Only the Haves t T strealatlan ooaUlaes fa Its reyert aw n the AMoaatua. trs it. Items Gathered in From Far and Near King Alfonso's Whiskers. From the New York Sun. With the utmost respect, of course, indeed with all the reverence and humility in , which mere persons ought to discuss the affairs of sovereigns, potentates and assorted princes of the blood, we ventune to express our approval of the vigorous course the Queen of Spain has pursued in the case of King Al fonso's whiskers. It was much too soon, in our humble opinion, for the youthful monarch to cultivate "slders," such as the printed presentments within the last few days have disclos ed. It is true that Gen. Weyler, who was Spanish governor general of Cuba twelve or thirteen years ago. "sported" them with a great effect of talent and ferocity, and there have been instances still more remote during our civil war, for instancewhen prominent commanders flaunted umbrageous muttonchops In full view of the dastard foe and got away alive; but Alfonso seems for too young for these questionable decorations, and we are disposed to congratulate Queen Victoria upon the promptness and effi ciency with which she condemned them to the royal waste basket. Training Troops. From the Cleveland Leader. Arm ies fit to fight the battles of a great cation can't be improvised In these days. They must be trained long and carefully and built up with painstak ing effort. Even the single point of shooting straight demands scientific instruction, with the best of raw material in the ranks. Be Careful! From the Portland (Are.) Journal. Automobile races are almost invariab ly the cause or occasion of several sudden deaths. The automobile is a very useful machine, and has done and will do much to advance development and civilization, but it has taken and will continue to take a large toll of life of people who neglect to exercise care in its use. Save Money. From the Columbia State. We have a fad for old furniture, and make a boast of a love for antiquities of other kinds. Wherefore is it not possible to inculcate a love, either real or fanci ed, for last year"s coat? TWINKLES (BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.) Lack of Descriptive Detail. "Don't you enjoy hearing Bliggins tell about his European travels?" "No," answered Miss Cayenne. "When he gets to giving a list of places he visited, it merely sounds as if he were reciting the names of a wine card." A Difficult Ideal. "Don't you want to make a record that posterity will read with admiring interest?" "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum. "But such an. ambition Beems far beyond the bounds of possibility. It is becoming harder and harder to get up a biography that will not be thrown aside by nineV readers out of ten to make room for a best seller." A Tiresome Performer. The katydid keeps singing loud Out yonder In the leafy nook. Until there rises from the crowd, The cry, "J. Frost, please get the hook!" An Epigram. "Father," said Little Rollo, "what is an epigram?' "What we customarily call '.n epigram.,' my son. Is some selection from the classics incorrectly quoted by a person of current prominence." A Convenient Arrangement. "I understand that many western railways are putting Bibles in the same rack with the time tables." said one traveler.:;. -: ; "It is a good idea," : answered the other. "A man is never more in need of religious consolation than just after he has been struggling with a railway time table." .

A Good Field

12,035,158.40 is a large sum of money. - Almost any company would like to do that much business in any town. If the S. S. Saxton company had its way about the asphalt business in this town it would, have that amount to look forward to. For in Richmond there are 64.60 miles .. of streets of all kinds and there will never be less. The average width of the streets is 30 feet and it will never be less. And the bid of the S. S. Saxton company on the Eighth street paving for sheet asphalt per square yard is $1.79 in the long run it will certainly be more. 42.035,158.40. -' '

There are several thing3 that must be taken into consideration. The first one is the lesson which is to be learned from the sorry experience of Hamilton, Ohio. After the local subsidiary company got well under way the price became considerably higher than when the first asphalt was Installed. Hamilton, O., Aug. 27. The board of public service Tuesday afternoon awarded a contract for the paving of three streets with sheet asphalt. Here is where the property owners of South Front street, Millville avenue and North Tenth street got it in the neck and have had their pocket books hit a hard belt, all for the benefit of the asphalt trust. The taxpayers and property owners of these three streets will pay $1.95 for the work and get a top of one and a half inch. Now this same company is putting down asphalt streets in Lima at $1.90 and is putting on a top of two inches thick. " Who is responsible for this? Five gentlemen in council. All of these members of council are candidates for re-election and they are asking the people to endorse their work In behalf of the asphalt trust. Why is there a difference between the cost in Hamilton and Lima? From which it seems fair to judge that the price does not remain the same. It stands to reason that after asphalt is introduced Into Richmond the price will go up. It will go up to any price that the asphalt people dare to put it. And you will notice there is a decided difference per square yard between $1.79 and $1.95 that they are paying in Hamilton. And the price will be what the S. S. Saxton Company is pleased to make it.

After the asphalt gets started on one street, the cross streets and the remainder of the streets, are easy things for the Asphalt Company to manipulate. For no town will stand for alternate blocks of paving of different materials. Think how it would look to have brick, macadam and asphalt all on the same street! It is therefore safe to say that if asphalt is started on one street the rest of that street will be paved with asphalt. This being so the company will have a practical monopoly. It will have no real competition from any other Asphalt company, whether it is a subsidiary company or the parent trust.

THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE IN THIS DEAL THAT THE S. S. SAXTON COMPANY CAN AFFORD TO OFFER ASPHALT TO THE CITY OF RICHMOND AT A VERY MUCH LESS PRICE TO GET THE ASPHALT STARTED. IT CAN ALSO AFFORD TO GIVE THE PAVING TO SOME OF THE RESIDENT PROPERTY OWNERS FREE OF COST, FOR THEIR HELP IN GETTING IT STARTED. BOTH THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE IN OTHER CITIES BY OTHER ASPHALT COMPANIES. BUT THEY GET THEIR MONEY BACK IN THE LONG RUN.

School Trustees Declare Pie Is Brain Food For Students

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 30. Regardless of what may constitute its component parts, pie is brain food. Such is the official decision of the Omaha board of education and of Professor Graff, principal of the Omaha high school. The pie Question came before the Omaha board of education when the opening of a restaurant in the high school building was up for liscussion last night. Members discussed what should be served to the students and which foods would bring the best results as brain foods. Two members opposed pie. The oth ers, fourteen in number, insisted that pie is the best thing that children can eat. Arguments waxed warm, but the friends of pie were largely in the ma jority. But if they adopted pie as food for the growing youth of the city they wanted to do so by a unanimous vote. The two members opposed to pie urged an expert opinion from the principal of the school. The professor was sent for and the proposition put up to him. After hearing both sides he remarked that, aside from the pies

Rob Saloon In Daylight and Lock up Owner in The Ice Box

Chicago, Aug. 30. Not content with robbing their victim of $74, two masked men who entered the saloon cf G. Rossi, 29 Chatham court, in broad daylight yesterday morning, put the proprietor in an ice box, locked the door and left the building. After he had been held a prisoner in the chest for almost an hour he attracted the attention of James Giblin, a teamster who rooms above the sa loon, by pounding on the floor with a bottle of beer. Giblin hurried into the saloon, and hearing muffled' cries for help issuing from the ice chest, opened the door and released Rossi. The saloon-keeper was almost froz en, to say nothing of a severe numb ness of his limbs and back from remaining in a cramped position because of the size of the compartment. s 'Out of consideration for your gray hairs," the robbers said, "we will al low you to have some air," and they opened a small window near the top of the chest to prevent the prisoner from suffocating. Shortly after his release Rossi called up the Chicago avenue police station and Detectives ; Abbey and Hiaher were assigned to the case. Rossi was

"that mother made," all pies are good. Not only are they good, but owing to their internal construction, "as a brain food they have fish beaten a mile and then some." That settled it, and even if authorities on dietetics have been at loggerheads for years, pie is now an authorized and fit article for human food. Professor Graff declares that some of the learned men, in a spirit of jest, have said that the spirit of unrest that prevails throughout the country is due to the love for and the eating of pie, while on the other hand just as learned experts have staked their reputations that there is nothing that is more soothing to the nerves and a tired brain than a large section of pie, eaten at night just before retiring. The pie for the Omaha high school will be made in the building, where a culinary department is being installed. Pie will be served to all high school pupils who care for the delicacy and this will be done with the official stamp of approval of the board of education.

unable to give a clear description of the men, however, saying he was too frightened to take a good look at them, and the detectives have few clews to work on. Rossi said the men entered his saloon about 7:30 o'clock, while he was scrubbing the floor. One had two revolvers and the other but one. Both men leveled the weapons at his head and the one with the two kept them pointed at him while the other reached in his pockets and drew out $62 in bills. After dragging him to the ice box they went to the cash register ami took $12. Rossi said one of the men had a black mustache and the other red hair, but beyond this he could give no definite description. As a Last Resort. The stranger had been compelled tc linger twenty-four hours within the gates. "Well." queried the landlord of the Tillage Inn as the stranger was settling his bill, -what do you think of our place as a summer resort? "I'd hate to tell you. answered the stranger as be picked up bis grip. "Even what I think of it as a last resort would sot look wen In print."

0. MHARG TALKED THEN REQUESTED TO BE BELIEVED hBaav His Denunciation of Roosevelt Policies in an Interview Causes a Great Furor at Beverly.

MEMBERS OF CABINET HOLD CONSULTATION Renewed Interest Aroused in The Clash Between T. Rs Principals and Taft Administration. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 30. Three members of the cabinet were at Beverly Sunday Mr. Knox, the secretary of state; Mr. Meyer, the secretary of the navy, and Mr. Nagel, the secretary of commerce and labor. Secretary Nagel's visit was of the most pressing importance. He came by automobile from his summer home at Marion, Mass., and departed for Boston as soon as his talk with the president was concluded. The most intense interest has been aroused over the approaching collision between the "Roosevelt policies" and the policy of the department of the interior regarding public lands and conservation, and Incidentally the visit of Secretary Nagel added to the gossip. While the department of commerce and labor has nothing to do with the dispute between Chief Forester Pinchot and the subordinates of Secretary Ballinger over the Alaskan coal lands. It was Mr. Armisby McHarg, the assistant secretary of commerce and labor, who Saturday took up the cudgels against the "Roosevelt policies" in an interview and made the forest service ridiculous. When Secretary Nagel was asked whether he had seen the interview with Mr. McHarg, he replied that he had not, but that he had received a letter from his assistant secretary today calling his attention to the fact that he had only entered office for six months, that his time had expired, and he desired to be relieved. Mr. Nagel intimated that there had been no discussion of the matter today with the president, but he was very sure that McJIarg was going to retire Quite soon and that he ' would immediately look for his successor. Roosevelt Policies Involved. The clash between Mr. McHarg and Mr. Price, the assistant of the Forestry service, is regarded here as bringing to a head a matter in which the admirers of Mr. Roosevelt and his policies are greatly concerned. For months they have been greatly exer cised over whether there was not some disloyalty in the Taft administration toward the "Roosevelt policies." They have scrutinized everv act of the present administration with magnifying glasses, have looked askance at the refusal of the president to continue commissions that were not authorized by congress, and are preparing to demand that the president, whether what Mr. Pinchot is doing is legal or not. decide that it is all right so long as it is a "Roosevelt policy." President Taft has not discussed this matter with any one for publication. It is not believed he even went into it with Secretary Nagel Sunday. But it is known that when the Insinuations were made by Mr. Glavis, of the forestry service, that the law was being stretched in the matter of patenting coal lands in Alaska. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Pierce asked for all the facts and will take up the matter just as soon as he has all the data before him. It is understood here that the president Is satisfied that the charges that have been made against officials of the Interior department do not affect Secretary Ballinger or any member of his cabinet. His decision is expected by the Roosevelt admirers to be in favor of the forestry service and against the officials of the interior department. On the one hand, it is fully expected by the friends of Secretary Ballinger that the president will sustain the general action of the department In curbing the forest service and in annulling the act of the forest service in withdrawing the very large amount of public domain from public entry in the last few months of the Roosevelt administration. The attacks which have recently been made on the new head of the in- j terior department, as they are under-j stood here, are not primarily because there was baste in rushing toward 1 completion the title to coal lands in Alaska, although that is the matter mainly dwelt on. The real reason is that Secretary Ballinger, in his inves tigations of the forestry service and the irrigation service in the Far West, has uncovered enough to make him recommend to the president a radical departure from the work as it has been carried on during the last four or five years. The Alaskan coal lands matter, friends of Secretary Ballinger say, offered a point of attack, although the secretary had nothing to do with the cases. But the purpose, they say. was to force the issie between President Taft and Roosevelt policies. Where the Issue Will Come,; Here is where the issue will come. This is to be the ground on which the .Roosevelt party will stand in demanding the vindication of Chief For ester Pinchot and the decapitation of Secretary Ballinger. They are prepared to take the position that anything looking to curtailment of Mr.Pinchot Is an attack on the "Roosevelt policies," and the energy with which the attack has been conducted by govern

ment officials on Secretary Ballinger and his department during the last few weeks indicates that they are ready to defy President Taft unless his decision is in their favor. l is needless to say that this decision cannot be in favor of Mr. Pinchot or the conservation workers, if Mr. Ballinger's recommendations are to be followed out. It also goes without saying that if Secretary Ballinger is not sustained he cannot remain in the cabinet. Thus in this matter a question of sustaining the "Roosevelt policies," even when they are wrong, will probably be forced on the president.

GOVERNOR GLENN SPOKE YESTERDAY TO BIG AUDIENCE (Continued From Page One.) He did not touch upon the political situation. Instead, he said he would speak on the moral conditions of the country and the desecration of the Sabbath. He said that in the big cities, such as New York and Chicago, where a great per cent of the population was foreign little attention was paid to the command of God for observance of the Sabbath day. Observance Necessary. If there Is no Sabbath, there is no religion, and if there is no religion there is no love of God, he said. He spoke of the peril which the country might come to. if it followed the example of France, during its reconstruction period, following the Napoleonic wars, in which it made the week ten days long and ignored religion. Unless the country, especially the cities, improve in respect to their moral conditions, the United States will some day be in the same condition as France, said the speaker. Gov Glenn has personally investigated the moral conditions of large cities and finds that the vices of the poor and depraved are no worse than those of the high social sets. He strikes the lower class because of Its depravity and the upper class because of its de votion to strong drink. Talks on Temperance. He said in respect to the liquor prob lem, that God should pity the man who argued for the continuation of the liquor traffic, called by him tha vice milL because it added revenue to the government. Men seem to value the revenue more than their own bod ies and souls, he said. He illustrated conditions in North Carolina before and after the abolition of saloons. He concluded his dissertation on the liquor question by making an earnest plea for the people of the North to de stroy and crush the liquor traffic. In regard to immigration he said that he hoped the people of Indian. would instruct their representatives to vote to wall in the country. Keep out the undesirables, such as the anarch ists, murderers and other kinds of criminals, is his war cry. He says that the country wants foreigners of the intellectual class. In North Caro lina the immigration problem is prob ably of more vital interest than in thl3 section of Indiana. Dr. Mason, of Cincinnati, a negro, spoke on the negro problem in some phases, to a large crowd in the even ing. His address was interesting to many. Dr. Mason also delivered the sermon in the morning. His sermon pleased better than his lecture. The Kellogg Haynes Singing Party gave three recitals yesterday and their renditions of sacred numbers were pleasing. The Richmond City Band also gave several pleasing selec tions. A MEDIAEVAL NAVY. The Qaeer Implements mt Attack aa4 Defease That Were I'aed. Very strange to modern eyes would be the armament of Great Britain's mediaeval navy. The very names of many of the implements of attack and defense sound queer. According to the books, in the year 133? the vessels of the navy were furnished with "espringalds." ancient spring guns; "haubergeons, coats of mail; 'bacinets," small helmets; bows, arrows, doublets, targets; "pavlses," large shields placed at the sides and serving the double purpose of protection against the sea and against the enemy; lances and "firing barrels." As early as 133S cannon formed part of the armament of ships, and about 1372 guns and gunpowder were commonly used. Among the stores belonging to one vessel of that time were three iron cannon with Ave chambers, a band gun and three old stone bags, probably for shot. Another ship had an iron cannon with two chambers and one brass cannon with ane chamber. Among other implements of war nsed at that time were "cannon parlors" or stone shot throwers and "murtberers." which were smaller and threw any kind of shot. There were also "basilisks," port pieces." "stock fowlers," "sakers" and "bombards." The bombards were of hammered iron, made of bars welded and bound together with iron bands. They threw stone shot weighing between 140 pounds and 196 pounds. A battery of these erected on n slip of land at the naval battle of Cbloggia (13SO) between the Venetians and the Genoese did great damage. They were loaded overnight and were fired In the morning. Froissart tells of a bombard used at one of these ancient sieges that "might be beard Are leagues off in the daytime and ten at night. The report of it was so loud tint it seemed as If all the devils in hell had broken loose," Brass ordnance was first cast fn England in the year 1535. The pieces had various names.

The Better Man. John Stetson, the millionaire manager of the old lioston Globe theater, was nearly always besieged by some of his wife's relatives in search of a position. lie appointed one of them as ticket receiver in the upper gallery. One night an East Boston tough tried to force his way In without paying. The new man attempted to stop him and was promptly thrown down the steps. The victim limped Into the lobby and reported the affair to Stetson. "What's become of the man who threw you down the steps?' queried the manager. "He's in the gallery now," was the answer. "Do you mean to say that you hare let him go In without paying and coolly come and tell me about it?" yelled Stetson. -What could I do?" expostulated the relative. "What would yon do. Stetson, if you were there and saw a big. burly brute pick me up and throw me down a long flight of steps? "What would I dor echoed 8tetson. "Why. I should discbarge you and hire him on the spot."

He was called one day to give his verdict upon the case of a stranger who bad been the victim of a fit on the main street. - As the man was known to nobody, he was hurried to the hospital. There the case was diagnosed as appendicitis, but when the operation took place the attending surgeon discovered that the patient bad been previously relieved of his appendix. The doctor endeavored to retrace his steps, but the strange man died from the effects of the operation. The postmaster-coroner in rendering his verdict filled in the space after "Cause of death" with a rubber stamp which read, "Opened by mistake." Success Magazine. The Plumber's Revenge. Severe frost had burst some pipes In a London mansion, so that a plumber had to be called In. The plumber was shown round by the coachman, but as soon as be commenced work an officious butler kept close watch over him. He didn't like this treatment and determined to play a trick on the butler. In a bathroom he found a badly cracked pipe, and after cutting out tbe Ice be quickly popped his thumb over the hole. "Here, mate," he said, turning to the butler, "hold yer thumb over this hole while I fetch my soderln iron. Don't shift or there'll be a flood." An hour went by, but the plumber had not returned. Then the butler called a servant who was passing and told her to find the plumber and fetch him up. She found him enjoying lunch In the kitchen. "The butler wants to know when you're rejT.to relenjc him." she. said.
