The Baltimore Sun protests against
the idea of Sect. NIcVeagh that the
size of the bank bills should be re-
duced. 1t objects to a return to shin
plasters. AS it says, the trouble with
the present paper money is not its
size; that worries very few people.
All of us can find room for all we
will ever get hold Of The difficulty
is in getting hold of enough of it.
Bankers complain that the present
currency is dirty, stained and soiled,
and that it is full of germs and laden
with disease. But Americans are
brave, and the widest set of germs
that ever stuck out their tongues will
not deter the money-chaser from
grabbing a dollar, wherever it may
lift its head

REGULARS AND MILITIA,
(WaShington POst.l


While the district militia is storm
ing the 1ame-belching walls of Bos-
ton, a step is being taken by the War
Department that is intended to do
much toward bringing together the
governments two branches of men
alarms, the regulars and the militia
men. There have been assembled at
Fort Leavenworth II veteran ser
geants of the army who are being in
structed as the first class of such
men to be assigned to service with
state militia. The purpose is to carry
to that militia the practical love of
the regular service. They are intend
ed further as an olive. branch of
friendliness between the two services
that may lead so far as an inter-
change of officers and men in time of
war.
In all the wars of the past, nota-
bly, the civil war, the forces of the
nation have been weak because the
trained and unframed men did not
mix. A volunteer regiment naturally

nothing but the highest rate of taxa

Nebraska has now become one Of
the great dairying states. Enormous
quantities of butter are shipped from
it to the East. Probably the day is
not far distant when we will be eat

stead of the New York and Iowa
products If we managed things
right, though, we would consume but
ter bearing an Americas brand. 1t is
a great economic blunder not to de-

We are moving to the country and our

We've finished with the packing and

And we're all of us delighted to be

We have left the city racket and the

And we're glad to say adieu to both

Well eat our humble supper at the

JACKSON'S
LEIGH DE LACY.

The famous Grace George success '-Clothes" by Avery Haywood and Charming Pollock. will be presented at Jackson theatre this evening and judg- ing from the hearty manner in which the play was received at the matinee expect a most pleasurable evenings entertainment "Clothes'' concerns a young woman who manages to drag out an existence on s2.000 a year, try Ing to keep pace with the women of her set. And the whole argument set ties comfortably into a discussion as to what to wear. and incidentally as to how to get it. Olivia Sherwood. the heroine, tries hard to be on the square but her income is too small. As a matter of fact she has no in- come at all. but is receiving money from her lawyer, which she supposes are dividends from her fathers estate. Olivia is simple as a child in business matters, but is a skilled artist in mat ters of fine rainment- Of course a day of reckoning comes. She is going to marry Richard Burbank for his money, she doesn't love him, then changes her mind 1t wouldn't be right Then she discovers that she does love him, after all. and the suit is re-opened only to be closed again by Cliyia's determination not to marry Richard because he did have money. Thus she vaciIlates, but in the end the affair is satisfactorily adjusted, by Richards determination to have her at all costs. He follows her home one evening and insists on a hearing. He has given his money all away. she no longer can object to him. and so the happy ending is inevitable. Although
 the play is termed a comedy. 1t really

 entation of the great New York sue cess: ''The Kreutzer Sonata"~ will be given This play 1t will be recalled | was the sensation of the dramatic sea-
 son in New York last year. and at
 the same time was being presented in
 rival theatres by Blanche Walsh and
 Bertha Kalich- In order to secure this
 play for her repertoire, Miss DeLacy
 was compelled to buy outright the en-
 tire Kalich production. It is a tragic | tale of a girls rescue of her younger
 sister and affords an opportunity of a display Of Miss DeLacy's greatest ability. Tomorrow night and again

 drama win be the offering. Miss De Lacy assumes the role which was

BARNES PLANS
 CHANGE IN FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

Supt. W. A. Barnes of the Fire Alarm Telegraph system will recommend a new manual system for the city in his next report The present automatic system is overloaded. Under the man. ual system all. alarms would go into headquarters and be retransmitted to the other stations. Operators would be on hand night and day to receive and send out the alarms. Under the present system only one alarm can be sent in at a time. while under the pro- posed system several alarms could be received at one time.
 Despite the excellent service of the automatic system the superintendent believes the lines are overloaded and that it will not be long before 1t will be impossible to increase the size of the automatic feature of the system further without impairing the clements of safety and protection

Does Phrase Residential Section" In.

CHartford Courant. Nov. s)

AOuIdnAs NOh. 6-l
 According to the Bridgeport papers Judge Foster of that ctiy has set up a curious and interesting contention, to the effect that a residential sec tion'' of a city does not mean a place where there are tenements. but re- fers only to the section devoted to ornate residences. The license law stands in the way of licensing saloons in residential districts so that now. when a saloonkeeper wants to start torney holds that, that Is not resi- dential part of the city.
 The dictionary tells US that residen- tial signifies pertaining to residence or residents, and that residence is where a person resides, a dwelling. a habitation. If d tenement, housing. say. half a dozen families, does not come under the head of being where a person resides, or dwells, or has a habitation, then, pray how can it be described? It strikes us that there is no more positively residential sec ton" than that where the tenements swarm with residents
 The county commissioners at last reports had not decided the judges momentous question whether a poor resident is really a resident. for that is what the thing sifts down to. or whether residences are only for the wealthy. Another question of at least equal social importance you'd be whether there are more homes in pro- portion to the population in the re sidential district" that is described by the attorney who thinks exciusiveness makes residences. or among the peo- pie who cannot afford to live in such luxury

Now that the railroad clerks on the New Haven system have settled mat ters with the management of the New Haven road, 1t appears that other rail- road labor differences are likely to fol- low on the big system here in com paratively rapid succession
 General Chairman James A. Mur- dock of Cleveland. of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen, arrived in tered at the Hotel Garde, where he had a conference with National Qm- cer Berry of the Order of Railway Conductors, who came to that city on his way to Toronto. Can After long conversation, NIT. Berry continued on his way. being escorted to the train by Mir. Murdock.
 Later in the day MT. Murdock. was visited at the hotel by Deputy Presi- dent J. J. Forester of the Brother in New Haven perfecting the settle ment of the details Of the labor diff culty through which he has already gone with the road V1ce-President J. F. Reilly of Kansas City of the Broth erhood, who has been assisting MT. Forester. was also present at this latter conference None of the parties to the conference would reveal what the subject of it was It was also stated at the hotel that the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers are to hold a meeting in New Haven shortly in connection with la Dor matters. One of the members of the national committee was in the Elm city last night. b. MT. Murdock and MT Berry were instrumental in bringing about a set clement of labor troubles between the trainmen and the New Haven road last winter.
 He said last night that his visit in this section was preliminary to the | taking up of the matter of estab- | fishing a uniform rate of compensa- ton for trainmen throughout the coun- | try, and that this was a matter which
 would be taken up on all of the sys- tems east of the Mississippi and Chi cago early in January. This matter Is one that the B. R. T. has been con sidering for some time and the under
 taking will now be carried through at once as 1t involves welfare of from 53.Oo0 to 600O0 trainmen-
 It is found that the workmen in the eastern district. so-called are not re- ceiving the equivalent of the treatment
 that is vouchsafed them on the roads
 of the great west. MT. Murdock will take the matter up, as applied to the
