England Is having a laugh with this Imaginable figure in London social life who attained fame as the easiest victim of Lord William Neville's s swindling schemes and whose testi- mony on the witness stand was SO childish and ingenious as to convuise the reading public.
 This is a natural and appropriate outcome of Willie Astor's studied and persistent assininity. Knowing little of the young lady. we have no criti- cisms to make about her. except that she probably gets such a man as she deserves and can appreciate.

A RELIABLE wEATHERyANE.

It is a significant fact that The New York Herald has come out for the Ma tional Democratic ticket at so early a date in the campaign. It is a most hopeful omen of victory in Novem- Der.
 For many years past The Herald has waited until toward the end of national campaigns before it decided to cast it's Influence on either side. Unkind peo- pie have said that The Herald always waited until it saw which side was go- ing to win. and then picked the winner Certainly it has almost invariably fore told the winning side some weeks be- fore election.
 Its choice at this early stage of the campaign, therefore. indicates either an extraordinary display of devotion to principle or an extraordinary confi- dence in its judgment as to the result of the contest between Parker and Roosevelt. In either event the effect Is bound to be most advantageous to the Democratic ticket. The Herald enjoys a tremendous influence as an in- dependent, sagacious, truth telling journal with very large proportion of the American public. It's judgment, therefore. will have great weight with an immense number of voters, not merely in New York. but throughout the whole country.
 The Herald's declaration for the Democratic ticket emphasizes a very interesting situation in New York City. Nearly all the great papers of that city are now for Parker. The Herald, The World. The Times. The Evening Post and The American are pronounced for him. while The Sun indicates a strong disposition to fight Roosevelt The Brooklyn Eagle. across the river, is another tremendous power for Parker It is clear, therefore, that the Repub- licans are badly handicapped in the matter of the press in the metropolis, and for that matter in the East. for those papers largely dominate the States adjacent to New York. Unques- tionably, the Democratic prospect is very bright and unless bad blunders are made in the conduct of the cam paign, the ticket will win.

serious form of this trouble and the one to be most closely guarded against. In cases of real insolation the face be- comes purplish. eyes hloodshot, veins swollen and corded and the skin dry and burning hot to the touch. Ii Is not always fatal. but many of those whose lives are saved are ever after ward invalids, with brain power more or less impaired. The effort of the suns heat seems to be most marked on the brain and spinal marrow. When real insolation occurs the brain be- comes so heated that the human heat center. controlling the production or bodily heat, is affected and the tenn perature rises from the healthy mark 9S 12 as high as 110 or over and often keeps on rising for some time after death. The heat center lies at the back of the head and should be pro- tected from the direct rays of the sun.
 "Insolation is so dangerous that physician should be called as soon as possible. While waiting the doctors arrival much good can be done and life often saved by applications of ice to the head and spinal column. It is best broken in small pieces and placed in cloth or rubber bags, but when these are not to be had ice can be placed directly about the head and neck
 "Workmen and others exposed to the direct rays of the sun should have their heads well protected and should wear wooden next to the skin. A very use ful precaution is a pad of cotton bat ting or flannel sewed along the back of the undergarment so as to cover and protect the spine. As long as precipitation is free people can stand a high degree of heat, as the body tends to cool 1t. But in 'muggy' weather the excess of humidity in the Atmosphere checks this evaporation.

THE COURTS AND THE UNIONS.

Time and again The Advertiser has tried to define and emphasize the diff ference between the rights of union iaboring men and the unlawful license so frequently indulged in of late. As The Philadelphia Record puts it: The right to strike is unlimited under both English and American law, in the ab- sence of contracts. But the right to l destroy the employers business is very narrowly limited.
 That is the whole of it. We may admit that laboring men have both a l legal and moral right to quit work, | either as individuals or as an organi- zation. always provided they do not violate a Contract by so doing. Neith- l CT the employer nor the employe ought to do this, but if they .are not under contract for any defined length of time, the employees gre within their rights | when they stop work.
 Here the right ends: Lockouts and boycotts are not defensible. When men quit work for reasons satisfactory to themselves. their late employer would not be justified in trying to pre- vent their getting employment some where else. Neither have the men right to prevent the employment of others to take the places they have voluntarily abandoned.
 It is just here that right ceases and wrong begins. It rarely happens that a strike is not followed by violence. Non- union men are assaulted and driven off by the strikers. Property is injured or destroyed. because in any aggregation of strikers there are reck- less men who will not respect either property or life. We have more than once warned union organizations that the time would come when the law would be compelled to interfere. and that when that time comes there Is al- most e certainty that laboring men may lose some of the rights they should really enjoy.
 The English laws are not as toler- ant as ours are. There was a some what famous case recently decided in England. known as the Taff Vale Rail- road case. where the highest court held that labor union was pecuniari- ly responsible for damages caused by strike ordered by the union. Very recently a Canadian court has impos sd a penalty of $12.500 on a branch of the | Federation of Miners. in favor of d mining company, the ground for the penalty being that the Federation had used illegal means in conducting it's strike. and had injured the company's business"
 It will. of course. be argued that the courts are acting against the working man. but the argument would not be correct. Such decisions are in the line of equal and exact justice to all. Cap ital has the same claim to protection from the law that labor has, and no more. Workingmen. strikers 6r oth- CTS. have no more rIgnt to injure the property of a corporation than they have to iniure or destroy the tools of their fellow workingmen. When they learn this truth and govern themselves accordingly, they will have a claim on public sympathy. If they do not learn it otherwise. the laws will teach it to them. If the lesson is a bitter one. they may blame themselves?

ROOsEyELT's PLAN
 ANNOYS LEADERS
Resent His Interference by His Boom
 for Root in New York.

New York World.
 If Secretary Loeb had taken a hand in milking up" the Republican situ- | ation in New York State. he could not have achieved greater success as a troub1e-maker than has President Roosevelt himself in putting new life into the Elihu Root boom for Cover nor.
 The rank and file of the Republican machine workers all over the State are up in arms over the Presidents inter- ference, and they intend to resent 1t at the State Convention in September if it is worth while.
 They will not consider resentment worth while if at that time it is ap- parent that the State has been lost to the Democrats. In that event they candidate for Governor, and for all the other offices if he wants to do so. Then they will put 1t up to Roosevelt to elect his proteges.
 Mir. Roosevelt, 1t is well understood wants Mir. Root nominated for Cover nor. So does Senator Platt. If Root is put at the head of the ticket it will be regarded as knockout blow for the leadership of Governor Odell, and, if Root should be elected, the Platt men frankly say that they would look for the quick downfall of Odell
 Working for Roosevelt Men.
 During the last few days many i'm portant upstate Republicans have been in the city. and they have all made one report. That is, that the Federal office holders. supposedly un- der the instructions from the head of the administration, are working to elect Roosevelt delegates to the coming State Convention The Roosevelt and Platt men are trying to form. combinations in various sections wifi view to preventing the nomination of an Odell man for Governor. and a great deal of bad blood has resulted.
 Up in my county" said an upstate leader at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes terday, the postmasters are becoming very active and are trying to elect del egates they can control. I have frank ly told them to go ahead. The only people I know of who are getting any advantage from T Republican admin istration in Washington just now are these same postmastes. and they are being told very frankly that if tney car get along with a Democratic Pres ident in the White House, We certainly can"
 This statement. which is true of three-fourths or the counties north of the Bronx. expresses the feelings, of the men who are now in control of the State organization and who control the State patronage. They feel that if Roosevelt should succeed in dictattng the State ticket there would be a rep7 etition of the Folgcr campaign. that Parker would sweep the State ana the Republican organization would be swamped.

IS INDIANA HOPELESS.

We hear it intimated that the Demo- crats are not going to make any fight for Indiana. but we hope the report is not true. There are certain States so hopelessly Republican that no contest can be made for them with any hope of success. though even there the fight must be kept up as a matter of party duty, but this is not the case with h. diana. for there Is no reason except Democratic laundering why the Re- publicans should control it. Tilden carried the State in 1876 and Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. It is true that the Republicans carried it at the last two elections. but that was a natural con- sequence of the demoralization caused by the silver craze.
 We arc told now that Judge Parker's telegram and the action of the con vention thereupon has stirred up the silver Democrats of Indiana, that they are determined not to have any recog- milton of the gold standard in their State politics, and that they propose to make the State campaign on the Kansas City platform. If that is the spirit in which the home fight is to be made, we may naturally expect that it will extend to national affairs and that the Republicans will triumph as they did in 1896 and 1900. their plurality in the latter year being something over 26.OOo. The Democrats were demoral- ized by the free silver mania and de- feat was a natural consequence. The same result will follow the same cause this year. If the Democrats would unite and make loyal and determined fight, they might redeem the State, in spite of Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but the party will stand no show with the Kansas City foolishness to pull 1t down in the mire.

SCORE CHEMICAL COMPANY.
Stockholders Condemn Management fol Paying $1,O00, ,0OO Commission on
 S6,O0O, ,O0O Loan.

New York Herald.
 At the annual meeting of the vir- ginia- Carolina Chemical Company, held in Jersey City yesterday, some of the
 stockholders asked the management
 pertinent questions concerning the loan made last summer on which ex- l horbitant interest rates were paid. It was the first occasion which the stockholders had to obtain information concerning the famous $6,000,000 loan made by a syndicate of Wall Street bankers when the panic in stocks was at its height.
 Lucien Oudin presided and s. B.. Crenshaw, Secretary, was also pres- ent. All those who did not have prox- | ies were asked to leave the room be- fore the discussion became animated The discussion brought out that for the $6,000,000 provided by the New York bankers commission of $1,000,- GOO was paid, and in addition the in terest on $1.000,000 for a year at the rate of 6 per cent. It seems that the terms of the loan provided that the company need not pay the commission of S1,000,000 until the lapse of a year. but in the meantime the interest on the commission, at the legal rate should be paid. In all, therefore, the company paid $1,060,00 for the use of Si,940, GOO, a rate of interest equivalent to 21.46 per cent
 When this was explained there was general disapproval and criticism coupled with strong denunciation of the management, especially by stock holders who had come from Southern cities, where the factories of the Vir- sinia Carolina Chemfaal Company are located. to express their views.
 Mir. Oudin, the chairman. explained the crisis in financial circles in New York last summer. He said that panic had developed in the money mar ket, and when the company brought tho thousands of notes of it's customers to be discounted, as usuol. in the New York banks, the banks were unwilling to extend the credit facilities which they usually did. and they had to pay the price
 It was pointed out also that the sale of the recent issue of stock has pro- vided sufficient money for future exi- gencies and that the business of tho company was in a nourishing condI- tion. New members of the Board were elected as follows: James Boyd, John B. Dennis. R. J. Reynolds, George II. Hath and T. C. Williams, Jr
 E B Addison, James B. Duke. N. s. Meldrum. S. T. Morgan, Samuel Spen- cer, E. T. Stotesbury, Henry Walters and Fortescue Whittle were reelected directors for the ensuing year.
 The officers are Samuel T. Morgan. President; E. B. Addison and Fortescue Whittle. Vice-President; P Dabney Crenshaw. Secretary: S. w. Travers. Treasurer. and F. Thomas Orgain, Au- ditor
