WHERE GERMANS BEAT Us.
They Learn the Language of Their
Customers.

Washington, May 22.-Germany has
led and is still leading the world in COM
mercial education, says Consular Agent
Harris Eibenstock, in a recent dispatch
to the state department. The various
commercial school he says annually
send forth large number Of qualified
young men to take up lucrative and i'm
portant positions in the business world.
These young men he continues are
selling in distant countries products Of
the German empire ranging from a To-
connective to a clOthespin, invariably
having the advantage over their Ameri-
can and English competitors of being
able to speak huently the language of
the country in which they attempt to
sell their goods. Consular Agent Har-
ris attributes the efficiency of German
commercial travellers directly to the
splendidly conducted commercial insti-
tutes in Germany and recommends the
establishment of similar colleges in the
United States. The founding of a large
commercial university at Hamburg is in
contemplation.

HAS EVANS RESIGNED 2
A Rumor That the Pension Commits
sioner Has Quit His Job.

Washington, May 22.@The report that
the commissioner of pensions, II. Clay
Evans, las resigned is again in circula-
ton. Despite a statement today from
the Commissioners that he has not re-
signed, the report is accepted by many
as true. Mr.. Evans is said to have sent
his resignation to the president a week
age.
Mr.. Evans strict construction of the
pension laws and his correction of
abuses have made him very unpopular
with that class of pension agents known
as pension sharks They have used
every power within their mean to in
huence the old soldiers against Mr.. Ev-
ans, and succeeded so far that at the
last grand encampment in Philadelphia
an attempt was made to pass resolu-
tons denouncing the commissioners
conduct of the office. Cool counsel how
ever, prevailed and the resolutions We're
not passed. As a result of the work of
these sharks a resolution was recent
ly introduced in the house by Represen-
tative Curtis of Kansas. calling for an
investigation of the office. The resolu-
tio0 was referred to the committee on
invalid pensions where it now is.

TAYLOR FEELS BITTER.
Says That Beckham's Victory "Under
the Form of Law" is Still a Crime.

Indianapolis. Ind, May Ex-Governor
Taylor was last night handed the state
ment of Governor Beckham and after
reading it he said to a Journal reporter:
81 have no criticism to make of the
supreme court. That court does not
GO into the merits of the controversy. 1t
does not adjudge hat Mr.. Goebel got a
majority of the votes and no lower court
or tribunal will ever SO declare. Mr..
Beckham knows he did not get a ma
jority of the votes and so does every
other honest man understand it. The
supreme court simply holds that it can
not take jurisdiction.
9TH arbitrary action of the general
assembly was the greatest crime ever
committed against civil liberty. The
Republicans and liberty-loving Demo
Gratis have been long-suffering and sub
mitted to the foulest usurpation ever
perpetrated. The fact that this wrong
has been done under the forms of the
law makes it none the less a crime. The
success of the Democrats in Kentucky
is a triumph of force and fraud over the
liberty of Kentuckians. If Mr.. Beck
ham desires to rejoice because he and
his associates robbed me of al Office and
overturned the will of KentuckianS by
brute force, 1 shall not envy him in his
delight"

HARD TO BREAK.
But the Coffee Habit Can Be Put Off.

Il was a coffee user from early child
hood but it finally made me so nervous
that I spent a great many ~sleepIess
nights, Starting at every sound I heard
and suffering with a continual dull head
ache. Ny hands trembled and 1 was
also troubled with shortness of breath
and palpitation of the heart. The whole
system showed a poisoned condition and
l was told to leave off coffee, for that
was the cause of it. I was unable to
break myself of the habit until some
one induced me to try Postum Food
Coffee.
The first trial, the Food Coffee was
fiat and tasteless and I thought it was
horrid stuff, but my friend urged me to
try again n let it boil longer. This
time / had a very delightful beverage
and have been enjoying it ever. since,
and am now in a very greatly improved
condition of health.
My brother is also using Postum in
stead of coffee and a friend of ours, Mr..
w, who was a great coffee user, found
himself growing more and more nervous
and was troubled at times with dizzy
spells His wife suffered with nausea
and indigestion, also from coffee. The

DOESN'T GO WITH MOUNT.
Indiana Governor Refuses to Recog-
nize Beckham.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 22.-Charles
Finley, ex-Secretary of state of Ken
lucky, was arrested here last night for
completely in the Goebe plot but Gov
ernor Mount positively refused to honor
the requisition from the governor Of
Kentucky and ordered the release of the
culprit.
The requisition papers were issued by
Governor Beckham of Kentucky i'm
mediately upon tie receipt of the news
of the decision of the supreme court of
the United States and were brought
here by a police officer of Frankfort.
Governor Mounts refusal to honor the
requisition was written IN the back Of
the requisition ope and was as fol-
lows:
1.-The within application for the ex-
tradition of Charles Finley is hereby
refused this 21st day of May, 1900"
After it became known that Finley
a been arrested and lodged in jail,
state officers and the chairman and Sec
rotary of the Republican state COM
mittee, held a conference in the lobby of
the DenisOn hotel and sent representa-
tives to Governor oun room. In a
short time the announcement came that
Governor Mount had refused to honor
the requisition.
When Governor Mount was handed
the requisitiOn he asked to be shown
the indictment.
What was the complexion, politically
of the grand jury hat found this in
d~ictment?" he asked. The Kentucky
officer replied thai he did not know.
Were not all the members Demo-
Gratis but two?" the governor asked.
He was given the same reply, after
which the governor said very emphat-
ically:
I shal not honor this requisition. I
am in a hurry to catch a train and can
not give you my reasons. I shall simply
endorse that the reQuisition a been
refused"
Later Governor Mount said:
when the proper time comes I will
give an explanation for my refusal,
which will be satisfactory to any fair
minded person
The charge that I am protecting Re
publican refugees of Kentucky is not
true. I am acting on my own individ-
ual opinion in the matter"
w. S. Taylor of Kentucky arrived
here on the J. NJ. & I. railroad and got
off at the siding some distance from the
station. He can not be located, though
it is believed he and Finley met each
other.

the politician to an honorable limit, were
