When Braun bought his coupon for
the berth he left his luggage in the seat

He did not return for two hours. ac-

did, he found the berth made up and

produced a coupon which was an exact
duplicate of the coupon given Braun.

SHERMAN REGRETS.
Says the Presidents PHILIPPINE Policy Is
Wrong.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-In response
to an invitation to attend an anti-im-
perialist mass meeting to be held at the
Academy of Music, on the centennial
anniversary of the death of Washing
ton, December 4, the following letter
has been received from ex-Secretary Of
State John Sherman, dated at Washing
ton:
II have a strong conviction that the
president erred in sending soldiers to
the Philippines to take possession of
their country. The United States had
wisely as | think, assisted the Fill
pinos In driving the Spaniards out Of
the Philippine islands, and should, l
think, have aided them in protecting
their country against all assaults. He
no doubt was advised to adopt the
measures taken, and all can do is to
express my regrets. Yours very truly,
"JOHN SHERMAN.

They NAV Be vice-admiraIs.

New York, Dec. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley, during an inter-
view with Senator Wellington, ex-
pressed himself in favor of reviving the
grade of vice-admiral in the interest
of both Rear-Admiral Sampson and
Rear-Admiral Schley. He believes
that this is the simplest solution of the
whole Sampson-Schley controversy,
and it is expected that Senator Well
ington will introduce bill in a few
days providing for the appointment of
two vice-admirals without specifying
names.
The president very frankly said that
II such bill became law, he would
promptly nominate both Sampson and
Schley in the order named. This ar
rangement, both the president and Sem
ator Wellington believe, will meet the
approval of a majority of the friends Of
both officers.

In a lot CT ways. For instance, the
convict never has to worry about clos
ing his shop nights. A Teller always
comes along and closes it for him. He
doesn't get half way home on the last
car and then jump off to run back for
the purpose Of finding out if he has
locked the door. Then there's lunch.
Oftentimes the barber can't take the
time to go out for a cup of coffee and
a sinker. It's different with the con
vict. He has to eat and he's never
troubled with indigestion, either. And
he quits work at 4 o'clock, too, and
after that hour no one comes to his
door to get him out to give a haircut
to a man who's got to so to a funeral
early in the morning. The convict
gets two months time every year. The
barber doesn't. He's lucky if he finds

strong. He never has to worry about

for him every month. And clothes!
The convict never is compelled to grow
a mustache so that he can work up a

he does is to tell the warden about it
