The town Of Clear Lake in Iowa,
has passed an ordirance. which pro-
hibits the ringing nf church bells on
the Sabbath. 1t is the intention Of
the mayor to make "the place as
quiet on the day Of rest as a grave
yard at midnight
That, it seems to us, is carrying the
Sabbath observance law as far as the
most extreme Sabbatarians could de-
sire.

The state board Of health of Texas
adopted some very stringent rules in
regard to sanitation for tuberculosis.
In connection with the address by
DR.. Wyche before the County Medi-
cal Society short time ago which
was printed in The Herald and News,

the board of health Of the state Of

and also the rules. which have been
adopted in the effort to prevent the
disease in that state.

REST ROOMS.

There has been considerable agita-
tion recently in regard to rest rooms.
Greenwood is progressive city and
with such an increase in it's annual
business it seems very appropriate
indeed to exert every effort to keep
abreast with the times, as We have
take on new life and activity. There
is as much or more business done in
Greenwood than any other town in
the Palmetto State of the same size.
The fall trade will soon be on us
and 1t Is our desire to see the merch-
ants Of this city take hold of the mat
ter as it means considerable more
business will be done here if the
proper provisions arc made to induce
the buyers to DO their shopping. SO
why cant the business men of the
city get together and see if we can
have place to accommodate people
when they come here to DO their shop
ping ?-Grccnwood journal.
There are great many towns,
which are making arrangements such
as suggested BY the above from our
Greenwood contemporary. 1t is a
very important matter and really
should have the attention Of all
towns and cities, which depend upon
a large country trade.
1t would seem to us that the old
court house might to fitted up and

suggested in this editorial and ii could
be done in connection with the pro-
position, which the ladies are Anita

library. OF course in order to do this
1t would be necessary to have some
work and repairs done on the old
building, and in addition. the park
should be extended to the front and
sides of the building similar to the
one which is in the rear. so that it
would be impossible to have wagons
and bnggicS driven up to the building
and the horses hitchcd against it.
Such an arrangement would bcauti-
fv the public square and would make
the rest room here suggested very
easily of access to our friends from
the country. and also practically in
the centre of the business section.
We simply make this suggestion and
throw out these hints. We really do
not know what is the intention Of
those in charge of this old building.
nor d" "" have any idea nf what will
be done. "" realize that there Is
very great difference of opinion aS
to what disposition should be made of
this old building. but it's does seem
that it would be great waste Of pro-
year it down.
The public square should not be
used ~ wagon yard. We should
have wagon yard in some portion
of The city that would be convenient
and there should be some sheds put
up in the wagon yard and water for
the horses 50 that instead Of having
wagons and buw"icS standing in the
public square the animals in the sun
or cold, they could be y!vcn better

it, and if possible. have unanimity Of

MEXICAN MINES THREATENED
Advance in Freight Rates Injurious
to American Interests.
Consul Shaughnessy Reports that
Increase of Tariff VIII Shut Out
LOw-grade Ores.

Mild protests have been made to the
United States government against the
action of the Mexican government in ad-
vancing the freight rates on practically
all commodities. It being charged that
the mining and smelling interests Of
Americans in that republic have thus
been greatly injured. and in some cases
xuined.
Consul ". D. Shaughnessy, Of Aguas-
.caIientes, says in a report to the State
Department. that the new classification
will affect all OF the Mexican govern
Ynent's main and branch railroad lines.
and it is rumored that when the merger
of all the railroads in the republic ac-
fually takes place which is expected IN
the near future. the rates viii again be
Increased, making the total advance
enormous.
The many mining interests in Mexico,
of which a large percentage are Amer
ican operators and stockholders con
1inues Shaughnessy. will suffer to a
great extent Those who have heretofore
1nanaged 70 ship the low-grade ores upon
q paying basis viii be unable. under the
new classification, to transport any eX-
cept the high-grade ores. This win result
sooner or later in the necessity of shut
ting down a great number Of the low

many hundred thousands Of dollars per

LIKE ANTIQUE FURNITURE.
Modern Pieces Equal Those of Olden
Time, as Samples Prove.

Jackson Brothers furniture store, s15
Seventh street. has just closed a deal with
furniture exhibitors who had their wares
at the Grand Rapids and New York
shows, for practically every piece Of show
goods. embracing all new patterns.
Furniture has gradually been reverting
to the style of the old masters. and Il
must be admitted that modern methods
produce results that will compare favor
ably with the old-time handmade goods.
In the collection purchased by Jackson
Brothers, every old style. as well as the
popular mission patterns. are included
AS a result, Washington people have an
opportunity to view and buy samples that
were considered beautiful enough 10 at
tract thTOngs to the furniture shows, and
the firm considers itself particularly IA
vored TO be able to offer such an oppor-
tunity TO it's customers at prices far
below normal
The result has been abnormal sales for
this season Of the year. demonstrating
the wisdom of the store In making this
departure for the benefit of its customers.

TRIBUTE OF TOURISTS.
Foreigners Like LiberaIify OF the
Americans.


Germany has been doing some figuring
on the annual profit to Europe from the
American tourist invasion, says the New
York Sun It Is assumed that 100000 per-
sons make a flying trip across the At
lantic each year. and their expenditures,
exclusive Of steamship tickets, are av-
eraged at $3.50 a head, or a total of
SOS. S.000,000. This sum is mostly divided
among the railroads, hotels and boarding
houses. tailOrs and dressmakeTs, and art
dealers. It is estimated that 10000 Amer
lean women buy more or less clothing in
Paris every year, and that they leave
100000 as a minimum with the dress
makers and S1.5OO,0OO with the miIliners.
For curios and articles to be kept or made
presents as mementos Of the trip, Amer
leans spend about 100000 in Paris every
year. The amount Of tribute" thus paid
to the Old World by the New has in
creased at a fixed rate every year until
the present There is some alarm now
lest American liberality be checked by
the greed of those who profit by it. The
outrageous prices asked often three and
four times the current local value of
articles. have been detected by many vis-
itors, and many promising deals, Il is
said. have been summarily cut short.

Big STICK FOR The PRESIDENT
Made from Historic Pile of Long
Bridge.
Two Kinds of Wood, Typifyins Union
of North and south, Capped with
Silver and Inscribed.

Should President Roosevelt speak before
the assembled ranks of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. when they meet at Sara
toga for their annual reunion. September
e-12, he will return from the convention
with a token Of esteem from the veterans
which will doubtless reach tender spot
in his heart
Col. r. f. Whitman, who is an ad-
mirer Of the President. is the originator
Of the idea TO present Mr.. Roosevelt with
a big Stick" similar in shape. but fully
five times as large as the type Of souve-
mir cane which will be sold to the veter-
ans on the day they gather at Saratoga.
The stick is straight. tipped with a solid
silver cap and made from two piles Of
the historic old Long Bridge, over which,
In 1876, marched a million men. and
which, though finally torn down December
IT, 1876. will live in song and story so
long as the memory Of the great war
shall last.
The different kinds OF wood used in the
cane are Georgia pine and Northern oak.
so that the cane represents the two
standard woods of the North and South,
linked firmly together as one big Stick
has dOno so much toward Joining the
ties of these two sections of this nation.
On the end Of the silver cap is inscribed
The big stick, Georgia Pine and North
ern Oak, timber from Long Bridge, the
old link between North and South. to the
new link, President Roosevelt"
A sufficient number Of souvenir canes
have been manufactured from the timber
of the old Long Bridge to furnish every
member OF the G.. A. r. with a memento
of that historic landmark Of Washington
These canes are of the ordinary size. tip
ped with plated silver caps and hand
somely finished. They will be sold for
81, and If an order for twenty-five or
more is received from any G. A R.
post or other military organization they
will cost but 70 cents each.
When Col. Whitman first conceived the
idea Of making canes from the old bridge
it was before It was torn down, and he
only procured enough wood for a few
sticks to give his intimate friends and
comrades, but when the old structure was
condemned as an obstruction to com
merce, he thought that the veterans and
their sons would ike a souvenir of the
former link between the Capital and the
South. and what better than a cane out
Of this well seasoned oak or Georgia pine?
So he procured a statement from the con-
tractor for removal Of the bridge TO the
effect that he had purchased the timber
of old Long Bridge, sawed in specified
dimensions. for the manufacture of canes.
and that the timber would not be sold to
any other person for Ike purpose.
In case the President is unable to attend
the G. A. R. meeting. Col Whitman in
tends TO take the Big Stick" to the
White House and present it to Mr..
Roosevelt personally.

WOULD SAVE THE CITY.
What MIR. Tharin Said About Wash
inEtOn and an Earthquake.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The report 0f my speech last night
contains a misstatement which I ask
leave TO correct and to remain your
debtor for the courtesy OF publishing
this card
Although bearing the reporters quo
tation marks, the following intemper-
ate language is not mine as II reads.
I did not say that Washington is fit
for nothing else than to be swept by
an earthquake from the face of the
earth" What I did say was this: IF
a nations Capital be fit for nothing but
spectacular parades, triumphal pro-
cessiOns. pyrotechnic displays, and
other fiimsy shows, whilst her citizens
are ingulfed in the gloomy shadow Of
the nations Capitol like ghosts in a
vast marble mausoleum, such a city
would be fit for nothing else than to
be swept by an earthquake from the
face Of the earth"
So far from destroying. I advocated
10 save and to restore to their rights
rs citizens Of the United States. the
citizens of this District: and my senti-
ment should not be perverted in transitu
through the press. My speech clearly
set forth that the citizens OF the
United States in this Districts
everywhere else-are entitled to the
unabridged rights, privileges, and i'm
munities of American citizens When
ever and wherever these rights have
been denied, il has always been my
privilege and my practice to maintain
them How could I do this without
denouncing the triumvirate as an un-
American, medieval system, which
should speedily give way to a munich
pal government, republican in
form and substance, that this city MAJ
become. as she ought. the model city
of the land, instead Of a statuesque
whited sepulcheF of dead and buried
American ideals, voiceless and voteless
in her own affairs? R. S. THARIN.

which place he has lived. as he did in
Airy Castle. in a house IN a tree. but
with more Of the comforts and luxuries
of life
His little farm contains nearly FIVE
acres OF hill and dale woods and field.
and with the home-which, in this case.
is a house OF five or six rooms, clustered
about the spreading branches Of giant
chestnut tree-is a charming and delight
ful place. and visitors are wont 10 ex-

through the hooks and crannies, up and
down the staircases from the promenade
roof to the canvas rooted kitchen, FIVE

which hangs on the entrance door-''Who
Wouldn't Live in a Tree?"
One-half of the acreage has been plant
ed as a garden or set out in fruit trees,
while the balance of the place is some
what heavily wooded. affording a most
agreeable and delightful shade for Mr..
Hayward ard his friends and casual Wis
itors. The surface is diversified. a noisy
stream making its way through the
grounds, with hills ON either side
Quite recently Mr.. Hayward has con-
structed substantial pavilion, thorough
ly built and protected from the weather.
which will easily accommodate a party
of half a hundred dancers or picnickers.
Many easy and rocking chairs, ham
mocks, and benches abound, and a fine
toned upright piano, with a choice col
lection of favorite songs, is at the serv-
ice of all

from limb 10 limb.
On Saturday last a basket party of
happy individuals left the heat and tur-
moil Of the city. and spread their re-
past in the shade of the pavilion, where
luscious baked potatoes, succulent green
corn on the cob. served red hot, royal
tomatoes and coffee from the larder of
