Mexican Cornell Students Device
For Aquatic Lacrosse Players.
J. A. Ostos, a Mexican student In
Cornell university, walked on the water
Of Cayuga lake the other afternoon
says an Ithaca special to the New
York Times. He wore pair of water
shoes, which he recently designed in
the department of mechanical engi-
neering. He shot about over the water
in every direction with little apparent
effort.
The shoes are constructed of tin
with four afr chambers In each, and
q separate compartment for the foot.
They are five feet three inches long,
fourteen inches wide and nearly ten
inches deep. Collspsible fans prevent
them from slipping backward. Mr..
Ostos' purpose in making the shoes was
to introduce new water game similar
to lacrosse. Other students are al
ready planning to got the new style
shoes.

HEARST's REMARKABLE
NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.
Savannah News.

The whole country is watching the
remarkable campaign that Mr.. Hearst
is conducting in New York. II you
believe the leading newspapers of that
state-practically all them except the
Hearst paperS-you are sure that Mr.
Hearst will be overwhelmingly de-
feated. If you read what Mr. Hearst's
friends have to say you have no doubt
that he will be elected by great ma
jority. in an interview in Atlanta the
other day Representative Griggs Of
this state. who is chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
said was in New York few days
ago any my observation and informa-
;ion in regard to the political situation
there indicates that Mr. Hearst Is go
ing to win by tremendous majority
The people are aroused to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm in his behalf.
believe he will carry the state by a
majority ranging from 100000 to 200,-
900 majority"
Some cartoons that are being pub
lished represent Mr.. Hearst as the
puppet of Tammany, showing him as
meek follower of Mr.. Charles Murphy,
the Tammany boss, who is pictured
in stripes-the stripes Mr. Hearst,
when opposing him, put on him in the
cartoons which occupied so conspicu-
Gus a place in the Hearst papers not
so very long ago.
Mr. Hearst resents the imputation
that he is at the beck and cali of the
Tammany boss and has assumed the
attitude of the boss of Mr.. Murphy.
The relations between them therefore,
according to all accounts, are greatly
strained It Is stated that Mr.. Hearst
has forgotten that Mr.. Murphy gave
him the Democratic nomination for
governor by means that were not
wholly fair. and that he refuses to
keep his promise respecting the divi-
sion OF the judicial spells.
It. is impossible to say how much
truth there is-in- this statement. There

must be some, however, because there
has been no published contradiction
OF 1t. II Tammany should withdraw
its support from him the chances Oh
his election would very much less.
Mr.. Murphy says sTammany isn't go
ing to withdraw fits support, but he
couldn't very well admit it was going
to try to defeat the man it practically
nominated.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Murphy
from his support, however, might not
do him so much harm as some people
think 1T would Democrats are with
holding their support from him be-
cause they believe he is hand In glove
with the bosses, Notwithstanding the
fact that he processes to be. fighting
the bosses. If he should break with
Mr.. Murphy, however, he would afford
sufficient proof that he wasn't being
dominated by Mr.. Murphy or any
other boss. If the people of New York
get it firmly fixed in their minds that
he isn't boss-ridden thousands Of
Democrats and Republicans will vote
for him who have no intention now of
doing SO.
The betting may be two or even
three to one against Mr.. Hearst now,
but look out for changes. The out
cry against predatory wealth and
trusts and the development In the life
insurance investigations have pro-
duced a public sentiment that will be
satisfied only with a most radical
change in the administration of the
states affairs Mr. Hearst promises
to bring about such a change If elect
ed. Expect surprises therefore in
New York when election day comes.

Election Of Senators
BY Direct Vote.

One Of the most important conven-
tons of the current year will be held
at Des Moines, Ia, on December 5,
for the purpose of discussing and TAX
ing affirmative action upon the ques-
ton Of electing United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people.
The convention was originally called
to meet on September 5, but was post
poned on account of the political &C
uyity in many parts Of the country at
that time. AT the convention it is
the intention to take the steps neces-
sary to the holding of convention
for the purpose Of securing the de-
sired constitutional amendments.
The New Orleans States comments
extensively upon the matter and,
among other things, has the following
to say:
All Of the states will be represent.
ed at the convention by five COM
missions, and up to the present time
thirty-fve states have named their
commissioners, but no action has yet
been taken by those states in the
east which are pretty we'll under the
control of the plutocracy, such for
instance as New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania and others. 1t is
believed, however, that all the states
with perhaps the exception of five or
six will be represented in the Des
Moines convention and the action Of
that body will result in a speedy
change of the manner of electing
members of the United States senate
Several times bill proposing a con-
constitutional amendment providing
for the election of senators by popu-
lar vote has passed the house, but it
was promptly killed in the senate
through the influence of senator's
whose seats had been secured for
them by powerful special interests or
who had become the servants Of those
interests.
There is not the least reason to
doubt that the election of senators
by direct vote of the people in the
several states will soon be provided
for by the adoption of an amendment
to the Federal constitution. When
this is done the people will have the
power to purge the senate of a con-
siderable number of INSCRIPTIONS
men who sit in that body and serve
the public service corporations while
pretending to serve the people. Those
senators who engage in this service
claim, as Senator Bailey has done,
the right to provide themselves with
a competence against old age, will be
compelled to retire and work for their
corporation masters in the capacity
of mere private citizens. The SEN
ate may not be rid of the presence
of all these men at one stroke, for
it is quite probable that such thor
ough rotten boroughs as Rhode Island
and New Jersey will retain their Al
drichs and Drydens for time, but
they will be in such trifling minor
ity that they will not be able to In
fluence legislation or be of any value
to the corporations that put them In
the senate.

In the many homes where no maids

PENSACOLA PHILOSOPHY.
BY Sam 3. Russ.
x*@sxxxxAxasessas ;saxiexa slllsssKRaaxxss,


For the average man, too much
credit is worse than none at all.
Women have more tact than men,
simply because they have more to
conceal.
Every woman thinks that she could
write book, If she only had more ink
and fewer children.
The man who thinks he under
stands women, simply fails to under
stand himself
So many men marry the wrong
woman that the world is. not at all
likely to be shy of misery yet awhile.
The young author who boasts that
he doesn't write for money, is mighty
apt to write home for it, all thu same.
The difference between what a man
thinks Of his wife before marriage and
after is one of the things that nobody
ever tells.
Nothing is perfect in this world
not even the happiness of children,
since they can never realize their
happiness.

Pensacola and her sister city OF the
Gulf, Mobile, in the loss and suffering
inflicted by the great storm by which
they were devasted last week. Mobile
suffered even more than Pensacola,
about sixty lives having been lost,
with an estimated property loss or
five million dollars. Outside aid will
be required there to meet the terrible
conditions produced by the storm.
