alton bill for secretary to Postmaster
General, reduced from $4,000 to So, 800,
Minister Smith said:
The Minister of Finance will be here
in few minutes to look after this part
of the bill. In the meantime, l would
like to ask why the committee recon-
mends reduction in this particular
item?"
Rep. Richards-The committee visit
ed the Postal department and examined
the methods of conducting the different
departments and came to the conclu-
sion that the secretary has no more to
do than the superintendent of the
money order Department. fact he has
less.
Minister Smith am not familiar
with the affairs in the postal service,
but l understand this position of secre-
tary is really the Deputy Postmaster
General. He can be sent away in case
the books in any of the offices in the
outer districts are to be examined. The
Postmaster General has frequently
gone away on trips and the visits he
has made to other offices have resulted
satisfactorily. During his absence the
Secretary has had charge of the office,

a lot of routine compiling to be dona

Minister Smith told about the census

here would depend entirely upon the
amount appropriated for the purpose
With SIS 900 greater detail could be put

The motion to pass at $4,000 was

Rep. Bond opposed any attempt to re
duce this appropriation, as it was well
known that the school houses were 60
ing to wreck and ruin for the want OF
little paint and other necessary re-
pairs.
Minister Damon was willing to lea
the item pass at S12,O 900, and suggested
that it be placed in the appropriation
of the Department of Public Works.
Then it would be in the Interior De
partment, where it belonged.

inserted in the appropriation bill for

The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things rightin my
line, and the optical business
| is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each Individual case. Eyes
are tested in q scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimatedln such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects we'll, yet are con-
stantiy troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or &C
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight,
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbusineSS to supply
you with only these.

A dainty travelling set is composed OF
a cushion and pin roll. Take two
pieces of silk, about eight or nine
inches square, and make a fiat pin
cushion, tufting it with baby ribbon
the same shade. Then, taking a broad
piece of ribbon, about No. II or Is,
line to within two or three inches of
each end with a piece of eiderdown, in
any dainty shade that will harmonic,

these in pretty box that will serve for
future use and will pack nicely, and

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know Of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlin's Cough
Remedy. We have used it quite ex-
tensively and it has always given
entire satisfaction. -Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventive of pneu~
monia. Among the many thousands
who have used it for colds and lagrippe,
we have never yet learned of a single

Persons who have weak lungs or have
reason to fear an attack of pneumonia,

CANNOT EARN HIS SALARY.
Remarkable Step Taken by a Political
Appointee of wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec 17.-E. c..
Deane, of Racine, who was made deep
waterways commissioner of this state
by Gov. Upham, is going to make a
new record for officeholders He will
recommend to the legislature that the
Office be abolished on the ground that
there is nothing to do and no way for
the commissioner to earn his salary of
SIS, 900 year. He has done everything
in his power to find something to do,
but he is now of the opinion that the
Office is an unnecessary one, and that
the money expended by the state in
this way is wasted. He will favor the
appointment of committeeman without
salary, who will simply have
their expenses paid when they attend
deep-waterway conventions. His total
expense for his term of Office will be
less than $500. He attended two con-
ventions, took trip to Lake Superior
and wrote a few letters, and that COW
ers all the work that he could find to
do.

SDecial TO the NEWS.

Special to the NEWS.
London, Dec. 17.-An earthquake,
the most violent ever experienced in
this country, has shaken every shire
from Durham to Surrey and from Lon
don to the Welsh coast The subter-
ranean disturbance was first noticed
at about $50 o'clock this morning, and
lasted from four to thirty seconds. At
many points two distinct shocks we're
experienced. The most severe shocks
were felt at Cheltenham, Eedbury and
Dean Forest. The earth shaking was
accompanied by loud, rushing sound.
Buildings were violently shaken, fur
niture was shifted, doors were thrown
open, and pictures and other ornaments
were upset. The inhabitants were
panic stricken and fled from their
houses.
The earthquake also visited Birming-
ham and other various points in Shrop-
shire, and was violent in Worcester and
the country surrounding that city.
Houses rocked and furniture was over
turned. The shocks were followed by
a tremor Of earth, and we're accom-
panied by a rumbling sound. The
greatest alarm prevailed everywhere.
Chimneys we're overthrown, and win
dows, ETC., were smashed.
AT some points persons on the coun-
try roads were thrown down and
number of people were thrown out of
their beds.
Hartford cathedral was injured.
There the dull rumbling beneath the
earth's surface was followed by two
loud crashes and terrible lifting and
rocking. The panic at Hartford was
SO great that one woman died of fright.
People rushed wildly into the streets.
Many chimneys fell, crashing into the
thoroughfares, and all the pinnacles of
of st. Nicholas church toppled over,
and part of the pinnacle of the cathe-
dral fell to the ground.
At Liverpool the earthquake was
preceded by heavy thunder and fear
full hallstorm. In London the earth
quake was only slightly felt
A singular phenomenon occurred at
BridgenOrth, near Shrewsbury, previous
to the disturbance. The streets sud-
denly seemed to be OH fire and there
was violent report, accompanied by
shaking of the earth. People who were
going abroad in that vicinity say that
they were, for time, unable to walk,
owing to the vibrations.
There was very great excitement
among the rustics about Poole, who
thought that the end of the world had

as comes with bakers pies. Cover one
with black velvet. Paint or paste a
flower or sprig on the velvet a little

pie plate, cut it in two in the middle,
cover it with velvet, place it against
the entire plate and sew the edges to-
gether, forming receptacle for the
letters. Then decorate the lower part
of the receiver, supply it with sulta-
BILE cord, and with decorative bows and
it is ready for use.
A useful and ornamental bag is made
of brown linen, the back or foundation
being Is inches long and IA wide. 1t
is finished on the sides and bottom
with a hem II inches wide. The strip
of cloth for the pockets is ~ inches

contrasting color. Pink or blue is
generally used. Linen is preferred.
After the strip is lined, it is plated in
four double box plaits, each plait form
ing a pocket. A pretty vine is en-
broidered through the center Of each
box plat with wash silks. The edge
of the pockets and the hens of the
foundation or back are finished in coral
