TIGERS 4 PC-LiC M-iiACG
P>epls and Stock Arc Killed by Sav- age Beasts in Mexican
 Tarritory.

7iEers. driven from their mountat1 airs in the territory of Topic by ths scarcity of food. continue to ravage the hAeiendas of the valleys. They are be- coming such . general danger, says the Mexican Herald. that the municipal au- Aorities have offered . reward eS y1e tor every tigers skin.
 For the past several months great numbers of the animals have swarmeA through the marshes of the lowlands along tho coast and in the valleys oi the territory of Topic, having bsea driven out Of the states of sinaloa and Sonora by the floods and the axtrvm ely esid weather. The damage aAwssd to the haciendados and tAe daaEs, In. cured by the pressAas o9 ths animala vas such that many eR Aam offered rewards for the sIktae og sAS sziA4sls some time ago.
 The tigers. however, seem Co like the warm weather and the good food that they are getting la Topic and instead ol dsoreasing their numbers have greatly Increased within the last few weeks. Now the municipal authorities of the territory have also offered a reward for tho skins of the animals.
 The tigers have become so bold tha. they will enter the houses on the plan. tations and help themselves to what. aver comes in their path. Several deaths are reported in different parts of the territory. In many sections of the state 1t is necessary to have armed guards stationed at night, to insure the safety of the other people in the settlements.
 Live stock is suffering more than anything else. With the slight pro. visions that are necessary for the shel. ter of the stock, 1t leaves them in most cases without any protection st all from the beasts. Even the presence of numerous guards around a bunch o1 cattle Is oftentimes insufficient to keer the tigers from getting away with au animal or two from along tho edges of the herd
 Hunting for the animals has been greatly stimulated by the offers of the government and scores of hunters are securing the country for them. The number of the skins that have beep turned in thus far is large and 1t is hoped that 1t will not be long before tne animals are driven back to the exclusion of the mountains.

aiiliing Strength

A weak and exhausted con- dition usually follows over- work, too close confinement, or unusual mental strain. Every day a certain amount of vital ity is consumed, and if not re- plenished by sleep, rest and nourishment, soon wrecks the nervous system. The results are sleeplessness, headache, indigestion, imperfect circula- ton, etc., which affects the organs of the body.
 Restore your nerve strength your vitality, with Dr. Miles Nervine, and your whole sys- tenn will recuperate.

Explosions on Old Battle-Fields.

Explosions on Old Battlc-F1eldS.
 The forests in the mountains known as Loudon Heights, opposite Harper's Ferry, took fire recently and burned with great intensity. After some time a series of explosions were heard which startled the inhabitants, and the concussion was so great that 1t broke windows in some houses in Harper'a Ferry, across the Shenandoah. The ex- plosions were caused by the bursting of shells which had been thrown op the heights at the time when Gen Mills surrendered to Stonewall Jack. son in 1862. These had failed to ex. plode when they were fired, and had remained there for more than 40 years, IN. Y. World.

The Automobile Regulations,

The fact that comparatively few people
nave been injured or killed in this city as
result of the reckless driving of motor
cars should not be regarded as a reason for
extending the speed limits or otherwise
weakening the law for the regulation OF
chauffeurs. It is a fair assumption that
this relative immunity from disaster is due
IN large part to the educational and re-
strtctive operation of the law, which is
therefore an excellent safeguard, to be pre-
served and strengthened The Commission
ers now have before them the Sims bill and
an alternative proposition from the local
motorists. The former proposes fmprison-
ment for persistent offenders against the
regulations. and the latter seeks to amend
the law by permitting a certain variation
of speeds according to the section of the
city and the hour of the day.
The wisdom OF both of these measures
may well be questioned, The imprison-
ment of scorching chauffeurs seems to be
too harsh a remedy for an offense which
is at best only potentially dangerous to life
and limb. Better would be a method OF
treatment putting a stop to the possibility
of further violations by the same indvid
uaI, by cancellation of license after a
certain number of convictions. 1t is ex-
tremeiy doubtful whether weil-intending
chauffeur would make three or four honest
mistakes as to his speed after being
warned by the law of the penalty which
awaits successive infractions of the rule.
In treating these street dangers, actual
and potential, no discrimination should be
shown in favor of or against sections of the
city. The fast-moving motor car Is as dan
gerous on street 1t is on F street. The
whIzzing corner cutter is as great men,
ace to life IN the suburbs as IN the city.
The District should be regarded as whole
in this matter. The relief from the speed
restrictions of the business district after
passing the fire limits would grant permits
sion to scorch on the country roads not to
be checked by the theoretical speed limit
imposed for the rural area.
One OF the chief dangers In extending the
speed limits, with or without section dis
examinations, Is that the motorists are
likely in a season or two to be seeking fur
Their extensions. And another danger is
that II this class of vehicles, running with
out tracks and therefore difficult for the
pedestrian to guard against, Is given spe
cial freedom of movement and speed in
certain parts of the city. other vehicles.
notably the street cars. will be entitled to
a similar dispensation. One grant leading
to another, Washington will soon become
city of speeding cars and motors. It's streets
unsafe TO pedestrians and drivers.
The present speed limits are reasonably
liberal. and the only change the regula-
tions require is that which will enable the
courts to put definitely out Of business
those who make a mock of the law and per
sist in violating It.

The Metric System and World Trade.

A representative Of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers yesterday ap-
peared before the House committee on
coinage. weights and measures to urge
the passage OF the Littauer bill providing
for the official adoption of the metric sys-
tenn by the United States government. The
argument of such men for the international
Standardization OF American weights and
measures Isl based upon practical considera-
tons which affect large and growing Ok
port trade, The metal manufactures of
this country are now going into all parts of
the world Machinery of every kind. locomo-
tives. bridges, building materials and the
like in demand at rate which keeps
the mills busy over time to supply the
market. One of the chief obstacles to the
further extension of this trade. in which
the American manufacturers are meeting
the determined opposition of British and
German producers, Is the fact that 1t is
necessary in laying down goods abroad.

Statehood in the Senate.

Debate on the statehood bill will probably
be as interesting in the Senate as 1t was
IN the House. and 1t is certain to be more
protracted. But that Is all right. The ses-
sion is young. and there Is time for every
body who has word TO say. No new points
are likely to be made. but we should hear
the old ones well summed up. AS usual
both sides profess confidence. Both sides,
IT must be admitted, are well represented.
The Star hopes for the passage of the bill
as It passed the House. 1t meets the occa-
sion fully, and il IS high time to dispose of
a question which has always been embar-
RAISING and does not simplify we go on.
Arizona and New Mexico will get along
well enough together once the start is made,
and certainly the country at large has every
reason to wish them united. United they
come in; divided they stay. out.

YOUNGSTOWN and Dramatic Art.

A certain celebrated French actress now
touring this country-whose press agent will
probably furnish her name upon application
gave a "one-night' performance recently
at Youngstown. Ohio. thriving. growing
city. with perhaps a keener eye for coal and
iron manufactures than for dramatic art.
Whether the weather was unpropitioas. or
the title of the play was unattractive. the
church socials were more than unusually
numerous and well attended that night, the
melancholy fact remains that the great
actress was greeted by only a sparse audi
ence. Her artistic soul was offended when
she peeped through the curtain and counted

save IN English territory, to adjust to an
unfamiliar standard. If the American trade
were expressed in metric terms 1t would be
easy for the manufacturers In this country
to meet the requirements OF the foreign
market. The engineers whose representa-

committee are directly interested In this

here to an old and arbitrary standard
which Is out OF harmony with the require
ments OF q majority OF the buying peoples
of the world. Great as have been the
advances of American goods In the foreign
market during the past few decades. 1t Is
not to be doubted that it would have been
greater still had the manufacturers In this
country been accustomed to the use OF the
decimal system. The world requires a
universal standard. It is impossible to
bring the continental countries of Europe
to adopt the English-American standard
which Is without Justification IN Its arbi-
trary terms and scales The only alterna-
tive Is for England and the United States
to adopt that system which has the sane
ton already of virtually all Europe and is
Furthermore logical and easy of under

Abuse Of the Parole Power.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

few days ago 1t was thought necessary
so bring in a new indictment against a
notorious Cleveland bank robber now IN
the penitentiary in order to head off a
movement to effect his release on parole
Now a somewhat similar case comes from
Columbus, where convict has been set
free in spite of the protest of the county
prosecutor and the trial judge. These In
stances come to light so often as to give
too much reason for the popular belief that
no man with money or pull need stay
long In the state penitentiary and that the
parole system as administered Is partly
an encouragement to crime and partly
completely in IT.

She extended her denunciation to the whole
United States. Some of her expletiyes FL
tered through the curtain and the small but
faithful band of Youngstownians huddled
in front thought that the stage hands were
having a row. When the play began the
great actress. still trembling with artistic
rage, ran through her lines IN mechanical
fashion, disdaining to give the unapprecia-
tive denizens of the coal and iron belt an
example of her real powers. The house was
cold This irritated the artistic still fur
Their, and at last she forgot the traditions OF
the stage and interpoiated a few remarks
into her lines reflective upon the stupidity
of the dwellers of the west and their in
ability to understand true greatness. She
put much fire and feeling into her COM
ments that the audience. few in the house
being able to understand French, recognized
an outcropping OF the famous dramatic
genius of which they had heard. They were
delighted with the burst of genuine feeling,
and began to applaud. The actress thought
her auditors were sarcastic In their demon
stration and gave them a few more sharp
observations on American stupidity. where
upon the house rose to the occasion and
optdid itself with manifestations of sincere
appreciation. This Modified the actress
who resumed her role and proceeded with
her work in such spirited fashion that the
house continued its evidences of hearty ap-
prevail throughout. And those in front who
had caught the sense of the diatribe against
Youngstown which evoked the first outburst
OF applause were wise enough to keep the
secret. So, with these very few exceptions,
youngstown is happy in the reflection that
1t has risen to the level of French dramatic
art and the great actress is happy, on her
side, in the feeling that she scored a tri-
umph even with handful of the benighted
inlanders of America
