The Mayor of New England city has announc-
cd his refusal TO take the salary attached to the
Office. AS a reason for this attitude he says tnat
he entered politics because he believed he codld
be of service to the community and he had no
mercenary motive in mind. This New England
Mayor is carrying the matter too far, for any man
who devotes his time to the public service should
receive a reasonable compensation. But how diff
ferent is the New England Mayors position from
that of many other Office holders who spend much
Of their time scheming to increase their own in

aries. and in many instances it was more success

Even before the Legislature begins, some of the
State newspapers are expressing the hope that the
session will not last long there is really little
TO be done, they say. The prescribed time is GER
tainly long enough for the Legislature TO meet
but much beneficial work could be accomplished in
that time. number Of important things are to
come before the Legislature in obedience to the
pledges and promises Of the Republican platform.
These matters should be carefully considered, and
if So there are plenty of matters to occupy the at
tention of the members. But there is no good Tea-
son why the Legislative sessions should be pro-
longed. The Legislature should take up its busi-
ness promptly and not frittcr away time.

Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL: I note in your issue OF Decem-
Der 80, letter written to City Coun-
icl by Mr.. OFT, of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company, stat
ing that If Council wished to have
special tests, the company would
make them. Mr.. Editor, this is an
other case of satisfying the members
OF Council and giving no consideration
TO the public at large.
/ earnestly hope that the franchise
asked for will not be given unless the
traction company will reduce their
rates TO z or cents per kilowatt
hour without minimum rating for gem
Grating by steam, or FIVE cents per
kilowatt by water. There is no doubt
but that McCall's power viii some day
be used in this city, which will not
cost as much as steam generated cur
rent These figures should be a
maximum rating.
/ know Of one city In Virginia
where residence lighting costs less
than five cents per kilowatt with no
minimum bill, and the porch and
other outside lights are free. These
outside lights are connected on the
service side and are not recorded.
! hope further that the legislative
bodies of the city and State will see
that the public will get that which
belongs to them now, when It is due
time. and that the public will re-
ceive some consideration.
The object of the company can be
plainly seen. as Mr. Crosby. as stated

THE NOISE NUISANCE.

T. HE SUNDAY STAR discusses the complaint
u Of one of our correspondents about the noise
created by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany in trying 10 draw heavy trains through parts
oil the city during the dead hours of the nighs
with engines too small for their tasks This is ac-
companied by shrickng of whistles that greatly
dsturbs people who live in the neighborhood of
the moving trains. Every city is troubled with the
problem of unnecessary noise. Certainly there
is no excuse for shriekihg whistles, and the resi-
dents along the railroad lines have just cause Of
complaint Our city authorities never seem TO
have taken hold Of the nuisance properly. Some
months ago when residents of the southwestern
part Of the city complained Of bowling street ven-
dors and protested TO Council the matter was
treated as a joke.
There are enough noises in a city without being
forced to submit TO those unnecessary. The blow
ing of whistles on factories in the early morning
is ono form OF noise which stirs some people un-
pleasantly. OF what practical in these days
IS a whistle on factory at any rate?
Another nuisance is the crashing rafting troll
ley cars which dash along the street making an out
rageous commotion. In some parts of the city
the racket. TO use an expression of the street, is
fierce Foundations of houses are shaken and
sometimes articles arc olted of mantel places
There Is valid reason why the tracks the cars
should be so defective 10 create such nuisance
campaign against unnecessary noise in Viii
mineton should be something worth while.

THE CAR AND THE HIGHWAY.

Nothing has given so forceful an impetus to the movement for road building as the automobile" writes Thaddeus s. Dayton in Harper's Weekly. Millions of dollars are be- ing spent upon state roads. 'Grhe time is not far distant when the fed eral government will step in and aid in their construction. There is a bill before congress for an ocean-to-ocean highway, which shall have a right of way mile wide. The highway proper is to be 1,430 feet wide Along this will be roads with a macadam surface, steel tracks for electric cars, steel-plase tracks for fast automobiles, and cement ways for motor cars going less than twen- ty-fve miles an hour. It is planned to have this highway follow the thir- ty-ffth parallel of latitude"

COUP OF GREAT COLLECTOR
How Charles Wertheimer Bought Fur nished House In Order to Get
 Priceless Chinese Vase.

The late Charles Wertheimer when asked on one occasion what he con- sidered 10 be his astutest business coup, thought for while and then told how once when he was walking through a Brighton square he espied through an open window what he knew to be priceless Chinese vase. He went to the nearest postoffice, ex- amined a local directory and found the name of the resident. Then he called and asked for the gentleman and was shown into the study under the name of 'eHamilton." He briefly explained that he was looking for a modest house in Brighton and had taken fancy to this one. Would the gentleman entertain an offer for the place as 1t stood-"lock, stock and barrel ?" The owner, a little nonplused, hesitated. "If your off, fer is reasonable, ' interrupted Ham ilton," VI will give you an extra thousand" "Call tomorrow at 10:30 then," replied the owner. "Hamil- ton" did and found him prepared to accept f1s,00o for the twenty-two years unexpired term and the con- tents of the residence.
 Although this was we'll over mar ket vVlue, Hamilton" at once closed, adding the extra thousand, according to promise. As, however, he after ward sold the vase for f35, 1000, his coup was unmistakable.

THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers of this country are generally the kitchen girls and women who remain In the kitchen and in the house a great deal. The teapot is constantly on the stove and the strong stale brew full of jamie acid and bitter extrac- tives is poured into the stomach M frequent intervals Here we get not only the stimulation of the cnf- fein, but the irritation of the tannin derivatives on the stomach mucous membrane. The sooner or later re- suit is sleeplessness, and irritable fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia, or even gastritis, and constipation. Of course, the treatment is to stop the cause, treat the insomnia, dvs- pepsia and constipation, and give fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier than other individuals decay of the teeth. Children up to 15 years should not drink coffee or tea regu- larly.-Journal of the American Medical Association

FIGHTING FOR WIFE AT 90
Aged Turkoman, Taken Prisoner by kurds, Was Grained by Woman
 He Had Captured.

Describing a feature of fight be- tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per sia, a traveller says: 'The Turko- mans, who always fight on foot, were ultimately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had joined the expedition in order to secure a new wifel The damsel in question came up during the in- terrogatory and brained her captor with stone During these raids, past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed a great and permanent advantage, in that nei- ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women, owing to their ugli- ness. The Turkoman, on the other hand, preferred Persian to their own women, and thus had a keen incn- tive, apart from the purely commer- cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary"

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE
 STATE FAIR?
Isn't It High Time the People of Arkansas Were Waking Up and
 Getting In the Procession of Prog. ress With Other Husting States?

As a citizen what do you say about facturer or professional man, what do you say? Do you want to see the Arkansas State Fair grow in extent of exhibits and widen in scope of in- fluence and usefulness? How much have you helped in the past to bring this about, and how much gre you going to do a.cpg this line this year! Let us have a iitlo quiet heart-to- heart talk about it. Every progress
 ssve state in the Union has state fair. Most of them bave great expo sitions. They have been made so by popular interest taken by the people and by liberal legislative aid. Moth ing inspires and stimulates progress sive effort, imparts industrial educa- ton or introduces advanced methods of production. like high-class public fair, No agency is more potent as an advertising medium to attract the at tention of the world to the resources and advantages of a state or section of state. To all of this you readily assent. Then won't you determine right now, to become a factor in the Arkansas State Fair this year? Don't think of it as ''Hot Springs fair" It was never so designated It Is local to Hot Springs only in the fact that it is held there. But this is for tunate circumstance to the state, for more strangers from all sections of the country visit Hot Springs, than any other city in the state, and hence have chance to learn of our mar yelous resources, which otherwise they would never hear of While the citizens of Hot Springs have at their own expense maintained the fair for six years, their design is, and has been, for it to be in all respects what the name implies-a State Fair. Cant you show something worth while at the fair this fall? Won't you do so? At least, you can attend and see the big show. Write for a premium list.

HOW TO THINK YOUNG.

You can help to keep of sagging cheeks if you will only think young" Never allow the cheek mus cles to droop for single instant. Pleasant thoughts help the muscles as well as the mind. At night mas sage the relaxed muscles back into place with a good ointment. Sleep on your back without pillow at night, and if this does not do, tie up the chin in a chin belt. It will hold up the relaxed muscles until your cheeks return to frmer con- tour. You can get one by sending to any good beauty shop.--Woman's World.

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR
It Reflects Local Enterprise and Pub. lie Pride. 1t stimulates Public
 Progress.

If your county is going to have a fair this fall, give it your actual and moral support. Be one to do some thing towards its success. You can select something from among the best of your products tu exhibit. Take it to your fair. You may win prize, and if you do 1t will stimulate others to better efforts. The county fair is to the industrial nature of a commit nifty what a good school is to its edu- cational nature, and big revival to its moral nature. If you don't win a prize you will be stimulated by the success of your neighbor, and make better efforts next year. Every good county fair is worth to its county ten times what it costs. The county fair should also be made an auxiliary of the state fair. It should be feeder to the State Fair as the short lines are to the trunk lines of railroad. From the county fair the best ex- hibits should be sent to the State Fair. That helps to put your county and town on the map, and advertise it to the world. Who can tell the amount of money and thrifty immi- grafton good exhibit at the State Fair may bring to your section. This is the way to build up your section and promote the common prosperity of your people.
