Palma to Resign?

Rumors to the effect that Presi-
dent Palma purposes to resign
continue to circulate. They are
given some color by the fact that
General Rafael Montalvo, secre-
tary of public works does not ap.
prove Of the laf ding of the
American sailors from the Den
yer and the fact that the Ameri.
can officers talked with messen-
gers from Alfredo Zayas. Gener.
al Montalvo declines to speak OF
the situation, and the rumor OF
the Presidents resignation can.
not be confirmed in government
quarters.-Havana dispatch.

Merritt Discharged.

The trial Of the negro Jim Mer-
rift was concluded today by his
being discharged from custody.
This was a very peculiar case.
Merritt and Bud Richardson, two
young negroes, premeditated an
assault upon Miss Pearl Jones,
a night telephone operator at this
place, about the 10th Of last June
at a late hour at night. She shot
and killed Richardson, while the
negro Merritt escap I'd, M i s 8
Jones did not see Merritt and the
only evidence against him was
the statement of the Richardson
negro . before he died. Richard
son said that Merritt was with
him, had really laid all the plans
and had gotten him to 60 there
with him, the purpose being to
commit criminal assault. This
statement was put in the form of
an affidavit, properly witnessed
and sworn to, but the Judge held
that it could not be introduced as
evidence, hence there was no evil
dence against him.
It is unanimously believed here
that Merritt was really the guilty
party and should have been pun.
ished, but under the laws it was
impossible to reach him, it being
one of these cases that seems not
to have been provided for in our
laws. It is very unfortunate that
he should escape punishment Oh a
mere technicality, for it tends to
stimulate the spirit of lynch law.
It is generally believed that the
people will not allow him to live
here again, and he was wise to
leave this part of the country at
once upon his discharge by the
court.-Selma, N. c., special to
Charlotte Observer.

Wearying of the necessity of contin-
ually denying what the gossips told
her husband, Mrs. Summer, of Evans
ton, ILL.,, had MIR. Summer arrested on
a charge of disorderly conduct and
then had the gossips subpoened as
witnesses to repeat on oath the gossip
they had circulated. Summer plu m
Der, became n voluntary defendant.
Then he summoned two men to make
good their gossip. They denied under
oath that they knew anything dero.
gatory to Mrs. Summers character.
The wife then dismissed the case
against the happy husband and left
the court indicated. A most ingenious
and most effective scheme, this, To
compel ISLANDERS to put up or shut mp
and whoever devised it deserves n
medal. Gossip has wrecked many a
home. To be sure the partner that
believes uncorroborated tales ahout
the other scarcely deserves sympathy
but this method of calling" the tale
mongers is a sure one and ought to be
generally adopted. 1t will in time
shut the mouths of slanderous busy
bodies.

Love Lore.

1t is easier to love and be wise than
to be generous and have money.
jealousy is green and does not har-
monte with Loves hair and eyes.
Love laughs at loeksmiths, because
parents don't lock up their daughters
any more.
When Poverty comes in Mt the door
Trueloye engages her on the spot to
do the cooking.
The pity Of Loves blindness is
that marriage is the only oculist that
guaran tees to restore the sight.
Don't complain Of your lovers anna
teurishness. In this you have proof
positive that You are the first.
Show me the sweethearts Of the
land and ] will confess myself that
much more puzzled about the men.
Life gave dinner. aud while it may
not have been a feast from an cpl
cures point Of view, it was u great
success. The guest OF honor was Love.
When Love begins to sicken and
decay, sometimes the tonic OF indif-
ference will effect quicker recovery
than all the careful Nursing in the
world

Ground Waters of the Trlasslc Area IL
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York

The Hydrograhic Branch of the
United States Geological Survey ia
about to begin an investigation of tho
friassic area Of the Middle Atlantic
States. This area, which occupies II
narrow strip i'll southeastern Penn
sylyania. broadens toward tho north
east passing across north central
New Jersey into Rockland County,
New York. From an industrial stand
point this il one of the most import
ant regions of the United States. In
cluded within its limits are such cities
as York, Lancaster, Reading, Potts
vile, Trenton, Newark, Paterson,
Elizabeth and Jersey City, while
Harrisburg lies close to its northwest
ern border and Philadelphia is but a
few miles below its southeastern
boundary. The rocks of the area
compromise red sandstonea, shale,
and trap, thoroughly cut up by two or
more systems of interseoting, deeply
penetrating joints and assures, and
the water il uncertain i'll occurrence
and variable in quantity. OF the
many attempts to procure good
waters in this section comparatiy ely
few have been successful, chiefly be-
cause the fundamental conditions
have never been systematically studi-
ed and hence are practically unknown.
This interstate Investigation by the
United States Geological Survey Will
include careful study of the effect
OF the joints and assures ON the oc-
currence of the ground waters and
the determination of tho depth aud
inclination of the water bearing beds
at each locality. Analyses will he
made to ascertain the character of the
waters and their effect, favorable or
unfayorable, upon steam boilers and
upon manufactured products of vari-
Gus kinds. The report on this work,
which will be published for FREQ dis
tributlon will be eminently practica
in character, and the facts will DO 40
presented that the average reader can
readily obtain Just the information he
may desire concerning the ground
water supplies of any locality.
