SEA FOOD AT THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

will be found at the jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition such quanti-
ty and variety of seafood that it will
convey the impression of a successful
raid on old Neptune's larder.
The succulent bivalve will be in ap-
petising evidence. Lynnhaven Bay,
an inlet from Hampton Roads, and
within brief space of the exposition
grounds, supplies the finest oysters in
the world. The bon vivants, the
gourmands and the gourments who
visit our shores are unanimous in
their praise of the oyster dug out of
Lynnhaven Bay. 1t touches the palate
with refreshing fulness that imparts
feeling of contentment and salts
faction. Unlike the starved, diminu-
tive product of the seaboard grounds
the Lynnhaven Bay oyster is lusci-
Gus marvel, fat and tasteful.
To those who desire season of
relaxation from the heavy repasts Of
Z
formal dinners and even quick lunches
a visit to the exposition will be boon.
A seafood diet, and such a one as may
there be had will be in the nature
of golden elixir poured into their
life, Ut win add vim and snap to the
muscles, energy and aiertness to the
step, clearness to the complexion and
bright opalescence to the eye. The
exposition will serve the purpose Of a
sanitarium for the inner man and
Neptune's larder will supply the con
dinent as well as the solid, substantial
food.

The Original Porous Plaster.

It's Allcock's, first introduced to the
people sixty years ago, and to-day un-
doubtedly has the largest sale of any
external remedy-millions being sold
annually throughout the whole civiliz-
ed world. There have been limitations,
to be sure, but never has there been
one to even compare with Allcock's-
the worlds standard external remedy.
For a weak back, cold on the chest or
any local pain, the result of taking cold
or overstrain, there's nothing we know
of to compare with the famous plaster.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any one TO do that
let us hope so for the sake of the cook!
The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is weak stomach, rather
than a bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspep
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.

Faults Enough as Il Is.

The political machine that dominates
New York city is strong because large
powers are delegated to it, and the ex-
penditure Of S1OOOOOOOO is given alb
solutely into its keeping. We have
faults enough without municipal own
ershlp in most OF the cities of this
country, and the ordinary business
man fails to see the wisdom of making
the situation more complex and dubi-
Gus than it Is 10y adding the problem

HOW TO SHOW A PROFIT.
tricky Bookkeeping Puts Losses on
the Profit Side.


the Profit Side.
The printed report of a municipal
electric light plant i'm Indiana has just
been received. 1t shows a profit There
Ia no question about it. 1t shows a
large profit. The figures are there in
black and white. and they show a
profit equivalent to 80 per cent of the
gross income and Is per cent on the
capital invested That is what we call
a profitable business,
How was this plant able to make so
good a showing? In a way so simple
that any municipal plant could adopt
it with success If its superintendent
were good at figures. And the best of
It is that it makes competition by pri-
vate plants impossible because-well,
stockholders are too inqulsitive.
In the first place the fixed charges
for interest on the capital invested and
for depreciation were entirely ignored.
Then no allowance was made for taxes
lost by having municipal instead Of
private ownership. Next while full
charge was made against the water de-
partment and the city offices for lights
and supplies, the superintendent con-
veniently forgot to charge the lighting
plant with the water used In its boil
ers and condensers or with its share Of
the salaries In the city accounting de-
partment. Insurance was also over
looked. Finally, to make assurance OF
profit doubly sure, a number of items
pertaining to maintenance
were charged to new construction"
At the same time the charge for street
and public building lights was quite as
high as in surrounding cities served
by private companies, which had some
how or other to provide for all these
omitted items.
1t is perhaps needless to add that ex-
cept for the judicious way in which the
superintendent prepared his report n
deficit would have appear
ed instead Of the gratifying profits. OF
course the taxpayers will have to pro-
vide the money to make good these pa
per profits, but they may not for some
years see the connection between their
profitable plant and the higher tax
rate, and meanwhile are happy in the
of its profits and will
testify enthusiastically to the
benefits of municipal ownership.
From the above we may deduce the
rule for showing a profit:
First, omit all items Of expense that
can without too much danger of de-
lection be saddled upon the general
tax list or other departments; second,
charge in as vague a way as possible
TO new construction as many items of
as may be necessary to
show a large profit. (N. B.-The profit
must be large to provide for the con-
tingency of some carping critic discov-
ering one or more of the concealed
items of expense and ruthlessly draw
ing them forth from their hiding
places.)
If the above rule is scrupulously fol
lowed there seems TO be no reason
why every municipal plant should not
show a profit-"Concerning Municipal
Ownership"

GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.
Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful Muniei-
pal Lighting Plants.

pal Lighting Plants.
During the past few years at least
sixty cities and towns in the United
States have sold, leased or abandoned
their lighting plants. In a few cases
they still retain their distributing sys-
TEN, buying the current from some
company, but in most instances they
have gone out of the business entirely.
A number of other places have made
unsuccessful efforts to dispose of their
plants.
As with few exceptions municipal
lighting plants have been in operation
but short time, this is a remarkable
showing of failure and one, 1t need
hardly be said, that is sedulouSly avoid
ed by those who for ends Of their own
are urging other cities to make similar
experiments.
As it usually takes some years for
city to realize how great a burden
1t Is carrying In its lighting plant, 1t
is probable that the number of admit
ted failures will increase rapidly from
now on, for, as an eminent electrical
engineer recently said, There are al
ready indications that a considerable
number of these municipalities which
have engaged in improper undertak-
hgs are entering upon a period Of
financial difficulty"

THE COUNTY UNIT LAW.
The Court of Appeals VIII Settle the
ConstitutlonaIity of The Law In
January.

Judge Hobson, Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals, has set case from
Lincoln county for an oral argument
early in the January term. The case will
be of considerable interest in Hardin
county as it involves the points raised
here on the County Unit Law. In the
Lincoln county case iu question the
town of Stanford is a Fifth Class city.
1t voted as a corporation and went
"wet" A month after an election was
was heldin the entire county of Lincoln
including the town of Stanford and
went dry" The saloonkeepers of
Stanford applied to the city council for
a renewal of license and the council re-
fused. The case was then taken to the
Circuit Court and it sustained the
action of the council. From this de-
cision the saloon keepers have appealed
to the Court of Appeals and in January
the question will be determined .-Eliz-

ONE DOLLAR
FOR A MAN
Sold at Auction In EIizabethtOwn
For Nine Months For Va
granCy.
EIizabethtown News.

Elizabethtown News.
Dock Aubury, convicted of vagrancy,
was sold yesterday afternoon at the
west door of the courthouse by Sheriff
George Yates to satisfied a judgment
and order of the Hardin Circuit Court.
Aubrey was tried in the November term
of court and was ordered sold by Judge
Weed S. Chelf after his conviction by a
Jury. The Sheriff's sale announcement
which was posted on the advertising
board at the east end of the courthouse
created considerable excitement and
comment throughout the county on
account of the rariety and infrequency
of such sales. The unusual procedure
attracted a large crowd which was
quieted into silence by the appearance of
the Sheriff and the prisoner upon the
block. The Sheriff announced the re-
ouirements exacted of him by the law
and stated that the sale would be for
cash in hand. Sheriff Yates then asked,
"How much am offered for the services
of this man for nine months" A by
stander bid so cents. The crowd Jeered.
The Sheriff then assured the crowd that
Auburv was sound and able bodied and
that he never had been injured by hard
work. He then made a further solici-
tation for bidders. J. J. Johnson,
blacksmith and farmer of near Riney-
Vile. doubled the bid. Appeals were
then made by the Sheriff for other
bidders, but he received no response.
Auburv was then knocked off to Mr..
Johnson for the small sum of 81.
Auburv was born and raised on Meet
ing Creek, where Mountain Dew is
manufactured in its virgin purity bythe
elusive "moonshiners. He is a typi-
cal specim9nt of the backwoodman, Is
a perfect stranger to a.frst-class bill-of
fare and is decidedly partial to home
made apparel. It is alleged that Aubury
has always been averse to labor OF any
kind and considered it the drudgery of
slaves. He was never known to follow
anv vocation with any regularity or
presistency. Aubury recently movedto
Stephensburg, where the "even tenor
of his way" was ruthlessly changed.
He married a Young woman in that
vicinity which ended in his present sad
predicament. The relatives Of his wife
claimed he did not properly support her
and refused all aid from her relatives.
It is claimed that his wife's relatives
then had him indicted for vagrancy and
caused i'm TO be sold into servitude for
a period of nine months. The question
is now whether or not Aubury's pur-
chaser has bonanza or an elephant on
his hands.
Auburv has no trade and very
little information of any manual labor
whatever. Outside Of this, Aubury says,
you can lead a horse to water, but
YOU can not make him drink. These
time-worn words are perhaps significant
and will probably cause his purchaser
trouble.
Mr.. Johnson is a burly, heavy weight
and farmer and it is highly
probable that he will succeed in teach
ing Aubury agriculture and the art Of
blacksmithing.
The sale of man for vagrancy in
this county is seldom made. The only
instance of a similar sale that can be
called to mind was the sale of Lawrence
Peak in1S96 by Deputy Sheriff NJ. II.
Williams. Peak was also sold at low
price, ne being bought by Bill Bell a
for Sl5.75.

The doctor talked steady stream at

man. He had liked him from the start,

Ryder said what he had to say with
