UNCLE SAM “SWIPES”
NAUGHTY POST CARDS,
Cities Which Offend Most
That Way.
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 28.
(Special)—Tons of “naughty” and ob
scene post cards are confiscated by
postal officials and sent to the dead
letter office in Washington. A re
port from this morgue of dedacent
literature, just published, throws
some interesting side lights on the
relative status of morals of the cities
of the country.
The number of obsence and in
decent cards .actually mailed in New
York is not much, if any, greater than
in Chicago, and is even less in win
ter. Very few cards of this character
are mailed in Philadelphia, Boston
is also comparatively moral, and St.
Louis is not as sinful, in proportion
to population, as many smaller cit
ies. In the summer months Atlantic
City furnishes an extraordinarily
large number of post cards that are
unmailable because of their indecency
and it is, perhaps, entitled to the palm
as the plague spot in the country, ac
cording to post card standards. Dur
ing the winter Los Angeles is not. far
behind Atlantic City, but in this case,
also, the apparent immorality is pro
bably due to tourists.
Foreign Cards Worse
While the post cards of American
manufacture, or those made for the
American trade, are often indecent
and suggestive to a point that leads
to their confiscation by the postal
authorities, they are comparatively
mild and harmless compared to
those that flood the foreign mails to;
this country. Hundreds of cards of
the vilest character are received at
the New York postoffice every day,
and are immediately sent to the dead
letter office. Especially is this true
of the cards sent to France, where no
censorship is established by the
postal officials, and where human de
pravity is the only limit to the inde
cency that may be depicted on a
post card.
Bray ton to Retire
t -
PROOIDENCE, R. 1., October 28.
(Special)—General Charles R. Bray
ton, Republican national committee
man from Rhode Island, and for more
than a generation a mighty power in
the politics of Rhode Island, has an
nounced his intention of not taking
any part in the present State cam
paign. With the retirement of Gen
eral Brayton, Rhode Island politics
loses one of its most picturesque fig
ures. Although blind for many years,
the general had a large following, and
his personality was a forceful ele
ment in the Republican policies in
the State. Os late, however, his poli
tical enemies have waged a vigorous
warfare against him with the result,
apparently, that the once-powerful
“boss” has decided that it was time
to quit the field.
His Dear Old Mother.
“My dear old mother, who is now
eighty three years old, thrives on El
ectric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brun
son, of Dublin, Ga. “She has taken
them for about two years and enjoys
an excellent appetite, feels strong
and sleeps well.” That’s the way El
lectric Bitters aflect the aged, and the
same happy results follow in all cases
of female weakness and general de
bility. Weak, puny children too,
are greatly strengthened by them.

Deafness Cannot Be ( tired
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the muqous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing hut
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

PHOTOGRAPHER HAS
HIS CAMERA SMASHED
Young Vanderbilt Objected
To "Snapping".
NEW YORK, October 28.—(Special) j
—William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., after his j
temper had been tried by a crowd of,
boisterous curosity seekers, dashed at j
a photographer this afternoon who i
had forced himself into the Vander- j
hilt party at the North German Lloyd ;
Line pier and “snapped” the Duchess
of Marlborough, and knocking the
camera from his hands, smashed it
to pieces.
When the Kaiser Wilhelm II docked j
at Hoboken the Duchess of Marlbor-;
ougli kindly consented to be interview- 1
ed and photographed. As soon as j
this ordeal, as she laughingly des-,
cribed it, was over the party landed,
then their troubles commenced.
A great crowd of longshoremen
and curosity seekers was grouped
about the gangplank, and hedged in
the Vanderbilts so closely that they
could hardly move. To make matters
worse, their automobiles were not in
sight. As a result, they had to elbow
their way through the crowd to the
street and find machines.
It was at this juncture that a per
sistent photographer stepped in front j
of the Duchess, completely blocking !
her progress, and snapped her pic- j
ture. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., im
mediately knocked the camera from
his hands and kicked it to bits.
“You'll pay well for this,” cried
the enraged photographer.
“I'd pay anything,” retorted Mr.
Vanderbilt, “to get out of this crowd.”
WHO USES HYOMEI?
The Best People in Americas, Say
Dodson’s Drug Store, Guaranteed
in Catarrhal Troubles.
No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures in
Americus as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues says Dodson’s Drug Store, who
are the local agents. The fairway in
which Hyomei was sold, to refund the
money unless it gave satisfaction, was
the best proof when it was introduced
that it possessed unusual curative
powers. Dodson's Drug Store took all
the risk of the treatment giving sat
isfaction, and left it to the purchasers
to be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well-known phy
sicians and business men and their
wives as a treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly
grew and today there is no other rem
edy in Dodson's Drug Store stock
that has such a large and staple sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's heal
ing air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei today on Dodson’s
Drug Stores offer to refund the money
if the treatment does not give you sat
isfaction. 29-31-5

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, TUESDAY, OUrO3ER 24. 1997
MAY TAKE OPE TRAINS
ON FIRST OF JANUARY
Night Trains on Seaboard
May Go.
Unless there is an appreciable im
provement in passenger travel on
the night trains operated by the Sea
board Railway over this division, be
tween Montgomery, Americus and
Savannah, the excellent service, oper
ted for two or three years past, may
be discontinued after January Ist,
next.
The management now has the mat
ter under advisement, and future ac
tion may depend largely upon future
patronage accorded these trains.
At present the service is operated
at a distinct loss.
For a long while the Seaboard has
been operating these through night
trains, equipped with first class coa
ches and Pullman sleeper, affording
speed and comfort for night travel.
But the patronage has fallen far
short of expectation.
Instead of increasing, as in the
case of the day trains, the patronage
remains at the minimum, and oftimes
it is the case that the trains run emp
ty, or nearly so, while the expenses of
operation continue. This fact would
indicate that there was no especial
need for these through night trains.
The Seaboard operates a double
daily service in addition, which seems
to meet every demand for passenger
traffic, and for some time the manage
ment has been considering the advisa
bility of taking off r.ne poorly patron
ized night trains, 73 and 74, operated
between Savannah and Montgomery.
The matter is now under advise
ment, and the business afforded dur
ing the next two months will deter
mine the maintenance of these very
convenient through schedules. In
such event the service would be oper
ated between Savannah and Helena,
only, a distance of about 110 miles.
It is to be hoped that the through
trains, Savannah to Americus and
Montgomery, will be maintained, and
upon a remunerative basis.

LIBERTY OF PRESS
WAS THREATENED
OTTAWA, ONT., Oct. 28.—(Special)
—When the Dominion parliament
meets here a month hence, one of the
most important measures it will be
called upon to consider is the govern
ment supervision of the telegraph sys
tems of Canada.
Recent attempts of the great railroad
and telegraph corporations to gag
and bind the newspapers of western
Canada and make them subservient
to corporation interests, through the
threats of the withdrawal of telegraph
facilities, has aroused interest in favor
of bringing the telegraph lines of the
dominion under the control of the
railway commission. One daily paper
was for a time arbitrarily refused all
the telegraphic privileges by the
Canadian Pacific Telegraph company,
because it had dared criticise the
conduct of the railway and telegraph
system.

MASCULINE ATTIRE
WAS GOOD DISGUISE
Masqueraded For 5 Years
As Man.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—(Special)
“It’s as easy as rolling off a log for a
girl to disguise herself as a boy and to
keep her identity unknown in this
city,” said Mrs. Natalie Clark, who
says her real name is Mrs. C. S.
Pool. “I have done it five years right
under the eyes of the Pinkertons and
the police.
“Not only that, hut 1 have earned
my living as a clerk in a jewelry
store —In one place for three years
and in a Maiden Lane shop for three
months. There never was a moment
when I felt fear of detection.”
In spite of her arrest for masquer
ading as a man, Mrs. Poole is so en
tranced by the freedom of the life,
and also by the comfort of masculine
attire, that she declared that as soon
as she could arrange to go West or de
vise some disguise to outwit the police
agent she was going back to men’s
clothes.
Men’s Clothing Healthier.
“While I believe it is far healthier
for a woman to wear men’s clothing,
and lead an outdoor life, I can tell
you from actual knowledge that it is
far more expensive to dress as a man
than as a girl.
“I found that just by wearing
men’s clothes I lost a lot of the pret
ty traits inherent in my sex, and I
learned to look at things from a far
broader point of view. I have been
married twice, but I will never mar
ry again, for I intend to lead the life
in which I have had my greatest hap
piness—as a man—if 1 can do so with
out being detected.”
Went to Find Husband.
Mrs. Poole gives as her reason for
assuming male attire that she wanted
to find her husband, who had deserted
her, and who frequented the cases and
poolrooms of the Tenderloin.
Mrs. Poole says she is the daughter
of a Russian princess, and that her
father, who is dead, was a captain on
a ship plying between Seattle and Al
aska. She was born in Alaska, and
she says there is Indian blood in her
family.
