Good Advice About Tobacco.

From the Chicago Chronic't.
rhcte Is ono man al least 10 this coun-
try who has never used tobacco In any
form and who Is not only regarded by
millions OF people as an Ideal man In his
person ana accomplishments but mas
achieved ;he very greatest success open
and possible TO an American citizen. That
is, he has risen to be the President OF the
American Republic the greatest Govern
ment upon which tho sun ever shone.
The occasion Is opportuno 70 say TO
young men with reference to this habit
that without indulgins IA amy extrava-
CANT or fanatlcal denunclaton whatever
it Is a yoke OF bondage which no young
man should place on his own neck. 1t IS
extremely expensive, Il Is extremely IN
convenient, il puts a person on a level
many times with extremely disagreeabie
people and Il sometimes makes ones per-
son extremely offensive to people whose
friendship IS valuable. A young man would
do "a wise thing 20 initiate President
Ro0scvelts example.
There is not a smoker or a chcwer in
the city who would advise "a young man

Dynamitina suildinas.

From Engineering News.
The experience IN dynamlting build
ings, both at Baltimore and Toronto.
indicates that it Is not only a useless
procedure but a positively dangerous
one. I'm both cities the effect Of the
explosions on the ruined buildings was
simply TO produce a heap OF wreclSage
which could not be mounted by the
nremen ana which was scarcely less
combustible than the original building.
while the gap placed I'm the path Of the
tiames was so narrow that it was cas-
ily leaped by the FIRE
Such happenings as this are OF course
chargeable solely to unwlse direction
Of the work. but they are certain TO
occur In the excitement and panic OF
losing battle against a conhagration.
At best, dynamlting is a dangerous and
uncertain means OF fighting fire unless
il has been much maligned by the ex-
perience at Baltimore and Toronto. and
heads Of fire departments viii act
wisely II they strike It Off their list Of
I iire-hghting methods.

slsters. seldom were the police ana
the church officials able to supply any
formation that would give these anx-
ious inquirers even a ray Of hope.
Dead wagons coursed through the
streets, distributing bodies that had
been identified in the morgues, police
stations or on North Brother island.
Some carried as many as six bodies at
a time. From door to door they went.
distributing their grim burdens. Crowds
followed these vehicles in their slow
progress as they unloaded upon fami-
ly after family their need of the wide
spread grief. Out to the streets from
houses came the sobs and exclamations
Of anguish of those who had been wait
ing for hours to receive those dear TO

Aid From Many Sources.
Solemn visaged men, red eyed women
and grave faced children marched
within the iron fence in front of St
Marks church, laid down their contri-
buttons to the fund to mitigate the
financial sufferings Of those who had
been bereaved and withdrew. Some Of
these contributions were checks for
s100 apiece, others were the nickels
Of school children.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion Of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure deafness. and ahat
IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an innamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF The Eustachian Tube.
When this tube IS infamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing. and
when Il is entirely closed. Deafness rs
the result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten

A CHANCE oF VIEW.

Eight years ago at the Republican
National Convention the chairman Of
the committee ON credentials reported:
"A majority Of the National Com
mittee believe Addioks and his part
ners are hshwaymen on the way to
political fortune"
IN another part Of the report occur
these words:
"The delegates headed by Addieks
DO not represent the Republicans Of
Delaware or anywhere else"
The recognition Of the Addicks dele
gates yesterday, then, shows conolu-
sively that either the nature of the Ma
tional Committee has changed or it
has revised it's estimate Of Addicks
Yet TO the unbiased man Addicks has
become more obnoxious year by year.
In his financial transactions, as a figure
in society and as politician he has
Invariably illustrated qualities and
ideals which should place him beyond
the pale Of recognition.
Eight years ago Addicks was re-
garded as a political "highwayman."
He is stin q hghwayman but he has
been successful in getting votes The
burglar is to be despised until he sue
oeeds. RaisulI deserves commendation
because he has gotten his captive safe
in the mountain Businesses.
The matter now comes before the
committee on credentials when the
whole case win be gone over again.
That committee will say whether the
odium Of recognizing Addiclxs and Ad-
dicksism. with fun understanding OF
what Il means, shall attach to the ma
tional party. It is a question Of greater
concern to the national leaders than il
is to the Delaware Republicans.

The RritIsh Armv.
! The london stalist.

From the London Statist.
The Japanese have clearly solved the
very dihcult problem how to provide
a great army with thoroughly trained
professional officers. For the japanese
have a great army. the war strength
being about 100000 men. In the south
African campaign our great defect was
in our officers. Their courage was an
that could be desired. But they were
utterly wanting in technical know
ledge. The report OF the commission
on the war makes that perfectly clear.
And though everybody admits as much,
and everybody agrees that we require
trained body Of professional officers
nothing has been done 10 convince the
country that We are in the way even
yet of obtaining such a body.

THE AFTERMATH.

The destruction of the General slo-
cum and the terrible loss Of life has
saddened the whole country. When
brave men die in battle il is laid to the
fortunes Of war, but when children on
their holiday outing. bent on merry
making meet a fate like this the pathos
Of It all Is beyond human expression.
There Is such a thing as presenting
the details OF a story too wildly and
It strikes us that there are narrowing
details which the New York papers
could have omitted. The pictures
which illustrate certain of these arti-
cles cause us to shudder and they can
serve no good purpose
Efforts are being made by the local
officials and by the national govern
ment to fix the responsibility, and many
suggestions are made to safeguard
passenger traffic on excursion steamers
IN the future. Whether the captain
used the best judgment or not IL view
.of the calamity, he is certain to be
.censured. But there is no doubt that
in the sudden emergency he had to act
quickly and he used his best Judgment.
The trouble probably is that these
boats are built along lines that should
long ago have been abandoned. Sea b
going vessels often have fires. but un-
der modern methods Of construction.

themselves out, without endangering
