The following resolution was adopted by
the New York state encampment, G. A. r.,
in Syracuse, yesterday, and a copy teie-
graphed to President Mckinley:
Whereas, the United States is engaged in
war, asserting it's rightfuI authority over
the Philippines, and the army and navy
have been maintaining and enhancing the
glory of our flag among the nations of the
world that these strong arms of the gov
eminent have been subduing disorder and
insurrection for the purpose of creating
civilzng and Outstanding form of gov
eminent; and
Whereas during this contest certain citi-
Zens, in their capacity and through organi-
cations and public meetings, have been CIV
ing aid and comfort to the enemy, seeking
to secure prolongation of war and blood
shed, and creating discomfort and doubt
among soldiers and sailors in active service
discouraging enlistments and involving CEN
sure upon the government for it's policy;
therefore be 1t
Resolved, That this encampment de-
nounces those who thus act as guilty of
treason, not entitled to the protection of the
flag they dishonor and unworthy the name
OF American citizens.

FILES AND OLD RECORDS,
Where to Put Old Post Office Depart
ment Reports is n Puzzle.

There are upward of 1880 tons of files
the Post Office Department moves into it's
new quarters in the city post Office build
ing, and what disposition is to be made of
them is a troublesome proposition.
In the bill apportioning space in the new
building the Postmaster General was given
considerable discretion regarding the oc-
cupancy of the ninth floor. AS the files
anG records were a part of the post office
equipment they had to be taken care Of,
and it was thought expedient to put them
ever, committee was appointed to con-
slider the matter.
This committee has made its report. and
while il does not recommend the abandon
ment of the idea of storing on the ninth
floor this tremendous weight, it indicates
that the burden is too great and urges that
engineering experts be directed to calculate
the strain. Even If the ninth floor is used,
not all the records can be accommodated,
for the space permits the storing of only
~ per cent of those on hand. Many of
these old records are useless and others are
seldom referred to.
None Of them is current, and it is claimed
that either a separate building should be
obtained or the records destroyed. These
records are the same that came near wreck
ing the Busch building during Postmaster
General Wanamaker's administration.
The post Office officials it is understood,
are opposed to storing such a great weight
on the top floor, and if there is any other
way to take care of the records it will be
chosen.

ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Answer to Complaint Made Against
Il. and d. Company

Mr.. S. S. Hessler of S27 LIST street north
east several days ago complained to the
District Commissioners of alleged nui-
sances maintained by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company on premises So
and SIS LIST street northeast which con-
sisted, he stated, Of lack of necessary sewer
connections. The complaint was first re-
ferred to the health officer, who reported
that as the railroad company is a nom
resident 1t would be impossible to enforce
sewer connections under the drainage law
He suggested that the question be referred
to the attorney for the District stating
that he would make an effort TO require the
tenants to do their part toward preventing
the nuisance complained of.
The question was referred to the attor-
ney, who has reported that by act of Con-
gress of May 10, 1895, it Is provided in
case property owner required to connect
his lot with the sewer be a nonresident,
that notice by publication shall be given in
some daily newspaper published here, d.
recting the connection of the lot with the
pubic sewer, etc, and that IL after such
notice he fail to make the connection the
Commissioners may cause 1t to be made
and pay the expense thereof out of the
emergency fund and assess the expense
and cost of advertising as tax against
the lot. etc. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company being a nonresident of the
District, the attorney is of the opinion that

SHE GOT EVEN.
Her Sweetheart Wrote Her u Long
but Very Narrow Letter.

From the Kansas City Star.
One day a smart young man got long
pi-ce of ribbon paper out of a stock ticker
and wrote a letter on 1t to his girl. AS he
wrote he rolled the paper up. so that the
outside of the roll contained the closing re-
marks of the letter, which were:
'Of course you will not repeat what
have told you in this letter about Helen. 1t
was given to me in strictest confidence, and
I wouldn't think of telling any one except
you"
To find out what this was. the girl was
compelled to unwind the letter and wind it
up again. starting at the end. But she
could find nothing in it about Helen, al
though she read 1t twice very carefully,
and looked along. the back from one end to
the other. And It was most bothersome
letter to read.
She brooded over that letter several days
planning her revenge. At length she came
to q decision. She got large square piece
of cardboard and started her letter in the
very center of it, writing in an ever-wideu-
ing circle. Her very first sentence was:
Dear Jack, if you perseyere in reading
this letter you will find in it something you
greatly wish to know. If you do not read
it you will never know it, There was
ST mething he did wish to know, and only
she could tell him, so he buckled down to
it. At first he turned the paper around
slowly as he read, and In a few minutes
almost toppled ovsr with dizziness He
rested and tried 1t again, but was compelled
to stop, for his eyes burned and his head
ached. After another rest he placed 1t on
the floor, and, STOPPING over, walked slow
iy around it, reading as he went. The first
eyening he was compelled to stop before he
had half finished it, and before he had
come to the desired information.
The following night he tackled it again.
and in the course of an hours work, as
hard as any he had ever attempted, he
came upon this sentence almost near the
end: This is what l wanted to tell YOU.
Don't ever again try to be funny with me
/ can get even with you every time"
The young man didn't finish the letter.
but ne vowed to himself that he never
would try to be funny at her expense in the
future.

Those who have used DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription do not suffer from the
change of life either in face, form or feel
ings as do other women. This fact is due
to the intimate connection of the general
health with the health of the organs pecu-
liarly feminine. By preserving the health
Of these organs and relieving the system
from the debilitating drains, ulcers and in
Examinations which sap its health, Favor
ite Prescription paves the way for this
natural change to come in Natures way,
without the loss of capacity to please others
or the personal inability to enjoy life.
Mrs. NJ. Barnes, Of Balls Ferry, Shasta Co,
Cal, writes: My physician said was suffering
