Often she dies OF nothing else than

A POSSIBLE ROW.

Eecms like there Is an opening for a flrst-class row between this country and England; or, to be more specific, between Virginia and London. As is, or should be, well known, Virginia wants the bones of Pocahontas to come across in time for the Jamestown Ex- position. but The London Chronicle hints pretty strongly that the Indian princess must remain where she was planted. That there are conflicting in- terests Is true enough. She was born and grew up in Virginia, and there she did her celebrated stunt with John Smith and her father. That makes her . Virginian, one would say, without a flaw in the title. On the other hand she married an Englishman, died in England and was buried in London, and that. it is claimed, makes her the prop erty of England--and there you are.
 IfVirginia insists on bringing her over and London decides to keep her they may have to call in the services of an umpire. We can't blame the Old Do- minion for wanting to get back the only specimen of princess she had, and we don't blame London for obJecting to having her burial places upturned in search of long lost cadaver, espe- cially such noted one as that If it comes to a light we shall be with Vir- ginia. but hope they will settle 1t am icably.

Manchester (N. H.D union.
 There is good reason to believe that those Grand Army posts In Brooklyn that are so hotly indignant because a New York camp of Confederate vet erans have been invited to Join in the Memorial day parade do not represent prevailing sentiment among Northern veterans of the civil war. These posts threaten to withdraw from the pro- cession, or even to form in line and then drop out, as an expression of stunned that these men represent any considerable proportion of the member ship of the Grand Army, the contrast between the veterans of the North and the veterans of the South would be striking and painful.
 It Is not to be forgotten that the w9- men of Columbus. Miss. in 1867. only two years after the clote of the war, in setting the beautiful example which was later followed in the insti- tuition of Memorial day. decorated with flowers the graves of the Federal and of the Confederate dead without dis tinction. The poem, "The Blue and the Grey" was inspired by this action. and there have since been many instances of mutual commemoration in Southern than the North in the great struggle, generous in recognizing the heroism of the men who fought on either side men of the same race and of common country. If Memorial day is to be more than a mere holiday in the future, it must be what 1t ought to be every where-a day of Scommon tribute to American valor, devotion and sacrifice.

 They have met phenominal success wherever introduced. We want them organized in/every neighborhood in Alabama, as they are in Tennessee, Mississippi and other States. In no other way and by DO other means can the great agricultural Interests of the State be SO much advanced and we hopd that our able and efficient Com missioner, Hon. R. R.

The Dreaded Crinoline.

Omaha World-Herald.
 It Is our abiding conviction that in this world, as the Creator designed 1t, the hoopskirt has no place. It is illog- ical and impious to assume that the Almighty should have left his most charming and exquisite creation in- complete. Yet this assumption must perforce be made when 1t is presumed to construct steel additions and attach them to the feminine form to serve as the foundation, as 1t were, for sartoriaI monstrosities that the aforesaid form would not otherwise support.
 Aside from being impious, in our Judgment, the hoopskirt is several other things. It is unnatural; 1t is ugly; and 1t must be alfred cold in winter Not to mention that 1t seems to offer opportunities to street and sidewalk eddies of wind, carrying dust and dirt, that the eddies are not en- titled to. On top of which the hoop skirt Is so very forbidding and formal and distant.
 ManifestIy 1t would be well-nIght im- possible for women wearing hoopskirts to participate actively in politics. The polling places would have to be en- larged out of all proportion, the voting booths would have to be built on the funnel plan. and there is no conven- tion hall on earth in which even five thousand women, all wearing these abnormal bird cages, could be congre- gated.

 They do things differently in Tur- | key. The sultan has issued an edict | forbidding the importation of any | goods in packages marked or branded with star, because a star is repre- sented upon the national coat-of-arms. This action may be based upon a rever- 1 ence for the emblem, or 1t may be sug- | gested as protection for ignorant pur- | chasers. who might regard the star as | an evidence of government indorse- ment. Whatever the reason. the star as an advertisement for canned goods or shoes or other mercantile products is barred from Turkey.
 For some unknown cause no action has ever been taken in this country against the use of our national flag for advertiseing purposes. It appears l upon our billboards plastered over with advice to use somebody's patent me dicine Its feit/presentment is attached to beer kegs and beer bottles, It is used to attract attention to straight-front corsets. Instead of be- ing held in sacred regard, 1t is desc crated by the most trivial and mer- cenary use. The symbol of all that is benef1cent and powerful in govern merit, 1t is almost literally trailed in the dust. The same flag that thrills the heart of every lover of liberty is adopted by the manufacturer of every nostrum to Haunt his wares before the public.
 There is no doubt, of course, of our universal patriotism An insult to the flag by any foreign nation would be re- sented instantly and forcefully. Why, then, do we allow the national emblem to be misused at home? Why do we ask of the school children a daily in- vocation to the flag, intoxicating in them a sense of devotion, to their coun- try, and at the same time neutralize the patriotic spirit by allowing the same flag to be exhibited under ques- tionable conditions? These are cer- tainly practical questions. Congress ought to respond to them with a law which would banish the glorious stars and stripes from every advertisement in the land. We can learn a whole some lesson from our Turkish friends.

The people of Alabama are showing a deep interest in the cause of educa- ton. They are getting out of the Idea that they must depend solely on the appropriation from the State treasury and are preparing by local taxation to increase the amount. Elections are to be held at an early date in Pickens, Shelby, Calhoun and Lauderdale for the imposition of an additional tax and the indications are that the advocates of the proposition will be successful. It has been the case so far in every county, the latest being in Elmore, where the tax was voted by a vote of about 12 to l. More than one-third of the counties have already voted in fa- vor of adding to their county school fund, and in a few years it is to be hoped that in every community there will be a first-class school house and a school taught at least nine months of the year. Alabama's per cent. of illiteracy is decreasing and 1t should be the effort of our people to wipe it out altogether.

HoteI Comfortn on steamers.

The new steamships going into com mission this year are to be Waldorfs and St. Regises ahoat, On the new hotel steamship the grill room has grown into a large, modern, la carte restaurant. Passengers dine when they please, arrange luncheon and din ner parties for friends and have a change from the meals served in the regular dining room. The much-de- cried upper birth finds no place in the first-cabin staterooms. The comfort of a lower berth is thus insured to every passenger. Spaciousness is an important feature of the starerooms. Some of them have the unusual dimen- sions of 10 feet by F feet. Suites of large connecting rooms, with private bath and toilet, and combinations of one room with bath and toilet, are numerous. The ladies' saloons, smok- ing room and other customary features found on all lines are larger and more splendidly furnished on the 700-foot ship of today.

make Alabama as great in agricultural production as 1t is in min era1 wealth We have the soil and the slimate adap- ted to the profitable production of every crop grown between the tropics and the artic regions. with advantage of cheap transportation to the markets of the world, superior to any other State, to which Is added cheaper lands than can be purchased anywhere else on the continent. The census reports show the acreage of tIllable lands of Alabama are about equal to those of Pennsylvania, while the crops of the latter State are many times greater than those of the former; and while the choice farm lands in Pennsylvania command from. two to five hundred ity and many superior advantages in Alabama. can be purchased for $25 per acre. Give us the benefit of improved culture and systematic farming as op- erated in Pennsylvania. and our rich and fe,tile lands on which can be raised in Pennsylvania. and we will rival the State in agriculture as we surpass them in minerals. The Farm CTS Institutes fully organized and op- erated. will lead to that result
 In Tennessee this great work was begun by first organizing an Institute in each of the three grand divisions of the State. and from these grand d. vision Institutes local Institutes were rapidly organized in every county of the State until now they number many thousand of leading farmers and the good results everywhere stand out In evidence. The same can and should be done In Alabama. Let us follow the example of our Tennessee sister and show her that while she has done so in Alabama. Commissioner Poole can do it.

 Breathe HyOmeI and Cure Catarrh.
 The changeable weather of Spring, with its warm days and cold nights, is responsible for a great increase in the number of cases of catarrh. It iS now that Hyomei, the only guaranteed treat ment for catarrh that cures without stomach dosing, should be used in every home.
 Hyomei Is a scientific method by which pure air impregnated with Natures own remedies for the cure of catarrh, can be inhaled by every suf- ferer in his or her home, Breath ed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, its healing, volatile, antiseptic fragrance as no stomach dosing possibly can do It gives immediate relief and makes last ing cures.
 Proof that the Hyomei treatment will do all that is claimed for 1t Is found in the guarantee under which E. G. Fowler sells it, an agreement to pay back the price, if the purchaser can say that Hyomei has not given satisfaction. Complete outft ,s1.00i extra bottlea eb0cs

The Oklahoma State Capital argues that "the cackle of the old hen on the farm draws but little attention, and a single egg is small thing, but put a whole lot of these cackles together and pile up these little eggs and you have something to talk about" The brother talks good sense. The hens of the United States are better trust-busters than the President and his cabinet. A big output of eggs means large num- bers of chickens and that means defi- ance of the meat trusts to a consider able extent. Hoch der hen!

Complains of Rubbtrb.

A prominent woman who resides on south Lawrence Street, signing herself "A Lover of Neatness and Order writes The Advertiser as follows
 'On the night of January 3rd house No. 614 South Lawrence Street, was de- stroyed by fire. The ashes, old pieces of tin, and other debris, were placed in the street in front of the house wherc they have lain undisturbed ever since.
 This Is the Sth of May. Therefore. for four months that pile of old rub bish has been an eye-sore to the resi- dents of the 500 block.
 Can anyone tell whose business 1t is to look after such things? An appeal to the authorities to have the trash wagons remove 1t, met with the re- sponse that 1t didn't come under their department.
 Mot knowing to whom to look for redress, I take this opportunity to make an appeal to our aggressive Council men, Mayor, or whoever has any aU- thority, to look into the matter.
 Perry Street would not tolerate such a rubbish pile for four montha, so why should Lawrence Street?"
