BURROWS AND LoRIMER.

Even the Detroit Journal. whicl
supported Senator Burrows for re.
election, is not in accord with tn,
senator's attitude in the Lorimer cas-,
and roundly scores him for his defens,
Of the blond boss" Says the Jour.
nal:
To the people of Michigan, to
his friends in this state. there is
not a great deal of satisfaction to
be derived from the speech made
on the floor Of the United States
senate yesterday by Senator ]. C.
Burrows of Michigan. II was not
at all the sort of speech which
his friends and admirers would
have chosen for Senator Burrows
with which to close his long pub
lie career.
The speech was in defense Of
Senator William Lorimer Of nH-
nois. There is nothing reprehen-
sible In making a defense of Lor-
liner Indeed, IL is courageous,
unquestionaby. The humiliating
feature is that Senator Burrows.
a member OF the senate committee
that investigated the bribery
charges, offers a defense of Lor-
inner so improbable, so Illogical so
pitifully futile, that no intelligent
man can accept it, For instance,
Senator Burrows makes this state
ment:
There is absolutely no proof i'm
the case, direct or indirect, from
which a legitimate inference could
be drawn that a single member of
the general assembly 1.-THE Illinois
legislaturel was corruptly influ-
enced to vote for Mr. Lorimer
In that statement. Senator Bur
rows impressively outdoes his own
committee. The senate investigat-
ing committee whitewashed Nrr.
Lorimer; but Senator Burrows
whitewashes the whole nauseous
incident The senate committee
reported that while there was un-
deniable proof of corrupt votes.
II had not been proved that enough
corrupt votes had been cast for
Senator Lorimer to secure his
election; that he had been elected
without the aid Of the corrupt
votes. That report Of the COM
mittee was pretty hollow pretty
ilimsy, pretty humiliating-but
Senator Burrows goes so far as
10 deny that there were corrupt
votes.

AT HARVARD FIFTY YEARS AGO
N. S. Shaler Tells Us of the Life Of a
Senior.

He was a senior in Harvard college

scholarship in the classics. as well as
for a miscellaneous assortment Of tai

to be the best player of the game of
checkers in the country; knew the
political history OF the United States
amazingly well; was learned in pugil-
ism, having at his tongues end the
story of all the prize-flghts of recent
times; withal he was the merriest lit
tie man | ever seen. | well recall my
first morning with him, when, after go

edge of that ignoble art. At that time

TO EXPLOIT PENINSULA.
Railroad Officials Report Satisfactory
Prooress So Far

The railroad officials and represen-
tatives of the Northern Michigan Land
company, who have launched a move
ment to organize an upper peninsula
development company, are greatly
pleased at the manner the project is
being received.
1t is not the intention of the bureau
to exploit any particular portion of
the peninsula to the exclusion Of other
sections, but TO make the advertising
general and such that every county
will receive equal benefit with others.
The claim is that by working in con-
junction and as a general organization
much more can be accomplished for
all sections than there could where
many improvement associations were
working separately and along individ-
ual lines.
For instance if a county organiZa-
tion raised one or two thousand dol
lars for exploiting its resources, after
the payment of secretary or manager
to look after the business. but small
vertising purposes. on the other hand
were all of the counties to pool their
resources and place it i'm general
fund with a general advertising
scheme every part of the peninsula
would receive the benefit of the other
fellows money. And it is this which
the bureau hopes to accomplish.

Two Marks of Beauty.

Beautiful eyes and brows are, in
one sense, a special gift of nature.
Many plain woman is redeemed by
fine eyes; many a pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed, dull, lusterless eyes.
But at the saise time a great deal may
be done to make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful.
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon to do a great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes of a person afflicted with dyspop-
sia, the yellow tinge of overfeeding
and neglected liver; the lusterless
eyes of the woman who sleeps in an
ill-ventilated room, who takes no ex.
ercise and spends all her spare time
reading novels over the fire?

/ That the often-made statement that
1.-THE Marquette prison is primarily an
/ institution for the confinement OF long

able. is evident when il Is stated that
OF the 322 inmates now at the institu-

life sentences. los whose sentences are
ten years or more and l5S whose SEN

This philosophical attitude of the life

crime. Such men are not necessarily
bad at heart and after having had
time to reflect upon the enormity of
their misdeed realize the justice of
their punishment. At the same time,
they realize that their only hope is in
making the best of their condition and
in living up TO the prison rules, both
for their own peace of mind and in the
hope that by exemplary conduct at
some future time their life sentence
may be commuted or abrogated.

Very domestic is the life of the Bel

every sort of interest of the parents.
They would not think of going to the
restaurant or summer garden without
the children, and their own pleasures

their boys and girls. The father goes
to the circus with his little troupe of

Medicine in the Sea

The sea, according to certain scient-
lists, can furnish not only nourishment,
but medicine. A distinguished French
practitioner prescribes the drinking of
sea water as a cure for diabetes, the
water being aerated in order to re-
move its impurities and, to some ex-
tent, its nauseous flavor. 1t has also
been administered with success in
cases of bronchitis and pleurisy. Elk.
periments carried out on consumptive
patients show that subcutaneous in
jections of sea water are beneficial, at
all events in the early stages of tuber-
culosis. Bread made with sea water
is said by those who have tried it to
be most appetizing and nourishing.
