PROPOSED IN
ARMY ESTIMATES

Washington. Dec. 9.-Members of con-
gress who came TO Washington looking
forward to a winter OF political speeches
designed for their effect upon the next
presidential campaign find themselves
confronted by serious matters. The pres
idents message is found TO have deeper
significance than at first reading when
taken i'm connection with the enormously
increased estimates for the army ana
navy The conviction is growing that IN
the preparation OF these estimates the
government found itself confronted with
grave possibilities of war with strong
ly entrenched nation. IL has accordingly
called upon congress to authorize the ex-
penditure OF sums adequate for the coun-
try's protection.
Hardly an item in the jurisdiction OF the
war and navy department. including ord
nance and ordnance supplies, seacoast de-
| fences, army posts, naval stations and all
kinds OF modern equipment for both, fails
| to be sent 10 congress this session In time
OF peace.
The war department wants $2lS, i'll ,b26.l4,
\ OF which Sill .623, ,924.96 is for the construc-
| tion OF public works. part of which were
authorized by the rivers and harbors APP
preparation bill of the last session. Much
OF this estimate, however, Is for fortin-
cations and other defences both within
the United States proper and in the in-
sular possessions.
Fortlications i'm insular possessions
which last year received 900 are now
estimated TO require the expenditure of
81. .756 992, while the ordnance department
of the army requires more than three
million dollars in connection with these
| fortifications, where last year s457. 800 was
given. Fire control in insular possessions
requires an expenditure of $l,S05.319, where
last year an appropriation of 10000 was
deemed sufficient by congress Barracks,
quarters and seacoast defences In the
| Philippines are estimated to cost %,62S. $50
this year, where a million and quarter
was appropriated last year. and there are
1 additional items of 81 10000 for site for
a brigade post and military camp on the
Hand and storehouses at Manila. In con-
nection with the administration of mill
| tary affairs at home there are largo In
creases. Electrical installations at sea-
coast fortihcations require new appro-
priation OF sl,OO000O. and new sites for
these fortihcations are estimated for at
| $347s,500
at A.4s9.0o0 were appropriated for last
year in the sum OF but 100000. other
items not appropriated for last year arc
easements and galleries for submarine
mines, sA64.96i: operation and mainte-
nance OF fire control installations, $li5
SIS: military aeronautics, 100000.
! The estimates for the navy for the year
are also large An appropriation of s1l0.-
3,017.93 is wanted, compared with
s9iA1,57o93 appropriated last year.

EUA|CE GILMAN,
ON THE STAGE,
JOKES SISTER

Worcester. Dec 9.-Eunice Gilman. sis
ter OF Mabelle Gilman Corey, appeared
here last week at the Franklin Square
theatre, doing a vaudeville act. She
sings about the jealousy aroused when
she claims to be taking Mabelle's place,
and also in "A monologue tells of family
traits In one of her songs she says:
Jealous! Say. one night when 1 played
Ophelia,
Why some one yelled 'Bedela,'
Tell me how yous ever get to be a star?
Get back to that laundry in Omaha
Envious: Say, talk about your anvil
chorus.
Shocking! Why they do all the knocking
for us.
When said to Grace. I'm taking
Mabelle Gilman's place.
1 never saw such jealousy In all my life.
She again refers to the family in her
monologue. saying:
I've mad many chances TO get married,
but ! wouldn't get married. Not for the
world, because / know that IL I get mar

Although ''Shang's" story OF how he paid
for protection when he sold rum has often
been told before by him to other con-
gregations, IL excited as much interest
last night as ever. 'iShang' also told how
he had poured 60 gallons of booze into
the street.

Our Patrons Know

The reason our trade is constantly on the in
crease is because Our patrons know that we never
allow department heads to figure exorbtant
profits and because we never let an opportunity
slip to lower the cost of goods to the consumer
In OUR line of business, as in all others, there
fluctuations of values.
The difference between the food business and
other lines regards regulating prices is this =
In most other lines fluctuations can be controlled
and prices regulated to the advantage of the dealer
In the food business this cannot be done, for
two principal reasons viz:
Ist All food products are more or less
highly perishabc and cannot be held for higher
prices Hence, they respond more quickly to the
law of supply and demand than other lines of
merchandise.
cd Practically everybody buys food products
every day and are therefore better posted on their
average value than on any other kind of mcrchan-
disc, and it is, therefore, impossible for dealer to
charge exorbtant prices without the customer
discovering it.
Therefore the retailer who cannot sell goods
at reasonable prices cannot live in business.
A careful comparison of our goods and prices
will convince every far-mndcd person that, quail
ity for quality, there is place in the United
States where lower prices prevail than in our
stores
A few specialties for this week:
1000 lbs. Walnut Meats, 3Ic a lb
1000 doz. Corn Fritters, &c. doz
500 lbs. Assorted Chocolates, 1oc a h.
Fancy Boxes of Chocolates, as low as roc
1000 doz. Florida Oranges I5c doz.
10000 doz. Fancy Lemons ISc doz.
For Monday and Tuesday:
Hot-House Lettuce &C and sc
All these items lower than regular prices.

Speaking of the proposition to build trolley line from Tuscaloosa to Birrn- ingham. The Chattsnooga Times re- marks that 'fhe South is woefully lag ging in enterprise of this kind. From Chattanooga, for instance, there might be trolley lines to Dayton, Cleveland, Dalton and South PittsburE. Speaking of this lack of push" in Southern com naunities The Pittsburg Dispatch de- clares 'It is difficult to understand why the enterprising people of the larger Southern cities do not appreciate the value of such connections with the sur. rounding rural sections" There are probably three feasons all up to this time more or less sound: CD Southern cities and towns have been using their best efforts. to increase their popula- tions to such figures as would justify these lines; (s) the money required for such Investments has been needed in industrial and commercial enterprises and could not be spared for that pur- pose, and (S) there has been a dispo- sition among petty politicians to im- pose undue hardships upon public ser- vice corporations that has made such an investment to appear pTecarious to those whose attention has been directed to the opening for interurban roads.
 Perhaps the experiment begun in Ala bama will lead to an inquiry into the feasibility of trying the same in other Southern communities. Nothing so much helps the building of suburban communities and neighboring towns as rapid and cheap facilities for reaching them. As proof it is only necessary Co point to the large suburban towns and villages built in the vicinity of all the large cities of the country since the coming of the trolley ear. With a Dit of encouragement in the way of liberal franchises and the exhibition of a more tolerant spirit toward public service corporations. investors might be in duced to put some money into interur- Fan lines in most of our growing South ern centers of population"
 We have an idea that this section of Che Union will not much longer be a laggard in this much needed advance. There are so many good arguments Tn favor of suburban and inter-urban troll ley lines that it hardly seems necessary to refer to them, but in our judgment the next decade will see electric rail. roads all over the South. They are ba- coming too common in other sections, and their advantages are too numerous and manifest for this section to ignore them longer.
