TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1900.

THE friends of Samuel L. Powers du not rest their case entirely on the local Ity poiut, by any manner of meaus, but upon the fact of his superior ability. It is claimed that be is so well equipped for the position that he will make a mark of distinction in the National house, because of his honesty of dealing. his purity of motive, his rare oratorical genius and consummate gemality, nudl that he will keep pace with the other members of the Massachusetts dele gation.

A LARGE section of this district has united ou S. L. Powers for Congressman. and the least that can be said of him is that he is equal in ability, character and standing to any candidate Brookline has presented. Even Brookline must con cede this, and outside of that town he is recognized as one of the most abie men in the district, aud as an orator or de. hater he surpasses any representative this district has had in many years. The ofunion that Newton people have of him Is shown by the fact that they have choseu him to about every office in the city aud the only reason he has not held more offices, is because he refused to ac- cept them. He has lived in Newton for twenty years and has steadily grown in the estimation of the people, and has shown a broad minded and progressive spirit that has placed him a: the head of social and professional life in Newton. Newton people are slow to take up with Dew men, but when a man sbows bim- self worthy of confidence, they grant tt Dogrudgingly, and Mr. Powers has steadily grown in popularity during bis Life in Newton. Professionally he has met with unusual success, and the Re- publicaus of the district, have prevailed upon him to be a candidate, and have pledged hnm t eir support. There is bnt little doubt that he will receive the nomination, buth because he is so well qualified for the position, and because the nomination clearly belongs this year to Middlesex county -Newton Graphic.

When the war and all that bas been associated with it comes to be summec up, comments a London paper, it wil be found that the part which womer. have played in it will be by no means an insignificant one. It has ofter been said by those who love to team women that it is perfectly ridiculous of them ever to talk of equality with the other sex unless they are pre- pared to dare all that becomes a man and take their share of soldlering with him. But when the present campaign is over and the work which had been done one way or another by women is reviewed-if, indeed, a.} that they have done is ever fully known and rec- ognized-the champions of the sex will certainly be able to retort that tbongh they may not bare worn khaki uniforms and handled lee- metfords and forded rivers and stormed with shot and shell, yet they have in dif- ferent ways taken a very active and important share in the campaign.

It Is reported that a number of wealthy sportsmen of Bridgeport, Conn., have sent to Kansas for 60 dozen qnail. As soon as the birds arrive they will be taken out in batches and bib- erated at various points in the sur- rounding country. They cost $4 2 dozen, and it is expected that when l'berated they will be easily able to maintain themselves. Quais mate in Apr'l and May. Each pair will pro duce two broods of ten or twe've hires each during the aummer and early fall The Bridgeport men think that ahont 6 per cent. f the young will survive, so that in the fau there will be about 3,000 quail to k' ] when the law is off.

The New Yorkers have a queer idea of what constitutes insanity. A wealthy woman who made a formal call the other fay. clad in ber night gown, is put down as insane. while a woman who named her tw boys lub- ert Rapid Transit Behrend an Wil- liam Rapid Transit Behre d is credit- ed with the poise sion of normal rea- woning faculties.

Lighining Telegraph

one finds the greatest achievements ot the telegraph, but in the speed with which ordinary business is tra isacted. Thus the stock and produce exchanges of New York and thicago have the closest possible connection. There is a vast amount of communication he tween the exchanges of the two citie: every day, and the telegraph companies have their offices on the flo rs of the ex changes. It is on record that messages have been sent from the New York produce exchange to the Chicago prod- uce exchange, and answers received in 15 seconds. When one reflects that for

these were ordinary messages, which no special preparation made, and that the operation involved the writing out of the messages at each end of the line and their delivery to the persons to whom they were addressed. the result seems marvelous,-Ainslee's Magazine.

Siek of Seeing Blood.

Gunner S. Ward. of the Seventy-eighth battery, roval field artillery, writing of the difficulties before Gen. Buller's re- Lief column, to the London Leader, says that the opinion generally held is that one man in a trench is worth 15 in the open. "To tell the truth," he says "I'm sick and tired of seeing so much blood. I've seen legs, arms and heads knocked off cleaner than one could cut them off. There's no mistake. it's some- thing terrible. We dug a shell out of the ground weighing exactly 100 pounds, and it was 12 inches in diame- ter. That same shell killed three mules, one bullock. an Indian native, and one native severely wounded. All that dam- age done without it bursting."

Valne of Diamonds.

An idea of the great increase in the cost of diamonds imparted by the la- bor of polishing and mounting. as well as by the pronte of traders, may be obtained hy comparing their price at the mines in South Africa with the price in the jewelry shops. A diamond weighing one carat, mounted i ring, says the Youth's Compan- ion, may cost the buyer $100 or more. but at Kimberley the average value of diamonds is only $6.33 per carat. The value, of course, varies with the size and purity of the stones, but the total valne of the 22,845 carats of diamonds found in the Transvaal in 1898 was only $212,812, an average of $3.32 per carat.

Too Literai hy Far.

People who take things literally are apt to tread on other people's toes. The Irishman who walked in where he saw a sign "Walk In." and who was or- dered out by the lawyer, was a litera man, and so was the man who went into a pawnbroker's shop and de manded $10 because there was a pla card in the window that read: "Look at this watch for $10."

"I looked at it." said be. "and now 1 want my $10."-Golden Days.

"I don't think Mrs. Betterdays ever enjoyed her money so much as she does now."

"Why. she lost her money some years ago."

"True, but then, you see. i: bas sup- plied her with an unfailing topic of conversation ever s'nce."-Kansas City Independent.

MUST BE FORTIFIED.

Defense of Isolated Coaling Stations Is Advocated.

T. H. Gignilliat, Graduate of the Na- val Academy, ArKurs That It Would Be n Real Econ-

In discussing the importance of isolated coating docks and their de- fense, T. Il. Giguilliat, a graduate of the naval academy, says: "There i now no other way by which economy of warships can be effected great in the eveut of hostilities thau by the fortification of isolated voaling sta- tions. It is probable that in the muat- ter of uctual economy in the protec- tion of hurbors the ratio Is as great us ten to one in favor of loud defenses. that ia to say. $500,000 expended ut a place like Pearl harbor would proba- bly in time of war leave vessels cost- ing $5, 40,000 or more free to go wherever they would otherwise he of the most service, and such fortitica- tions would he vastly more formida- ble to an attacking fleet than a hat- tleship or cruiser costing ten times as much. In other words, for $300,000 batteries of mortars and disappearing guns more powerful than the batter- ies of our largest battleships could be emplaced at auy coaling station. wbich, being more impregnable und having greater stability, with proper handling would outtight any battle. ship that could be built. Until the United States navy' is greatly in- creased this will be a juost important consideration, especially in cuse we should he in danger of hostilities with first-class naval power.

"The value of shore batteries was more than ever established in the war with Spain, even by the doubtful de- fenses built by that government. Eng. land has forseen the necessity of ac- tions if she has foreseen nothing else in warfare. With her fortresses at Halifax, Bermuda, Nassau and Gibral- tar, and with the Azores probably un- der her control in time of war by treaty with Portugal, she dominates the the Atlantic beyond present hope of competition But with Alaska. Aleutians, Pearl Harbor. Pango Pan- go, Guam aud Cavite in our hands we can and ought to dominate the Pa- cific, and the way is to do in the Pa- cific what the English have done in the Atlantic and in the Mediterra- nean

"With the aid of modern fortifica- tions, selected places like Pearl Har- bor, Pango Pango and Guam may soon become to the United States as im- portant as Bermuda and Malta are to England. For the garrisoning of such fortifications battalions of ma. rines, after the training they get on board ship, will make the most effi- cient set of heavy artillerymen in the world."

HEIR TO A BIG ESTATE.

Walter Adamson Suddenly Finds That He Has Become a Very Rich Man.

Walter Adamson, a citizen of Du- rand, Mich., is heir to $1.000.000 and more and has been wandering about the country for years unconscious of this fact. He was standing in the cor- ridor of the Boody house, in Toledo. O., when he chanced to pick up a New York Niper and began to look over its pages. Suddenly his face lighted up and he said to a bystander: "Well, that's surely my picture, and I am sure. ly the Walter Adamson advertised for." He says that years ago he left the Empire state for the west and has drifted from place to place so that his relatives have not been able to keep track of him.

In 1702. when Queen Anne ascendeo the throne. John Adamson, a wealthy citizen, died in London and his estate has been handed dows until E. B. Humphreys, of New York, found that Alexander Adamson was the only liv- The ing heir and had several children. of whom the Michigan man is one. elder Adamson died in 1949 and the relatives have heen looking for the wanderer since that time. Adamson immediately left for New York to claim his vast wealth. He has been connected with the L'nion News com. pany.

WAX INSOLENT IN PROSPERITY

Cahmen lu Parle Not Only Ruise Their Prices But Insatt Pus- sengers.

With the exhibition in full hlast Paris cabmen are not only exorbitant in their charges but are often insult- ing. Mile, Jane Hading had a little experience with one of theni the otber day, Having taken a street cah. she called on various tradexpeople, and at last pulled up before a dress- maker's establishment in the Rue Laitbout Mlle. Hading was ahont to go into the shop when cabby called: "You mist give me fare, How do I know that you are not going to alip out another door?"

"But-" said Mlle, Hading.

"I don't want no 'buts,'" retorted the insolent jehu. 'I know who you are I have seen vour name often enough on the playhi ls. That don't ma" ter. Come, fork out!" It is needless to say the money was immediately given and the cabman's number was taken. the popular ac. tress having to find another convey- ence in which to return home.

WAY STATIONS.

The Mexican government, accord- ing to the Railway and Engineering Review, has isaued au order that rail- ways must adopt a uniform coupler for freight cars. Other measures to prevent accidents to train hnnds have been taken.

A million and a balf yellow willow cuttings have been purchased by the Santa Fe Railroad company to be planted on both sides of an emhank- ment west of Stockton, Cal., for a dis- tance of eight miles, to protect the embankment from damage by floods. The Louisiana supreme court has decided that the warehouse business is not incidental to the business of a railroad as n common carrler, says the Railway and Engineering Review, and that railroads are therefore estopped from conducting a warehouse busi- nesa.

Tbe i.rowingly permitting by a sleeping car porter of a valise to re- main In the aisle of a dimly lighted car, obstructing the passage, so that n passenger, who has a right to na- sume the passage safe, stumbles over the valise and is injured, the general term of the city court of New York holds, Levien vs. Webh, 61 N. Y. Supp. 1,113, constitutes negligence for which the master will be responsible.

MATTERS OF NO MOMENT.

There are nearly 200 democratic newspapers in North Carolina. Congresmen and senators hnve 15 .- 000,00 packages of seed to distribute among their rural constituents. Imports into the ['nite.] States from Samoa during last April amounted to $13 in value; exports to Samon were valued at $3.5-7.

Iu the surgical history of our civil war a curious case is recorded in which three officers were hit just at the same time. One had his leg from the knee down carried away, but he rode ten miles to the hospital. Another lost bis little finger, and he became a raving lunatic. The third was shot through the body, and, though he did not shed & drop of blood externally, dropped Read from the shock.

One of the castern novelties is a play- house for children. It is nine feet six Inches in length, six feet four inches in width and eight feet nine inches in height. They are made of white pine and are painted with one coat of paint outside. They are provided with a door and windows which can be changed at will. The house can be built in an hour and taken down in 20 minutes, no nailing or carpentry being required. They are wind and waterproof and would undoubtedly furnish an excel- lent out of door study for an adult.

ELECTRICAL NOTES.

Electric traction will be used on the Berlin elevated railroads.

An electric trolley will be laid be- tween Milan and Varese, Italy.

It has been found that alternating currents of high frequency and low potential may be used to sterilize liquids.

A resident of Philadelphia has re- cently obtained a verdict of $15,000. through the instrumentality of the X- rays. The plaintiff was injured on a street railway car. Dr. M. K. Kassa- bian was the X-ray expert in the case. The work of the signal corps of the army in the Philippine islands bas been excellent. The corps has handled an average of 2,500 dispatches each day since the American army landed at Manila, and the maximum was 4,000 on November 6.

The plans for the new Philadelphia mint call for a large equipment of electrical machinery including 14 45- horse power motors for the coining department. 16 five-horse power cut- ting motors, six 25-horse power finish- ing motors; and one five-horse power hydraulic motor. An electro-refining equipment is desired for the melting and refining departments.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes.

The kidneys are your blood purifiers. they fil- ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu- matism come from ex- cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble. because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their hegin- ning in kidney trouble.

If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized, It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits
