UP TO PRESIDENT
Cincinnati Shippers Ignore In
termediate Processes in
Rate Fight.
NO POLITICS IN BATTLE.

Cincinnati. O., Juluy 25.-Brushing
aside all intermediate processes and
modes of action, the Receivers and
Shippers association of Cincinnati
has carried it's war against a general
increase in railway freight rates d.
rectly to the president Of the United
States.
In general effect a communication
forwarded to President Roosevelt last
Saturday at Oyster Bay and made pub
lie here last night, asks the chief exc
cutive whether or not he intends to
enforce decree issued come years ago
against certain railroads. If so, he is
asked at once to cause the attorney
general to bring proceedings for con-
tempt against the Missouri Pacific
railway and the Chicago, Rock Island
&Pacif1c railway.
Denying that politics had anything
to do with the letter at this time it
Is explained that because of the fact
that certain general increases in
freight rates are to become effective
August 10 by certain roads prompt
and positive 2ction became necessary.

These Fabrics Come From Two En-
treIy Different Animals.

These Fabrics Come From Two En-.
tireIy Different Animals.
THE other day l heard a couple of
men arguing about mohair and alpaca.
one Of them gcavely asserting that
they We're different names for the same
fabric" said New York importer.
The assertion was very far out Of
the way. The cloth Known as alpaca,
if genuine, comes from the wool Of the
animal Of the same name, which
thrives only in the Andean regions
of Peru and Chile in South America.
The alpaca, or pace, which resembles
the llama, looks good deal like our
domestic sheep and has a most beauti-
full fleece. Great f1ocks of them browse
on the highest ranges of the Andes
aud are the property Of the native In
dams, who shear them once a year.
Many efforts have been made to breed
the alpaca in different parts of Eu-
rope and Australia, but without sue
cess. A cargo Of them was brought to
Baltimore some time in the middle of
the last century, but the experiment OF
raising them in the United States was
likewise a failure.
THE cloth known as mohair comes
from the Angora goat, very differe1l
animal from the alpaca. The angora
is found in South Africa, but the lar
gest flocks are found in Asia Minor
Exchange.

THE ERA OF ovERSTRAIN.

A little over a month ago a Pitts
burg millionaire gave to the Johns
Hopkins university the sum of $780,
900, for the purpose of adding to its
the treatment and study of brain dis
orders. The ordinary observer has a
more or less hazy idea that the place
for persons afflicted with brain trouble
Is the asylum. But all alienists in the
country who are worthy of mention
have long desired such an institution
to take up the matter of what We may
term the near-crazy. There are such
clinics in Europe doing great service
to humanity but this is the first thing
of the sort in this country.
Our scheme of modern life is not
calculated to have good effect on the
brain. The many cases of nerves" in
women and nervous prostration in
men, the large number of farmers
wives who go insane, the number of
highly strung young men and women
who are eccentric. the number Of the
same class who are kleptomaniacs or
addicted to some form of perversion.
all these point to overstrain of some
sort either in their own generation or
those preceding. If it is the fault of
our time; our time must make it good.
Take the case of the drug user or
the kleptomaniac, if such cases could
be treated properly it would save
many a life The social stigma which
attaches to a case which has been laid
bare to public view is often too much
for the already unbalanced mind to
stand and it often gives up to lower
and worse things. whats the useo"
In the future a very different fate will
befall the kleptomaniac. Instead Of
calling the police there will be a call
for the doctor No stigma will attach.
The patient (not the 'criminalO will
be taken to the hospital and treated.
Then those concerned will not say
that they regret. but action of a Sc
we're nature had to be taken. Ignor-
ance is always cruel as witness the
condition of the insane fifty years ago.
With more enlightenment on the sub
ject the victims of our social order
will get better treatment at the hands
of society

MAIN STREET.

For some time ladies have been
complaining of the condition of Main
street. saying that it is impossible on
many occasions to cross the street in
the business section without soiling
shoes and summer dresses. This
morning there was the usual condition
of affairs. At 80 a. m. Main street
looked like a barnyard with the mark
ing Of poor minus" by Inspector
Owens. At the corner of Fifth and
Main feeble old man was doing good
work very slowly. In front of Muth's
saloon there was another broom. The
sweeper was asked whether he was
alone He said that there was another
man helping him and that the third
was sick. He thought they might get
as far up as Ninth street, today and
work down tomorrow.
This is a condition of affairs which
might be stood for temporarily. But it
does seem that 1t is an inadequate
force. 1t rained heard last night so
that early in the day the street should
have looked comparatively clean. If
large cities with an immense traffic
can keep their streets clean. it would
appear that Richmond should keep five
or six blocks clean
1t is a good thing for the merchants
to have the street as inviting as posi-
BILE. 1t will not do to assume that the
customers come from the country and
are used to piles of manure If this
be the case let us give the farmers
a reason for wanting to come to town
But if only for the benefit of the citi
zens of Richmond something might be
done. If the department has not &
sufficient fund at its disposal to keer
Main street clean, let it have more
money.

NOW IN CINCINNATI
Secretary Taft Will Remain
There Until After No.
LITIGATION.
WAS BUSY YESTERDAY.

New York, July 25.-The republican
leaders of the city were fully alive to
their opportunity yesterday to make
the personal acquaintance of their
candidate for the pre- sidency and when
w. H. Taft leaned back in his Pullman
seat late in the afternoon to begin his
journey to Cincinnati he had shaken
the hand of practically every district
leader in Greater New York, num-
Der of state leaders and had had con-
versations with politicians of varying
degrees of prominence to the number
of several hundred.
1T has been a day Of acquaintance
making was Mr.. Taft's comment af-
ter the impromptu reception was over.
There is no political significance to
be attached to any of the interviews I
have had. 1t is little too early for
me to get reports of the situation in
the state, but from what has been told
me by the men I have seen satisfac-
ton seems to be the prevailing state
of mind"
So far as Mr.. Taft now intends, this
will.be his last visit to the city until
after election. He reached Cincinnati
today shortly after noon. After the
notification ceremonies Tuesday it is
his purpose to return to Hot Springs
at the earliest possible moment, prob
ably Wednesday.
Judge Taft would make no comment
on the statement of President Roose-
welt as to the Standard Oil court pro-
ceedings.

THE VETERANS.

Time and death are making great in
roads in the wavering rank of the
boys of 81. Every year the little
line of blue uniforms grows less on
Decoration Day. Only one who has
seen the thousands of little stones,
all nameless, in the graveyards at
Chickamauga and Gettysburg can get
the faintest idea of what 1t means to
be Grand Army man.

veterans withdrew and marched by
themselves. Does the lightning never
strike in the vicinity of Mt. Vernon?
We have the highest respect for those
men who did fight in the Spanish war
but they must remember the services
of their elders.
We quote from our friend the New
York Sun" few verses in regard to
those men who want pensions who did
not fight in the late war with Spain.
