EVERY. LETTER DOES NOT
BRING JOY.

~ 1 stood watching the mail man
Trudging along his way
With his sack just full of
Letters, papers and magazines,
II filed my heart with wonder
And my thoughts began to range
AsI watched him 60 on his journey
From where l stood under the trees.
He stops tirst TO leave letter
And then : magazine,
Looks anxiously at his mail bag
And then moves on again.
At ono house he takes out latter
With flowers al nicely engraved.
Steps to the door and gives wrap
Tor he knows he IL be well received.
At the next house he leaves a package
That has come from over the sea,
He does not look in askance
or ven, try. 70 think what it might
be.
His sack now begins to get lighter
And happy man is he.
Although he loves his duty
He loves also to be free.
And now he takes out letter
Trimmed allsround in black,
He heayes sigh as he nears the en-
4rance,
His steps begin to slack
And then think Of story
heard ~hen only boy.
But before had never noticed
That All letters does not bring joy.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is
the order of woman's preferences.
Jewels form magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that
greatest of all Jewels, health, is often

or save the money to purchase them
If woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify her
self against the insiduous consequences
of coughs, colds and bronchial affections
by the regular use of DIR. Boschee's
German Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the system.
1t is not a cure-all, but it is certain

DEFECTS OF ATTACK AND
DEFENCE.

New York, Sept. S--Back from the
bloodIess war with the army, the United
States battleships Alabama, Massachu-
sets and Kearsarge, and cruiser Brook
lyn passed in Sandy Hook this morning.
The battleship Indiana and cruiser
Montgomery reached port yesterday ard
dropped anchor off Thompkinsyille. In
spite of the emphatic claims made by
either side the combined maneuyres OF
tbe mas. week have demonstrated very
clearly the wisdom of the statement in
the instructions which said the question
whether the army or the navy won the
game was matter of secondary import
ance. Each has discovered defects In
the other. and this will lead 70 improve
ment in both branches of the service.
From the standpoint of the navy, seve-
raj valuable lessons have been taught
the army, one of them is that fortifica-
lions with dead side to them are nearly
useless. Both at Plum Island and at
Newport, the feet found this dead line
and sent in storm of shell and shrap-
mel which. if real, would have killed
every gun crew and wrecked the guns.
1t is unfortunate that the land batter
les were not assisted by coast defense
vessels which could have lurked in the
shadows and by a system Of scouting
picked up the feet ten miles from the
point of intended attack. Another use
| for such auxiliary vessels was shown dur.
ing the attack on Fishers Island. Had
four monitors of the strength of the
Puritan been stationed at the Race nc
feet in the world could have forced an
entrance or run by without destruction.
Since the Puritan draws but Is feet OF
water, against the rs or more for the
battleships, four monitors could have
taken position in shoal waters where thu
fear of ramming would be eliminated
Then with their batteries, which are
near as formidable as those of the battle
ships. and assisted by the mortar batter
les on shore, or the twelve inch disap
pearing rifles, they could have made
short work of any fleet. As it happen
ed in the attack the feet came within
200 yards of the shore before discovery
and they were then safe from the NOR
tars while the formation Of the land pro
tected them from the disappearing guns
Despite the assertions of the army
the fleet has demonstrated the in
adequacy of the existing forts. 1t is no
enough, say naval officers, to be reason
ably sure on this matter; the safety o
New York must be absolutely sure
Conditions like those under which tn!
feet attacked the eastern entrance nigh
very well occur in time of war, and nc
one who witnessed the attack on thu
forts or the fleets attempt to run b,
them can be convinced that success wa
not very possible, if not for an entir'
fleet, at least for one or two battleships,
force sufficient TO doincalculable damage
to shipping and even the city itself.

THE PRESIDENT IN CHATTA-
NOOGA.

Chattanooga Tenn. Sept. S.-After a
rest last night at the Reed House here,
President Roosevelt was in splendid
trim, and arose early to begin the work of
the day. At 9;20 the committee of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen

sion of the order. Carriages were in
readiness. He was re ,eived with great
enthusiasm, aud on motion of demo-
cratic member the degree of grand
honorary member was conferred upon

session was then adjourned and the

THE COAL strike.

Tamaqua, Pa. Sept. ga prominent
business man closely associated with the
officers of the Lehigh Valley Coal and
Navigation Company, stated this morning
that President John Mitchell is prepar-
ing a proclamation that will result in a
settlement of the strike and that con-
ference of the individual operators in
Philadelphia, is due to that fact
1t was stated today that gains were
made by operators at Summit Hill this
morning and that between 35 and 40
men reported for work. Trouble was
anticipated and Major Gearheart sent
troops through the region, but there was
no disturbance. A train load of
coal from the st Nicholas colliery reached
this place early this morning. The fuel,
it was said, was newly mined. 1t is
claimed by the operators that over a
dozen men are cutting coal and that
altogether l75 men are at work.

MApPIEn AND DIED.

New York, Sept. S.-Death ended
the n,mance in the lives of Bradford
McGregor. son of Ambrose NJ. McGregoIr,
the Standard Oil magnate, and his bride
of thirty six hours, when the young man
died shortly after nine o clock last nignN
at his county home at Mamaroneck.
The bride widow, formerly Miss Clara
Schlemmer, whom McGregor married IN
order that she might be with him during
an operation by which it was hoped 10
save his life, was at his bedside, when
he died. McGregor had been suffering
for some time from a mysterious illness
that had baffled the skill of physicians.
The doctors decided that a surgical
operation was necessary. McGregor felt
that death would result. His hope had
been to marry Miss Schlemmer, the
beautiful brown haired daughter of a
piano dealer in this city. In his extrem-
ity she called upon him. He felt thi I
she could help him bear the ordeal il
she could be near him. He asked hti
to marry him and she consented. The
wedding occurred on Saturday. The
bride followed her husband to the operat
ing room. His physicians placed HIN
under the x-rays and was dumbfoundec
when they discovered a heart shaped stone
in one of his kidneys. The stone which
was removed, weighted 500 grains. Al
first it was believed that McGregor would
recover but last night he failed suddenly
and died. In vain effort to prolons
his life, his life long friend, A. c. Bost.
wick, the famous automobiles, made q
record breaking trip from 0rienta Point
to Mamaroneck to summon a doctor.
He made the distance, 3 miles, at a rate
of Ga miles an hour. When he returned
with DIR. Hall, at the same rate of speed,
McGregor was dead. Today the bride
is Frustrated with grief. Before the
operation was performed Mr.. McGregol
made will by which his widow, it il
said, will inherit over 81 900, 900.

THE GERMAN ARMY MAN
OEUVRES.

Posen, Prussia, Sept. S.-The pre-
liminaries to the autumn army man
oeuvres begin today. Before the middle
of the week, 80, 900 men on each side
will be arrayed against each other.
The Fifth army corps which is stationed
at Posen, represents the Russian army,
which is invading Prussian Poland with
the intention of marching toward
Berlin. The Third army corps at
Frankfort-o n-0der, ninety miles away,
will oppose the Russians. The advance
maneouvres will take place between
these towns over an area of 10 miles.
The Kaiser will act as umpire during
the first part of the manoeuyres, and
then unexpectedly assume command of
one of the divisions. This intention of
the Kaiser's in taking the command is
without previous notice. Three years
ago he did the same thing, the opposing
force not knowing who was command
ing. In that case the enemy captured
the entire division with the Kaiser at its
head This act of the 'enemy's" COM
mander placed him under the Kaiser's
displeasure. When the Kaiser takes
command this year the opposing army,
it is said, will endeayOr to so regulate
their movements as to permit his
majesty to effect great capture, and
thus make up for the disastrous coup of
1899

EARLY SETTLEMENT ASSURED.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sep. S.-While
here Saturday President Roosevelt dis
cussed the strike situation in the an
thracite coal fields in Pennsylvania
with Senator Scott, who had just re-
turned home from a conference with
Senator Hanna at Cleveland on the same
subject. Senator Scott stated last night
that President Roosevelt assured him
the strike would be settled the first days
of this week and that the crisis will have
passed by Wednesday, when tits expect
ed the strikers will again take up their
tools. Senator Scott said President
Roosevelt did not intimate how the
strike would be settled, but it is believed
among those who are in touch with the
coal strike in Pennsylvania, that Roose-
velt's advice in the matter has been
sought.
