In the Worlds Work for October
Jack McGhee writes a near at hand
view Of Senator Tillman, from which
the following is quoted:
Near the center of the senate cham
Der, directly in front of the vice presi-
dent, sits a large, burly. surly looking
man, with a tremendous square head
set upon a pair of broad, square
shoulders, the corners of his mouth
drawn down nearly to the lower mar
gin Of his heavy. square jaws. He is
clean shaven-that is he is shaver:
perhaps it was the day before yester-
day that he shaved. His thick. slightly
gray hair is disheVelled. and he wears
just such clothes as you would expect
to see on a man who says on the floor
of the senate, II am a rude man and
don't care, But when he rises from
his seat ana addresses the chair in a
high pitched. almost whining voice,
standing somewhat nervously, one
er, his one dark brown, glistening eye
flashing through the room like
searchlight, the other senators put
down their newspapers and slowly turn
in their seats; those walking about in
stinctively tread more softly or stop in
their tracks; the many necks IN the
visitors galleries are craned to get a
better view. and there is q movement
er the front. THE only thing that
ever happens in the senate wrote
correspondent one day. "is Senator Till
man." Beyond doubt he is the most
interesting figure in that body Of ex-
ceptionally interesting men.
IT may not be able to shed much
light in this body, Mr.. President, - he
observed one day as he Interrupted a
debate between two great constitution
al lawyers with a homely, direct ques-
ton which went straight to the point,
but sometimes manage to break the
glass"

PUT PISTOL CARRIERS IN JAIL.
The fact is that pistol carrying is not
to be cured by fines at all. Imprison-
ment Is the only penalty that will reach
it, and then not completely. STILL
much may be done by making the
penalty inhexible. Jail, without the
majority of pistol carriers who now
take the chance of a $50 fine and who
ordinarily get off with one of $40 or
s15- The noncriminaI pistol carrier
does not want to take the chances of
going behind the bars. OF course, it
may be said. and truly. that neither
fine nor Imprisonment will deter the
professional criminal from carrying 4
pistol, that being one of the imple-
ments of his trade. 1t is also said that
TO disarm the law-abiding citizen is
only to improve the chances of the
thug. This, too, may be admitted, with
the reservation that the man who car
ries a pistol is not a law-abiding citi-

Next TO the discovery OF a way to
keep babies-from crying in the middle
of the night, theJ thing most sorely
needed for the improvement of the
public health is a change in the SPELL
ing Of English words. OF course, there
are 150,0O0,000 or so of cranks who
use the existing method Of spelling
and who will protest against the
change. but these fellows are so near
sighted that they would even protest
If any gentleman went through their
pocketbooks without asking their per-
mission. What they may do or say.
therefore, need not be given the
slightest attention. They may insist
that the old way is good enough for
them: that it has some uniformity
about it; that the proposed style is
just as hard for the young pupil to
learn as the existing, and. therefore,
the young student, while he is about
it. might just as well learn the present
and thereby keep in touch with the
millions who use 1t and the masters
the croakers may add that they do
not wish to unlearn what they know
to crafty the exploiters of the new
system. Did anyone ever hear of such
absurd arguments? The dolts who say
such things are the kind to refuse to
ride in an airship to Europe, on the
ground that 1t wouldn't be safe. The
tsimplified'' system of spelling has all
the best of the argument. First of all
it is difficult. That makes 1t. worth
while It is unnecessary. That en-
titles it to popularity. IT is incompre-
hensible. That ought to make it in
teresting for young ladies' debating
societies. It looks strange to the eye.
That ought to recommend it to i'm
pressionist painters. 1t is freakish.
That wins at once the favor of all cir
Gus promoters. Aand we could go on
indefinitely, pointing out its virtues
and ractions.-Louisville Courier

Presbyterian Church.

An unusually large congrega-
ton greeted Rev. II. Nj. Perkins
at the Presbyterian church Sun
day evening, attracted by the an
nouncement that the sermon
would be delivered on the sub
iect True Education. The
audience was composed largely
of persons directly or indirectly
interested in matters of educa-
tion, and all expressed them
selves in terms of high praise of
both the matter contained in the
sermon and the manner of its de
livery. Reverend Perkins spoke
of education as physical, intell-
ectual, and spiritual, and earn
estly and eloquently urged that
more attention be given to spir-
itual education as the most inn
portant of all forms of educa-
ton.

STILL DEVELOPING WATER.
Mayor Bursum Still Increasing the
Flow of Life Giving Fluid
for Socorro.

Mayor BurSum still has men at
work developing the flow of So
corro's water supply. The tun-
mel that Mr.. Bursum began some
time ago few yards north Of
the spring has now been driven
ninety feet into the mountain
and will probably be driven Il
hundred feet further. Several
large streams of water have all
ready been opened in creviceS in
the rocks, with the result that
the city'S water supply has been
greatly increased. 80 much in
increased, in fact, that it is cs-
timated that half of it Is now
going to waste because the city
mains are not large enough to
carry it. What the effect of
driving the tunnel another hum
dred feet will be, is problematical.
1t is but reasonable to suppose,
however, that the flow of water
will become so great that
mains of three or four times the
capacity of those now in use will
be an absolute neceissty. MayOr
Bursum may be relied upon to
solve the problem.

Confident That This Yenr Will Be
Ono of Most Successful in
Schools History.

Now that work at the School
of Mines is once more we'll under
way. it is possible to form Il toll
erably correct estimate OF condi-
tiouS and prospects at the inSt-
tuition. In til, first place, the
enrolment Is somewhat larger
than that for the same date last
wear The grade OF the students
in attendance Is quite satiSfac-
tory also, about twenty having
enrolled in the regular collegiate
courses. Others are expected To
arrive soon 10 increase the mum
Der in these courses. President
Noble now has the situation well
in hand and is well pleased with
present conditions and with pros
poets He is confident that the
School will soon add others to
the number OF the graduates who
are doing such valuable mining
work in many of the camps of
the southwest and of Mexico.
All things considered, the friends
of the School OF Mines have
good reason to feel we'll satisfied
with the work the institution is
now doing and with the pros
poets of its doing still better
work, or at least more work of
the same kind, in the future.
