Onion Eaters Good-Humored.
Louis GlObe-DemOcrat,

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
IF people would eat more onions said
the man with the smothered beefsteak,
the world might have to hold it's nose.
but the population of st. Louis would be a
great deal healthier.
Most of us eat too much meat and
grease and butter and bread and not
enough vegetables and the consequence is
our systems get clogged up with grease
and starch our livers get out of order and
we grumble at our wives and scold our
children and fuss when the baby cries and
quarrel with the street car conductors, and
get into rows at the Office and lose our
jobs, not because We are naturally sulky or
quarrelsome. but because we are bilious.
Why are We bilious? Because we don't
eat onions. You never saw a dyspeptic man
eating onions He thinks they are poison,
but, in fact, they are the medicine that he
most needs.
Whenever you see an onion eater you
see a whole-souled, open-hearted jolly
good fellow, who knows what he ought to
eat to keep him good humored. Talk about
the staff of life, why, bread is only a
crutch. There is more nourishment in an
onion than there is in roll. The onion
lovers keep the world moving. to say moth
ing of providing it with much of it's fun"

LIABILITIES ovEREsT1MATED.
Belief Expressed That Mr.. Hieston'.
Indebtedness May Be Scaled.

Surprise was expressed last night by those
who know Mr.. Walter Hieston best at the
allegations made in his statement filed with
his petition in bankruptcy, as given in The
Star yesterday. His reported failure came
as shock because it was believed by many
that his financial affairs were in good shape
After record of his alleged failure had
been made at court many of his business
associates and friends insisted that il he
had failed. the failure was not as disastrous
as given in his petition in bankruptcy. The
statement was accepted that his trouble
resulted from the continued drop In prices
on the New York stock exchange. and the
great slump in the value of securities. But,
as stated his affairs are not believed to be
in such bad condition as has been pictured,
and some of his friends expressed the hope
that he may yet pull through"
Some surprise was expressed also at the
statement that he severed his connection
with the Arm of Wescott, Wilcox & HES
ton two years ago, many persons not being
aware of the change.
One of those who believe Mr. Hieston's
liabilities have been overstated, is Mr. ].
Tilman Hendrick, a member of the stock
exchange Others who have similar opin-
ions are Mr.. Benjamin Woodruff and Mr.
Robert n. Harper, president of the Ameri-
can National Bank. Mr. Harper states that
Mr. Hiesten is indebted to the bank in the
sum of $1,000. not $1,000, as alleged, and
that the amount of the indebtedness is COW
cred by collateral security. 1t is also de-
clared that the Indebtedness to Mr.. r.
Henry Lynn cashier of the American Ma
tional Bank, stated by Mr.. Heiston to be
collateral is held which, if disposed of, will
reduce the liability to less than 81, 900
An explanatory statement from Mr.. Heis-
ton is promised by some Of his friends

TO MEET COMPLAINTS.
Material Improvement Of the Railway
Mail Service

Material improvement in the railway mail
service for New Orleans and, incidentally.
for other cities in the south and southwest,
Is projected by the Post Office Depart
ment. Serious complaint has reached the
department from business men in New Or
leans both of the delay in the arrival of
mail trains and in the handling of the
mails after their arrival in the city. Voic-
Ing this. complaint, Representative Meyer
of Louisiana. In letter to the department,
said that sixteen out of the twenty four
trains entering New Orleans daily arrived
late on an average of more than an hour,
and in some cases nearly an entire. day,
which has brought about a complete demon
alization of the mails. subjeeting every in
terest in New Orleans to heavy loss
Postmaster General Meyer said yesterday
that the department had made thorough
investigation of the situation, and as a
result 1t was found to be in advisable to es-
tablsh a new railway mail division at. New
Orleans. but a recommendation had been
submitted that an enlarged supervisory
force in the railway mail service be en-
ployed al that point great Improvement
already has been made in the mail facih-
ties of the city, he-stated, by additional
services on number of trains and addition
al services in contemplation. The failure
of trains to run on schedule time cannot be
controlled by the department. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the imposing of PEN
alties will have the effect of improving
the schedules.

Charleston Landmarks.

From the Charleston News and Courier
After the next municipal election it is
hoped that some member of the city coun-
ell will have the courage to propose the
restoration of the old landmarks so far as
they have been destroyed in the nomencla-
ture of the streets. There is Smiths lane
for example. 1t has a very English sound
and 1t was a very nice little byway in
Charleston, but some years ago some Of
the people who did not care to live in a
lane changed its name and called 1t East
Lamboli. Then, when Lightwood alley was
widened, it was converted into Atlantic
street. and poor little old Zigzag alley,
one of the cutest little pockets in the city,
was called Lightwood alley. 1t was not
Lightwood alley at ALL but 1t was Zizzag
alley. and it should have continued to be
called such to the end of time.
What would be thought of the icono-
elastic spirit which would destroy Longi-
tude lane and give it some picture-book
title which would not fit it at all or any
of its history or surroundings? Then there
is Bedon's alley; it ought to be kept
Bedon's alley forever. On the sunset side
of the city some years ago Lynch street,
named for one of the signers of the
Declaration, was wiped out and merged
into Ashley avenue. A little later Friend
street was called Legare street, to its in
tersection with Broad street. from the
south, at least. We do not know whether
the name was changed north of the latter
thoroughfare or not, but for some reasons
which have not been clearly understood by
the public one end of Friend street has
been saddled with the name Of Legare
street to the destruction of historic con-
tiruity and likewise to the distress of
many good people who really live in Legare
street. There was some historical value in
the name Friend street as applied to this
roadway; there Is no value whatever to
Friend street masquerading as Legare.
There is so much else to be done that
is worth doing that we trust the new city
council will take the back track and undo
much of the very foolish and selfish and
really wicked work of the iconoclasts who
have attempted to blot out the landmarks

From the Philadelphia Record
The quickest action ever noted by Gin

when he reported a murder case in which
one of the witnesses was q negro porter
in the hotel that was the scene of the
killing.
The negro was asked how many shots he
heard. Two shots, subj he replied. How
far apart were they?' Bout like dissa-
way" explained the negro clapping his
hands twice, with an interval of about a
second between. Where were YOU when
