Well, well, my dear" said the old Colonel
this is good news indeedl Not that | want to
lose you but | realize that after man has had
his seventy years. he can't expect another seventy,
and before l begin to shuttle l do want to see you
safely in the keeping of some good and wise man"
He won't be so good and wise as you, Uncle
Dan. You're saint and Solomon rolled into
one, and Colonel Scovel besides"
oh, no. we don't expect the superlative virtues
of the Scoves from those unfortunate enough to
be born into other families; but who is it that you
have found not altogether unworthy? You say
you've made up your mind to marry. Who is the
lucky dog?"

as far that. I've only just come to the con-

touch of foreign courtiness, which, when properly

popularity of Barbaras nature her
derful adaptablity So marked was this trait that
at times she was fairly chameleon-like. Thus in
the presence of John HOLSTER, her own de1neanor
always took on shade more of gracious dignity.
This was involuntary and unconscious on her
part; just with Robert Lloyd she always fell
into a chummy and informal attitude.
You're very beautiful tonight, DEAR" said
HOLSTER as he adjusted chair for her.
What subtle compliment she returned
laughing into his blue eyes.
You mean that it isn't But did l ever pre-
tend to be subtle2"
No, you couldn't pretend it; you don't
know what subtlety means"

You don't pronounce nuances very well, but |

hower-faced vision and then reading it aloud with
killing glances in your direction
Yes, just that" said Barbara wilful1y ignoring
his sarcastic intent. "Oh, John, if you could

MIDSHIPMEN DISMISSED.

To date the results Of the courts
martial at the naval academy nave
been the dismissal of three cadets. 1t
does not look as if the investigation
is over either, Meriwetner is sure to
go and. no doubt, there will be others.
We have no sympathy for the men
who are dismissed for the kind Of
hazing which is carried on at the
academy. 1t is a species of brutality
and cowardice which should not be
cOuntenanced and men who practice
it are not fit to have command of the
men who form our navy. We hope
the navy department will continue
the trials until the practice is broken
up. This action should have been
taken long ago. All the officers con-
nected with the academy for years
past must have known that it was be-
ing done. The cowardly and unmanly
practice led to perjury in at least two
cases which have been tried recently.
In them the testimony was directly
and most positively contradictory.

TlLLMAN'S ATTACK ON ROOSE-
WELT.

Mr.. Tillman's denunciation OF the
president in the senate was terrific and
we must say, in our opinion, entirely
out of place. We do not see that the
senate has any authority to investigate
a breach OF the criminal laws in the
White house. That is a matter for
the courts When they have passed. on
the 8 and found the men guilty
Of assault On the lady then will be the
time for criticising Mr.. Roosevelt for
having allowed the men to remain in
service after such brutal conduc. To-
ward a lady.
The country does not know yet what
was the conduct of these men. Two
accounts, very different from each 9TH
cording to n their conduct was out
rageous. The other shows that they
did nothing more than their duty and
committed no violence upon the lady,
using only SO much force as her vio-
lent conduct made necessary to re-
move her.
Now that the affair has taken such
a urn as Mr.. Tillman's speech has
given it we hope Mr.. Roosevelt will
call for a full investigation of the con-
duct of the men by the proper tribu-
nal. 1t would have been better had
this been done when first there was
so much sensational matter about ii
in the press.
We do not mean to defend the men
if they acted as some charge they did,
nor the president, if he retained them
in Office knowing such TO nave
been their conduct; but all we say
is let's have the facts before passing
Judgment ON either. If the former are
guilty, as Mr.. Tilman charged, they
deserve the severest punishment, and
if the latter, knowing their guilt, pass
it owe and caused a false state
ment to be given to the public he de-
serves condemnation for his action.

The Durham Juniors will make an
effort to get the state orphanage Of
this order, which is to be established
soon-at the next meeting Of the state
council. When the state meeting is
held Durham will have a good substan-
tial offer to make for the O~rphanage.
Two years ago Tar Heel council No.
2, of this city, made the best offer Of
any council in the state, Offering a
site and the largest cash donation. At
a meeting of this council last nigh.
pledges in the sum Of $1,000 were
made and committees we're appointed
to visit the business men of the city
and solicit donations. This soliciting
will begin at once and it is hoped that
before the meeting of the council there
will be a large amount in cash and
good pledges and that the orphanagc
can be landed for Durham.
The Junior Order United American
Mechanics is a growing order, and
now has a very large membership in
this state. The order has reached the
point where an orphanage is necessary
to take care of the orphans of Juniors.
1t is, known that several of the larg-
est councils in the state will make
an effort to get this institution for
their towns. In the effort to be made
here Tar Heel council will be assisted
by East and West Durham councils

couragement as will give the Durham
end of the string a good show from

THE REPUBLICAN REVOLT.

Is the political history of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration going TO repeat
itself during the present administra-
ton? Is Mr.. Roosevelt going TO take
such positions on certain public ques-
tons as will drive the majority OF his
party from him as has been done twice
in the history Of our co~untry-in the
administrations Of Tyler and of Cleve-
land? A good many politicians and
people who are not politicians are pre-
dieting that such will be the case.
The Charlotte Observer Of last We'd
nesday, the day after the vote was TAX
en- in the house of representatives on
the Philippine tariff bill, contained
this editorial:
Our Washington correspondent notes
in yesterdays paper that 1T is the de-
liberate opinion of many close poiiti-
cal observers that President Roosevelt
is today face to face with the same sit
uatiOn hat President Cleveland was
compelled to face during his last ai-
m~inistration, and there are not a few
republicans who fear that it will end
DIS ulSdSIrOuSly Tor the c6DuDIlcdn
party as did the breach between Mr..
Cleveland n congress for the demo-
cratic party" Things certainly ap-
pear to be tending in that general di-
rection.
In this connection some figuring In
regard to the vote on the Philippine
tariff bill will be interesting. 1t must
he borne in mind that the bill passed
by the house was an administration
measure" and hat it passed just as it
came from the committee, with the
exception of a few minor amendments.
The only one of any importance was
the putting of rice with sugar and to-
bacco, subject to a duty equal to tWen-
ty-five per cent of the tariff levied by
the Dingley bill on these articles.
The democrats of the house support
ed this bill on the ground that it was
in line with their party's tenets on the
tariff.
There are in the present house Of
representatives 249 republicans and 1877
making 1856 members, 1874
being a bare majority. There were
II votes cast against the bill. Add
this number to the 1877 democrats and
you will have 208, a majority of Is
IF all the members and thirty more
than the republican vote for the bill.
There was not a full vote On the pill,
only 1929 membefs voting, but had the
vote of every absent republican been
counted for the bill and all the demo-
Gratis Joined the boiling republicans
the administration bill would have
been defeated by the majority Of 30

While we do not pretend to say that
IN occasion will arise during the pres
session of congress where this same
aumber' Of Republican bo1ters will join
the democrats in opposition to an adj
ministration measure, these figures
that there is such opposition to
Mr.. Roosevelt in his own party that
such a thing is entirely possible and
hat the hold Of the administration On
is by no means firm .
There is another administration bill
pending in congress which is causing
the president much ~uneasiness lest 1t
fail. That is the statehood bill. The
republicans seem to have
up their minds to embarrass the
administration by opposing this along
with it's other pet schemes.

all parts of the common domain of the
United States ought to have free trade
with one another. The majority bill
recognizes free trade now in every pro-
duct except two. and then it says that
on and after a certain day in 1909 we
shall have free trade between these
two separate parts of the common do
main of the United States in all prod
ucts. these two products included.

heartburn or palpitation of the heart.
Indigestion causes the stomach to

heart. This crowds the heart and inter-

time the heart becomes diseased.
