so DECEPTIVE
Many Smyrna People Fail to
Realize the Seriousness.

Backache is so deceptive.
1t comes and goes-keeps you
guessing.
Learn the cause-then cure it.
Nine times out of ten it comes
from the kidneys.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
can help you.
They are for backache; other
kidney ills.
Here's Smyrna case to prove it:
Vernon L. Philips, painter, Main
St., Smyrna, Del. says: GAS l know
that Doan's Kidney Pills live up to
the calims made for them, am glad
to recommend them. About five
years ago my kidneys became badly
disordered and my back ached terri
bly, at times. The kidney secretions
passed irregularly and caused me
much annoyance. A friend finally
advised me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and l procured box at Clifton
& Jones' Pharmacy. This remedy
helped me from the first and in a
short time after began its use my
trouble disappeared. l would not be
without Doan's Kidney Pills in the
house, as they never fail to relieve
backache and other symptoms of kid
ney or bladder trouble -

Foraer Appealed to Carnegie.

Jesse Seaver, aged twenty years, a
former theological student, who was
placed under arrest at Lima, o., and
brought to Richmond, Ind, to an
swer to a charge of passing a forged
check on Earlham college, was SEN
fenced to the state reformatory for
from two to fourteen years. He plead
ed guilty.
Seaver said he was prompted to
use fraudulent methods to obtain the
funds in order to pursue religious
studies. He told the court he had OBJ
tanned about $500 from various col
leges during the last few months, and
he had with him a complete record of
his transactions.
Seaver also said he had appealed
recently to Andrew Carnegie to assist
him in order that he might pay back
moneys he had obtained unlawfully.

Five Burned to Death.

Supposed to have been caused by
the explosion of a lamp during the
night, two houses at Oneida, near
Hazleton, Pa, occupied by Gabriel
Gerotsky and Michael Slovak, Hun
garians, were burned and five mem
bers of the Gerotsky family lost their
lives in the flames.
Gabriel Gerotsky, the father; his
daugters, Annie, twelve years old, and
Mary, aged eight years, and his sons,
Michael four years old, and Gabriel,
two years old, were burned to death.
Mrs. Gerotsky and John, a crippled
son, escaped.
The crippled boy was awakened
from his sleep by the cracking of
the flames. He and his mother went
downstairs to investigate, but could
see no fire, and returned to the sec.
ond floor to go back to bed.
When they reached the top OF the
stairs the flames, which originated in
the Slovak home, had eaten their way
through to their home and shut of
the sleeping members of the Gerotsky
family and they could not be reached
The Slovak family was awakened in
time and escaped from their home in
safety.

thanks of congress, which carries with
it the privilege of senate and house
chambers. Very few persons have re.
ceived the latter honor since the

nurse, who for some time was a dis
trict nurse in. Lebanon, Pa, died at
her home from blood poisoning, re.
sulting from being bitten by a de.
mented woman, Mrs. John Kilmoviski,
whom she was nursing.
Miss Light was bitten in the chest
and on her hands and arms, ending in
blood poisoning, due probably to her
rundown condition from overwork. A

Princess di Trigona, a young and
beautiful lady-in-waiting to Queen
Helena of Italy, was murdered at a
small hotel in Rome by Lieutenant
Paterno, an officer in the Italian cav

the details of the story that led up
to it are thus far unknown or sup.

state that the lieutenant strangled the

Jail For Huston Is Courts Decree.

The judgment of the Dauphin coun-
ty court in the case of Joseph Nj. Hus-
ton, architect of the state capitol, who
was convicted of conspiracy to de-
fraud the state, was affirmed by the
superior court in Williamsport, Pa.
The lower court sentenced Huston
to from six months to two years in
the eastern penitentiary and to pay a
fine of $500 and costs.
The decision means thai Huston
must serve the prison sentence and
pay the fine imposed by the lower
court on his conviction of the charge
of defrauding the state in connection
with the construction of that building
unless it is overruled on higher ap-
peal.

 The hours might be from 3 to 5, as busy women would want to go home after that to see about their personal duties and at 4 o'clock precisely some little refreshment would be in keep ing.
 Bread and butter and tea are quite enough for this bite though, of course, there is no objection to making it more elaborate However, remember that the more expense one is put to the less likelihood there will 'be of the continuance of these agreeable little functions, and if half of the club members are without servants there is the bother to consider. The visit ing would be weekly, twice a month or monthly, and every three months the society could chip in and have specially fine feast at one of the most convenient homes, when a few invita- tiols to husbands, sweethearts. and brothers would give the affair snap cf extra interest.
 The gathering could be called the .adies' club or the old fashioned club pr the ladies' meeting society, but a rose by any other name would smell ss sweet. What is most important Is for the ladies to get into the mood for social intercourse so that the tine given up to the meeting will not be thought wasted. If the affairs have } mental stimulus all the better, for weman cannot live through trifling interests alone. She needs to know what is going on in the world-what women are doing and reading and hoping and thinking. If she wants to be anything of person she must ac- 1uire some knowledge of the grander
 literature, of plays, fine novels and poetry.
 So why not have as entertainer for every meeting some person set apart by appointment, who will read aloud or introduce the topic for discussion? Quite a year could be given up to Shakespeare's plays, a knowledge of which is essential to polite life.
 Then look at the civic and social conditions that concern the woman of today-what a world of things. to talk about here.-Prudence Standish in Portland Oregonian.

Why?

Why are the camel's feet provided with large cushions or pads?
 Because a foot thus furnished is best adapted for treading upon sand. The foot of the camel is planted with heavy downward stamp, and lifted LID straight and high. The oval cush- ion underneath meets the sand with a solid pressure and has little tendency to sink into it. The extremltleS ot the toes are fortified by flat nails, which have a very slight resemblance to proper hoofs. These give firmness to the cushion that lies underneath. The cushion also being nonconduc- tor of heat, prevents the heat of the sands from distressing the animal on its journey. The cameps natural food consists, not of meadow herbage and fat pastures, in which most of the ruminants delight, but of thorny shrubs, date leaves and the leaves and branches of the tamarisk.

"A local character whom we will call Shorty Blank has reputation as an actor and takes part in nearly all of the local shows. Tn the last show that was given Shorty had one of the lead ing parts.
 After the show, while he was taking off his makeup, an elderly man made his appearance in the doorway.
 Are you MT. Blank" inquired the old man.
 "Yes,' replied Shorty, as lie motion ed him to be seated.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
see by the STAR that the usual
farce OF arrest and indictment for
manslaughter is TO be gone through
with in the case OF the men held re-
sponsible for the death of the victims
of the dynamite explosion In Jersey
City. | can safely call it a farce, ="
Judging by many precedents In just
such sad affairs as this.
one of the difficulties is that when
So many people are indicted n shoVes
the responsibility upon the other. and
the net result is that no one is respcn-
sible, or at least things are made to
appear so.
Another difficulty is that there are
always a lot of powerful friends Of the
accused who standN by them to the
finish. This helus to make investiga-
lions and indictments of this kind
nugatory.
But aside from this, ever II no pun
ishment is melted out, as usual, the
bitter lesson will certainly bear fruit
and greater precautions will be taken
to handle the dangerous stuff.

Sam and the Honduras Revolution,
so far as results are concerned.
From the very beginning General
Bonilla and his famous Honduran
Revolution never had a chance to
accomplish anything definite, when
the negotiations for hat $40, 900, 600
loan from American capitalists we're
considered.
For some subtle diplomatic
reason, however, Uncle Sam has
permitted the Revolution merrily to
proceed-within certain limits laid
down by himself.
He insisted. for instance. that all
battles be fought upon the beach.
where they would interfere with no
n who wished to attend to his
business.
This idea of allotting certain iso-
lated spots as backgrounds is a
good one, N might be acted upon
successfully by all nations when
they find war unavoidable.

DELAYED RAILROAD TAX PAYMENTS.

NAT HY should the State and municipalities be compelled to
WV wait three or four months for the taxes assessed upon the
railroad corporations? The assessment for the present
year was made upon railroad property in the fiscal year 1910, which
ended October 81. The tax was due on November 1. and, reason.
ably, it should have been payable in that month. As it is, the law
permits the railroads to withhold the money for Il long period,
giving them the advantage of more than $4,000 in interest. This
long indulgence is not vouchsafed to any other class of taxpayers,
and there is no imaginable reason for it other than the profit of
the railroads. AS is we'll known, the railroads have always been
chronic kickers in their tax rates with the State and municipalities
For many years this most favored of the property interests in this
State enjoyed large exemptions and until 1906 paid not more than
onethird of the rate assessed upon private property. The railroad
has found kicking highly profitable.

A SATISFACTORY BOND SALE.

NV EWARKS sale of 4 per cent. bonds at a premium yesterday
INN commands attention in other cities. in most of which 1T
has been hard to sell Al per cent. municipal bonds even at
par. The fact is notable, also. that the issue was taken up almost
entirely locally. Comptroller Parmly, in efectng this sale, has
made a creditable beginning of his administration in office. By
the sale of the corporate bonds the temporary loan bonds issued
on school account three years ago will be retired. The sale of
dock bonds was held off by Comptroller Bachelor last year and
until he retired from Office through apprehension that they would
not find a market. The success of these bonds makes sure the
disposal of future issues of dock bonds. which solves the most i'm
portant problem in the matter of dock and meadow improvement.

AN EMPTY LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION.

eo HE outcome of the long winded investigation of legislative
graft at Albany is farcical. The committee, in its report,
ignores essential features of the testimony and makes the
recommendation for a corrupt practises act, making a penalty of
ten years imprisonment and $4,000 fine for the failure of a member
Of the Legislature to report Immediately any attempt to buy or
influence his vote. How is anybody to know whether the legislator
has been approached corruptly if he doesn't give the information?
The man who wants to corrupt him won't tell. for obvious reasons,
and in such transactions the only witnesses are the brber and
the brfbetaker. After the expulsion of Senator Aids from the
New York Legislature at the last session it was expected that
there would be a genuine investigation of corruption at Albany
and a thorough exposure of other men known TO be implicated, but
the investigation has proved a farce.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
During the last campaign the Repub-
lican candidate for mayor took occa-
sion to speak of the extravaganza of
the city government under Mayor
Haussling's administration. Some
w~eak-minded individuals, those that do
not know anything about city govern
ment, undoubtedly believed these
chargesl That they were without cause
and therefore malicious has just been
demonstrated most luculently by the
sale of the city's bonds to local men.
Financiers of this city know exactly
where Newark stands financially. and
if there was any taste or unreliability
about the management of the city. the
local men could steer clear of the bonds.

THE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE LAW

eTa HE arrest of official employees of the Central Railroad and
Du Pont Powder Company on warrants issued from the
prosecutors Office in Hudson county on criminal charges IN
connection with the caamitous explosion of dynamite may or may

negligence that led TO the disaster is the gross negligence III the
law which made the safety of whole communities depend upon
the individual faithfnlness, watchfulness ad, Judgment of a few
men. The law is the real culprit. Feeble as the existing law is,
it was violated, and only the calamity disclosed the violation. The
railroad company, the powder company and the men engaged IN the
work could have gone right along violating the law and ordinance
every day, and nobody would have been the wiser. Officially, no
body took any note. Officially, 1t was nobodys business.

THE SENATE TAKES A LEAD IN LEGISLATION

Pts He State Senate has taken precedence of the Assembly in
matters of legislation that had been expected to originate in
the Assembly. The Senate was a week ahead of the lower
house in the introduction of bills, and this week Senate bills for
extension of the direct primary system We're reported ont of the
committee and placed on second reading, and will doubtless be
passed next Monday night. House committees have appeared inert
and there has seemed to be a lack of program and leadership among
the Democratic majority. Last year, when the Democrats were in
a minority, they were wide.awake and alert and quick to seize
every advantage. That unity of spirit has not vet been developed
at this session. A conference TO be held next Tuesday will doubt
less serve to stir up Democratic energies in legislation.

D~EBAUCHERY OF THE BALLOT IN ATLANTIC.

IN WITNESS in the Legislative investigation of election frauds
E\ in Atlantic City testifes that he saw some negroes vote
six times each at a polling place. They exchanged hats
and coats i'll doing SO, and each time they voted they re
ceived small blue tickets, on which they were paid money
IN a house across the street from the polling place. This
degradation of the ballot is hardly blamable upon the besottedly
ignorant negro, without the slightest conception of the obligations
of citizenship and without any sentiment of patriotism. The re
sponsibilhy rests upon the white men who bribed him to commit
the crime. If the law can avail to restrain the bride giver there
will be no temptatop for the weak and ignorant to sell his vote,
and one good effect will be the elimination from our elections If
an ignorant and vicious voting element that can we'll be spared.
