they would blow up the train With

The very remarkable work OF the
boys In the use OF tools WAS generally
commented upon. The basement OF
the high school building really looks
more like high grade furniture stor
than a school exhibit. There were
chairs OF all kinds, both plain and
upholstered. tables OF all shapes and
sizes. cabinets. benches. chests, and
dozens Of smaller articles OF every
description. All Of them are finish
ed off down to the smallest detail In
true workmanship style. Each artl.
Gle WAS labeled with the name OF
the maker The pupil furnishes his
own material and retains the finish ID
article. The high class OF work fin.

Itself ~ to the interest manifested
by the boys OF the different grades.

OF Mr.. Trueblood. and much credit
Is due him for Its unbounded success.

Stops Itching Immediately, Soothes
 and Comforts the Little Ones
 A demonstration of the efficacy and entire harmlessness of poslam, the new skin discovery, is afforded when it is applied to the tender skin of. infants who are tortured with rashes, ,chafings, scaly and crusted humorS and other skin aggravations. Its effect is sooth- ing, the itching stops at once, the skin heals and is quickly restored to nor nal condition.
 In the various forms of skin trou- bles in both infants and adults, pos lam produces beneficial results from the first application. Eczema, acne, herpes, rash, letter, etc. yield readily to its remarkable curative properties. Occasional applications will quickly banish pimples, blotches and com plexion blemishes and will relieve and cure itching feet, scaly scalp, humors, etc.
 Poslam can be had for ifty-cents at and reliable druggists. particularly Jennie Hami1ton's Pharmacy. Or the Emergency Laboratories; No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it. This is sufficient to show results in 24 hours.

The most favorable comment upon the bill providing for the creation of . public utilities commission and de- lining it's Jurisdiction and powers, comes from Ex-Gov. Woodruff who calls it "a step in the right direction '' It is an accurate description. The bfn is "a step," and very little more, but it can be amended by the next General Assembly. provided the peo- pie do not again allow the public ser vice corporations to pack that body.
 Much, very much, depends upon the men appointed to the commission by the Governor with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, the House having no voice in the matter. We are not inclined to believe that the commis- sioners will be selected with any ex- cessive regard for the peoples inter ests, for Gov. weeks is said to be at heart .

 Possibly these conditions will aid the enactment of the bill which is ia step in the right direction" though a short one-that is, they may lessen the opposition of the corporations which appear to be in control of the Senate and perhaps also of the House.

Ex-President Roosevelt still enter tains decided opinions as to "the mal- efactors of great wealth. In a sign ed editorial appearing in the "Out- look,'' he says:
 The multi-millionaire is not per SC a healthy development in this coun- try.

Gov. Browns Son
 Answers Wife's Suit

Baltimore, July 2O.-Without denying or admitting the Allegations set forth in his wife's suit for divorce, young Frank Brown, son of ex-Gov. Brown, has filed an answer to the suit. The answer indicates that young Brown will not contest the divorce suit. The paper, which is one of the shortest of its kind placed on record in the Court House for many years, is as follows:
 That without admitting or denying the allegations set forth in the bill of divorce, I leave the plaintiff to adduce such evidence and support thereof as she may be advised is necessary and proper"
 The divorce suit, which was brought recently against young Brown by his wife, who was Miss Mabel Michaels. created considerable comment by req son of the many allegations of cruelty and neglect which was set forth in the bill of complaint.

 The horse ridden by John Swiftwind, who is the educated Indian in "In the Northern Lights" slipped during the performance, yesterday afternoon, fell oyer the footlights and for a moment it looked as if there might be panic. But John Ince, the leading man of the Poli Company, who plays the part of Swiftwind, with unusual presence of mind retained his hold upon the bridle and prevented the animal from run ming amuck in the aisles of the thea ire. There was a mild panic among the audience, during which several purses were lost. The ushers threw the exits open and then turned their at- tention to quieting the women. The animal is owned by Dr. Atkins and it had been educated to stage work. The play will be given for the balance of the week without the horse.

STUDYING HEARTS
 OF YALE STUDENTS

PROF. ANDERSON OF GYM CON
 DUCTS EXPERIMENTS IN MEX
 ICAN MOUNTAINS TO DEFER
 MINE THE VALUE OF OXYGEN
 IN DIFFICULT BREATHING AND
 ATHLETICS.
 New Haven, Conn, July 20.-Impor- tant discoveries relating to the effect of athletics on the heart are certain when the report of Prof. William G. Anderson, Director of the Yale gym naSium, is announced.
 It is learned that pr. Anderson shas been secretly at work on a series of experiments for two years along nov ell lines. They were taken up follow ing Yale's unfortunate experiences in rowing, in which two oarSmen of diff ferent crews collapsed during the four mile race with Harvard because of heart failure. Orders were issued to conduct physical examinations of Yale take part in any branch of Yale ath- leticS.
 In connection with the rigid examin- ations Prof. Anderson began his ex- periments on the effect of exertion on the heart. More than 600 have been held and they have been projected into comparison of the hearts of stu dents who keep out of athletics with those who go into sports, into the eff feet of the different sports, and the
 
 who come to Yale from preparatory schools where athletics are allowed, compared with the condition of the hearts of students coming from schools where athletics are tabood.
 The effect of oxygen on hearts dur ing a season of exertion or in high all titudes has been carefully studied, a trip having been taken to old Mexico for the purpose of conducting the in vestigations along these lines. Joel Ellis Fisher of New York Citv a Yale junior. provided funds for the expedi- tion, and the two high volcanic noun tains, Popocatepeti and Iztaccihuati, were climbed, and a series of elabo- rate tests with oxygen conducted dur ing the Journey.
 It was intended to keep all informa- tion of the experiments a secret till October, when the report of the ex- periments will be made, but the facts announced are vouched for by Prof. Anderson His report is likely to prove the basis of some radical rec concentrations in college sport.

That many of the S47 Senate tariff amendments will, if adopted by the Conference committee. increase the cost of living, seems to be conceded fact by all except those who would benefit by increased duties Now, we are told by a political economist that over-production of gold will also in crease the cost of living within the next ten years. If this be true, there is the more reason for rejection of the dufy-increases in the Senate bill, for there are limits to the purchasing ability of the so-called "common peo- pie"
