JESSE FaRsE SUSPENDED.
Pos stma ster Wilcox Will Not Talk About
the Matter.

jesse Firso, one OF The city mail
'.arriers, has been suspended for al
legged neglect of duty. A LEAF
CHRONICLE reporter interviewed
Postmaster Wilcox this morning In
regard to the street reports, but he
declined to answer any questions or
give any information in regard to the
matter beyond simple statement
that Firse had only been sus s1ended
for a time and not dismissed. The
understanding, however, is that he
was suspended for INSTRUMENTATION
and neglect Of duty, arrogance and a
disposition to boss The whole busi-
ness. He went off to the Minneapo-
lis convention and stayed long be-.
yond his time, after the con gention
had adjourned, and since his return

CONTINENTAL UNION,
Enthusiastic Meeting of Canadians who
Want to Join Us.


ORANGEvILLE, Ont, July 8.-A great
continental union meeting was held here
Wednesday evening, large audience
being present. Both sides of the ques-
ton were well represented The princi-
pal speakers were William Algie, of
Alton, and Elgin Meyers, ex.c crown at
torney, who was deposed by the Ontario
government for his annexation views
Mr.. Algie told the vast audience that
it was not by threats or force of arms
that they were trying to secure a coati-
mental union, but by the ballot, and he
was sure the time was not far distant
when the people of this country would
have that privilege. England and Scot
sent and were happy and prosperous,
but Ireland was compelled to join
the empire, hence the present trouble;
and, moreover, English and Scotch peo-
pie were not as closely allied to one an
other as we are to the United States;
also that the natural channel for trade is
north and south, 4 4,000-mile front stud
ded with custom officers, costing $3, ,000,-
600 per annum to collect $7,0O0,0OO
would certainly have to go.
Mr.. Meyers spoke for nearly an hour.
His first point was comparison of En-
glish immigration. The United States
gets 81 per cent and we only get Is per
cent. And where the English people
go there their capital will go also. The
United States today is paying $500,00C
per day on English capital. Why NOT
get some of that American capital here
to develope our mines and timber lands
The speaker compared the American
border cities with the Canadian cities
opposite them, and declared that the
present difference in favor of the Amer.
lean cities would disappear under 9
continental union. Our towns and
cities and farmers, in fact everything
would reap some of the good resulting
from such step.
Mr.. Meyers concluded by informing
the audience, which had listened atten
lively, that no human power could put
down the men who had undertaken this
great work for the welfare of the coun
try.
Mr. Meyers was much -applauded by
all the ladies and gentlemen present
showing that he had many supporters.

Speaking of the removal Of the
Richmond and DanVille officials from
Atlanta, and their popularity there,
the Constitution says:
"Anong these is gentleman for
whom every one has something 10
say. Mr.. A. J. Poston, chief clerk in
the general passenger agents office,
made many warm friends here, The
Richmond & Danville has no more
faithful man in its service than he is.
Clear minded, imperturbable, he is
ever the same to the public and to

be better off and there would be less
friction with the public. His friend
will be gratified to know that he will
continue in his present position"

Two Rare French Coins.

Numismatists or coin collectors have in
teresting objects of search in two coins
which belong to the transition period be-
tween the French republic and the Second
Empire. One of these is TN extremely rare
coin which was struck off just at the mo-
ment of the assumption of the reins of en-
pire by Napoleon III. Only the die for the
diverse or head of a new imperial coin had
been completed, and by some accident, or
possibly by mischievous design, a coin was
struck off which bore the head of "Napo-
leon III, Emperor" on one side and
"French Republic" on the other.
This contradictory coin is of interest to
others than numismatists, for it symbol
ICES in striking way the many sudden
changes which have taken place in French
politics in the past century,
With the other coin a singular story is
connected. While Louis Napoleon was
"prnce president" and just before he
made himself emperor, decree was is
sued ordering five franc silver piece to
be coined bearing his image.
The dies were made, and one coin was
struck off as q sample and sent to the
prince president for approval. But some
time passed before he examined it. When
at last he gave 1t ms atJentlOn ne was an
noyed to ind that he had been represented
on the coin with "love lock, )" or hooked
lock of hair on the temple, which he did
actually wear at that period, but which he
thought unsuitable to so dignihed and
permanent a representation of himself as
an effigy upon coin.
The -presidentesent for the direc
tor of the mint and ordered him to remove
the Glove lock-" Then he found that his
silence with regard to the piece had beer
taken for approval, and that the stamping
of the coins had commenced
The work was stopped and the image de
prived of its undignifed lock, but the
twenty three coins that had already beer
struck off were not destroyed, and are nov
regarded as of great value.-Youth's Com
panion.

To Find Your Railway Car when Abroad

To Find Your Railway Car When Abroad.
Every traveller is aware of the trouble
and annoyance that is often experienced on
a long railway journey when, after alight-
ing for few minutes from ones carriage,
the bell rings and the driver blows his
whistle, while the bewildered traveller is
frantically running up and down trying to
recognize his carriage from dozen others,
all built alike and painted the same color.
Here he cannot, as in England, jump into
an empty compartment, for in France the
practice of overfilling prevails, so that he
must either find his place or lose the train.
The Paris-Lyons company has adopted an
ingenious device which will put an end to
all this worry and also make it easier fol
trains to start punctually from intermedi
ate stations.
1t is due to an engineer, M, Edouard Gros
and was to be seen working for the first
time last evening on the Marseilles ex
press. NJ. Gros remarked that the number
painted outside the carriage, often running
into five figures, is the very last thing that
will strike passenger or fix itself in his
memory. His device consists in placing
outside the carriage an enameled plate
with, as he calls it, a symbolical figure IL
black and white.-Paris Cor. London Tele

LOUISVILLE, July S.-The Cart
wright Spring Wagon Works made
general assignment about o'clock
yesterday afternoon to the Columbia
Trust Company for the benefit of
creditors. No property was reserved
and there were no preferred creditors.
The liabilities amount to about $780,
600, and the assets are estimated ut
1927 900. OF the liabilities $62, 500 is
represented by three-year notes is
sued six n onths ago, $4,000 of 1t be-
ing held by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company, $4,000 by
A. B. Davis, of Owen county; 5000
by w. G. Nonea, and the remainder,
ranging from amounts OF $500 up, by
various parties in Louisville.
The assets consist OF real estate,
plant and buildings on Walnut and
Madison street, between Clay and
Shelby, valued at $4,000, finished
and partly finished vehicles, valued
at $43, 900; notes and aud accounts re-
ceivable, footing $4,000; raw mate
rials valued at $4,000, and sundries,
which make the total $l27 900.
Besides holding 5000 of stock. is-
issued in payment for the plant of the
assigned company, and $4,000 in
notes, which are secured, the Ken
lucky Wagon Manufacturing Com
pany is not further connected with
or interested in the Cartwright Com
pany.
Mr.. ". G. Nones, president OF the
Cartwright Spring Wagon Works,
made the following statement in re-
sponse to inquiries: "The company
was organized about three years ago,
with a capital of $s7 800, under the
management of F1nis Cartwright.
He remained less than a year in the
management, and was succeeded by
John b. Baskin, who retired about a
year ago. Up to that time the COM
pany had been steadily losing
money. / took charge after Mr..
Baskin, hoping to pull the company
out, but 1t was n ore hopeless task
than ii at first seemed to be. / un-
dnrtook to make a change by better
ing the grade of wagons, expecting a
loss for the first year, but believing
that it would then prove successful.
When the inventory was taken a
few days ago, this loss was found to
be greater than had been anticipated,
land it was deemed best, In the In
terest Of the creditors, to make a
general assignment at once.
"Outside of the three-year notes,
the liabilities are only about $25,79l.
| I think tn, the company will pay
off all the debts, and that the loss
will fail only on the stockholders"

LOUISVILLE, July S.-The last of
the Christian Endeavor excursions
left yesterday afternoon for New
York. The trains were not SO crowd
ed as those the day before, but it was
a fitting wind.up for the most sue
cessful excursion ever run out of
Louisville. There were over thous-
and people who took advantage of
the unusually cheap round trip rate
to New York, and this made the ex-
cursion paying one to the railroads
interested. Never in years has there
been such choice of routes. There

l.. and NJ New York Central, at $lS;
l.. and N.-Erie, at SIG, and l.. and
N.-Pennsylvania, at $iS. Thus it
will be seen there was choice of
eight lines, with a diff renee in rates
between any two lines of only $2.
Iti not often all railroads enter SO
enthusiastically into tho race for ex-
cursionists, but when they do they
usually end up with business enough
to make all the officials happy. The
Baltimore & Ohio possibly had the
bulk of the local travel, it being the
official route. The Ohio and Missis-
sippi, being on good terms with the
B. and O., was benefited by it. The
O. & NJ. sent out 425 people altogether,
The Louisville & Nashville sent out
$50 people over its lines. About 225
others were nearly evenly divided
between he Pennsylvania and Ches'
apeake & Ohio, the latter being the
most popular.

Women who Talk Only of Their Affairs

AS n plea for the women who can talk
only of their own affairs one may quote
DIR. Johnson's words:
'Madam," he said to woman who was
complaining that women could talk of
nothing at all outside of their own four
walls, "why blame the woman for the only
sensible thing she could do-talking of her
family and her affairs2 For how should a
woman, who is as empty as a drum,
talk upon any other subject? If you speak
to her of the sun, she does not know it
rises in the east; il you speak to her OF the
moon. she does not know it changes at the
full; if you speak to her of the queen, she
does not know she is the kings wife How,
then, can you blame her for talking of her
family and affairsl"

THE METHODIST PICNIC.
Fully Three Hundred People Attend and
Enjoy the Day.

Judging from all reports, the
Methodist Sunday school picnic al
the Cave yesterday was decided
success, Notwithstanding the rain.
There were fully three hundred
people in attendance, and during
showers the mouth of the cave Of
forded ample shelter.
The dinner was an excellent one,
and after three hundred people had
been fed enough was gathered up to
fee as many more. 1t was good
dinner, just what picnic party
wants. There were boiled ham, fried
chicken, barbecued meats, pickle-
and jellies, cakes and custards, pies
and some more cake, and in fact
anything a person could want was
there in abundance.
Alter dinner the little fellows were
taken through the cave. There were
also many grown people in the party
but they went along to keep the little
ones from falling into the "Bottom.

is nothing half so big as a cave; to 6
man it is hole in the ground. The
boys enjoyed it and talked
