TO FRAUD.
Graft Reached It's Zenith in Build

Graft Reached It's Zenith In Build
ing of Pennsy1vania's Capitol.
Pennsylvania's investigation of its
magnificent new State capitol is on, and
the Indications of graft in the $13,0O0,-
600 ediice are o~verpowering.
The building, which was estimated to
cost $4,O0O,OOO complete, has cost more
than three times that much. Over S.
100000 was spent alone in furnishing
it. 1t stands as a gorgeous monument
of mismanagement and fraud, more ornate
than a Hindoo temple, more gaudy than
a Russian cathedral, more barbaric in
its ornamentation than a mosque, and
parts of it are as false and artificial as
a temporary show palace on an exposition
Midway.
1t is crowded with bronze and mahog-
any paid for by the pound and the cubic
yard. 1t is a dream of Babylonic prodi-
gality. There are telephone booths that
cost $1,000 each, paid for by the cubic
yard, including the air. Massive chan
deliers weighing tons were paid for by
the pound. Some fixtures cost $4,000
apiece. All bronzes cost the State $4.S5
a pound.
Here are some of the extravasant
charges for "furnishings":
Marble WalnScOtlnS, etc. GS,oUS
Flues, freplaces, etc. ......... 21,237
Hardwood parquetry flooring. 1912
Cement flooring .............. 25,117
Telephone wiring 1865
Carved panels, etc ............ SS9,94O
T~hermostats, etc. ........... 55,4OS
Most of these furnishings were sup
piled by John II. Sanderson, contractor,
who let out the work to s~ubcontractors,
some of whom are testifying that they
supplied them at prices ridiculously less
than what the State paid Sanderson.
Here are some instances:
Painting and decorating walls, $780,
473; one firm offered to do it for $164,-
473.

The Eternal Feminine.

The sons of men rule the world, but
the daughters of men govern It
through them. 1t is woman who founds
society in its artificial aspects. 1t is
woman who creates class distinctions
and insists on maintaining them. 1t
is woman who imbues man with de-
sire to emulate, who instils into him
social ambition that inevitably brings
in its train the restless fever of ac-
quisition, the madness of greed. the
ambition for power through financial
success. 1t is woman who is at once
the social bulwark, the autocrat and
the snob.-Woman's Life.

HAS NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Professor of Johns Hopkins Universi.
ty Preparing to Build Air Ship.

Baltimore, Md.-The preparatory ex-
periments for the flying machine that
is being built by Prof. Robert w.
Wood. professor of experimental
physics in the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, with Otto Luytch, local en-
gineer, are practically completed and
the work of construction will begin
soon. Prof. Wood has been carrying
on these experiments in the Hopkins
laboratory for several months.
The purpose of the experiments has
been to test the lifting power and the
steadiness OF action of screw propel-
lers as the means of ascension and
propulsion. On the basis of the re-
suits obtained by Prof. Wood large
flying machine will be constructed at
Sparrows Point under the direction OF
the two inventors.
The projected machine If OF the
"Helicopter'' type, which depends on
a series of screw propellers variously
arranged for the power of rising in
the air and for propulsion. The
models which have thus occupied the
attention of Prof. Wood do lot re-
semble the popular idea of the flying
machine at all. and appear to be moth
ing but a set of electric fans. with a
few weights hooked to them.

nine knots. This is the third uonstop
run made by this vessel while burning

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced Stages.

Rheumatism is n painful infiamma-
tion of the muscles or of the coverings
of the Joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for q
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Goff
St., Auburn, Me-, says: ~ had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. / was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
l had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. 1 frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
"About two years ago began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
SO lame could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
'Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to me by friend, after had
failed to get well from the Doctors
treatment. When began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at its worst.
l had taken only a few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after
ward 1 felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less and less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
1 have never had any return of the rheu-
matism."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. As tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.

Back of this enterprise of the Clayton
magistrate is the increased cost Of
marriage license in ST. Louis. A few
weeks ago the price was raised from
81 to $1.50. In Clayton it remains
at one dollar. There has been a per-

marriages at Clayton since the new
schedule became effective.

what he thinks his advertising will
do to reduce the business of his-riv-

character. The advertising is to be
continuous, with change every
month.

chosen from a large collection of

CARE OF SIDE WALKS

IN CITY ORDINANCE

81 wonder how many people remem-

of oahu have passed an ordinance deal

there is no means of enforcing it eX-
cept by an appeal to the good sense OF
our citizens. | believe it would be well
to call the attention of the public to
the matter.
The main feature OF the ordinance
mentioned read as follows:
Section ALL owners of lands

whenever such street shall have been
improved by the laying off or con-
struction of sidewalks or otherwise,
