Interview With j G. TrimOle, Jr

business in New York City, hut a
,.natiye Of Kentucky, was at the
Riggs chatting with old time
fri4nds and discussing ple''y much

ans out politics.

Mr.. Trimble. still, it is hard
for a native-boln KentGckian TO
put DO tiles behind him, for |
guess about all OF us are born
politicians. I've just reached
Washington after 10000 mile

a single crop from one ocean to
the other that is not yellding IN
abundance. ami if the farmers

Mr.. Trimble is interested in COP
per mining, and during his visit in
the West inspected some OF the
properties he and his associates
are developing.
"In the mining as well as OTHER
industrial enterprises, success is
coming to those who have made in
vestments." he said. "There are
some people in New York who ex-
press the fear of panic in the
nearfuture, but from my point of
view nothing of the kind is immi-
nent. Money rates have been a
little high there for a time, but
some persons look upo this as a
good rather Than a bad sign. 1t

admit that the crowded streets of
New York cheering for Bryan was
equivalent to his nomination two
years hence, or that the sentiment
for President Roosevelt through
out the country meant that he
must again be his party's candidate
"Shakespeare was the greatest

ever knew" he said, "and the peo-
pie of today are the same as those

means that instead of specializing
on money that can be borrowed at
very low ra es, the people are TAX
ing their own funds and investing
them in good stocks, obtaining the
actual certificates and putting them
awsy in their strong boxes, where
the speculator cannot get hold of
them Some of the best stocks in
the market have disappeared in
this way in large quantities, and
where transactions involving the
transfer of thousands of shares
were quoted in the street few
weeks ago, the sales of the same
stocks are now limited to a few
shares. 1t is healthy indication
and certainly does not bespeak
panicky conditions"
Referring to the sentiment of
the country with regard to candi-
da'es. so far as the two great par
ties were concerned, he observed

Editor maryland h7debeAaent.
II is said that in Denmark when the
police find man helpIessly drunk in the
street. they drive the patient in a cab to
a station where he sobers off. Then
they take him home. The cabman
makes his chorge, the police doctor
makes his, the agents make their claims
for special duty and this duty bill is
presented to the landlord Of the estab-
lishment where the drunkard took the
last drink that caused his intoxieation.
Suppose we should adopt law of that
kind in this country.
But what about the official who sells
the license to the saloon-keeper to sell
whiskey to the man to make him drunk?
And what about the legislator who voted
for the law to allow the official to sell
the license to the saloon keeper to sell
the whskey to the man to make him
drunk What about the christian who
voted for the legislator to vote for the
law to allow the official to sell the
license to the saloon keeper to sell
whiskey to the man to make him drunk
Should nothing be done with any Of
them.
The saloons m ust be closed. If one
means should fail we must seek some
other. Very respectfully,
b. L.W.

Church Burned.

The Episcopal Church in this towr
was burned on Sunday last between 3
and 8 O'Clock. The cause of the fire was
defective heater. The sexton made a
FIRE in the furnace at O'Clock in the
morning to warm the church for after
noon service and then locked the church
up and left IT, In the afternoon at about
2 O'Clock when he went again to the
building to open it for O'Clock service,
the church was so filled with dense
smoke that he could not enter. An
alarm was at once sounded, the fire
corps Of the town poured heavy streams
Of water upon the building and every
other effort made, but the structure
could not be saved. The fire was rapid,
and within a short while after It broke
out the building was but a smoldering
heap Of ashes. The heavy stone walls
are not supposed to be injured. The
property was insured in the Home Fire
Insurance Company of New York for
100000. The furniture nor anything
else in the church was insured. Through
the efforts of DR.. T. S. Owen and Mr..
John S. Button the Communion service
was saved. The several beautiful memo
rials donated by Mrs. Jennie Stone, Mrs.
Lilly Roberts and others went with the
wreck. The church had only been re-
Gently built and, it is said, cost about
$4,000. The first religious service held
in the beautiful ediice was on Easter
Sunday Of last year. Rev. Mr.. George
c. Graham was Rector of the church.
The insurance will, it is said, be i'm
mediately adjusted and work of recon
struction at once begun.

well as for myself, our grateful sense of
appreciation for the aid rendered by the

not pause in their work until they were
compelled to stand back by the falling
roof Words area small measure of our

ing power. All the operations of the
body-digestion, assimilation, ABSORB
ton, elimination of poisonous waste and
so on-are carried on by means Of water;
and an insufficient amount of water in
the system means embarrassment Of
every function.
The body Of a man Of average. weight
contains more than half barrel OF
water and such body needs for its
proper operation at least two quarts
daily of pure water. In this connection,
it may not be irrelevant to mention that
the Japanese soldiers, whose surprising
powers are now engaging the admiration
of the world, consume each between two
and four gallons of wafer daily.-Ex.
