SEES DOOM OF LORDS
T P OConnor Predicts Uprising of
Masses Over Rejection of Budget
Commenting on the action taken by
the British house of lords in adopting
Lord Lnnsdownes amendment to the
finance bill T P OConnor M P
one of the Irish Nationalist leaders in
the house of commons now in the
United States in the interest of lrisli
home rule said the other night that
the rejection of the British budget by
the British peers had announced their
own doom
I am greatly pleased and so is every
one wlm is an enemy of the house oi
lords sai 1 Mr OConnor Every Lib
eral aim suil more every Irish Na
tionalist has known for several gen
erations that it was impossible to have
anything like steady Liberal progress
so long as the house of lords retained
its power to defeat or postpone all
democratic legislation Ireland has
been the special sufferer from the pres
ent power of that body for the house
of lords consists almost exclusively ol
the landlords who have always been
the curse and the enemies of Ireland
As to the effect in England I be
lieve the rejection of the budget will
lead to an uprising of the masses the
strength of which the lords have fail
ed to realize They will realize it be
fore many hours 1 believe we are on
the eve of the fiercest fight we have
seen in British politics for a century
that the fight will go against the lords
that they have pronounced their own
doom and that before two or three
years from now their power of mis
chief will be so broken as practically
to be nonexistent
This means the fiual emancipation
of the English masses from the grip
of feudalism and of Ireland from gov
ernment of an alien parliament

Salesman Traveling by Auto

MOSBY FLAYS FOOTBALL
Confederate Chieftain Consider the
Game Worse Than Warfare
Colonel John S Mosby the famous
Confederate partisan chieftain and
alumnus of the University of Virginia
who denounced football the other day
in a remarkable interview in which he
compares the game to actual warfare
to the detriment of ihe former main
tains that the great number of fatali
ties iepreseuts so many murders
1 have read with indignation min
gled with sorrow the account of the
murder of young Christian a student
of the University ot Virginia in a foot
ball game in Washington with George
town university said Colonel Mosby
1 use the word murder advisedly the
killing was not an accident The very
fact that a university surgeon went on
with the team shows that they were
going to war They neglected how
ever to provide an ambulance to carry
off the wounded
1 hope it this barbarous amuse
ment is continued the board of visitors
will require it to be conducted in ac
cordance with the regulations of mod
ern war
Some years ago I expressed to Dr
E A Alderman president of the uni
versity my objection to football be
cause it was uot a recreation for stu
dents because many were making it a
profession because it developed the
brutal instincts of our nature and be
cause it should be no part of the cur
riculum of the university A student
who has broken somebodys nose at
football stands higher than a master
of arts A man ought not to go to col
lege to learn to be a circus rider or a
prizefighter
Dr Alderman says there is great
danger to life and limb in football and
that the dauger must be eliminated
before it can be played any mure But
if the danger is eliminated uothiug will
be left of the game The danger is uot
only the chief but the only attraction
to the mob that gathers to witness it
The defenders of such sport say it
develops the manhood of youth 1
deny it unless y manhood they mean
physical strength My idea of man
hood is a sense of honor and courage
and such qualities may exist in a weak
body
The difference between the past
and the present in great American uni
versities is the distance between
Stonewall Jackson and John L Sul
livan Football simply develops the
brute dormant in human nature and
puts the player on a level with an Es
kimo or a polar bear
Napoleou once said Scratch a Rus
sian and you find a Tartar implying
that Kussiau civilization was only skin
deep If the university is a fair rep
resentative I fear that the same sar
casm equally applies in Virginia My
observation has been that athletes be
long as a rule to that class who are
invincible in peace and invisible in

A baby cannot have too many bibs
and there is nothing a mother appre

for the flowers and simple outline stitch
for the stems and scrolls Set the ni

An acceptable present for a baby is
the sets of silver safety pins that come
on three rinzs tied together with a

crib there are slips the exact size made
with small buttons and holes so that
a fresh one may be put on with little

LINCOLN TRIED IT
And That Ended tho Naval Sweatbox
Punishment
On one of Mr Lincolns excursions
to Fortress Monroe on the steamer
Hartford hi ISIM his attention was di
rected to a narrow door bound with
Iron the una of which he was anxjus
to learn
What Is thlsV he asked
Oh that Is the sweathox was the
reply It Is used for refractory and
insubordinate seamen A man In there
is subjected to steam heat and has very
little ventilation It generally brings
him to terms very quickly
President Lincolns curiosity was
aroused This he said to himself
is treatment to which thousands of
American seamen are probably sub
jected every year Let me try it for
myself and see what it really is
Taking off his hat for he was sever
al Inches over six feet in height he ii
tered the Inclosure which he found to
be little more than three feet in length
or width lie gave orders that at a
signal from himself the door should
be immediately opened It was then
closed and the steam turned on
lie had been inside hardly three min
utes before the signal was given Pres
ident Lincoln had experienced enough
of wlmc was then regarded as neces
sary punishment for American seaineu
There was very little ventilation and
the short exposure to the hot and hu
mid air had almost suffocated him
Turning to Secretary Welles of the
navy department the president ordered
that no such inclosure as the sweatbox
should ever after be allowed ou any
vessel Hying the American flag
It was not an hour after this order
had been given before every sailor on
every ship in Ilamptou Beads had
heard of it The effect was most re
markable on the older sailors many
of whom had themselves experienced
the punishment of the sweatbox Some
of them wept from joy
But the good results of this act of
President Lincoln were not confined to
the American navy Great Britain
France Germany and other European
countries heard that the sweatbox had
been abolished in America as inhuman
One and all of these nations in turn fell
into line and today the sweatbox is
not to be found on any vessel flying
the flag o fa civilized nation through
out the world
RAN THE BLOCKADE
Putting Through a Risky Piece of
Business at Santiago
Some naval oilicers at a dinner party
the other evening were discussing the
efficacy of the Cuban blockade in 1898
That many vessels ran the blockade at
Havana Cienfuegos and elsewhere
was admitted
But only one vessel ever ran the
Santiago blockade said one of the
speakers and that was one of our
own vessels the little Gloucester
lie then described how the Glouces
ter ran the blockade while command
ed by Dick Wainwright then a lieu
tenant commander who had previous
ly been executive officer of the Maine
when it blew up
We had been sent down to Asser
raderos to communicate with the in
surgents said the raconteur who was
on the Gloucester at the time Upon
our return it was quite dark and we
were proceeding slowly to our station
on the inside line of the blockade when
the electric signaling apparatus broke
down We could not give a signal
particularly the private identification
signal of the night Dad we been dis
covered by one of the blockading ves
sels it would at once have flashed the
signal and if we did not immediately
respond it would have promptly open
ed fire We would have been blown
to pieces in a minute
It was a risky piece of business but
Dick Wainwright was perfectly cool
and the Gloucester actually picked its
way without beinir discovered through
the whole blockading fleet took up its
station on the inside line under the
Morro and as soon as the signaling ap
paratus was repaired reported its ar
rival It was a clear case of blockade
running but it was mighty ticklish
while it lasted San Francisco Call
An Intelligent Cow
A few nights ago a citizen went
home and found a cow in his yard
He drove her out He then went into
the house and later heard the animal
in the yard agaiu He drove her out
the second and third times The citi
zens son came home later and found
the animal in the yard and drove her
out The citizen then made an inves
tigation and found the cow got in by
wading around the fence on the rivet
side He hung up a lantern to deceive
the cow as she came in and the next
morning so he says he found the cow
in the yard with the lantern hung on
her horns using the same to hunt out
the best grapefruit in his grove Say
what you please but that was an in
telligent cow And the story is true
of course it is Fort Myer Press
