LOUlSlANA'S MONOPOLY.

Definite plans, now being laid
upon stable practical foundation,
for persistent aud aggressive effort
in furtherance of the development
of Louisiana, direct attention to
a rather unique gift of that State.
To a certain extent it may be
likened to the stem of an old fash
Toned hour glass, with all of the
potential monopoly thereuntO per-
tanning, and, indeed, much more of
the monopoly than the hour glass
possesses. In the glass nothing
passes through the stem but sand,
and the only function of the glass
is to mark time. Moreover, when
one of its bulbs or tunnels has ex-
hausted itself the glass is of no fur
Their use until it be turned upside
down. The resemblance of Louis
lana to the hour-glass' stem is
found in the fact that it is the
natural channel for the passage,
under the direct and indirect motive
power of the Mississippi river, of
a mighty, ever-increasing stream
of wealth from the immense funnel
of territory drained by that river
and its tributaries into the great
funnel Of the streams of foreign
commerce. The tremendous ad-
vantage that Louisiana has over
the stem of the hour-glass is that
through it both tunnels may ope-
rate reciprocally and at the same
time, and to the immediate and re-
mote benefit of Louisiana. From
the upper funnel flow through the
State corn, wheat, iron, coal, lum-
Der, rice, cotton, sugar, cattle,
flour and provisions on their Way to
distant market, and from the lower
come coffee, ores, fine lumber,
chemicals, drugs, spices, tobaccas,
sugar, rice, potash, soda,
fruits and host of other articles
on their way to the great interior
Of The country. In the coming aud |

INSANITY EASILY CURED.

DR.. Sucking, Of Birmingham,
claims to have made the remarkable
discovery that large proportion of
the cases of insanity and other ner-
vous diseases are due to movable
kidneys, and may be cured in few
months by comparatively simple
operation.
DR.. Sucking is an instructor in
London University, is consulting
physician to Queens and other hos
pitfalls in Birmingham and is author
of book on the diseases of the
nervous system.
The details of the discovery are
fully described in the book just pub
lished, and should all he claims for
it prove correct, it is possible that
lunacy may be reduced by nearly
one half.
81 have found that a movable
kidney is present." DR.. Sucking
says, GIN about 40 per cent of the
women and 6 or 9 per cent of the
men suffering from nervous dis.
orders. Many women have com
mitted suicide or have been sent to
asyIums who might have been
saved had the conditions of their
kidneys been discovered.
''ln my own practice | can recall
four cases of suicide. One patient,
while awaiting admission to hos
pital drowned herself. Three. Others
whose parents would not allow
them to be operated upon, or who
had been frightened by friends
about operations, also drowned
themselves. Another case had to
be removed to an asylum because /
was not supported ia my advice"
As to the causes of this complaint |
hey are many, aud among those
by DR.. Sucking are
light corsets, high-heeled shoes,
'alls from bicycle or horse, pulling

leavy weights. The modern craze

1fruid Of Strong Medicines.
Many people suffer for years from rhel-

than take the strong medicines usually
given for rheumatism, not knowing that
quick relief from pain may be had simply
by applying Chamberlain Pain Balm and

STOREKEEPERS
GET new JOBS
Collector StrattOn Looks After
Men Burned Out OF
Positions.
Finds Them Other Work Until
Warehouses Are
Rebuilt.

Owing to the destruction of many
United States bonded warehouses by
fire six storekeepers were thrown out
of employment, and Customs Collector
Stratton at once took steps to retain
the men in the Customs service wher-
ever he could find an opening. The
six were George II. Fletcher A. H.
Meussdorffer w. L. Courtwright
Charles j. Comyns. M. Lipowitz and
j. w. Stapleton. Fletcher was offered
and accepted a minor position paying
$1,000 per annum-s200 less than
storekeepers salary-formerly held
by T. M. Belton, deceased Messrs
Comyns and Lipowitz accepted posi-
tions as messengers at $1100 per an
mum. Stapleton haughtily and in
dignantly rejected with scorn a like
offer.
He called the Collectors attention
to the quantity and quality of the
Influence" which had been massed
in his behalf when he first became an
applicant for a Custom house job.
The Collector remembered. but was
not at all dismayed, and despite the
vast influence at Stapleton's beck and
call declined to discharge some $1400
or $500 man to give that influential
parsonage a job. The others have not
yet been heard from.
Collector Stratton said yesterday
that 1t was his intention to reinstate
the storekeepers as soon as ware
houses are built and in operation. He
expects that one will be ready inside
of two weeks.
Don r. Jacks, night inspector, was
appointed yesterday to the position of
Deputy Collector for the new sub
port of San Luis Obispo and Port
Hartford, and departed at once to as
sumo his duties there.
Collector Stratton reports the cash
receipts for duties since the earth
quake and fire to be as large as at
any other equal time during the year,
the volume and value of the import
business not having decreased by rea-
son of the calamity. The value of
checks received for duty was $4,000,
all of which have been converted into
gold coin. A cargo of opium arrived
on the Manchuria a few days ago,
and the duty on the drug has been
estimated in round numbers at
s250.ooo.

HOUSE Votes
FOR Big ship
Appropriation for Giant War
Vessel Remains in the
Naval Bill.
Final Action to Be Taken
Today on Measure Car
rying $lOO.OOO.OO0.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The naval
appropriation bill, carrying nearly
$1O0,O00,000, was completed today in
the House after one of the busiest
days of the present Congress.
The feature of the days debate grew
out of the attempt to defeat the ap-
propriation for the largest battleship
of its class in the world, and the tenor
of the speeches for the big ship was
that the American republic must be
abreast OF the nations of the world in
the strength Of her navy. The op-
ponents talked for peace, disarmament
and arbitration. and insisted that
there was no national need of such a
large navy.
The amendment introduced by Bur
ton Of Ohio to strike out the appro-
priation for a rival to the English
Dreadnaught was defeated, as was the
amendment leaving the construction
of the battleship to the discretion Of
the Secretary Of the Navy after the
second Hague conference. A final vote
on the bill will be taken tomorrow.
Williams of Mississippi, the minor
ity leader, In opposing the battleship
appropriation. satirically suggested an
amendment that in view Of the Brit
ish having decided to name their sea
monster Dreadnaught, the American
sea monster be named "Skeered O.
Nothin'" as being typical of the ma
tional spirit; that on its completion
the captain in command be authorized
to challenge the Dreadnaught to a
duel loutrance (to the death), and
that the President and his Cabinet,
with the exception of the Secretary
of Agriculture, who is a nom combat
ant, be invited to places on the quar-
terdeck as evidences of the strenuous
life; the sea fight to take place at New
port.
The amendment was ruled out Of
order, but Williams, as we'll as the
House, had a good deal Of fun out
OF 1t.
Hayes Of California offered an
amendment providing that any bid for
the construction Of any of the vessels
upon the Pacific Coast shall have a
differential of per cent in it's favor,
which shall be considered by the Sec
retary Of the Navy in awarding con-
tracts for the construction Of such
vessels, and 1t was adopted, ayes Is,
noes 76.
Rixey Of Virginia presented an
amendment limiting the cost of armor
plate to $3.50 a ton. The amendment
was defeated, 5S to 11S.
