Club, which is composed of sixteen
men who are also about as busily en-
gagged as Mr.. Nusbaum, and the loyalty
these men have shown their director is
also testimonial to his fitness for the
position. The services the Apollo
Club has rendered on a number of city
events is also testimonial that he has
lost none of his cunning as a director.
Mr.. Nusbaum does not pose as pro-
fessional. preferring to stay in the

is done that has put Richmond on the
map. unsteady speaking. To be sure
Mr.. Nusbaum is indebted to a host of

support of his chorus, but anyone that
knows anything of chorus work, knows
that it takes master hand to hold and

Mr.. Nusbaum has not only kept the

That Is what they have done with
Luther Burbank. the plant wizard-in-
corporated him into the Luther Bur
bank Products company.
They say corporations have no soul.
but this corporation certainly has
soul-the soul Of Luther Burbank.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Burbank
came into public notice by his produe-
ton Of the potato which bears his
name In the years since he has
wrought wonders in the perfection OF
plant life by his crossbreeding.
He has produced a plum with the
taste and texture Of . Bartlett pear.
He has eliminated the thorn from
many varieties Of fruit and has PRO-
duced a spinelcss cactus. There Is
scarcely q vegetable or fruit or flower
on which he has not made improve
ments.
OF all these the dehorning Of the
cactus" is believed to be his greatest
accomplishment.
L. is this latter feat in hybridiSatiou
that has excited the interest Of CAPT
talists and led to the Incorporation OF
the company. They can easily see mil
lions in It,"
Already Mr.. Burbank has developed
several varieties OF spineless cactus
some Of the new varieties having the
flavor Of the cantaloupe and OF the
peach.
The possibilities Of this plant Of the
plains, now practically useless and q
cumberer Of the ground. are amazing
Mr. Burbank will turn the cactus into
forage for cattle and will thus produce
a fodder that will yield three or foul
times as much as the tame grasses.
That will literally make the desert
blossom as the rose.

From Far and Near
"Rear Car for Ladies'"


From the New York Herald.-Truly
this age belongs to women. Listen to
those loud outcries about tariff taxed
hosiery that are making congress
tremble! and look at the Rear Car
for Ladies'" to and from New Jersey.
We opine that this Innovation. starting
on the Hudson tunnel system and
threatening to spread to the INTERIOR
ough. will soothe many troubled
spirit. Men may be glad that the
question of giving up seats to the 9TH
er sex does not intrude. Women will
rejoice that they can discuss in their
subaqueous journey the lighter themes
OF life and not be obliged to listen to
weighty debates on politics or Jack
johnson. Incidentally the male pas
sengers will get more room by the
exclusion OF feminine headgear with
the menacing fringe Of hatpins. And
to the women may come relief from
those uncomfortable persons who
gaze and ogle and gaze again at ev-
cry attractive face. Inasmuch as the
segregation is not compulsory it may
prove a success. Certainly the trav-
cling public will watch the experiment
with great interest, for who knows
where the next classification might
cut?

The Presidents Salary.

From the Japan Mail-The house
Of representatives, according to tele-
gram from the Nichi Nichi Shimbun's
New York correspondent, has refused
to indorse the senate's proposal for
doubling the salary of the president.
The present amount is 100000 yen.
and the senate voted to double it, but
the house of representatives has de-
cided to increase by only so per cent,
namely, to 10000 yen. The represen-
tatives are quoted as saying that a
salary OF 10000 should amply suffice
to maintain the dignity of the presi-
Dental position. From an English
point of view the Americans cannot
be accused of excessive generosity in
this matter. The chief magistrate of
the great republic has hitherto been
receiving one-fifth of the salary paid
to the Viceroy of India.

Has Many Saloons.
Logansport has many saloons-in
fact, more than are usually found in a
city of it's size. and there has never
been time when thirsty man could
not get drink there day or night,
Sunday included. Logansport has had
many murders traceable directly to
liquor. and this is one of the reasons
why the people of Cass county are
stirred up over the question. But there
are more voters in Logansport than
there are in the entire county outside
of the city. and it is conceded by ev-
eryone that the city will go wet by
large majority. The voters of Logans-
port outnumber those of the out-town-
ships by 9S1. The vets insist that
this fact alone will assure them a safe
majority at today's election, but the
drys are claiming that the out-town-
ship will give such large dry major

Barring Out Opium.

From the Chicago Record Herald
A law passed by congress during the

term opium" shall cover all forms Of

City Committee Will Frame a
Rule Which Hits One
Contestant.
WILL PRACTICE ECONOMY
Committeeman DECIDE TO CUT
DOWN ELECTION EXPENSES BY
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF OF.
FIClAlS.

Candidates of the republican party
who will be chosen at the coming cleo
ton will be required to pledge their
support to the nominees of the party, If
one of the rules proposed by the city
committee is adopted. This rule may
have reflection toward at least one OF
the candidates. who now is running on
the republican ticket. but. following
the nomination of four years ago. re-
fused his support to the choice Of the
party.
To Reduce Expenses.
The committee will endeavor to re-
duce expenses as much as possible, al
though it is expected the actual cost of
the campaign will be greater than ever
before. AS the result of the plan of
economy, il is probable only one judge
will be provided for each precinct. in
stead of two as heretofore. The sher-
if will be permitted to act in cases of
question. with the judge and inspector.
With the money saved from the pay of
the judges. it is proposed to provide adj
ditional voting places. The intention
is to have two places to vote in the
seventh, fifth and fourth wards.
Judsship Matter.
The question of city judgeship will
be permitted to go by default, SO far as
the committee Is concerned. The mat
ter will be left to the discretion of the
city council. This will put the can
didates for the office in a somewhat
embarrassing position. Unless coun-
ell acts before the date of the primary
the candidates will be strictly on the
fence. They will not want to contrib
ute to the campaign expenses and
make the race. not knowing whether
the office will be continued, and unless
they make the race at this time anu
have their names voted upon, they
would have to stand the expense of a
special election.
The printing of the ballots will be
one of the biggest items of expense as
they will have to be different in each
ward. The committee will meet to-
morrow night to pass upon the propos-
| ed rules.
