He NEVER RETURNED.

From a news item in the Pitts
burg Dispatch we learn that Seth
Emerson, son Of Mitchell Emerson
OF Newburg, left home about
twelve years ago, locating in Chi
cago. From that day to this his
parents have never heard a word
from him, except at the time of his
arrival in that city. His room
mate reported that few days after
they were together, Emerson walked
out and he could discover no trace
of him Whatever through the police
department. His parents, who are
well to do, have spent a good
amount of money to find him, and
are now, in their old age, making a
last and desperate effort to locate
him, dead or alive. They are hav-
ing the help of citizens of both
counties TO settle the question Of
their sons disappearance. They
have engaged several secret service
men to help them out of their trou-
bic and relieve the tension which
they have had 20 bear for so many
years.

ga Morgantown gentleman at

for the night, the gentleman says
that he always stuffed paper in the

for fear the air that passed through

and scatter the contents above the
floor. He is of the opinion that
the burglars used a bicycle pump
TO force the door off the hinges.
Editor J. Slidell Brown, of the

sold it, as he early realized that a

hole in the ground in which to bury
cabbage and other garden sass than
for ornamental Office furniture.

FOUR MAGAZINES FOR THE PRICE
OF ONE

Last season the magazine sue
CESS of New York City conducted
remarkable subscription campaign
by means of series Of unusual
clubbing offers, and this year
more attractive list and even lower
prices are announced. Those who
formerly have taken but a single
periodical at cost ranging from
$3.50 to $500 can now secure from
two to four for the same price alone.
The wide popularity of the Sue
CESS clubbing offers may be esti-
mated from the fact that nearly
500, 900 people took advantage of
them during the subscription season
beginning last autumn, and those
who wish to make the most of their
magazine money, will surely avail
themselves of the present exception
al opportunity. The offers would
not be possible save for the CO.
operation of several periodicals in
one advertisement, thus effecting a
material saving to all concerned
especially to magazine readers. The
list from which selections may be
made includes, SUCCESS, The
Review of Reviews, The Cosmopol-
itan, Frank Leslie's Popular Month.
ly, Current Literature, The North
American Review, The New Eng
land Magazine, Leslie's Weekly,
The Household, Good Housekeep-
ing and The Designer. Details re-
garding the periodicals and low
club prices may be cleaned from an
announcement on page four of this

While the Republicans are trying
to make the best of the appoint
ment of William Dudley Foulke to
the Civil Service Commissionership,
they are by no means pleased with
the appointment. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Foulke exacted from the
President, before accepting the
appointment, promise that he
should have full sway under the law
IN the administration of the affairs
of the commission and that means
that good many of the perogatives
of Republican Congressman will be
cut off. The Commission has, in
the past, been obliged to wink at
many things in order to secure as
much freedom as they had, but in
the future, with Mr.. Foulke as
President of the Commission, for il
is stated that Mr.. Proctor will resign
the presidency in Mr.. Foulke's
favor, the Commission promises TO
stand seriously in the way Of many
of the petty little patronage schemes

When President Roosevelt left
Washington on last Monday after
noon for New Haven, he left be-

of New York, who was nursing his
wrath in his apartments at the
Arlington Hotel. When the Sena-

ago, he discussed New York politics
with the President and, while Mr..
Roosevelt did not actually commit
himself, he went home with the i'm
preston that he was to have things
pretty much his own way. His
most important request had been
for the removal Of Appraiser Wake.

from the dictator's belt. Mr..
Roosevelt had automatically prom

The Marquis Ito. who was for a
number of years Prime Minister of
Japan, lunched with the President
on Monday. Mr.. Roosevelt urged
him to return to Washington after
receiving his degree at New Haven,
as he wished to give dinner in his
honor. but the Marquis declined
the invitation, alleging the condi-
ton of his health aud the political
situation in Japan as his excuse.
The Marquis told the Presiden,
that the commerce of his country
now amounted TO more than szso,.

$40 steamers with an aggregate ton

she had butt up all this within the

when, next TO the United States,

Postmaster Coyne Of Chicago,
was in Washington this week urging
the Department to give him more
space as he says he is sorely
cramped in the present temporary
postoffice and that it will be from
three to four years before the new
government building is ready for
occupancy. Mr.. Coyne also pre-
dicted that by that time the new
postofiice would be too small for the
requirements of his force, a state
ment which rather startled the
authorities until they remembered
that Mr.. Coyne was from Chicago
and that, as one of them expressed
1t, CHS statements must be taken

robbery of stamps amounting to
over $4,000 from the Chicago
postofflce and various stamp rob-
beries of smaller amounts all over
the country are likely to lead the
Postmaster General to ask the com
ing Congress TO enact law pro
hibiting the sale of stamps by any
one other than a Government agent.
Such a law, 1t is believed, would, to
a large extent, remove the incentive
