important political announcements
seem crowding one another thick and
fast this week. Today it was stated
that Bryan is to spend ten days tour
ing Indiana, beginning Oct. -, and
that Taggart will establish Western
headquarters for the national commit
tee at French Lick The latter story
sounds as II it came direct from fairy
and. Politicians who are accus-
toned to reading all sorts of dope on
the situation were not a little sur
prfsed at the statement in morning
dispatches that French Lick is to be
the storm center for the Western pol
lt1cal battle. Dispatches last night
stated that Taggart at the request of
Judge Parker is coming to Indiana to
take charge of the campaign in hopes
OF landing the state in the Democratic
column were not surprising as it has
been suspected that events might take
such turn after the general plan of
campaign was outlined, but the idea
OF Western headqua rters being estab-
llshed at French Lick probably never
entered anyone's mind here till today.
Secretary Kelley of the state COM
mittee and other party leaders said
they never heard a word of it before.
Many of them admitted that it would
be a picturesque spot for Western
headquarters, but if Headquarters
should be located there half of them
will be ready to fall dead with sur
prise.

The announcement that Bryan is to
be in Indiana ten days forms one of
the most important and interesting
chapters Of the campaign. There has
been great demand for Bryan-prob-
ably greater than for any other man.
but Chairman Ryan Of the Democratic
speakers bureau has not made many
promises, as it was not Thought that
Bryan would spend more than four
days in the state. 1t is satt, however.
that Bryan not only likes 10 campaign
in Indiana because Of his gerat per-
osnal following, but that he is anx
ious to come this time to help his good
friend John w. Kern in his race for
governor. He will probably make
thirty speeches and every compression.
al district will probably hear from
him. 1t is problematical what effect
his trip will have. The Democrats
believe he will do world of good,
for while they are not admitting it for
publication, they will privately tell
you that some of the Democrats in
the rank and file are not in complete
harmony with the tlcket and plat
form. If Bryan can line them up sue.
cessfully he will give to the campaign
a still greater element of uncertainty.

Word received at the Democratic
state committee rooms bears out the
truth of the statement made by your
correspondent several days ago that
the Democratic national committee is
laying plans for whirlWnd finish in
Indiana. in addition to Bryan Senator
Joe Blackburn of Kentucky, Senator
w. J. Stone of Missouri and former
Governor Patterson Of Colorado are to
be sent to the state the middle Of next
month along with David B. Hill, Presi-
dent ingalls, Of the Big Four and a
half dozen other men Of national rep.
utatiOn in politics. Besides these
Taggart has sent to the committee a
list containing such men as Senator
Tillman and others who are known as
the greatest spellbinders of their day.
While Bryan is pulling his followers
together Hill, Ingalls, and others will
be talking to the gold Democrats.
Then if Taggart comes to assume
charge of things the Democratic cam

lations of the Dutch With Other Ma
tions." Sir Chentung Liang Cheng:

A letter from President Roosevelt
was read, expressing regret at his in
ability to attend.
When Sir Chentung Liang Cheng
rose to respond to the toast. THE
Friendly Relations of the Dutch With
Other Nations" he was loudly cheer
ed. Sir Chentung said in part:
Fortunately for the present day and
generation the world has advanced so
far in enlightenment and civilization
as to have other means of settling the
disputes than resort to arms. At the
same time, the nations OF the earth
nave been drawn closer together. War
at the present day not only involves
the parties strictly concerned. but also
affects the interests of other nations.
The extension of commerce has
brought about all this. 1t Is to be
hoped that the time is not far distant
when war between nations will be only
painful memory of the barbarous
past"
After James M, Beck had spoken Mr.
Bryan was introduced and was receiv-
ed with cheers. Mr.. Bryan referred
at some length to labor and the length

that more leisure time be allowed then

be disbanded at once or look for the
immediate settlement of all questions
by arbitration. The peace conference
which, by invitation of the Emperor of
Russia, convened at The Hague-the
peace conference to which our own
country has given such effective sup
port--did not announce a new discoV-
cry; 1t simply gave expression to a de-
sire that was felt. to greater or less
extent, among the more enlightened of
every nation. 1t revealed the fact that
society is at least approaching the point
where conscience will assert its SUI
premacy over the brute instinct.
There have been times when bravery
upon the battlefield was considered the
highest form of virtue. and there have
been times when intellectual force and
independence of thought have been con-
sidered all sufficient, but now heart
characteristics are beginning to be
recognized as the dominant ones.
I'VE are finding that neither the per-
fectly developed body nor the splendid
ly trained mind fills the measure of the
man or of the nation.
THE evils which afflict the body po-
litic are not due to the extraordinary
development of the material resources
of the world, but to the fact that the
moral sense has not always kept pace
with industrial expansion.

wealth nor upon the aristocracy of

After Sickness.
HOW TO REGAIN STRENGTH.
knights Pharmacy Co. Give Some
Suggestions-We VOuch for
Their Sincerity.

During the past few months there
has been a great deal of sickness of
one kind and another in Savannah,
largely induced by the recent unsea-
sonable weather.
In speaking of this to a member OF
Knights Pharmacy Co. the other day,
he said: Yes, there has been, and Is,
lot of sickness in the city, and while
most people get over the acute stage
rather quickly, ii leaves the blood i'm
poVerished, and it is hard to regain
lost vitality. The patients strength is
depleted, the system generally demor-
allied and relapses are continually
feared.
The one thing to aid recovery is to
give the patient blood building and
strength restoring tonic. one that Will
give strength to every organ in the
body.
Now, truthfully," he continued, I'VE
don't believe there is another remedy
in the country equal to our delicious
cod liver oil preparation. Vinol, for
making rich, red blood, and building
up strength. We say this from an in
innate knowledge of almost every
medicine on the market, and after
duly considering what Vinol is, and
has done.
"Vinol contains every one of the
body building, medicinal elements Of
cod liver oil. without one drop of oil
to retard it's work and this with
organic iron, which is a needful con-
stituent for the blood, dissolved in
delicious table wine, makes Vinol. 1t
acts directly on the stomach, creates
a healthy appetite, and enables the
digestive organs to obtain the neces-
sary elements to make rich, red blood,
healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and
create strength. and you know what
| you are taking"
Such letters as this prove the value
of Vinol after sickness"
Mr.. Edger A. Howe of Concord, N.
H., writes that after being confined
| to his bed for thirteen weeks with
| the grippe he was weak and emaci-
ated, all tonics seemed of no avail. but
| Vinol restored, in a marvellous man
ner, his strength flesh and appetite.
| Mrs. G. II. Wardwell of Lynn, Mass
writes that the measles left her little
daughter with cough and in a very
| bad condition, but Vinol cured the
| cough and made her well.
Mr.. John Emerson of Bangor Mes
writes that after grippe, at seventy
years of age, Vinol built up his
strength and gave him new life.
! Mr.. James Stewart of Pittsburg, Pa,
writes that after a severe fever he
was weak and emaciated. but Vinol
built him up. made him strong and
well.
IT might go on quoting from hun
dreds of such letters" he continued.
You see no one need take our word
for what Vinol win do. and 1t is be-
cause of such proof that we solemn
" agree that If 1t does no good
where it is recommended that it shall
not cost a penny That's fair. isn't Ii ?''

Cleveland, o., Jan. 21.-Half the au-
dience In the Star Theater left the
building this afternoon during a mat
inee performance, because OF fear of
fire which had broke out next door,
and which was sending smoke into the
theater gallery and downstairs. There
was really no danger. but there was
considerable excitement when the
smoke began to pour into the interior
of the theater. A theatrical attend
ant took his place In the middle of the
orchestra circle, and knowing that the
fire was a minor one. insisted upon the
audience remaining quiet. The per-
formance continued as if nothing un-
usual had happened.

TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES
Considered at Hearing Before n
Senate Committee.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Senate
Committee on Philippines gave a hear
ing to-day on Senator Frye's bill ex-
tending the coastwise laws of the
United States to the trade with the
Philippines so that all commerce be-
tween the islands and the United
States shall be carried by American
vessels.
Representatives of hemp and cordage
interests appeared against the meas
ure: saying the bill menaced their
trade. Mr.. Bullitt, of the Pocahontas
Coal Company of Philadelphia, said
the shipping between the United
States and the Philippines was now
confined almost exclusively to tramp
steamers. He was of the opinion that
the cost of operating foreign vessels
was so much less than operating
American vessels that it would be nee
essary to pay a bounty to American
vessels which engaged in Philippine
trade
Other vessel men declared American
shipping was amply able to take care
of the Philippine trade.

A MAN WITHOUT EYELIDs.
OnlctnI I'm Minnesota Sleeps While
He Is Apparently Awake.

cTOHl tne minneapolis journal.
There is in Minneapolis a man who
has not closed his eyes in twenty-fiv
years. He is compelled to sleep with
his eyes wide open, for he could not
close them If he tried. He is Fred A.
George, assistant county surveyor of
Hennepin county. In spite of his
misfortune fate has in a measure dealt
kindly with him, for he is the only
man now living of the nineteen who
were working in the flour mills on the
night of May 2, 1878, when the terrible
mill explosion sent eighteen lives into
eternity in one breath.
Twenty-Five years have elapsed since
this terrible catastrophe, but it still
stands without parallel in the mill
ing industry. AS general thing Mr.
George is very reticent about making
any references to the mill explosion,
but this morning he said:
