BRISTOW IN CHARGE
Has Relieved Rathbone as Director ol
 Posts in Cuba

Havana, May 21-Fourth Assistant Post master General Bristow today took the di- rection of the postal affairs of the island, relieving E. G. Rathbone director of posts, who was suspended. It had been conceded generally that the suspension must come as the charges against Mir. Rathbone of crimi- nal negligence have been multiplying daily It is asserted that he has not shown any indications of a desire to have official re- ports kept, and that he has improperly en- dorsed expense accounts, his own and Neelys, to a surprising degree
 During the investigations now in prog ress Mr. Rathbone will not be allowed to leave the island It is reported that w. H. Reeves, in his confession, made charges that reflect seriously upon MT. Rathbones S honesty.
 Mir Bristow and the inspectors have found nothing but chaos throughout the en- tire department Often no records were kept for days at time, and to get a thor cugh insight calls for the services of every inspector now here.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.

Hallie Erminie Rives writing in the sition that "The new woman does not ex- ist," has the following to say
 There is no such thing as a new woman. There never has been. There never will be. She is the one impossible she-the con- tradiction of the centuries-the worn out and banal spectre from No Woman's Land sister to the snark and the purple COW that no one ever hopes to see. Femininity, by whatever name we call it, draped in what ever domino of social convention, whatever the blandishments on its lips whatever the magnates in its hands, is now and always, foreverthe same. It is times despair and changes ignominy.
 'Troys Helen of the golden hair, who shook the topless towers of Ilium;' Dido kissing the rosy cheek of the boy with eyes swimming in the haze of an Aeneas; Cleo patra, breasting the curled head of her Ro-
 man warrior; the woman who binds on her | lover the sword of endeavor today and l hopes and loves and suffers and is silent all these are types of the One, many y-sided, many-hued, mysterious, elusive ever ap- prehended yet ever evading a last analysis, beckoning interest yet denying comprehen- sion, leading, compelling, drawing by it's very force and nature-the Eternal Femi- nine.
 The new woman, so called, is as old as sex. The idea doubtless antedated that of the family. It struggled and was clubbed

TWO CANDIDATES IN FIELD

New Orleans, May 1.-The delegates to the annual national convention of the Tray elers' Protective Association, which opens tomorrow night, are now practically all in the city.
 At o'clock this evening the St. Louis special of six Pullman cars brought in a delegation from St. Louis, and among them National Secretary Louis T. La Beaume. National President Lucian " La Taste of Montgomery arrived last night.
 The Tennessee and portions of the Ken lucky delegations arrived on the morning trains and there are now in the city dele gates from almost every state in the union present to participate in the opening exer- >cises of the eleventh annual convention of the travelling men.
 There are now two avowed candidates in tl4e field for the presidency, and both have their emissaries on the ground doing valient work E. o. Burrows of Peoria H., and w. D. Johnson of Knoxville Tenn, are the two aspirants for the highest honor in the g--1 of the association.
 President Lii Tastes Address
 More than ordinary interest is centered in the annual report of President La Taste, dS u lS uilueTSlOOu that ne VIII devote considerable space to the subject of trusts. It will be read on Wednesday and promises to attract national attention. President La Taste, it will be remembered, appeared before the industrial commission at Wash ington last February to testify concerning the effect of trusts on travelling men in general. It developed at that time that he was single tax man of the Henry George persuasion which believe that all trust evils would be eradicated by the adoption of the single tax idea as enunciatned by MT. George. MT. La Tastes report will give what in his opinion, is the effect of the organization of trusts upon the com mercial traveller. He VII illustrate by saying that the trust holds over the trav- eler about the same power that the for mer southern shareholder held over his slaves.
 The trust magnates may not have chas- tised the travelling men but they have the power to do so and therein lies the great evil of the system MT. La Taste says that his report will denounce trusts to this extent but he was not prepared to go fur ther into the details of the subject until it had been read and acted upon by the association.
 The T. P A. now has 16,262 members 136 more than last year.

MORPHINE AND
 WHISKY HABITS

Dr. Westmoreland by scientific research has discovered a perfect antidote, and in forty-eight hours guarantees to destroy all desire and craving for Morphine Cocaine Choral, Whisky and kindred drugs with painless and harmless remedy The quan- tity the persons uses or the length of time they have used any of them makes no dif- ference whatever.
 CURE GUARANTEED
 Patients will be received and treated promptly, and not one cent Will be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit Is destroyed. The patients should remain (though very few do) under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can. be given in secrecy, and is so mild that the most delicate have taken 1t with little or no suffering. In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he Is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated a slave
 Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these enslaving hab- its or diseases Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he Is guaranteed a cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition unless he knows he can cure you?
 No one that is addicted to any of these dreadful diseases or habits should fail to avail himself of this great opportunity of being cured at once of these the greatest ther information call on or address
