LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course OF married love
when "the thrill goes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
TO other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often is 1t
not due to the wife's nervousness and 1rri-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
itless-she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.

CANAL is $500 YEARS OLD.
At Least the Corinthian Was Under
Contemplation as Long
Ago as That.

Speaking of canals" said the
engineer who had been talking
about Panama, "a very interest
ing canal, and one not much heard
of, is that connected with the gulf
Of Corinth and the gulf Of Aegina
in Greece.
Its some older than any we
have in the western hemisphere,
also, for Periander, tyrant Of
Corinth, proposed to cut through
the isthmus as long ago as 600
years before Christ. Superstition
stopped him, however.
Julius Caesar and Caligula
took it up again when Rome had
hold of Greece, but it was too
much for them. Then came Nero,
and he went at it with vigor, but
the work stopped when he died.
"Others kept pounding away
at it for the next several hundred
years, but it was not until 1881
that real work Of the Nero en-
ergy was put upon it. Then Gen.
Turr, aide-de-camp to Victor EN-
manuel Of Italy, organized com.
pany and worked on till the mon
ey gave out in 1890, the chief OBJ
stacle being some kind Of flint
which dynamite couldn't break.
"About $10.00O,00O was spent
up to 1890, and then Mr.. Syngros

A NEGRO AND STEAMBOAT.
River Mans Reason for Believing
Colored Man Good Roustabout
superior to Whites.

"The suggestion came out of st
Louis the other day that white
labor had replaced the negro on
the wharf and that after long
service the black rOustabout was
about to enter upon the decline of
his sway" said an old river man,
according to the New Orleans
Times Democrat. "All of which,
l may add, accept with grain of
salt, as the saying goes. Some
how l can never think of the sue
cessful and really valuable rousta-
bout as anything but a black man.
"The negro seems to have been
born to the calling. He is, as
rule, fond of the steamboat, and
naturally takes to steamboat
work. He has always lowered
around the river. OF course, you
will find negroes back in the hills
and scattered around in the higher
attitudes, but the vast majority
of them you will find quartered
in the lowlands of the country, and
on the rivers, where he can hear
the hutter of steamboat wheels.
There is one other fact to be men
toned in connection with the ne
gro's peculiar fitness for steam
boating.
"Did you ever hear the steam
boat mate talking to the 'rous-
ters'-say, for instance, when the
boat was a little late in pulling
'ut and during the busy season?
Hast not, eh? Well, there is some
thing in store for you, something
lurid and forceful, and some thing
that will force you to run the
gamut of the emotions. The point
is that the negro is stimulated
and urged on to quicker work by
this kind of talk. Profanity is an
essential in the mates calling.
The negro needs it. l was Just
wondering if the white man would
ever get used to it. Maybe SO, but
| have my doubts about it,"

TELEPHONES FOR PATIENTS.
Philadelphia Hospital Makes 1t Pos
sioSo for Sick Ones to vAaAt
with Dlstnnt PYlSudS.

Within . day or two it will be pos
sible for a patient in the Methodist
hospital in Philadelphia to talk from
their beds with relatives or friends
outside of the institution, and to re-
csive messages directly from those
who, for various reasons, might be de-
barred from calling tn person.
This will be accomplished by the in
stallation Of a new telephone system
connecting each building, ward and
private room in the hospital. When
the system is in use, a patient whose
condition does not prohibit his par
ticipating the benefits of the scheme
may converse freely with anyone who
is in touch with telephone, either
in the city or at points hundreds of
miles away.

New York. July 4.-"Wholesome
American sentiment, which demands
fairness and equality in sharing the
blessings of our popular government,
was urged in a letter from former
President Grover Cleveland, which was
read at the annual Fourth of July cell
ebration of Tammany Hall. Mr. Cleve-
lands letter was as follows:

Sirs: I regret that my departure to-

make it impossible for me to join the
Tammany Society in its celebration of
the coming anniversary of American
independence. 1t seems to me that
present social and political conditions
warn all patriotic Americans that
there is need of a revival of the popu-
lar sentiments and disposition in
which the Declaration of Independence
had its origin. which made it the foun-
dalton of a great nation and in which
is found the promise of its perpetuity.
1.-THE intent OF that instrument was
not only to declare the equality of
man. but to decree its maintenance and
the independence it proclaimed signi-

from a government which lacked their
consent. but also their lasting freedom
in political thought and action.

Game Drew n Crowd and Resulted
in Score of , to 4.
Brunswick. Ga, July 4.-The Fourth
was observed by Brunswick. Large
crowds from this city and also from
the interior spent the day on st. ST.
mon, where an interesting programme
of sports was rendered.
The drawing card in Brunswick was
the ball game between the Brunswick
Pilots and the Savannah Y. NJ. C. AS
which resulted in a victory for the To-
Gals by a score of to 4. The game
was witnessed by a record breaking
Fourth of July crowd and was inter-
esting from start to finish. 1t looked
like a victory for the Savannah boys
until the sixth inning, when the To-
Gals jumped on OConnell and, with
several hits succeeded in scoring three
runs. Previous to this inning the score
stood to l in favor of the Savannah
team. In the eighth, with man on
third, Harmon, who was substituted
for O'COnnell, made a wild throw and
allowed Brunswick to add the needed
run. Savannah did not score after
the fifth inning.
Walker, for the locals, pitched an
excellent game, striking out fourteen
men and allowing only six hits.
Council and Harmon gave up T. The
game was one of the most interesting
seen here this season and both teams
played good, fast ball.
