The primary object which our War Depart ment has in view. if we understand 1t correctly, Is to have ready at all times fleet of airships that will be prepared to defend our coasts against hostile battleships of the kind now in. use.

This b My 58th Birthday
Sir Oliver Lodge .

Sir Oliver Lodge, the celebrated sci- enlist. who recently set London astir with the declaration that he had dis covered a plan whereby the London fog might be abolished, was born in Stanordshire, England, June 12, 1851. At 14 he was taken into business to help his father, who was in falling health, and he continued in business till the age of 21. In the meantime he spent his evenings in hard study and in 1872 he went to University College, London. He graduated in 1877 and three years later he was appointed professor of physics at the University College, then just established in Liver pool: Since 1900 he has been principal of the University of Birmingham. He Is the author of number nf scientific works and has lectured at universities and before scientific bodies on both sides of the Atlantic. Some of his most important work has been con- nected with the alternating character Of lightning and other discharges and with the propagation of .lectro-I~eg- uetic waves.

Primary Plan in Peril.
Washingt.

Maryland political managers must take notice that the primary system of choosing Senators is on trial before the people It may have its advantages very thing we need in our political business But surely here Is a condi- tion in Maryland that should not be permitted to stand: and if it is, tt will be productive of much future trouble, we suspect. Maryland owes it to her self to return Senator Rayner to the seat he has filled so ably, and without any such tax upon him as proposed. If ton precedent to participation In an election as a candidate before the peo- pie be accepted as just and equitable then the tie d for the selection of Sem atorial timber is at once sharply da- fined and rather definitely circum- scribed :"

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.
Providence Journal.

Providence Journal.
 Whatever the platform meant, how ever or whatever Messrs. Aldrich and Lodge fancy they can make 1t mean, there Is no doubt as to the intention of the President in this matter. He has given his own interpretation of "the basis promised by our party" This he said explicitly in his inaugural address that 1t is thought that there has been such a change in conditions drafted on a similarly protective prin- clple, that the measure of the tariff difference in wage cost here and abroad) will permit the reduction of rates in certain schedules and will re- Qulre the advancement of few, If any" From this point of view the only de- fense for the kind of bill we are like ly to get Is that it was 8 mistake to suppose there had been a change in conditions; and no one has yet ven- tured to suggest that. But MT. Taft went even further and stated that "in the making of a tariff the prime mo- tive is taxation, and the securing thereby of a revenue" It would take even more assurance than Messrs. Aid rich and Lodge possess to pretend that this Is the motive which animates the tariff-makers at Washington.

DEADLY DELIBERATIONS.
Appalling Record of Fourth of July
 Casualties.

Casualties.
 Koch ester Evening Times.
 In six years, owing to our fool me tn = ods of celebrating the Fourth of July. as many American have been killed or maimed as would equal in number one seventh of the population of Rochester in round numbers. 30.000.
 That. of course, Is tremendous waste, It has been reckoned that the value of a live working man to the community, both as 8 producer and as a consumer of the products of others, is not less than $50 a week, averaged up. We do not know what the reck- oning is as to the economic value of women, and we shall avoid trouble by refusing tO hazard any estimate of our own. merely affirming that wo- mans value Is inestimable. But if we halve the $50 estimate for men and assume one-half of the killed-whose number in these six years Is put by The Journal of the American Medical Association at 1,316--to have been lads with thirty years expectancy of pro- ductive life, we have as 3 waste from deaths alone the sum of $25,662, 900, to which must be added the loss from in- juries and the cost of gun powder and other explosives foolishly burned to make a bloody holiday. It probably Is as good guess as any to say that eY- cry fourth of July sees us 10,000.000 poorer than we would be if we could learn to celebrate with better judg-

The PranIka of Youth.

Rome (Ga.0 Tribune Herald.
 The appointment of Hilary A. Ter aer- bert as arbitrator in the Georgia Rail road strike calls attention to. the bril- liant talents and attainments Of the man who was Secretary Of the Navy in Clevelands cabinet. MT. Herbert is in this connection a Roman tells an in- teresting anecdote of his youthful days which goes to show that it Is not all ways the most sedate student who makes the best record in life.
 pr. Harris. the father of Superin- tendent J. c. Harris of the Rome Pub lie school and tba MT Herbert, were ss bama. They took a dislike to the Pro- lessor of Chemistry, and in company with three other youths secured 8 istry building in the dead of night and turned loose in the laboratory. The equine played havoc In the scientific domain, lunching off the chemicals, ing the whole room into disorder.
 The faculty started an investigation, and as a result Herbert. Harris and their companions were suspended from college. Everyone of the five lads con- cerned in this escapade made his mark in the world, while many of their com rades who looked with horror on the deed, and never raised their noses from commencement program, and were new CT heard of again. Now The Tribune-Herald must not be misunderstood. We are not ad- vising any college boy to transform the halls of science into stables. to paint the chapel-walls with their class numerals, to hang the dean in eftigy. or perform any other lawless stunts. so dear to the heart of the average colle- gian. But on the other hand, ped agogues and people should learn to dis tfnguish between malice and merri. ment, between mischief and malevol- ence. Age lends harshness to the view and makes the prankishness and But most of us were just as bad when we were umpteen."
 Red in the blood and sand in the craw manifested by pranks at twenty. are apt to be transformed into achievements at forty.

The Roanoke News wants to know why they can't grow peaches profit ably in Randolph. and we suspect that the logical answer would be that no systematic and intelligent effort Is made in that direction. The News points out that they have the climate soil and other things to make peach growing successful and profitable. in all of which 1t reasons correctly. and we've no doubt that there would be profit in the crop. Some progressive citizen should try it.

The sheriff of The Law.

COlumpla state.
 The sheriff who surrenders his pri- soner without fight ought to be made to surrender his ofice--he is not fit for It.. And as soon as the so-callad mob" finds out that some of its members are in danger of getting their hides punctured If they attack a jail or attempt to take 6 prisoner from a sheriff the sooner will the lynching sport fall into distaste
 With an Alabama sheriff removed from office by the State supreme court and with a Tennessee sheriff facing the prospect of a prison sentence for allowing the lynching of a prisoner under the protection of the United States supreme court, who knows but the time Is close when all the sheriffs will realize that the law as well as the mob has some voice in the disposi. ton of prisoners in their charge? Kindness in turning the prisoner over to them but later when the law takes hold the sheriff will not find his kind friends of the mob rushing to help him out of trouble.

WEBB PROPERTY SOLD
TO HIGHEST BIDDER.
Four Pieces Of Property and Odds and
Ends at the House Disposed o.
Residence Not Sold.

On Thursday at administrators sale
George W. Rouse, acting as auctioneer,
four pieces Of property and. some
household articles belonging to the es-
tate of Sarah A. Webb were sold.
There were many present. but most OF
the antique belongings had previously
been sold.
The household effects sold brought
less than 800, while the property
which went under the hammer was all
mortgaged heavily. An old fashioned
Bible table was one Of the interesting
articles sold.
The Holm property. sorner Of
Thames street and Pages lane, was
sold to James Mahoney for 1880.
There is a mortgage on that for. about
sos. The Smell property, corner OF
High street and Pages lane, was sold.
to Chief John Murphy for $500 at pri-
vate sale. The mortgage on that prop.
erty was about 5000. The Lang prop
erty, No. 115 High street, went to Rog-
err Ryan of Baltic for $1,377.50, on which
the mortgage and interest amounts to
about $3.50. The farm in Pachaug Of
IS acres was sold to g. S. Raymond

The homestead was not sold, and will
probably be divided among the heirs.
at it is believed sufficient expenses will
be received from the other sales. TIE
heirs ore a half brother and half neph-
ews and nieces.

GREAT MARATHON TONIGHT.
Longboat Runs Shrubb in New York.
EngIishman tho FaVorite.

Without exception, what promises to
be the most sensational race in the
history Of American sports, will take
place tonight in Madison Square gar
den, New York, when Al Shrub the
English long distance champion, and
Tom Longboat. the Canadian Indian,
will settle the question of supremacy
over the Marathon course of rs miles
and Ss5 yards.
Ever since Longboat defeated Do
rando it has been maintained in many
quarters that the Indian is the great
est long distance runner in the world
and that he could beat Shrubb.
On the other hand Shrubb's wonder
full performances in England and in
this country at every distance IN to
and including Is miles, has induced
many of his followers to back him to
the limit. They maintain that the
Briton is such a wonder up to the Is
mile distance that he should have no
trouble beating Longboat at his own
game.
Betting on the race in NewYork be-
gan in earnest on Wednesday. Shrubb
ruled the favorite at to 5, with pIen-
ty of hackers, but there was a lack Of
Longboat money, which was probably
due to the fact that the Indians sup
porters will not place their wages IN
til they reach the trackside.
Who will win? viii it be the In
dian with his feet IL inches Of flesh
and blood and sinew and the rest,
with his 20 years, his lab pounds and
his stride of feet 6 inches? He can
not be sized up, for not even he him
self knows just what he can do.
Or will lit he the Englishman, a vet
eran runner and unbeaten at his own
distance?
Shrubb is lighter than Longboat, his
stride is feet 8 inches short and
snappy, with no waste in it.
Sports and experts who think
Shrub will win are Pooch Donovan,
Johnny Mack. c. Fitzpatrick, Jere De-
laney, B. Wefers, Harry Dadmun, Mel
Sheppard and Charlie Harvey
Bob Fowler does not think that
Shrub can last the distance, and ia
vors Longboat, and so do John L. Sui
livan and Pat Dineen.

RECEPTION AND DANCE
FOR THE MISSES. BAucK
Delightful Time Enjoyed by Host Of
Friends in Olympic Hall.

Local friends of the Misses Elsa
and Alma Bauck especially the clerks
in the Boston Store, where Miss Alma
Bauck is employed as cashier, were
present in Olympic hall Thursday eve
ming at a delightful reception and
dance arranged in their honor. In the
considerable list of social affairs en-
joyed by the clerks of this establish
ment, this one proved one of the most
brilliant and thoroughly enjoyed, and
the attendance of 200 spoke convinc-
ingly of the popularity of the two
young ladies whom their friends were
pleased to honor. In entire charge of
the arrangements were Miss Gertrude
Pentdleton and Miss Esther Oddly, who
had arranged each detail with a
thoughtful mind for the pleasure of
each one present.
The programme opened with a
grand march. in which thirty couples
participated. finely led by joseph
Saunder and Miss Elsa Bauck. the
second couple being William Corcoran
and Miss Paula Bauck. Miss Elsa
Bauck wore becoming directoire
gown of nile green messaline, with
black hand embroidered chenille trim
ming, with gilt slippers. and carried
white carnations. Miss Paula Bauck
wore baby blue pongee; Miss Pendle-
dy wore white bloadcloth and carried
pink roses. The many beautiful gowns
worn, showing the newest fashionable
colors. made the well executed march
a pretty picture.
BY a fall on the evening preceding
the dance, dislocating her shoulder,
Miss Alma Bauck was prevented from
taking part in the march. but she was
able to attend the reception, viewing
the festivities from one of the boxes,
where her friends extended their re-
grets at her misfortune.
Following the march, which was at
9 o'clock, the dance programme was
carried out until one o'clock, the the
alter orchestra playing and Bennett
prompting. Lemonade and punch
were served, and ice cream and wa
fers at the intermission, the Waure-
gan house catering
Present. and furnishing much fun
during the evening, were the two Sun
ny Jims of the Boston Store, Jim
Dawley and Frank Doherty, who en-
joyed the parts they had in escort
ing the ladies to their dressing room,
keeping the floor waxed, and serving
in numerous other ways, with the ra-
dating smile which distinguishes them
and makes them favorites with all
at the store.
