DDS of the United States.
In his travels Mr.. Wynne made some
interesting observations of the people
and customs abroad. He was particu-
larly interested in studying the men
and women of the country. In Paris
he declares that the women and men
are groomed to the limit of perfection.
but thinks the matter Of personal pull
chritude is a little bit overdone. He
declares there is too much paint on one
sex and too much wax on the mus
taches of the other. In Ireland he
looked diligently for the typical, beau
tiful Irish girl, but did not find her.
AS a result of his observations he says:
Il have seen some beautiful types Of
the Irish girl in this country, but II
there were any in Ireland missed
them; they must have all come to
America. The Emerald Isle is beau
tiful country and intensely interesting
but visitor is liable to be disillu-
stoned as to the romantic character and
beauty of the people They are hospit-
able, Industrious and good race, but
my observation is that we have the
best types of the Irish right in Amer
lea, where they have added greatly to
our citizenship

been constructed which run all the way
up the interior walls of the monument,
extending to within few feet of the
tower floor. In these pipes wires will
be extended with weights attached to
the ends and scientists will carefully
measure the stretch of the wire pro-
duced BY the gravity of the earth. This
will! be done by an instrument called
the cathetomcter.
It will require some very accurate
figuring, but it is expected that the re-
suits will be of much importance and
value. The most extensive test of this
kind ever conducted before were with
73-foot wires DR.. Becker's experiments
will measure the inf1nitesimal degrees
of strain on a wire over 500 feet long.
When the results are computed bridge
builders and construction engineers
will have a more accurate idea Of the
ratio of strain in the materials which
they use. At present, in the building
of BRIDGES the laws of elasticity cannot
be definitely reckoned with. So far as
the biologists and their knowledge Of
the earth's compressibility is con-
cerned they are still worse off from q
scientific standpoint. The tests now
being made, it is hoped, will in great
measure relieve these conditions.

president Of the
United States taking his exercise or
hurrying from church or visit to
some of his friends. He looks like a
man walking for a wager, but there is
no mistaking the identity of that ath-
letic figure, eyeglasses and glowing face.
The other Sunday Mr.. Roosevelt was
walking rapidly home from church and
as he crossed Lafayette square and
swung INTO the white house grounds a
stranger, evidently country man,
gazed at him in open-mouthed wonder.
The visitor, poking his face between
the iron ratings of the fence that sur
rounds the white house grounds, shout
ed with lusty tones: "Well, Teddy, If
you can run as we'll as you can walk,
Parker will not be in it for minute. !"
The president turned around with a
broad smile on his face, bowed his ac-
acknowledgement and continued up the
walk to the mansion, his shoulders
shaking with merriment at the remark
1t delights the president to test the
endurance of the secret service men
who are ordered to follow him when
he goes out for walk and they have to
frequently break into dogtrot to keep
within their distance of the chief ex-
ecutive. 1t was long time before
Mr.. Roosevelt could accustom himself
to the guardianship of these secret po-
lice and he only yielded to it at the
earnest solicitation of his wife and
friends.

passed away. A few months before his
death Mr.. Hoar expressed the wish
that, when the time came, his young
friend, Mr.. Moody, should succeed him
in the senate.
Mr. Moody has had brilliant career,
which he has filled with ability and
his honors were won by his own en-
ergy and capacity. He is man after
the presidents own heart and possesses
many of the characteristics OF Mr..
Roosevelt. The two men are not I'M
like in personal appearance, although
Mr.. Moody is probably an inch shorter
in stature than the president. He is
Of the same sangui1e complexion,
brown, sandy mustach, crisp, brown
hair and nervous, energetic move
ments. When he was in congress and
Mr.. Roosevelt was assistant secretary
Of the navy they were close compan-
ions and the policies which Mr.. Roose-
welt put into effect in the navy depart
ment were often originated on friendly
strolls, which the two frequently took
together.
Mr. Moody first came into national
notice as prosecuting attorney in the
celebrated Borden murder case at Fall
River. Soon after he came to congress
and it was David B. Hill. the senator
from New York, who prophesied bril-
liant future for the young man. He de-
clared that there was red-headed
young man in the house from Massa-
chusetts from whom the country would
hear in the next few years." His pre-
diction was fulfilled, as Moody forged
to the front in the house, then became
secretary of the navy, followed Knox
as attorney general and is now likely
to don the senatorial toga.

army officer, left him little or nothing

charge of an officers duty is sometimes
interferred with by the worry OF do

Of late years, however, the young
officers in the army have been more
fortunate than some of the older ones
in the matter of marriage. Army and
navy officers in Washington, even of
the lowest rank, are little heroes
among the female sex and girls of
wealth seem very glad to contract mar
riages with them. The wife's income
comes in very handy in sustaining the
establishment and style which society
expects Of these officers This fact has
created serious objection to the sug-
gestion of Gen. Corbin that the consent
of the war department be secured by
young lieutenants before they enter
into the marriage relation. They re-
sent the idea OF being called upon to
give their financial standing, which
would include an estimate of their
finances marriage dot

Mrs. Dc Long finds that the Indescribabls
Pains Of Rheumatisln Can be Cured
Through the Blood.

Mrs.. Do Long Finds that the Indescribabls
Pains Of Rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.
Mrs. e. NJ. De Long, of No. 16o West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found
herself suddenly attacked by rheu1na-
tism in the winter of 1896. She gave
the doctor a chance to help her, which,
lie failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting of her
own. She was so successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story Of her
escape from suffering:
MY brother-in-law," she says" Twas
enthusiastic on the subject of DR.. Will
lialns' Pink Pills as purifier of the
blood, and when was suffering extreme
pains in the joints of my ankles, knees,
hips, wrists aud elbows, and the doctor
was giving ME no relief, began to re-
feet that rheumatism is a disease of
the blood and that, if DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are SO good for the blood, they
must be good for rheumatism aud worth
o trial.
II was in bed half the time, suffering
with pain that cannot be described to
one who has never had the disease. It
would concentrate sometimes III one set
of joints. When it was in my feet I
could not walk, when it was in my ell
bows and wrists could not even draw
the coverlets over my body. I had SUI
fered in this way for weeks before I be-
gan using DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Two weeks after I began with them I
experienced relief and after I had taken
six boxes I was entirely well. To make
sure continued to use them about two
weeks longer and then stopped alto
gether. For several years have had no
reason to use them for myself, but
have recommended them to others as an
excellent remedy"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and euro
all diseases arising from disorders of the
blood or nerves, sucl, as sciatica, neural.
gia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
St. Vitus' dance, nervous prestration,
n,,:emia and all forms of weakness in
either male or female. They are sold by
all druggists.

Suspect Spies.

Two knockcd-down torpedo boats,
on the way on cars to Seattle, and sup
posed to be for the Japanese, wero
wrecked near Towner, through the
breaking of the forward journal of the
truck, containing part of one of the
boats. 1t is presumed that the jour-
nal was tempered with at Rugby.
During the summer several Russians
have been employed on the section
force at Towner. They are innocent
enough in appearance and bear good
regulations for strangers. 1t is known
that the Russians and Japanese gov
ernments have had spies in this coun-
try with view of watching suspicious
shipments to the Orient. The wreck
did not materially 1njure the steel
work on the boats, but practically de.
stroycd the woodwork on the front
trucks, SO that it will have to be re-
constructed
