DRY LEADER GOES
AFTER MUSSELMAN
Says He Is Playing to "Drys" Solely
for Political Effect Upon His
Candidacy for Governor.

Fred w. Corbett of Lansing, the
prohibition candidate for governor,
opens his campaign with a scathing
attack on Amos s. Musselman, candi
date for the Republican nomination.
Corbott spoke at Flint recently and
devoted his oratorical efforts to an ar
raignment of Musselman and his stand
on the temperance question.
"Musselman Is simply attempting to
becloud the issue in order to poll the
temperance vote" declared Corbett.
What can Musselman's position on
the liquor traffic be? In his booklet
under the title local option he makes
a proposition. He declares he would
sign a resolution for the submission of
statewide prohibition to the people.
II Mr.. Musselman Is at all familiar
with the duties of the office he is So
anxious to fill he knows that the sub
mission of statewide prohibition can
only come through an act of the legis-
lature and made directly to the peo-
pie; the act will not have to have the
signature of the governor.

statewide prohibition at the present

and he refuses to do what he can.
"Mr. Musselman also comes out

each county exercising home rule and
settling the matter for itself. The

only persons competent to direct at
fairs here were the white people. In
order to govern the territory therefore
after annexation the natives had to be
managed. The easiest way to direct
them was to control elections and that
was best done by ''wise' use of

Consequences of the Error.
The consequence is that II would be
hard to find in America a more de-
bauched electorate than here. In the
recent plebiscite the highest represent
atives of Hawaiian manhood. anxious to
carry the Territory for prohibition be-
cause of their devotion to their race,
demanded Of the temperance campaign

took their breath away. 1t was decided

campaign should be run honestly. |
doubt whether since annexation a
squarer contest has been conducted
here. 1t spelled defeat of course.
Cost of an Election.
Mr. Herbert Parsons in a recent Out
look concluded that the legitimate ex-
pense of a campaign in New York
county should run from a minimum of
$4,000 to $20S,000 Take the larger
sum and double it for the two great
parties. This gives $4,000 honestly
to run a campaign in a community of
345,6S1 voters-the total vote Of New
York county in 190S-according to the
world Almanac, per capita cost of
Sl.2G, or sixty cents for each party
Last July 9113 votes We're east in our
pleblscIte. The liquor men. according
to very conservative estimate spent
over $4,000 to carry it. Cut this esti-
mate down to between 5000 and $40,-
900, sum which one Of their number
has admitted was expended by them
and that is more than 81 for every
voter participating. At the recent No
vember election it cost the two par
ties according to an uncOntradicted pub
Hshed estimate, upwards of $4,000 to
finance the campaign. This divided by
the total vote for delegate gives about
50 per capita. At this rate an elec-
ton in New York county would cost
the two leading parties more than one
million seYen hundred thousand dol
lars.
Even the best Hawaiians have been
trained to regard an election as an op-
portunity for graft, and congress by
refusing to make the franchise here an
incentive to character building, or, in
other words, by giving the franchise a
money value, instead of character
value, has debaIched the entire people.
1t should be clearly borne in mind that
the fault for the state of things here
is with congress, and not with the

HaWaiians Decreasing.

One more statement in his interview
deserves notice. Mr. Castle is quoted
as saying: ~ have failed to find any
signs of decrease among the native
population recently. They have been
decreasing for years. but the ratio of
decrease has been growing less every
year for the past twenty-five, and has
now practically ceased. Such state
mcut can only be accounted for on the
supposition that Mr.. Castle classes
among the natives the part Hawaiians.
II he did this. it was entirely gratui-
tou~, because the remarks TO which he
objected had no reference to the mixed
race. This is a distinct stock of group

AMERICANS TOO CLEVER.
Many Dangers Besetting the Country As
cTite6 to That Fact

Americans are cverstocked with clev-
erness, while they have a tendency to a
shortage on honesty, according to Rev.
Or. Eugene A. Noble, president Of
Goucher college, Baltimore. In his bac-
caiaureate sermon to the young women
graduates he called attention to the fact
that many Of the dangers which beset
the land were due to excessive cleverness,
coupled with little enlightened response
bl-ty IN industrial and political affairs.
Unless there was a high sense of honor
among the leaders Of the nation indus
trial and political eminence could not
continue. He poinSed out that one of the
encouraging aspects of American life
was the larger recognition given to wom-
en- and the wider exercise of powers by
them. Instead of being the occasion for
scorn, it was an opportunity for the in
PRODUCTION of finer moral perceptions into
American life, as larger field was given

FATIGUE A SMALL DRAWBACK.
Seasoned Soldiers Shot Nearly as Well
After Hard Drill as Before.

Some interesting experiments were re-
Gently conducted by the Austrian mill
tary authorities with a view to testing
the effect of the fatigue of long march
on the shooting of trained soldiers, says
the Army and Navy Gazette.
Fifty cyclists Of over two years serv-
ice undertook a march of sixty-five miles
in eight hours, the return journey being
against strong head wind. Before and
after the march they fired ten rounds at
a target representing a section of tweny
six men, in extended order, lying down
at 500 yards.
The experiment was repeated with a
section of fortytwO nOn-cOmmiSsionedOf Of
fcers of the school of musketry before
and after a twenty-three hours exercise
in the field during which thirty-three
miles were covered This section, chief
ly marksmen, made eighty-one hits
on twenty-one out of twenty SIX
figures before starting, and sixty
two hits on twenty figures after
their return. The men, though much
fatigued when firing their second series
of shots, made nearly as good practice
as when fresh before starting.
These results are valuable as showing
that skill of seasoned soldiers who are
at the same time first rate shots, does
not degenerate much with fatigue.

that these clubs have turned Canastota

NEW KIND OF WATER WITCH.
Government Expert Who Can Locate
Water at Great Depths.

\. II. barton is government geolo-
gist who does surprising stunts in the
way of finding water. The geological
survey has carried on extensive investi-
cations of underground waters. which
make Mr.. DartOn's phophesies possible
One Of his most notable successes was
a we'll at Edgemont, S. D. Mr. barton
predicted that water should be expected
III the Deadwood sandstone about 5000
feet below the surface.
Accordingly the boring was begun. but
meeting with many difficulties which
caused great delay and expense there
was a disposition to abandon the work
The engineers in charge, having con-
fdence in Mr.. Darton's prediction, urged
a continuance of the boring, and accord
ing to the National Geographical Maya
zine their faith was finally rewarded by
striking a great flow Of water at depth
of 2695 feet
The well yields 100000 gallons a day
tive and other uses and as there is not
good water within sixty miles and much
of the supply had to be hauled in tank
cars the value of this flow is inestima-
BILE.
In the same general section Of South
Dakota as well as in other western
states, many other wells from 1895 to
2l35 feet deep have closely verified Mr..
Darton's predictions and are furnishing
a supply of excellent water. 1t is diff
cult to estimate the money value of a
successful artesian well in an arid re-
glOn, but where it obviates the need
OF long haulage $4,000 to 100000 is a
moderate figure.

DECLARED INVALID.
Clause in Hewitt Will Providing for Tn
born Heirs.

Vice Chancellor Eugene Stevenson at
Paterson, n. j.. handed down decision
declaring void one important clause in
the will of Abram S. Hewitt. The opin-
ion Of the court of chancery had been
sought in interpreting a clause of the
will providing for the disposition of
100000 intended by the testator for his
grandchildren. Mr.. Hewitt made the
provision in his will that the 100000
should be held intact and not divided
among the grandchildren until the
youngest grandchild to issue shall have
reached the age of % years" On this
point the court considered much evidence
during the last three years, and it finally
was determined to have been the inten-
ton of Mr.. Hewitt to provide for grand
children not living at the time of his
death. Here the court took into consid-
Grafton famous English case which is
the basis for the decision of such suits in
chancery. to the effect that a will can
not legally provide for grandchildren
born beyond twenty-five years and nine
months after the death Of the testator
This being the case that portion of the
will was declared void and imperative
and the grandchildren now living get
nothing except through their parents.

A NOTED BEAUTY WEBS.
Lane de Pougy Marries Young Prince
Georges Ghika.

The event of last week in Paris, was
the marriage of the Eternal Beauty"
Lame de Pouyy, to the boyish Prince
John Ghika, who married Hazel Singer,
of New York. Prince George is a mild,
eccentric youth, with bushy hair and
clean-shaven face, and looks like a little
brother of Kubelik. Lame, in spite of
her forty-seven years, is still one of the
handsomest women i'll Paris. She owns
a mansion in the Rue de la Nova, and is
one of the richest women of her class
in Europe. Her jewels, presented by
monarchs and admiring inanders, are
worth fortune. A quarter of a century
ago Lame was the wife of Lieut. Pour
cher, of the French navy, who secured
a divorce after firing a revolver at her
and wounding her in the leg. Her first
question after the wound was dressed,
was: 'Oh, doctor, will it show?" The
doctors reply. that will depend upon
you, madame" still amuses Parisians.
Now that she is rich and titled. it is
understood the Princess will apply her
courage, intelligence and knowledge of
the word to forcing the doors of society.

EVENING DRESS TYRANNY.
Worn More Now, Says London Sartorial
Expert, Than Formerly.

No gentleman attired in correct even
waiter nowadays, according to a sarto-
rial expert whom Daily News represen-
tative interviewed yesterday. The dis
cussion out of which this statement had
arisen was on the question as to whether
the "tyrrany of evening Dress" so to
speak, had become greater in recent
years. The expert declined to agree that
1t was tyranny, but said evening dress
Is undoubtedly worn far more general
ly in these days than used to be the
case.
THE real fact Of the matter is" he
said. that evening dress IS more be-
coming to the wearer than it was a
few years ago. There is more style
about it. The cut is smarter, the lines
Of the figure are displayed much more
advantageously and more liberty is al
lowed with regard to the waisteoat. The
man of taste need not confine himself to
a white or black waistcoat, and soft,
pale colors-more frequently perhaps a
silver gray-are extremely popular. Then
the lower part of the waistcoat is cut
away more than was the fashion former
ly and the wearing Of black tie in
stead of the white IS allowable more
frequently than hitherto.
1.-THE attempt to introduce color into
the suits themselves was not very sue
cessful. but it was symptomatic of the
desire to get away from the stiffness of
the older fashions. 1t may be that some
men wear evening dress even though
they do not like it. because they feel
that their neglect to do so would be
noticeable on occasions, when in the past
1t would not have mattered, but I think
you will find that most of the men who
wear the correct attire do so because
they like it."-London Daily News.
