Letter to A. B. Hill.

Dear Sir : Everybody considers paint
ing necessary nuisance, and you are
no exception.
You can't abolish it altogether; but
you can make it come half as often, and
cost only two thirds as much each time,
and have your house look better all the
time.
Everybody knows that the sea-shore
is hard ON paint. The Harrington res
idence at Rockland, Maine, sea-coast
town, was painted with Devoe severn
teen years ago. The house has never
been repainted, and seems to be we'll
painted yet.
If you want to take the trouble to be
convinced, we can send you hundred
other instances but none so striking
a. this
This is not all. Devoe Lead and Zinc

more square feet to the gallon than any

BRYAN'S CALL TO ARMS.

| he y 0 be has before given expression to the
opinion that William Bryan has the right as any
other patriotic American citizen, to issue Call to
formidable army would respond to such call Mr. Bryan
without doubt potent factor in the political affairs of
the United States His following is in great part made
UP of voters who believe Mr. Bryan and is right
for they believe him sincere and honest and they be-
leve he is the steadfast champion of the peo-
pie. Doctrinaires may theoretically show him wrong
millOnaires may point out dangers Ito themselves) in
his teachings, but there million voters in the
land who went the polls twice and cast their ballots
for him i'll full confidence that he is honest and is right
These least very large proportion of them
would gladly go to the polls and for him again.
Hence, Mr.. Bryan's call to is likely to awaken
activity among his followers throughout the land Not
that there will be at great demonstrations all along
the line, for the next campaign is far ahead But
the call will sink into the hearts of those who rallied be-
fore when his trumpet sounded, and they will hold
themselves in readiness forward when the time
for action arrives.
The G ODE is glad the call was issued The
Globe approves of any action which may have the
effect Of reminding in the hearts of voters the fires of
historic Democracy There never was a time of peace
when revival of pure Democracy so necessary to
the salvation of the nation. And there has not been
time since the silver issue the party in twain when
reunion easy.
This is good time for heart-to- heart talks between
Democrats to the end that there may be substantial
harmony and intense zeal for their party in the next
campaign

AGAINST HIS WILL.


Present stirring events make us soon forget the
past Who recalls the fact that less than years
ago Theodore Roosevelt sulkng in his and hot
y debating in his mind the matter of scornfuly re-
Jectng nomination for the vice presidency on the
ticket with William Mckinley? But for the tremen-
dous pressure brought to bear by influential politicians
and friends, without doubt Roosevelt would have re-
fused the nomination.
1t will be remembered he went to the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia with vautng
btlon to be chosen to lead the ticket That this amb
ton was utterly of the question the time made
difference with the imperous Roosevelt He wanted it.
and that sufficient for him. the accomplish
men of his purposes and desires has been the con-
trolling rule of action of his life.
At Philadelphia he stood no chance Of being chosen
to lead the ticket He sneered at the idea of taking
ond place 1t the time that he thought
himself greater man than Mckinley and considered it
humiliation to be put the ticket below the Ohio
statesman At last he yieded-perhaps for the reason
that there other way in sight to keep himself
before the public until the conventions of 1904 His cleo
ton, the assassination of Mckinley and subsequent
events wildly in mind
Had Roosevelt stood firm in his first determination
to refuse the vice presidential nomination he would to.
day be an unmporant private citizen of New York;
his enemies would have the political machine so well in
hand that his nomination next time by the Republicans
would not be dreamed Of
And but for the crime that carried off President Nc
Kney it is improbable that Roosevelt would have achiev
ed any higher station. Mckinley entertained little love
for him and did entertain lasting affection for Hanna
and without doubt would have used the influence of his
position president to hand his political god
father the nomination which Roosevelt would have vain
ly sought
But men not always masters of their own fate
Roosevelt in yielded to the opportunities of his
friends, accepted the second place on the Mckinley
ticket and is allpowerful in his party That the
leaders of the partythe great politicians-hate him
most fervently is rather to his credit and will make
him all the stronger with the people at the next election
Roosevelt is stronger than the Republican politi-
c1ansas Blaine stronger-and remains be seen
whether the Republican politicians will defeat him at the
polls they defeated Blaine. His lucky star is still
blazing his head but the election months
off.

BRUTALITY IN AsYLUMs.

An item in Sunday mornings lobe dated To-
peka, Kan, to emphasize the great need of
watchfuness the part of those intrusted with the
of the unfortunate and helpless An insane patient
in the Kansas asylum killed. SO far the evidence
at hand shows by the brutality of two attendants The
mans chest and ribs crushed and his body disfg
ured by kicks The attendants arrested and re-
fused testify in their own behalf the preliminary
hearing.
A similar case in a Minnesota institution re-
ported not many months ago. That many of like
nature never become generally known there Is reason
to believe. That such confined to insane
1ums is to be believed Without doubt they occur
in ali institutions of detention and punishment at
time othernot cases resulting in DEATH but
where brutality is displayed
The object of Imprisonment is reformation and the
object of detention i'll the of the unfortunate is
Neither reformation be effected by
brutality Hence the should surround prisoners
and patients with every safeguard against brutality Of
course is not to be inferred that he Globe holds
brutality to be the rule in any institution, but the pos
sibity of brutality should be reduced to minimum,
and the punishment melted to attendants guilty of it
should be swift and The killing of helpless in
patient by brutal attendants is murder just
much the assassination of president, and merits the
punishment.

it has become known that foggng in outrageous

that the and other tortures

Three ENGINES Smashed.

ern railway, north bound, collided head
on early today with south bound freight
drawn by two engines near Roddy, Tenn,
about thirty miles from this city Both
trains We're running about TWENTY-FIVE
miles an hour, but the engine crews
jumped in time to save themselves The
collision, it is alleged, was due to the
crew of the freight train overlooking their
orders and pulling out upon the main

were badly damaged None Of the pas

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

He seldom is handsome or natty
And none of the charms of the dude,
Is oft more distracted than chatty
And sometimes unbearably rude.
He courts US, then sights us and grieves
us,
As much as he possibly can;
He kisses u.s. loves us and leaves us
This perfdious newspaper man.
Our mothers won't have him come calling.
He's no earthly good as a CATCH
His morals (they say) are appalling;
His finances usually match.
He's rollicking, reckless, uncaring;
Lives but for the hour, the day;
He's dangerous. dubious, daring
Not fit for husband, they say.
But somehow, we girls are forgiving.
Perhaps he but needs us the more,
Because he goes wrong in the living,
And knows the old world to Its core.
So We pass up the dude and the schemer
Who lead in society'S van,
And cherich the thinker and dreamer
Enshrined in the newspaper man.

cling couple, also make good. The
marvellous Martell family do some
really marvellous work on bicycles,
wagon wheels and other circular con-
tr1vances. Palmer and Harvey, in a
song and comedy sketch, do some
clever work, and introduce parodies on
popular songs.
The feature of the whole show. how
ever, is the Cat and Dog Circus" in
troduced by Trainer Coleman. He has
half a dozen Scotch collies, several
mastiffs and three or four bull terriers,
which do almost everything but talk
The big event of this turn, however, is
the introduction of four trained cats,
who perform tricks with the dogs, rid
ing about on dogs backs and doing
stunts like regular circus riders. John
A. West, the Musical Brownie"
plays number of late songs on a va
r1ety of instruments, and has a hard
tme getting away from the audience.
The show closes with "a Night in
Paris" and this gives an opportunity
for the display of pretty costumes and
hgures and the rendition of catchy
songs.
1t is announced that Beerbohm Tree
mas revived Oliver Twist in England
There have been several versions Of
Dickens famous story, and in all those
VI pIeN1OnS years either Bill Sykes or
Nancy Sykes has been the conspicu-
Gus character. Mr.. Tree will make a
departure from the old constructions,
and Fagin the Jew will be put forth
as the central figure. The reason for
this is plain Mr.. Tree is looking for
the spectacular interests and effects
that can be attached to this role.
Henry Irving once played Bill Sykes,
and 1t was so brutal and realistic that
the audiences were simply Mortified.
There have been many noted i'm
personators of Bill and Nancy Sykes
IN America, but the play has not been
presented in this country for several
years. The last revival was by Elita
Proctor Otis, who did not score much
success with it. Old theater goers
still recall the marvellous Nancy Sykes
OF Lucille Western, who is considered
the most wonderful emotional actress
our stage has ever produced. In his
day Barney Macauley was a great Bill
sykes; so was E. L. Davenport. The
experiment of Beerbohm Tree will be
watched by American actors, and
should Fagin as the leading character
prove hit there is no doubt that the
play will be reconstructed and put on
here again.
