GntS, Parents and AuDtS

Chicago, July 11.-Mrs. H. B. Chip,
bride of two months, who lives at
No. 6422 Evanston avenue, declares
she is the most kissed woman in Chi
cago. Mrs. Chip receives on the ay-
erage forty kisses a day, the caresses
being contributed by:
One grandpa.
One grandma.
Two parents.
Five nephews.
Two aunts.
One husband.
Now, ! get four kisses from my
grandpa and four from grandma-one
at breakfast, one at luncheon, one al
dinner and one for good night" she
said. My husband is as affectionate
as he was before l married him. sc
you see I have a basis for my asser-
ton.
at is perfectly splendid to be the
most kissed woman in Chicago. Any,
way, it's a million times better thar
being the least kissel. 1t makes ~
smile to think of the diqerent ways
am kissed. Grandpa brushes my
face with his whiskers. Grandma is
very prim and takes great pains that
she makes no noise. Papa hugs me
Mother kisses my forehead. The lit.
tie ones seattle rtheir salutes in q
manner that keeps me washing my
face continually. My aunts merely
peck my lips, birdlike."

TAYLOR AND LEE STREETS
TANGLE IN BAL GAME.
Young TWirlers There Emulate This
Champs.

In a game unmarked by thrillers or
leaguetic stunts, but brimful of 1uyen>
lie enthusiasm, the Taylor Street lads
tackled the Lee Street curfew dodg-
ers yesterday in a convenient back
lot and trimmed them to a finish. The
Taylors put Jim Williams in the twirl-
ers' pit with Charles Haggerty under
the bat, while two sons ofequalIy mob
lie sires, young Bill Dodson ind Tom
Lane, made up Lees battery. The
game was of the fast and furious kind
which kept the umpire, James Holli-
day, going some, while the runs gar
nered backed each other off the
scoreboard for room.

above mediocrity may take on real sig
nihcance and even distinction from its
effective filling of frame or stopping
of vista. He is fair enough to add
that there is not much to choose in this
respect between the two branches of the
English-speaking race.
There is no question that the statues
which are authorized for this city or
which may be erected here in the fu-
ture should not be allowed to be hap
hazard creations nor should their loca-
ton be selected in a perfunctory way.
There has been too much indifference in
the past regarding both essentials. If
we are to have really beautiful city in
the future, the character and sites of
monuments demand careful considera-
ton.

The Latest Anti-Semitic Riots.

Organizers of massacres in Russia
will rejoice over the report of the anti
Jewish uprising in several towns in
Wales as a sequel to the strike. which,
in the meantime has been settled peace
ably There is, however, no comparison
whatever between the two occurrences.
In Russia the government failed in its
duty toward its citizens during the out
RACES, fact not at all strange. because
leading officials were among the insti-
gators of the massacres. In Wales the
sacking of Jewish shops was merely an
incident in connection with a general
industrial disturbance. The British gov
ernment promptly took the necessary
steps to suppress the disorder and to
protect the victims. There is no danger
of a general anti-Semitic uprising in
Great Britain.
The causes of the attack on the Jew
ish shops-exorbitant prices, high rents,
&c.-have been denied vigorously, but
their alleged existence stirred the. ig-
norant masses and famed religious
fanaticism. We take it for granted, how
ever, that Great Britain will enforce its
laws and order with rigor, insuring the
protection of life and property of all of
its inhabitants, irrespective of race or
faith.

CAPE HATTERAs MALIGNED.
Wind Mostly Onshore and Ground
ing of Vessels i. Carelessness.

From the Norfolk Galaxy.
Why do our local newspapers persist in
the silly effort to give Cape Hatteras an
uglier reputation than is its due? When
some old schooner, whose carelss captain
runs her into the sand of this point,
gets stuck fast, We are Immediately in
formed that The graveyard Of the sea
claims another VICTIM" and this in spite
of frequent fact that the stranded vessel
is either pulled off or awaits high tide
and gets of by herself. Half the time the
wind at this point is offshore and the
currents do not bear on it. but around 1t.
Grounding here is almost invariably
case of carelessness-
The real graveyards Of the sea are at
those points where the bleak cliffs meet
the ocean waves and send their acres OF
ragged partially submerged spurs far out
into the ocean. 1t is here that one may
see the true majesty and wild fury Of the
sea- OF this order the Newfoundland
coast offers the best example on this side,
and the French and British coast on the
other For every ship lost off Hatteras
there have been twenty lost off New
foundland.

One Hundred Years of Peace.

Ninety-seven years ago last Thursday,
August "a, Washington fell into the
hands of the British, and its principal
public buildings. with their contents,
were destroyed. The Capitol, the
Library, the State and War department
offices, and the Presidents house all
were burned by the invading army. At
that time, Washington was town of
5000 inhabitants In the space of ninety
seven years the Capital has risen from
the ashes of ruined village to be one
of the most beautiful cities in the world.
In three years century will have
passed since the dark days of the last
war with Great Britain. and the event
might we'll be marked by an elaborate
peace celebration The contrast between
the condition OF the city of the early
days and that of to-day would be strik-l
ing. The occasion could be made to
demonstrate impressively the advance
ment of Washington to the country and
the whole world 1t is not too early to
formulate the plans, and the suggestion
is commended to the Chamber of Com
merce and Board of Trade for their
consideration

Fire Drills and Records.

The fire drill established in the De-

General. is devised to protect valuable
records from destruction Each en-
Ploye has definite instructions as to the
books and papers to be carried from the
building in case OF danger from FIRE
While the care thus exercised by the
Attorney General is most admirable, and
while his example might be followed to
advantage in other departments, the
fact remains that the governmental
records ought not to be in such
jeopardy. Congress long ago purchased
a site for a hall of records, but the
money for the construction of the build
ing has not been appropriated. In the
meantime, therefore, vast quantity of
important papers, the loss of which
would be irreparable, continues to be
housed in edihces that are notoriously
nhammable The hall of records should
long ago have been constructed, and in
it should have been stored the archives

be Roanoke EYening World.

From the Roanoke Evening World.
Wishing to test the truth Of declara-
tion that enlisted men Of the United
States army are subjected to embarrass-,
ing discrimination in places of entertain
ment, Gen. Fredrick Grant the other
day detailed three young soldiers, fine
looking. manly fellows, to make a tour
of New York and report their expert
ences At the Waldorf-Astoria they
were received with utmost courtesy, es-
corted to the dining-room, and served
promptly and acceptably. At Sherry's
they were given the choicest seats, and
had their wants attended to with care.
Similar treatment was accorded them at
Delmonico's, and when they went to the
theater they were given the best places
in the house. From the report Of the
young men. Gen. Grant reached the con-
clusion that the clean, well-behaved SOL
der, even when in uniform, will be well
coined at any first-class place so long
as he behaves himself as a gentleman.

Our Statues.

1t is pleasing to know, upon the au-
thority of Montgomery Schuyler, writ
ing in Scribner's Magazine, that the
sransept of Westminster Abbey is little,
If at all, less eomical or less tragical
than the so-called chamber of horrors
in Statuary Hall of the Capitol In both
cases there is a heterogeneous commem-
oration of heroes, with statuettes
placed contiguous to colossal figures,
and the contrasts exciting mirth and the
excellence of each work lost through the
sbsurdity of the surroundings.
Mr. Schuyler pleads for suitable sites
and environments for monuments,
whether they be placed in the open air
Or within some public structure. The
effect Of the best monuments, sculptu-
rally and even architeeturally considered,
he says, may be quite ruined and nulli-
bed by placing them where they cannot
be really effective. On the other hand

Model Road Making.

Mr. Taft has promised to make the
opening address at the first congress of
the American Association for Highway
Improvement, which is to be held in
Richmond in November. He is in ia
vor of the good roads movement So is
every American who is interested in the
common veal.
The construction and maintenance of
good roads is no longer the simple prob
lem of few years ago. The road of
the future will be very different from
the highway of the past, and of the
majority of those in existence now
This change has been caused by the au-
tomobile. No old type road, even the
best, can resist the grinding of thou
sands of automobile wheels. Even the
old Roman highways, long used and
justly famous for durability, which with
stood the traffic of many centuries. are
beginning to show alarming effects
from the increase of automobiles, and it
is the general opinion of engineers in
Europe that all of the great arteries of
highway of common travel will have to
be reconstructed within the next few
years. The necessity for devising a new
and resistant system of construction is
felt most urgently
This phase for America, no doubt, will
be one of the main subjects of the road
congress. and the suggestions elected
will be of interest and importance, es-
pecially to all those concerned in auto
mobiles and motoring.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.

CRAZY EUROPEAN RULERS.
During the time Napoleon was
turning Europe topsy-turvy with
his splendid military genius more
than half the European thrones
were occupied by either lunatics
or half-witted persons. Emperor
Paul of Russia had q feeble in
tellect. a scanty education, and
an absurd and well-nigh insane
self-conceit. Christian VII of
Denmark was so feeble and NOR
bid that he was incapable OF
rulitg. Queen Marie of Portu-
gal was hopelessly insane, and
had to be kept under restraint.
Charles w of Spain was a weak
ruler, hardly a shade more than
alf-witted. His brother. Ferd-
inand of Naples, was a little
better, but not much. And George
III of England, intellectually
sluggish and obstinate by nature :
years Of his life in hopeless in
sanity. Napoleon's career prob
ably would have been shorter
and less brilliant had the Euro
pean thrones been occupied by
vigorous monarchs.

Age Limit for ChaufTeurs.

From the Baltimore American.
The establishing of an age limit for
operators Of automobiles is a perfectly
reasonable proposition. A powerful ma
chine. with all its possibilities OF speed.
in streets used by men, women. and chill
dren. is entirely tbo dangerous a toy for
irresponsible boys who think nothing OF
the rights of others and Of possible acci-
dent, but are heedlessly intent only on
going fast Already in a fatal acci-
dent the plea of extreme youth has been
set up as a defense. and this fact should
add weight to the arguments for taking
the handling of automobiles from ire
sponsible persons. If youth and intoxica-
ton are allowed as mitigating circum-
stances in accidents. then there will be
no safety in the highways and the city
streets for anybody.

True. the ranks have been sadly de-
pleted in recent years, and there will be

comes for the next encampment, but the
enthusiasm that has brought out nearly
10000 of the survivors will continue, de-
spite the rapidly lessening number. At

ance is a tax upon the physical strength
cf the veterans. 1t makes a great de-
mand upon their physical energy. not
withstanding the comforts of modern
travel. and. in addition to this, the sacri-
fee Of one or more lives has been a
regular result of recent parades at the
national encampments of the Grand
Army
The citizens and the country have
been generous in their treatment of the
heroes of the civil war The latter have
been shown grateful consideration, and
the value OF their services and the
courage OF their sacrifices continues to
be recognized, though but tradition to
the present generation. AS long as
:hese men remain with us we owe them
fhe tribute of reverence and appreci-
stion. Their day of duty fell in an
epoch-naking period OF our history, and
the distinction which is theirs may be
all the more unique if, as many hope,
we are entering upon an era of eternal
peace. In the meantime, however. it
would seem either that the annual
parade should be abandoned or its route
curtaied. or else that the cities which
entertain the veterans should provide
some means for transportation. 1t is
becoming too great task for men who
are no longer young to march for miles
over city streets.

WHAT TOGO HAS SEEN.
Admiral Impressed by Gigantic
Feats of Engiueering.

Admiral Impressed ny 61Rnnttc
Fents of Engineering.
From the Newark Evening Star
Admiral Togo's impressions of New
York and its immediate surroundings
must be more vivid than any others that
he received while in this country, and
are probably greater than any in Eng
land. The Japanese admiral saw in Lon
don a wonderful social pageant and he
beheld also the great spectacle of an as
sembled British navy. But he, expected
to see all of that. What was of more
interest to him as a japanese was an ex-
hibition of the wealth, power. and re-
sources Of the United States, with which
nation Japan may in the future come in
conflict. A few war ships, however
formidable, would not awe him. Japan
can build battle ships and also can con-
struct 14-inch guns to equip them:
What did make an impression on the
admirars mind was the wonderful con-
struction work he beheld in New York
the evidences on every side Of incessant
energy and daring achievement. He did
not need to be told, for he had only to
use his eyes. Now, a man like Admiral
Togo would draw certain deductions
from what he saw. He would say that a
people capable Of such things were equal
to any great task: that they could never
be caught unprepared by a war; that
in a conflict with another great power
American genius would be able to har-
ness the forces of nature: that in short
a nation such as he beheld was uncon-
querable
