Worcester, Mass, May 1.-Two
years of no license became past his
tory today when Worcester saloons
opened for business. Figures comput-
ed by the police, however, show that
Worcester, which has been the largest
no license city in the world, has not
been completely dry" during the
fourteen months that the saloons were
closed. The police figures, based up
Oh record of liquor shipments into
that city by the various express COM
panies, Indicate that during two years
of drought" Worcester people paid
for liquor 1899, 629 on legal Shipments
protected by the Federal interstate
commerce law. How great quantity
of alcoholic beverages came into the
city through underground channels
will never be known. The re cord OF
express shipments, however, shows
that during the two years of no Ii
cense there was brought into Wor-
cester the grand total of 2, 1877, sol gal
Ions of beer and ale and 1902, 296 gal
Ions of whiskey.

Bladder troubles almost always result

Alabama Democrats held an election
Tuesday. The contest was over prohi-

was defeated by majority of from 20
to 5000. The fight there was inter

The other was as to whether the con

Statewide prohibition amendment
added. The amendment was defeated
by about the same majority us the ma

Daring Burglary

Washington, May "A daring bur-
glar, early Sunday morning entered a
room in the New Willard Hotel occu-
pied by Col. D. G. Collier, director
general of the Panama California
Exposition, and r. E. Connolly, di-
rector of publicity, and after stealing
several hundred dollars narrowly
avoided capture when Mr.. Connolly,
who was suddenly awakened from
his sleep, sprang from his bed and
attempted to capture the marauder.
When Mr.. Connolly sprang toward
the man, who was crouching near the
bed railing the pockets of Col. Col
ier's trousers he emitted cry which
aroused the colonel, and so startled
the burglar that the latter dropped
the garment and fled from the room.
When Col Collier and Mr.. Connolly
rushed into the hallway a few NOM
ents later, the man had disappeared.
He has not been caught.

Alabama For Option

Montgomery, Ala, May 3.-Unoffi-
cial returns indicate that Emmett A.
O'Neal, of Florence, and E. P. Thorn
as, of Eufaula, were nominated in a
primary election yesterday by the DEM
ocrats of Alabama to be governor and
Lieutenant governor, respectively, of
the state. O'Neal made the race on
the local option platform. He was
one of the most active opponents to
the state wide prohibition amendment
in the campaign.
Not in recent years has there been
such a. large ballot at the polls, and
fnll returns may not be received I'M
til late tomorrow. Enough is known,
however, to warrant the assertion that
O'Neal's majority over H. S. D. Nal
Tory, of Selma, will not run lower
than 10000. Indications are that
Thomas defeated his opponent, W. D.
Seed, of Tuscaloosa, by majority
even larger than that given O'Neal.
Early returns indicate the nomina.
ton of the following Cyrus B.
Brown, for secretary of state; G B.
Smith, for state auditor; G. Brickell
for attorney general Reuben F. Kelb,
for commissioner of agriculture; J.

THE FADING LINE.

The reunion of Confederate veter-
ans has ended at Mobile. Thousands
of the worn and tired men in
gray made their last march on that
occasion. The gray line is fading
away, and fewer each year ga ther.
To those who went through the great
struggle which they endured, and
which more than the hosts OF the
north made their country famous as
men of valor and loyalty to prin-
ciple, the fading OF these lines is
sad in the extreme. Never again will
a conflict involving the same prin-
ciples be waged here, others may
come, but none will have issues SO
near and dear to those who became
participants. No cause will ever
be marked. with more heroism or
have to stay and support it, Drawer
men or more heroic women. Ina lit
tie while and all will have departed.

fought and the lines over which they
marched will in a few years seq no

Of our beloved Southland who revere
the memories of their fathers and

Their silent tents are spread;
And glory guards with solemn
round,
The bivouac of the dead. :"

Is CLAWS A LlLR !?

Mr.. Ballinger has not helped his
cause in public opinion by his impas-
stoned statements and his loss of tenn
per. A man is not liar always, when
called liar. The real liar is the man
who is detected, who has the cloven
foot proven on him. 1t is easy for a
man to go on the witness stand and de-
nounce the other fellow-heap the lie
in his face-but that cuts no ice, unless
there is proof that he who denounces
the other as a liar is not one himself.
CLAWS may be most monstrous liar.
He may have told them by the
cart load. The principle of falsus in
uno, falsus in omnibus, may be ap-
piled with tbs utmost rigor. Still it
would have helped Mr.. Ballinger more
had he contented himself with proving
what an enormous liar CLAWS is, than
by iterating and reiterating it. Then,
too, Mr.. Baflinger would have been
looked on as man of more dignity,
better poise, more nearly approaching
the size men should be when holding
positions in presidential cabinet. As
it is he has shrivelled in public opin-
ion. He has the administration at his
back and possibly majority of the
committee. He must, however, have
truth at his back. 1t looks now to
man up a tree, that there must be
in the Pinchot-Glavis charg-
es when a person of Mr.. Ballinger's
sense SO loses his temper.

DEMOCRATIC PABULTM.

It is now but five whole days b.
fore the primary ordered by the City
Democratic Committee takes place. 1t
is an indisputable fact that up to this
time persons who desire to try their
fortunes in that election, are not as the
sands upon the seashore. There are
lots of good men in Staunton who can
fill every position with credit, both to
the city and to themselves, but there
is hesitency in their movements, and a
well defined and most natural indispo-
sition to sacrifice themselves tor the
public good, or on the political altar.
Some openly assert that conditions are
so mixed that they do not care to wor-
ry through them, to nomination, or
take chances of defeat after being NOM
mated. Then, too, with manv Demo-
Gratis there is feeling amounting al
most to disgust brought about by many
who have become appointment" and
are attempting TO dictate, or if not ex-
actly dictate, are loudest in their flag
floating and drum beating for the par
ty; that is.are doing the sound and
symphony stunt, If nothing more.
Many of these great and good men
have not been Irregular" anywhere or
at any times Some have been on both
sides of the liquor question inside of
four years. I Others have been in and
out of theYDemocratic party as often as
the little cuckoo on the grandfather's
clock. Some who are most vociterous
in preaching regularity have not voted
the National Democratic ticket, more
than once possibly, since 1896, and
some loud in condemning others may
have been regular" but they were
sulkers in the national elections. Such
regularity" has not inspired conf
dence, nor given strength to what is
known las the Democratic cause in
Staunton. We have told them, and
especially the leaders, of what they
have brought about, and yet they seem
to he bent ON rule or ruin. If they in
itiate more of such dispensers of Dem
ocratic pabulum and let them ladle it
out as it is now being ladled out, they
may see the most remarkable upheaval
here that has taken place in years.
Our city council has long had men in
it, out of touch with the Democratic
party, under so called Democratic
regime. The present conduct of affairs
may see. it with even more of the same
kind there.
The object Governor Mann and Nh.
Byrd had in making the change pro.
posed as to he $4,000 appropriated TO,

cumvent that provision which would
not permit him as speaker Of the

THE INJURED LAIRD.

Mr.. Carnegie has at last grown mad
at Pittsburg He had big day arrang-
ed for last Saturday. 1t was Found
ers' Day, and President Taft was on
the mental bill of fare, to be seen at
least if not heard. Secretary Knox had
gone over from Washington also to be
present, and Phi. u. Is and L. l.. D. IS,
D. D. IS and others with nearly all the
letters of the alphabet appended to
their names were there to do honor to
the stunt the Laid of Skibo was pulling
of. This is the same Mr.. Carnegie
who is building Peace Palace at The
Hague, the same who has given the
following hunks OF money for the fol-
lowing purposes:
He gave S., 600, 600 in pensions to old
Carnegie employees.
He gave Allegheny, part OF Pitts
burg, $500, 600 for library.
Founded the Carnegie Library al
Pittsburg, at cost of 81, OOO, OOO.
Gave 81, 100000 more to library In
1899.
AS Christmas present increased the
wages of 10000 employees OF the Car
negie steel mills in 1899.
Gave $4,000 to Pittsburg Observa-
tory.

But on the same occasion the Pitts
burg Chicago base ball teams were
present and game was to be played.
Hans Wagner, the mighty man with
the bat and the sphere, is on the Pitts
burg team and the people literally
walked over Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Carnegie
and Foundation Day exercises, to see
the game. Hans Wagner has done
little too for Pittsburg. Look at his
score of bene6ces:
He broke the worlds record throw
ing baseball.
Led the National League in batting,
stolen bases and single, double and
triple hits.
In seventy-four games, made ITO hits
and scord sixty runs.
Holds the record for successive hits
in single game.
Premier batter of the National Lea
que.
Is still playing ball.
Even MIR. Taft could not hold
crowd, when it was known that Hans
was to WELD the willow and toy with
the sphere. The crowds left and pour
ed out upon the ball tield.
On yesterday the Foundation Day
exercises were set for the morning in
stead of the afternoon, SO that they
would not bump into Hans Wagner's
Foundation, and Mr.. Carnegie is deep
4y and sorely offended. He has openly
announced that he has closed his purse
to Pittsburg, and as strange as it may
seem the fans have not wept, nor have
they shown any signs of sadness.
