Wreck of the Memphis.

The extraordinary accident to the
cruiser Memphis, driven on the rocks OF
Santo Domingo harbor Tuesday after
noon by series of heavy swells, brings
to mind the Apia disaster OF 1889, in
which American and German warships
were lost by an equally sudden and vlo-
lent but different oceanic freak. At Apia,
however, the vessels imperilled made at
least try for safety by steaming sea-
ward against the hurricane that struck
them. In the present case the steam
apparatus gave way and deprived snip
and crew of their chance of safety.
In service organized so highly as
the navy there can be no such thing as
accidents. Steam was up, providing
against just such an unlikely contingen-
CIV as occurred The failure OF the steam
plant to continue in operation when
needed may reflect upon an individual
or upon the present naval system. lt
will of coure be investigated and the
public will know where the fault lay.
The deaths and injuries among sail
ors are the feature of the mishap that
Is most keenly felt. Nqt less important
is the momentary doubt cast upon the
routine efficiency of American warships.
Much as the navy has suffered in the
past few years, it is still supposed to
be able to get about. Official inquiry
will clear up any possible uncertainty on
this point.-New York Evening sun

The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to De
proved. But the proof came, and grad
uallv the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds OF
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is
the standard medicine for women.

Candy in Pals.

Summer, when new ideas appear so
rapidly in the candy shops, is showing
among the latest notions small wooden
Dutch pals or tubs filed with variety
OF small packages of candies. In some
of the pals favors are also included; the
latter are especially nice for bon voy-
age gifts. The pals are tinted in past
Ell colors and decorated with somewhat
futuristic flowers in gayer tints. Unlike
the average pail, these are wider at the
bottom than at the top. They make
very nice sand pals, however, for the
children at the shores, after they are
emptied of their original freight.

effort is required for the public welfare would be
harmful beyond calculation.
The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country as whole is beyond measure or appraise-
ment at this time and agree with the insistent and
widespread public concern over the gravity OF the
situation and the consequences of surrender by the
railroads in this emergency. -
In like manner we are deeply impressed with the
sense of our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries of transportation, which carry the life
blood of the commerce of the country, and OF the
consequences that will flow from even temporary
INTERRUPTION of service the railroads, but the
issues presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest upon those that provoke it.

the President may fix not, however, less than three
months. e Az
declaration made by the President, accepting the
hour day not only upon the railroads and the classes
of labor involved directly in this controversy but TO
the public and upon all industry, it seems plan that
before the existing conditions are changed the whoe
