out certain reforms in the second-class
mail service. His resignation was due

Henry c. Payne, who succeeds to the
Postmaster Generalship, is one of the
most prominent and influential men in
the party councils. lie has long been a
personal friend of President Roosevelt,
and his selection for the office was made
at the instance of the President alone.

tional committee Mr.. Payne has exerted
considerable influence in party affairs. He
was one of the men at the Republican
convention at Philadelphia in 1900 who

Mr.. Roosevelt permitted his name to be
voted on.

f1r HE different manners by which
people meet death are peculiar
When an engine boiler blows W
without scratching the engineer, and
when the prick from Il needle cause
death in a few days, one las reason to
wonder.
Blanche Young, of Wabash. Ind. was
the victim of a needle point. In sewing
SHE stuck the point deep ia her finger,
but continued with her work. The poi
sonous fabrics caused the injured mem
Der to swell terribly. Blood poison de-
yeloped and she died in agony.
Edgar z. Seeger, "a Chicago travelling
man. carclessly picked a pimple, which
appeared on his face, with n pin mt
Ithaca, N. Y, and died shortly from
blood poison.
Within a week the dentists chair cost
three lives in more or less direct way.
AT Sioux City. Iowa, the filing of Il
tooth caused IL stroke of apoplexy to
DR.. Adelaide L. Kilbourne, and she
died as she was leaving the chair. AT
Loyal, Wis. an aching tooth drove Kim
bal J.. Berry to Il dentist. 1t was a mo-
lar, far back in the jaw. and was so
firmly rooted that in the pulling Of ii
the jaw bone was fractured. Blood poi
son set in. killing the patient in a few
days. In Chicago the other day Miss
Mamie Ferry, of Oak Park, died from
fear of the dentists Chair, to which she
was going.
Little Barbara Bothman, of Jackson,
Miss, was the victim of the acorn. She
complained of pains in her side and
was obliged to submit to an operation.
In the appendix the acorn was found,
much enlarged from the heat and moist
ure. The child swallowed it Mt play.
She died from the operation.
Lloyd Rogers, of Galesburg, ILL.,, got
a grain of corn in his trachea and was
seized with a violent tit of coughing
from which he died.

RosEeERY ON TIE w.ag
Britain's Former Premier Outline. M,
Policy to Vast Audience.

- ltYA
Policy to Vast Audiencc.
Lord Rosebery, eS-prcmicr of Grear
Britain, addressed a great crowd of Lib
erals ut Chesterfield. Derbysilire. 1t was
the most remarkable political gathering
the heydey of his fame.
R~osebery's policy, as %cnunciated in his
speech, may be summarized thus:
Prosecution of the war. but repeal of
Lord Kitchener's proclamation.
Recognition of Kruger and considera.
ton of proposals for peace offered by
Beers.
Liberal amnesty for the Beers; civil
rights to all taking the oath.
Liberal appropriation for rebuilding
Bocr homes and restocking farms.
Recognition of the war office.
Increased efficiency of the navy.
A national educational system.
Energetic inquiry into commerce and
industry.
Dissolution of Parliament and n new
general election.
Lord Rosebery said the ministry should
not promise more than it could perform.
Tie said the Queens speech in 1893 prom
tsed q new statutory parliament for Ire
land and the disestablishmcnt of state
,hurches.
Ina speech was a model to be avoided.
He advised the party not to move much
faster than the mass of the nation was
prepared to move; otherwise it would find
itself isolated. This advice could have
been better put by a better authority
than himscif-namcly, Theodore Roose.
relt, the head of the greatest democratic
community in the world, who said:
I'VE hope to keep going by slow steps.
not by bounds. We must keep our eyes
on the stars, but we must also remember
that our feet are on the ground.''
The speaker criticised Chamberlain for
his dangerous speeches, which aroused
the antagonism of Europe. He said the
government has also been t~actless in al
its dealings. Continuing, Lord Rosebery
said the war must be prosecuted, but the
country THst give up the Unconditional
surrender policy and treat With Kruger
for peace. lie protested against what he
understood to be Lord Miners policy
that there should be no formal close of
the war, no peace signed, but to hunt the
Boers until a few only remained, and
then to treat them as bandits. That
meant there would be no settlement in
South Africa. lie urged the government
to study Motley, and learn from the
struggle of the Netherlands against King
Philip, which was carried on by the an
cestors of the Beers.
There must be n regular peace, he said,
md to that end he would not be deaf to
any overtures from any responsible men
among the Beers, especially those sur
rounding Mr.. Kruger. They might repre-
sent an exiied, possibly u d%iscredited gov
ernment, but it was the government
which went to wal with Great Britain.
He would not have the government offer
terms, but it should certainly recognize
and consider overtures.
He cited the case of President Lincoln,
who did not disdain any means of COM
munication with those whom he regarded
Is rebels, and also the efforts of Bismarck
and Pitt to bring about a formal peace
with vanQuished foes.

UllG0qU. anu aeaiers nave expressed
--g great faith in the future of
prices, many announcing their intention
to hold their supplies until spring, when
the scarcity would be marked and quota,

ulative operators, as usual, anticipated
this tendency of legitimate business and
inaugurated a vigorous campaign. The
upward of option prices culmi-
mated when May deliveries at this city
commanded S332M cents. The advance was
too fast and the market carried beyond
legitimacy by the feverish speculative
buying. The reaction. although sharp, as
generally follows such spasms of buying,
has left the trade in an unsettled coudi-
ton.
The receipts are letting up and the big
Northwestern movement, which has been

ceipts last week were 1919 cars, a de-
:rease of 800 cars from the previous
week, and compare with 3,O77 cars last
year. The winter wheat movement is

zoe to enlarge farmers deliveries. Stocks

have an easy time in advancing prices

supply increased 32,O00.000 bushels last

The high point on the corn crop. 69A
cents for May. was followed by a drop
to G5Bc or 3ssc. and by a reaction tc
6SAc. with the close at 6T!4c to 67asc, a
net loss of 1%c for the week. Prices
are nearly double last years. Hogs are
being marketed freely at all Western
points. and arrivals last week were 643,-
900, against $4,000 the previous week
and compared with 5G4. 900 last year. Re-
ceipts here were $4,000. The quality is
poor and has decreased steadily for a
month. The best prices of the season
for futures were made the past week,

There is a new kind of messenger

boy does not smoke cigarettes, or loiter,
or swear, or fight. The new messenger
boy is always neat and tidy, never inn
pudent or unruly. This is because the
new messenger boy is a girl. Reuters

lately tried the experiment of employ
ing girls as well as boys for messenger
work. The experiment has been more

are now in the employ of Reuters, and
more are being engaged all the time.
