meaning friendship, and
to be untrue to salt means to be dis
loyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages. wnen all classes
and degrees sat at the same board.
they were placed according to rank.
above or below the great saltcellar.
which always stood in the middle and
marked the dividing social line above
the salt meant "of high degree" Be
low the salt were the yeomanry. serfs
and vassals of the feudal days A good
description of this custom may be
found in 'Ivanhoe" where Cedric. the
Saxon, entertains his vassals and
friends
A pinch Of salt is always considered
lucky in cooking To take anything
with a pinch of salt means to excuse
or make allowances for it. A salt is
a sailor. To salt ones conversation
means to make it sparkle Salt is al
ways employed in a sense Of benefit or
strength
The Bible has many references to
salt, among them being eye are the
salt Of the earth," Matthew V. 13. and
st. Paul says, Let your speech be al
ways with grace seasoned with salt"
Salt is used by Cathol4.s in baptism.

NIGHT BLINDNESS.
A Condition In Which the Vision
Fails as Daylight Fades.

A Condition In Which the Vision
Fails as Daylight Fades.
Night blindness is a condition in
which vision is perfect, or fairly so. in
daylight but fails with the setting of
the sun and is not restored under ordi-
nary conditions of artificial illumina-
tion. The sufferer from night blind
ness can usually see the light of a can
die or lamp when he looks directly at
1t, but he cannot read even when the
light is thrown directly upon the page.
Usually, however he sees we'll in
room lighted brilliantly with electric
ity, the degree of illumination then ap-
preaching that of sunlight.
The cause of night blindness is be-
lieved to be an eXhausting of the power
of vision by too great light, for it oc-
ours mainly among soldiers and sailors
in the tropics, who are exposed for
many hours to the glare of the sun. and
among arctic explorers, whose eyes are
dazzled by reflection from the snow.
On ShipbOard it is ORen associated
with scuryy, and persons who are de-
pressed physically or mentally or in
any other way run down" are more
likely to suffer than the strong.
Sailors have a superstition that the
trouble is due to imprudence in sleep
ing on deck in the moonlight, and this
belief is embodied in the term moon
blink by which they call it. The
tropical moon is probably as guiltless
in this respect as it is in the produc-
tiCn of insanity.
The only treatment for night blind
ness is keeping away from bright light
or protecting the eyes with goggles or
a handage until the exhausted retina
has recovered its tone.-Youths Com
panion.
