By a SmallMajority Vote on
Tuesday.
Our sister city of St. Augustine has
adopted the commission-manager form
of municipal government after a hard
fought campaign.
Great interest was centered in the
contest and a total of 812 votes were
cast. Three out of the five wards
gave majorities against the new char
ter, but thj majorities in the third
and fifth wards were sufficient to
overcome those against the measure
and give a majority in the entire city
of 18 favorable to the new govern
ment.
Under the new charter the city is
to be governed by three commission
ers who will appoint a city manager.
The city manager will be accounta
ble for the conduct of all affairs by
the officials under him. By means of
the initiative, referendum and recall,
the Deonle will have a check upon the
commissioners. The new commission
ers are to be elected July 14th.
Should the city council fail to call the
election, the appointments can be
made by the governor. Hereafter
cne commissioner will be elected in
January of each year.

py than good.
RAILROADS IN ARGENTINA.

Gov.rnm.nt Commission.
Argentina has a commission which
is lu some respect even more power

the number of trains to be run und in
slsts on tbe number of coaches. Ev
ery night train must carry a certain
number of sleeping cars, and dining
cars, or restaurant cars, as they ur
known In Argentina, are obligatory on
runs of certain distance. Every train
is obliged to carry a letter box. and re
cently tbe railroads have been squeez
ed into carrying the mails for nothing

bicycle this last to establish quick
communication witb the nearest sta
tion lu case of an accident ore com
pulsory on every passenger I ruin.
Every passenger coach Is disinfected
each month, and the precautions for
preserving tbe cleanliness of sleeping
cars are probably tbe most thorough
in the world.
No time table can be altered with
out the sanction of the director gen

vance of their taking effect. If trains
slop at stations not scheduled a beai i
fine is imposed, and all late train

GERMS ON SALADS.
A Simple Method by Which All Dan
ger May Be Avoided.
Drs. Loir and Legagueux of Paris
tested vinegar as a destroyer of the
germs of typhoid fever. That thej are
killed by a mixture of wine and water
hi equal parts has long been known
These luvestigators prove uow that
twenty grams of vinegar to a liter of
water kill the typhoid bacillus In au
hour and live minutes.
"From this," writes the Paris corre
spondent of the London Lancet, "a
practical Inference may be drawn con
cerning salads. After washing tbe nai
ad as usual, detaching each leaf. It
should be put into water acidulated
witu ten grams of vinegar to the liter
and remain Immersed In this liquid for
about an hour and a quarter. All veg
etables ordinarily eaten uncooked may
De subjected without any lnconven
lence to the same process."
A liter Is equivalent to about a quart
and ten grams are equivalent to about
a third of an ounce. So If lettuce or
other greens for salad be placed in
water to which about one-third of an
ounce of vinegar has been added and
be left for about an hour and a quar
ter all danger of typhoid fever will be
removed.
The Centipede.
The centipede was formerly a resi
dent of tbe southern part of this coun
try, but it nas gradually worked Its
way to the north, so that now It Is
quite common In nearly every portion
of the country. It thrives best in
damp and warm places and has its re
deeming feature in that it catches and
destroys many o? the mestlc pests
we are well rid of. Its methofl of
catching an Insect seems to be to spring
over it. inclosing und cagiug it with
Its many legs. Tbe belief occasionally
met with that the centipede feeds on
household goods und woolens or othet
clothing is without foundation. On
the" other hand, the bite of this crea
ture is undoubtedly more or less pol
sonous, the effect depending on the
susceptibility of the patient St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
"A Man Is as Old as He Feels."
Tbe well known saying. "A man Is
as old as he feels, a woman as old as
she looks." it seems, is pure Liver
pudlian, and legal at that. During the
trial of a breach of promise case there
arose sonic argument as to the desira
bility of a man of forty-nine marrying
a girl of twenty, whereupou the judge
delivered I be famous epigram. lit
even went one better, for. when coun
scl for the defense argued that tbe
lady bad had a lucky escape from
marrying such a man as bis client, the
witty judge observed. "What the wo
man losi-s is the man she thinks him
to be."l.iverpool Post

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is l,e
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any ca,fe of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) Jpat cannot be cured by

THE VOICE AND THE STAGE.
Being Good Elocutionist Doe. Not
Make a Good Actor.
Of all the things to eschew, elocu
tion schools stand first. Actors should
know nothing of the rules of elocution
as taught In any school of which I have
ever beard. I can ulways tell at the
first glance whether an actor Is a stu
dent of elocution. No good elocutionist
was ever a good actor. That Is, no good
reciter and elocution schools product
only reciters is ever a good actor.
Hecitlng and nctlug are two entirely
different arts. The reciter Is never
natural, never can be. Awhile ago oua
of the most distinguished professors ol
elocutiou in America he had the chail
of elocution at one of our biggest uni
versities c ame to be an actor. It was
thought that he would be something
wonderful, because of his knowledge
aud gift of elocution. He went back
to teaching. He could do that better
than most, but his acting was bad. Ali
the rules of elocution nil actor ever
needs can be obtained In singing les
sons. Now. proper enunciation of words
Is a different matter. An actor should
not have to be taught that, but If he
does need It It Is a pretty bad need,
and be should never rest until he bus
lost all slovenly habits. Some of my
friends think I am too severe on this
poiut. I am not One cannot be too
severe. It Is clean cut work, perfect
in Its smallest details, that makes for
perfect Illusion on the stage, and I am
always for sucb work. Henrietta
Crosmnn In Century.
A Tragic Wedding Ring.
A tragic story of a forgotten wed
ding riug is told In tbe "Lives of the
Lindsays." He should have been at
church when Colin Lindsay, tbe young
Earl of Kalcurras, was quietly eat
ing Ills breakfast lu ulgbtgowu and
slippers. Iteminded that Mauritia i
Nassau was waiting for him at tbe in
tar. be hurried to church, but forgot
the ring. A friend present gave birr
one, which he. without looking at,
placed ou the bride's tiuger. After tbt
ceremony was over tbe countess glanc
ed at ber hand and beheld a grin
ning death's' head ou ber ring. She
fainted away, and the omen inudeBUch
an impression ou ber that on recover
ing she declared she was destined to
die within a year, a presentment that
probably brought about its own ful
fillment, for In a few months the care
less Colin was a widower.
SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
It Takes Five Minutes For the Best of
Them to Get Under.
Submarines ore not easy to handle
and It takes considerable skill and
during to navigate tbem successfully.
Many people have the Idea that as soon
as a submarine sees nn enemy, the
officer in command gives a sharp order,
and almost before it has left his lips
the submarine is diving ueneatb the
waves.
As a matter of fact the very latest
submarines take a clear five minutes
before tbey can become submerged.
Many of the older submarines took ten
minutes to a quarter of nn hour to
sink.
Tbe reason that a submarine cannot
dire quickly, like a fish. Is because the
water which must be let Into her tanks
to make ber heavy enough to sink,
must be let hi comparatively slowly-.
If it were let In with a rush the
chances are the vessel would not go
down on au even keel, but would heel
over and be In great danger of dis
aster. If water, too, were let In too
quickly there Is a danger of letting in
too much and In that case the sub
marine would sink like a stone to the
bottom of the sea.
The depth at which a submarine
travels under the sea is regulated by
horizontal rudders. The water that Is
let in the ballast tanks is Just suffi
cient to "balance" tbe vessel in the
sea without risiug or sinking. London
