Insuring Alveolar
Teeth

The patient who comes here for den-
tistry takes no chance.
We do not ask him to assume any
risks as to whether or not our work is
going to prove successful.
Every piece of work we do is backed
by our positive guarantee that it will
stand the test of wear and time and
be in every way satisfactory.
If at any time any of our work needs
adjustment we do the readjusting with
out charge TO the patient. regardless
of what caused the trouble.
This is insurance that insures.
The private practitioner offers his
patients his best services and does
their work to the best of his ability.
or if for any cause 1t goes wrong, and
his patient returns to make over or re-
pair he charges the patient the same
as for new work. on the theory that
dentistry is not an exact science and
the dentist no more than the physician
can tell what the result of his work
NAV be- so that If the private Practi-
TONER'S work goes wrong he is not the
sufferer but, indeed, Is rather benel-
ciary.
With us. before starting a case. we
explain TO the patient exactly what
work we are going to do and exactly
what the expenses will be. We then
do the work to the best of our ability,
and 1T is to our interest to do 1t in the
very best most permanent manner, as
should anything happen to the work
we repair it at our expense, and we,
therefore. are the loser.

BEAUTIFUL CALENDAR.

It is the custom for business con-
Germs to offer to their patrons every
YEAR a calendar, and the consequence
is that the concern is kept before the
public every time the calendar is con-
suited. Then, too, it is serviceable,
Offering information not gained else
where. The most unique calendar
ever offered to the Nashville public is
the one put out by Mr.. w. H. Nc
Gavock and Company, Undertakes
and Professional Embalmers. There
ere pictures of one hundred and eigh-
teen children on this calendar ranging
in ages from six months to eleven
years. They come from the most rep.
resentative families in this great city.
It will be cherished as a new move
and will be looked upon in years to
come as a historical feat. Babies OF
today twenty years hence will look
back to this splendid move on the
part of Mr.. McGavock, the manager
of the concern, as a new epoch in his
tory. In fact, the calendar itself, con-
tanning the likenesses of these chill
dren puts them from now on in the
public's eye and each face represent
ed on it can have none other than a
glorious future brought on by an early
ambition which must be inspired by
such an undertaking. The supply
was limited, and Mr., McGavock has
not been able to even satisfy his
friends and many patrons.

PUBLIC MONEY FILCHED.

Speaking of the reply of the Presi-
dent and of the Secretary of War to a
Senate resolution calling for informa-
ton on the detectives investigation
into the Brownsville affair, Mr.. Fo-
raker said:
ct does not lessen the gravity of
his offense that it appears to be i'm
perceptible to him; or, if not so, that
he has become utterly oblivious to all
the restraints of law, decency and pro-
priety in his mad pursuit of these
HELPLESS victims of his ill-considered
action. Moreover. shall be able to
show. think, that all this has been
done without authority of law and

sought for, and that the so-called con-
fessiOns' are not confined to such as
affect the parties making them or to
those affected by them who may be
present when such confessions are
made, but who are absent and with
out knowledge of what is transpiring
and without any opportunity what
ever to be heard in their own defense
-even to make an objection that such
statements and such confessions are
untruthful.
CHOSE facts make all such testi-
mony utterly incompetent and worth
less"
| Mr.. Foraker presented letters from
various men concerned in the alleged
confessions on the shooting up of
Brownsville denying in detail various
statements made by the detectives.
CONGRESS- INTENT.
Going back to the intent of Con-
gress in legislating against the en-
ploying of Pinkerton detectives, Mr.
Lodge said it grew out of the armed
conflict between hundreds of Pinl1er-
ton detectives and strikers at Home
stead during the great strike there
many years ago.
Mr.. Foraker replied briefly to Mr.
Lodge by saying that if Congress had
intended to prohibit the employment
Of armed detectives only they would
have specified in the statute. This re-
striction was not inserted, he said,
although in debate it was discussed.
Mr. Foraker then asked that date
be fixed to vote on his bill providing
for the re-enlistment of the discharged
soldiers.
Senator Clapp said he wished to
vote for Mr.. Foraker's bill, but wished
it understood that that action had no
connection with the propositions dis
cussed to-day.
Senator Warren as Chairman Of the
Committee on Military Affairs, said
he could not agree upon time to-day
to vote on the bill, in view of the alb
sence of Senator Frazier, of Tennes-
see, from the city, as Mr.. Frazier
wished to speak on the measure. The
objection had the effect of postponing
action,

SPORT.

One would not think that the sport
ing public of America was so untrue
to it's noble sons, yet it seems to be
the case. and there is no use of try
ing to get around the facts. When
Burns was going around the world
as the champion heavyweight, he was
not a genuine American, and yet he
received all the praise and honor that
could be heaped urOu him. There was
no cry about his nationality He had
no one saying he should not have the
title. or that it was disgrace upon
the game, and sporting papers all
over this country were trying to show
that he was an American and that
America still held the heavyweight IT,
tie when. as a matter Of fact, he is
a French Canadian and has made no
effort to conceal the matter, still they
keep bowling that the ex-champion is
an American.
It is true that the American fighter
has held his own, is game and mas
a record to be proud of, yet the public
behind him is making him a thing to
be detested among the fighters of 9th
err nations. The sporting public OF
America should be proud of her fight
ers and when she has one of ability
he should be given credit for what he
has done. Now Johnson is an Ameri-
can citizen, born and reared on Amer
lean soil and does not claim to be any
thing else, and we do know that he
IS proud of this fact. That he is a
fighter of ability cannot be denied.
Now, why was his victory over Burns
not an American triumph? 1t was a
fight of the American VS.. the French
Canadian. The American won and this
fact alone should be a pleasure to all
America. Yet it is not so. He is re-
ceiving all kinds of criticism and some
of the best fighters America has pro-
duced are making themselves famous
by declaring that JOhnson's winning
the title is a disgrace to the game; yet
none of them can truthfully say that
he is not a great fighter and that he
did not win his title fair by defeating
Burns at every stage of the game. A
a fighter and champion Of his class
Johnson should have better treatmen
at the hands of the American sport
ing public. The fact that he is al
American citizen should bring mucl
credit home to America and he shoult
he received with oDen arms rs tn
best man Of the day.
Now all this talk is only showin
the true colors of the men doing il
and it is only serving to advertise tn

"This re-enactment was in 1898, and
reads as follows:
THAT hereafter, no employe OF the
Pinkerton Detective Agency, or SINH
lar agency, shall be employed in any
Government service or by any officer
of the District of Columbia"
"This statute is still in force and
effect. unrepealed and unqualified. 1t
was in full force and effect at the
time when these contracts with
Browne and Baldwin were made by
the Secretary of War
"In view of these statutes, all these
payments are clearly illegal, not only
without warrant or authority of law
but in plain violation thereof"
Speaking of the use Of private de-
tectives in investigating the Browns
Vile affair Mr.. Foraker declared that
at is impossible to find language
with which to fittingly characterize
such procedure as this detective
business has been from its incipiency
down to the monstrous stages it has
reached. 1t is atrociOus, revolving
shocking to every sense of fairness
