Women Honored in New Cathedral.

From the Lady's Pictorial.
Liverpool Cathedral will be rema -kable
for many things, among them the fact
that probably no other building of equal
Importance has had a younger architect.
G. Gilbert Scott was only twenty-three
when his drawings were accepted. 1t will
be some thirty years before the structure
will be completed. but the Lady Chapel
is to be opened next summer. and in this
will be found q magnificent scheme of
stained glass windows in commemoration
of the deeds of good women.
All the famous women Of the Old and
New Testament are to be included, but
there will also be memorials of good
women of modern times-Mary Collet.
Grace Darling. Josephine Butler. Eliza
beth Fry, Ann Clough. Mary Somerville.
Mary Rogers. the stewardess of the
Stella, Queen Victoria. Susannah Wesley
and others. Some of thS names will ap-
pear strange to many. but have not seen
that Of Miss Nightingale. The Lady with
the Lamp could hardly be omitted.

Seaweed.
From the Kennebec Journal.

From The kennebec Journal.
The much-despised seaweed of our
fathers has come to have quite COM
mercial value in these enlightened days.
especially along our Pacific coast. Just
at present the principal exports are to
China, where it is esteemed as table
delicacy. Last year the trade with China
reached the one-hundred- thousand-dollar
mark. We of the Atlantic coast sell a
little in that line, but the trade is by
no means SO extensive. Seaweed, how
ever, produces bromine, iodides of sodi-
um potassium, calcium iodine hydriodic
acid, mercury and magnesium. 1t is also
employed, after drying, in the place of
grasses as protection for breakfast arti-
cies packed for transportation. as a
sound deadener,' for upholstery and
other similar uses.

Another man for whom Blizzard has
no love is Representative Harry Wood

Woods of Ritohie for Woodyard's place
brought woodward home in a hurry
from Washington to look after his
fences. 1t is stating a truth to remark
However, it is characteristic of his
to start at a shadow. In fact, the Scott
people. who were always his most
powerful and enthusiastic supporters,
really constituting the backbone of his
organization are inclined to be luke
warm now, because woodward has been
timid In taking a part for Senator Scott
standing the senator's known personal
help in his campaigns.
Should Meats get the assistant district
attorneys place and MoCrum be turned
down, it is a question If it would be the
sole cause for Scott losing Preston. Rep
resentative Sturgiss this week threatened
Scott with the loss of State Senator j. w.

gardless OF this talk of Sturgiss. Flynn Is
a Scott man and will be counted as such.
What possibly causes the most anxiety
in the Scott camp is the strength former
Gov. Dawson has in his home county Of
Preston They say Dawson has lost his
hold there. Certainly If he could retain

The situation relative to the federal as

known that he has no desire to be hasty

Townsend does not deny he made a mis-

not take that view of it, but before acting

This prospect, coupled with Hubbard s
Illness, has impeded his senatorial plans.

Doubt Regarding McCrum.

Whether McCrum is in line for that
place and will insist on it is not known.
II the senator's have not obligated
themselves it is virtually certain they
will agree to Meats The latter is in
fiuential in Wood county. having served
as speaker of the house of delegates,
and is popular in his party. Above
that consideration is the effect his ap-
pointment would have in conciliating
Judge Blizzard, who has been off the
reservation since he was turned down
for Roy Waugh. Blizzard now controls
the two republican newspapers in
Wood county, and his help would surely
be worth while to a senatorial aspirant.
The judge has been giving Hubbard
negative sort of encouragement in his
race for the senate, without positively
committing himself. and frequently he
has given hints of being candidate
himself. During SCOTS former CAM
paigns Blizzard was an insistent and
persistent Scott man. but he was hold
ing down a federal place then, largely
through the grace of Scott. Blizzard
for years has been on the outs, POLITICAL
ly, with ex-Gov. White, also a resident
of Parkersburg, Scott boomer. and
any arrangement that would put both
these men on one side would make it
d cinch for Scott in the Parkersburg
district.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM PUZZLES
Supt. Phillips Sees No Way to Help
Maryland Towns.
Many Details OF Big Project Must
BE Worked Ont by the Sewer
Department..

Supt. Phillips, of the District sewer
department, can see no way TO overcome
the several difficulties that lie in the way
Of the project to get a modern drainage
and sewerage system by coupling the ex-
listing mains with the Districts trunk
line, which runs along the boundary Of
tho District, from Anscostia 20 the Po-
tomac River.
A study Of the topography Of the maps
show that it would be impossible to con-
meet these Maryland suburbs with the
District system in the way indicated.
Mr.. Phillips, however, in a report Of
the sewer department, viii have a strong
recommendation. which will include towns
in Maryland. as well as hundreds Of other
localities. which drain into the Potomac
and Anacostia rivers
AS soon as the many details OF this
project are worked out It is assured that
all the Maryland towns in Rock Creek
Valley along the Potomac and Eastern
Branch will send their drainage right
through the drainage system into the big
pumping station in Southeast Washing
ton.
Maryland residents along the edge OF
the District are coming 70 the District
Building weekly. each town and suburb

MAY STOP MINlING GOLD
Coins Do Not Circulate Well in ANY
Part of the Country.
Foreign Nations Take Advantage of
America to supply Themselves
with Exchange.

The-truth has been driven home upon
the officials Of the United States Mint
that the people Of the country do not
elect 10 use coins when they can have
paper money. Ia places remote from the
financial centers, where money Is not so
easily changed silver dollars. gold pieces
and other forms OF metal money are COM
mon. But the city man. and more and
more every other kind Of man, is get
ting away from the. coin and reaching
after the paper money. The fact lies in
its greater ease Of handling and carry
ing about the person. The only practi-
cal use for coins is paying trade bal
ances in Europe.
For many years 1t has been customary
10 coin al the minis all the gold bullion
and foreign coins that might be offered
there for the purpose And after these
coins are made. they drift into the
treasury vaults and bank vaults, and re-
fuse 20 circulate TO any large exteut. be-
ing sent TO New York TO MI the export
orders for gold from foreign govern
ments
In consequence Of the facts enumer-
ated the officials Of the Mint and the
Treasury have decided TO stop the coin
age Of gold FOR time at least. and to
put out only such an amount OF the metal
money as may really ind use in this
country.
Two important economies VIII be effect
ed by the change. The government will
save from $4,000 20 10000 annually in
the Mint expenses. and America Will
then cease 20 be the chief center from
which foreign countries derive fresh sup
plies of coin. The gold bullion is just as
good as the coin 10 issue certificates
upon, and under the proposed plan II
foreign countries want gold from the
United States they can take it in bars or
certificates instead d coin.
Some legislation VIII be required before
the plan can be fully carried out by the
Treasury. but it is proposed at once 70
reduce the output to the lowest practi-
cable point
During the month OF August the mint
turned out SlIOOoOOO IN gold coin. the
greater part OF which was required in
the exports Of gold coin. and il was
found necessary on September 70 order
the Denver mint 10 turn out coins az the
rate Of $4,000 a day 10 supply the de-
mand, and the San Francisco is turning
out gold eagles at the rate Of $4,000 a day.
Treasurer McClung will recommend in
his forthcoming report 10 the Treasury
the stopping OF mintng OF gold coins
and the issue Of gold certificates upon the
bullion.

CHERISHED BY CHIEF WAGNER
MOtor-propelled Fire Apparatus Is
Urged for District.
Head of Department. Asks Commits
slOners to Renew Recommended
tiOn TO Congress.

The hope that Washington shall some
day be provided with a motor-propelled
fire apparatus is sun cherished by Chief
Wagner Upon his return yesterday from
the International Association of Fire
mems convention at Syracuse, Chief
Wagner submitted to the Commissioners
the following report;
THE subject Of motor-propelled fire
apparatus was discussed at length. and
those chiefs who have had practical ex-
perience with such apparatus spoke
highly Of It's efficiency, It's durability
and the great reduction in ,he cost Of
maintenance compared with horse-drawn
apparatus.
THE facts set forth lead me 70 be-
lieve that the Commissioners can make
no mistake in renewing 10 Congress their
recommendation for the installation Of
motor-propelled apparatus in the FIRE de-
partment of the District"
Another subject for discussion was that
OF high pressure water systems. Chief
Wagner was elected one Of the vice
presidents Of the association.

back into the bottle milk which has been
exposed 10 the air by being placed In
other vessels. Keep the bottle covered
with paper cap as long as milk is in II
and when not actually pouring from 1t.
II the paper cap has been punctured,
cover the bottle with an inverted tumbler.
MILK Easily DeteriOrates.
Milk deteriorates by exposure to the air
OF pantry, kitchen. or nursery. Do not
expose uncovered milk in a refrigerator
ton strong-smelling foods like fish, cab
bage. or onions. An excellent way Of
serving milk on the table. from the sani-
tary standpoint. IS in the original Bottle;
at all events pour out only what will be
consumed at one neal
When milk is received in a bowl or
pitcher instead OF IN a bottle, observe the
spirit Of the foregoing remarks: Keep the
vessel covered; expose uncovered milk TO
the air Of any room as little as possible;
do not expose it at all i'm a refrigerator.
Remember that exposure Of milk 10 the
open air invites contamination not only
from odors and bacteria-laden dust. but
also from flies. These scavengers may
convey germs OF typhoid fever or other
contagious diseases from the sick room
or from excreta to the milk.
Records show typhoid epidemics from
such a cause and 100000 fecal bacteria
have been found on a single fly. Flies
also frequently convey 10 milk large num-
bers OF bacteria that cause intestinal
disorders In infants.
An examination of 41i flies showed an
average Of 100000 bacteria per fly.
