Washington, April 17.-Three new
warships, the swiftest of their class
IN the world, are to convey the Liber-
ian Commission to Africa. This was
announced today, and the declaration
that fleet was 20 transport a COM
paratiyely unimportant commission to
its destination occasioned surprise in
uniformed quarters. To all ques-
lions the State Department returned
suave and diplomatic answers and at
the Navy Department it was said the
occasion was seized upon as a good
opportunity in which to give the three
vessels their endurance tests. The
fact that there are two white and one
negro commissioner, however, may
have had bearing on the matter.
The commission consists of w.
Morgan Shuster, former collector of
customs in the Philippines; George
Sale of Georgia, and Emmett J. Scott,
the colored private secretary to Book
err Washington. George A. Finch of
the Department of State is secretary
to the commission, and he will be as
sisted by Frank A. Flower, a student
of African affairs. Capt s. A. Clio

ent Military Attache of the London
Embassy, with Major p. NJ. Ashburn
of the Medical Corps of the Army will
also be attaches. The commission
will sail from Hampton Roads OH

When the commission was first

London on one of the transatlantic
lines and there take a regular line for

early this week, however, to send the
commission and its attaches abroad

swiftest vessel OF its class in any

BURNS WILL BE FATAL
Montpelier Woman's Skirt Caught
From Bonfire.

Montpelier, April 17-Mrs. Kate
Jones, wife of Joseph Jones, was seri-
ously, if not fatally, burned yesterday
morning. She was burning rubbish in
a bonfire and the skirt of a loose
wrapper which she wore, was blown
into the flames. All her clothing was
burned from her body and she suf
fered severe burns on both her hips
and her back Her hair was tied in a
cloth which saved her head from seri-
Gus burns.
After the accident Mrs. Jones ran
to the home of neighbor who at
tempted to extinguish the flames by
wrapping the woman in rug but
failed. Other neighbors arrived and
by beating the fire with their hands
succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
Two women, Mrs. Margaret Roach
and Mrs. Eta Hill suffered severe
burns on their hands.
Mrs. Jones remained conscious
throughout and was taken to her
home but probably can not recover.
She is about As years old.

and quiet. but emphatic, protests were
made against the plan. So mistakenly
were these protests pressed that the
State Department is reported TO have
appealed to the Navy Department with
the result that the two sister ships OF
the Chester. the Birmingham and the
Salem, were also placed at the dis
posal of the commission.
Although it is denied that the sud
den upheaval in the commission had
anything to do with the necessity of
Mr.. Scott being on the same ship with
the white commissioners and attach
es, 1t is pointed out that Mr.. Sale is
Southerner. as is Mr.. Shurster.

NOMEN'S WOES
Bennington Women are Finding Re-
lief at Last.


II does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the pains and
aches that afIiict humanity; they must
keep up" must attend TO duties in
spite of Constantly aching backs or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture: They must
walk and bend and work with racking
pains and many aches from kidney ills
Kidneys cause more suffering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys well and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures the
kidneys and is endorsed by people
you know.
Mrs. b. ID. Lamreaux, living at 222
Division street, Bennington VT, says:
About four years ago | was in such
misery as result of kidney complaint
that | could hardly do my homework.
| suffered from terrible backaches and
headaches, and at times became SO
dizzy that | could not see. The kid
ney secretions were too frequent in
action and the passage painful. See
ing Doan's Kidney Pills highly rec
commended for such troubles, procur-
ed box and began their use. They
proved to be just what my system re-
quired and in short time the back
ache left me. After taking the con-
tents of two boxes of this remedy, all
symptoms of my trouble disappeared
and there was no return of them
since. Doan's Kidney Pills have my
highest endorsement. Statement Civ

Work that Tells.
In a statement given August 4, 1908
Mrs. Lamreaux confirms the above
statement by saying: Il am as firm a
believer in the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills tody as when / gave testi-
monial in their favor in 1905. They
have never failed to bring relief when

Barney's
COMPOUND

IS another preparation for stomach
troubles. 1t is impossible for one remedy
to cure all forms of dyspepsia, for the
reason that some people have too much
acid in their stomachs, while others do
not have enough. 1t is a physical im-
possibility for the same remedy to re-
lieve both of those conditions.
Barney's Compound is especially rec
commended where there is an excess of
acid, and where catarrhal conditions
exist. For that soreness of the stomach

Mr.. BRYAN AS SENATOR

Regardless of any political differ.
ences the World wishes Mr.. Bryan
well in his candidacy for United
States Senator from Nebraska to sue
coed Mr.. Burkett, whose term expires
in 1901. We say this without modi-
flying in any way our opposition to
many of the policies that he has adj
vocated, or our dissent from many of
the principles that he holds.
Mr. Bryan would make a good SEN
atOr. He would try to represent the
people, not the corporations, and he
would bring qualities of a very high
order TO the upper house of Congress.
He is an excellent debater, able. elo-
quent and resourceful, and would rem
der a far greater service to his party
on the floor of the senate than he
ever can as a candidate for president.
Nebraska could not make a better
choice, and if the new primary sys-
tenn of that state enables Mr.. Bryan
to become a United States Senator
We shall consider his election a great
triumph for the principle of direct

A FAMOUS COLLEGE ATHLETE
WHO HAS "DELVERED THE

The spirit of college athletics is
typified in the career of such a man
as Joseph r. Parrot, the single
handed manager of the interests OF
Henry NJ. Flagler, on the east coast
of Florida, writes Ralph D. Payne, in
Recreation for June Parrott rowed
four years on the Yale crew in the
eighties and swears to this day that
the experience was an invaluable ed
ucation in itself. He has spent
thirty million dollars of Mr.. Flagler's
money in building a railroad from
Jacksonville to Key West and in
creating magnificent system of win
ter resorts and hotels from st. Au-
gustine to Miami. This work he has
wrought with no more oversight than
the order to extend the railroad over
the ocean to Key West, at a cost of
thirty million dollars more and other
commands Of like simplicity and di-
rectnes". Responsible to no board of
directors, trusted to do things be-
cause he knows how to get results, a
viceroy implicitly relied upon, Joseph
R. Parrott is one of the most infiu-
entail men in the south today. And
he has won his position and the vast
responsibility by virtue of the spirit of
the clean-handed, stout hearted
sportsman, which Theodore ROose-
welt focused in that phrase that he
has lived and preached, 1.-The square

A WORD ABOUT eoNDoLAs

Editor Harris of the Ocala Banner
is advocating the purchase of Condo
las for Silver Springs. but just how
many is not stated. Gondolas are ex-
pensive affairs, and Marion county,
with many improvements in view,
should not be urged into too heavy
expense for these purely sentimental
means of water locomotion. Instead
We would recommend the plan of the
New York alderman. Perhaps Editor
Harris knows the story. It's old-a
good deal Of a chestnut-but ii is
apropos. A resolution had been in
troduced in the New York City coun-
Gil for the purchase Of twenty Condo
las for a park lake and was about to
pass when a new alderman arose and
said; "Mr. President, l was elictid to
this ASSEMBLY,, sur. on a platfor-um
