pOintmeRts, Says Secretary shaw.
Washington, March 22.-At the
White House, the Treasury Depart
ment and the Post Office Department
there is no disposition to act hastily
upon the Georgia Federal appoint
ments now pending. At the Post Of
flee Department, under the system
which prevails there, the officials will
not admit that Postmaster Doyle has
any competitors for the Savannah post
mastership, in spite of the fact that
it is generally known that Henry Blum
and r. Cuyler Gordon are open and
avowed aspirants for the Office and
have for some time past been pulling
every political, social and religious
wire in sight to help them in their
struggle to capture Postmaster Doyle's
official scalp. Those who are familiar
with the situation at the Postoffice De-
partment and also at the White House
are aware that the President proposes
to appoint a Republican postmaster at
Savannah. Representative Lester says
he took pleasure in giving Mr.. Gordon
an official Endorsement for the place,
but he frankly admits that he does
not believe the prospects are bright
for the selection of a Democrat. 1t is
believed that the race is between Doyle
and Blum.
When Secretary Shaw was to-day
asked the reason for the delay in
sending in the nominations of the col
lectors of customs at Savannah and
Brunswick, he said:
There is no hurry about making
those appointments. Those offices arc
being administered in a satisfactory
manner and the President is occupied
by matters of greater Importance than
the selection of a few Federal officials"
Secretary Shaw said he was not ia
niliar with the circumstances sur
rounding the Savannah and Brunswick
cases, but he supposed the President
would confer with him on the subject
when the time for sending in the NOM
nations arrived.

GranddaUg1&ero of the Famous Com
mOdOre Christcns the New TOrpe-
do Boat Destroyer.
Philadelphia. March 22.-The Barry.
the third OF the series of torpedo boat
destroyers which have been built for
the United States government by Nea-
fe and Levy, was launched at noon
to-day. Miss Charlotte Barnes, a de-
scendant OF Commodore Barry, after
whom the craft is named, christened
the boat.
Shortly after II o'clock, ell the de-
partments in the yard shut down and
the public was admitted. With flags
flying from stem to stern, the Barry
stood upon the way. looking rather
diminutive by the side of the cruiser
Denver, which is also about ready to
launch Around the brightly painted
PROV a stand had been erected. Amer
lean flags draped its four sides, while
streamers waved everywhere in the
March breeze.
To the right of the Barry stood a
company of Irish volunteers, with guns
ready to fire when the destroyer was
launched.
A few minutes before the noon
hour, just as the band began to play,
the christening party arrived at the
dinger, the president of the company,
was Miss Charlotte Adams Barns of
New York city, the sponsor of the
Barry Miss Barns carried a ribbon
bedecked bottle of champagne. In
cluded in the party were Naval Con-
structor Hanscom, Commander Ogden
and a number OF other officers in the
navy, besides many prominent city Of
ficials and business and professional
men and large delegations from New
York and Washington.
SaIutcd ny Irish Volunteers.
When the driving home" of the
wedges began, President Seddinger no.
titled Miss Barns to be ready, as the
interesting moment had almost ar
rived. Down by the foot of the ways
the Irish Volunteers were ready to
fire their volley when the vessel went
into the water. Suddenly the Barry
trembled as if from stem to stern, and
then began to move. She's off," some
one shouted, and the same instant Miss
Barns swung the ribbon bedecked bot
tie of champagne and shattered it on
the Prov of the grim destroyer. IT
christen thee Barry" she said at the
same time, and the cheers of the
thousands of spectators came as a fit
ting finale. AS the craft sped down
the ways the band played Star
Spangled Banner" and the Volunteers
fired volley that could be heard
across the river on the New Jersey
shore. Completed from end to end and
ready to go to sea on a moments no
tice, the Barry was launched.
Miss Barns, the Barrys sponsor, is,
on her maternal side, a great-great-
grandniece of Commodore John Barry,
and his great-great-g granddaughter by
the adoption of her great-grandfather
Patrick Hayes, the adopted son of the
famous commodore, who had no chill
dren of his own.
The Barry, which is the last of the
three swift torpedo boat destroyers
built by Neaf1e & Levy for the govern
ment, is 245 feet long by % feet beam,
with powerful triple expansion en-
gines. Thornycroft boilers will furnish
the steam to drive her through the wa
ter at speed of 80 knots. Like her
sister ships, the cambridge and the
Chauncey, she is built more for speed
than strength.

TROUBLE IN PAPER MILLS.
Employers and LabOrers Disagree
as to New Working Rule.

as to New Working Rule.
New York, March 2.-Representa-
tives of manufacturers of newspaper
and labor unions interested in the pa
per trade had a conference to-day. 1t
was called by Secretary Easley of the
National Civic Federation to avert, if
possible, a threatened strike of
the men employed in the paper
mills. The men said they would go
out in the near future unless
the different companies made conces-
sions in their favor. Up to six months
ago the men worked twelve hours a
day and six days a week This did
not suit the employers and it was de-
cided that a schedule of eight hours
day would be put in force with seven
days instead of six. The labor unions
would not indorse the schedule, as it
is one of their rules that no work be
done Sundays. The employers wished
to keep the new rule on account of
the necessity of using the pulp before
it becomes dry.
1t was decided that the men con-
tinue TO work as per the schedule now
in force until after the next meeting,
which will take place during the first
week in May, at which it is expected
that the matter will be finally decided
and a uniform scredule put in force.

LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE
MINERS OF THE TWO VIRGINIAs
TO BE CALLED OUT.
WILL INVOLVE $4,000 MEN.
A LAST DEMAND TO BE MADE ON
OPERATORS.

The Persistent Refusal of the Mine
Owners and Operators to Meet the
Miners Representatives In Con-
ference or 10 Recognize the Union
in AIss. Way seems to BE the CHER
TROUBLED Formal Demand to BE
Made and If This Is Refused a
Strike VIII BE Ordered.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 22.-Secre-
tary and Treasurer W. B. Wilson of
the United Mine Workers of America,
returned to national headquarters here
to-day from the East, where he at
tended two conventions of miners. Will
son discussed the situation in the coal
fields of Virginia and West Virginia
and gave out the statement that in all
probability a strike involving $4,000
miners will be called in those states
within short time. A final effort will
be made at once by the officials or
the national organization to secure
conference with the mine owners and
operators, looking to the adoption of
uniform wage scale and the recogni-
ton of the union, and in the event the
request for a conference is refused,
as it is expected it will be, the men
will probably be called out without
further delay.
Mr.. Wilson said a formal demand
will be made on the operators for a
conference, and if refused strike will
be called.
"Have you determined on a time for
calling the men out ?" Mr.. Wilson
was asked.
THAT, l cannot answer he replied
"Of course we have decided definitely
on the steps to be taken, but the time
of calling the strike will not be Civ
en- out until the strike shall be actu
ally called. For obvious reasons this
must be done, that the oper
ators make take no advantage
of the situation in knowing when the
blow will fall. If we go into this
strike we expect to win. We have
been expecting it to come for years.
We are well prepared for a struggle,
and will take no chances"
Mr.. Wilson fully expects a strike,
and it is understood that preparations
are now ON in consequence Of this
view. Mr.. Wilson said:
II do not expect the operators will
accept our demand for "a conference.
They have so persistently refused our
demands in the past that it seems
that nothing but a strike will settle
the matter. 1t is my opinion that the
strike will come

Catarrh is an old cold. Even the
strongest, most athletic men are LA
BILE to colds during the winter months
A cold, if neglected, is almost certain
to cause catarrh of the head, which
rapidly spreads through the system,
setting up catarrh of the throat,
lungs, stomach or pelvic organs What
a host of winter ailments would be
prevented by a preventive as we'll as
a cure for colds.
Peruna is such a remedy If taken
at the first symptom of catching cold
it heals the catarrhal condition before
it becomes established and makes i'm
possible a spread of the disease. Should
the cold be neglected and result in ca
tarrh, Peruna will cure, but it will
take much longer and will result in
much unnecessary suffering.

isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,

valuable advice gratis.

Inc Unions VIII demand As Cents
Per Hour for Eight Hours Work.
New York, March 22.-There is a pos
sibility that bridge work on the great
structure known as the Eastern Dis
trict bridge and all other iron work on
buildings in the course of construction
in New York city will come to a sud
den stop on May 1, next. The Brook
Ign Eagle will say tomorrow:
"On or before that date the repre-
sentatives of the Housesmiths and
Bridgesmiths' Union will demand an
advance of wages from their present
scale to that of 40 cents an hour. Un-
less their demands are met with, they
are determined to stop work through
out the entire country. If they so de-
eide, work will not only be stopped on
the new custom building and structures
in the court of erection for
several large department stores in
Manhattan, but also on the other two
contemplated bridges. AS a matter of
fact work will be tied up in all direc-
tons where steel and iron workers are
concerned.

from at least thirty lodges, each in

tation of the story of Adam and
Eve.
Mcpherson, Kan, March 22.-Rev.
Granville Lowther, against whom
charges of heresy have been preferred
in the Methodist Episcopal conference
to meet at Arkansas City next week,
has practically been sustained by his
church in this city. A canvass of the
membership shows that four-f ifths of
the members are in favor of sustain
ing him. Rev. Mr.. Lowther in ex-
planning to-day his idea of the temp
tation of Eve, which teaching prompt
ed the filing of the charges against
him, said:
"On the temptation of Eve we MAIN
tain that the language used with ref
erence to the serpent that tempted
Eve. was figurative rather than liter
al; that the methods used were SER
pentine, subtle and deceptive in their
nature; that the serpent was a man
of the same race to which Adam and
Eve belonged.
The account of the temptation was
written by Moses at least $500 years
after the temptation. 1t would be per-
fectly natural that the spiritual idea
shouiu De loSt SlgnJ OF, ana the sign
stand for the thing signified. This
makes the temptation harmonic with
the temptations of men to-day, har-
monte with reason. and does no vio-
lence to the sacred record, while any
other theory we have read that re-
quires a miracle, is irrational and I'M
natural. We do not deny the power
of God to perform miracles, but when
the Scripture can be made more rea-
sonable without a miracle, we prefer
the rational Interpretation. !"

London, March 22.-The sensational
exit of John Dillon, the Irish Nation
alist, from the House of Commons,
Thursday, last, as a result of his call
ing Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial sec
Rotary, a damned liar" continues to
be the topic of the hour. The Irish
Nationalist papers back up Mr.. Dill
Ions declaration regarding Mr.. Cham
berlain's lack of veracity with cheer
full frankness. though the Dublin
Evening Telegraph says that Mr.. Dill
lon was guilty of a slight anticipation
regarding Mr.. Chamberlain's damna-
ton, which it says is only coming,
though already in sight, adding:
LAS to his being a liar, that goes
without saying"
The object of all this abuse has ere
ated another sensation, not, as usual,
by biting invective, but by his clothes.
The Tailor and Cutter. which paper
was accustomed to belaud the Colonial
Secretary as the very pink of fashion,
now says:
I'VE are sorry to note that Mr..
Chamberlain is developing quite a
stoop, and fear he is losing some of his
old-time smartness. 1t is true that his
monocle is still in it's old place, but we
miss the familiar orchid, and, as we
have examined his garments, we could
not but feel that conservatism was sad
" apparent, for there was much in
them that was not up to date"
In the meanwhile, Mr.. Dillon, exempt
from the critical eye of the Tailor and
Cutters editor, is the hero of the hour
in Dublin,
Lecky's Reply to Women SUffragists
one of the most amusing sequels of
Mr.. Dillon's forcible retort occurred in
the grand committee room of the
House of Commons, where a deputation
of women graduates was presenting
petition, asking to be given the power
to vote for the election of members OF
Parliament. Miss Beatrice Harraden,
the novelist, who was one of the dele
gates, supported the petition, claiming
that it was unfair that women should
have to pay the income tax and yet
not be allowed to vote at parliamentary
elections The members of Parliament
who were listening were called to take
part in the division on Mr.. billions sus-
pension.
William e. Leckey. the historian
and Unionist member of Parliament
for Dublin University. who was
among the members who heard the
statements of the supporters OF the
petition. returned and addressed the
graduates, saying he wondered If they
would like a seat in Parliament, i'll

Two of the roads met employees to-

The companies say the demands are
