At Least It Is to Grin. Mayor Zimmerman last night from his throne in the council chamber handed down the edict that councilmen were only wasting their breath when they petitioned for more street lights. He told them they were the ones who dictated the amount of money the city should expend each year and that it was the duty of the mayor and his board to keep within that allowance, so if he and

his board decided the city could not afford more lights, that settled the matter. Council was also informed by its president that Richmond was as well lighted a city as could be found in this section of the country. But, Your Honor, pray inform us what has the annual budget for city government expenses to do with the lighting question ? The city, as you may faintly recall, has not been paying for the current it has been using in its street lights for lo these several years, so what possible strain could a few more street lights be on the treasury of the city of Richmond ? As to Richmond being an unusually well lighted city we can assure the patient populace that it will not be lese majeste if they desire to enjoy one or two quiet chuckles.

It is all very well, under existing conditions, for Richmond!

not to have a better street lighting system than it now enjoys, but not for the reason assigned by the mayor. The only real objection against an extension of the lighting system.is that the city is now receiving entirely too much for nothing from the municipal plant. When the new unit at the plant is installed and when the city agrees to give the plant a square deal by paying for its street lighting current, then there will be no objection to adding a few more arc lights. Don't Blame the Police Now. Whether it is the policy of council to oppose all legislation aimed to increase the efficiency of the police force, or whether pressure was brought to bear on that body by some merchants and manufacturers alarmed over the prospect of adding a few more dollars to their expense accounts for which they would receive no benefit except better protection of their properties, the sad fact remains that an excellent ordinance requiring the placing

AN ORDERLY RETREAT. " Bin ring "Onward, Christian Soldiers!" 200 Sunday school children In Chicago marched In good order from their smoke filled classrooms. News Item. Fire drills In our schools and elsewhere have saved many panics with consequent disgraceful scenes and loss of life. We must all learn the lesson of orderly retreat A beaten army that maintains its formation and discipline can withdraw from the field with little loss. But the army that flees in terror and confusion Is cut to pieces. Perhaps In the past more people have lost their lives in the maddened trampling and crowding of fire panics than from the actual flames. A little presence of mind, concerted action and orderly retreat would have saved all this. That spectacle of the singing children marching like soldiers out of the smoke filled classroom Is as Inspiring as some of the wild rushes of their elders have been shameful. , A child - shall lead them.

When a besieged army must give up a stronghold its generals ask that It may go out with the "honors of war" that it may march forth with banners flying abd bands playing. When we retreat as individuals it Is not always fitting that we raise flags and beat drums, but we can at least maintain our poise and not become a small edition of a panic. ' Suppose we bave made a misstatement. We can retract in manful fashion. That is orderly retreat. Suppose we have gone Into the wrong business and suffered disaster.

ies and one murder directly due to our dark alleys. Among those loudest in their demands for increased police protection, as a result of these crimes, were a large number of business men. But when the police replied that alleys in the business districts would have to be lighted before they could give better protection, then the chorus for increased police efficiency became weaker. Probably the ordinance killed last night would have met another fate if council's backbone had been stiffened by the indorsement of the measure by our civic organizations. In the meantime there should be no unfair censure of the police department if, under the protection of the Egyptian-darknass of our alleys, night prowlers jimmy rear windows and doors and steal away with the contents of cash registers and safes.

The Way of the World.

A few years ago, Orville Harrold, the great American tenor, drove a cab in Muncie, Indiana, sang happily at his work, and i lived contentedly with his wife and three children. j Then one day Opportunity knocked at his- door and he answered her call. A great theatrical manager recognized the wonderful possibilities of Harrold's voice, had it cultivated in

New York and then in Pans, and finally made him a grand opera star. , j While the rough edges were being knocked off of Harrold ! by his association with cultured, cosmopolitan people in the

world's metropolises, Mrs. Harrold remained in Muncie, living the simple life she did when her husband was only a cab driver, and affectionately and enthusiastically following her husband's career, dreaming of the days when the world would acclaim him its greatest tenor.

I The most notable example of a master work with a political origin is Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony. General Bernadotte during bis residence in Vienna in 1703 as ambassador from the French nation suggested to Beet ho veu the composition of a symphony in liouor of Napoleon. At that time Napoleon was looked upon as the champion of freedom, the savior of his country, the embodiment of republican ideals, with which Beethoven was in thorough sympathy, and he willingly accepted the proposal. Before the symphony was published Napoleon became emperor, and when the j news reached Vienua Beethoven was ! violently angered. ' After all. then, he is nothing but an ordinary mortal! lie will trample all the rights of men under foot to Indulge his ambition and become a greater tyrant than any one!"

With these words be seized the music, tore the title page in half and threw it on the ground. He never again referred to the connection between his work and Napoleon until news of the latter's death reached him. Then he said. "I have already composed the proper music for that catastrophe." meaning, of course, the funeral march. But the whole symphony, with its essentially revolutionary character, is a musical portrait of Napoleon as Beethoven idealized him. BooUman

MEDIATE IN MEXICO. (New York World.) Mr. Taft is dealing wisely and patriotically with the Mexican crisis. It is the duty of every honest man to uphold the president's hands. This is no time for jingo demonstrations in behalf of American financial interests. If the United States is compelled to send its army into Mexico to conquer peace, the World fears that that army will never be withdrawn. But no other disaster that now threatens this country is comparable with the conquest of Mexico. Here is a population of 15,000,000, more than 75 per cent of which is illiterate, and an equally large per cent of which could never be absorbed into

our civilization. These people no understanding of American

The little one has no pain but feels "out of sorts." The first thing to try is a family remedy containing good but mild laxative properties, and many mothers will say that their choice would be Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Thousands of mothers keep it in the house for such emergencies, among whom may be mentioned Mrs. Jennie Manuel, Altamoct. 111., who began to give her baby, Fredrick, Syrup Pepsin when he was six months old, and has used it ever since with gratifying results.

, ; OUR MARINE CORPS. Noted For Brave Deede Since the Days ' of the Revolution. Our marine corps was organized by act of the Continental congress In 1775. and its history continues unbroken down to the present time. It is the oldest branch of the military service and was originally created to prevent mutiny by the sailors, many of whom were 'Impressed." Then, too, in the days of sailing ships, and especially in battle at sea. the sailors were largely occupied In maneuvering the vessel. Fighting was at close quarters, and a large body of men who had nothing to do but fight was of great service. The advent of steam and of long range guns made the old style of fighting impossible. The story of the marine corps Is a stirring one. The marines distinguished themselves first in 1779 in the battle between the Bonhomme Richard and the Serapis. They had previously, in 1776, taken part in the bloodless capture of 100 cannon at New Providence, in the Bahamas. They fought In Tripoli in 1803, and in 1800 they made a remarkable march across the Libyan desert and took the fortress of Derna. At New Orleans In 1815 the ma- ) rines again distinguished themselves. t and they covered themselves with glory at the battle between the Chesapeake and Shannon. At ShlmonosekL Japan. In 1864; Formosa in 1867 in Korea In 1871, Panama in 1885. at Manila and Guantanamo in the war with Spain and In China during the Boxer outbreak they proved their worth. Harper's Weekly.
