pEDAGoG1c ADVICE OF LITTLE VALUE.
BY John A. Rowland.

One of the least tolerable of all advisers of
the young man is he who frames his long,
canting lists of "Don'ts." These inhibitions
on the face of them are as the law of the
Medes and Persians Presumably they are to
fit every man In every position in every emer-
gency in the calendar. Most of them are
framed with reference to propitiating the en-
nlnyer repa ri1less of the rarsnnalitias. -

poyer and employee regardless Of the merits or demerit
of situation and therefore utterly ignorant Of whether
not the most radical violation Of his particular Don
might be the turning point itself in the life Of that par
ucular young man.

The vice consul's left eye closed, and
he laughed.
Seriously speaking, though" he con-
tinued, II do not believe this wedding
will be attended by the dlsagreeable
features Of those you mentioned The
connt is splendid type of manhood;
his family is one of the Oldest aud best
in Austria, he is wealthy, heroic, kind
and gentle. But you Americans nre
such a hurry-up lot. You rush on to
business in the morning, eat your lunch
standing up in about two minutes, and
rush off again to commercialism. What
kind of home can such an American
give wife? 1t is because you run off
to your business and leave your wives
to their own amusement that your
wealthy girls who love travel and easy
living resort to foreign noblemen for
husbands"
The vice consul denounced the~A,ne:-
lean Impression that mobiles of other
countries crossed the seas to exchange
soiled titles for American gold.
SIT is untrue that our nobility come
here to capture American fortunes and
give nothing but soiled name in re-
turn" he declared "Over in my coun-
try we say the same thing about you.
Your people come over there and buy
our titles with your money. This talk
about all marriages with mobiles being
unhappy also is false. There are more
unhappy marriages in New York than
in any city abroad."-Utic Globe.
Dream of Science Realixeds
A dream of science, which has been
cherished for ages, has recently come
so close to realization That the world
has lad start, as it were. The arti-
fetal production of life, at which ex-
perimenters have aimed, almost since
men first entered into any extended
knowledge of the elements and Of chem
lea action, appears to have been all but
accomplished, and, while the man who
has conducted the experiments which
have shown suck remarkable results,
makes no loud acclaim over his discovr;
cry, he points to the work he has done
and we can but wonder at 1t.
Artificial plants have been produced
in test tubes by Prof. Leduc, of Nantes,
France, as well us artificial seaweed
produced from an artificial cell; also

MUST ABOLISH
FLAT" CAR WHEEL
New Regulation Is to Be
Added to the List Re-
Gently Promulgated.

4 new regulation, prohibiting street
railways running cars that have fiat
wheels. Is 10 be added 10 the list of
those which the Interstate Commerce
Commission recently promulgated as
governing the operation of street cars
in the District OF Columbia.
The District Electric Railway Com
mission has decided 10 have the new
rule added. but the actual authority to
make it official lies with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. District Com
missioner West said today that there
was formerly a police regulation which
prohibited the use OF WORKOUT or fiat"
wheels. but that it seems to have been
dropped or forgotten
Complaints Made.
The traction board has received sew
eraI complaints regarding defective
wheels. not only because Of the noise
they made in residential districts, but
because OF the bouncing that passengers
received from them. One man. an attor-
ney, wrote 10 the board that he thought
the wheel on one car must have been
'ellptical"
This action regarding worn-out
wheels viii be the first definite step
toward the regulation of street rain
ways, that the traction board has
taken since the prosecutions in the
cases OF overspeeding.
The District Electric Railway Com
mission will also recommend 10 the In
terstaJe Commerce Commission that the
latter body at once enforce the law re
lating TO overcrowding. Secretary Eddy.
of the former board, reported to the
traction board at its meeting yester-
day numerous details as to the over
crowded condition of cars on certain
lines. The matter is so important and
extensive, however. that the subcom-
mission viii secure more data before
making any formal recommendation on
the subject. The law clearly states that
street cars IN this District shall be
operated without Overcrowding.
Additional Signs.
The traction board has decided to
ask the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion TO have the cars bear signs NOR
clearly Indicating their destination Mt
West says that this recommendation
will be- made as soon as the subCOm-
mission has found the best practicable
means OF having such signs arranged
II Is intended, he says that the cars
shall be SC marked that strangers com
ing 10 the city may be able 10 CLEAN

plan adopted in some other cities Of
having the destination marked on the
sides and back as well as the front,
was an excellent one.
The schedules Of cars and equipment
of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, which thar company =
few weeks ago declined To give TO the

been received by the Interstate Com
merce Commission and passed over by
that body to the traction board. Il IS
expected that the schedules Of the Capt.
tai Traction Company viii soon follow.
In order TO gain data on which 10 base

Anti Hughes plea to President
Made by FaSseH at Oyster Bay
Roosevelt Declines to Declare Against Governor, How
ever, Until He Knows Attitude of Voters
Talks of Police Law

F.. OYSTER. BAY, Aug. 1s.-President
Roosevelt has had long conference
with J. SIoat Fassett, the Republican
leader of Chemung. and, as has been
the case at the many other conferences
which the President recently has had
with other state leaders, the State po-
Htical situation was gone over thor
oughly.
Extraordinary efforts are being
brought to bear to convince the Presi-
dent that the denomination of Governor
Hughes would be a blow to the Republi-
can party. According TO Representative
Fassett. this pressure is not alone com
ing from the racetrack element and poll
ticians. but from the heads OF railroad
companies, labor organizations, business
men. and the public generally, who dis
approve of Mr.. Hughes for various rea-
sons.
The President is said 10 be annoyed.
however, by the fact that Mr.. Hughes
enemies do not come out In the open.
For the most part, they content them
selves with writing letters to the Presi-
dent. while Mr. Roosevelt desires par
ticularIy that the opposition take a
more tangible form, so that 1t can be
definitely determined just how Governor
Hughes stands with the voters.
The President viii take no action re-
gardug Mr.. Hughes denomination until
he is more certain Of the governor
strength. He has given the word 10 the
leaders who have journeyed here 10 see
him that they must hustle around and
ind out something about the number Of
friends the governor has. With the ex-
ception OF Senator Raines. only those
opposed to Mr.. Hughes have been TO
Sycamore HIN so far.
Thinks Hughes Weak
After Representative Fassett had left
Sycamore Hill he said:
I talked over the political situation
in the state with the President this
afternoon Secretary Of the Treasury
CorteIyou and Stephen H. Glen, of New
York city, were present. I can not tell
all that was discussed, but l can say
that the President feels that the entire
situation in the state has been given
wrong twist. The President IS learning
that the opposition 10 Governor hughes
is not confined to the politicians and 70
the racing element. but is wide and
deep. and comes from many sources.
Earnest protests against the re-
nomination OF Mr. Hughes have come
from FallrOau men AOI llisAall,cs "ilu
also from labOTing classes generally,
Personally / can not see where MT
Hughes has gained strength numerically
over Hearst since the last gubernatorial
election. In my part Of the State /
would say that the people are about
evenly divided on the question OF Mr.
Hughes denomination.
"A peculiar feature about the present
situation, and one which Is unusual. 10
say the least, is that there should be so
much opposition to Hughes at this time.
when there is no other candidate in the
field. Personally. l think the question
should be settled in the district caucus,
