Door" Principle Will be Applied.

Door" Principle Will be Applied.
Germany has outlined to the United
States in clear and emphatic terms
the position claimed by the Berlin
government in Morocco. Upon the re-
ceipt of instructions Wednesday morn
ing from Berlin, the German ambas.
sador called at the war department
upon Secretary Taft, whom the pres.

bassadors could confer, and in the
name of the German emperor left with
the secretary brief memorandum set
ting forth the Moroccan policy which
Germany has all along pursued and
from which she does not purpose to
be swerved. In substance the mem

explicit language, announces that
Germany stands for the open door"
in Morocco no less firmly than in the
far east, for the preservation OF the
Moroccan status quo and for the
safeguarding and protection of the
commercial and trade interests in
Morocco not only of Germany, but of
all the trading nations of the world.

-FOUR HUNDRED MEET DEATH
COLLAPSE OF NEW WATER RES
ERvoIR AT MADRID, SPAIN.
People Are Mortified and indignant
Over Accident, Claiming II Could
Have Been Prevented.

Four hundred persons were killed or
injured Saturday by the collapse Of a
new water reservoir in course of con-
struction in Madrid, Spain.
The catastrophe caused a profound
sensation throughout the city. All
work was suspended and the people
flocked to the scene.
AS the day passed the indignation
and excitement increased and serious
disorders are feared, as it is charged
by many that the disaster had long
been foreseen by the authorities in
charge of the work, and that this terri
BILE disaster could have been pre-
vented
A workman who was injured says
the collapse was so sudden and COM
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened. The men at work on
the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, as fortnight ago three
arches collapsed and cracks devel-
oped in four others. The public hold
the engineers and contractors respon-
sible for the catastrophe, into which
the cabinet has ordered strict in
quiry.
The structure which collapsed was
a huge quadrilateral, $50 by $50 me-
tres, built on arches. The disaster
was due to the weakness of the sup
porting pillars. AS the greater part
of the debris is under water, the work
of extricating the victims is most diff
cult. ...

A MALTA MYSTERY.
Headless, LegIess Trunk OF Young
Man Picked Up on Streets Of
San Francisco.

San Francisco.
The headless, legless, trunk OF a
young man was found early Thursday
morning on Vallejo street, San Fran
cisco. It was still warm and the flesh
was quivering when picked up. The
body was wrapped in an old blanket
tied up with fishermen's Irvine. A
man was seen to throw the bundle
away by a passer-by, who pursued
him, but failed to overtake him. So
far there is no clue to the identity of
the murdered man or his murderer
The fact that the head, arms and
legs of the youth are missing makes
identification of the remains impos-
sible at present, but it is considered
probable that the missing members
will be discovered during the careful
search that is being made. A wound
in the portion of the neck attached to
the body indicates that the young man
was stabbed to death before being
hacked to pieces.
From the color of his skin the MUIR
dered man is supposed to have been
an Italian, and theories of malta re-
venge have been advanced but entirely
lack verification.

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that 1T
contained the correct combination OF
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements OF
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, .backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in 1T; I'M

LET CITIES PUT UP BARRIER

With that spirit of commercial
ism which has ever characterized
her Atlanta, for greed of the al
mighty dollar, bids defiance to the
mandate of the state board of
health and invites the yellow fever
epidemic to spread throughout
Georgia. The balance of the state
perhaps values life and safety
above dollars and cents, and as
Atlanta insists upon being the
only "open port" the other cities
of the state should, as a matter of
safety for themselves, quarantine
against her promptly and rigidIy.
Let Atlanta keep her fever germs
and dollars; the balance of the
state prefers a measure of safety
and indOrses the action CT the
state board of health in attempt
ing to enforce it.

INSURANCE ExrRAvAGANcE.

From the evidence given before
New York legislative committee,
it seems the Equitable is not the
only life insurance company that
pay it's officers salaries out of all
proportion to their duties. Accord
ing to John Mccall, Secretary of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, the President of that con-
Germ, John A. Mccall, receives
800, 900 a year, the three FirstVice
Presidents 50 900, $780, aud
$40, 900 respectively and the three
Second Vice Presidents $50, 900,
$21, 900 and $18, 900 respectively.
Secretary Mccall also receives
$14 900 a year. Vice President
Fish, of the Metropolitan, admitted
that he received $75, 700 a year,
the President $50, 900 more, and
the lesser officials from $25, 900
down. The President of the United
States, Chief Executive over so,
900, 900 Of people, receives $4,000
year. No wonder life insurance
cost far too much when the officials
of the companies are paid princely
salaries, many of them for doing
practically nothing. And the fire
| companies are doubtless equally as
extrayagant.
