Lid Lifting a Little in st. Louis.

81. Louis, July ia sizzling sun
caused innumerable thirsts in st.
Louis Sunday and the rumor that
there were wet" spots in the city de-
spite the enforcement Of the Sunday
closing law was In some degree borne
out by the fact that three arrests were
made for selling liquor. In the sum-
mer gardens the lid was held down
Sunday but when dusk began to fall
the lid began to rise and those who
thirsted became comfortable. How
ever, no arrests were made.

There are little babies playing yellow

Don't YOU see their curls a-fiying where

DISTRESSING AND ANNOYING

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
Why. in the removal of the old street
lamps. don't the Commissioners imme-
diateIy replace the names and num-
bers Of the avenues and streets. The
former signs were very small and.
therefore. difficult 10 decipher at night.
A good plan would be 10 paint IN large
characters on the globes the names and
numbers of the avenues and streets.
The fact that the lamps are without
signs is most annoying 10 residents OF
the District. and positively distressing
to strangers who are naturally unfam.l-
lar with the peculiar plan OF the city. We
have enough criticims on the manage
ncnt of the city without inviting more
from visitors. NJ. II. S.

4 WoTkqiTI and a LegaCu

A mill girl of Utica, n. Y, has fall
en- heir to 100000. It came to her
way across the continent, from an
uncle. and was entirely unexpected.
Two cousins. the proprietor of a small
grocery and a day laborer on the rail-
road, have been similarly blessed. And
now the girl has been asked by the
enterprising newspaper reporters of
Utica If she means TO continue work
ing in the mill Her answer is sim
ply that shesdoes not see why for
tune should lead her to desert her
odd place.
1t happens this young woman -four
ishes under the name of OLoughlin,
which will lead most of her we'll
wishers TO doubt If she remains long
in any mill. The lesson taught by
her numerous fellow Irish-Americans
Is that even without money they do
not often stand still. With money,
with $100, 600. almost any one of them
could establish on the flrmest kind OF
a foundation a valuable and peTma-
nent business. Miss OLoughlin viii
awake to this in time. She will dis
cover soon enough that 100000 can
occupy all her business talents and
that, If she has the ordinary ability
of the Celt, she can turn it over and
over. Her cousins grocery Store is
certain to grow Her other cousin
is, by the same token, practically sure
to lift himself ont of the ranks of day
labor into those of prominent and
reliable business men. 1t is in tins
blood.
Until the realization of her oDpor-
The Washington times., 1905-08-08

tunity develops, however, this girl
presents a most attractive picture,
working away in the mill which gave
her a livelihood when she had nothing
but her earnings. There is no false
pride in her heart. She sticks to her
task and does the work she knows
how to do. She has a thrifty con-
tempt Of idleness. a woman of this
caliber would have succeeded In life
without this legacy Of 100000 or any
legacy. But now good fortune has
smiled upon her. it is beyond any
question that her old workmates will
share in it and her sympathies be ex-
panded by it.

Appendices Appendicitis.

After long and careful considera-
tion, the opinion is ventured that the
most intensified diurnal output of
erudition in the world is contained in
the Daily Consular and Trade Reports
OF the Department of Commerce and
Labor, representing the observations
and conclusions of Uncle Sans agents
In foreign lands. On single day this
journal of miscellaneous information
recently discussed Motor Road
Transports in Queensland. the
Spanish Almond Trust, Good
Openings for Americans in Brazil"
Operations for Appendicitis. Heat
ing and Ventilation" Germany and
Her Colonies" and the "Currant
Trade Of Greece
When the consular service proves
itself equipped to discuss appended
tbs, it is time to expect a solution Of
the problem of whether the nebUlar
hypothesis really accounts for our ex-
istence It is assumed, of course, that
no ambitious person. pinned down to
honest confession, would admit that
he was without hope Of some day be-
ing able to have appendicitis. Time
was when the teacher used to tell the
ambitious boy that he was destined
to the Presidency; but nowadays the
ultimate goal of every vaulting am
bition is, or should be, appendicitis.
xtr.-a 41h
Consul General Guepther sends. that
it is possible to have appendicitis
without having an appendix, is gem
uineIy cheering.
Folks who have no appendices will
note at a glance that social distinction
is not barred to them. Surgery has
achieved great triumphs in this
sphere. writes the learned consul
general at Frankfort, and it is readily
believable. Appendices appended
It's, for which the French surgeon
Roux is made to stand sponsor, is
thus cfazsed with the great achieve
ments of the age. The horseless car
riage and the wireless wire are hardly
in the same class. The non-fying
Langley flying machine presents the
only worthy parallel that comes to
mind.
For, explains the knowing consul
general, on the authority of another
foreign specialist, the rubber rings
which are used to close bottles fire.
quently contain large proportion OF
antimony which, dissolving into the
liquid contents of the bottle, superin-
duces a condition which may develop
into appendicitis whether there is any
appendix or not.
The tendency of Corks in bottles 10
cause internal disorders has been
noted heretofore; but in the past the
most notable instances have related
to the effects consequent on the re-
moval of the cork. The consular
service, however, brings the informa-
ton that the cork really gets in its
most deadly work when it is left in
the bottle 10 contaminate the con
tCalts. This bears out a lifelong pref
udiee which many excellent people
have entertained against leaving the
cork in the bottle.

Tax Reform Laws.
THE tax reform laws were favored
by a Republican convention. recon-
mended by a Republican governor who
efterward signed them and passed by
a Republican Legislature; they ought
to be given a fair trial If there are
faults in them. and I know there are,
they fean be remedIed by amendment at

ought to be In the hands of RepubIi-

because as whole it WAS the best that
