LONG CONFLICT is EXPECTED.
Washington Administration Looks for
Continuance of Mexican Squabble.

Washington, April 23.-President
Wilson's appearance and demeanor at
this afternoons conference with the
newspaper correspondents was pre-
cisely what would have been expected
Of any other intelligent man in the
same serious circumstances.
The President was grave, and his
features indicated that the Mexican
crisis had affected him, but he did
not show any signs of excessive wear
mess. On the contrary, he was
plainly in good health and did not
seem to be in despairing or cast
down mood, although not denying
the gravity of the latest develop
ments. Secretary Tumulty's face
showed more evidence Of fatigue than
the Presidents.
Opinion Of Officers.
1t is the opinion OF practically
every military officer in WASHINGTON
that we are at the beginning of a long
and troublesome war with Mexico.
These officers have long regarded
such conflict as inevitable The,
believe that CarranZa and Villa WI
attack us just as Huerta has attacked
us, and that our task will increase
steadily in dimculty as we advance
into thc Interior of the country.
First Senator to Volunteer.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas. who
is next to the youngest man in the
Senate, to-day rendered his services
to President Wilson as volunteer
for military duty in Mexico. SO far
as known this is the only tender Of
the kind that has come from the Sen
ate since the present crisis arose.
There will doubtless be number
Of tenders from members Of the
House as the situation develops, but
the ages Of most Of the Senators put
them rather out of the reckoning for
military campaigns.

Look at Your Plumbing.

You know what happens in a house
in which the pumping is in poor
condition-everybody in the house is
liable to contract typhoid or some
other fever. The digestive organs
perform the same functions in the
human body as the plumbing does
for the house, and they should be
kept in first class condition all the
time. If you have any trouble with
your digestion take Chamberlain's

MEXICAN HOUSES FOR FORTS.
"Snipcrs" Find Second Story Walls
Grca6 Protection.

Washington, April 23.-Natural
features of the city Of Vera Cruz and
the character Of the buildings along
the water front there were largely
responsible for the loss OF life of
Ar rican bluejackets and marines
who landed there yesterday. This
opinion was expressed to-day by gov
ernment officials familiar with the
captured city.
Between the bay and the line Of
vacant space OF about 300 yards OF
beach open to fire from housctOps.
The custom house which can only be
reached by crossing the open space,
stands in this solid group of build
ings at the end Of one Of the two
long piers where the foreign mer-
chant ships land.
Like most of the structures in the
southern countries the fiat rooted
buildings, with their high coping,
form a veritable fortificati0n from
which rincmen may pick off those
below in comparative safety, shelter
ed by the high wall which surrounds
the edge Of the roof AS the blocks
are practically solid quite a formida-
bic troop can be mustered on the top
OF n square building.
1t was from this protected position
that the Mexican troops opened fire
on the blueiackets and marines.
The remainder of the city with it's
brick and plaster houses and its
straight asphalted streets, presents a
pretty picture. Trees are scarce,
their growth having been discour-
aged since the yellow fever epidem-
les, but the principal avenue which
stretches the entire length Of the
town and out into the suburbs is
lined with cocoa palms. The princi-
pal business street as well is border.
ed by rows of palms and almond
trees.
Along the wharves the buildings
are not unprepossessing structures,
uniformly brick, two-storied and fiat
rooted.
This natural fortification, officials
who have recently returned from
Vera Cruz believe, saved the lives of
many Of the blueiackets and marines,
as well as Mexicans, although the
landing division was made up of
some of Uncle Sans best marksmen.
The scattered and disorganized re-
sistance on the part of the Mexicans
is, in the opinion of these officials.

No Redeemine Feature In Gossip.

Louisiana Democrat
There is absolutely no redeeming feat
ure in gossip. Even true, we do not desire
to know disagreeable things about our
neighbors. Nothing is more demoralizing
to man than to lose faith in his fellows.
The man of faith and honor is not apt to be
suspicious of others, and does not willing
ly believe evil. The lover of scandal and
immortality and the believer in it, alike de-
ficient in honor and morality, are the bane
of we'll organized society. If all gossips
could be quietly killed some morning the
next generation of men and women would
be happier. A case of hydrophobia now
and then starts the cry of ''muzzle the
dogs!" Death on the highways! There
is death and mysery in the highways and
byways and the homes from the poisoned
tongues of the gossips. Let the voices go
up, ''muzzle the gossips." Teach the chill
dren gossiping is dishonorable and that
faith in the honor and virtne of mankind
will build up society and add to the sum
of human happiness.

The first reference to an isthmus canal is
that of Antonio Galvao, who in 1850 pub
lished book demonstrating the ACCESSIBILITY
of such canal. The year following the
Spanish historian, De Gomera, submitted
memorial to Philip H., urging in forcible
language that the work be undertaken with
out delay. In 1880 Alexander Won Hum
bolt, Germon, examined the isthmus and
pointed out the lines which he considered
worthy of study. In 1880 a concession
was granted to a Dutch corporation, under
the special palmage of the king of Neither
lands to construct canal through Nicar-
aqua, but the scheme fell through.
Americans made the first actual survey.
The French were the fast to begin actual
work.

Death by Gossip.

Memphis Commercial Appeal
sThere is a set of malicious, prating,
prudent gossips,' remarks Sheridan in
ssThe School of Scandal, ''both male and
female, who murder to kill time, and who
rob young fellow Of his good name before
he has years enough to know the value of
it."
Last week an Ohio woman shot herself
because gossiping neighbors made her life
miserable.
Less than year ago a young girl in
Philadelphia of beautiful character, whose
life was the clean and pure life of any
honest girl, was made the mark of a Cos
sips tongue. Unsigned letters were sent
throush the mail to her neighbrs, assailing
her character. Even the secret service
men of the govergment could not find the
evil minded gossip. In the end the young
girl, so racked with worry and so helpless
to defend herself against these masked as
sauIts, killed herself.
The coroner would have been justified in
ordering verdict of death by gossip.
The curse of the world to-day is the
habit of gossiping. Truth is not exciting
enough for some people. They depend
upon the character aud lives of their neigh
UaIFS lOF IllSiI dtnuoSLiCut' mOT0 duu tuOEC
the fact is impressed upon US that if all
persons know what each said of the other
there would be but few friends in this
world.
| In the case of two women who destroyed
| themselves to escape the evil tongue of
gossip there is ample room for sympathy.
1t was extremity of folly to resort to suicide,
about the poorest answer possible to give
malicious gossips. 1t looks too much like
confession. -
| On the other hand, mental torture drives
men and women to extreams, and especially
with a woman whose virture is her greatest
jewel. She cannot stand the pricks and
stings of scandal like man. She is help
less when her honor is assailed. She can
protest, but there will always be some one
who will believe that there must be grounds
for the charges so maliciously made.
Narrow minded and ignorant, persons
talk about their acquaintance and neigh
\ bors and not about facts. This is who Cos
sip is the bane and disgrace of so large a
portion of society.
Gossiping is a low, frivolous, disgusting
dirty business and should be discouraged
by all self-respecting men and women. Il
can do no possible good and can do ar
endless lot of harm. 1t is about the mos
contemplate weapon obtainable. There
is no defence but to ignrre it, and it take:
a determined character to ignore sucf
malicious attacks.

FAILURE IN SUCCESS.

Success is the god we moderns worship.
But what a failure is success, after all.
Money never satisfies the soul. William H.
Vanderbilt, although possessed of a for
tune variously estimated at from $500, OOO,-
O00to $500, 000,0 900. was SO annoyed because
he and Robert Garrett, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, could not come to an
agreement that he fell in a fit of apoplexy
and died in five minutes.
Worldly pleasure is portion which can
not satisfy the soul. The words of Solomon
find an echo in the hearts of most men:
'The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor
the ear filled with hearing" When the
merrymaking of yesternight lived only in
the misery of the morning he said: "Much
laughter is mad; and such mirth, what
doeth it?''
Theodore Hook, who makes US laugh
when we read his poems, could not make
his own heart laugh. While in the midst
of his festivities he confronted a looking
glass, saw himself, and said: "There,
that's true. l look just as l am, done up
in body mind and purse"
Fame cannot satisfy the soul. Fame is
half disfame, Walter Scott, in his last
days, fumbling for his inkstand, cried to
his daughter: "Oh, take me back to my
room: there is no rest for Sir Walter but
in the gravel
Napoleon, who strobe the world like a
Colossus, after laying half Europe under
his feet-was he satisfied? No; his sue
cesses merely whetted his appetite for new
conquests; so that in his Unsuitable ambi-
ton to conquer the world he lost all-the
despot of the world was flung aside, and
at last banished to st. Helena, where he
died disappointed and broken hearted.
None of his critics ever said anything
more severe of heartless Bismarck than
this which he wrote of himself: Nobody
loves me for what have done. I have
never made anybody happy, nor myself
nor my family, nor anybody else. But
for me three great wars would not have
been fought, eighty thousand men would
not have persisted. Parents, brothers, sis
tiers and widows would not be bereaved and
plunged into mourning. l have had little
or no JOY from all my achievements; moth
ing but vexation, care and trouble"
Intellectual achievements cannot fill the
soul. The learned Newton said: 81 feel
like a little child amusing itself, finding
here and there a smooth pebble and bril-
liant shell, while the great ocean of truth
lies UNEMPLOYED before me-" Professor
Huxley writes: "The known is finite, the
unknown is infinite. Intellectually we
stand on an isiet in the midst of an illimit-
able ocean of inexplicability. Our bust
ness in every generation is to reclaim q
little more land, to add something to the
extent and solidity of our possessions"
Why is it that the world can never quiet
mans restless spirit? Why is it impossible
for earthly things to fill up the void in his
heart? Does it not show that man was
made for that which the world cannot give:
