A point Of interest.

In a certain county of Arkansas a man
named Walters was put on trial fer-sN~
ing a watch. The evidence had been vEha ),
conflicting. and as the jury retired the
judge remarked, suavely, that If he could
afford any assistance in the way or
smoothing out possible difficulties he
should be most happy to do 90.
Eleven Of the jurors had filed out of the
box, but the twelfth remained; and there
was on his eountenance an expression in
dicating great perplexity.
"Is there any question you'd like to ask
me before you retire?'' asked his Honor,
observing the jurors h~esitancy.
The mans face frightened. ''Yes, your
honor" he replied, eagerly. I'D like to
know, your honor, whether the prisoner
really stole the watch.'-Harper's Weekly.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.



Prohibitionists are planning a campaign
to make the city of Washington and the
entire District of Columbia dry" A bill
with this object in view was presented to
the House of Representatives. Since last
year the anti-saloon element has won sew
eral notable victories in the South, and the
united forces now in Congress represent
ing the dry" element plan 10 force a vote
ON the measure, and IL one is taken, the
prediction is made that the sale and manu-
facture of intoxlcants will be barred from
the District of Columbia. Think of the
National Capital being dry Then conf
pare 1t with the history of the city where
it was not considered bad form to appear
in the Senate or in the House intoxicated.
The fathers were tipplers of the worst
type, while the statesmen of today are
temperance in comparison with them. Yet
the anti-saloon element Is not satisfied.
Nothing but Punishment will suit them,
and this radical idea is likely in the end to
be their undoing, as to compel the "wets
to fight for their rights, the same as the
''drys'' fight for their own views, means
that the 'wets'' in due time will organize
to win back from the prohibitionists what
they have lost. A middle course would be
the safest plan TO make the nation tenn
perant, rather than temperance.-Atlan-
tic City Review.

Technically Mrs. Henry A. Doellinger
and her daughter Alice are forgers. In
order that Others may be deferred from
like acts, society has the power of in
fiicting stern penalties upon these two
women. The infraction of the law was
deliberate; both mother and daughter
knew that the inevitable result would be
to cause a loss to fall upon some innocent
person. Still a recital of the facts prompts
a query how far the criminals were not
the victims Of circumstances.

in brief on the page of a daily paper it
is something to be lightly SKINNED and
soon forgotten. Yet even as briefly re-
cited among the items of the days news,
does it not cause reflection whether the
cynical remark of a French writer that
for every crime one has only to seek the
woman may not be susceptible of a
nobler Interpretation than is commonly
accorded?
1t has been intimated that mother n
daughter may be released if the husband,

A Christmas free Reform Notion.

Congressman Kuestermann's recon-
mendation that Christmas trees be planted
in tubs and used year after year would
be adopted II the country were half as
serious on the subject of forest preserva-
tion as current talk would imply.
The fact is that most people accept
statistics as to the exhaustion of the
lumber supply in twenty years about as
Mark Twain did the report of his death.
They consider them greatly exaggerated.
They also realize that the use of iron md
cement is doing much to lessen the de-
tendency upon lumber.
Congressman Kuestermapn's idea would
not be practicable in the case of families
living in city flats, unless the custom
should arise Of setting the tubs in the
court yard or in the street for ornament
aud taking them in only during the holt
day week. Were it generally adopted,
naughty Europeans would no longer be
able to say that Americans have no family
trees.
= Each tree would grow with the growth
Of the young people accustomed to collect
about 1t annually to receive their holiday
presents from it's branches, and by the
time it became too big to take indoors 1t
would be no longer needed for Christmas
purposes, as the young people would have
outgrown youthful things. Then 1t could
be permanently set out in a park.-Evening

MAY CALL A HALT ON SUCH
ACTION.

The consultation between railroad
freight officials in Chicago is now
in session and Guy McCabe, division
freight agent is representing the Lo-
gansport and Richmond divisions of
the Pennsylvania. The meeting of the
Central Freight Traffic association in
Chicago last week was postponed ON
account of the death of Mr.. Grammar
first vice president of the Naw York

of the officials will not end until some
satisfactory conclusion has been rea-
ched on the matter of increase in the
freight rates over the country 1t is
expected that the lines east of Chica.
go and north of the Ohio river will
increase their freight rates at least
ten per cent, in order that the yearly
dividends of the companies, recently
voluntarily granting the ten per cent
increase to employees, may not suffer-
Some officials, it is understood fear to
increase the freight rates, saying that
the interstate commerce commission
will step in and call a halt A Rich
mond railroad official in speaking of
the matter said that the railroads had
as much right to charge what they
pleased for freight rates as did the
merchants who daily sold goods to
his customers.

1t will interest Richmond travellers
who make quite frequent trips to the

had better ask for tickets good on
Pullman cars lighted with electricity,
or perchance they will have to ride
in day coaches through the state of
Pennsylvania. A bill is now pending
before the Pennsylvania state legis-
lature which requires all Pullman cars
running in that state to be lighted
with electricity and according to the
statement of a trainman at the Penn
sylvania station yesterday. more than
one third of the Pullman's now op-

ABOUT STEEL CROSSTIES

According to the statements of a
railroad official at the Pennsylvania
station yesterday the consignment of
the new steel crossties which will be
used on the Richmond division have
not as yet left the factory. where
the company placed the order for five
thousand. The ties are steel body
and are reinforced with concrete.
They are the result of the investiga
lions of experts in the Pittsburg off,
ces of the Pennsylvania and are ex-
pected to fill long felt need. The
old cedar ties are becoming a scare
ity. The new ties which will be used
on the Richmond division, are simply
an experiment. With local section
foremen. ideas as regards to the prob
able success of the venture differ.
Some say that they will be a success
while others say, that the body of the
tie cannot carry enough spring" with
them to be entirely satisfactory.

RAILROADS PAY FIDDLER
Cost of the Quadrennial Weighing OF
the Mail Falls on Them-An
Expensive Task.

Many chronic knockers and calam-
ity howlers, who constantly growl be-
cause the government is apparently
requiring to pay for the services of
extra mail clerks during the time
of the quadrennial mailing season will
probably wake up and rub their eyes
in chargin. when it is announced to
them that the railroads are required
to pay for the services of postal
clerks who go on extra duty during
the mailing season. The extras are
taken from the eligible list in Wash
ington and put on duty. The govern
ment pays them but when the govern
ment makes it's quarterly settlement
with the railroads for hauling the
mails, it deducts the amount of the
mems services from the amount which
goes to the railroads Golfers for
transporting the mails.

1t is Wonderful;
Proofs, More Proofs
Many People of Richmond are Now
Reporting Great Benefit.

The newspaper talk throughout the
country in relation to the great medi-
cine, Root Juice, has caused thous-
ands of sick people to investigate and
every claim made was found to be as
true as gospel. After years of hard
work and much experimenting the
great scientist undoubtedly gave to
sick humanity the most wonderful
medicine of the age for stomach, liver,
kidney and blood troubles. Here in
Richmond many are beginning to ex-
perience wonderful results. Any one
that will take the time and trouble
TO go to Luken's drug store can see
and hear for themselves, as people
that have been greatly benefited after
taking Root Juice but a few days. are
dropping in all through the day to re-
port improvement from the very start.
\ lady bought a bottle of Root Juice
last Saturday. She went back to Luz
ken's drug store yesterday and bought
three more bottles. She said she
had not used but a third of the first
bottle but it did her so much good
she came back before it was used UP,
because she heard it was selling so
last that 1T was hard to keep it in
stock and she feared it would run out
before her bottle was used. After the
lady left one of the instructors said
That lady did wise thing. because
| doubt if we viii have enough Root
Juice for half the people that call
for II between now and 9 O'Clock Sat
urday night" 1t is simply wonderful
how the remedy sells and how many
remarkable cures it makes. | never
heard OF a weak sickly woman that
took as much as three bottles that
would take its weight in gold for what
1t did for her. People that suffer with
stomach, liver. kidney and blood
troubles, also catarrh and rheumatism
certainly make grave mistake If they
don't come and get some of it while
they can. 1t is sold for sl00 bottle,
