Special to the Review

Special to the Review
Washington, July 16.-Few new
Congressman ever had so large a net
result to their credit, to show for
their efforts in behalf of their con-:
stituents; as can be claimed by, Will,
liam Kettner of San Diego, Cal. But
Just at this time Congressman kett-
ner is not rejoicing over the =consum-
nation of any plans Of his own; he
is Dragging about the people of his
home town-beg pardon, City
which voted, only.a few days ago,
by the overwhelming odds of sixteen
t. one and better. to issue $3.50, 900
in municipal bonds to carry on the
plans of the San Diego Exposition.
81 knew they'd do it," exclaimed
Congressman kettner: those peo-
pie are not welchers. They make
good. It's one thing to vote bonds
for schools, hospitals. sewers or
water W orks, but when people 90
down into their own pockets to pay
for an expositioe, to make good their
promises to the world, it's going
some,' and especially when they
have already voted one bond issue
of 81, 100000, and, subscribed an
other million. ,>
RUSH TO GET SPACE
1t is disclosing no condolences to
say that San Diego never expected
that its Panama Exposition would
attain its present proportions. But
it has now become strictly interna-
tional, fifteen foreign governments
having signifed their desire to Sc
cure space to date. Beside this there
will be individual state exhibits,
eleven states having accepted the
invitation to participate.

From Dartmouth CoI,eoe.

Kelsey EdgertOn, auditor and treas
urer Of the famous old Dartmouth
College at Hanover, n. H., was here
Sunday and spent the day visiting
with his old New England friend, -.
II. Smith. Mr.. Edgerton stated that
Dartmouth would add something more
than a half million dollars to the
LuiidIngs and equipments of the COL
lege this year. His visit to the
south is to ,ook out after investments
for the endowment fund of the col
lege. The institution has an endow-
lnent fund of probably two millions
of dollars. 1t was founded in 1863
and now has an attendance of 1875
boys and two girls. Mr.. Edgerton
stated that Oklahoma securities look
ed good to him and he will probably
invest some OF the endowment fund
in securities of this state.

SurrIse Party.

Mrs. William Pfeilfer gave her
neice. Miss Ray Flashman, delight
ful surprise on Monday evening VIXEN
she entertained half dozen couples
in her honor
Miss F1ashman had not the least
idea that her aunt anticipated giving
party and the girls invited proved
beyond a shadow of a doubt that a
woman can keep secret.
In order that Miss F!ashman might
be ready to receive her guests Mrs,
Pfeiffer made up fictitious party
to the theatre.
AS the first couples began TO come
in, it was with some little regret
that the hOnoree resigned all hope of
getting off 10 the theatre, but when
it finally dawned upon Ler that a
real party was about to begin she
was delighted.
Five hundred was played in inter
esting progression.
Ben Stephens made high score and
received Il decorated calendar.
Georgia Simpson made lowest
score and was given a book mark.
Miss May -.scaE, VINO leaves soon
for Kansas, received as favor a piece
Of Mexican pottery.
Paul keicher received a blotting
pad
A dainty luncheon was served,
when the guests received their sur
prise with the last course. Mrs.
Pfeiffer brought in the birthday cake
on which burned eighteen candles.
None of the guests knew it was
Miss Fiashman's birthday.
Each blew out a candle and made
wish for the honoree.

the best camp ever furnished By any
city for the Confederate reunion.
The tents will be along regularly

names on guide posts and each tent
will be numbered, so as to be easily
found. Every veteran will be fur

name and regiment, the camp street

Poison In the blood used to break

assesses and ulcers, but since the
Introduction of s. S. S. there is no
more trouble And even If 1t Is only
Il slight attack II would eventually
mean loss OF hair. loose teeth. sore
gums, mucous patches, copper splotches
and the most intense degree OF agony
II S. S. S. were not used. OF course
some cases OF Contagious Blood Poison
do not exhibit the extreme superficial
effect but the trouble Is they are apt
TO do so in Just a day. The eyesight
fades, the hair falls out, the bones
become liberated, thousand and one

then there can be no question as TO
the nature of the disease.

water pipes musc be laid. Some
seventy-five water barrels Will be
scattered through the camp and iced
frequently.
To illustrate how much help will
be necessary during the reunion. each
comfort station must have an attend
ant on hand constantly, and several
men will be required to look out for
the water barrels. In order that there
be plenty of cool water at all times.
1t is estimated that seventy-five
men working two weeks can put up

If you are signing for lofty work,
If great ambitions dominate your
mind,
Just watch yourself and see you do
not shirk
The common little ways OF being
kind.
If you are dreaming of future goal.
When. crowned with glory, men
shall owe your power,
Be careful that you let no struggling
soul
Go by unaided in the present hour.
If you are moved to pity for the earth
And long to aid it, do not look SO
high
You pass some poor, dumb creature
faint with thirst:
All life is equal to the eternal eye.
If you would help to make the wrong
things tight
Eegin at home; there lies life
time toll.
Weed your own garden fair for all
mems sight
Before you plan to till another's
soil.

Unconscious Humor.

The annals of unconscious pulpit
humor will be enriched by an instance
furnished some little time ago at St.
Johns church, Keswick, England. A
lady's watch has been found in the
churchyard, and the vicar, in making
his usual weekly announcements from
the pulpit, referring to the find, stated
that the watch could be claimed in
the vestry. The next announcement
was: I'VE will sing hymn No 1852:

DEMOCRATS QUIET,
TARIFF WORK FAST
Should Pass Senate BY August
IS, Is Prediction Made BY
Senator Williams.

'The tariff bill should pass the Sem
ate by August Is, and be on the sta
tute books by September l." declared
Senator Williams of Mississippi today,
pointing to the apparent surcess of
the Democratic plan to make the
minority do all of the debating.
I'VE shall probable have only one
more general discussion from the ma
jority standpoint, and that will be
made by Senator Shiveley of Indiana.
For the rest, we are under an ordi-
nance of self-denial."
Senator Works resumed his speech
on the tariff bill this afternoon when
ton of the Senate. The California
Senator dealt chiefly with the reduc-
tions on citrus fruits beet sugar, and
other products of his own State
These reductions,-- Senator Works
strongly opposed He presented figures
on the beet sugar industry intended to
show it would be injured by the re-
duction Of duty.
Slow progress was made Yesterday on
the consideration of the bill in de-
tall. A number of items in the chem
ical schedule were discussed and this
schedule will be taken up again today
when general speeches are concluded.
Senator Townsend will speak Mon
day, Senator Gronna for two hours On
Tuesday. and Senator Lippitt probably
Wednesday,
The country is pretty we'll pleased at
the dearth OF long discussions Of the
tariff just now" remarked Senator
Clapp, 'and I am not going to disturb
the holiday spirit-at least not right
away"

MARTIN ASSA|LS
BURLESON ORDER
Virginia Senator Insists on
Postoffice at Bristol-Cites
Reasons.

Senator Martin today sharply criti-
cised the order of Postmaster General
Burleson to discontinue the postofflce
at Bristol. Va. on the Virginia side Of
the line. A protest was made to the
President yesterday by Virginia dele
cation headed by Senator Martin.
Senator Martin said:
"Of course, there is a great deal OF
sentiment against striking down a post
office in a municipality organized under
the Virginia law, but there is something
more than sentiment and State pride, as
sufficient as those considerations would
be. 1t must be remembered that this
Virginia city has a population of more
than 1000 ,and without a postoffice at
Bristol, Va, the business interest there
would be terribly handicapped.
The schools, colleges, churches pub
fishing houses, in that locality are to
be subordinated, disparaged and al
most crushed out IL the Postoffice De-
partment insists on its present policy.
1t is true a small economy might re-
suit, but greater economy would
be accomplished IL the office at Jersey
City were discontinued and the peo-
pie OF that city served through a sub
station from New York. Indeed, such
a rolicy would necessarily lead to
the dIscontinuance of all Offices near
State lines. Alexandria would go
promptly.
I'VE have been laboring under the
impression that the postoffice service
was established to furnish facilities and
ccnveniences for the people, and to pro-
mote their comfort There should be
economy in the service as far as pos
sible, bit the service should not be de-
stroyed to economize a few dollars
THE Virginia delegation was treated
with great consideration by the Presi-
dent, and they feel confident that he
will heed the appeal which has been
presented to him. Nearly every MEM
Der of the Virginia delegation in Con-
gress was in attendance. Let the Ad-
ministration see to 1t that justice is
done and that the pride of the Old Com
monwealth is not Inundated by a cruel
discrimination"
