a BAR SERMON.
a Deep Grounded Respect for Cool
Common Sense.


Weak men study to do exactly what
has been done before. Great men I'M
derstand that each day is a new day.
A weak man takes a drink that he
does not want, because he is asked.
The thoughtful man whose mind is ca
pabIe of governing things and men,
as well as himself, says, THANK you,
I shall be pleased to join you if a,
liquor be used that will add to our vi
tality and ability to do things If not
know you will excuse me, for health
is paramount and reason should gov
ern.'
Fine sermon that over a fancy ma
hogany bar, but, after all. every man
deeply respects the individual who is
guided and governed by cool judg-
ment and common sense. If one finds
his habits of food or drink are produc-
ing some hints of disease he should
heed natures plants and properly ad-
just his diet to keep his beautiful ma
chinery in order.
One does not always know where to
commence to correct a diet, but one of
the SureSt spots is coffee, a most skill
full and insiduous enemy that sings
one to sleep and knifes him.
Its slow, but sure effect on heart
finally produces weak pulse and weak
faint feelings at times which grow
slowly but steadily more pronounced
unless the cause be removed.
Postum Food Coffee furnishes a de-
licious beverage, high in nutritive val
ue, for those who are troubled with
coffee.
1t has been widely initiated but the
pure can be obtained in the sealed
packages with the red discs thereon
containing the trade mark 1T makes

MAY SEND BLANCO HOME.
Spanish Army in Cuba is Still in Re
Autonomy a Failure.

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Press from Washington says;
Advices from Havana are to the eff
feet that Capt. Gen. Blanco must join
with the rebellious army or return to
Spain The mutinOuS officers are hav-
ing. everything their own way. None of
the ring-leaders of the recent attack
on the newspaper offices has been pun
ished. It seems to be the best opinion
in Havana that Blanco will yield to
the demands of the army, but he has
no authority to abandon the plan for
autonomy.
Reports that Marshal Campos may be
sent back to Cuba are premature. He
might be tried again, it is thought, but
the knowledge of the feeling among
Spanish classes must inevitably make
the Sagasta ministry uncomfortable.
The time does not yet seem in sight
when the volunteers and the Havana
populace will seek to put the Captain
General on ship board and send him out
of the country, or when his own army
may turn against him. 1t may be sig
nificant of the prevailing unrest that
it should be discussed at all, but the
discussion is not a sign that it will
happen.

BOGUS PASSES
Representing $4,000 Found in the
Office of q Chicago Broker.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-While looking up
evidence against W. H. Blose, a ticket
broker at 2O2 Clark street the police
found in one office bogus passes, most
~ editorial. which apparently repre-
scented $50 900 that had been secured
from unsuspecting strangers. The
discovery has led to the belief that
a band of swindlers in the guise of
ticket brokers is in existence in Chi
cago and reaping a harvest by the sale
of bogus tickets.

Boston, Jan. 22-In consequence of

$500, 900 additional for the sewer divis-

When the loan shall have been made
it is probable that about 700 will be re-

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The latest figures
obtainable show that Roosevelts pu-
rality in the State is not FAR from 10000
only ten counties in the State gave Van
Wyck pluralities and they were all local
ities swaycd by cities as New York,
Kings, Queens and Erie. The falling off
in Roosevelt's plurality as compared
with Blacks in 1896 is due 10 a decrease
in the Republican vote up the State Of

Against this Van Wyck gained 10000 above
the Harlem and 5000 below it as com
pared with Porter two years ago. In that

Democrats themselves. Nineteen Of their
candidates were elected, the Republicans
getting but hfteen. In the present House
the New York delegation stands twenty
seven Republicans TO six Democrats. In
Greater New York all the Democratic
candidates were elected, the most note
worthy change being the defeat of Lem

by Captain William AstOr Chandler,
where a plurality Of Quigg's two years
ago Of il 900 was overcome by Chandler
by a plurality Of 5000 TO 5000.

between Mr.. Croker and Senator Murphy
