A PLACE NAME

FRIVOLOUS contemporaries are
neglecting the main issue in the
II Warden Yell episode in order to
have fun with the apparently vocifer-
Gus name of that excellent public Of
fetal. His treatment was a bowling
shame, and with this furtive contribu-
ton to the Yellology of the case we
apologize and promise to be good.
Nay, more. we will set the public right
about Mr.. Yell as far as his patronymic
is concerned. 1t is a geographical name,
a place name. There are several quaint
little islands off the coast of Scotland
that rejoice in names that would battle
the inventiveness of a humorist. Five
of them are Rum, Coll. TREE Egg and
Null, and a sixth is Yell.

The press agents of the various Re
publican wouldbe presidential candi-
dates are working overtime. Ever
since President Mckinley was first
nominated, in no small measure as the
result of persistent, polite, plausible
press agent work, candidates have
thought it worth while to encourage
the advertising feature in modern
American politics. Major McKinleys
chief press agent was Loomis, after
ward assistant secretary of state.
From Tress agency to cabinet" is
truly a seductive program.

They grew up ragged, barefoot

is the most important and

of their undershirts have they come

Charities.
1t is only for a short period that we
have seen what the city means. We
know it to be the highest social ex-
preston. We now know of the meal
culable wealth produced by the ,abor-
saving device of propinquity and are
vaguely conscious that the community
should retain what the community has
created We recognize the possibilities
for the highest sort of cooperation,
and the strength and understanding
that comes of human neighborhood.
There is an ever-recurring disap-
pointment in the SloWneSS or our
progress. Do you remember how Thor
pulled away at the horn Of mead and
was disguised at the little impression
made upon it? Do you remember how
he was solaced by finding out that he
had been trying to drink up the ocean?
1t is at once the despair and the re-
ward of the individual that in our
civic struggles he is dealing with vast
masses of men. The progress Of
democracy is slow, but when anything
is accomplished great deal has been
done, all of us are rising or falling
together. Thus to hammer, to drive
in, realizing sense" of things mu-
nicipal has taken years and years of
fiery zeal and Unreasonable energy,
but not one particle of honest effort
has been wasted. The lessons are TAX
ing hold and bearing fruit; the cities
are coming to their own.

ers should have gone so far astray and
should have failed to link our urban
conditions next to our family life.
Light, air, water, sanitation and trans
portation we must have as primary
physical necessities; law and order,
education, recreation and beauty-these
are fundamental social demands Not
one of these essentials can in any wise
find expression or place in the policies
of national parties. For none of them
can the cities look to the state. They
must be worked for by each commun-
ity and obtained under home rule,
through the service, the struggle and
the sacrifice of the municipal citizen.
The program of municipal advance
ment is coming into clearer and clearer
outline. for the story of the wrongs.
the faults, the diseases, the needs and
the aspirations of the cities is prac-
tically the same throughout the

The daily grist of the local courts
has yielded a new and amazing name,
Carbonate Ore Johnson" That is to
say. 1t is amazing nowadays, but when
America was younger Brother Carbon
ate Ore would have found himself in
company with Praise-the-Lords and
Grace-Aboundings and Humilities and
Contents and Thankfuls. The victory of
the Cavalier over the Puritan nomen-
olature, which was always descriptive
and frequently pious. is one of the
most curious minor phases of Ameri-

The press censors of Portugal will
keep us guessing for some time to come.
The only free countries in the world
are those that use the English Lam

a gallery of gilded freaks called "the

hope for them yet" They are begin

DISSOLVES INJUNCTION Judge Speer's Order
 Made Void. JUDGE PARDEE's DECISION Rates Will Now Be Increased in
 Georgia. RaIlrosds Are Required to Give Bonds to Protect the shippers fin Event
 They Lose the Suit
 in Court.

Ashsviie, N C., Aug. 5.--United States Circuit Judge Pardee, of Flor ida, who is spending his summer vaca- tion in this city, today dissolved the order of Judge Emory Speer, prohibit ting the Southern Railway. the Louis vile and Nashville. and other railroads from enforcing the proposed increase in freight rates in the Slate of Geor- gia.
 By the appeal and supersedeas grant, ed by Judge Pardee. the railroads in- terested will be allowed to put their new rates In effect in Georgia as in other states, pending the final hearing of the matter.
 The order of Judge speer Is the out come 0 fthe action taken by certain railroads which recently gave notice that effective August 1. they would put into effect an increased freight rate known as an increase of the Ohio river rates. In the meantime and be- fore the rates become effective, cer- tain shippers in Georgia appeared be- fore Judge speer seeking to restrain the roads from putting the rates into effect. Judge speer granted the re- strafnfng order and an unusual sttua- tion wag. created with q certain rate in effect in Georgia and another rate in other states.
 Judge pardee required of the raii- roads appearing through counsel. to pay sufficient bonds to protect the shipers who secured from Judge Speer the restraining order from any loss that they may sustain in the. event that the suit Ia decided adversely to the railroads.

WHISKEY IN A FIRE
FOUR IMMENSE WAREHOUSES ARE
 DESTROYED.
Flames are StiII Carrying Devastation Before Them in Midway, Ky. --Special Trains Carry
 Bremen to Scene.

Midway Ky. Aug. 6.-Four immense bonded whiskey warehouses of Green. baum Brothers Distiliery were de- stroyed by fire which started last nihgt in the rear of warehouse A and spread rapidly. Two other ware. houses are. on Ire.
 The flames spread to the distillery proper and conhagratioA Is threat ened which may wipe out the whole of Midway. Forty-seyen thousand. bar. rels of whiskey have already burned.
 As the big warehouses were enEulfed in the flames. thousands of barrels of whiskey burst and poured into a branch of Elkhorn Creek nearby. The whis- key on the water quickly caught fire and the creek became a fiery stream. Six negro cabins on the bank of the creek were consumed and the Southern Railway trestle spanning the creek was destroyed.
 Midway has only one fire engine and a volunteer department, but the whole town turned out to fight the fire. and appeals for help were sent to various cities. Special trains were made up at Louisville and Winchester and these towns are rushing ire fighting appa- ratus to the stricken town
 With the flames spreading to the dis tillery proper there is great danger of the business and residence portions of tho town being consumed unless help arrives soon.
