Will Support Bryan.

Representative George F. Burgess, of
Texas. a close friend of Senator Bailey
and presumably speaking for him, yes
terday declared that Senator Bailey
would not be candidate for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination in 1908,
but would support the candidacy OF
William Jennings Bryan. In a formal
interview he says:
"Senator Bailey has never believed
that the nomination of any southern
man in 1908 would be wise, and he has
continually refused his Endorsement to
any such move in his interest. He and
all OF US. so far as | know, are of opin-
ion that political conditions point to the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan as the logical
candidate in 1908. 1t can be assumed
without question that Senator Bailey
and his friends are in hearty sympathy
with Bryqn's nomination, and have
not the slightest doubt that the coming
State convention in Texas will adopt a
ringing platform and unanimously sug'
gest the nomination OF Mr.. Bryan
in 1908.

WillOughby Beach BOmbarded.

A dispatch from Norfolk says that
the residents of Wlloughby Beach were
thrown into a panic yesterday morning
by the falling of 50 iuche projecliles in
that vicinity. The shells were pre-
sumably fired by mistake from the big
guns at Fortress Monroe. The firing
of the shells Jared the cottages at the
beach. A force OF men on freight
train near the beach reported that they
we're forced to abandon their train snd
hide behind a convenient sand hill 10
prevent being struck.
Several of the shells have been found.
One of them came very near striking
the J. b. Porter cottage, and after 1t
had struck on the sand rolled under
the cottage. Another struck in Twelfth
street and another in Tenth street, and
one came near striking the A. P. War
ripgton cOt'oge. The residents of the
beach are much incens: |. They de-
clare that their lives and property were
greatly endangered.
Miss Adele Smith. taxing from tEe
Porter cottsge Yesterday afternoon, said
that one of the shells struck a sailboat
of Willoughby Spit, turning it COM
pletely around Another struck on
Willoughby Spit and wss later picked
10. The shells are ten and half inches
long and three and half inches across
Why the guns were allow-d to be
fred in the direction Of the beach Is
not known. The Ofic4.s at the fort
have not yet made any explanation OF
the matter. There is scarcely any
doubt, however, that the guns were
trained III the wrong direction through
error. The guns are used regularly at
the fort for shooting at targets out in the
wafer

Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago, popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that All
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain II Is, that much Of the sickness
and suffering Of mankind Is due 70 the
violation OF certain OF Natures iaws.
But TO say that all sickness sh0uld Do
regarded as criminal, must appeal 10
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
IL would be harsh, unsympathetlc,
cruel. yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who SINKS
under the heavy load Of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements OF pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing Of children. with us ex,
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with tbs care, worry and labor OF rearing q
