A VALUABLE LOVE LETTER,

Keats was not a very noble char

OF consumption at rs. His little span
of life knew more weeping than fight

deathless words the universal feelings

NIGHT SHIRTS LIFE SAVERS.
From the American Inventor.


Passengers on ocean liners may soon
be able to sleep in life preservers, ac-
cording to the plans Of f. Salvador.
a New York inventor. To sleep with
a cork Jacket on is out OF the ques-
tion, so the inventor decided to make
a preserver that would become effec-
tive only by IL coming in contact with
the water. II works on the principle
OF water generated gas, which fills
a belt and gives il buoyancy. URin-
fiated, the belt Is a light thing, which
would hardly be felt II worn by a
sleeper. but when filled with gas IL Is
blown up TO the size OF an ordinary
cork Jacket. The belt IL made of rub
Der and IL about eight inches wide ana
can be blown up by means OF a small
cylinder. In this cylinder is placed a
composition Of acids which when act
ed upon by water instantly initiates the
belt. The belt has been tested in the
ocean and II has been found that the
water acts upon the acids and initiates
the rubber In less than three seconds.
The ingredients IN this composition, Mr.
Salvador keeps secret.

why the Preacher OBJECTED.

A story of an eccentric Wesleyan
minister is too good for the 'rasure
of oblivion" says the London Tele-
graph. One Sunday he caused some
surprise by declaring that he did not
in the least object to people sleeping
while he was preaching.
A few minutes later he and his
hearers were disturbed by the loud
snoring of a man just below the pull
pit. Give MIN a tap on the head"
said the minister. This was done, in
effectually. "Give him another" came
the order again. Still the man slum-
bered. But at length. by dint Of
much tapping and shaking, he was re-
called into abashed consciousness.
You are making a wretched noise"
roared the minister. leaning over the
pulpit edge. II don't mind your sleep
ing, but you are preventing other
people from sleeping"

FORT soREvEN AND ITs SOLDIERS

1t is a source of pleasure to us TO
remark upon the very kindly feeling
existing between the soldiers of Fort
Screven and the residents of the city.
There is probably not an army post in
the country that is in closer touch and
sympathy with the civilian communi-
ty than that at Fort Screven. The neo-
pie have come to regard the several
companies of artillery stationed there
almost as they do the State Troops
of the same branch Of the service. and
in the several parades that the regu-
lars and the State Troops have par
ticipated in together about the only
difference that could be distinguish
ed between them was due almost en-
tirely to the more thorough training
Of the regulars.
American soldiers and sailors" as
distinguished statesman said re-
Gently, ARE American citizens in un-
iform;" and that is as true OF the reg
ulars as it is Of the volunteers. In
the ranks OF the former, as I'm the lat
ter, are to be found men of the same
classes. The hlgh-spirited college
boy is as apt to enlist in the regular
army as in the militia. United States
soldiers are no longer Yankees to
Southern men, but fellow citizens
whom all are pleased to recognize and
honor No one could feel otherwise
than proud of the fine showing made

ion OF the artillery corps from Fort

Lieut.. Col. Anderson and his staff, at
the head. On their dismissal after
the parade the gentlemanly deport-
ment OF the men during the afternoon
and evening was remarked by all OBJ
servers.
Fort Screven is really a part OF sa-
vannah, and its officers and men are
our esteemed fellow citizens. What
ever the people OF Savannah can do
for the fort and its brave garrison
win always be done most willingly
and cheerfuily.

After a silence that has lasted dur
ing the entire campaign President
Roosevelt breaks forth and in the
course Of an open letter exclaims We
ask all honest men whether they Sc
riously deem IT possible that the
course this administration has taken

Securities suit to the settlement OF the
anthracite coal strike is compatible
with any theory of public behavior
save the theory Of doing exact justice
to all men without fear and without
favoritism." An honest man" might
admit what the President asks in the
two cases mentioned above had he not
vitiated the effect of the first by the
assurance that the government did not
intend running amuck" and laid the
second open to question by his conduct
during the Colorado struggle. AS It is,

THE PASSING OF THE MOTHER.

<ASoAA0 vi I'M nv
The newspapers of the principal cities
| of the nation have been calling at
tention to a large increase in the de-
mand for ehildrens nurses. Some
have pointed to this with a seeming
exultancy as the opening of a field for
womans hands, recognizing that the
| touch of the woman is necessary In
the rearing of mankind. AS a result
it has been seriously advocated that
the young women who intend to be
self-supporting should take up the work
Of embarrassing as an employment
| that is pleasant, remunerative and far
reaching in its results.
On the other hand the demand has
a serious side, a side that is more a
subject for alarm than of satisfaction.
The need of nurse for the children
means in most cases that the mother
feels her time can be better engaged
in some calling other than caring for
her offspring. 1t indicates d desire to
shift the cares incident to motherhood
to the shoulders of another. It por-
tends the passing of the mother and
such portension augurs ill to future
generations.
In lasting results the child reared by
its mother-even though she be en-
tirely ignorant of the principles of
modern scientific child-rearing''-ha
an infinite advantage over the nurse
fostered child. Into the life of the
former has come a subtle touch the lat
ter never knew. The little one learns
at the mothers knee lessons born Of
a tenderness foreign to the best of
nurses. His nature is softened and bet
tered through its contact with the faith,
sweetness, and holiness of mother
hood. Heart-hurts and body-b bruises
are for him healed with a kiss and
he early learns where his tale of chill
dish woe will find relief in an I'M
Outstanding sympathy springing from
love as boundless as the universe.
These lessons are lasting and imper-
ceptibly mould characters into their
fullest capabilities. Innumerable ex-
amples testify to it. The greatest men
OF every nation have given the credit
for their greatness to their mothers.
The very name revivifies the best SEN
timents of the race. The hottest and
dearest memories cluster about the
days spent with mother and the most
precious treasures are those little
things-valueless in themseIves-which
she had priced.
The child reared by a nurse misses
these elements. Too often a harsh
word from his care -taker shocks the
developing soul and lack of UNDER
standing blunts the growth of a bud
ding mighty purpose. In later years
and In times of temptation he has no
memories of the mother and her faith
to fall back on to strengthen him for
the struggle. Cold. philosophic, ethics
are less stable than the ethics,-blind
perhaps-that had their birth in the
earnest teaching of the mother-loye
The child fostered by the nurse has
missed one of the sweetest things in
life, lost one of the great uplifting
powers Of humanity. And so, for the
sake of the after years and the mem
cries they will bear, it would be in
finitely better if motherhood were to
refuse to abdicate to nursehood.

In regard to the election of teachers,
board member stated this morning
that elections would be held about
the usual time, just few days after
the close OF schools in June. and in
plenty Of time to enable those who
desire to go to normal schools the as
surance Of their positions next year
before leaving the city. There will
be two examinations for certificates
held, one in June and one in August
The latter examination is held In
order to enable the teachers desiring
to better their certificate and get a
bigger salary, to take the examination
before the opening of school.
The plan projected and adopted
last night at the meeting by which
teachers will be paid according to the
standard Of their certificate, meets
with the approval OF all. "we have
no bad teachers, Superintendent Lieb
stated this morning, "but you must
know that some are better than others
and for the more ambitious, the plan
will meet with their heartiest APP
prevail The plan will infuse into the
teachers much ambition and stimulate
them to improve. In this way the
teaching will advance and the result
be better"

Conference Held at Washington and
Speaker Cannon Urged to
Run.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM GIVEN

Washington, May 3-There is every
indication that Leslie NJ. Shaw and
Joseph G.. Cannon have been forced
into realization of the fact that one
or the other will be nominated for
vice president at Chicago in July.
Early last week the Republican
leaders seemed to have como TO a
realization that the candidacy of SEN
stor Fairbanks OF Indiana for Woe
president was lacking in some ele-
ments OF strength. through the in
activity OF Mr.. Fairbanks himself. So,
in spite of the repeated declarations OF
Mr.. Cannon that he would not accept
the nomination, but would rise in the
convention and decline it, his name
was brought out again, and IL was re-
ceived with even greater favor than
when il was first mentioned. At the
same time, here was renewed talk Of
nominating Leslie NJ. Shaw, OF Iowa,
secretary Of the treasury. There was
so much talk in inner circles about
these two men that, Saturday after.
noon, Mr.. Cannon and Mr. Shsw had
a long conference at the treasury de-
partment regarding the vice presi-
Dental nomination, and IL was dis
covered that Mr.. Shaw disliked the
idea of accepting the nomination al
most as strongly as does Mr.. Can.
non. This conference was followed
by one at the White House.
II has been made plain to Speaker
Cannon that not only did the presi.
dent very much desire his nomination.
but that IL was call 10 duty to which
he must respond. The report further
adds that the speaker has taken the
matter under advisemen, and will give
his decision later.
The situation in Illinois is largely
responsible for the repeated use OF the
speakers name in connection with
the vice presidency. "Uncle Joe, it
is thought, could hsrmonize all ele-
ments of the party in his state as no
other man could.
President Roosevelt said TO the Re.
publican leaders who went to the
White House that the platform must
be Short, incisive, decisive. precise
and concise"
There were present Senators Aid
rich, Allison, Lodge, Spooner, Hale
and Platt of Connecticut; Speaker
Cannon, Representative Hemenwsy,
ohsirmsn of the appropriations com
mittee, and Secretary Cortelyou.
Senator Lodge, who is to be chairman
of the committee on resolutions at the
Republican national convention, had
draft of platform with him. IL
was gone over paragraph by paragraph.

the time; il was decided there shall
be no recession from the Republican

Board of Education to Dispose
{ of 1t and Build New School.
Superintendent Lieb Expects TO Ac-
complish Much For the Schools
This Year.
TEACHERS ARE ALL PLACED

The board of education has decided
to sell the school building at Fifth
and Kentucky streets and invest the
money in school building in . local.
ity where it Is needed more. Since
the building was erected years age
the property has become very valu-
able, and will doubtless bring a good
price. The building of the new school
on West Broadway has diverted much
of the attendance from this school al
Fifth and Kentucky TO West Broad
way, leaving practically no necessity
for the big building.
There arc schools badly needed on
both the North and South Sides, and
it is probable that some of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the building in
question will be used to give the peo-
pie in the more remote sections of the
city the school facilities they so badly
need.

Iu regard to electing a successor {,
Trustee McFadden who resigned, il
was suggested in the board last nigh
and the suggestion approved, thai
Trustee Joe Madison name the sue
cessor. Mr.. Mattisoa has offered nc
choice yet. Mr.. L. e. Bell is favor
ably spoken of as "a possible successor.
The legislative committee appointed
by the board last night will have a
great deal of work on its hands.
Superintendent Lieb not having
lived long in the oity and state. has
not become familiar with the law. For
instance in some states the school
boards are allowed to contract and
discharge debts without putting il to
vote, but this has not been decided
here. The board is not in need of any
money at the present, but such mat.
tiers should be clearly understooi.
superintendent Lieb stated.
The legislative committee will up.
pear before the council and attempt to
secure the opening of George street
for the benefit of many school children
attending the Franklin building who
now have to walk many blocks out Of
the way. Also TO attempt to secure
the opening of 18th street. at Hunting
ton Row where many hundred pupils
will be benefited. In the opening of
George street the committee will urge
the municipal bodies TO place bridge
across Cross Greek. Another item to
be urged is the extension OF sewer rage
to the High school. This will be
pressed by tho committee
and the school authorities will at.
tempt to have the sewerage in by Sep
TENDER
The committee will also have under
charge the disposition of the Longfel-
low building at Fifth and Kentucky
avenue. This building is of little
value bat of great COM
mercial value, and il has been sug-
gested that the building be sold, the
sale bringing enough to build much
larger and more modern school in
some locality where it is needed more.
The committee was instructed to place
this matter in the hands Of q real es-
tate agency and If sold to vaoate it
June, 1905, giving the board one
year TO build another house. while at
the same time the school will continue
at the Longfellow building.
