HITCH IN. POSTAL CoNGRsS.

Washington, May f8.-Something Of a
hitch In the preliminary proceedings Of
the universal postal congress has been
encountered, owing to the discomfort
with the organization Of the committees,
and II is said that the majority reports
of the three committees will be
strongly opposed in the congress. The
opposition Is based on the contention
that the organization of the committee
and the sub-committees does not rep
resent the general sentiment of the con-
gress. The gouth American delegates.
II is said. feel that they ore not recog-
Dized, and II IL hinted that the votes Of
the Is delegates from South and Central
America might be thrown solidly against
the majority committee reports on all
vital questions.

Differences Are Essential.

The differences that exist among men
are essential, They are wisely ordered,
nicely adjusted to each individual capac
ity, and promote the general good. We
are soverally placed just where we are
needed and where we eau do the best.
We should learn the lesson of self
roliance-not self assumption, not self
conccit, not cgotism, so insuiferable and
yet so prevalent, but an honest, brave self
reliance. Each man should win his way
in life hy his own cxortions. While he
should not reject but accept gratefully the
aid his follow mon may rroffcr-for no
man is independently he must press on
with all his might rs II he were alone
Men who go through life relying on the
assistance of others, and making no effort

Money Is a Power.

Money Is a power; the sword Is a
power; the pen is mightier than the
sword. but character is the greatest power
of all; IL consecrates money, sheathes the
sword and guides the pen.
Character utilizes all our gifts and
talents, be they great or small, and forms
and combines them into a true and
symmetrical manhood
A mans life Is what his character is
il is the fruitage the outward develop
ment Of his soul, and If we measure
man, his character or the value of his life
by the amount of his perishable posses
sions, we employ the lowest possible
standard. If any man finds his life, all
its Joys, hopes, aspirations and possibilities
I'm the narrow sphere of such matcrialitios,
he has lost his life for time and eternity

Gertie Reynolds. McAuliffe and OReilly
have long been friends. and Miss Rey-

panied by his brother Con and several
friends, went down on the pier and
McAuliffe accused Burke Of uncompli-

who ducked cleverly and sent I'm a
