Nav Be Amicably Settled.

1t is not believed any serious trouble will
be occasioned among owners OF property
on 18th street between H and l streets
northwest by reason OF the discovery Of a
discrepancy between the original plot and
the recent survey of the lots. According
to the recent survey made by the District
surveyors Office number Of the houses
on 18th street between the streets men,
toned occupy several inches of ground be-
longing to adjoining lots.
In an opinion relative to this matter Cor
poration Counsel A. B. Duyall suggests that
the matter may be amicably settled to the
satisfaction of all the property owners by
a joint subdivision mutual quit-claim
deeds among the adjoining owners. The
rights of the adjoining owners he believes
have been definitely fixed and determined
by adverse possession.

FOR INSPECTION ONLY.
Places Where Milk is Sold Are Diaries
in No Other Sense.

In reply to a communication from the
District health officer relative to the con-
st-nction of the clause in the last Dis
trict appropriation act that every place
where milk Is sold shall be deemed a
dairy under the law for the purposes OF
inspection" Corporation Counsel Duvau
states that business establishments where
milk is sold are amenable to the dairy
laws only as they relate to the matter OF
inspection.
Proprietors of business establishments
where milk is sold Mr.. Duvall says, can
not be compelled to take out dairy IL
censes unless the places of business are
really diaries in every sense of the word.
He holds further that the proprietors of
such establishments cannot be compelled
to comply with all the laws and regula-
tons governing regularly licensed dali
rieS.

PoPULIsTs FAILED TO MEET.
Kentucky Delegation to Be Selected
Without Formally.

LOUISVILLE, KY. July 2.-The state
convention of the peoples party set for to-
day for the purpose Of selecting delegates
to the national convention at Springfield
Ill, July 4, was not held, but 1t was an
nounced from the headquarters of John A
Parker, the state committeeman. that the
men who will represent Kentucky would
probably be announced without formality
of a convention.
Mr.. Parker said the delegation would be
instructed for Mr.. Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia. and that If Watson would not
accept the Kentuckians would vote for
Judge Daniel Williams of Indiana. Senti-
ment of populists here is against fusion
with democrats.
The populists do not think the st Louis
convention will nominate a candidate who
will be Endorsed by the peoples party. IT
Is understood that Mr.. Parker will be given
second place on the national populist ticket,
no matter who heads it.

TO GUARD AGAINST BLOW BACKS.
Remarkably Simple Automatic Device
to Be Put on Turret Guns

There will soon be no danger of another
blow back in the navy. such caused
the terrible accident on the Missouri. For
many weeks experiments have been made
at the Washington navy yard and at Indian
Head with a remarkably simple automatic
device which instantly after the discharge
of gun expels from the bore every par
ticle of smoldering cloth and all the foul
gas created by the firing.
So successful have been the tests that
orders have been given TO adapt the
mocha nism to every one of the turret guns
in the navy, beginning with the large sizes.
and the work can be done without dis
manteling the turrets gun carriages at
any navy yard. 1t is expected that within a
few months ali OF the big ships will be thus
guarded against accidents.

BUILDING ASSOCIATION TAX
For Past Year Must Pay Four Pei
Cent on Gross Earnfnps

In an opinion submitted to the Commits
sioners today Corporation Counsel A. b.
Duvall holds that for the past fiscal year
the building associations in the District
must pay tax of per cent on their gross
earnings. but beginning July 1. the rate Of
per cent on the gross earnings became eff
fective.
The building associations objected to pay
ing tax OF 4 per cent for the year just
closed. contending that the law passed
April 2S, 1904 reducing the rate TO per
cent year superseded the former act
which fixed the rate of tax on gross earn
ings at per cent. Mr. Duvall holds that
the law Is not retroactive.

Late Corn Planting.

There is probability that there

very much of the corn growing

great deal Of the corn will be plant.
ed, if planted at all, from the 1st
to the 10th Of June. We suggest
to our readers who may possibly be
late in planting corn to secure if pos
sible corn Of the earlier varie-
ties whether they can get them
at home or have to bring them from
the north.
fyour corn season, asin Missouri,
southern Illinois, and the southern
tier or SO of counties in Iowa, and
similar latitudes west of the Mis-
souri,, is l20 days, and thirty days
are past, it is not wisdom to plant
l20-day corn. Plant ninety or 100
day corn. Whatever portion of the
season is past and you can not grow
corn in weather that has gone by,
plant the corn that is adapted tc
the season that remains. This GER

prayer meeting, which was very i'm
pressive. The men We're kneeling or
standing with bowed heads about the
chaplain, who was praying in voice
Of wonderful compass.
The general checked his horse and re-

Of the prayer. The chaplain asked the
Lord to give the men of Lees army su-
preme courage to meet the great crisis
that had come upon them, fortitude to
bear new privations and troubles.

enemy. Just then a tall private ross
from his knees and shouted to the chap

for bread! We have courage to spare
but to fight we must have something tc
eat. Pray for bread" This broke up

Concerning Campaign Funds

Hearst is just above forty years
old, he is putting all his force of
talent and money into really democ-
ratio public service, and the sugges-
ton that there is any impropriety in
his aspiring to the presidency is
sheer foolishness. About the first
thing American boys are taught in
school is that any one of them can be
president, if he tries hard enough.
And I am frank to say that l like
Hearst's way Of going at it. He has
studied to learn what the largest
number of the people want done,
and then set out to get that thing
done. II the people don't like his
style, they won't elect him: if they
do, all the kept-editors and trust
lawyers and sentimental sissies the
conservatives" can line up can't
beat him. The talk about his try
ing to buy nomination is rot. In
every political campaign there are
honest expenses to be met. Some
candidates allow their managers
to sponge on rich corporation for
cash to foot the campaign bills.
This puts the candidate in debt tc
Tom, Dick and Harry of the crowd
that profit by special legislation Of
one sort OF another. If Hearst
proposes to pay his own way, ask.
| ing no favors Of the trusts and thei,
kind, why, he won't be under any
obligations TO them in case he gets
elected. And he shouldn't be, nol
should any president. Roosevelt,
Independence is what mainly has
endeared him to the people.
From my point of view, the signs
of this presidential year are bad TO
the trusts. Their best hope is il
the election of a Conservative
democrat-a Cleveland or Parke
or German: in short, man the,

Tide Of Presidential Year." by Franl

Physical Cult,,rc.

1t is a mistake to think that excessive
physical exercise is beneficial. The op-
posite is the fact. As some one has
said, Man is not constructed to be a
running and leaping animal, like deer
or cat" To emphasize bodily develop
ment above the mental development is
step toward resumption of the life Of
the savage and lower animals. Phys
fcal culture is desirable thing; but, as
in everything else, the extremes are to
be avoided. A person may have too lit
tie bodily exercise and may also have
far too much or violent exercise. One
who is walking considerable part of
the day would need but little else as
exercise except, perhaps, calisthenics
for the arms, back and chest and on
retiring or rising. And the same ad-
vice is applicable to a woman who does
her own housework. But one confined
over desk or typewriter should make
conscientious habit of walking, bicy-
cling and 'calisthenics every day for an
hour or reabouts.-Cincinnati Trib-
une.

The Beautiful Land of Nod.

Come. cuddle your head on my shoulder, dear
Your head like the golden rod,
And We will go sailing away from here
To the beautiful Land OF Nod.
Away from life's hurry, and furry. and worry =
Away from earth's shadows and gloom,
To world of fair weather well float off together
Where roses are always In bloom.
Just shut up your eyes and fold your hands
Your hands like the leaves Of q rose:
And We will go sailing to those fair lands
That never an atlas shows.
On the North and tho West they are bounded
by rest,
Gu the S0utd and The asst by dreams,
IT'S the country Ideal, whore nothing Is real,
But everything only SEEMS
Just drop down the curtain of your dear eyes.
Those eyes of a bright Dlue-bell,
And We will sail out under starlit skies,
To the land where the fairies dwell.
Down tho river Of Sleep our barque shall sweep,
TIL 1t reaches that mystical Isle
Where no man hath som, but where all hava
been,
And there We will pause awhile.
Will Groom YOU song, as VIC float along.
To that shore that Is blessed Of God.
Then no! for that fair landi we'er off for that
rare land!
That beautiful Land OF Nod
