Hamilton County in Contempt.

Sheriff Ship of Hamilton county,
Tennessee, had been cited to appear
before the United States supreme
court for contempt when the voters of
his county, knowing that he stood
charged by the highest court with con-
tempt, deliberately attempted to over
rule the order of the court. They re-
elected Snlpp sheriff Ethically speak
ing that act puts the county of Hamil-
ton, of which shipp is sheriff in con-
tempt also.
The country has by no means seen
the end of the Johnson case. There
are many in and out of Chattanooga
who believe he was innocent After
the United States supreme court had
issued an order staying his execution,
a mob broke into the Jail and took him
to a nearby bridge, where he was
lynched No precautions had been
taken to render the jail secure against
attack, and the sheriff who took no
steps to guard Johnson has been re-
elected by considerable majority.
When the supreme court meets in
the fall there will be something do
ing in the Johnson case. II may read
lily become historic case, and Sheriff
Ship may as readily be put where he
cannot serve another term as sheriff.
The entire matter is attracting no little
attention in the newspapers of the
country, and the general opinion Is
tnat Hamil, n county is in contempt,
not only of the highest court Of the
land, but also of public opinion which
still favors the execution of the laws.

soutI, Americans NaturalIzed.

Ever since the opening of the Pan
American congress at Rio de Janeiro there
has been a notable Increase in the number
of South Americans who have presented
themselves in the United States circuit
court to declare their intention of be-
coming citizens of this country" said a
Washington man.
Formerly the South American who APP
peared to forswear allegiance to his native
land was such rarity that the very fact
was certain to be made a matter of COM
ment among the attaches of the court,
but since Secretary Root has been car
rying everything before him in the Bra
lillian capital it has been no unusual thing
for five or six natives of republics lying
south of the Panama ditch line to make
application in a day for first citizenship
papers. Most of the applicants give the
country of their nativity as either Brazil
or Colombia: several of the Brazilians
have said that Secretary Roots visit to
Rio has been responsible for their wish
Ing to become North Americans by choice.
and the Colombians. 1t would seem, have
since their arrival here come to look at
the Panama canal affair from another
viewpoint. The Venezuelans are notable
by their absence from the list"

No Fever This Year.

The summer is slipping away with
out developing single case of yellow
fever In this country 1t is not prob.
able that a case will appear in this
country this year, or in fact in any
other year, simply because New Or
leans Is alert. No doubt yellow fever
could be brought in through other
ports, but the chances are that if New
Orleans remains without a case the
country will not be assailed by the pest
through any other port. New Orleans
is IT'S real hotbed
But New Orleans has changed its en-
tire policy It'believes now as strongly
in publicity as it formerly did in con
ceaIment. Any suspicious case is re
ported to other boards of health even
before it has been investigated, and
physicians in that state who do not re
mort to the state board of health sus
picjous cases are prosecuted. The value
value of frankness and publicity are
fully appreciated in the entire state OF
Louisiana. and there is no insincerity
in it. The folly of the reverse policy
became apparent last year, and II WIZ

THEY NEEDED THE MOON.
Custom of Old Time Doctors In New
England Town Explained.

From the New York Sun.
Up in a New England town there is a
medical society which is of sixty years
standing and has the custom of meeting
on the Thursday before the full of the
moon. Recently some of the younger
members tried to change the time of
meeting to the third Wednesday of every
month.
Three of the oldest members rose up and
protested. They gave the reason for the
peculiar arrangement.
when this association was formed. .
said one of them there were not cleo
trio lights and good roads the way there
are now The society took in the whole
county and it was often difficult matter
for the doctors who lived in the country
to drive home after nightfall
so we called the moon to our aid and
set the date for the Thursday before the
fun of the moon. 1t is bright moonlight
at a seasonable hour then and the doc
tors could see their way home,
II know there is no necessity for such
an arrangement now, but this will seem
like new society. if we do not meet the
Thursday before the full of the moon"

A woMAN,s INVENTION.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"A woman" said paper maker, in
vented blue paper. II was by accident
that she did it, though. Before her time
all paper was white.
''She was the wife of William Eastes,
one of the leading paper makers of Eng
land in the eighteenth century. In pass
ing through the paper plant one day she
dropped big blue bag into vat of pulp.
tastes was stern chap, ana so, since no
one had seen the accident, Mrs. Eastes
decided to say nothing about it.
1.-THE paper in the vat, which should
have been white, came out blue. The
workmen were mystified, Eastes enraged,
while Mrs. Eastes kept quiet. The upshot
was that the paper was sent to London,
marked damaged" to be sold for what
ever it would bring.
''The selling agent in London was
shrewd He saw that this blue tinted
be a wonderful new invention. and he sold
it off like hot cakes at double the white
papers price.
"Eastes soGu received an order for more
of the blue paper-an order that he and
his men waisted several days trying vain
ly to fill
"Then Mrs. Eastes came forward and
told the story of the blue cloth bag. There
was no difficulty after that in making the
blue paper. The papers price remained
very high, Eastes having a monopoly in
making IT.

MRS VANCE ANGRY.

Raleigh N C.-Mrs. Florence Vance.
widow of the late Senator Zezulon B.
Vance, whose home is among the high
North Carolina mountains, not far from
Asheville, has written a scorching letter
published a story about her late husband
and poker game.
In the letter Mrs. Vance, who Is a
Kentuckian by birth. tells the editor that
if she were a man she would simply beat
him TO death. and says that she intends
to sue him, and also the Washington
Post and other papers, which published
the story, the statement being that the
Post was the first TO give 1t currency.
Mrs. Vance says her husband never
PLAYED poker In his life and that she
will not submit to the charge. She is the
second wife of the late senator. who was
widely known all over the United States,
and who was North Cardinals foremost
citizen, having attained a great repula-
ton as a war governor, and statute to
his memory having been placed in the
capitol square five years ago. The sem
ator some years before his death built a
picturesque lodge in the hear of his ma
tive mountains and 1t is mere Mrs. Vance
has spent much of her time since, though
she lives at Washington part of each
year. Her letter is attracting much at
tention in North Carolina, by reason of
its fiery nature, and shows her Kentucky
spirit very clearly. BY faith Senator
Vance was Presbyterian. His stories
and jokes have been the most popular
in North Carolina for more than forty
years. and he was always willing to tell
them at his own expense. The Asheville
paper makes defense for itself largely on
this ground.

Looking Backward.

New York judge of the court of
special sessions-an inferior court of
New York city-has been found who
is willing to decide that the law of that
state restricting the labor of women
and children to the amount of ten
hours a day is "an nnwarranted inva-
sion of constitutional rights. In other
words, this most wise and righteous
judge holds that the liberty of conduct
would be infringed If the restriction
had been twenty hours a day-any de-
Tense of women or children in the mat
ter of hours of labor would be uncon-
stitutional,
Up to the New York decision the
entire trend of decisions had been to-
wards a reasonable reduction of the
hours of labor, especially in the case
of women and children. This has been
done as an exercise of the police power
of the state in the interest of the pub
lie health and morals. The judge of
the court of special sessions seems to
think the state has no police power
no guardianship of health, morals, de-
cency and race advancement.
But there is little use in wasting
words over the decision of a one-horse
judge of an inferior court. His deei-
sion will be attended to in the appel
late courts, where no doubt the big
state will be put on the line that adj

protection OF the weak and helpless.

PERSISTENT QUESTIONS.

Lester White In the New York Sun.
Why do trust companies use the letter
"v' in the word trust" instead of the
letter "u?'
The officials of banks are supposed to
be men Of education and brains and an
authority in business matters, whose
methods of doing business are followed
on that account
What reason or authority have they for
such an asnine way of spelling?
How would one of your editorials look
II all the letters ''u' were taken out and
you wrote the letter W in their places?
What would happen to a clerk in an
up-to-date commercial concern II he were
to follow the example of the bank Of
ficias and misspell his words in that
manner? No clerk of mine could do it and
last very long in my employ. .
The use of bad business forms should
be prohibited, especially the use OF num-
erals in writing dates, as I, 3, '06. Who
can tell year from now which is meant,
seventh month or third month?

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Does II Tend to Diminish Capital
Crime?

Thomas Speed Mosby in Harper's Weekly.
The death penalty, as a feature of the
penal code, is undergoing a process of
evolution which, Judging from the worlds
jurisprudence during the past fifty years,
must result in it's complete extinction. 1t
now exists in forty states of the Ameri-
can union.
In the investigation of this subject, the
writer caused Inquiries to be addressed
to the attorney generals OF these forty
states, asking their opinion as to whether
capital punishment tended to diminish
capital crime.
Eighteen of the forty declined to ex-
press an opinion. Only sixteen of the
attorney generals OF states which inflict
the death penalty declared themselves as
clearly Of the opinion that capital pun
ishment does tend to diminish capital
crime. Two of the forty were positive in
their conviction that the death penalty
does not tend to diminish capital crimes.
and stated their opinion that the death
penalty should be abolished, while four
of the forty gave qualified answers.
In the Ave states of Kansas, Maine,
Michigan. Rhode Island and Wisconsin,
where capital punishment does not exist

tlon of the death penalty, and generally

TO RELIEVE HAY FEVER.

Willard F. Bingham in the New York
Sun.
For the benefit of hay fever sufferers
allow me, through your columns to give
my experience with the disease and the
treatment I have tried to relieve its dis
tress. For forty years I have suffered
with hay fever. in the last few years
accompanied with asthma and bronchitis
The disease l think, can never be cured
but 1t can be relieved, and the treatment
7 have employed with success is as fol-
lows:
Fill Birmingham douche with hot gly-
co-thymoline as hot as can be borne
douche one nostril after the other throw
ing the head back and allowing the liquid
to run into the throat Do this every night
and morning This will clean off the sur
face of the membrane inside the nose.
Dissolve one OF DR.. Sellers antiseptic
tablets in an ounce of water and spray
UP the nostrils, and for this purpose |
have found a vasellne atomizer to be the
best. This will soothe the irritation of the
| nerves in the nose For itching eyes
battle them in hot water. Make pad
| of handkerchief, soak ii In hot water
and lay it across the bridge Of the nose,
pressing it into the corners of the eyes.
The hot water will take the Inflammation
| from the eyes and temporarily stop the
i itching.
Put few drops of carbolic acid in the
water, just enough to make 1t bite with
out burning, but have the carbolic acid
thoroughly dlffused or mixed in the water.
This pad can be kept dampened by wrap
ping 1t in another handkerchief and car
ried in the pocket Whenever the eyes
would itch I would gently press the pad
to the corners of my eyes and the counter
irritant would stop the itching.
Avoid travel where there is dust, es-
pecially railroad travel; keep quiet and
eat lightly. l am convinced that anybody
following out these instructions will ex-
perience the same relief as I have from
this distressing complaint. This year for
] the first time I have gone through the
summer without suffering from hay fever.
