NO EVIDENCE OR
 CURRENCY FAMINE
SECRETARY SHAW MAKES AR ATTACHMENTS TO RELEASE ABOUT s4,ooo,ooo OF TREASURY HoLDlNGS-REcElPTS LARGE.

Washington, September 1S. = Secretary Shaw today issued the following state- ment:
 Secretary Shaw has made arrange ments to release about s4,000,00O of the treasury holdings. He has had a list prepared of those national banks throughout the country holding free or pledged bonds at the date of their last report and has made inquiry for others.
 After making allowance for changed conditions since last report he expects this will release at least $4,O0O.000. He has sent notices to all such that if they will send these bonds to the treasury of the United States in sums of $5O,0O0 or more they will be designated as temporary de- positories and the face value of the bonds will be deposited with them to the credit of the treasurer of the United States.
 He had pursued this course in prefer ence to designating Repositories in the ordinary way, which compels them to buy bonds in the market at a large premium, thus paying out more for the bonds than any they get from the gov ernment. The custom receipts are ex- tremely heavy at this particular season of the year. and the cash balance of the treasury has been gradually increas- ing
 He has also decided to anticipate the October interest. amounting to about $4.2000O0. and with this In view orders have been issued to the various sub treasuries to cash such coupons as may be presented them for payment and the treasurer of the United States has been instructed to mail checks for in terest on the registered bonds.

was decided upon some days ago and letters and telegrams prepared for today.
 The secretary sees in present condi- tions no occasion for alarm He calls attention to the fact that there Is no evidence of currency famine present or prospective elsewhere than in New York, and even there the rate is not high for commercial paper, and for commer- cial paper he has the greatest solicitude.
 He is well satisfied with his efforts to increase circulation which he de- cided upon in the early summer when present conditions were plainly preparing to meet an emergency which he does not expect but which he thinks It is wise to provide against. Thus far he had made requests only to such banks as hold large deposits and have very limited circulation and he Is not asking these to increase to the maximum, nor to increase at all for the present. He does not desire to force the banks into the market to buy bonds at a rate higher than the government is willing to pay"

A SIMPLE CHANGE. Made a World of Difference.

The health resort does not always bring back health but the health resort and pr oper food make a pretty sure combi- nation.
 Mrs. E. Kennett, Springfield, Mo, wrtes:-"I was pronounced a consump- tive and sent to Ashville, N. C., for my health. I just could not eat without a cup of coffee. and my stomach was in such condition that I could not drink it. I was almost in despair when the landlady of my boarding house said that if I would drink Postum Food Coffee, would find it would take the place of coffee and agree with me. She made it so delicious that I enjoyed every meal I ate, and gained in flesh and strength so rapidly that I was able to come back home and live.
 I give Postum more credit for my re- turn to health than climate or anything else. am sending you this letter for the benefit of those who are having a hard time living. and I am sure that if they will use Postum, their lives will be prolonged

NEELY WANTS THE $eooo.
Brings Suit in New York to Get Back
 the Money.

Washington, September 13.-Informa- tion has been received at the war depart ment that c. F. ". Nicely has instituted proceedings in New York to recover the S60O0 which was found upon him at the time of his arrest in Cuba. This money was in the possession of the postoffice department but when Nicely was tried it was turned over to the war department as one of the exhibits in the case. It was sent to Cuba and returned to the United States and now Is at the war depart- men.
 It is understood that the Cuban gov ernment has given an intimation that the money should be turned over to its treas. ury but the pardon of Nicely raises the interesting question whether that govern mnt has not forfeited all claim against Nicely or the money found in his DOS session.

Saved From Death in Cattle stam-

/ Few young women's lives have
recorded more widely differing ex-
perlences than Betty Letters, al
though twenty years have elapsed
from the day she first looked upon
the world out of u satin lined
crib in a luxurious home in
Brooklyn until one day last
month when she was saved from
horrible death.
Miss Letter became school
teacher in Wyoming when her
father took up home in Sheridan,
although much against her par
ents will. Her home was three
miles from. the school on the
prairie.
One afternoon in October she
remained later than usual at the
school house: then on her way
home stopped by a pile of huge
powders to examine some curious
inscriptions cut into the surface.
a low rumbling sound startled
her. She sprang to her feet. A
Iargs herd of cattle was coming
toward her, their noses to the
ground, their horns clanking to-
gether and envelcped in cloud
of dust. At the same moment
her pony became frightened,
tossed his head in the air and
dashed away across the plains.
She uttered a scream and sank
down. Yells arose from the cow
boys. They rode madly into the
herd, trying to check the onward
rush of the leaders by firing re-
volvers in their faces. Betty
crouched for a moment on the
rock pile directly in the path of
the stampede, then compelled to
make an effort to save herself
she rose and started off across the
country ahead of the herd.
The cattle came laundering
after her, faster, faster she sped,
her bright skirts flying back in
the wind. Louder, nearer, came
the frightened herd. The earth
vibrated beneath her. She
heard the angry roNrings. almost
felt their hot breath, and weak
from exhaustion, blinded by the
dust, she fell.
At that moment from out the
clouds of dust dashed snorting
broncho, maddened by the CASH
ing spurs of his rider. A few
leaps, and he had reached the
PROSTATE form, and bending
down from his saddle, his strong
arm lifted her from the ground,
hardly checking his speed, and
the sturdy pony swung forward
under the double weight. She
was saved

Washington, July 1e.-Additional
Instructions were sent to Gov. Taft
at Rome upon the return Of Secretary
Root from Oyster Bay, where he
went Saturday to consult with Pres
ident Roosevelt concerning the nego-
tiations with the vatican with
respect to the questions involved in
the proposal made BY the United
States that the friars be withdrawn
from the Philippines.
Notwithstanding the reports from
Rome, said by the officials here to
emanate from church sources, to the
effect that the negotiations include
the question OF church teaching in
the public schools, it is positively said
on the best authority that this ques-
tion does not form part of the ne
gotiations. On at least two occasions
the vatican has sought to inject this
subject into the negotiations. but
1t has been automatically avoided by
Gov. Taft in his replies, and he is to
be told by Secretary Root to make
it clear to the council Of cardinals
that under the laws Of the United
otN' tHNAc tdH DC no recognition OF
church teachings in the public
schools.
In view Of this declaration. it is not
thought likely that the United States
will agree 70 the proposition made to
Gov Taft that TIC primary schools Of
the Philippines be conducted by
church teachers. It is now determined
to insist upon the withdrawal Of the
Spanish friars as condition prece-
dent to the final purchase Of the
church lands in the islands.
It is thought here that the church
will recognize the uselessness Of re-
sisting the American terms, as in the
event Of a breaking off Of the neeotia-
tions the Philippine government will
take possession Of the church prop
erty by condemnation proceedings. /
