For American Citizens.

When the visitor approached the diplomatic gallery of the senate cham Der the doorkeeper informed him, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger that the gallery was reserved for for eign representatives.
 Ut Is, heyY' said the visitor. "Well I want to tell you right now that this is a free country, and this is the sen ate of the United States, and l de mand admission in the name of Ameri can citizenship"
 "Ohw said the doorkeeper. "Why didn't you say at first that you were an American citizen? Just step around to the second door from here. That gallery is reserved for American citi Zens"
 With chest puffed up the stranger betook himself to the door indicated and was at once admitted to the pub lie gallery.

AntismoIking Edicts.

Strenuous efforts have been made in times past to stamp out smoking. Among the rules of an English school in 1929 1t was laid down that "a master must be man of grave behavior, nei- ther papist nor Puritan, no haunter of alehouses and no buffer of tobacco" In Turkey, where the pipe is now omni- present, former sultans made smoking Q crime, and offenders were punished by having their pipes thrust into their noses, while in Russia a royal edict or dered the noses of the smokers to be cut of.

The Harshness of Orators.

American political orators are often charged with being unduly harsh to the other side. The following extract from a speech of the late Earl of Shaftesbury, published in his memoirs, shows that if our stump speakers eX- hibit harshness they come honestly by it. The noble earl thus described and prophesied: "When Gladstone runs down a steep place, his immense ma jorlty, like the pigs in Scripture, but hoping for a better issue, will go with him, roaring in grunts of exultation."

TIE FRENCH HUSBAND.
Always, as a Rule, Anxious tO Do the
 Agreeable Thing.

The French husband has a faculty that amounts almost to a genius for bestowlng the delicate attentions which cost little except the exercise of a modicum of tact and thoughtful ness, but which carry joy to every true woman's heart. He not only thinks to take home to her often Gin the absence of the means to make & larger offering) a ten cent bunch of violets, plnks or roses from the flower market or the itinerant flower vendors barrow on his route, but he presents them gallantly with the compliment and the caress the occasion calls for, out of all proportion to their intrinsic worth.
 He remembers her birthday or fete day with a potted plant, bit of game, a box of bonbons, cake from the pas try cooks or a bottle of good wine He is marvelously fertile in expedients for making the time pass quickly and agreeably for her. He has a thousand amusing and successful devices for helping her to renew her youth. He projects unique and joyous Sunday and holiday excursions. He improvises dainty little banquets. He is a past master especially in the art of conjur- ing up amiable mysteries and prepar- ing charming little surprises. And ill all these trivial enterprises he vindi- ootoe the ol1 French theory that true courtesy consists in taking a certain amount of pains to so order our words and our manners that others "be con tent with us and with themselves"
 The American husband is particular ly solicitous to do the proper thing; +he French husband to do the agree able thing. g.-Independent.

ing for such company Co threaten to resort to such drastic measures as out lined in Mir. Cory's communication.
 A word in closing. For many months negotiations have been pending between this company and the new management of the c. D. Company for a settlement of their differences, and contract inall it's chief features had been agreed upon and reduced to writing, by which ssthis company was to have all of itssunissued stock, up to the full amount necessary to construct, perfect and complete it's entire canal system and such storm water protection and drainage system as it required and any surplus stock, the proceeds of which were not required for this purpose, was to be equally divided between this company and the c. D. Company the only material question that had not been agreed upon was the general plan of the canal system, which was to have been constructed and paid for out of the proceeds of such stock. It was agreed that this plan was to be furnished by this company's engineer, Mir. Finkle; and Mir. Randolph, the president and general manager of the C.. D. Company, said the plan could not be made too good or too stable to suit him and that he would approve our plan as tuI ,tl,a,, -s,,l, t,laY, were presented, however; they were submitted by the C.. D. Company to Mir. Schuyler, the c. D. Company's consult ing engineer and some changes were made by him. They were then returned to Mir. Finkle and some changes made by him then MT. Schuyler was called out of the country on business, aud when he returned, Mr. Finkle was away, and so it has happened that the two engineers have never gotten together and agreed upon plan, and no plan has been agreed upon as basis of the new con- tract, and the first we knew that there were any nsuperable difficulties in the way of agreeing upon the terms of the proposed contract, was Mr. Cory's com muncation to you, which is the subject of this letter.
 Having settled within the last year, after much negotiation, all of our diff faculties with the c. D. Company, and the same having been reduced to writ ing and duly signed, we imagined that our troubles with that company were ended. That contract was repudiated by the c. D. Company and not by us, the new management in its strengthened financial conditon having concluded that this company had made too good a trade with the old management during it's depleted financial conditlon
 As to Mr. Cory's proposed action to cancel and set aside the contract be- tween this company and the c. D. Company, under which water has been delivered to the stockholders of this company, our directors, after consult ing with the attorney for the company, has no fears as to the result of such a

raising ali of the money necessary to have constructed such an irrigation canal system, and such storm water protection and drainage system as the stockholders of this company need, and also to have paid all water rentals due the c. D. Company as they matured
 Under such circumstances, there would have been a market both for the $100,- 900 of bonds of this company authorized by the stockholders to be issued last year, and for this company's stock.
 But with the C. D. Company repudi- ating the Heber contract, and our title Go our unissued stock, and with the whole Colorado River pouring into the Imperial Valley, with no assurance, as to when, if ever, it will be controlled, we submit that it would have been iu- excusable business policy on our part to have permitted ourlocal canal system to have gone to ruin and to have gwen no drainage or protection against storm NdNCI III OihCl Alitb we ullEilb lUIn ONti to the c. D. Company all of the money which our stockholders could have raised by assessments, leaving all our claims for past damages and for canal construction disallowed. Yet, for not doing this, Mir. Cory asks your censure of your board
 We have no word of censure or criti- cism of the new management of the c. D. Company, for the efforts being made by it to control and master the water situation at the Colorado River, but it must not forget that in it's dealings with the stockholders of this company. it cannot escape the California Develope- ment Company's responsibility for the losses heretofore sustained by the stock holders of this company resulting from the c. D. Company's defective canal system and it's past failure to deliver water according to agreement; nor can 1t overlook the fact that the present sit nation at the Colorado River (with the resultant lack of confidence in, and de- stroyed credit of, Imperial Valley h. vestments, wlich have so crippled this Company and it's stockholders never would have occurred had the C. D. Com pany in the past taken reasonable and proper steps to regulate and control the flow of water from such river into it's canal; and we cannot but feel that the new management of the c. D. Company fails to realize the peculiar hardships to which the stockholders of this COmpa have been subjected, and under which they are still bound to labor, because of the c. D. Company's past delinquencies in water delivery, and in canal con strnction and protection; and until the c. D. Company is able to show it's abil- ity to control the water situation at the Colorado River-and thus restore con tidence in Imperial Valley and credit to it's enterprises-and until such com pany has made good all past losses, which it has occasioned to the settlers in such Valley, we submit that it is not becom-

suit. Before any court of equity would declare a forfeiture of this company's rights under such contract, it would re- quire the C. D. Company Co show full performance of it's obligations there under and a reasonable assurance of it's ability to perform in the future, and it will ascertain the amount if anything, due the C. D Company hereunder and give a reasonable time for the payment thereof So no apprehension need be felt as to,any immediate or serious con- sequences to flow from the summary cutting off of water rights threatened in Mir. Cory's communication. Further more, we are satisfied that the contract rights which Mir. Cory threatens to cut off are of vastly more importance and value to his company than to No. } and it's stockholders.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

We believe there is an ordinance
of the city providing for the pun
ishment of those who leave horses
attached to vehicles unhitched on
the streets. 1t certainly needs
enforcement. On Saturday last
there was buggy and a two-horse
wagon, both left unhitched, and
a runaway resulted in a broken
wheel in one case and several
vehicles badly wrecked in the
other.
Stop this bad practice.

. Dr. L. B. Bouchelle. of Thomasville, Ga., a physician well-known in the South, Is very enthusiastic over the cod liver oil preparation Ninol. tie says: "I have rsed Vinol in my fan.'' fly and in my general practice with the most satisfactory results. It is exceedingly beneficial to those afflicted with bronchial or pulmonary diseases and to create strength"
 Our local druggist, k. G. Fowler, says people of Montgomery should remen- Der that vinol Is not patert medicine, but the medicinal elements of good old fashioned cod liver oil in a highly con- centrated form-taken direct from fresh cods' livers--the useless oil elim frated and tonic iron added.
 This is why 1t is prescribed so gen. orally for bronchial and pulmonary diseases It Is splendid to create an appetite, strengthen and tone up the digestive organs. make rich red blood. and replace weakness with strength.
 We ask every weak, thin. rundown. nervous and aged person in Montgom- cry, and all those suffering from chronic colds. coughs and weak lungs, to try Vinol on our offer to return money if 1t does not benefit them. F. G. Fowler. Druggist.
 Note-While We are sole agents fot Vinol in Montgomery, 1t is now for sale at the leading drug stores in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

CLOSE UNIVERSITIES
ST. PETERSBURG INSTITUTION WAS
 OPENLY REVOLUTIONARY.
Students of College Made Speeches 90 Incendiary in Character That Authorities Took 5tep for
 Public Safety.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 29.-The univer- sities of St. Petersburg and kazan, two of the most important in Russia were closed today by order of their respec- tive faculty councils on account of the violation by students of the stipula- tion that open political meetings should not be held within the college pre- cincts.
 The speeches delivered and the res- olutions passed at the great mass meeting held today in the university here. which lasted from noon until z o'clock. were so openly revolutionary and incendiary that the members of the faculty were unable to ignore this open defiance of the administrators $ ultimatum to the enforcement of which they are pledged.
 The closing of the University of Ka- gan was accompanied by the procla- nation of a condition of "extraordl- nary security" in the city and suburbs in order to enable the authorities bet ter to cope with the anticipated after math of disorder.

Police Making Effort to Close Univers-

 St. Petersburg, Oct, 29.--Extraor- dinary measures have been instituted to prevent such affairs as the customs robbery of Saturday last.
 Cossacks have replaced the gen. darmes as escorts of money transports and the street in front of the central post office will in future be closed for haif an hour at noon while the regis tered mail is unloaded and Cossacks with carbines ready to fire will keep pedestrains and carriages at . dis tance.
 Among the twenty-one person ar rested yesterday on suspicion of hav- ing been concerned in Saturdays rob- bery are several who have been identi- fled as members of the band and one of them, who Is thought to haave been the leader, has been interned in the ofrt ress of St. Peter and St. Paul. instead of in an ordinary prison, so as to pre- clue any attempt at rescue. No trace. however, has been found of the booty, the exact amount of which was $1Ss.- S26, or of the woman who carried the money away.
 In addition to the cashier, M Her mann, who was robbed by the band, his two assistants and several other cus- toms employees have been arrested on suspicion of complicity in the plot.
 The governments ultimatum to the faculty of the University announcing that the institution would be closed if meeting involving tho participation of non students were continued.w de- fled today.
 An immense mass meeting was held in the University building at which many workmen. professional men and several army officers were present Af- for fiarv ravolnffnnarv ho5 been delivered resolution was adopt. ed declaring that the gifts of the em- peror October 30 had proved valueless and asserting that the situation of the country Is as intolerable as before the manifesto.
 A second resolution respected a pro- position to celebrate October 30, with a meeting or demonstration as the an- niversary was not deserving of special notice and 1t was useless to play into the hands of the police by provoking disorder
