ONLY
WANTS JUSTICE
Declares Attitude Towards
Railroads Not That of
Prosecutor

WASHINGTON, d. c., April a.
President Roosevelt has decided not
to accept the invitation of the Illinois
Manufacturers association to deliver a
speech at Springfield, Illinois, on the
railroad situation.
He addressed a letter Sunday to C..
HI. Smith, president of the association,
stating that 1t would be impossible
for him to accept their invitation, ex-
tended last week, because he did not
feel that he had anything to say at
this time in a special address on this
special subject.
The president has received a great
number of requests for a statement by
him in connection with the railroad
situation. He has given these requests
the utmost weight and most careful
consideration.
After fully looking into the matter
the president informed his advisers
that he had come to the conclusion
that there was nothing no further that
he had to say at this moment on the
railway situation; that he did not deem
it either wise or proper to say any
thing with a view to any immediate
situation in Wall street, and that as
definite and settled policy to be carried
out wholly without regard to the ex-
igencies of the moment. ad as his views
on the policy in question are already
matter of record, it did not seem nee
essary at this time to repeat them.
Has Nothing New to lmpart.
To the different men, friendly or I'M
friendly, who have visited him or
written to him, he has answered verb
ally OF in writing, that his words and
acts spoke for themselves and needed
no explanations whatever. and he would
not in his future course deviate one
hairs breadth from the course he has
pursued in the past and is pursuing
now.
The statement was made from an
authoritative source yesterday that even
a most cursory examination OF what
the president has already said repeat
eddy in speeches and in messages, will
show the utter nonsense Of supposing
the government has the slightest In
tention to take any action which
would invalidate the safety and sta
bility of the railway securities now is
sued, the whole legislative program Of
the president having been proclaimed
again and again as one to insure the
future against the mistakes and de-
linquencies of the past
The president holds that every ex-
ecutive action taken under his admin
istration, whether by the department
of justice or the interstate commerce
commission, has furnished it's own am
pie justification.
Is After disqualification.
1t was pointed out yesterday in adj
ministration circles that the president
has made no reference in his speeches
or messages to the question of the
physical valuation of the railroads.
This position, it is said, is that the
roads themselves will work out this
problem as an item OF bookkeeping.
and reference was made to the fact
that two roads, the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern, have already
submitted figures as to their physical
valuation.
II can be stated on authority that
the president will again ask congress
at its next session, for the power to

SENTENCE TO PRISON SHIP.
One Declared to BE Usually Enough
for Worst of Sailors,

One Declared to he Usually Enough
for Worst of Sailors.
THE serving Of one sentence aboard
prison ship is usually enough for the
worst Of Sailors" said L. III. Dunlayy,
who has just concluded his term of
enlistment In the hospital corps Of the
United States navy. He served as a
nurse for time on board the United
States naval prison ship Southery at
Portsmouth, N. III.
They have no cells on the ship"
Dunlavy said. "The prisoners are lock-
ed at night in the forward and after
berth decks. They are compelled to
work every day except Sunday in the
navy yard. Sunday they have to at
tend religious services. They get rath-
er to liking Sunday too.
1T gives them a chance to let out
their voices when the hymns are be-
ing sung. Their working hours are
from 6 80 to IL o'clock in the morning
and from l to 4 o'clock in the after
noon. That isn't all they have to do.
They are required to attend a school,
The common branches only are taught.
The recitations are held at night. From
@ to I O'Clock at night Is the daily
study hour and they have to study too.
"A marine guard of eighty men po-
lice the ship and do sentry work over
the prisoners while they are at work.
Ordinarily there are about $50 prison
ers on the ship. Very few escape. DC
casionally one tries to run by the SEN
tries, but it's big risk, for marines
carry rifles loaded with bali and have
orders to shoot any prisoner attempt
ing to get away."-kansas City Star.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME GOTHAM.
First Applied to New York City by
Irving in "Salmagundi."

First Applied to New York City by
Irving in "Salmagundi."
This name Gotham was first applied
to the city of Manhattan in a book of
humorous sketches called "Salmagun-
d." written about 1907 by Washington
Irving in collaboration with his broth
er Peter and the poet Paulding. 1t
was evidently intended to suggest that
the people of New York made undue
pretensions to wisdom, and that there
were both satire and wit in the sug-
gestion is shown by the story of the
original Gothamites.
Gotham was a parish in Noting
hamshire, England. The old story tells
how King John wished to pass through
the parish. The people there, fancy
Ing that the passage Of the king over a
route made 1t public road, decided
to prevent the transit by all pretend
Ing to be crazy.
Therefore, when the king and his
party arrived they found every one of
the inhabitants employed In some Pc
culiarly foolish task. Thus, a group
were Joining hands around a thorn
bush to keep a cuckoo from getting
away; some were trying to drown an
eel, others dipping water with sieve,
and SO on.
When the king saw these perform
ances he swore at the people for
pack of idiots, and, turning, departed
with all his retinue. The Gothamites
were delighted with the success of
their scheme for turning aside the
king, regarding it as superlatively
clever.
After this Gotham came to have the
reputation Of being a sort Of head
quarters for conceited fools. In the
time Of Henry VIII. book entitled
'-rhe Merry Tales Of the Mad Men of
Gotham" was published. Among these
was the story Of the Three Wise Men
Of Gotham" one of whose exploits was
to go to sea in a bowl.-Housekeepe

Watery Eyes.-Relief may be obtain
ed by bathing the eyes several times a
day with a wash consisting of ten
grains of pure borax and two ounces
of camphor water.
Rheumatic Knee.-Try salicylate of
soda, five drains tincture of nux vom-
lea, three drains, and essence of pepsin
enough to make four ounces. The dose
for an adult Is one teaspoonful every
two or three hours.
Superfuous Hair.-A growth Of hair
Is annoying to a girl who wears short
sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and
eleetrolysis, the only sure, cure, Is an
expensive treatment. To minimize the
trouble dark hairs may be bleached.
Wash the arms with a weak solution of
ammonia and water. Then pour lit
tie peroxide of hydrogen in the water
and apply with piece of linen. The
bleaching process will have to be re-
peated from time to time, but peroxide
Is harmless to the skim
Nasal Catarrh.-In the treatment of
this persistent and often intractable dis
order, good results have been obtained
by the internal administration five or
six times each day of, one half teaspoon
full doses In one half ounce of water of
a mixture of one ounce, of specific echin-
acea and two ounces Of stillingla. The
latter intensifies the action of echina-
cea in its influence upon the mucous
surfaces. Tincture OF gelsemium, two
drops every hour during the day, push
ed to physiological point, will abort a
catarrhal cold. Three grains of salicy-
late of strontium, added to each dose,
reinforces 1t If rheumatism is suspected.
Neuralgia.-If the neuralgia Is In the
right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in basin of water as
hot as can be born; or If neuralgia is
In the left side of the face, then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. 1t is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained In less than five
minutes. The two nerves which have
the greatest number Of tactile endings
are the fifth and the medium nerve.
As the fibers of these two nerves cross
any impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side of the face,
or IL applied to the right hand will
affect the left side of the face. This
is on account of the crossing of the
cords.

There are two ways In which a tree

grows in its branches; and If you pre-

respects 1t will not grow in the other.
If you wall tree round below and do

Christian grows. He grows in personal
holiness Of life and conversation, but
he only grows in outward conduct be-
cause he also grows In the knowledge
and love Of God Upon the depth and
reality Of his relation with God his
moral and religious character will de-
pend. AS God becomes more and more
to him "a living, bright reality" so his
personal life and character become
more fully developed, and the beauty
of the Lord will be exhibited In his
conduct.-W. NJ. Hay Aitkin.

Hyde participates fully in the free and

impersonating an Arabian gypsy.
Recently Hyde has shown a tendency
to re-enter aristocratic French society,
and among the fashionables of Paris
his princely wine cellar is exciting Won
der and admiration
Richard A. McCurdy's existence in
Paris has been quite the opposite of
Hyde's, though it is well intended to
blot from the memory of the former
Mutual president the disagreeable ex-
periences of year and a half ago.
McCurdy's life in Paris has amounted
almost to monastic retirement He is
surrounded by an exclusive circle of
personal friends, and he is devoting
himself to simple diversions which car
ry with them no distasteful memories.
He Is never seen in the gay centers Of
Paris, and he Is entirely unknown in
society. He reads no newspapers.
When an effort was made to interview
him he sent word that he would feel
keenly any further notoriety in connec-
ton with the insurance scandal. AT
this time it is learned from a personal
friend of McCurdy's that, while he is
attempting in every possible way tic
eradicate memories of the scandal
which enmeshed him, he finds 1t diff
cult to have any complete comfort in
his life.

The Prayer Life,

Prayer, not only in the morning
watch, but prayer sent voiceless from
the heart from hour to hour, makes
life wakeful, hallowed, calm. It be-
comes beautiful with that beauty Of
God which eye hath not seen. And
day being ballowed thus, do not omit
to make holy the night. Take by the
power Of prayer, through the wild land
Of dreams, the sanctifying presence Of
One who loves us. Prayer continually
lived In, makes the presence Of holy
God the air which life breathes, and by
which 1t lives, 30 that as 1t mingles
consciously with the work Of the day,
1t becomes also a part Of every dream.
