Break II Gently.

Richard LIE Gallienne spends much of
his time in New York, says the Phil
adelphia, Ledger. He affects a decid-
edly poetical fashion in hair, which
calls for a sparing use of the shears.
Near his, lodgings is a German barber
shop, where he frequently drops in to
have his shoes polished, but never for
tonsorial attention, much to the dis
gust Of the proprietor, who is possessed
of the true barber misunderstanding in
stinct. The other day as the poet left,
after one OF his usual visits, a GUS
toner heard the barber say to the
boy:
See here, Fritz, der next dime dot
shentlemans comes in to get his shine
l wants you to Say Something's to him
aboudt dot shameless hair he got 4.
Doan get fresh, and make some Of
fenses-shust hint delicate. Say, Boss,

SIX FISH IN ONE.
From the Los Angeles Time

From the Los Angeles Times.
When Angelo Carnelia, of the fish
ing boat Riva. cast his nets off Alca-
traz Island. near San Francisco, the
other night he hoped for nothing bet
ter than a good catch of sea bass. On
hauling them in he found that he had
nearly 1000 pounds of fish, but his
weight was all united in the body of
one-a shark. To the excited imagi-
nations of Carnelia and his crew of
seven men it was fully eighty feet long
and weighed somewhat over seven
tons. Calmer estimates reduced these
proportions to somewhat nearer the
true figures, which are twenty feet of
length and weight of about $500
pounds.
With considerable difficulty the shark
was hauled aboard. after it had de-
stroyed about $50 worth of nets. The
crew heroically held down such por-
lions of the fish as they could grasp,
while Carnelia attacked it with a boat
hook. After a short struggle the
shark was subdued and the Riva made
for home.
Upon cutting the shark open there
were found inside six large porpoises,
which had been swallowed whole.

SHOOTS FOR 100 MILES.
From the Philadelphia RECORD


Remarkable claims are made for the
new American gun invented by j.
Hamilton Brown. The work of con-
structing a six-inch experimental piece
is in charge Of Col. John M. ingalls,,
retired United States Army, an artil-
erist of high standing and reputation.
Despite the incredulity Of contempora-
ry gun-builders, Col. ingalls, and the
officers with him assert that this six
inch gun will throw thirty miles a pro-
jectile weighing 100 pounds. which will
pierce a six-inch steel target. A writ
err in Everybody's Magazine calculates
that a ten-inch gun of this construc-
tion. with a powder chamber of 1889
cubic inches and using $50 pounds Of
smokeless powder. would hurl 600
pound projectlle a distance of fifty
nine miles.
Increasing this ratio. a 16-inch gun
would have an extreme range of more
than 100 miles, and equipped with such
coast defense rifles, England and
France could shell each other across
the Channel.

The Professor. Little Joke.

The football game was in progress
The Retired College Professor let out
his long pet-up enthusiasm whenever
the sophs made brilliant play, says
the New York Press.
1T is all nonsense to become so ex-
cited over a game so crowded with in
anity," said the Cynic. He was sitting
beside the Professor.
UNI" grunted the latter, viewing
the Cynic critically over the gold rims
of his old-fashioned spectacles.
Il mean it, sir" continued the Cynic,
with an emphatic nod of his narrow
head. For instance, do you think it
promotes health for the young men to
wear those ugly nose-guards?"
A few minutes of silence ensued,
which was suddenly. broken by the
Professor, who replied, drawlingly:
1T may not be healthful. but I'm
pretty sure those ugly nose-guards,'
as you call them. certainly force the
youngsters to practice economy"
Economy almost shrieked the
Cynic. ''In what waY?"
And everybody laughed when the
usually stolid Professor said:
Why, it helps them to save their

THE MExIoAN NAVY.
From the Washington Star

Mexico recently added two modern
gunboats TO its small naval feet. and
two similar vessels are now in process
of construction at Genoa, italy. In
recent years Mexico has devoted some
attention to certifying her coasts, but
has not increased her navy until now.
The two vessels building in Italy will
be named Bravo and Morelos. Exclu-
sive OF these Italian built ships the
Mexican navy consists of four gun
boats In the Gulf OF Mexico and two
on the Pacific coast. besides several
small patrol boats In Southern waters
The two vessels recently built in tho
United States are the most formidable
ships IN the Mexican navy. There Is
a naval school nc Vera Cruz. also an
arsenal and a small floating dock. as
well as a small wooden dock az Quay

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. OCTOBER % 1904

The personal record of President
Roosevelt might be summed up in
brief as follows: Now favoring labor
in Pennsylvania and later keeping
clear of a similar problem in Colorado;
once clamoring for war with Spain
and now calling for a peace confer
ence; in his books advocating lynch
ing for horse stealing and as President
condemning it for criminal assault;
dismissing Gen. Miles without praise
on the ground that public officials
should retire without commentator
and few months later eulogizing GER
tain retiring officers of his cabinet;
believing in negro appointments in
the South and disbelieving in them
for the North: publicly denying that
he knew of any impending revolution
In Panama and privately writing just
the reverse to DR.. Albert Shaw; once
prosecuting the trusts and then an
nouncing through his closest friend
that he would not run a1nuck;" once
claiming that government officials
should take no part in political cam
paigns and now forcing them to do so
or give up their positions. Some brut-
ally frank persons might term such
record one characteristic of the ward
politician. The master-mind of
Shakespeare more pleasantly says,
"All the worlds stage and all the
men and women players on it--and
one man in his time plays many
parts.''

MEDICAL. QUACKs

The statement was made recently
by the counsel for the County Medical
Society of New York that there are
not less than 10000 quack doctors
practicing medicine in New York city
In general terms, a quack doctor is
understood to mean one who, being
unqualified by education and lacking
diploma from a reputable medical
school, assumes to prescribe remedies
for diseases. The quack is regarded
as an impostor and a humbug, who
thrives upon the ignorance and credul-
ity of the people treated by him.
That there are quack doctors in New
York, and every other city, will hard
ly be questioned; and they will con-
tinue to exist as long as there are.
people willing and eager to be hum
plugged; nor does 1t seem that the
host of the gullible is diminishing in
numbers.
But is it likely that there are 10000.
quacks in New York? If that number.
exists, then it would appear that New
York's laws governing the practice of
medicine are weak and faulty, or else
they are not being enforced. If the
latter is the case, the counsel of the.
County Medical Society would seem
to be the person to move to the end
of the enforcement Of the laws.
But by whom are these "quacks''
classified as such? If we understand
it, the County Medical Society is COM
posed of allopaths, who claim to be
of the regular school of medicine.
1t hasn't been a very long time since
the regulars regarded physicians of
all other schools than their own as
quacks. They had neither time nor
patience for homeopaths, eclectics or
specifics" There was no criticism
too harsh to be passed upon the "spe-
cific" who advertised his skill by
means of the newspapers or otherwise.
The peculiar code of ethics of the pro-
fession put beyond the pale of recog-
milton any doctor who solicited bust
ness. II was the correct thing, and
the only correct thing for doctor to
sit in his office and wait for business
TO come 10 MIN. anu Jnen, only re-
Gently, the osteopaths came in for a
severe handling, in legislatures and
! elsewhere, and the Scientists and
other faith healers are still being
pointed to as charlatans and frauds;
as doubtless some of them are. But
in several states the courts have held
that osteopathy is a science of heal
ing, and that faith healing is not d.
legal When, therefore. the statement
is made that there are 10000 quack
doctors in New York city. the reason
able assumption is that included in
the number are practitioners of GER
tain schools of medicine that do not
meet with the approval of the person
making the estimate.

KNOX "ANswERs" PARKER.

The Hon. Philander Chase Knox is
the successor to Matthew Stanley
Quay as United States senator from
Pennsylvania. Until recently Mr..
Knox was Attorney General in the
cabinet of President Roosevelt. AS the
head of the federal Department of
| Justice, it was Mr.. Knox's duty to
enforce the federal laws against lille
gal trusts and combinations in re-
straint of trade. What he didn't do in
| that direction has become notorious.
What he did was to conduct a prose-
cution against certain railroad COM
bination in the Northwest. and after
gaining his case and demonstrating
that the trusts could be reached by
the law, his first care was to announce
that the government did not propose
to run amuck" through the corpora
tons; in other words. that the trusts
needn't be worried about the admin
istrations attitude towards them; that
the administration had made bluff in
the prosecution of one trust, and that
would suffice for material with which
10 nOOuWlnk the people.
AT the time Mr. Knox was selected
to succeed the late Mr.. Quay, it was
openly charged and very generally ac-
oepted, that certain of the great trusts
had made the selection. They had
| picked out Mr. Knox from the field of
| candidates to be their spokesman and
representative in the Senate from
Pennsyl ania. Mr.. Knox had been a
trust lawyer before he went into the
cabinet; he was believed to be in sym
pathy with the great combines of capt.
tai, hence it is only natural that public
opinion should continue to connect him
with the pro-trust crowd.
The other day Judge Parker made
an antitrust speech at Esopus; and
now Senator Knox has come forward
with an ANSWER" to il. Judge Par
ker charged that the trusts, sustained
and fostered by the protective tariff,
prey on the many for the benefit OF
the few Senator Knox ANSWERS" that
Mr.. Belmont is supporting Judge Par
ker, and that Mr.. Belmont is a very
rich man who is connected with sew
eral corporations.
Judge Parker charged that the Ding
ley tariff put money into the pockets
of certain favored interests. after hav-
ing robbed the people of it, and that
in turn the protected interests put
money into the Republican campaign
fund, in lively anticipation of favors
to come. Senator Knox answers" in
effect, that the Belmont interests are
connected with certain monopolies; and
Belmont Is supporting Parker.
Judge Parker asserted that muck
corruption in politics was directly
traceable to the Republican party's use
OF campaign funds contributed by pro.
tected trusts and the party was sub
versive of good citizenship and public
honor. Senator Knox's answer Is
that Judge Parker once assisted In
the election of David B. Hill to the
governorship, and that Tammy Hall 4.

Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's ex-
PLANTATION of the firing of the Russian
war ships on a British fishing fleet in
the North sea is about as hay as he
says the weather was at the time of the
occurrence. It is not at all satisfactory
to the British government. and leaves
much yet to be conjectured. The vice
admiral says two torpedo boats came
towards his fleet from the direction Of
the fishing vessels, and that he opened
fire on them. He thinks one of them
was sunk. Prince Keretelli, an officer
of one of the battleships, says there
were eight torpedo boats. which sud-
denly surrendered the transport
Anatol. He says the torpedo boats
were told to go away, but as they con-
tinued to advance threateningly the
Russian ships opened fire on them.
The Russians, it is said, had been
informed on good authority that the
Japanese government had bought
torpedo boats in England, and that an
attack would be made on the Russian
fleet in the North sea. Having in mind
this information, and anticipating an
attack according to programme, the
Russians proceeded to take steps for
their defense. Meanwhile there is no
evidence on any reliable authority that
there was a Japanese torpedo boat
anywhere within 1000 miles or more of
Dogger Bank. The fishermen who were
fired on told a plain and reasonable
story. They declare they were under
the rays of the Russian searchlights
for twenty minutes; that the lights
were so strong as to be binding, and
that the ships that fired on them were
in hailing distance. How under the
a fleet of trawlers could
have been mistaken for either two or
eight torpedo boats passes all under
There must be still more in
the story, that has not yet been made
public.
Meanwhile, the tension between the
two governments has become strained.
Russia, it seems, is not willing to adj
NIT that Great Britain has a right to
demand the punishment of the officer
or orncerS. responsible for the fearful |
blunder. She thinks that it is her own
right to say whether or not the blunder- |
er should be punished, and that when she |
has apologized and paid a sum Of |
money, Great Britain has nothing |
further to expect in reason. That, how |
ever, is not likely to suit the British |
idea. What assurance will she have |
hat the same sort of thing win not oc-
cur again, Great Britain wishes to |
know, if the responsible officers are
not punished?
