0USTED A WIDOW.
Kentucky Republicans Win in n De-
tcrmined Postofiire Fight.

/ Senator Deboe of Kentucky mas won a
; stubborn fight before the Postoffice De
J partinent His antagonist a widow
but she was made determined by the fact
that she has ten children who depend on
her for support. and by the belief that if
she lost her fight she and her children
would have to face starvation. Under
I these circumstances the widow fought
! hard and long. but Senator Deboe, with
the Republican organization Of Kentucky
behind him, won. and yesterday Mrs Ger
trude Saunders was removed from the
postmastership of Newcastle. KY James
p. Gray was appointed in her place.
Mrs. Saunders husband. steadfast
Republican, died several years ago. He
was appointed postmaster under Presi-
dent Harrison, and when he died he left
to his widow the care of bringing up the
family of ten children She was APP
pointed to succeed her husband, and when
President Cleveland came in she was al
lowed 70 remain undisturbed. Through
the first Mckinley Administration she
still held the office. During all this time
there were no charges against her.
A dentist named Gray lives at Newcas
tie. He is voter, member of the Re
publican County Committee of Henry
County, Ky, and he thought the Newcas-
tie mail should be handled by himself in
stead OF Mrs. Saunders. The Henry
County Republican Committee is or
ganization unique even in Kentucky poll
tics. 1t is composed of fifteen members,
of whom ten pOStmaSters i'll that
county. Gray was one of the nNe who
Were not postmasters. When the candi-
date appears for a postotiice in such
county as Henry the Matter is usually re-
ferred to the county committee. There
fore it was easy for the county committee,
every time a postoffice became vacant,
to endorse one of their own circle for the
office, and they have done so regularly.
So when Mr. Gray became a candidate he
had behind him ten postmasters of Hen
ry County. as we'll as the whole Repub-
lican Committee, while Mrs. Saunders had
nothing but the good will of the patrons
of her office.
Last June Senator Deboe and a party
from Henry County came to Washington
for She purpose of ousting Mrs. Saunders
and installing Mr.. Gray. They an
nounced that they intended to stay In
Washington until Mrs. Saunders had been
superseded. \ day or two later Mrs.
Saunders appeared-smail and pale, hut
gritty and determined. She besieged the
office of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General the Postmaster General. and
even the President, until she had secured
an audience with each and explained her
case. She returned to Kentucky with the
assurance that she had excited the com
passion and secured the support of all
these high officials and that she could
remain in office
That was in the latter part of June
The excitement died out The postmas-
rs-committeemen-had returned with
out Mrs. saunders scalp. Yesterday
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow caused some surprise ny an
nouncing her dismissal and the appoint
ment OF Dentist Gray. The office pays
$50 month. and will allow the new post
master time TO attend to his regular busi- |
ness

POLICE PROTECT SMUGGLERs.
4 United states Agent Ordered Ont
of Windsor, Ont.

WINDSOR, Ont, Aug T. Because he
was too aSsiduoGs in the discharge of his
duty DIR. Alvin T. Gregory, one of the
special officers in the employ of the
United States Treasury Department. was
ordered out of Windsor this afternoon,
and the order came from the chief of
police
The special reason given for this drastic
action was that Gregory was injuring the
trade of the local merchants by spot
ting women who cross the river from
Detroit and buy such contraband articles
as silk and laces and then systematically
and artistically arranging their purchases
beneath their skirts, return to Detroit
without paying duties to the United
States. The Treasury officials have long
been aware that smuggling was being
carried on here on an extensive scale. but
as women have invariably been the Of
tenders it has been found extremely hard
to trap them. So large has this American
trade become that the large stores have
special dressing rooms for their American
patrons. where the goods to be smuggied
can be arranged at leisure.
Some idea of the extent to which this
smuggling is carried on can be gathered
from the fact that Detroit patronage
alone is estimated to be worth at least
half n million dollars a year. In addition
to this, the United States Treasury Off
cials have to keep a close watch on
Windsor to prevent the smuggling of val
liable goods shipped from foreign coun-
tries. Medical Instruments. manufac-
tured in Germany. are frequently shipped
in bond from New York to Windsor,
where a favorable opportunity is waited
to send them across the line. The same
plan is followed with the coal tar prod
ucts, opium, and other goods.
Gregory, in order to detect offenders,
was compelled to wait outside the shops
until the women emerged with their pur-
chases. He then followed them across on
the ferry and when the boat reached De-
troit the smugglers were taken into the
custom house and searched. The Windsor
merchants noticed their American trade
was decreasing of late and blamed it to
the vigilance of Gregory. He was charged
with lettering on the streets. Officer Ell
lott accosted him this morning and told
him that he would have to leave town or
be arrested and Gregory chose the former
alternative
MIR. Morris, the United States Consul
when informed of the affair. expressed
great surprise. He says he will bring the
matter to the attention OF the Dominion
Government at Ottawa.

1t has been proved that the compare
lively harmless bombarding. so far as
wounds are concerned, of besieged
town Is terribly demoralizing to the
bravest men.
When a shell bursts near q group or
20 men it may kill one and wound two
while the remaining II escape without
a scratch. 1t will be found. however.
that many Of these are never the same
men again. No matter how iron nerved
they were before. they are now IT.
resolute and timid. and all their facul'
ties are weakened. Very often they
are jeered at by their comrades be-
cause of this change. But this IL ut
terly unjust In fact, their brain and
spinal cord have been injured by being
violently shaken against the walls OF
their bony cavities.
The same thing occurs In railway
collisions. People who were robust
become quite feeble and nervous,
though they may not have received a
scratch.
This curious state in the case Of
soldiers is well recognized by doctors
under the name Of the mental injuries
of explosives. The injuries are really
quite as physical as shattered leg,
for they consist of kind Of bruising
of the very delicate tissue of the spinal
cord and brain.
