Davis of this city received notice today of the death of their father, Edward M. Davis, at Romany, Virginia.

He was a member of long standing in the Alpha lodge and No. 424 Knights of Pythias at Wheeling, W. Va. The City of Great Britain. Unless we command the sea we cannot keep open the roads by which our people are fed. Britain has in effect ceased to be a country. She is now, considered from the political and military point of view, a city, though a city with very large parks and pleasaunces and kitchen gardens In which to gTow her flowers, fruits and vegetables. A city, from the point of view of war, may be described as a placo which if besieged long enough must fall, since supplies once consumed cannot be replenished. Britain answers to this description. The moment the sea roads to her are closed by an enemy she is. ipso facto, in a state of siege. Face to face with a need s imminent, It would be madness for us to give any consideration to what we hope or believe are the intentions of this or that foreign power. All that we can rightly do in considering how to secure our national safety and independence is to count ships and guns and to compute the units of naval efficiency. London Spectator. A Sliootinsc Gallery Secret. "Do you see this glass ball?" said the shooting gallery man. It was a ball of hollow glass, an airy glass soap bubble, that had swung all season at the end of a thread In the foreground of the clay pipes, bolls and what not that had made up the gallery's targets. "This glass ball," tie man went on, "Is my great money maker. All season long people tried to hit this ball it was big-gor and nearer than any other target and everybody failed. Thousands of bullets were fired at the ball, thousands of nickels were spent on it, yet hero it is, still untouched, my best breadwinner. All wise shooting gallery men have a glass ball like this. It makes such a tempting target, yet it is never hit. It is never hit because the air that precedes? a gun charge is sufficient to blow the ball aside, out of the way. You might fire a hundred shots at It, but, like a living thing, like a timid soldier, for instance, it would dodge each shot." Mary Andersoa'a Voice. Miss Anderson's voice was always her predominant charm. Certain tones In it so thrilling, so full of wild pas sion and Inexpressible melancholy went straight to the heart and brought tears Into the eyes. The voice is the exponent of the soul. You can paint your face, you can pad your person. you can wear a wig, you can walk in shoes that augment your height, you can in various ways change your body, but your voice will sooner or later re veal you as you are. Just as the style of the writer discloses his character, so the quality of the voice discloses the actor's nature. It seems unlikely tnat Miss Anderson s melting, tragic tones were uttered in any of her girl ish impartments, but the copious, love ly voice was there, and it gained her first victory. William Winter in Sat urday Evening Post. Ilnnnjiif; as Exercise. The fact that a person Is capable of doing the best running and speed walking before the thirtieth year need not lead those who have passed the third decade to think that they are on the down grade of life, says an author ity. These exercises call for elasticity of the arteries, and that lessens soon after the thirtieth year, but powers of endurance Increase in the well pre served man or woman up to fifty or fifty-five or even later. Soldiers of fif ty are like leather and can perform feats of endurance that would kill the stripling, and the same is true of women. Bine Eye. That the color of the eyes should af fect their strength may seem strange. yet that such is the case need not a this time of day be doubted, and those whose eyes are brown or dark colored should be informed that they are weaker and more susceptible to inJury from various causes than gray or blue eyes. Light blue eyes are generally the most powerful, and next to those are gray. The lighter the pupil the greater and longer continued is the degree of tension the eye can sustain. A Brave Singer. "I tell you," said one man to another as they emerged from the dimly lighted corridor of a concert hall. "I envy that fellow who was singing." "Envy him !" echoed the other. "Well, If I were going to envy a singer I'd select somebody with a better voice. Ills was about the poorest I ever heard." "It'9 not his voice I envy, man," wa3 the reply. "If s his tremendous courage." Site's the "It." The Lancashire clergyman who recently left the word "obey out of the marriage service gives as his reason that he does not wish "women to start married life at a disadvantage. But it really matters little in practice. It has long been understood that, though a man and his wife are one, the wife ia that one. London Globe.

mm flQW THIGKENS Strange Case of Alleged Asphyxiation Begins to Look Peculiar. CHLOROFORM THEORY HELD Police Now Working On Supposition That There May Have Been Foul Play. The Whiting mystery regarding Miss Ida Gord and Mrs. Wybern and her family who barely escaped deatli as the result of deadly fumes that tilled the oora may be solved in a sensational manner. The police are now uisposeu to the chloroform theory. The people who live up stairs in the Close fiat have taken a very peculiar ttitude in regard to the matter and inist that the fumes came from gas pipes which were down stairs in the storeroom. Mr. Close, who owns the flat, insists hat there is no possible way for gas to escape in the store room ana to prove his claim he naa several em ployes of the South Shore Gas, investi gating. The result of their work is he report that there is no leak in any of the pipes and that if there was gas n the room, its source was not the gas mains. The fact that the victims of this peculiar accident insist on claiming that the gas came from below when t is proved conclusively that it did not, is peculiar. There is one feature about the case that may have something to do with the solution of the mystery. It is known that Mrs. Wybern, who was the guest of Miss Ida Gord at the time, had been recently, divorced from her husband with whom she had had considerable difficulty. Of course the police are not openly charging that this may shed some light on the case but they are investigating the matter along these lines. LAST WORDS OF CANDIDATES. New York, Nov. 5. The independent or vest pocKet vote oi me state oi New York, which does not go around proclaiming its intention to vote for either party, is today, worrying both republicans and democrats alike. It's big enough in the State to throw the election to either Hearst or Hughes. In spite of the fact that Mr. Hearst's manager asserts victory is assured to Hearst by not less than 200,000, and the statement of Timothy Woodruff that it looks like a landslide for Hughes both of the prognosticators are wondering who is to get the "vest pocket' vote. Mr. Hearst says he expects New York City will furnish 150,000 plurality. Chairman William J. Connors of the democratic state committee figures on a tidal wave that will elect Hearst by 10,000. His estimate credits Hughes with a plurality of only 40,000 above the Bronx. Charles F. Murphy still insists that Hearst will have from 80,000 to 100,000 in the greater city. Mr. Hughes has expressed himself several times recently as being confident of election. He will not talk about figures. William Barnes, jr., state committeeman, gives it as his opinion that Hughes will have a plurality of 200,000. The Herald, however, presents its canvass made throughout the state, which indicates that Mr. Hughes will have a plurality of about 144,000 in fifty-seven counties outside of Greater New York. McCarren of Brooklyn denounced the candidate in public speeches and has declared Mr. Hearst could not be elected poundmaster in his native state. The burden of Mr. Hearst's speech at Madison Square theater to the election day watchers yesterday, who total 3,330, was, "Be alert for every doubtful voter on election day." Mrs. E. L. Shortridge announces that she has resumed her classes in water color and china painting. Class days are Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. MRS. E. L. SHORTRIDGE, 10-30-5t 121 East Clinton St. To Kill Dandelions. The best means, and surest, is to dig up, root and all. This is tediqus, however, and expensive. Try, in case the digging process is not employed, the sulphate of iron solution. Use a good-sized handful to three gallons of water and sprinkle this over an area of 20 feet square. It will not injure the grass and will kill the dandelions; at least some of them. Advertising Sandwich-Man. Advertising through the medium of the sandwich man was known in Florence, Italy, as early as 1846. To-day he is an often-seen figure in all large cities.. Invented Moving-Pictures. Moving pictures were invented by an English engineer as early as the beginning of the eighteenth century. The arrangement consisted then of thin strips of wood on a canvas back ground. With the aid of wires they could be made to move quickly so that the effect of action was given. Like Beggar on Horseback. The more you court a clown the statelier he grows. From the Span-ls

SWINDLER HAS SENSE OF HUMOR; FLEECES BARKEEPSj Peck Mackintosh Arrested for l.etunn Money loder False Pretences from tiuiiiunki'mrrii "To Send a Friend to Keeley Institute' Teck Mackintosh, who lives at the corner of New York and Fishrup avenues in Whiting, was arrested last night by Officer Williams for obtaining money under false pretences. The interesting thing about the story is the fact that he solicited eight or ten dollars from several of the prominent saloonkeepers about town for the purpose of sending Jack Hughes, a local inebriate, to the Keeley Institute. It is not known what Peck did with the money, but he may have gone" on a drunk with it to demonstrate to ! Hughes the evils of the drink habit. At any rate the money is gone, Hughes is still very far from a Keeley institute, and the saloonkeepers are still selling booze to the man who should have been the beneficiary of their generosity. Mackintosh will be tried Wednesday. MltS. LAYBJiR BURIED. Mrs. Charles Lavene was buried yesterday afternoon at Oak Hill cemetery.

"A lot of women seem to be possessed these days of an ambition to learn the trade of diamond cutting," said a well-known jeweler. "Every little whi applicants for situations as apprentices call. But we can't afford to give them a trial. They can never master the art. In other branches of the jewelry trade women have made some unqualified successes. There is not one of Eve's daughters, from royalty down, I should say, that isn't an artist in the wearing of diamonds. Many are well versed in the art of buying and selling them, while others give excellent satisfaction in polishing and repairing them for the market. But when it comes to the real cutting of the stones they lack the patience, judgment and steadiness of nerve which constitute the expert's stock in trade." Need of Unrestricted Play, Even in the case of a child it i3 recognized that this sphere of freedom should enlarge as the child grows. Sully rightly warns: "Nothing is more ratai to win growin -.an an excess 01 child's surroundings." It isn't best that all play should be under even kindergarten instruction. Dr. Henry C. King

The Indirect Power of the Press By NORMAN HAPGOOD, New York Journalist

ISTRICT ATTORNEY

and certain newspapers have cried out that the popular investigation of financial affairs has gone far enough and that it 13 degenerating into mere hysterical rant. I

THINK IT HAS NOT GONE HALF FAR ENOUGH. It will not hurt us to know all the facts about our communities. How is it possible to bo a self governing community unless wo know EVERYTHING- of tho political and financial methods going on at the head of our affairs? Such people as Lincoln Steffens, Ida M. Tar bell and Charles E. Hughes teach us WHAT WE MUST GOV ERN. We cannot otherwise know HOW we are to govern. In all the public changes of our day a new power must be considered. The newspapers and periodicals, to a large extent, rule America.

Now the newspapers are responsible for the wave of moral emotion that this country is going through. Are they right or wrong? Somo people believe that the wave is evil, an outburst of anarchy and envyt a prelude to Socialism and a mere expression of HOSTILITY TO WEALTH. I believe it should go on. There are demagogues of tho press, as there are demagogues in politics, but that need not blind us to the fact that the need is still of MORE INFORMATION, not of less ; of more self searchings, NOT OF LESS. UNTIL THE ORDINARY MAN HAS BEEN TAUGHT THE TRUE INSIDE FACTS OF LIFE AND UNTIL HE HAS PONDERED AND DWELT UPON THEM DEMOCRACY WILL NOT BE COMPLETE AND THE PRESENT INVESTIGATING MOVEMENT OF THE PRESS WILL NOT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ITS MISSION.

Man Must Accord Woman Equal Rights By BRAND WHITLOCK, Miyor of Toledo. O.

AM not one of those who take that old fashioned view of ae cording to woman a position beneath that of man. We cant not with safety deny to any one ANYTHING WHICH WE

WISH TO KEEP FOR OURSELVES. The day Is coming when there shall be an equal standard of morals for men and women. We can never Bolve the problems of the race by the use of thai MALE intelligence alone. Men vote because they are men ; theTe is no other reason. Women have the same right because they are women. Manhood and womanhood are inherent AND INALIENABLE rights.

MEN CANNOT BE ALL THEY SHOULD BE SO LONQ AS THEY ARE DENYING WOMEN WHAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BECOME,

They pervade our lives like the very air we breathe. They furnish the material for our conversation and the substance of our thought. Their direct power is great. THEIR INDIRECT POWER IS GREATER STILL, for its influence on the whole tenor of our lives is more pervasive than any other influence save the public schools. It has taken over to itself much of tho power that once belonged to the clergy and much of the power that once belonged to PARTY ORGANIZATIONS.
