CHARLES E. SAVIDGE.

The death OF Charles E. Savidge,
an old aud well-known resident of
Bloomsbury, occurred at his home
on East street, on Saturday after
noon. He had been in i'll health
for several months. He is surviv-
ed by his wife, and one son, Ed
mund, and by two brothers, Harry
of Bloomsbury, and Alexander who
is in Spain; and by a sister, Mrs.
William Brown of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Savidge was born in Danville
in March Is47. and was therefore
62 years and 8 months old. He
served in the Civil war, as musi-
clan in the famous Ricketts, Bat
terry, and soon after the war closed
he moved to Bloomsbury and en-
gagged in the watch and jewelry
business, continuing in that line
until within the past few years. He
was of quiet and unassuming dis
position, and he bad many friends
who mourn his loss. He was a
member of Theta Castle, Knights
of the Golden Eagle.
The funeral was held on Tues
day afternoon at O'Clock, Rev. J.
w. Diggles, rector of St. PauPs
Church officiating.

THE NICARAGUAN SITUATION.

The Government has jumped into
the Nicaraguan row, and will sup
port the revolutionary movement.
The present administration Of that
country has been the source of
much trouble for the State Depart
ment, and it has been decided in
Washington that President Zelaya,
who, even in his own country, is
considered usurper, must go. His
order for the summary execution of
two American citizens last week is
taken as an affront, and he will be
made to suffer for it.
This government will recognize
the belligerency of the insurgents,
and will aid III overturning what it
considers to b. a troublesome and
unwise power.
Gunboats have been ordered to
the Nicaraguan coasts, and Marines
are to be landed.
Nicaragua has for long time
been the seat of disturbances. If
our government can establish a
stable one in the Central American
:epublic, and put an end to the
troubles, that part of the world will
be blessed with little more peace.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Not since Our industrial system
developed the so-called trust has
there been a decision in Our courts
equal in Importance to that which
was handed down in the United
States Circuit Court for the Eastern
District of Missouri by Judge w.
H, Sanborn last Saturday, declar-
ing the Standard Oil Company to
be an illegal corporation for the re-
straint of trade, and ordering its
dissolution in thirty days.
The case will probably be appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, in which
case a stay of dissolution will b.
granted until that body passes on
the decision.
Of all the corporations attacked
by the government the Standard
Oil Company is probably the most
formidable although the Sugar
Trust, which is just now in hot
water is likewise extremely power.
full. An idea of its magnitude may
be gained by glance at the follow
lug facts.
The dividend of $40 a share for
the fourth quarter, declared by the
Standard Oil directors last week
makes $3o.335,3 $50 that will be dis
bursed III the current year. The
net profits of the Standard Oil
Company from 1902 to 1909 in
elusive, aggregate more than $4o3,-
900, 900, and the surplus, after
dividends of $3IS, 500 900, aggre-
gates approximately $275, 900, 900
The Company for the last five
years has been paying to share
holders $40 share each year. It's
annual net profits have averaged
close to $50, 900, 900.

Kitchen middens" of Denmark of

PUT ON TO A NEW WRINKLE.
City Salesman Learned Something
About Regulation Of Watches.

After carrying a watch for 30 years
I have just learned something new in
watch lore" said the city salesman. ~
don't know whether it is true or not,
but an old matchmaker told me. I
bought watch of him the other day.
1t was a cheap watch. He said:
What pocket are you going to
carry your watch in-the right or
left?'
II told him the left.
Then said he, 4 will regulate It
for the left
II asked what difference It made,
and he declared that a watch runs
faster on the left side than on the
right. so to keep it from gaining time
he regulates it accordingly. In fine
watches the difference is hardly worth
considering, but in watches OF cheap
make like mine 1t is very noticeable
l asked for a scientific reason for this
variation. He could give none; said
he only knew it was true, and then,
whether he was taking or not, he pre-
tended to regulate my watch for the
left pocket"

When a Tooth Is Not a Tooth.

In Seattle last year man was
charged with and tried for practicing
dentistry without license. Each par.
ticular piece of evidence necessary to
make out the case on the part of the
state was proved, except that the
prosecutor, having procured the pros
ecuting witness to exhibit his botched
tooth to the jury, either forgot or
didn't think it was necessary to ask
the witness If it was natural or an
artificial tooth, and so lost his case.

a fee without license. Now the sen.
sible presumption-the presumption
that men or judges would naturally in
dulge in if they had not become i'm
bued with the passion of peering for
oopheles-would be that the tooth
was natural and not artificial. But if
We presumed that, the law would

Had to Have Her Cigarettes.

Because the management of the
hotel after frantic but fruitless
searching of the city, was unable to
provide any of the peculiar brand OF
London cigarettes which she is &C
customed to smoke and which she says
are absolutely essential to her hap
piness. Mrs. George Wyndham, a
wealthy and pretty young English
woman, from exclusive Hyde Park
London, gave up her handsome apart

York. With her pretty and demure
English maid she went to visit friends

of the cigarettes of the brand she Sc
much desired, but of which she has

Secret OF Successful Oratory.

"The most effective orator | have
ever heard" says writer in the
Windsor, was an Italian eX-friar, an
old Garibaldian, Sig. Gavazzi by name,
who lectured in England when | was
in my teens. He was addressing some
5000 men and women OF the hard.
headed north country type. He was
speaking in English, which was to him
an acquired and foreign language. He
played on his hearers as If they were
an old fiddle in the grasp Of Paganini
He made them literally laugh and cry
at will He would one moment hush
them in spellbound silence, and the
next, by a word or gesture, he would
explode the charged mine of their en-
thusiasm into deafening cheers. AS
listened to him | first understood why
Demosthenes insisted so strenuously
on action-action or delivery as the
first, second and third secret of sue

THE bull was dashing from one
