TEDDY TOO POOR TO

He Says Only One Man Can Defeat

The following dispatch from Wash

that he President Is most deeply in.

for the appropriation Of $25 600 for tie

penses of the Executive. lie has told
members of Congress as much, and
openly urged u Democratic rrpresen-
tative to cen,inue to stand for the ap
preparation as matter of wisdom
and right. The Democrat with whom
the President was talking had support
ed the propose amendment to The sun
dry civil bill, making the appropria-
ton, but which went out on point Of
order made by Mr.. Williams.

could buy a ticket and go. but l am
afraid the people would not like me TO
do that. do not think they would
like Inc to accept private car from
the railroads, and am certainly not
able TO hire one."
| Mr.. Roosevelt then made what must
be regarded as most significant re-
mark. He continued "When retire
from the presidency in 1909 l should
like to feel that my successor, Mr..
Bryan, or whoever he may be, will be
in position to visit every section of
the country during his term of office
without having to accept favors of the
railroad companies or to bear the cost
himself"
The practical reiteratiOn by the
President of the declaration made the
night he was elected to the presidency
that he would not accept another term
is significant. His allusion to Mr..
Bryan is not the first of recent days.
He told an intimate friend last week
that Mr.. Bryan would be the Demo-
cratic nominee in 1908, and that there
was but one man in the country who
could beat him. He did not mention
the name of that lOue man, posi- bly,
for reason arising from modesty.
The President seems to take de-
light in furthering the rapidly grow
ing opinion that he is most problem
attic character, and if he does not in.

is at least taking no decided steps to
stop the talk of his being the man in
1908.
The bill mentioned passed the House

BUGS IN BEDS AND IN HEADS.

After all other efforts to discredit
DIR. Foster at the Williamsburg Hos
pital had failed, some more or less in
fluential journals in the State poured
out denunciatory articles against him
because there was testimony which
showed bugs In the beds of one ward.
The superintendent who goes about
nosing in and under beds, which is the
duty of the physician in charge of the
ward, or the duty of the supervisor,
would certainly possess nose which
should not ornament the face of most
persons filling that responsible posi-
ton. Without disparagement to any
has ever been, we assert that their
hospitals are kept clear not because
their noses were or are thrust here and
there, not because they had proboscis
which picked up this odOr or that, not
because they have eyes which looked
down into cracks and crevices and de-
tected bugs, not because they went
through the wards when the beds were
made up, and pulled them to pieces to
inspect their condition, but because
those in charge of the wards knew
what would befall them il the Place
was found uncleanly. Discipline
keeps out more bugs than the superin'
tendent's inspection. DR.. Foster
seemed not to be able to appoint biz
subordinates, hence the difficulty il
maintaining discipline. II superin
tendent must be personally blamed
for allowing the creeping in of yermin
a thing the best housekeeper cannot
always avoid, what must be said Of
the assistant physician in charge OIL
| the ward, or the supervisor whose
duty it is to make personal inspection
every day3 AS we'll might the super
intendent be blamed for allowing 9
piece OF unclean linen to 90 out OF The
laundry, a biscuit with fly or spider
to 90 in from the bakery, or a cow tC
be MIXED without first washing th(
udder, as to say that he was personally
responsible for every bed bug thai
might lnfest a bed, when it is known
that these pets multiply in day by
thousands, and the patients are IL
many cases brought in from jails OF
bowels. Bugs may get into most any
apartment, they do not scorn palace
any more than hut, they sometimes
as we see, even worm into the heads OF
persons in newspaper offices, and vel
their presence there must be consider
ed more of misfortune than crime

Deafness Cannot be Cured

10y local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditiOn OF the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It's entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE SAME OLD SCARE CROW.

There is still some signs of life in the
gold bugs. They profess to see danger
in Mr. Bryan s nomination. They can
see no evil but silver, no force that
will as certainly destroy the nation as
silver dollars. They occasionally.
when one has the gall to open his
mouth in the face of events. recall the
achievement of 1895, the death Of Bry-
an and of silver. which each one i'm
AGNES he brought about by his indi-
vidual effort. They even now talk of
so cent dollars, as If the people were
still fools and believed there could be
a fifty cent dollar. An ordinary cop.
per cent. or nickel piece, is not worth
in money one tenth Of what it repre-
sents in coin. Why not call attention
to the fact that the country is issuing
spurious or worthless cent and cent
pieces What is the paper in bank
note worth ? There are persons who
are led to believe that gold dollar is
a dollar everywhere, because the gov
eminent has coined 1t. Not so. Take
gold dollar to your banker or to the
U. s. Treasury, which has been worn,
and see how much you get for it. Not
a dollar. Oh, no. You get possibly
9S cents. Maybe less. according to its
weight. The government stamp on
the gold Is nothing, the gold Is simply
made in the shape of one, five or ten
dollar pieces for convenience. nothing
more nor less.
If silver were coined with a legal
tender provision such as full weight
gold dollar has, then sixteen ounces of
silver would be worth one ounce of
gold, the ratio of 16 to l we hear SO
much about, But when the gold dol
lar is given prestige as a legal tender
for debts, and the silver dollar depriv
of it, nobody but dwelling idiot
could expect the two to stand alike as
money. Now when We hear the gold
bugs harp on the danger to the money
from the election of VIM. j. Bryan,
and say nothing of the conditions the
defeat of Bryan has brought about,
we know they have no foot to stand
on. Not even a peg leg. When we
hear them assert that the coinage of
silver brought about the panic of 7a
and '93, we wonder if they have good
square common sense. The panic OF
1873 was brought about by Gen. Grant &
effort to resume specie payment, and
that of 1898 by Grover Cleveland's re-
fusal to treat silver as money. The
denomination of silver has always
caused panic in this country. Just
now the banks and the government
are doing all they can to keep plenty
of paper money afoat and thus drive
panic away. When times get hard
again, as they may, there will be the
same demand for silver there was in
1886 Not for silver for silver's sake,
but for more money, and silver will be
the means of procuring it. Mr.. Bryan
will not try to force silver as long as
there is plenty of money without it.
But when there is not he should. So
should any other president with ordi-
nary common sense. The people rec
ognize in this cutlery the same old Pal
mer and Buckner suit of clothes,
stuffed with the same old straw, and
hung up in the same old cornfield to
scare away the same Democratic crows
which got SO timid In 1896.

WORE WRAPPER TO HIDE
WEDDING GOWN.
Novel Plan Adopted by Girl from Augusta
and Successfully Worked.

The Winchester Star of Friday says,
Miss Lena Roudabush and William
Clemmer, both of Staunt on, were mar
ried in Hagerstown on Thursday even,
| ing by Rev. A. B Station.
The couple came down the Valley
from StauntOn and reached Winchester
at 'cleck. 1t is believed that they
are the same couple who attracted a
great deal of attention at the Cumber
land Valley station just as they were
| about TO take the train for Hagers
| town.
Fearing pursuit by her father, who
is said to have been opposed to the
| wedding, the bride wore calico wrap
per during the time she Travelled on
the train down the Valley. When she
reached the Cumberland Valley depot,
the wrapper was discarded, and she
stood forth dressed In a radiant we'd
ding gown. From an ordinary look
ing woman, dressed in an ordinary
manner, transformation was wrought
when the old wrapper was discarded.
1t is believed that the young lady
made use of the wrapper to hide the
fact that she wore her wedding dress,
thereby minimizing the risk of being
recognized on the train and detained
in case her parents should have wired
officials along the way.
With three-fOurths of the journey to
HagerstOwn accomplished, there was
little danger that the couple would be
unprecedented after they had left Win
chester. At all events the plan work.
ed very well, and the couple We're mar
ried in the Maryland city.

Knoxville, Tenn, June ia mann
moth cave, extending miles in length
and of irregular width, has been &C
cidentally discovered near the town oil
Jellico, on the Kentucky border. The
Jellico Water company had a number
of men at work near the top of Pine
mountain, excavating at the spring
which flows from the side of the noun
tain. In following the chasm they cut
into a wide cavern, and large stream
which is teeming with fish.
The cave extends along the center of
the mountain, south of Elk Valley for
nine miles, and in many places is very
large under beautiful pillars. A num-
Der of Indian relics and bones of beasts
that are now extinct, were found.
Many peculiar shaped stones, Hike images
of gods or idols. have also been brought
out. The exploration is still going on,
and will be pushed forward until the
end of the cave is found. Motor boats
can he operated successfully for miles
up and down the subterrauean water
way.

HAVE A HOUSE CLEANING.

1t is needless to argue and none
need suppose that the graft, rot
tenness, and general debauchery in this
government can be remedied by the
trial and conviction of few individ
uals. The trial of Capt. Oberlin M.
Carter, who stole So, 000, 900 from the
government is not yet fully ended. the
trial of his accomplices Gaynor and
Green has just ended before the jury,
but Is in the higher courts on appeal.
These crimes were committed ten or
twelve years ago.
The only thing to do is to incarcer-
ate all that can be, and turn the rest
out of Office, making clean sweep so
as to be sure the offenders 60. Some
innocent men will suffer, but a change
of administration, and an entire purg
ing of the stables alone will insure the
end sought. Brushing down dust here,
and cob web there will have no effect.
The hose must be turned on, and the
place fumigated.

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
