NEW USE FOR DUMB WAITER

a new scheme of protecting sill
verware from burglars in the most
fashionable country houses has been
hit upon, and it is declared by sew
eral well known architects to be
more successful than the safes that
used to be built into house walls.
Many suburbanites are having the
dumb walters in their homes built
so that they. can be locked between
floors and with special burglar
alarm attachments so that if they
are moved ever so slightly they will
start great gongs to awakening the
neighborhood.
The plan is to take the silverware
at night, place it on the dumb wait
er and station it between two floors.
In this way it is absolutely inacces-
sible No burglar could pull the
dumb waiter down by hauling on
the ropes, and yet if he tried to
drop on top of the waiter it would
move enough to start all the alarms.
There is said to be just one way of
getting at silver protected in this
way, and that is to climb in some
way up the shaft and cut a hole
in the bottom of the waiter. Such
process, however, detectives de-
clare, no ordinarily cautious burglar
would chance.

The action of Professor Harrington
in resigning the presidency of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
will probably win for him the admir-
alton and good will of many who per-
haps would have censured him Sc
verely, had he remained in charge of
bthe college and caused that institu-
ton to suffer the loss of patronage it
would doubtless have sustained.
Whether he was right or wrong in
his contest with the cadets, the fact
remains that, under his administra-
ton a cloud was cast upon the man
agement of the college. The students
almost without exception were
against him and there must have been
some grounds for such widespread
discomfort with his administration
and prejudice against him. True,
the investigation cleared him of the
charges, inasmuch as they were not
sustained, and the finding was in ac-
cordance with the evidence. Still, it
was apparent to all that Professor
Harrington would not be able to re-
gain the confidence of the students,
and that the college must suffer if he
remained in charge. 1t was natural
that he should seek vindication. and
having secured it, he has done the
wisest thing possible in resigning.
While he may have done nothing
wilfully and Intentionally to the det-
riment of the school, and may be, in
fact, entirely innocent-a wronged
man--yet it were better that he shosld
sacrifice himself by resigning that the
college might have the chance of
prospecting under a more congenial
president and a more tactful admin
istration.

from President Roosevelt, sent after
Taft had suspended the order dis
charging the negro soldier murderers
and their abettors, in which the pres
ident commanded that the discharge
stand unless important new facts
should be developed. This message
of President Roosevelt's says: 81

BLAINE" is a peculiar word to use
IN that connection, but if there be any
blame, Roosevelt is strong enough
and staunch enough to stand by his
acts and bear it, as his comments on
the Corbin interview, in which he
takes upon himself the entire respon-
sibility for the act, show.
The San Antonio Express puts it
very aptly IN the following remarks
upon this incident of the Taftian cam

"Stung" is the comment of the
Galveston Tribune on the recent re-
mark of the Corpus Christi Caller, to
the effect that Brownsville had gotten
some undesirable advertising from
the fact that, the first day after her
weather station was opened, she re-
corded a temperature of 100. The
Tribune no doubt only copied the Cal
ler's smart remark because 1t sound
ed catchy, without the thought that
it was adding some more undesira-
bic advertising to that already given
Brownsville by the Caller To be just,
both papers should have added that
the temperature at Brownsville, both
preceding and following that day was
very much milder, and that the I'M
usually high record was the result of
unusual conditions. To make even,
next winter, when the record will
show the temperature at Brownsville
to be even milder than at any other
place o nthe Texas coast, then we
shall expect to see these exchanges
saying something of a different nat
ure about the elias of advertising that
Brownsville will get out of the wealth
er bureau reports.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inhamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
