Economy That Hurts.

The reduction of the Dock Depart
ment's force 10y 353 men dismissed
yesterday is the sequel to the ctti-
cheney investigation of last year Orig.
inally it was proposed To discharge
these men on January /. they having
been condemned rs unnecessary en-
ployees. Commissioner SMITH. Pres
ident MCANENY and other city officers
succeeded in having them carried
over through the cold months. and in
the meantime places in other depart.
mentS were found for slXty-fivc of
those who were marked to 90.
1t is unfortunate that this radical
method of reducing the payroll has
been unavoidable to the city govern
ment. 4 wise provision and little
patience might have provided for re-
trcnchment through absorption, by al
lowing places to go untitled as they
fell vacant through death. resignation
or dismissal for cause. Yet the ne.
ceSsity for cutting expenses is always
before the Board Of Estimate. and the
victims of this wholesale housecean
ing are simply paying the price of
previous eXtravagances.
II Is to be hoped that with the pur.
pose Of future economies in mind the
city administration is now endeavor.
ing to keep the STATS of all the depart-
ments down to their real require.
ments and thus make unnecessary
such violent reforms as that which
bore fruit yesterday.

Samp the Road TO Wealth and Health.

To THE EpiroR OF THE SUS---Sir: The
letter Of r." in THE SUN OF to-day
concerning "iominy and Samp" calls TO
mind the fact that many OF us who are
over sixty ate about as much corn as
the hogs did when boys. Samp is In
dian corn Invested OF It's outside skin
or bran. and its germinal eye. the grain
being left whole or nearly SO. Samp
has one advantage over all other cereals,
1t never varies In price, II has always
been four and one-half cents a pound
ever since | can remember. In the good
old days the fireplace was used for cook
ing purposes, as wood was plenty, and
there was no coal or coal stoves. The
big, round bottomed iron pot hung on
a crane by the fireplace filled with samp.
stocked with good old fashioned home
picked pork, also corn fed. There used
to be jingle which ran thus:
Samp porridge hot. samp porridGe cold.
Samp porridge in the pot nine days old

CASE OF THE FAIR PLAY.
The British Schooner Condemned by
nm American Prize Court.

To THE EpiToR or THE SrN-Sir: Nm
able article in THE SUN speaks of Eng
lands efforts to strike at Germany being
no more irregular than the maritime
measures undertaken by Lincoln's Ad-
ministration In order to overcome the
Confeieracy, measures to which Eng
land as well as, no doubt, other coun-
tries submitted for the sake OF the
cause for which the North was lighting
and that at time when although the
Washington Administration had de-
clared IA blockade of the Confederate
ports II was not able to put 1t into effect.
! have taken some pains to obtain
the particulars OF "A vessel which was
seized and brought before prize court
and condemned at Philadelphia
The schooner Fair Play left st. John,
N. H., February Is. 1852. She was
registered at Halifax, n. s., owned by
Daniel J. Seely of st. John, n. B.. from
which port all the cargo was shipped.
The destination was Nassau and the
consignees Messrs. Henry Adderly & Co.
of that place. The cargo consisted
OF fish, onions, soap, leather, candies,
blankets, shirts. mustard. starch, blue
flannel, and contained no arms or am
munition of any sort or description. She
was seized on her way to Nassau In
the latitude of South Carolina. u prize
crew was placed on board, the ship and
cargo were taken to Philadelphia and
condemned and sold by a prize court
there.
The owner Of the vessel and shipper
of the cargo was well known in st.
John, y. -. where he had been In bust
ness for many years. The instructions
for the Fair Play were that after de-
livering her cargo In Nassau she should
proceed to Halifax for salt. No com
peusation was ever given the owner.
think this example Is about as good
a one as any person could desire of the
methods we adopted and at a time
when we were in nothing like the diffi-
culties which confront Great Britain in
view OF Germanys recent order.

A FRENCH HEROINE.
She Rivals the Exploits of the Russian
single Handed Trench Taker.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sb. My
opinion is that everybody must give
credit to your paper for being the
most up to date one In this city. There
is more interesting news and reading
matter on one page than one can find
in all the rest OF the newspapers together.
! wish to state that your article on to-
days editorial page referring to the
valor of the Russian Captain Suvaroff
is written In u sarcastic manner, but a
good many times In war similar valor-
Gus actions have been performed. which
on the face look fictitious. but which
really took plaVe.
Only about a week ago I heard from
relative who lives in the city of
Blois tGsronne) In France, and he
states in his letter that his daughter
Juliette Menteuse is daily serving hot
coffee to the French cavalry in the
trenches near Verdun. She carries n
large vessel from her house to these
trenches every afternoon around b
o'clock. She says that she would serve
tea instead, on account of the hour but
has no more tea leayes left
One afternoon she left her house
unconcerned az usual, when unexpect-
eddy German patrol appeared about
n mile away She Immediately jumped
behind large rock. where she found
broomstick. with which she expected
to defend herself against the Germans.
As soon as they arrived tthere were
twenty of them) she leveled the broom
stick at them. making believe that II
was n rapid fire gun. and told them to

after dropping their guns She now

What else has Wall street been re.
flcctlng than all this i'm its outburst
Of speculative confidence which many
observers seem to have found so sur
prising? There are those who say
that the stock market has gone mad,
that 1t is an absurd tumble of pre-
posterous expectation of early peace
abroad and unwarrantcd optimism
excited by the spectacle of business
which has been brought to this coun-
try by the war and will not survive
the conflict

great securities market of the world
which is actually open, and the Sc

which sway the minds Of men. AS an
index to the reading Of the signs Of

which Wall Street has been exhibiting
lately cannot be intclligently ignored

1906 Nonona Ave-, Fair Oaks, this
town, says: Before my baby was
born, l suffered terribly with womanly
troubles and nervousness, and was
living in a state of fear all the time.
One day, an old friend of mine,
who, by the way, is nurse, and goes
around to all cases, brought me bot
tie of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and
told me to keep on taking it right
along. l did, and felt much better
after the first bottle. l kept on taxi
ing it, and had as little trouble as
anybody could wish for. Feeling very
good now.
There never was a better medicine
for women than Cardui, and l will
recommend it to any one who is in
need of it. This nurse uses Cardui
with her patients, so it is well known
all around here.
l am never without a bottle Of
Cardui in my home"
We urge yoH to try Card-u-i, the
woman's tonic, for your troubles. 1t
will help you over the hard places,
just as it has thousands Of other

Don't delay. Begin taking Cardui
