Dc,ycy Differs with the President.

In another column is "A description
of the visit OF President Mckinley TO
Ocean Grove last Friday and what was
said. In view of the fact that Admir-
al Dewey was tie first to open the Phil
lipine question and be as well informed
as TO those people as the President,
what the Admiral said in an interview
recently is of timely interest as it is
Numerically opposed to what the
President said at Ocean Grove. Dewey
said:
II have the question of the Phillip
pines more at heart than has any other
American, because l know the Fill
pinos intimately and they know l am
their friend.
The FilipinOs are capable of govern.
ing themselves; they have all qualifiea.
tions for it. 1t is a question of time,
but the only way to settle the insur-
rection and assure prosperity to the
archipelago is to concede self-govern'
ment to the inhabitants. That would
be a solution Of many questions and
would satisfy all, especially the Fill
pinos, who believe themselves worthy
Of it and are so.
81 have never been in favor of VIC
lence toward the Filipinos. Tie islands
are at this moment blockaded by a
fleet and war reigns in the interior.
This abnormal state of things should
cease. | should like to see autonomy
first conceded, and then annexation
might be talked about. This is my
opinion. l should like to see violence
at once put a stop to. According to
my view the concession of self-govern-
ment ought to be the most just and
most logical solution"

Officials of the Post Office Depart
ment look for the most gigantic lobby
ever organized to descend on Washing
ton next winter, to induce Congress to
grant larger compensation to the 1O,-
900 fourth-class postmasters in the
country. Their grievances are quite
numerous. They ask a minimum sal
airy of 500 per year, an appropriation
to enable them to hire clerks, and they
also want pay for rent, light and heat
that they furnish the government.
They also claim it is unjust to compel
them to buy their w stationery, and
not to allow them credit for letters
cancelled at the depots or placed on
trains at their towns. AT present they
are allowed 100 per cent. of the value
of the first $50 of stamps they cancel,
60 per cent, of the next 500 worth,
and 40 per cent. of the rest. If they do
a business of $3.50 for four successive
quarters, the office is raisedt to Presiden-
tial rank, VIM. II. Thomas, who is
pushing the National League of Fourth
Glass Postmasters, was dismissed at
La Grange, Mo-, for sending out circu-
lars asking contributions for this OBJ

ONE WOMAN'S SORRO w.


Grace Compton,, an inmate of Jennie Bells
house, 325 West Court street, was found
dead in her bed about 1890 yesterday morn
ing. She had retired about 100 a. m. and
had not been seen until one of the servants
went to her room. All day Saturday she
was unusually respondent, and talked a
great deal of suicide. The other women in
the house paid little attention to her
threats. About 6 o'clock Saturday evening an
enlarged picture of a man, whom she said
was her lover, was taken to the house and
hung in her room. From the time the pic
ture was taken in she changed and said
little, though she seemed to be brooding
over some unexplained trouble. About 1890
she called one Of the other women and
asked her to drink with her, saying it would
be the last drink she would take. The
woman was known here as Grace Compton
and Tessie Allen, and left a letter addressed
to Scott Proffett, COZ South Seventeenth
street, -Terre Haute, Ind, in which she adj
letter is as follows: For the last time 1
will write to you. I guess you thought /
cared more for myself and life, but 1 do not,
and so send you these few words. You go
and tell Helen that L told you before /
would give you up 1 would die. AS 1 have
taken poison. Scott, it is all for love of you;
so you be a good boy and never turn another
girl down that loves you. L hope you will
come and look upon me and say I died for
love of you, darling. l have nothing TO live
for any more, is the reason i do this. i
have no friends. or sister or brother who
cares for me, so i am better off dead, so
goodbye. Tessie 10 Scott. Please tell
Helen: maybe she will come along and keep
these last words. Goodbye, may God bless
you and take me to heaven. Tessie Allen.
Love and kisses from one who did love you
better than life. Ny God. why was / so
soon forgotten and left to die in such sorrow
and pain? Wife TO husband"
Jennie Bell. the keeper of the resort where
the woman died. said she had been with her
since state fair week, when she came here
from Terre Haute on a ticket sent to her
from here. Deputy Coroner Dunlavy, who
was called, was unable TO say how death
was produced. but it was thought to be by
laudanum. The body was taken to the
morgue and later by an undertaken. One
of the patrolmen on that district said the
girl had told him her right name was Grace
Compton and that her home was in Dan
Vile Ill.

CANNOT GET HELP.
enatO Guthrie's Experiences in the
Lumber Business.

Senator Guthrie. of Dupont. is in trouble.
He cannot find men enough to work for
him. The senator is engaged in buying and
selling lumber, and he buys the timber as
1t stands and ships ii out. Said he last
night: II have never in all the years L
have been in business seen such times as
these. The railroads are short in cars, and
we cannot get the lumber out. and even If
We could get the cars, we can't get the men
TO work for us. Heretofore we have been
able to find an abundance of men, ready
and willing to work, but now we cannot get
any men TO work. All are busy, and even
men who never worked before are at work
now. Men have been anxious to work for
US, because we not only pay them promptly
and we'll, but We have in operation the prof
it-sharing plan. In all my career 1 have
never seen anything like it, II is a peculiar
thing that when everything is moving and
business Is brisk. more people want 10 sell
timber and lumber TO us, and more want to
buy than when times are dull. j do not
know why this is unless people believe that
when business Is brisk they can get better
prices, and during dull times hold their
goods. We cannot get the timber moved
and what prevails i'm our business is true of
other businesses. i hope IL VIII keep up,
but / fear IL IS too brisk and that the re-
action Will come and prices drop some. 1t
is a serious problem for those who want 10
secure help and have their goods moved

ers in Session.

indianapolis, 1.-The convention city," will
continue this week to show the truth in the
statement that no sooner does one set of
delegates pass out of the gates at the Union
Station than another set passes in. There
will be three important gatherings here this
week and their concerns are wide apart
libraries, carriage making and banking. The
convention of the carriage manufacturers
of the country will be the largest of the
three meetings. 1t will begin "Wednesday
and continue the rest of the week. Two
thousand or more members of the associa-
ton are expected and the gathering will at
tract at least that number of agents OF
companies manufacturing supplies for the
carriage makers. The Denison House will be
the headquarters and many rooms have al
ready been engaged. The sessions will be
devoted to discussions of matters concern
ing the business. Recent inventions improv-
ing carriage manufacture in its details Will
be shown. The automobile, of course, will
claim a large share of attention, and it is
expected that automobile manufacturers
will send a large number of horseless car
riageS to the convention. There has been
talk of a contest between different auto
mobiles.
The Indiana anker Association will
meet at the Commercial Club on Wednes-
day and Thursday. The general prosperity
of the State and the country and the quick
ening of business are expected to make this
meeting particularly interesting. Reports
will be read from every congressional dis
trict in the State. 1t is expected that 80
members of the association will lie IN at
tendance. and bankers of Chicago and Gin
c%innati who are interested in Indiana bank
ing affairs have been invited to visit the
convention. Senator Beverage will be asked
TO make an address. A banquet will be
served at the Bates House Wednesday
night.
For three days, beginning Tuesday, the
National Association of State Librarians
will meet at the Statehouse. Governor
Mount will deliver the address of welcome
and Arthur H.. Chase, of New Hampshire.
will respond for the association. DAME
Waite Howe and Jacob T. Dunn of this
city, will deliver addresses in the course of
the convention. Cataloguing, exchange of
state documents, preservation of documents
of national or state importance and many
other phases of the office of state librarian
will be discussed.

THE SCHOOLBOYS' REVENGE.
Use the Telephone to Wreak Ven
geance ON superintendent GOss.

The state statistician's report does not
show for how many years schoolboys have
held superintendent of schools in fear and
hate. However painful it may be to ac-
knowledge it, schoolboys do thus hold him.
The mass of schoolboys do not come in con-
tact with a superintendent except to regard
him closely when he appears in the school
room and either whispers to the teacher
or makes a short address to the school,.
When he does either of these two things
1t is a matter of speculation beforehand
whether he is going to announce an I'M
usual holiday or has discovered some
w~rongdoing so fragrant as to demand his
personal attention. The history of each
public school and its traditions are handed
down from grade to grade of schoolboys,
and the most important epochs in them are
when boys have been to see the superin-
tendent p~erforce and have been expelled. A
boy who has been TO see the superintendent

some such tale as: He was so mad L

son of a prominent attorney, stole into a
room in the home of one of the trio while
none of the older members of the family
was about and placed a chair under the
telephone. Then the leader of the des-
peradoes. aged ten, climbed upon the chair
and took the receiver from the hook. He
