Venezia -Murano, in Venice, a company famous
the world over for its work in mosaic and its
dainty artistic glassware. The pieces of enamel
composing it vary from some measuring a half
by a quarter Of an inch, to others of such di-
mensons that, for example, twelve thirteen
may be counted in the iris and pupil of an eye.
Mr. Dielman endeavored to make a design
which should be a decoration in keeping with
the interior Of the banking hall. and of such

and understanding OF the depositors and other

CONTROLLING THIRST

Letter to The London Times
The habit of drinking, even cold water, is one

necessity arises. When a boy l had the ambi-

NO SELECTION YET MADE
POSITION OF FIRST ASSISTANT POST
MASTER GENERAL,
Messrs. Beavers, Allen and Machen
partment Will he Appointed.

The administration has not yet decided
upon any one to take the position of first
assistant postmaster general that will,
shortly become vacant through the resiCpa-
lon OF Mr.. Perry S. Heath. who has been
made secretary of the national republican
committee. The declination of Mr. Guild of
Boston was a disappointment to Postmas-
te.r General Smith, who was heartily in ia
For or the appointment. believing him to he
model man for the office
Although the names of several post of: re
offlciais have been mentioned in connection
with the position, it may be stated authori-
tatiVely that the selection will be made
from the outside. The name of Mr.. Geo.
W. Beavers, superintendent of the salary
and allowance division, has been promi
hcntly mentioned in connection with the
position, but it is believed his services are
considered too valuable to permit of a
change at this time. Mr.. Beavers has been
Mccarthy Endorsed, however, by prominent
men from all over the country and Son
ator Plat of New York heads the New
York delegation in his favor Realizing
however, the Importance Of giving the ad-
Wlhlstratlon free hand in the matter and
not desiring to embarraSs il by having his
political friends urge his selection upon the
President, Mr.. Beavers has discouraged the
canvass made in his behalf, and has asked
his friends to desist
Mr.. George NJ. Allen, chief clerk Of the
hrst assistant postmaster general, has also
bcen prominently mentioned for the office
Mr.. Allen is a well-known newspaper man
OF Indiana and enjoys the confidence and
respect of large number of friends who
would be glad to see him advanced The
Indiana delegation has signified its inten-
ton of indorsing him, but the absence OF
Mr.. Allen at present handicaps his chances
Mr. A. w. Machen, superintendent of the
delivery service iS a val
but Mr.. Machen's conscientious handling Of
the important department under his super
vision takes him out of the race.
1t Is believed the matter will be taken up
al today's White House conference. Post
master General Smith said today that since
the declination of Mr.. Guild the selection
of successor to Gen. Heath was up in the
air. and every one had a chance.

COL. A. S. DAGGETT
COMMANDER OF THE FOURTEENTH
ON ITS WAY TO CHINA.
Led the Dusky Members of the 25th
Up the Mauscr-Swept Hill
at Ell Caney.

Col. A. S. Daggett, commanding the
fighting 14th.' now on its way to China
is one of the ideal soldiers of the regular
army. 1t was Daggett, then lieutenant
colonel commanding the 25th. who led the
negro soldiers up the steep, Mauser-swept
hill at FL Caney and wrested the stone fort
from the Spaniards. capturing the blood
and gold ensign and ending the fight before
less intrepid commanders came forward to
receive the formal white flag of truce.
That unsupported dash of the dusky 18th
was perhaps the most conspicuous achieve
ment of single regiment in the whole
Santiago campaign, and upon Lawton's
strong recommendation it made Daggett a
brigadier general of volunteers.
Aaron S. Daggett Is described as an eX-
tremely piGus man who was never known
to drink. smoke, swear or gamble. He was
born sixty-three years ago in the town of
Greene, AndrOscogg!n county, Me, and
went to the front in June, 1861. second
lieutenant of the 9Th Maine Infantry. rising
to captain within two months.
He became a major of his regimn mt in
January. 1863 and two years later. when
the great army was being reduced to a
tenant colonel in the Jth United States Vet
eran Reserves. His service in the civil war
was continuous with his regiment in the
field in the Army of the Potomac from
1861 to 1865. In that time he was wounded
severely at Bloody Angle and again at Cold
Harbor. Among the hardest fights he par
ticipated in Were the first Bull Run. An
tietam, Fredericksburg. Gettysburg. Kappa

and Petersburg. He was brevetted in 1897

Chafee's Rank to Be Commensurate
With His Command.
SATISFACTION At THE SELECTION
How the Provisions of the Law
Are Met.
COUNTING THE MARINES

The President today appointed Brigadier
General A. r. Chaffee, United States vol
unteers, who is to command the American
military forces in China. a major general
of volunteers in order that his rank should
be commensurate with his proposed COM
mand. This action was received with great
satisfaction at the War Department and
in official circles generally, where General
Chaffee is held In high esteem. He is con-
sidered by his brother officers one of the
most capable and thoroughly equipped SOL
diers in the service. Although General
Miles recommended that Major General
Bates. now In the Philippines. be assigned
to the command Of the troops in China, he
is well pleased with the promotion of Cen
eral Chaffee. His recommendation was
made on the ground that the services
called for required an officer of the rank

as colonel and br.gad!er general for his
whole record.
In July, 1866 he received a commission
from President johnson as a captain of
infantry in the regular establishment. He
was assigned to the 9th Regiment and
served in the southern states. Alabama
Florida, Georgia. Mississippi and South
Carolina, until 1877, being transferred to the
I'd Infantry in 1869. For eleven years, until
the Maine was blown up Daggett was con-
tinuously on the western frontier becoming
a major on the 18th of January, 1892 and
lieutenant colonel Of the 25th In October
1895. When the Santiago expedition was
forming Daggett did not get any Of the
volunteer commissions, but had an opportu-
nifty to lead the black fellows who won the
colors at Ell Caney, and reached the crest
of San Juan Hill with the first. Those ex-
ploits made him brigadier general of VOL
unteers for two months, and then after a
few months recuperation in Colorado he
was promoted to be colonel of the 18th,
which he hurried to join In the Philip
pines. After a year of the hardest fighting
there he has recently had his men guard
ing Manila and preserving order in that
city.

miral Bradford and lives with her three
daughters at Cambridge, Mass.
