This is the third attempt of the Salvation Army to carry on its operations in this ctiy. Perhaps the reason that the Salvation Army has never become a permanent institution- here is the fact that not many citizens, for the most part, are of the class in which the Salvation Army is accustomed to do the most good. For in Richmond, happily, there are few of the desperately poor. We have no bread; line here nor a need for one; we have few hopeless individuals out at the heels and elbows and on the downward path. In our large cities the workers of the Salvation Army are tremendously successful in doing rescue work. Not aam m mam ttiirti In Ik nMinslla nt the English church stated that In his opinion the work carried on in the city of London among the poor by the Salvation Anny was several times more suecesful than the work of any other denomination or rescue work. The encouraging thing about . the Salvation Army Is that they do not scorn to take up the lowest of those who have fallen and set them up on their feet with renewed hope ready to fight the battles of the world. It is the custom of us to give the fallen man and woman a kick which sends them to the lowest mire of despond and degradation. : Although, as has before been said, the town has no considerable number of such people there is work for the Salvation Army to do here at this time of year in particular. And it is a good work. DARWIN r A NON-PRODUCER. 1 The year 1809 was the year of the Geniuses. It. has taken us about a hundred years to come to a full significance of the fact. Perhaps it will ever be a mystery how ; in that space of twelve months the most remarkable men of ; their century, men who have still an ever growing Influence on the world and its work should have been born in that particular space of time. There are at present several theories In regard to the event. It has been noticed in the world's history how the pendulum swings back and forth leaving one age of mediocrity and the next' the fullness of genius.; But aa yet there is no law which has been worked out. ' And if the ordinary person is asked to explain it the first thing: he will say in most cases is that It has to do with, the laws of heredity. One hundred years ago if a man ven tured to remark that to scientist he would scarcely have known what the man was talking about. It is due to Charles Darwin one of the children of the wonderful year, that this law Is being developed today. By no means all the things we know now of heredity and kindred subjects are due to Darwin directly, but most of modern biology is in some way af fected by his work in ascertaining the origin of species and their varia tion under nature and the changes in type due to sexual selection. The Com Schools of our rural dis trlcta and the wonderful results which they are able to obtain are simply the application of certain laws which Dar win snd those, who elaborated his work are responsible for. The work is but the continuance of the biblical parable about the seed falling on the barren soil. ' Darwin may or may not have been mistaken in some of his theories but one thing is certain that most of his investigations have led to the betterment of the condition of mankind in general. We are apt to look upon the, scientist at work In hia laboratory as' s non-producer and the absent-minded professor, who goes around the fields chasing bugs and taking photographs of , things. - is a matter left almost' to the tender mercies ' of . the funny papers. But many of our substantial citizens who pride themsore straits today if men like Darwin had sot don their thinking and expsrimextizj tar them. , , -tarstt my sot have bees s great

hero llkev some others of his time nor have loomed up large as does the Great Emancipator who was born on the v same day. But none " the - less there have been very few men who have exerted so great an influence on the work of the world. Now a hundred years after bis birth we are just beginning to reap the benefit of the mental processes of this "non-producer."

DECORATIONS HOT SO VERYJJUMEROUS Richmond People Should Enter More Heartily in the Lincoln Celebration. BRONZE TABLET FINISHED GIFT OF R. G. LEEDS TO THE CITY WILL BE DISPLAYED ON STAGE AT COLISEUM CELEBRATION, THURSDAY. Main street merchants whose places of business are located between Sev enth and Ninth streets, have pur chased the Lincoln lithographs and display them in their windows. Be yond these two squares in either di rection, but few pictures may be found. The sale of these pictures by the Young Men's Business Club will defray the expense of the Lincoln day celebration. The more generous the merchants are, the more money there will be to spend and the better the event will be. Private citizens are urged to purchase these pictures, also. The sales are controlled exclusively by the club and by its enterprise it has shown its worthiness of support. Lack of Decorations. The down town merchants have not decorated their stores as freely as was expected. Throughout the country, Lincoln Is , the most talked of president today.. For the time being, the "big stick" and the present incumbent of the White House must be relegated to the rear and reverence paid to the memory of the great commoner." School children are memorizing the Gettysburg address or reading the his tory of the life of the man who said. "With malice toward' none and chari ty for all." In the schools of Wayne county preparations have been made to celebrate the centenary with ap propriate ceremonies. It is expected that the local public will not bang back and be only luke ; warm in expressing Us appreciation of the life and works of the "rail splitter" presi dent. - ' Tablet Was Made Today. The pattern from which will - be made the mould has been completed by the Standard Pattern & Manufac turing Company and the cast will tie completed today, and will be displayed on the stage during the exercises at the Coliseum.

LEGISLATIVE AHD EXECUTIVE SPAT IS HOT YET OVER

Whether the Congress Has a Right to Demand Information of-executive Branch Still an Issue. PRESIDENT REFUSES TO OBEY THE SENATE Says He Don't Have to Furnish Information Regarding The Tennessee Coal and Iron Controversy. By Sheldon S. Cline. Washington, Feb. 11. There have been so many things to fill the public eye during the past two weeks that not a great deal of attention has been given to the controversy between the president and senate over the ques tion as to whether congress has the right upon demand to any information in possession of the executive depart ments. Yet veteran members of the senate and house regard the issue as one of the most important that has arisen in many years. President Gave Refusal. The question arose, it will be re called, in connection with the Tennessee Coal and Iron case. The senate judiciary committee wanted to know what Information was in possession of the administration which induced it to consent that the steel trust should absorb the Tennessee company. The president declined to give the information and Attorney General .Bona parte refused to appear before the AILMENTS OF MEN HAPPILY OVERCOME SUCCESSFULLY TRIED BY Undoubtedly the following prescription will work wonders for that great class of men who throuah dissipation of their natural strength, find themselves in their "second childhood"' - long before the three score and ten allotted to life's pleasures and enjoyments are reached. It is presumed to be Infallible, and hla-hly efficient In quickly restoring- In "nervous exhaustion," weak vitality, melancholia and the functions. First set fifty cents' worth of compound fluid balmwort In a one-ounce package, and three ounces syrup sarsaparilla compound; take home, mix and let stand two hours; then get one ounce compound essence cardlol and one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom). Mix all In a six or eight ounce bottle, shake well, and take one teaspoonful after each meal and one when retiring following by a drink of water. By mixing it at home no man need be the wiser as to another's shortcoming's, and expensive fees are avoided. lark ef poise and equilibrium in men is a constant source of embarrassment even when the public least suspects it.

committee to be examined in connec

tion with the matter. , Take it as Insult. j In the past the executive has at times refused congress information on the ground that the giving of it was "incompatable with the public inter- . ests." Indeed, when information is ! requested this "ineompatable" feature generally is incorporated in the reso-, ration. Senators declare that in the' present Instance it cannot be shown' that giving information about a pure-' ly domestic affair which already is ! accomplished would be harmful to the public interests, and they regard the refusal as a direct flaunting of the senate's authority. If the administration is allowed, in the language of the street, to "get away" with the present refusal, senators declare that congress might as well go out of business as a coordinate branch of the government. Regarded as Violation. The contention, of course, is that absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the steel trust was a violation of the anti-trust laws of congress. If it is possible there are circumstances under which this law should be violated, senators declare, congress ought to know what they are, to the end that the law may be so amended that in the future such necessary acts may be accomplished without violation of law. They point out that there can be no denial that for the federal government to acquiesce in violation of law is to bring law into contempt than which there can be no greater calamity. Gray Bearda Are Busy. Some of the wisest of the "gray beards" of the senate are now racking their brains to determine the best method for the senate to assert itself in the matter of securing information from the executive departments. The desirability of securing information relating to the steel merger has been almost wholly lost sight of. It is the principle involved with which the senate now concerns itself. Two chief plans of proceedure are under consideration. One is to at once take the question into the courts for judicial determination. The other is to authorize some committee of the senate by resolution to inquire into some specific matter, with power to send for persons and papers and to administer oaths. The steel merger probably would be selected for the test case. A subpoena would be issued for the attorney general and for the papers in his possession. Should he refuse to obey the summons the matter would be taken into the senate and he would be declared in contempt , v. . t take him into custody and brought before the bar of the senate. Senators generally agree that this would be the better and more effective method, but they object to it on the ground that it smacks of the sensational. Consider Joint Demand. There is a third course, even more sensational, but which has the support of some of the more belligerent members of congress. This involves a joint demand of the two houses 'on the attorney general for the informatior which is withheld, and in the event of his refusal to have a resolution of Impeachment Introduced in the house. Some of the constitutional lawyers of congress, however, do not regard the offense'' as an impartiable one. The constitution provides that the president, vice-president or other civil officers may be removed from office upon impeachment and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. No one is quite willing to take the ground that the withholding from congress information to which congress is entitled is a high crime or misdemeanor. For this reason, if for no other, the question of impeachment is not likely to go farther than cloak-room talk. They Fear a Precedent. Congress is very much in earnest, dndDDlU

cedent, members of congress fear it will rise up to vex them in the future. The greatest piece of single work which can be given to a navy yard is the building of a battleship. It has been learned from hard experience that these 'ships coat from 25 to 60 per. cent more when built by the Government than they do when built by contract in ' private yards. That is. there is a loss to the Government of from 9500.000 to $1,600,000 on every one that it builds. This is a perfectly well known to the naval committees of Congress. - Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. as mercury win sorely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous rurfaces.
