Physicians Give Free Advice by Which
 Parents May Profit.
 It was an association of gentlemen. professionally physicians and chemists all of whom were born in the drug
 trade, so to speak, and who have been connected with 1t all their lives, who
 first gave to the world Castoria, which
 as every one knows Is a pleasant and
 effective remedy for the ailments of in-
 fants and children. It has always been
 recognized as a meritorious prepara-
 tion, and its reward has been tho
 greatest popularity ever enjoyed by
 any remedy ever put upon the market:
 attained, not by flamboant advertising
 or appeals to ignorance or vulgar pre-
 judice, but by inherent merit. All
 physicians recommend it, and many.
 very many. prescribe it.
 Many parents call in the family
 physician. Many other parents take advantage of what the physician told them when he was first called in con- sultation. All good family physicians say: Give tho children Castoria." Healthy parents know this remedy of old, for they took 1t themselves as chil- dren. 1t was more than thirty years ago that Castoria made a place for It. self in the household. It bore the sig rature of Charles H. Fletcher then, as IL QOeS JOQdy. lHo ID ilS guarantee, which is accepted in thou sands of homes where there are chill dren.
 Much is printed nowadays about big | families Dr. William I. McCann of Omaha, Neb.. is the father of one of these much-read- about families. Here | Is what he says:
 "As the father Of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine. and aside from my own | family experience I have. in my years | of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every | home."
 Charles H Fletcher has received | hundreds of letters from prominent physicians who have the same esteem | for Castoria that pr. McCann has. Not only do these physicians say they use Castoria in their own families, but | they prescribe it for their patients. First of all 1t Is a vegetable prepara-
 ton which assimilates the food and regulates the stomach and bowels Af 1 ter eating comes sleeping. and Castoria looks out for that too. It allays fever | ishness and prevents loss of sleep. and | this absolutely without the use of | opium, morphine or other baneful nar- | cotic.
 Medical journals are reluctant to dis cuss proprietary medicines. Hall s | Journal of Health, however says: Our duty is to expose danger and record | the means for advancing health. The | day for poisoning innocent children | through greed or ignorance ought to | end. To our knowledge Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health by regulating the system. not | by stupefying 1t. and our readers are | entitled to the information" Adv.

titude of droll defiance, Cecily theatric- ally delivered this comment: Incon- sistent woman, is 1t wonder thou art growing old and still unmated? By St. Denis, the chevalier is an animated book of axioms, a cyclopedia whose pages are in constant turning. l am dumb in his presence. But as an ang- Ter, The chevalier a fisherman! Would he not realize the spectacle of his own Guyet:

 Sue tried to smile, but the effort was too much for her. She retaliated that at least the chevalier had the depth which was lacking in Benton.
 Cecily saucily replied that profundity could not replace the spirit of youth.
 The incident was brought to a close by another lecture from Sir William subduing discussion of their fellow passengers and suggesting that there were social laws to be observed in mak- ing acquaintances.
 
 daughters were in town making Christ mas purchases. At the home of a rel ative they learned that a delightful acquaintance" recently formed through a favorite of the family in the Ameri- can Embassy, had fairly haunted the house when casually advised of the Braddock relationship. He will be here tonight and he is to bring a fel- low-voyageur." was a piece of infor- nation arousing mixed feelings in the girls.
 Sue wondered what Daddy" would say. Cecily, profiting by the wealth of expression she had obtained in Amer lea, whispered the situation in a few words: Sister, 1t appears to be up to us"
 Benton was the established visitor the chevalier the contemplated addi- 1 ton.
 Did he say he knew us?" asked Ce- ely.

 The Braddock girls were radiant al dinner that night and the hostess and her family were delighted with their new acquaintances As on offset the new acquaintances appeared equally de- lighted. In the drawing room Benton engaged Sue in conversation, to the exclusion of a staff officer who fumed ] over what he considered an ungracious preference. Benton was in paradise and looked 1t. He had no thought of relinquishing Sue to the guardsman In multi and she was a picture of con- | tentment. The guardsman retired ir open order and Benton had the field. l The conversation had not proceeded far and Sue was finding much pleasure in an entertaining analysis of the diff | ference between London and New York whe Benton lowered his voice to say T fear I'm blunt kind of a fellow with, out the polish to which you are accus toned. May I call you Cecily?" Sues merry glance would have de. ceived her father into calling her Ce. | ely at that moment. You may if f pleases you. but I am not Cecily," sh, replied.

A REPUBLICAN VIEW.
As to the Value of Using n Pencil at
 the Polls.

Washington Post.
 Time deals kindly with that highly esteemed gentleman, Maj. William Warner, of Missouri, who Is stopping at the Arlington. for he looks every whit as vigorous and scarcely any older than when he was q Representa- tive in Congress years ago.
 In response to a Postman's ques- tioning, Maj. Warner said: 'Whether or not Missouri shall remain in the Republican column depends entirely on the conduct of that party, now that it has been given control of the State government If its course should be marked by a wise and decent adminis- tration, it is highly probable that the Republicans will have long tenure of power At all events, the State is now placed in the doubtful list"
 What really caused Democratic dis aster in Missouri?'
 The popularity of Roosevelt and the dissatisfaction of the followers of Bryan. These were the two great fac tors. The Bryan men could not be forced to take the gold cure through the medium of electricity. The cleo tion of Folk was no surprise, and in his election. as in that of Douglas in Massachusetts, there is a lesson, which the American people have taken to heart. and that is the virtue that plies In a pencil. The day of the ticket scrat- cher has come to stay, and his presence is a salutary thing in out national life"

A OLD PIONEER DEAD.
The First to Make Pig Iron in Ala
 hnma.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The old Pioneers are fast passing away" remarked an old citizen of Jef- ferson county yesterday But what q debt of gratitude the present genera tion owes them.
 "On Sunday Thomas Kimball, the old est and first maker of pig iron in Ala bama, died and went to his reward. His demise occurred at his home twelve miles east of Green Pond in Tuscaloosa county, on the rippling waters of the Cahaba river. He was nearly one hun dred years old before his Master called him.
 T knew Thomas Kimball when I was but a boy, and I always recognizeed him as a real leader--a pioneer in material development. I remember when he made pig iron by crude method at the old Tannehill or Sanders furnace. near the Goethite mines, now owned by the Re- public Iron and Steel company. That was long before the war.
 During the war guns for the Con federate army were made of Thomas Kimbalrs pig iron at the Peacock Iron Works in Selma
 MT. Kimball was an uncle of Alder man Walker Moore of this city, and has many other relatives tn this county"

 Senator Lee S. Overman. of North Carolina, is at the Riggs House. and in his usual cheery and philosophic style talked of the situation. as viewed from the standpoint of an intelligent and conservative Southerner.
 Really" he said, T haven't much to say except that in my State the peo- pie are so prosperous and so intent on developing the native resources and on banishing illiteracy from every com munity that they have almost forgotten there had been an election. But they have nothing to despair about anyway. These great political victories can't always be on one side. Back in 1885, through the union of Republican and Populists, there were only five Demo- crats in the North Carolina Senate. and but twenty-five members In the House. This condition was but temporary. ana pretty soon we had redeemed the State. So think the victory of the Republt- cans in the nation will plague the party by reason of its very magnitude. Their

Canine Detectives.

The Cecil Democrat, in its issue Of last
week, advocates the employment Of blood
hounds in ferreting out criminals and their
employment for that purpose at each OF the
county jails of the State The following ex.
tracts from the article on this subject will
be read with interest:
The frequency with which crime is com.
mitted and the p rpetrator escapes Is too
we'll known to need more than reference to
establish It. Thefts, arson, murder, In fact
all grades, classes and kinds of crime are
daily committed in spite of the most strin-
gent laws and the most vigilant constabu.
larry. This condition will exist so long as
human nature-or more properly speaking
brute nature-is as 1t is. No amount of
legislation or punishment will alter it, and
the utmost efforts Of society will not pre-
vent 1t.
The next best thing is to be prepared to
apprehend the criminal as speedily as posi-.
BILE, and to that end 1t would be an excellent
thing to equip each county Jail 10 the State
with brace of trained bloodhounds.
We recognize that there is popular pre-.
judice to the use of bloodhounds, due TO that
damnable production "Uncle Toms Cabin"
but 1t should not stand In the way of their
employment. They could be kept at the
Jail with trifiing cost and when crime had
been committed they could be taken To the
scene In short time, put upon the trail
while 1t was yet warm and in most cases
would soon tree their quarry.
A few months ago one Of the States most
conspicuous citizens was murdered on the
outskirts of Elkton. Within few minutes
afterward hunt for the assassin was in.
augurated. For weeks this was kept up.
The best detective talent was employed and
every citizen 10 the community was watch
ful for some clue that might reveal the
identity of the murderer or his whereabouts
Finally two negroes were arrested and have
just been indicted by the grand jury and
will be tried for the crime. Whe Their they
are guilty or innocent that trial must decide
There Is nothing barbsrous about the
and we believe II 1t were given
careful confederation there would be found
much to recommend 1t.

No Fear Of Tax Exemption.

Attorney General William Shepard Bry-
an, Jr., on Tuesday, in an official opinion
sent to Governor Warneld, decided that the
point raised by State Treasurer Murray Van
diver at the meeting Of the Board Of Public
Works last week in Annapolis that the sale
of the States interest in the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal at this time might enable the
purchaser TO construct and operate q railroad
In the corpus Of the canal that would be ex-
empt from taxation for all time is ground
less and not to be feared in case the sale is
made to the Western Maryland Railroad
Company.
Mr. Bryan clearly shows that under the
Constitution of the State, as amended in
1890, II at any time after November 3, 1891,
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
should obtain any amendment of its charter
giving 1t any rights and powers which it
did not possess at the time the amendment
to the Constitu ton was adopted the effect
would be to entirely destroy the canal com.
pany's exemption from taxation. After
diligent search Mr.. Bryan processes his in
ability to find that at any time the right has
been given the canal company by the Legls.
lature to operate a railway or to engage In
any other business not directly connected
with the canal.
This being established, Mr.. Bryan gives
1t as his view that there is no reason at all
for believing that the condition feared by
Mr.. Vand;ver may came to pass, but in order
that there may not be the slightest ground
for apprehension that any purchaser OF the
States interest may pay off the liens on the
canal and operate railroad on the canal
property under the canal company charter
he suggests that the proposition made by
Mr.. F. 8. Landstreet, representing the high
est bidder for the canal, to execute any
paper the States officers might desire, agree
ing to waive on the part of the Western
Maryland Railroad or Its assigns Of any pos
sibe right of exemption from taxation Of any
canal property acquired for railroad pur.
poses would eliminate all doubt on the sub.
ject.
Mr.. Bryan suggests that clause might
easily be inserted in the assignment Of the
States interest making the transfer void un.
less by certain date the purchaser shall
cause to be passed resolution at general
meeting of the stockholders Of the canal
company waving any exemption from tax
alton.
