WHAT sENAroR sHERMAN,s FRIENDs HOPE.

WHAT SENATOR SHERMAN'S FRIENDS HOPE.
The friends of Senator Sherman in this city
are inclined benef that he be selected for the
place because the fact which they tell that at the
beginning the Senate esson in March last the position
was quietly offered to him by the Republican
senators before they knew that il would be the
policy OF Mr. Hendricks in the chair continuously
TO prevent any Republican from being made president
pro ten. The place Is regarded by Mr.. SheTman's
friends as a srppngstone to the nomination for Prcs-
dent by his party. But at the same time they argue
would not be advancement for General Logan
in that direction. II the General Is elected. they say
he could refuse denomination tor Nlcc-Piesidcnt
and so would taken OF the list of Presidential
possibilities From what is sItd here the position lies
between Sherman and Logan unless both should decide
TO support "a third like Allison rather than have
conflict Shermans friends want him TO get the place
IN order to demonstrate his strength TO the public.

a Lost Art.
To the Editor Of the Press:

L U ttC lZUttOI W tftO 4 tNov'
When one see daily newspapers dotted all
over with advertisements of ''easy ways Of
making money" at the rate of 81 day at
home without work, and when one knows
how many people answer these advertise
ments actually in good faith, one becomes
impressed by the anxiety Of poor women to
live by their wits. In many family the
mending is not half done dressmaker's bills
are burden though dresses are few; un-
derclothing is bought 'ready made though
cotton cloth is eight cents yard and ruffies
are to be had for the making. The girls of
the family go without a coveted, pretty
cambric dress because, though the dress will
cost but dollar and a quarter, the making
of it will cost four dollars. These girls
"hate to sew and don't know how; and then
it takes so much time to practice their piano
lesson They'd like to, earn little money
for spending money if they only know some
genteel way of doing it. They search the
newspapers daily-for ways of making four
dollars day without work"
Why not teach them to sew? There are
patterns of every thing wearable. Could
anything make woman look sillier than to
stand and stare at piece of gingham and a
pair of scissors and bemoan her ignorance as
l saw the mother of three little girls, (and
the wife of poor mani do last week." 81
irish / knew how to use patternsl If l make
dress for Ida May or Clara Belle, one-half
will be upside down and the other half
wrong side out!''
In the name of common sense and economy
| why don't women learn to sew? Mrs. Perry
| whose advertisement appears in your
columns teaches the whole subject from
cover and over seams and backstitching and
| hemming," to the use of the sewing machine
and the laying on and cutting out and bast-
| ing of patterns. 1t needs to be and can be
| learned by SYSTEM like any other accom-
| plishment Why do not the girls who would
| iike to earn spending-money SGre little in
the way of plain sewing and easy dress
making?
| wish l could see sewing class made up
of twenty girls, twenty years old, all of
whom now practice four hours day at a
! piano, playing badly for the most part and
| indifferently at best In the interests of
music wish they would put two hours out
of those four into the practice of plain sew
ing. Let us revive the lost art and add to ii
the ''use of patterns"
oh that it could be made fashionable and
genteel A LOCKER On.

THE SILENT sTEED.
Fourth Annual Tournament of the
Springfield Bicycle Club.
A Great Day for Breaking Records.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. S-The fourth
annual tournament of the Springfield Bicy-
Gle Club opened today under the most auspi-
ciOuS circumstances. Six thousand people
attended the afternoon races, which We're all
interesting, many being so hotly contested as
thusiastic crowd. Englishmen won eight out
of the ten races. The record-breaklng was
remarkable, no less than twenty of the fast
est times having been cut down.
In the three mile amateur tandem tricycle.
race, Robert Cripps of Birmingham, Eng
broke the worlds records for one, two and
three miles, making the distances in 2.46

mile amateur race, fouled George M. Hendee
when these two and d. e. Hunter OF Salem,
Mass, took headers, and breaking two ma
chimes, Hendee's hopelessly; also injuring
Stones right hand, and cutting open Hen
dee's right shoulder. Hendee, however, will
race tomorrow.
The tournament opened at $50 a. M, with
trial heats designed to weed out the slow
coaches. The track was in perfect condi-
ton, and even in these opening daSheS four
records were cut,-M. ]. " Webber of Eng
land, three mile amateur bicycle race, to
8.34 2-5; Robert Cripps of England, three
to 221 and 3.02 1-5; and the one mile amateur
safety bicycle race by A. f. Engleheart of
England, to 2.4S 1-5. The prize winning
events of the day began at 2.30, and the rae
ing was opened with a splendid one mile
handicap dash by professionals, in which
Fred Wood of England (scratch) won, break
ing the mile record, in 235 3-5; Robert How
ell of England (scratch), second, and break
ing the three-quarterS in 1.52 %
The ten mile amateur championship in
which the accident ON the back stretch threw
out three leaders when Hendee was shooting
ahead with the best chances of winning was
taken by K. P. Burnham of Newton, Mass. /;
w. A. Rowe of Lynn, Mass, seconds Burn
ham broke the six, eight and ten mile records
as follows: 1918 10. 24.40 and 1924 %

The Monhegan Mail,

1t has become the custom for few men to
bid off the small mail routes in New Eng
land at rates below what the stage men, who
have established a little home business that
in many cases barely paid them a living, con-
slider equitable. These men were specula-
tors, who do not expect to carry the. mail
themselves but sublet to men with horses
and carriages in the business, who rather
than lose their little passenger and expires s
routes, would take the mail at a rate from
$50 to 500 less than the price awarded. In
this way, but the multitude of routes, the
speculator was getting living and perform
ing no service. Capt. W. s. Humphrey, the
MOnhegan mail carrier, has solved the prob
lem of 'how to deal with these sharks" The
prices awarded being so unreasonably low,
$262 year, he positively refused to take the
contract unless $500 year additional was
added to it. The contractor after becoming
fully satisfied the route was not navigable in
punt as he is in innocence of salt water I'M
agined and realizing he had indeed an ele-
phant of the largest kind on his hands agreed
to give the $500 year in quarterly install
ments, as the department pays The bonds
he offered not being satisfactory to Capt. II. .
he insisted upon the full amount of bonus
$500 being paid in advance, which, after
much unsatisfactory correspondence was
done.

THE MAxWELL-PRELLER AFFAIR.
A Young Jail Bird Who Claims to
Know MAXWELL

CHICAGO, Sept SIN the county jail here
is lgood looking young man of about 80
years of age. In manner and appearance he
is gentleman On the oath of July last, he
was held in the criminal court in $1,6Co ball.
for the theft.ef sacramental plate from
church on Ashland avenue, Chicago. He
gave his name as James Crepanier, and
claimed that young man employed in a
dentist establishment gave him the articles.
The report is that the prisoners real name is
Leonard Roach, and that he is wanted in st.
Louis as witness in the MaXwell-Preller
murder case. Roach claims that he was at
school with Walter Maxwell in 1869 and 1870
and with his brother George; that they were
sons of a Mr.. Maxwell, a wealthy pottery
merchant of the town of Stafford. He met
Maxwell in company with Preller at the
Southern Hotel at st. Louis ON Sunday
afternoon, April 18th. They talked over old
times, and he knew Maxwell thoroughly.
After the excitement caused by the murder
he wrote to Dr. Rush, president of Claren-
don College and also to the president of ST.
Bartholomew hospital confirming his
views. He has no doubt that Maxwell is
really the Maxwell with whom he was at
school. Young Roach, who is at present in
jail, claims to be the eldest son of Mr.. Geo
Roach, who has been two or three times
mayor of Hamilton. Ontario.

The Augusta Postmastership.

A Boston correspondent of the New York
Sun says that day or two ago Secretary
Endicott was in Boston, and that he talked
freely with gentleman concerning his rela-
tions with the President and the recent re-
port of a pending disagreement over the
Boston collectorship. We print the follow
ing extract from the letter
Secretary Endicott spoke qnite freely about the
attitude of the administration toward the eandi-
dates for certain other offices. Referring to the
Augusta postmastership, Mr.. EndcOtt said: "You
may be sure of one thing; the President would
not appoint Mr.. Morton if every Democrat in
Maine requested it,"
The Secretary explained that the President did
not question Mr.. Morton's democracy, but he did
question his manliness. He was willing TO allow a
newspaper great latitude in a political campaign,
but when an editor paraded a vile scandal against
a candidate before the people of his own city for
the purpose Of outraging the feelings OF the mem
bers of his family, the President regarded such an
individual as less than man, and he would not
appoint him to an office under any circumstances.
