pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has

birth. Mothers Friend is liniment to be

Into the muscles Of the abdomen. 1t gives

Washington, Sept 9.-Second Assistant
Postmaster General Shalenberger today
summary cancelled the contract Of mail
carrier for expressing sympathy for the
shooting of the President. The name
of the person who was thus dealt with
was Charles F. Cartwright and he had
a contract for carrying the mail between
Homer, Cortland county, n. Y, and
Spafford in Onondaga county, same State.
The information concerning his offence,
came to the Department through the
postmaster ct Homer. who enclosed affi-
dayitS from four citizens of the place
confirming his report. 1t appears that
when Cortwright first received the an
nouncement of the news of the attempt
upon the Presidents life he remarked
with an oath that he was glad of it,
and added that the President should have
been killed years ago. General Shallen-
berger cancelled Cortwright'S contract

ARRANGING THE DETAILS
Dewey and Benham Confer With
Judge Advocate Lemly.
THE SESSIONS ARE TO BE HEARD DAILY
They viii be From Ten to Twelve and From
One 10 Two. Captain Cook, Comman-
d.rof Schley S Flagship, His
First Witness.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 9.-Two members Of
the Schley court of inquiry were at the
Navy Department this morning, namely
Admiral Dewey, the President of the
court, and Admiral Benham. Admiral
Howison has not yet come to Washing
ton. Admiral Dewey was in conference
with Judge Advocate Lemly for somc
time respecting the arrangements which
Capt. Lemly has made for the seating of
the press and spectators in the court
room and as to other details.
Unless the Presidents condition should
change materially for the worse. the
court will meet on Thursday next exact
ly as ordered in the precept and the In.
quiry will begin at once. 1t had been
supposed that several days would be
consumed in organizing the court and
in dilatory adjournments pending the
beginning of the real work of inquiry.
The determination of the court, however,
is to settle down to work Immediately.
If objection is made to any member Of
the court that objection would probably
be disposed of by the court itself in
short order.
1t was arranged that the sessions OF
the court be held daily from 10 TO II
o'clock and from / to 3 o'clock. This
does not apply, however, to the time for
the assembling of the court. which is
fixed by the secretary's order. at
o'clock p. m. on the 18th instant. The
regular sessions of the court will begin
in accordance with the arrangement
made today at 10 o'clock on the morning
of the second day. In accordance with
the orders of the Department the court
will sit continuously from day to day,
Sundays excepted, until the investigation
is concluded.
Another officer of the court was
created today by an order detailing Capt
Henry W. Carpenter, of the marine
corps, to duty as provost marshal of the
court. AS such an officer it will be
Captain Carpenters special province to
preserve order and proper decorum on
the part of the spectators in the court
room. He will also exercise immediate
command over the small squad Of ma
rines detailed to various duties in and
about the court room.
Capt. Francis A. Cook, who command
ed Admiral Schley's flagship, the Brook
lyn, during the Santiago campaign, ana
Lieutenant Commander James H. Sears
spent practically the entire day in close
consultation with Admiral Schley's
counsel. 1t is understood that Capt.
Cook will be the first witness to take
the stand for Admiral Schley.

THE GOVERNMENT NOT IN 1T.
Knox Refuses Hackett's Request to APP
point Attorney to Assist Lemly.
(By the Associated Press.


Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 9,-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Hackett has been
pressing Attorney General Knox both by
wire and by letter to appoint one of the
Assistant Attorney Generals to assist
Capt. Lemly, the judge advocate of the
Schley court of inquiry, in the conduct
of the case before the court. The Attor-
ney General, however, has declined to
take step which he believes woule
look like government prosecution of the
officer under investigation.
The government in his opinion, should
have no part in the inquiry. 1t is an in
quiry under the Navy Department made
at the request of Admiral Schley and
the government has nothing to do with
it. The President recommended Adj
miral Schley for promotion, and now for
the Department of Justice to detail an
officer under it to assist in the conduct
of the case would inevitably be con-
strued as desire on the part of the ad-
ministration to convict Admiral Schley.
The Attorney General was sustained in
his position by all the members of the
Cabinet whom he consulted. The whole
matter was gone over carefully at a
meeting held in the Glenny House, adj
joining the Milburn residence, yesterday.

ion to Acting Secretary Hackett yester-
