DevIIn Stin at Work.

p. J. Devlin, editor of the demo-
cratic press bureau of the democratic
national committee, heads his bulletin
of July % with the appended:
To the Editor: You have no doubt
been misled by a report sent out from
Chicago, July 20. TO the effect that
the democratic national committee re-
Iieved me from the management of
the press bureau. The national COM
mittee did nothing of the kind. BY
an almost unanimous vote l was COM
plimented for the work done. The
committee simply disavowed respon-
sibility for my action in the Chicago
campaign. The press bureau will
continue under my management, all
goldbug inventions to the contrary
Inasmuch as the
false report sent out by the Associated
Press has caused considerable misap-
prehension in various sections, i re-
spectfully ask that a correction be
made in your paper. i do not say
that the Associated Press did an in
territorial wrong. 1t was, l believe,
made the victim of persons interested
in having information 60 abroad to
the effect that 1.-The democratic ma
tional committee had turned down a
radical advocate of bimetallism. -
Yours for victory in 1900.

Mason on imperialism.

In Senator Mason's Boston speech
he said: They tell us there would
be anarchy among the Filipinos. If
we did not kill them, they would kill
each other. Great God, i would rath-
err they would than be killing our fell
lows-wouldn't you Is it any less
anarchy for US to kill them than to let
them kill themselves? o, but the
man who SAYS God made him do it,
SAYS also, Why, Germany would have
got the country, or England. Well,
if there has got to be 10, 900 graves
might they not be Just as well those
of soldiers of the emperor or the
queen, as the graves of the Yankee
bows? (Applause-) Do we want a mo-
nopoly of graves in Luzon? (Laugh-

breath, you people are traitors be-
cause you prevent us investing our
money over there. Ask them if they

he can't find days work there. The
sun and climate are not made for
American workmen. or he for them.
Then they say that they afford chances
for investment for American capital.
That country will give employment
for our money. There is plenty of
work for our money today here. You
have seen labor starving. You never
saw a dollar barefooted or hungry in
your life. Our surplus money is en-
ployed. How many more hearts of
American mothers have we to break,
or how many more American boys
have we to kill in order to furnish
places for the investment of money,
or in order that few more money
makers in this country may find jobs
for the surplus capital they have?"

Coed Roads.

Gen. Row Stone. director of road in
quiry of the department of agricul-
ture. Washington. who is in New
York, says that more activity is be-
ing displayed in road improvement
than has been shown for years. not
only in the construction of new roads,
but in general agitation for their con-
struction. 'All the road-machine
manufacturers, he says, "are driven
with orders, and the Office of road in
quiry is overrun with applications for
advice on road legislation and assist
ance in road construction There are
perhaps forty road conventions slated
for this autumn, mostly in the north
west, under the auspices of the Inter
state Road Improvement association.
Object lesson roads are to be built at
a number of agricultural colleges in
the west and south. For this purpose
machinery is lent by the manufac-
turers through the office of road in
quiry. The use of convict labor on
road improvement is spreading rap
idly through the southern states. In
one locality, near Charlotte, n. c.. 20
miles of good stone roads have been
built in this manner. / hope to inter
est the great concerns manufacturing
automobiles in the improvement of
highways. The misfortunes of the
party now making the automobile
trip across the country shows the
necessity of better roads for this class
of vehicles. The League of American
Wheelmen has been potent factor in
the road improvement, and the
bicycle trust should be able TO do
even more in this direction"

News Notes of Interest.

The funeral of Joseph Schlanuch,
who expired at his home at the corner
of Guernsey and Nineteenth streets,
last Saturday night from typhoid pneu-
monia, took place yesterday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock from the late residence.
he funeral ceremony was witnessed
by large number of the deceaSed'S
relatives and friends and at the con-
cluslon the body was borne to Rose
Hill cemetery for Increment. The
funeral procession was one of the larg-
est that has been seen here for quite
while past. Goodly numbers of the
members of the Musicians Union and
the Bohemian lodge, of which organiza-
tiOns the deceased was a member, were
in line and were headed by band or
music composed of twenty-five pieces,
representative of the different bands
of the city. The obsequies were con-
Quoted according to the Bohemian Gus
tom. Two ladies, clothed in white, ap-
peared in the procession, one of whom
walked in front of the band, while the
other proceeded along in front of the
hearse. This was intended to signify
that the deceased was unmarried.
whose death on Saturday last was due
to complicated diseases of brief dura-
ton, took place yesterday afternoon at

funeral rite held over the body, the re-

Il find the doctors and the sages
Have differed in all chimes and ages,
And two n fifty scarce agree.
Doctors do disagree about your dis
ease, one physician telling you one
thing and one another, but the reason
for this is plain. 1t IS because you
consult ordinary practitioners, whose
time is spent among their fever pa
TENTS. Such physicians have no ex-
perience in chronic cases like yours. IL
you wish to learn exactly what your
complaint is, by all means consult
skilled specialist, physician VINO
makes the treatment OF nervous,
chronic and lingering diseases a spe-
cial life work, and who therefore
knows from vast experience just what
your trouble is and precisely how 10
cute it. Why not, for instance, con-
suit DR.. Greene of 35 West l4th St,
New York City, about your case? You
can do so without charge or cost, eth
er by calling or writing to him, for ne
gives consultation and advice aDso'
lutely free. He makes this class OF
disease a speciality, has seen and cured
thousands of cases like yours, IN TACT,
he has the largest practice and greatest
success in curing diseases OF any physl-
clan in the world. His medicines also
differ from those used by other doc
tors, for he uses no poisonous drugs,
but cures his patients with harmless
vegetable medicines, which, because
they act in harmony with the laws OF
life. are always curative and strength
ening. One of his medical discoveries,
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is used throughout the civil
lied world, and he has discovered no
less wonderful cures for all forms and
conditions of disease. Why not con-
suit him at once? If you cannot call
write him all about your complaints
freely, fully and in perfect confidence
1t will cost you nothing to learn Ell
actly what ais you, and his counsel
and advice are sure to do good.
