THE anniversary Of the day on which
John Marshall Of Virginia Yves installed
as Chief Justice of the United States
was celebrated today in many OF the
larger cities of the country. There are
now Washington days, Jefferson days,
Marshall days and Lee days, and all to
commemorate Virginiaps who have re-
f,eoted their own we'll merited honor
upon not only their State, but upon the
whole country. Up to and until short
time after the close of the war between
the States, Virginia was fruitful OF good
aud great men, but times have changed
in the old State and, unfortunately for
her, the people Of the once proud Com
monwealth have changed with them.

1--WE might take vote on the subsidy

morning as the Senate was waiting to
Droceed to the House to take part 10
the commemorative exercises on Chief
Justice Marshall. The Joke was re-
ceiyed with a smile for everybody has
apparently reached the conclusion that
no vote on this measure will be possible
at this session. 1t is understood that II
the prospects for concluding the debate
on this bill are as dark on Wednesday
as thew are now, the republicans will
withdraw the subsidy bill and proceed
with the appropriation bills and the
war revenue bill. The democratic
senators are as earnest ss ever 10 their
determination to debate the subsidy to
its death and 1t is fully expected that
this week will see 1t finally disposed oil
until next winter.
Secretary OF War Root today sent to
the Senate a batch of official correspond.

1T WAS stated in the Massachusetts,
legislature last week that that body had
been bought by the Standard Oil Com
pany at the price Of two million dol
lars; and, strange as it may seem to
some people, that statement was not
denied, nor was the member who made
it called upon to verify 1t. Legislators,
even in Massachusetts, where the cleo
tors must possess educational qualltca'
tons, have become very corrupt, and
could not we'll be otherwise, where
every man having the qualification re-
ferred, to has the right to vote, and, as
he thinks, to sell his vote.

McH1TGHs RESIGNATION.

It was unofficially stated yesterday that John McHugh, deputy collector of taxes had been asked to resign. His resignation went into effect yesterday. The cause of this peremptory action by Collector Anthony was, it is said, that McHugh received $43.24 from James H. Mulligan and the amount was never re- corded.
 As the story goes, Mulligan arranged to dispose of his property some weeks ago, and search of title was made by the proposed purchaser. A tax lien of the above amount was found and Me- Hugh was called upon to explain why he had given Mulligan receipt for the money and never caused record to be made. Collector Anthony investigated and after a conference with several other officials decided to ask MT. Me- Hugh to resign. The accused man is under $10,0OO bonds, and suit may be entered to collect the amount.
 There is also another side to the story in that it is claimed by friends of MT. McHugh that there is $500 back salary due and also that his side will be made public in due time.

'In minister's family in Los Angeles where I was visiting sometime ago the wife complained, of serious indigestion and dyspepsia She admitted that she used coffee and said she more than half believed that was the trouble l told her that I knew 1t was the trouble. for had gone through with the experience myself and had only been cured when left off coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee
 She said she had tried the Postum, hoth for herself and her husband, but they did not like it. With her permis- sion I made sPostum next morning my self, and boiled it full fifteen minutes after the real boiling of the pot began Then when it was served it was rich, deep brown color and had the true fla vor and food value that every Postum- maker knows. It is all folly to talk about trying to make Postum with one or two minutes sleeping.
 You can't get something good for nothing. It must be boiled, boiled, boil ed and to keep 1t from boiling over, use a small lump of batter, perhaps twice the size of a pea. That morning

 Now after a hard days work they are con,forted, refreshed and rested by CID of well made Postum for supper They are both enthusiastic in it's praise The wife has entirely recovered rom her dyspepsia. I will not go into the details of my own case, except to say that I was a desperate sufferer with dyspepsia and discovered by leaving off coffee that coffee was the cause Of 1t.
