FINDS PORTRAIT OF
SECRETARY BADGER
Oil Painting of Former Head of the Navy Only Likeness
Extant of North Carolina Statesman.

Covered with cobwebs ano dust and
cracked with age. a portrait Of George
E. Badger, Secretary Of tn Navy in
1871. was discovered in a remote corner
of a lumber room at the Naval Academy
last week by superintendent Charles
w. Stewart, of the Naval War Records
Office and Library.
For years Mr.. Stewart and other Navy
Department officials have been search
ing for a picture OF Mr.. Badger When
the history of North Carolina was
written a few years ago no portrait
could be found for use in the volume.
There were no records to show that
the Navy Department or the Naval
Academy had ever had an oil painting
Of the distinguished North Carolinian.
1t was a great surprise when the ex-
celIent portrait was found.
This morning the oil portrait was de
livered at the Navy Department by an
expressman. Secretary Morton and
other department officials expressed
pleasure with Mr.. Stewards find. The
portrait VIII be hung in the reception
room OF the Secretary of the Navy as
soon as IL is cleared and vanished
The portrait is far superior 10 most OF

MEASURING MEDICINE

A man went into New York drug
store and asked the clerk for a remedy
for indigestion. The clerk sifted a pink
powder into the scales
Take heaDing dimefuI Of this" ne
said. 1T viii bring you around all
right"
The mans establishment was almost
powerful enough to drive away the in
digestion without the aid OF the pow
der.
"A dimeful?" he calculated. What
kind OF a new-fanEled system Of meas
urement Is that you have here?'
1t isn't new" replied the clerk. And
i. is very simple. Just take dime and
pile as much Of this powder on 1t as
viii stick. That will be the proper dose.
You couldn't get 1t any more exact II
you measured for halt an hour with
scales and spoons.
We'll" said the customer, this s a
new one on me" Then he proceeded to
measure cut = dose Of the pink powder
AS he did so. man standing close be-
side him sighed remlnisccnUy.
1T makes me feel young to see you
do that he said. They used TO meas
ure medicine that way when / was a
Kid. l supposed modern appliances had
driven all those old methods OF meas
urement out OF the market"
Not at all said the clerk There
are lots of places where they still take
medicine by the dImesul.'

The Roofs.

Perhaps, In some future age, when
a great and permanent city has grown
up on the site of the present Wash
ington. we shall have builders canny
and far-sighted enough to build the
houses so that the roofs can be used
for out of door sitting-rooms. There
is no reason why this should not be
done in Washington as well as In New
York 1t might have been done be-
fore now If the traditions Of this part
OF the country had not been agricul-
tural rather than urban. People who
have beautiful big cool houses on a
plantation, with great trees around
them, do not want to sit on roofs
even If they do live in a warm eli
mate. But in a southern city. the
roof-veranda is almost a necessary
adjunct TO the house.
Nobody would think of sitting on
the average Washington tin roof. even
If it is fat It would be like cooling
on on top of the kitchen range when
the fire was going out. The only
creature comfortable on a tin roof
after a hot day is a cat, and even the
cat walks gingerly sometimes.
The Washington times., 1904-09-06

the pictures the department has OF for
mer Secretaries 1t is less Photographic
than many of the old paintings in the
Office of Secretary Morton. and is
framed In excellent taste. The picture
lacks both date and the name OF the
artist
Beneath the picture OF the venerable
North CarOiinian is A plate which bears
the following information concerning his
career:
Hon. George E. Badger. Born. New
bern, \. G. 1775. Died, Raleigh, y. c.,
1856. Major in War of 1872. Judge Of
Superior Court. Secretary % Navy,
ISL. United States Senator. 1916 to 1851. o"
The portrait was painted. apparently,
when Mr. Badger was not more than
fifty years old. It shows him as a re-
marka bly, fine looking man. He is rep
resented seated in a chair in an easy
position. and the stiffness which char
acterizes the old portraits Of statesmen
gathered in Washington is lacking.
Mr.. Badger is pictured as a round
faced man. with rudy cheeks. a small
dark moustache, and large dark eyes
with a kindly expression. His dark hair
is rather long and brushed back straight
from his forehead. He wears a nigh
pointed collar with open front. His coat
IS the traditional black broadeIoth worn
by all statesmen OF his time.

has her own way in the matter. Japan
is shrewd enough TO see that if she is
to dominate the Orient, it must be by
sufferance of Occidental nations, and
she Will take exceedingly good care
to keep the doors open to merchants.
Russia cannot be counted upon to
recognize such an obligation. Japan
has in the present war shown herself
anxious to observe the spirit as well
as the letter of international agree
ments. Russia has more than once
been guilty of deliberate infraction
of international law. Nothing but the
fear of trouble with other world
powers has restrained her. The
United States must be ready and will
ing to join with its neighbors in keep
ing peace and preserving the rights
of China. This does not mean war,
but it does mean being prepared for
war, and the distinction cannot be too
generally recognized. Russia owes
US nothing. is dependent upon us for
nothing, and there is absolutely no
argument but the military argument
which we could make her recognize
as valid Her recent history has
shown that moral suasion is about
as effective in keeping her from any
thing that she wants as Buffers
Analogy would be in keeping a bear
out of a honey-pot.

The second square has sides about halt

THE FERRONNIERE

A ferronniere was a band or chain
round the head. holding a jewel in :he
center of the forehead
The last instance OF it's being in fash
ionable use was furnished by America
early In the nineteenth century. Mrs.
Earle. the historian OF transatlantic
costume. vouches for this curious sur
vival.
This ornament is known TO have been
popular in Europe in the sixteenth cen
tury. and in the east il could proba bly,
be traced back 10 remote antiquity.
Biblical students know that the Jews.
following a custom of the ancient Egyp-
tlans. often adopted this method OF
wearing their phylacteries, or frontlets.

Our Responsibility.

There has been a change in the po-
sition of the storm center in the Far
East since the beginning of the war
between Russia and Japan. 1t has
shifted from Korea to China. The
Hermit Kingdom" has ceased to be
an important factor in operations.
1t has been settled unless some start
ling change takes place in the reIa-
tive strength of Russia and Japan.
that Korea will continue to exist and
do business under the tacit or ex-
plicit protection of Japan. This was
not in Russla's plans at the outset
1t is well known that up TO the very
beginning Of the war Russian states
men were exerting influence on the
Korean government by means of Sc
cret emissaries. II is also known
that Japan was all this time pouring
settlers into Korea as fast as she
could; and Japan seems to have won.
Now Russia appears to be reaching
out for Chinese territory as a base Of
operations of one kind or another,
and here is where the responsibility
Of the United States, among the other
Powers of the world, becomes OBJ
vious.
There is not likely to be any serious
trouble in this connection. Secre-
tary Hays adroit and bold diplomacy
has been equal to situations more diff
ficult than any likely to arise in this
war. But the evident desire Of Rus
STA to intimidate China, and her equal
ly evident willingness to walk all over
neutrality laws IL there is any ad-
vantage in doing so, should make
clear to thinking Americans the
necessity of maintaining our military
strength, which. in such a situation.
can alone give force 10 our diplomacy.
The only direct interest we have In
the Far East is in the Philippines.
But with the development of Chinese
and Japanese resources there will be
opportunity for commerce. which we
cannot afford to lose. The intrepidity
and enterprise of American merchants
in the East India trade helped TO lay
the foundations of our national pros
Perity- We should not neglect our
opportunities, any more than our
forefathers neglected theirs. But in
order 70 take advantage Of this mar
ket it is necessary that the integrity
OF China should be maintained, and
that she should remain a neutral ma
ton, which she will not be If Russia
