ROOSEVELT AS CAESAR
CANNON THINKS THE CAMPARIsON
 NOT APT.
Speaker of the House Delivers an Ad- dress at Terre Haute and Re- views the Record of the
 President.

Terre Haute. Ind, Sept. 16.-"And so this President of ours is Caesar. a dangerous man who wants to kill you. both where you are and where you aint?" exclaimed Speaker Cannon in his discussion here tonight of the rec ord of President Roosevelt, in connec- ton with miiitarism, the coast de- lenses and the increases in the navy. The, Speaker. arrived here at o'clock in company with Congressman Hemen . way and tonight addressed large au' dience at the Coliseum
 Militarism he pronounced a veritable bogey man. The President, he declared. has done nothing worse in the way of Caesarism than reduce the army from 100000 to 5000. and in view of tho fact that this number gives only about one soldier to each 400 persons in the country. he did not consider the out look dangerous in that direction Re- ferring to the coast defenses. he said that the Spanish war had demonstrated their necessity.
 Concerning the navy of the United States, he recalled the fact that Terre Haute had been the home of Secretary Thompson and said:
 They say we are extravagant. We were sperd ding between thirty and forty millions a year under Cleveland, and he was supposed to be economical. Our appropriations this year for the navy are about $102,000, 900. Do you know that a good navy for the United States is the most economical thing that VIC can have? It Is equivalent to bond Of faith. for peace. because, if we have a navy that can protect our coast line, 1t strengthens our diplomacy.
 The fact that we have eighty mil lions of people. the fact that we are the richest country on earth; the fact that we make one-third of the products of the earth, and the fact that we have this navy and that 1t Is growing. strengthens our diplomacy. I would like MT. Parker to rise in his place and say whether, if he is President, he will favor a policy that will dismantle the navy and discontinue further con struction. If he does. the loyal and intelligent people of our country would trample upon him. If he does not mean to do that. what Is he talking about extravaganza for?"
 Mir. Cannon also spoke of the tariff and referring to the Southern States said that those States while they rep resent only about one-sixth of the wealth of the country would control its fiscal and economic policies. He also referred to the discrepancy in the Southern vote as compared with that of the North and said that the five States of Arkansas. South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi with thirty-seven members of the House of Representatives. cast only 166,000 votes, while four Congressional districts in Indiana cast 191, 900 votes."

THE rRAcKLEss TROLLEY.
Cheaper to Construct, but More Costly to
 Operate.

Philadelphia Record.
 As regards the cost of trackless trolley roads the figures furnished by the Berlin General Electric Company in its operation of the .Haida Railroad are instructive. These show that a trackless overhead troll ley car, capable of holding twenty-two per sons. used about the same electric current as an ordinary street car having room for twenty eight persons. With the trackless railroad about twenty-five per cent more electric current used than on regular street cars. It should also be said that the maintenance of the cars. owing to a greater wearing out of the rolling stock, and ex- tensive need of lubricators. etc. is larger than on track cars On the other hand this higher cost of maintenance Is met by an ex- pense for tracks and the keeping of them in good condition.
 A track road for every kometer costs from S2O,00O tos3o 00o. while a trackless road can be built for S3.750 to 5000. A trackies road three kilometers long. now in active operation. estimated its cost at about s4.500 per kilometre. or a total of Sl3,5o0 for the whole distance.
 Similar favorable figures are given by Schieman in the operation of the trackless line in the Bila Valley. According to the latest reports after three months opera ton, the cost of electric current used was double that of a track road. This greater utilization of current was. however. only one tenth of the sum which track roads require for interest and maintenance.
 A large part of the income of the track less roads is obtained by the carrying of freight which is a source of profit even when the passenger traffic is inadequate. Furthermore. legally considered, the track less roads are very useful, for they are not required to meet such stringent conditions nc ara asked of electric track lines. As a matter of fact the streets are not at all tntuned by the trackless cars but have a smoothing effect on the pavement over which they pass. It Is believed here that even on asphalt pavement trackiess cars can he successfully used.

 Mobile, Sept IS.
 You.nco Antonio, Loinanco Gesparie .nd Restvo Branch, three Italian tai, ors were arrested at o'clock tn's afternoon and were locked up.
 The men are held for passing cvu terfeit money. Major 4. United States immigrant inspectoI Aa heen working up a case since the re- por, came out hat bogus sreenbacks, s,,nnosed to have been issued oy Morristown, N. J.. bank were being cir cuJated in this city. United states Secret Service Agent iMcAdams was here assisting Major You in his work.
 Major You pointed out to Chief of Police Case Lomanco Antonio and asked that he be arrested. Once he was in the tolls. the other two were soon brought in. Captain Rock Of tpe revenue cutter Alert identified Antonio as a man whom he had seen attempt ing to pass one of the counterfer ss bills on the proprietor of a cafe. and he will be used as a witness for the prosecution.
 The men after their arrest were identified during the afternoon by six persons and others came in during the evening and identified the men as hav- ing passed some of the bad bills on them.
 The three prisoners stoutly deny be- ing guilty of the charge. They are members of the Italian colony estab- Iished at Palermo. on the Southern Railway, some time ago, which col lapsed. and each of them had secured employment as a tailor in a local es- tablishment Within an hour after the arrests were made. the three prf- soners were brought before United States Commissioner Dunlap in the government building for trial. The men professed to be unable to speak English intelligently, but sufficient in- criminating testimony was obtained to warrant each being ordered held in the sum of s2.50o for further examina- tion. In default of bond the men were incarcerated in the county jail.
 Agent McAdams Is positive as to the guilt of Antonio. and he was equally positive the others would be incrimi- mated. He stated that this bogus cur rency is we'll known to secret service officials. and only Italians have been used as tools to put 1t in circulation in recent years. He is of the opinion that some of the goods have been put in circulation in New Orleans. A lot of counterfeit money has been in circu- lation in the tenderloin district.

EGYPrs LOCUST PLAGUE.
Insects March Across Country in Phalanxes
 Three Feet Deep.


 Three Feet Deep. London Mail.
 There Is every probability of the plague of locusts which has now descended upon Egypt proving . very seriour one. Great anxiety is felt for the young cotton and other crops.
 The locusts first arrive ir comparatively small numbers. but they multiply very rap- idly as soon as they reach the edge Of cul- tivation.
 Within ten days the young insects. though still wingless, advance in solid phalanx. son etimes two or three feet deep and sev- eral miles in length. It is essential that at this stage they should be destroyed. as k wonld be impossible to check the rav- aGes of flying locusts.
 The method adopted during the last vis- itation, that of 1890. vas to dig deep trench es sometimes miles in length, between which and the advancing swarm huge heaps of straw were laid and fired.
 Any locusts which succeeded in escaping the flames and smoke fell into the trenches. where they were destroyed by natives un- der the. supervision of English instructors. It is a providentiai habit of young To- custs never to turn back or aside when once started no matter what obstacles are put in their way.

PARALYSIS CURED.
MIR. JOHN KENNEY's CASE YIELDS
 TO TREATMENT.
His Condition Had Been Thought Hope less-His Recovery . Great Won- der-Some Details Given by
 WUau.s&If

Mfr. Kenney has actually escaped from the paralytics fate to which he seemed a short time since hopelessly doomed. The surprising report has been fully verified and some important details secured in a personal interview with the recent sufferer.
 The doctor" said Mir. Kenney. told me that if I wanted to live any length of time I would have to give up work altogether. and he told my friends that the paralysis which had begun would in time involve my whole body"
 Just how were you afflicted at this time?" MT. Kenney was asked.
 Well. I had first hot, and then cold and clammy feelings. and at times my body felt as if needles were being stuck into 1t. These sensations were followed by terrible pains. and again would have no feeling at all, but a numbness would come over me. and would not be able to move. The most agonizing torture came from headacnes and a pain in the region of my spine.
 Were you able to sleep?"
 No. That was one of the worst features of my case. Night after night could not get any natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of the torturing pains ana the HRect of the opiates I was forced to take to induce sleep. As I look back on the terrible suffering endured du- ring this period I often wonder how ] retained my reason through it all.
 Have you got rid of all these troubles?'
 Yes, indeed, I am entirely rid of them, and am daily working at my trade as a hat finisher. but relief came from an unexpected quarter. My help came from pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I read one day in a pa- per an account of a case like mine which had been cured by these won derful pills for the blood and nerves. bought box and began to take them. The very first box seemed to help me. and seven boxes made me entirely well. There can be no doubt about the thor oughness of my cure. for I have work ed steadily ever since and that Is near 1y four years.'
 MT. Kenney Is ait present employed by the Merrimac Hat Company and re- sides at 101 Aubin Street. Amesbury. Mass. The remedy which he used with such satisfactory results. is sold by all druggists throughout the world. and is offered as a specific for all ner- vous troubles. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured neuralgia, nervous prostration, St. Vitus' dance. partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. as well as common ailments such as head aches. insomnia and debility.

rNDUsTRIAL AGENT HENDERSON
 GIVES OUT AN INTERVIEW.
9overpment Omcfal Recommends Gravel Found Along the Alabama and the Tombigbee as Top
 Dressing for Roads.
! Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, September Is

Advertiser Bureau, Mobile. September Is. ". L. Henderson, Land and Indus trial Agent of the Mobile and Ohio and Southern Railway companies. returned this morning from an extended busi- ness trip into the interior. Mir. Hen- derson during his location in Mobile. has established many colonies in this and adjoining counties and along the lines of the railroads he represents. Mir. Henderson is greatly interested in good roads. and this morning said:
 Tt will no doubt be interesting to the public to know that the represen- tative of the National Good Roads As sociation will conduct vigorous good roads campaign in the South during the! present year. and in Alabama es- pecially.
 Tt will also be Interesting to note that Martin DodEe. Director of the Good Roads once. Department of Az riculture. Washington. D. C., advises that recent investigations are such that he will recommend that the gravel found along the Tombigbee and Ala bama rivers be used for top dressing on public highways.
 roo much can not be said in praise of those who are engaged in this work and of those who have contributed so liberally in making practical demon- strations of good road building throughout the South. The question of good roads Is one of great import ance. Already a number of counties in the State have caught the spirit and have built good roads. and the County of Sumter has a large force of men, teams and improved machinery at work on its public highways. Wherever good roads have been built property adjacent has advanced more than 100 per cent" f.'
 Mir. Henderson, in conclusion, said he hoped South Alabama would give more attention to improving the public roads. To the credit of this County. however, he said. the ReOnue and RoaG Commissioners have done much towards giving the people good, sub- stantial highways of travel. through a liberal use of oyster shells, from can ming factories. With the use of gravel these roads can be made as substantial as concrete roadways.
