Points Out Marks Thai
Show Deterioration.
"If ft man should lmve sixteen
signs of degeneracy pity him," said
Professor Frederick Starr in a lecture
to his class in elementary anthropo
logy at Chicago University yester
day.
"You needn't look at me so close
ly," lie added, after having explained
the sixteen marks of degeneracy.
,4 1 know I have many of the signs,
among them the wide apart teeth.
"A man tuny lmve twelve of the
marks of the degenerate and still he
all right, but sixteen! That number
settles him. 1 '
Here is the list of signs that indi
cate the deteriorating man:
Ked hair, but not for the Irish;
blond hair in dark races, all right for
Swedes; bat ears, ears with small
lobes, parting hair 011 right side or in
the middle, gray hair before age of
4f>, cross eyes, left-baiidednegn, men
wearing much jewelry, lattooing,
snub nose, cowlicks in hair, baldness,
receding chin, protruding lips, teeth
set wide apart.
Schoolboys In Germany.
'■Germany is before everything a
military nation," says George Andrew
a Scottish school inspector, in a re
port on the educational system of
lierlin and Charlottenburg. "In the
boys'schools th 3 infants are taught
by men and not by women.
"One remembers one's feelings of
surprise oil finding a class of sixty
iufauts presided over by a man of ex
cellent physical development. The
Prussian idea seems to bo that the
sooner the boy comes under mascu
line discipline the more adaptable
will he become to the military prac
tice later 4.
"Smartness is carried almost to an
extreme. When a pupil is called to
Iho blackboard, hu must run there
and back. The habit of the gymna
sium is carried into the classroom.
There is 110 'plav.' Instead, the
pupils wander in a tortuous column,
four abreast, under the superintend
ence of a teacher."
Neither is there a chance of "play
ing truant" in Cliarlottonbnrg. The
truant can be called for by a police
man, wakened from sleep and escort
ed to school.
One German town ordered gargling
exercises to be practiced in the
schools, the reason being that while,
in throat troubles, gargling was often
ordered, the children could not do it,
and the parents could not help.

Washington Letter.
Special t 'nnvspoii'lrnce ( »112 'flu- JulclllgGllcer.
Washington, I). C. Aug. 11, 'O4.
It may be interesting to the readers
of tliis correspondence to know that
the reason they have not heard from
ine for h week is because 1 have been
away and in the interest of the demo
cratic party, and incidentally in their
own interest. J believed it was to
their interest and to the intereut of
every democrat in the country to have
a correct pen picture of Judge Alton
Brooks Parker, my candidate and
their candidate for President of the
United States. 1 lmve been writing
ami you have been reading these let
ters for nearly two years now, and 1
feel that all of the readers of these
letters feel and know that my demo
cracy is on straight. They may have
and, many no doubt did, disagree
with me concerning my personal pre
ferences before the nomination was
made at St. Louis, but there is no
disagreement among real democrats
after the nomination has l>eeu made
and we have lined up for the fight
against the common enemy. There
should be no disagreement among
democrats when the fact is staring
them in the face that their liberty is
being raped, their patrimony is being
stolen from them, the very bread is
being taken from them by the rapaci
ous trnets of the country, as well as
their meat, that they are adrift on the
unknown sea of colonialism which is
foreign to the letter and the spirit of
the Constitution of the country; that
the lust of loot and the greed of graft
has jiermeated and honeycombed every
department of the national govern
ment until it reeks with rottenness of
honest administration.
It is up to the people to slop this
riot of rapacity or allow their grand
republic and the greatest government
ever established by man since the tide
of time began to fall to pieces, to dis
integrate of its own rottenness because
owned and controlled by the preda
tory wealth of the country which ulso
owns and controls the republican
parly, its agent. The only way the
people can do this is to defeat the re
publican party in the campaign just
now opening up, and the only way to
defeat the republican party is to vote
the democratic ticket straight from
top to bottom, I appeal to the re
publican voters of the country who
are honest men regardless of their
past political affiliations, to the great
and independent voter who votes his
conscience and his honest convictions
regardless of party lines and to the
good old straight democrat who votes
his ticket after the nomination has
been made no matter how sorely dis
appointed he may have been at the
result. No man, however, has the
right to he disappointed at the result.
As every man knows who has read
this correspondence for the past, year
and a half, 1 did not support Judge
Parker for the nomination. If, as a
man who did not support him for the
nomination, I rejoice now in his
nomination and honestly believe that
it was the solution of the problem of
getting together of the warring fac
tions of the democratic party, other
men who were similarly minded can
do the same thing with his greatest,
good grace in the world. 1 say to
the democrats of the country and to
the people in general that the demo
cracy ol' the nation in convention as
sembled at St. Louis made no mistake
in the nomination of Judge Alton B.
Parker for the presidency of the
country. This is the verdict of every
leading democrat in the entire nation
who has had the pleasure and the
privilege of meeting Judge Parker
and of taking him by the hand. 1
have hail that pleasure and that privi
lege, and it is of that I desire to say
a few words concerning the demo
cratic standard bearer in this cam
paign to my readers.

During the meeting of the national
committee, in New York City,
through the kindness and the courtesy
of the Hon. Norman E. Mack, na
tional committeeman from New York,
I was invited to accompany the mem
lierg of tiie national committee to the
home of .Judge Parker to pay to him
our sincere respects and give him as
surances of our loyalty and esteem. I
went, I saw, 1 was conquered, I am
his'll,
If you have warm, red corpuscles
in your blood he is the kind of a man
who would make you get out and
holler out loud for and get red in the
face and walk across h—l on a rotten
rail to serve in a campaign against
corruption and greed and graft and
usurpation and skullduggery and
militarism. Judge Parker is the an
tithesis of all these things that mili
tate against decency and genuine good
and safe constitutional government.
In a word, Judge Parker is a sure
enough man.
Did you ever study men ? Then go
up and meet Judge Parker aud you
will understand my enthusiasm for
our candidate for the presidency. He
loves nature and loves the smell of
new mown hay, of mother earth and
the breezes that come to him uncou
taminated by the touch of anything
but nature in all her purity. Ho
loves horses and he loves children.
That's why he is a real man; that's
why he grasps your hand in a hearty
shake; that's why he can laugh out
loud, and that's why he can look you
squarely in the eye when he is doing
it. Judge Parker is over six feet in
height, broad shouldered, deep chest
ed and athletic. He is at the very
zenith of his physical and intellectual
powers, a man devoted to clean con
stitutional government economically
administered in the interests of the
whole people, and that's why lie
makes an ideal candidate of the demo
cratic party for the presidency of the
United Btates, and that's why he
would make an ideal president of the
same. Judge Parker is one of the
few men you meet with sunkissed hair
and moustache aud big expressive
brown eyes with a merry twinkle in
them. He possesses a keen sense of
the ludicrous, loves a joke and can
laugh at it and, therefore, does not
make the mistake of taking himself
too seriously. Every member of the
national committee who that day en
joyed the hospitallity of Hon. Norman
E. Mack and who met Judge Parker,
wus impressed with liirn exactly as J
was ami every one of them went home
sinking his praises and was his person
al friend ami well wisher as well uh
his sworn political partisan.
He is going to he elected and the
people of the country will have in the
White House a deep student, a great
constitutional lawyer, a man who
loves the people and who knows their
needs and best of all a generous, hon
est, manly man.

I met the Hon. "Sim" Tawney, of
Minnesota, chairman of the com
mittee on Arts and Expositions, in
the national House of Representa
tives, the other day, and as he is very
much interested in the St. Louis Ex
position, I asked him, in the interest
of my readers, about the accommoda
tions out there for sightseers aud he
said to me:
"One of the unique privileges to be
enjoyed by thousands of World's Fair
guests is that of living at a hotel in
side the grounds during their stay at
the Exposition. No other exjiosition
has afforded such a privilege. This
hotel, aptly named "The Inside Inn,'
has a capacity of 6,000 guests. Its
enormous size attracts great attention.
It is located near the southeastern
corner of the grounds, close to an In
tramural railway station, and iu easy
walking distance of the 'main picture'
of the Fair. The Inside Inn is con
ducted under the supervision of the
World's Fair officials, who fix the
prices for accommodations —rooms,
meals, etc. Thus it may be seen that
there can be no extortion whatever.
Every guest registering at tho hotel
will know exactly what price lie must
pay per day for his room or rooms
and for his meals. The guest pays
his way iuto the World's Fair
grounds—fifty cents. If he stops at
the Inside Inn the hotel rates include
the daily price of admission. There
is great demand for room at the In
side Inn, the bookings having been iu
progress for several months. There
are 2,257 rooms; they range in price
from $1.50 to 82.50 per day, rooms
with bath costing from $3.50 to $5.50.
All these rates include the price of
admission to the Fair after the first
admission fee of fifty cents is paid at
the gate. Single meals at the Inn
will cost as follows: Breakfast, 50
cents; luncheon, 50 cents; evening
dinner, 75 cents. There is also a
service a la carte at very reasonable
rates. Guests who desire to obtain
accommodations on the American
plan may do so at fixed rates, accord
ing to location of room. Every con
venience usually found at a first-class
hotel is provided at the Inside Inn."

THE WORLD'S IRON DEPOSITS.
Public attention lias often been
drmvn to tlie alarming rate at which
the coal supplies of the world, and
especially of Great liritain, nrc being
exhausted. It is not so generally
realized that iron-ore deposits are dis
appearing at an equally if not even
more rapid late. The loading manu
facturing nations of Kurope have used
IIU their best ore bodies and are cast
ing about for foreign sources of sup
ply. This state of things exists also
iu the United States. Not long ago
Pennsylvania and the eastern portion
ol the State of New York furnished a
groat part of Ihe oro used in tlie
States. These deposits are practical
ly worked out. For a number of
years the immense bens on the south
ern shores of Lake Superior have been
worked, the output being remarkably
rich in Ihe percentage of metal ; yet
such is Lho rate of exhaustion that,
according lo recent computations,
this vast store, so far as the .better
qualities of ore arc concerned, will
not last more than forty or fifty years.
It has been reckoned that there art* a
billion tons of high quality; over 25,-
000,000 tons are taken out annually,
so that after forty years what is left
will be at depths which will greatly
increase tbo cost of production. In
the Northern States of the Union
manufacturers already forcsco the
time when they may have to rely on
the iron ores of the Dominion of
Canada.
FOUR BAYS IT'S HIS HOME
During Rest of Week Chlcaqoan Must
Yield Houae to Wife.
Chicago.—The $20,000 re-idcnce of
Matthew Chapman is his own only on
four days in the week. On other
days he will have to scok the seclus
ion of his club. Mrs. Chapman will
be in possession of the house on Tues
days, Thursday and Saturdays.
This decision was given by Judge
Honore yesterday, and was a point
gained by Mrs. Chapman, who for a
month has been In a legal contest
with her husbaud over the possession
of the home in Aurora until their di
vorce suit is ended. The court order
says that Mr. Chapman must leave
the house before 10 o'clock in the
morning of the days in which Mrs.
Chapman takes possession. Mrs.
Chapjnan in turn will have to leave
the liouse for Mr. Chapman's occup
ancy before 8 o'clock in the evening.
Judge Honoro expects the arrange
ment to work well, and has ordered
that both Chapman and his wife re
frain from removing any of the house
hold goods.

soon set right by
BEECHAM'S PILLS
TO SET YOUR LIVER WORKING RIGHT
is absolutely imperative if you are to get any comfort from life or
nourishment from food. A torpid liver can be a very dangerous
condition and should not be neglected. Few medicines act as
thoroughly, promptly and safely as Bcecham's fills. They are
vigorous but mild, and cause no inconvenience or nausea.
TO BE RID OF CONSTIPATION
There is no remedy quite as good as Reecham's Pills, not only to
loosen the bowels but in the after effects. There is no binding up
afterwards, as these Pills aid Nature in a natural way. Persons
chronically constipated can become regular and be rid of the con
sequent discomforts formerly theirs by use of BEECHAM'S PILLS.

NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO
RAISE FROGS FOR MARKET
There is No Text Book on the
Subject and the Fisheries
Department is Stumped.
ONE WAN'S UNREASONABLE REQUEST
Now tliiit. they have the frogs,
would-be raisers of the hoppers for
the enjoyment of the epicure are
miking inquiry from the State for
directions. There com is a hitch.
No treatise upon frog culture litis
ever been written nud it is unlikely
that any over will bo. Tadpoles may
be easily raised, but after metamor
phosis has Occurred uud the little
wigglars have taken on a new shape
trouble begins.
Young frogs live chiefly and thrive
beat upon living insects as those lly
by the habitat of the croakers. When
frogs arc in a poml or *trecm in nor
mal quantities there is autUcient food
for all and to spare, but when they
are dumped into a body of water in
numbers several timM as great as
what would naturally be ll.ero many
of them aro almost sure to starve.
Olio remedy which has iiccn sug
gested is that the culturists catch in
sects for the frogs and feed them.
The insects would have to be of the
smaller varieties, but a fev hundred
a day would sulUce. Common house
Hies would answer the purpose ad
mirably.
The Fish department is up against
it on (lie latest proposition, for there
is really little advice tog vo. One
pel son qualified to speak . uthorlta
tively has declared that not fifty per
cent, of the tadpoles recent y distri
buted will reach maturity.
Some persons add insult to injury,
too. Kvcr since the supply of tad
poles was exhausted requests for
them have continued to come in.
One man who wrote asked that a
supply be sent him in which he could
have a full male chorus—first and
second tenor and first and second
bass. This letter was promptly hurl
ed into the waste basket.
Gutters Must Be Kept Clean,
There is a great deal of complaint
made to Council on tlio score of neg
lected and choked up gutters, which
are net only unsightly but cause an
overflow on the streets ill time of
heavy rain.
I'hero scums to bo a doubt in thn
minds of some people whotlier the
oare of the gutters devolves upon the
Borongh or the property owners.
The matter was up before Council at
its luat meeting when it was decided
tiiat Council would look to property
owners to keop tho gutters clear of
grass and to maintain theiu in a neat
and presentable condition. The Street
Commissioner was instructed to see to
it that tho order is enforced.
Mr. Gibson called attention to the
fact that somo portions of Kailroad
street north of Walnut street is with
oat a guttor. Drainage is consequent
ly imperfect at tlioso points and the
questiou to settle was upon whom it
dovolvod to dig a gatter—the Borough
or the owners of tho properties.
Thn matter was left in the hands of
the Street Commissioner who was in
structed to investigate carefully and if
ho found gutters indispensable at the
places in question to have thorn dug
without delay.
