LETTER TO POND-DECKER
 MFG. CO.,, NEWPORT, ARK.

Gentlemen:-Mr. ------, president of a cotton mill at Union, s. C.,-he don't want to see his name in print-had two offers of 800 gallons of paint; $1.3O and $1.25. Took the $1.25 and got skinned. He'd have got three-quarters skinned if he'd taken the other.
 The $1.30 was full gallon; the SIPS was IS per cent short. The full measure paint was adultera- ted 40 per cent; the short meas ure paint was adulterated 45 per cent, besides benzine in the oil, don't know how much.
 Devoe lead-and-zinc wasn't sold in the town then.
 It don't pay to monkey with paint.
 Devoe costs less than any of 'em; not by the gallon, of course, by the house and year. That's how to reckon it. Go by the name. Yours truly,
 F. w. DEvOE & Co.,, 93 New York and Chicago.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner.

Cuban Caye-Eishas

An interesting addition has re. gently been made to the Natural History museum, South Kensing- ton, London, by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind cave-f1shes of Cuba. The special interest of these fishes lies in the fact that their alliance is with saltwater forms which exist in the neighboring sea, and not with fresh-water fishes, as is the case with Amblyopsis and its allies of the great cave of Kentucky. There can be little doubt that the Cuban caves in which the blind fishes are found were formerly in communication with the sea, and that the ancestors of these fishes entered the caves from the adja- cent ocean.

Children Labeled for Travelins

Children Labeled for Travelling.
 The practice of labelling chil. dren and sending them across the Atlantic, addressed as parcels, would appear to be getting rather general. A number of children so labeled have passed through Queenstown from time to time lately. From the Dominion liner New England, which has arrived there from Boston, was landed a little boy not quite nine years old. He was addressed to his uncle at Kilkenny. He had travelled from Chicago unaccompanied, and had been transferred just as parcel would be by the various forward ing companies through whose hands he passed.

On March LIST various Congressional
districts had named eighty delegates
to the Republican National Convention.
or this number siXty-eight had been
instructed to vote for Roosevelt and
twelve were unrestricted. The unin-
structed list gives two delegates each
from Georgia, Kansas, New York, Ohio,
Virginia and West Virginia. The New
York district that refused to instruct
its delegates was that. of Congressman
Littauer, whose connection with glove
contracts has aroused strained rela-
lions with the administration of Roose-
welt. The preliminary lineup, how
ever, is such that the men seeking the
nomination of Roosevelt on the first
ballot have good reason to be con
fident of success. Though the Presi
dent has lively enemies he is big
enough to put into oblivion any pos
sible dark horses the enemy may at.
tempt to trot out.

LATURE.

1.-THE coming special session or the
Legislature will certainly have some
strenuous cutting to do" said Repre-
sentative S. +. Chillingworth to a Bull
letin reporter this morning.
"The session is called for the specific
purpose Of reducing the Governments
expenses within the limits Of its funds.
Should the Legislature fail to accom-
plish this purpose the special session
would merely be an added expense in
stead Of an aid.
81 have no doubt In my mind" con-
tinued Mr.. Chillipgworth, that the
House of Representatives on the very
first day Of the session, or possibly on
the morning OF the second day, will be
split up into various committees which
will handle the various departments
with view OF reducing their expenses
to the least possible amount without af-
fecting their capacity for doing eff
fective work. This, in my opinion,
should be done more in the way Of cut
ting out superfuous employees than by
cutting the salaries of each individual
employee all around. It is better to
dispense with some officials who are
not needed than to make hard living
for all the employees. The cut Of ex-
penses should be done in this way that
where two men can be found to do the
work which is now performed by three,
one of the employees should be cut out
altogether while the remaining two
should do the additional work but at
the same time have the same salary as
they have been drawing heretofore.
I'm making their estimates Of where
cuts can be made the committees will
use the estimates furnished by the
heads of the departments but where
these are found to be inadequate they
will undoubtedly be ruthlessly cut by
the committees. In making the reduc.
, ton the personality Of the incumbents
should cut absolutely no figure
Friendship or even family ties should
be sacrificed to the end OF promoting
the common welfare Of the commun'
ity."

A special session Of the Bar Associa-

OF April 9Th, to consider recommends
tions for appointments to the Supreme
Bench.
This session promises to be inter-
esting. Thurston will be active and
endeavor to secure the endorsement Of
Frear and Perry. '|s.
There is an element, however, that
wants to see Hartwell named as Chief
Justice, still others want Henry Z.
Cooper elevated to the Supreme Bench
and there Is talk of Francis M. Hatch
being put forward for Chief Justice,
although Mr.. Hatch would not make
an active canvass for the place.
Hartwell is known to be a willing
candidate and Former Judge Cooper's
ambitions have always been for Judi
cial honors. Judges Robinson and DE
Bolt have been talked Of as successors
to Justice Galbraith. Robinson has
been said to have the Carter support
and De Bolt is figured as the approved
candidate Of Thurston and Attorney
General Andrews.

A SAMpAN TRAGEDY?
FEARLESS finds FISHING
BOAT FAR Out TO SEA
WAS oNE.MAN eoAT-lNpIcATloN
THAT OCCUPANT WAS SWEPT
OVERHEARD AND
LOST.

The tug Fearless. when out for the
ship Astral yesterday. picked up q
sampan which. drifting far at sea with.
out an occupant, seemed to indicate
that some lonely tragedy might have
taken place on the deep.
The sampan was found about four,
teen miles in south.southwesterly
direction from the harbor. 1t was a
small craft-what Is commonly called
'one-man boat. Its mast was stand.
ing and Its contents just in the condi.
ton they would be for a fishing trip.
In the boat was small cooking ap.
paratus, a supply OF firewood, fishing
lines and other gear, oars and tackle,
and an old coat. From the bow Of the
boat was hanging an anchor with about
twenty fathoms Of line out.
In consideration Of all these facts
Captain Olsen of the Fearless Is In.
clined to think that the man who occu.
pied the sampan had anchored at sea
and was fishing when he was swept
overheard. The fact that twenty faith.
oms Of line was out shows that the
sampan was anchored q considerable
distance from shore. It certainly did
not drift from the beach. AS the mast
was standing and the fishing gear and
other tackle ready for use, It seems
probable that the owner had left the
boat very suddenly. The only possible
way he could do this would be either
by embarking on some other sampan.
which does not seem probable as his
own was In perfectly seaworthy con.
dition, or falling overheard. The lat
ter theory seems very plausible, as
there was a high sea running the day
before yesterday.
Captain Olsen sent one of his men
on board the sampan who took down
the mast and fastened tow line to a
thwart. 1t was Captain Olsen's inteu.
ton to tow the sampan into the har.
Dor, but as he neared the Astral the
thwart broke and the small craft went

JUSTICE OvERRULBD.

The petition of Attorney G. A. Davis
for reinstatement before the Supreme
Court is denied, Galbraith dissenting.
Again is justice overruled by the
majority Justices of the Territorial
Supreme Court and will be forever
oyerruled as long as the majority JUS
\ tees remain on the Bench. The ma
jority Justices do not give the reasons
for their third overthrow of justice.
They don't have to. 1t is decidedly
doubtful whether they could conjure
a written opinion on the subject which,
by any warping of the English Ian
guage to conceal real thoughts and
placed before the Department of JUS
tice.
By their course In the disbarment
proceedings from first to last these ma
jority Justices have destroyed what
little confidence the community ever
had in them. Doubtless Thurston will
endeavor to whip his Bar Association
into line so that 1t will perjure itself
into expressing an opinion that injus-
tice is justice and promoters OF injus-
tice should be maintained in office.
That remains to be seen. But no pow
er exists in this community strong
enough to establish general confidence
in the Supreme Court while the ma
jority Justices hold sway. Their orig
inal decision regarded, except by fac
tionalists, as harsh, uncalled for, the
essence of injustice, has been over
ruled even by Federal Judge Dole.
Sponsor Thurston alone upholds it.

WORTH CASE DELAYED,
WITNESS IS At SEA

The case Of II. c. Worth, the first
mate of the Othello, who is charged
with assault with a weapon on a Jap
anese sailor named Yasuda last Sun
day. came up in the Police Court this
morning.
s. +. Chillingworth, counsel for the
defense, stated that he was willing to
have examination take place. He
would, however, reserve the right to
call one witness. the second mate Of
the vessel, who was at present on
board the Othello, at some other time
should he not appear during the trial
of the day. A subpoena for the second
mate had been placed In the hands Of
the police for service. The Othello
had been lying near Pearl Harbor un.
til the weather conditions made 1t un.
safe for her to remain there and she
stood out to sea. She was this morn
Ing trying to work up to the harbor but
this was very hard piece of work and
1t was possible that she might not ar
rive till late today.
High Sheriff Brown stated that the
subpoena had been given the police
authorities yesterday morning. At
that time the Othello was fifteen or
sixteen miles out at sea. where no po-
lice officer had any right to board her.
The prosecution was, however, per.
fectly willing to have the case contin-
ucd one week or two weeks.
