ANTiPROFANITY CLUB.
Society Formed by Students OF
Columbia University.

Novel Organization Declares Its
Members Shall Not BE More EN-
phatfc - "FudEe" Is Permtssibie'
Fine Schedule Calls For One Cent
a Profane word if Spoken and Hall
a Cent if Thought.
thinkers dam" is the limit to which
Columbia university students who have
organized an antiswearing society are
allowed to indulge themselves without
paying a penalty, says the New York
Herald. Being wise in their genera
ton. the young men have learned that
mot worth a tinker's DAM" for in-
stance, is legitimate expression,
though its origin runs back to the days
when travelling tinkers, ignorant of the
use of rosin in soldering holes in tin
ware, used dam of dough to keep the
solder from running. Nothing was
known more useless after it had thus
been baked than the little dam OF
dough.
But, if any member of the society
should so far forget himself as to leave
off the prefix to the expression, alas for
his standing in the student commu-
nifty! One cent is the fine for each pro
fame word uttered in the presence OF
witnesses, whereas for similar word
thought but unspoken, the fine is but
half of that amount.
That is the penalty for the more or
binary classes of profanity. For more
heinous expressions the fines run up
as high as ) cents for each offense.
There is also class of expressions
which are included within the sex
empt" class. Fudge" is permissible,
and darn" is merely frowned upon.
1t is among the editors of the Spec
tator, the student publication, that the
antiprofanity club had its inspiration.
Among those who have already joined
the organization is Donald Goldman
Brace, who is chairman of the com
mittee which prepared the schedule of
fines.
One of the bylaws of the club pro
vides penalties for knocking" as well
as swearing, and there is a movement
on foot to increase the amount of fines
for speaking i'll of others, as ma
iority of the clubs members are in
clined to think this a more serious Of
Tense even than profanity.
How far the club shall carry its cru
SADIE is a matter yet to be determined.
When Randolph Guggenheimer was
president of the board of aldermen he
fathered a resolution to make profanity
punishable as a misdemeanor, but AL
derman Mccall, the Tammany leader,
in an indignant protest succeeded in
defeating the resolution.
Another question to be determined Is
whether the club shall join national
organization formed awhile ago by the
Rev. Roland D.. Sawyer at Hanson,
Mass Some Of the more enthusiastic
of the members hope that the club may
be made to form the nucleus of another
great college fraternity, with which the
clubs organized in various New Jersey
towns shall be allied.
Other members are more deeply in
terested in the effect the antiswearing
movement may have on the athletic
status of Columbia. They point to the
statement of former president of the
American Amateur Athletic union that
swearing is a considerable hindrance
to athletes, causing improper co-ordi-
nation of movements, which tends to
alter Inspirations and heart beats and
consequently to wind q man."

SPLIT OVER FAIRBANKS.
Indiana Republicans Divided as to Policy of His. Being Vice Presi-
 dential Nominee.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 President Roosevelt's friends sare be- tentions of Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. They are desirous that he make public acknowledgement of his purpose to be a candidate for Vice-President: They have claims of no other candidate will be. con- sidered Senator Lodge has said to several prominent Indiana politicians, ap- parently with the authority cf>the Presi- joice to accept the Senator as his run
 :'All of the Presidents friends" said Lodge, feel that the nomination of Fair- banks for Vice President would greatly
 Half the Republican politicians of In- diana are urging the Senator to indicate that he will accept the nomination. The distinctly hostile to the program. Some of them are advising the Senator to say nothing and others are urging him to remain fin the Senate.
 4 It is significant that several of the strongest Republicans in the State are opposed to the idea of the Senator be- coming a candidate for Vice President. They are telling him that while his can- didacy will lend strength to the Re- publican ticket in Indiana 1t will by no means assure the Republican party Of victory in the State next November, especially if the Democrats adopt con.
 
 candidate. Moreover many of the Sena- tors business associates in whose politt- cal wisdom lse has the fullest confidence are urging him that 1t would be unwise for a man with his future to seek a posi- ton in which he would find his political grave, even if he attained it. These men are also trying to make the Senator uTi- derstand that there is a very strong like lihoOd that President Roosevelt will Tail of reelection.
 Senator Beveridge has suddenly de- veloped a powerful interest in the future of his colleague and is more urgent than all others combined in trying to per- suade the Senator to say he will accept. Doubtless Beveridge is acting in behalf of the President.
 Indiana Democrats admit that Fair banks nomination would have q strong tendency to keep the State in the Re- publican column, but with an other man on the Republican ticket as the candl- date for President Indiana would 20 Democratic. This Is the deliberate view of Democrats who have not been voting with their party for eight years.

rHr NEW woRFARE.

Already at the very incipiency of the war in the East, the Japanese have given a practical demonstration of the change which has taken place within little more than a generation in the arts of war, and especially in naval warfare. For exam pie, contemporary says:
 The engagement of Monday night was crucial test. The Russian vessels were surrounded with wire nets, which were supposed to arrest torpedoes; they were we'll provided with searchlights and duly guarded by a patrol. Yet the Japanese torpedo-boats came close enough to them largest and strongest vessel in the Rus sian navy. and got away not only without losing a man but without wasting a tor pedo. The torpedo-boat. therefore. has come to stay and to improve.
 During the war between the States fre- duent efforts were made to construct and operate torpedo boats effectually, and some minor successes were achieved, but always there were some defects. and fall ures blighted the hopes and expectations of their builders, especially of the Con- fedSrates. who hoped by this method to neutralize the great preponderance of Union war vessels. Under the many diff faculties against which the Confederate authorities strove 1t was not to be won- dered at that the brilliant hopes were not realized
 The success achieved by the Japanese, and the conditions under which that sue cess was achieved, Is significant. It not only shows the advances made in modes of offensive war, but exhibits in a graphic manner. the up-to-date alacrity of the little brown men, and the readiness with which they have prepared themselves for the struggle before them. In the case above cited the Russians evidently thought their vessels were protected against any attack that could be made on them. They were not only protected in the most ap- proved manner. but 1t was thought that the search lights and patrol rendered them absolutely safe from attack.
 Yet with all these safety appliances, three vessels were wrecked without any real injury to the attacking forces. It was a practical demonstration of the efi. ciency of the modern torpedo boat, and especially for harbor defence or for at tacks in comparatively limited waters. Naturally. the next forward step will be to construct torpedo boats that will be servlceable on the high seas. Already. as a contemporary observes. "it Is pro- posed that men-of-war carry submarine torpedo-boats on their decks. with ma chinery for launching them when neces- sary." That this is practicable is not to be denied. for improvements are so con- rinually going forward in every branch of warfare, naval ss we'll as,on land. that we can hardly doubt that success will crown efforts and researches in this di-

sonnow AND aArrsrAcT1oN.

It is nothing but natural If the President ls torn by conflicting emotions" over Senator Hanna's death. He must feel secret satisfaction over the removal from his road to the White House of one of the sraveat perils that confronted him in. hia own party. for, as we view 1t, Hanna was the one man who seriously threat ened Co stand between him and the nonii- nation.
 On The other hand, if the Senator had lived; had put away ambition, and had set himself loyalty to work in Rooseveit's sin- terest with the same power and determi- nation that marked his advocacy of Mo- Kiniey's candidacy no human power could have prevented the nomination of Roose- welt. What is more. with Hanna thor oughly st himself. and entering heartily into the campaign, the work of defeating Roosevelt would have been very much harder than it is likely to be now. Thus. while we give the President the credit of being sincerely grieved over the death of a friend. we may without impropriety re- gard him as feeling more grief over the loss of the one man who could have done more than. any other Republican to re- tain him in position. even while he may feel some satisfaction at the removal of one who might have become his most dangerous rival.
 If we should only regard Senator Ham mas death from "a strictly partisan, view Democrats would rejoice that he no long, er stands as menace to success. If he had lived and retained his full health and visor,. and had obtained the nomination he might have been a very serious obsta- ele in the way of Democratic success. Then again, If he had refused the noni- nation and had taken up Roosevelts cause with all his masterful powers of organi- sation and management. Democratic chances would have been more than sert- ously imperiIled. Thus it is that while we can join in the feeling of sorrow over 4he death of a strong man we may, as Democrats, feel some degree of satisfac- ton that 6 dangerous power in the Re- publican party is no longer to be feared

FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT.

Is the Policy of Both Parties. washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 There has been an informal discussion of the question of adjournment by the members of the Senate Appropriations Committee and 1t was the general opinion that the session would be brought to close not later than May l. This com mittee consists of several leaders of the Senate, including Senators Allison. Hale. Cullom, Quay and Cockrell. and their judgment always is excellent. Congress could adjourn by April r. said Senator Cullom, "but 1t win not do so. We will complete our work early in April and in all probability not later than May l: There Is a general disposition on the part of Senators to adjourn early. There will be no difticuity about ratifying the Pan, ,sd,, bills, and passing the other legislation by May =, The State conventions will be held early and the Senators and mem bers .cf the House desire to attend them: The Illinois State convention will be held in May and the National Republican Convention meets in June. Every one will attend meetings of this kind and this is one of the many reasons which will bring about an early adjournment"

 must work wonderful change in war fare. That 1t will come is almost assured. Another important feature In connection with torpedo-boats is the cheapness with which they are built. The money ana
 time spent on one modern warship will build probably fifty boats. and when 1t comes to harbor defence, the little boats would destroy an approaching enemy while the big one is getting in position. It would be something like big man turning loose handful of dirigible hor- nets on an enemy. The torpedo-boats would do their work. like the hornets. be- fore the man or ship could set started
 There is another advance in warfare that seems inevitable in the future. and that is connected with aerial navigation. True. hoped-for success In this direction has been long delayed, but that 1t will never come is too much to predict. Man will never be satisfied till he conouers the air. and when he does it win mean such revolution in warfare on land as the uni versaI use of torpedoes bids fair to work in water. An airship. loaded with dyna- mite bombs, or other high explosives, lowering above an army, and out of reach of its guns. could drop such s shower of destruction as would practically annihilate ain army which could neither escape nor defend itself. It would de- moralize any army that could be assem- bled. Torpedo-boats on water and flying machines on land may make war In the future so dreadful that humanity will rebel against it's horrors and nations put an end to it. And little Japan is giving the world some lessons in modern achieve ment.

SENATOR HELLER
Scouts the Suggestion of His Re- signing.

Scouts the Suggestion of His he- ~ signing.
 Washington Special to New York Herald. r Senator Henry M Teller of Colorado, has no present intention of striking the pace set by Representative Shafrotn ana reslgning his seat in the United States Senate because the polls of Denver were polluted. He will not be interviewed upon the subject, but inquirers are put m possession of these facts:
 First, the Senate itself is the sole judge of the right of its members to their seats. Senator Teller's credentials have been ac- cepted without objection or contest. Sec ond, the State Legislature which re-ele3t- of the election of its members. and sue ceeded in settling that question after a protracted and bitter struggle. Thel efore the time has long since passed for ques- tioning Senator Teller's right to his seat in the Senate from legal standpoint.
 Telegrams have been arriving in Wash- ington, however, at a fast clip today fl 1nl Colorado, and particularly from Denver, seeking information as to whether the Senator would not feel morally bound 60 follow the example of MT. Shafroth, cs- pecially in view of the fact that 1t was the vote of the Arapho County (Denver) delegation which elected him. and that this delegation was elected at the same "taintcd'' polls which Mir. Sharroth so dramatically spurned. This point is dls- posed of by the Senator in the general statement that he is not to resign.
 The revelations as to the inside work Ings of the women voters of Denver, 10 which attention was called by the dra- matic incident la the House yesterday. made the large delegation of women cffi- ciaIly representing the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage Association a tar get for members of the House Committee on the Judiciary before whom the de4s- gation appeared today in behalf of six teenth amendment to the Constitution Of the United States granting universal suc- 1rage.
 Were the election frauds in Denver which deprived the House of one of its esteemed members yesterday perpetrated by the women?" asked Committeeman Alexander, as one of the Colorado plead CTS for suffrage was extolling the system in her State.
 In one of tho districts in question, tie speaker admitted, out of a registration of 570 women that entire number voted while the male vote in the same district was but 2S5. Throughout the State, it was further explained, the men comprise 55 per cent. of the voters and the wo- men 45 per cent. The returns have shown that the women actually cast # 1-2 per cent. of the total vote.
 That is,' interjected Committeeman Littletield, they vote as frequently as the men,

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of 50 Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- tion Is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply a reliable kidney and liver remedy on the fYst GHpeGraMce of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- ton of strong men and women, yet they are fraught with potent meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffer ing and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Priclsly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet incipient will save hundreds in doctors bills, and immeasurable suffer ing that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort Gin cases that defed their best efforts) with the most brilliant results, and it has shown it's superiority over the many so-called kidney cureo, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merab1e.

Mir. Cleveland was the Democratic can didate for President three times and each time he received more votes than had ever been cast for any candidate of any party prior to that time. He led and de- feated Blaine by popular and electoral vote in 1884. He received nearly 100000 more popular votes in 1888 than Harrison did, although the latter defeated him by electoral votes. In 1892 his popular ma jority over Harrison was nearly 4OO,cO in spite of the votes pulled of from him in Nebraska and some other States where Weaver was the choice of some peculiar

Illinois Worries Them.

 Speaker Cannon is reported to have said. when told that RooseveIt's noni- nation would probably lose those Stat $ to the Republicans: Tt isn't New York. New Jersey and Connecticut that 1 am worrying about: what troubles me is H. linois." Perhaps the Speaker did not say that, but a Chicago dispatch says that that Is a very common sentiment anlunp Republicans. Illinois has pretty large independent Republican vote; 1t was that which enabled Mir. Cleveland to carry ;hs State in 1892. A man representing inc principles of the Cleveland adlnInist ra- tion would get that vote away from MT Roosevelt and would hold all the Demo cratic vote.

ORGANIZING FOR PARKER.
Indiana Democrats Preparing to Se- cure Delegation for New Yorker.

La Porte Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 A movement has begun in this State particularly in the northern counties, to secure the Indiana delegation to the Democratic National Convention for Judge Alton B. Parker of New York. The movement Is being directed from Kansas City and the plan of organization is to have a Parker league of voters organized in each voting precinct. thus making a systematic fight to secure the Indiana delegates from the New York candidate The Democratic newspapers of the State, as evidenced by a poll. are giving substantial encouragement to the movement. Polls which have been made of the rank and file of the party reveal decided preference for Judge Parker, with a strong following for Benjamin F. Shively for Vice President. He was the party nominee for Governor in 1S96 Legislative caucus for Senator.
