This Js My 71st Birthday

BISHOP BYRNE. Rt. Rev. Thomaa Sebastian Byrne, bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Nashville, Tennessee, was born in Hamilton, O., July 29, 1841. When eleven years of age circumstances compelled him to quit school and go to work. Before he had attained his majority he became an expert machinist. At 20 he abandoned his trade and decided to prepare for the priesthood. He attended the Seminary of St. Thomas at Bardstown, Ky., and later St. Mary's of the West, graduating in 1865. Three years were spent in the American College in Rome and then he returned to Cincinnati and was ordained in 1869. For nine years Father Byrne was a professor at St. Mary's Seminary in Cincinnati, which position he quit to become rector of St. Peter's Cathedral in the same city. He was named as head of the Nashville diocese in 1894 and was consecrated bishop on July 25, of that year. Congratulations to: Booth Tarkington, the Indiana author and playwright, 43 years old today.

DEAD SEA WATER.

tzs Density Is More Than Double That of the Red Sea. The Dead sea contains 23 per cent of solid matter and is bulk for bulk heavier than the human body. Many believe that it is Impossible to vrm in this sea. and even in Jerusalem ridiculous fables are told.as to the impossibility of bathing there and that Do auinials or vegetation can exist near its shores. Bo far as swimming is concerned, the excessive buoyancy of the water simply renders it difficult to make much headway, but a swim is both feasible and enjoyable. Care should be taken, however, not to let the water gel into the eyes. Indeed, did Palestine belong to any power but Turkey probably the northern shore of the Dead sea would be a popular bathing station. No doubt the chloride of magnesia which enters so largely Into the composition of the water would be found to have medicinal and curative properties. - Perhaps a better idea of the density of the water of this inland sea may be realized from the following statistics: In a ton of water from the Caspian sea there are eleven pounds of salt; In the Baltic, eighteen pounds; in the Black sea.- twenty-six pounds; In the Atlantic, thirty-one pounds; in the English channel, seventy-two pounds; lo the Mediterranean, eighty-five pounds; in the Red sea. ninety-three pounds; In the Dead sea, 1ST pounds.

Face Covered With Pimples A SKIN TROUBLE THAT NEEDS ' SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT.

Try this Remedy at Our Risk. Instead of bothering with cosmetics and worthless "beauty formulas" if you will treat that case of pimples scientifically you will get results. We advise using our new skin remedy, Saxo Salve, which is very soothing, yet penetrates the skin and exerts its healing power from the very moment of application. Any pure soap may be used with this remedy just apply Saxo Salve at night, following directions. Not only does it clear the face of pimples, but eczema and other angry, itching, scaly or crusted eruptions soon yield to its healing power. The marked and continual improvement noticed shortly after the treatment is begun will soon convince you that Saxo Salve is far superior to any other remedy for the skin. If you do not get good results from It, we pay back your money. Leo H. rihe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind,

An Excelleut Recruit.

Ex-Senator Beveridge's clear cut avowal of the Progressive cause has sent the stock of the third party to the top in giant bounds, not only in Indiana, but all over the nation, and at the same time has thrown the Old Guard leaders in this state into a panic. The yelps of the standpat press of Indiana since the publication of the statement of Mr. Beveridge have been loud and pitiful. The Indianapolis political correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, a democratic pro-Taft paper, yesterday frankly admitted in his column that the action of Mr. Beveridge in stepping into the ranks of the Progressives was a hard blow to the Indiana Republican party, as the ex-senator would undoubtedly attract hundreds of recruits to the new party. If any voter was in doubt as to whether Mr. Beveridge was as popular in his native state today as he was prior to the last state election, he had only to attend the Progressive mass meeting in this city last Saturday afternoon to have his doubts removed. Following the reading of the resolution pledging the Wayne county delegation to the Prograssive state convention to support the candidacy of Mr. Beveridge for governor, the greatest enthusiasm was shown, but the suggestion of Mr. Beveridge to head the Progressive state ticket has not merely caught the popular fancy in Wayne county he is in demand all over the state. The Progressive mass meeting held here Saturday would have been highly interesting to any close student of political affairs, principally because it was so different from the well known brand of political gatherings common in this country. Instead of the county boss or one of his most trusted lieutenants occupying the chair the gavel was wielded by an earnest young man, who frankly confesses to being an amateur in the political game and who once or twice tripped over the parliamentary law, which the political professional, James E. Watson, for instance, is a past master in handling, usually for his own selfish benefit. There was also a difference in the personnel of the voters who attended the meeting Saturday. They were not the usual type of machine cogs which predominate at a political gathering. Instead they were earnest, serious and truly patriotic .citizens, many from remote parts of the county, gathered to play the humble parts assigned to them in the great movement for truly democratic government of the state and nation. These men and the officers who presided over the meeting gave a glimpse to the interested political student of the kind of political meetings and conventions the future holds in store for the American nation.

A Platform Test.

The American people are now watching with interest the first official test of the platform constructed by the Democrats at the Baltimore convention the first of this month. The test will be made in the lower house of congress this week and will involve the plank which calls for an "adequate navy." Indications point to the fact that the test will develop the first weakness in the platform, for the Democratic majority in the house, led by Speaker Champ Clark, has gone on record in two caucuses as opposed to the non-partisan policy of "two battleships a year." There is also grave doubt if the house will even vote an appropriation for one battleship. The senate has passed a bill providing for two battleships, rejecting the house naval bill which failed to provide for any dreadnaughts. In consequence the future naval policy of 'the United States hangs high and dry. The. big bulk of the American people stand behind the policy which keeps the United States in the forefront as a sea power and the Democratic leaders in the house have received countless protests against the rejection of such policy, but Clark's followers being denied the privilege of dipping deeply into the public buildings "pork barrel," have decided to take out their spite on the navy. The maintenance of a strong efficient navy is vital to the welfare of the American nation and the action of the house Democrats will make the naval policy of the United States a most important campaign issue this fall. One of the strongest planks which will be incorporated into the national Progressive platform at the Chicago convention will be one calling for a strong navy, of which Theodore Roosevelt is a most enthusiastic advocate. At the present time the United States ranks second to Great Britain as a naval power, but this country will soon drop to third place, giving away to Germany, and if the insane program of the house Democrats is carried out the United States will within three or four year3 drop into fourth place, behind France, and will be closely pressed by Japan. John Callan O'Laughlin, correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and former assistant secretary of state, in an article yesterday speaking of the attitude of the house Democrats toward the navy, says in part: The matter would be less serious were the responsibilities of the United States not so heavy and the demands not so large. To say nothing of the Atlantic, gulf, and Pacific coasts, with their populous and weal-

thy cities, which must be protected, there are the outlying possessions, Alaska, the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, and Tutulla island, In the Pacific, and Porto Rico in the Carribean sea. In addition, the American people must preserve the Monroe doctrine and are in duty bound especially to defend Santo Domingo and Cuba, which are under our suzerainty. Having a tremendous bearing also upon the holding of these possessions and the security of our coasts, as well as the maintenance and development of our commerce, is the Panama canal, which is being constructed at a cost of J400.000.000. The operation of the Panama waterway will have as vital an effect upon the history of the world as did the opening of the Suez canal. Capt Mahan, the well known naval authority, has pointed out that the chief political result of the canal will be to bring our Pacific coast nearer not only to the Atlantic coast but also to thj great navies of Europe. It follows that the canal will present an element of much weakness from a military point of view. Another expert insists that the control of the Panama Canal is as important to the nation that desires to command the commercial as well as the political destiny of the eastern Pacific as the Suez is to England in the control of Asiatic affairs. Consideration of the situation of the United States establishes that there should be no hesitation about providing for an adequate fleet. To say the present navy is large enough is absurd in the face of the construction under way or proposed by foreign governments which have the advantage of a continuous naval policy. A student of history does not need to be told that while the French built the Suez canal, it was the English, through their possession of a fleet capable of handling the combined sea forces of any other two nations and of plenty of naval bases, who acquired its control. The United States is building the Panama waterway, but unless it Is prepared to defend it the time may come when the benefit ,of the work done on the Isthmus and the money spent there will be reached by an enemy.

A GENEROUS BANDIT.

The Double Action Trick That Was Turned by Cartouche. Old time bandits were much more attractive than those of today. There is nothing chivalrous about the automobile robbers of America and France, as there was about such men as Cartouche. Here is an anecdote of which Cartouche was the hero: One evening he was crossing the Pont Neuf, in Paris, when he saw a poor wretch about to leap over the parapet into the Seine. The brigand stopped ..him and fjskedjwhy he wanted

The creditors assembled. Cartouche went over their accounts, paid them all, got their receipts and said goodby to his grateful beneficiary. It is almost needless to add that when the creditors left Cartouche met them and relieved them of all he had given. Exchange.

THIS WEEK' v IS EM(SAM

Sold at a, SACBKEFIKDIB

Tie Reason for These Prices: You no doubt will be surprised after seeing these pianos that we can sell them at such low prices. The truth about these pianos that go on sale this next week is that they were used by Miss Gaston at Earlham College. Every year Earlham is supplied with new pianos from our factory and the old ones are returned to us. These old pianos which were really new, only having been in use one year, are sent to our factory. There they are repaired and refinished to the same as new. In fact the greatest care is taken that no blemish of the past year's usage should show so that when they are returned to us they show no-wear and give the same beautiful tone that is only found in the Starr manufactured piano. But as these pianos have been used, although as good as new, we offer them at greatly reduced prices. We ask that you call and make investigation and be convinced that you are getting real bargains. Tfinis is Bargain Week so Buy Now We have cut the price deeper on this lot to make them sell fast. At the end of this week we want to have our store cleared of everything but new pianos, so come tomorrow the earlier in the week the better and allow us to show you what. real bargains are. B&ny Tlhteinni on Pay iron emit Pflami Just a small cash payment' is all that is necessary and the balance by the week or month. -
