EMBEzzLERs SENTENCED.
Pathetic Scene tn Superior Criminal
 Court of Boston.

Boston. Oct. 1.-Willard c. VandeFlip to-day in the superior criminal court pleaded guilty to an indictment in two counts chareing him with the ernbez- element of sixty-fve thousand dollars from the Lowell estate of which he was trustee. and was given a sentence of from seven to eight years imprison- ment in state prison by Judge Aiken. Vanderlip received his sentence calmly. but his wife and two daughters. who were in the court room. broke down and cried.
 As soon as the Vanderlip case had been disposed of Henry F. Coe, who had previously been convicted of the embeZzlement of ninety thousand dol lars from the Bowker Fertilizer com pany. of which he was treasurer, was called for sentence. The feeble old man stood grasping the railing as Judge Aiken imposed sentence of not more than five nor less than four years in state prison, the first day to be in solitary confinement.
 With bowed head and faltering steps the old man was led away to the pris- oners' room, where members of his fm- fly bade him a sad farewell.

COLER NOMINATED.
New York State Democratic Ticket
 Devery Turned Down.

New York State Democratic Ticket Devery Turned Down.
 Saratoga, N. T., Oct. IA conven-
 ton so strenuous in its closing hours
 as to bring almost personal conflict and yet closing in such perfect harmony as to allow the completion of the state
 ticket with less than hundred dele
 gates out of four hundred and fifty in the hall was the result of to-day's closing of the democratic state conven- tion. It began in the early morning with a prepared slate of candidates. The slate was not broken ill any par ticular, but the right of objection to it
 was given to all the delegates except when in the case of one New York del- egate it was believed to be an infringe
 ment of the rules under which the con- vention was acting.
 Naturally great deal of the interest in the convention centered in the atti-
 tude it would take toward the seating of William S. Devery, former head of the police department of New York, and who held regular certificate of election from the Ninth New York district. It | was not an unexpected event that the ! convention decided to unseat him. | When the convention decided to adopt
 the report of the committee on creden- tials by the overwhelming vote of 422 to 21, MT, Devery walked out of the l convention after being allowed to de- | clare himself good democrat mad pro- | ceeded to hold mass meeting on the steps of the United States hotel.
 The following is the ticket named:
 For governor, Bird S. Coler of Kings; 1 lieutenant governor. Charles N. Bulger
 of Oswego; secretary of state, Frank ! Mott of Chautauqua; comptroller 1 Charles M. Preston of Ulster; attorney l general, John Cunneen of Erie: state engineer and surveyor, Richard W. | Sherman of Oneida; state treasurer, | George R. Finch of Warren; associate | judge of the court of appeals, John c. l Gray of New York.

ter the thirteenth hole had been halved, she was up and to play. But Miss Anthony buckled to her work and cap tured the fourteenth, to 5. The fif- teenth was halved, and then Miss Porter deliverately threw away the sixteenth hole, after sha4 had two strokes to win it and the match, by stymieing herself and attempting to jump Miss Anthony's ball, This seem ed to take the life out of the Oakley players game and Miss Anthony took the next two and the odd one without difficulty, giving her the match, much to the disgust of an enthusiastic Oak ley gallery.
 The playing of Miss Anita Phipps was also a noteworthy feature, for al- though defeated by Miss Margaret Cur Springfield player, who is scarcely six teen years old, pushed the Essex County crack to the limit. Miss Phipps repeatedly outdrove her opponent, but lacked age and experience to steady at critical times.
 There were other matches which were decided on the last green, Miss F. Louise Vanderhoef, of the Ardsley county club. beat Miss J.. Anna Car penter of the Westward Ho club, Chi cago, up, and Mrs. William Shippen. of tre Morris County Country club, de- feated Mrs. J. T. Hubbard, of the Har- bor Hill golf club by the same score. The other contests were all well fought, Miss Genevieve Hecker of the Apawamis club, last years champion, having her hands full with Mrs. Ed ward Sanford, of the Essex County Country club finally up and 3 to play.
 With Mrs. Manice out of the running tre Apawamis crack is now the favorite for this event. %-s It was the original intention of the committee to have two rounds played to-day, but they wisely decided that I it would be too much of a risk to the health of thee contestants to require
 the extra round, so two rounds will be played tomorrow. ..
 The driving, approaching and putting
 contests scheduled for this afternoon were also put over until Friday, when
 there will be handicap as well.

BOSTON POOR TO BE CARED FOR.
A Fund Started Which is Quickly Con. frtbutcd To.

Boston, Oct. 1.-Practical steps to avert distress in this city on account of the scarcity of coal and the prospect that the situation may not speedily change, were taken at a conference of citizens called by Mayor Collins, and held at noon to-day.
 Mayor Collins presided and stated the object of the meeting and after thor ough, discussion it was voted that the mayor appoint a committee of ten citi- Zens to receive subscriptions of fuel and money up to S100000 for present needs and that second committee, consisting of five members of the legal profession
 be named to investigate fully the legal aspect of the situation and to voice the protest of the commonwealth of Massa
 chusetts to the president of the United States and to the governor of the state of Pennsylvania against the conditions which now prevail.
 During the discussion General Will
 liam A. Bancroft. general manager of
 the Boston Elevated road, offered to give 10000 tons of coal to the poor of Boston.

AN EYE-OPENER.
Didn't Believe it Possible that Coffee
 Was at Work,

People often attribute their i'll health to some indiscretion in eating, and change diet in the hope of recovering their wonted good health; finding no change for the better in their condition, they are at a loss for the cause, never for moment thinking that the cup of coffee which they take in the morning Is the true source from whence all their ills have come.
 A lady in Philadelphia had her atten- tion called to the pernicious working of coffee on the system by reading a little book on 'How to Live" She says,- ''It was truly an eye-opener to me. All the many symptoms of the nervous stage under which had been laboring so long, were here directly traceable to coffee drinking. Especially was it shown to be responsible for the com- plete breakdown of my nervous sys- tenn, which I had ascrbed to many dif- ferent causes, and which had become so great that my hands shook like that of toper whenever carried things to my mouth or reached out to grasp any, thing. I found myself subject to fre-
  a feeling of emptiness with constant sour erucations.
 Now like every slave to an inordinate appetite, I was loath to believe that my favorite morning and midday beverage was the true cause of all this nervous wretchedness.
 Having noticed the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee. determined to test it, and purchased a package and had some prepared carefully as direct ed. I enjoyed my first cup immensely, and Postum has been my favorite drink ever since and that is year and a half ago. l had barely used it a week when ] realized general 'tone-up' of my system. First, my appetite improved; next, had no feeling of depression for days together, and a sensation of com fort especially of my stomach, was not iceable. After month, I was aware that my hands no longer trembled, my nerves were improved, and this irn- provement continued until I entirely re- covered my health.
 Whenever learn of a case of nervous prostration, dyspepsia, or stomach trouble among friends and others, I at once urge the abandonment of coffee as q beverage and the use of Postum in it's stead, and I have yet to learn of a single case in which it failed of it's effects" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Crack, Mich.

 cussed during the past few days. to- gether with the legal situation and the power of the federal administration in the premises and the conclusion was reached that the president could do more by bringing the interested parties together than in any other way.
 There will be no enc present at Fri days meeting at the temporary White House but the principals. It is true that Friday is cabinet day, and that eleven o'clock. the hour appointed in the invitation for the meeting of the coal magnates, is the usual hour of as- sembling of the cabinet, but according to the present understanding, the cabi- net meeting will be postponed. The purpose of the pOstponement is plainly 1 to relieve the invited guests from the feeling of reserve that might naturally be created if they appeared before the entire cabinet, including some exceed ingly clever lawyers, whom the coal people might not care to meet in bus l mess way in the absence of their own legal advisers. So the absence of the cabinet will give the president an op- portunity to do just what he wants, namely, to have a good, heart to heart 1 talk with the operators and MT. Mitch 1 ell, to induce them to talk to each Oth- CT freely and to reason quietly and so- berly and finally to agree if possible to make concessions on each side which will terminate the strike. And at least, 1 if this last object cannot be directly at- 1 tained, it Is hoped that the foundations may be laid for an agreement in the near future, perhaps an agreement
 between the principals to have further
 meetings and perhaps to refer open is- sues between them to third parties.
 It is stated positively that the presi-
 dent has no assurances from either side which formed the basis of his call for this meeting. But, when Secretary Root was in New York yesterday and the night preceding, he saw one at least of the coal presidents whose name ap- pears in to-day's list of invitations. It was stated that the meeting was a cas- ual one, but no statement could be ex- tracted touching the personality of the other great forces that are operating in this strike who might have been seen by the war secretary in his peace mis- sion Other great financial forces than
 Mir Morgan competent to exert tre- mendously powerful but secret pres sure upon corporations exist in New York and it is surmised that with some of these the secretary, not unac-
 quainted in business way in that cir cfe, may have had interviews during his visit.

HEWITT REPLIES TO MITCHELL
Denies That He is a Champion of the Operators

DeUteS AhHt HtS tB hampton O1 she Operators.
 New York, Oct. 1-Abram s. Hewitt has written an open letter to President
 Mitchell of the Mine Workers, in which he discusses the coal strike situation generally and replies to that portion of MT. Mitchell's recent statement con-
 corning him personally. MT. Hewitt de- nies the assertion that he is a cham pon of the operators and an opponent of the Mine Workers. He asserts that his intention was to demonstrate that MT. MitchelPs policy in the strike was contrary to the spirit of American in- stitutions and that the operators could
 not treat with the Mine Workes without violating their obligations as trustees of
 the owners of the coal property. MT.
 Hewitt says that whatever issues may
 have originally been involved in the strike he is now satisfied "that the time has passed when the public will pay any attention to any statements from you or MT. Baer or from me. They l want coal and no discussion and re- crimination
 | In conclusion MT. Hewitt says: ''If when this strike shall be over, the | United Mine Workers could be induced | to declare that they will never inaugur- ate another strike, or engage in boy
 colt, but will devote their energies and
 resources to the maintenance of indus trial peace; and if the owners of the 1 coal mines would undertake to devote ! fixed royalty to the improvement of the
 social conditions under which the mines are operated, as I have advocated for 1 the last 25 years, some compensation
 will accrue to the public for the vast i losses in wages, in profits, in the inter-
 ruption to business caused by contest, which ought never to have existed and
 from which no one has profited but the
 owners and miners of soft coal'
