and the farewells were said with regret.
The pavilion was crowded to its ca

the production of the Mystic Midgets by
half hundred of children. The little

ago the Old Dominion Telegraph COM

G. Hewlett of Birmingham opened an
office at Mobile and were ordered to
close up by the sheriff on the ground
that the operations of the company were
contrary to sections 4S1O-11 of the code,
which prohibit selling pools on horse
races in any shape or form.
The agents of the company then sought
before Hon. A. A Coleman, judge of the
Tenth judicial circuit at Birmingham, an
injunction restraining the officers from
interfering with their, business. The
judge granted the temporary stay and
made the papers returnable before Cham
oellor Smith at Mobile.
Other Steps Taken.
Before reaching the chancellor, how
ever, some other actions were taken by
the officers of the law and on the hear
sought to have the injunction made PERM
anent, but asked that the officers be
punished on a charge of being in con-
tempt of the first order. Chancellor
Smith refused to impose a penalty for

Vermont Votes Today.

Today Vermont elects a governor, congressman, a legislature, and full assortment of other officers. Vermont Is one of the September states, Maine being the other, but Maine does not hold an election until next week.
 No one expects either state to elect more than a few scattering democrats. No one expects either state to reduce the republican plurality to small or close figures. Both states are and long have been overwhelmingly repub- lican. A democrat in either Is a cat in strange garret.
 But the question is, how large will the majority be in Vermont? If 1t fall below 25,001 today, then the democrats will properly and justly claim that public sentiment has turned their way. and this is what Senator Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon, Secretary Taft and a
  ing to avert. Money and spellbinders have been used in abundance in Yer mont to prevent the plurality for the republican candidate for governor from falling below BLOOD
 In 1892 the republican plurality fell to 19,O00, and MT. Cleveland was elected President The moral effect of a plurality up to 25,00O in Vermont is what the republicans are seeking, and they are seeking it with all the re- sources at their command. They pro pose to read the November results in the one-sided Vermont returns. It Is worth the while to keep in mind the fact that plurality below 25,000 is verdict against republican extra4a- gfnce and publican misrule.

LESSONS TO BE TAUGHT
 THE ARMY AT MANASSAS

regulars against green volunteers is that they do not know how to take care of themselves in the field. The state camps cannot supply the necessary ex- perience. for in them the soldier is not compelled to rely sufficiently on his own resources. In field operations in time of peace the conditions approach much closer to those found in time of war and the knowledge which will be gained by the militia staffs alone will be worth the expense to the states concerned At the same time the commanding officers will gat an insight into those larger tac- tics which must be only book learning to them when they are at home, and the men will acquire something of inde- pendence of action and self-reliance which constitute the finest qualities of the well trained regulars.
 The general public, too, will como in for some share of the instructions. If the lessons of our last war have been taken to heart, as we believe they have been the public will find in the improved morale of the army service a cause for satisfaction and serenity of mind. At the same time 1t will find in the certain disclosure of some still existing deficien- cies powerful argument in favor of . continuation of such manoeuvres. Tn time of peace prepare for war" If the preparations are sufficiently thorough there may not be any war.

every field This much is demon strated, namely, one thousand Japan ese meeting on an open plain one thousand Russians can whip them every time. Further, it is demon strated that a mere check or repulse has no perceptible effect upon the heroic courage of the Japanese. St. Petersburg expected them to wilt un- der such treatment, but this is not their year tor wilting.
 The truth is, the Russians are licked in this war. They have a vast num- Der of men at home, but they cannot place enough of them in the Far East over a rickety single-track railroad to whip the the Japanese. When the Rus sians lost control of the sea they lost all, and the sooner they confess it the better for them ana for all the rest of mankind. The Japanese have won. and it is a matter of detailed liclings only hereafter.

Mimic War at Manassas.

Today will be begun on the old camp grounds games of strategy, such as forty years ago were enacted with desperate earnestness. Where Beaure- gard and Joe Johnston fought McDow- ell, and where a little later Lee and Jackson fought Pope is to be the scene of mimic war between the "Blues" and the Browns" The stuoents of strat- egy will numoer 26,000 men, or more than the Boers mustered in any one battle.
 Two problems are to be worked out. In the first problem an attack will be made by the Blues at Manassas upon the Browns at Thoroughfare Gap. The Blues are defending Washington, and they will attempt to defeat the Browns beiore the latter can gather over whelming endorsements.
 In the second problem the Browns encamped at Tohoroughfare Gap Will endeavor to defeat the Blues at Man assas before help can be summoned from Washington. Quick and skillful movements will be attempted, and um- pires will be at hand ,o decide where victory may fly her triumphant ban ne. Captured units will be put out of the game, ana there will be all the rush and fury O. war less its slaugh- ter. Certain 1t is that neither Blues nor Browns can do as good sprinting as was done in July, 1861, when Beau regard and Joe Johnstone brought up the soldiers of the Confederacy for an initial baptism of fire Their oppo- nents did not wait to see the whole of the ceremony.

LOVELY BUT DEADLY BATH TUB.

Letter to the New York Sun.
 Let us pause for a moment in our mad career of politics and other autumn al advertisements and raise a cry for re- form in bath tubs. Not in the old fash ioned' safe kind, but in these new fangled polished porcelain affairs in which turk all manner of slippery disaster They are handsome to look at and cleanly in character, but they are dangerous to all who indulge in them. Already I know dozens of people, men and women who have slipped upon their treacherous sur faces and suffered more or less breakage railroad man who fell during his bath and broke his collarbone. and I know a distinguished author who broke two ribs in the same way. As for myself, I have thus far sustained no further injury than bruises
 But why should the bath tub be so dangerously slippery? Is glaze its only glory? What's the matter with having unglazed bath tubs? Or at least the rim some chance to catch his falling self? Even a rubber cap would be of some avail. I know one lady who spreads a table cloth in the tub before she turns the water on. but how cumbersome and clumsy this is.
 The polished beauty may be pleasing to the eye, but the danger of it should make it as much to be avoided as we avoid the mottled beauty of the deadly moccasin.
