POSTAL CONSOLIDATION.
Boston Cited as an Example for Re
form alton.

Washington, Sept. 10-"Chicago's ex-
ample in consolidating suburban and
other postal stations under the main
Office" said Chief Beavers of the sal
ary allowance division, could be fol-
lowed with profit and beneficial results
by other large cities throughout this
country. Under existing circumstances
some of the larger cities are being milk
ed of postal revenues through sharp
practice which is prevalent particular
ly among suburban postmasters.
within the last few days have been
making. a tour of New England and
paid particular attention to Boston. 1t
was developed in the course of my in
vestigations that postmasters at su-
burban resorts or stations have been
swelling their receipts by inducing
owners of factories or persons transact
ing business in Boston to purchase their
stamps and have their letters Cancelled
a t the country place in which they hap
pen to reside. This took off a big slice
of postal revenue from the Boston office
and both parties to the transaction
seemed to think it entirely legitimate.
There are postoffices in this country
paying postmasters So, 900 in salary
yearly which, according to proper and
legitimate postal business transactions,
should not pay more than $500. 1t is
wonder that Chicago looms up as the
second city in the Union from a postal
revenue standpoint. Everything in
Cook county is under the control of
Postmaster Gordon, and the conse-
quence is a big showing for the city
every year"

PILL EATING CONTEST.
Three Indiana Young Men Engage
With Fatal Results

Decatur, Ind, Sept. 1O-At Wiltshire, O.,
four miles east of here, yesterday, A-Van-
natta, Fred Morrison and E. Kohn, three
young men, whose ages range about Is
years, entered into a contest as to who
could eat the most pills.
The pills were secured at drug store
and Vannatta at twelve, Morrison thir-
teen and Kohn sixteen. In a few hours
all became deathly sick and doctors were
called, but it was impossible to relieve
them of their suffering, and last night
Vannatta died. Morrison and Kohn are
lying in a serious condition. and doctors
say they cannot possibly recover. The
pills taken are what druggists usually
sell in cases of biliousness. Vannattas S
home was at Warsaw, where his parents
reside, and where he will be buried.

Actor Matthews Shoots Himself in
the Head and Dies.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 10.-Wm. Mat
thews, an actor, blew his brains out
in front of his wife's bedroom in the ST.
James hotel. The couple, who belong to
Girard's Inter-ocean Vaudeville COM
pany, now playing at the Standard
theater, have been stopping at the hotel
during the whole week, but lived sepa-
rately.
At the coroners inquest, Mrs. Mat
thews testified that she and her hus-
band had not been on good terms for
a week and were occupying separate
apartments at the hotel. They had
quarreled about one of the actresses
in the company now playing at the
Standard whose name Mrs. Matthews
refused to divulge. She said she thought
her husband was too familiar with the
actress.
Mrs. Matthews said. she was awaken
ed by her husband rapping on the door
and asking to be admitted. She thought
from his voice that he was drunk, and
she refused to open the door, rearing
he would shoot. her A moment later
she heard a shot fired outside her door.

OUTHWAITE FOR SENATOR.
Ohio Gold Democrats Nominate a
Full State Ticket

Columbus, O., Sept 10-At the gold
Democratic convention the opposition
succeeded in having a plank slipped in
to the platform, declaring it ineXpedient
to nominate a state ticket.
A lively discussion was precipitated
by this coup of the minority, and it de-
veloped that the question involved was
whether the party organization could
be maintained more effectually by NOM
mating or not nominating a state tick
ct.
Next to the nomination of a state
ticket, the most important action of the
convention was indorsing a candidate
for United States senator. The propo-
sition originated with the Franklin
county delegates, and Joseph Outh-
waite of this city, was unanimously in
dorsed. The following state ticket was
nominated:

TRUST BEER.
Gigantic Combination of Brew
ers and Maltsters Forming
With a Capital Stock of $780,
900 900.
CLOSE SMALL PLANTS
They Will Shut Up the Little
Concerns
And Run the Beer Business of
the Whole Country.

Chicago. Sept. 1O-A special to The
is learned here that two of the principal
promoters in the big mailing company
which was formed in New York few
days ago are the Milwaukee maltsters and
brewers. Instead of being a simple COM
bination of maltsters, it apears that the
brewers are also interested in the COM
bination, and that it is to be conducted
on such a gigantic scale that it will vir-
tually control the brewing business of the
country.
The American Mailing company as the
new combine will be known, will have
capital of $4,000 600 instead of $15.OOO,O0O as
was announced from New York. Half of
this stock will be preferred and on this
there is a guarantee it will pay per
cent annual dividends. 1t cannot be
learned here who are the brewers outside
of this city who are interested, but it is
claimed that there are number of Chi
cago and ST. Louis concerns interested.
The American Mailing company in the
course of time will centralize the manu-
facture of malt in such places as Chi
cago, Milwaukee, st. Louis, Philadelphia
and New York.
All the smaller plants will be closed
down. In this way it is calculated that
millions of dollars will be saved annually
and will go to swell the large profits
which are already made by manufactur-
erS of beer.

INTEREST ON A So LOAN.
Chicago Man Befriends a Tramp and
is Well Rewarded.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-John Hauschild, a
well-known north slider, will buy wine for
his friends. He has heard from the
Klondike. Two years ago Mr.. Hauschild,
Justice Hall, Tony Denier and AL Collins
loaned & to a. poor, forlorn tramp whom
they had known in better days. Later he
wrote Mr.. Hauschild from Sitka that he
was after gold and when he found it
would reward his benefactors.
Yesterday a letter received from him
via Fort Cudahy and Seattle announced
that he had struck a 5000, 900 mine, secured
his money, was on his way home and had
for Mr.. Hauschild $1,000 as a reward for
his generosity in securing the original g
for him. In proof of the truth of his
statements he inclosed Mr.. Hauschild in
bank bills sewed together $10o for the
purchase of cigars and other good things
until he reaches Chicago.

PERU AND GOLD.
Silver, However, Will Be Legal Ten
Ger, With Unlimited Circulation.

Lima, Sept. loft is likely that the
Peruvian government will adopt a
financial scheme similar to that of Hol-
land. This is, that silver coin will be
a legal tender with unlimited circula-.
tion, but its value will be fixed on a
gold basis.
From the single silver standard sys-
tem Holland in 1916 adopted the double
standard upon a ratio of 1873 to /:
again returned to silver in 1S47. and
again to the double standard in 1875.
The unit is the fiorin or guilder of 100
cents, the full legal tender pieces being
the 10 and fiorins of gold and the half
form rix doler of silver.
The weight of a fiorin in gold would
be .67z of a gramme, or 1927 grains,
9e0-1 900 fine. The silver form is 945-
1000 fine, and weighs ten gramn1es. Ac-
cordingly the, gold florin equals 40.2
cents and the silver f1orin 1913 cents.
Coinage of silver is on government
account only since December, 1877. Pa
per money is furnished by the govern
nent to the extent of 10000. 600 f1orins,
said to be entirely covered, but appar
emily not by coin.

ENGLAND AND THE CANAL.
Reports That She Will Build the Pan
anna Denied on All Sides.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The attention
of Senior Julio Rengifo, the representa-
tive of the republic of Colombia, was
called to the reports that Colombia had
granted a concession to England to
complete the Panama canal, thus trans
ferring the mammoth enterprise from
French to English hands. Senor Rem
gifo said he had no information from
his government on this subject. as the
canal project did not come within the
jurisdiction of the representative in
Washington At the same time, speak
ing from an extended acquaintance
with the canal affairs, General Rengifo
expressed great doubt as to the ac-
curacy of of the reports and pointed out
a number of circumstances showing
that it was impossible that such con-
cession to England or any other foreign
government had been igranted.
Only a few weeks ago Director Gen
eral Hu1in of the Panama Canal COM
pany was in Washington and paid his
respects to General Rengifo before re-
turning to Paris. The call was unof-
fetal and one of courtesy, but General
Hulin spoke with the greatest satisfac-
ton of the work being done by the
French company and gave no intima-
tion that any transfer to English
hands, much less to the English gov
ernment, was contemplated.
1t is pointed out by the officials con-
versant with the status of the canal
that no concession could be granted to
a foreign government, either by Colom-
bia or by the French company, as the
latter is expressly prohibited from
granting advantages to any particular
nation, and Colombia has already trans
ferred her interests to the French COM
pany. 1t is not doubted, however, that
the French company is enlisting private
capital in the enterprise wherever it can
be secured, either in England, the Unit
ed States, France or any other country,
but this is regarded as without signifi-
canoe.
At the state department no informa-
ton has come from the consular officers
at Panama that any change in the
canal concession had occurred.
Secretary Sherman stated that, while
he had official information on the
subject, he was convinced that there
was no truth in the report that Great
Britain had undertaken to complete the
Panama canal.
England had no desire to embark in
such an undertaking." he said, "and
had no such intention. Individual sub
jects of that country have interested
themselves in vast enterprises in all
parts of the world, but so far as I know,
there are no indications that they have
gone into the Panama canal scheme

ON CHILDREN'S HEARTS.
The Trades Union Congress Declares
England is Building Her Empire.

Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 10.-The en-
ployment of children in factories gave
rise to considerable discussion in the
Trades Union congress. The National
Union of Gas workers and general Ia
borers introduced the following resolu-
tion on the subject:
Considering that the employment of
children in factories and workshop and
ON board river and canal craft, and the
consequent exploitation by capi-
talists is injurious to the children,
Just to their parents and a crime against
the human race; considering the in
famous fact that the children of the
working classes have not the same op-
portunitieS of the class room and the
play grounds as the children of the
capitalist class; considering that in this
connection Great Britain is behind 9TH
er countries; considering that unhappy
parents, under an unhappy system, are
actually willing. and even anxious to
have their children torn from school
and hurled into the factory, this con-
gress is of an opinion that the time has
come for Great Britain to cease build
ing its empire on children's hearts, to
give up coming its wealth out of chill
dren's wasted lives. and hereby in
structs the parliamentary committee to
demand as temporary minimum from
the government:
(A)-The abolition of child labor un-
der the age of Is.
(B)-Of all night labor under the age
of 1S
This resolution was opposed by the
delegates who represented the textile
workers. They declared that if the age
at which child could be legally en-
ployed was raised to Is years, the chill.
dren would never become efficient at
their trades.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 595. 900 to $4,000 of the unioniSts rep
esented by their delegates at. the con-
