SUICIDE CLUB, PERHAPS
Fourth Death by His own Hand in q

Louisville.

Louisville, Nov. II. = Mrs. Julia
Long. the mother of John McAtee, a
Kansas City Southern clerk who is
reported to have committed suicide in
Kansas City Sunday because of an
accusation of attempted robbery, re-
jects the story of theft as the motive.
She says John McAtee is an only son,
and could have had financial assistance
had he asked for ii.
a grewsome coincidence comes to
light in connection with the death of
McAtee. When he was Il young man
he was intimate with three other we'll
known young men-Irvin Gillis, Dud-
ley Reynolds and Will Coker. Each of
these men has since died by his own
hand ard NIcAtee is the last of the
quartette to take his life.

HOOpeston, Ills. No.. 11.-Jacob S.

haps the only mayor in the world who

REPUBLICANIsm IN THE SOUTH
"LilIy-White" Business Not Approved by
the Washington Leaders.

Washington. Nov. II. - Julian II.
Bingham, collector of internal revenue
for the district of Alabama. has been
removed from his office and Joseph o.
Thompson appointed TO succeed him.
The change was made as Il result of Il
political condition which recently arose
in Alabama. CoIored Republicans were
excluded from participation in the state
convention. aud Collector Bingham was
held responsible, at least in a meas
ure. for their exclusion. Postmaster
General Payne visited the White
House yesterday, and rs he left the
executive offices he made public the
following statement defining the rea-
sons for the change:
'The change in the Office of collector
of internal revenue for the district of
Alabama in nOwise reflects upon the
integrity or ability of Mr.. Bingham.
1t is one of those things which oc-
casionally happen in politics. The pO-
sition taken by the Republicans of Ala
bama at their recent state convention,
as understood by the Republicans of
the north. is looked upon as Il per-
version of the fundamental principles
of the Republican party. and Mr.. Bing-
ham is in Il measure held responsible
for that action; hence the change.
Neither the administration nor the
Republican PARTY of the north will
stand for the exclusion of any sec
tion of our people 10y reason of their
race or color, when, in other respects,
such persons have complied with the
laws and are eligible under the law to
full and free participation in political
action and are of n high standard Of
personal character"

Authority is asked to charter for Il
period of ten years (siX years beyond

steamer. constructed with special refer
ence to handling mails to and from the
great lake steamers while passing at
full speed. This service. begun sev-
eral years q 30 at Detroit, has grown
i'll efficiency and appreciation until it
has become an almost indispensable
feature of lake navigation.
The rural free delivery system. the
report says. has become IL permanent
feature of the postal service and the

ceiptS and improved conditions wherev-

gress to say whether establishment of
routes already laid out shall be has
tened, and the installation of routes in
course of investigation expedited. Ad-
ditional appropriations must be made
for this purpose.
1t is recommended that congress
make provision for leave of absence,
with full pay, for rural carriers not
TO exceed fifteen days in Il fiscal year.
Extension to rural carriers of power
to receive and register letters has
proved so acceptable public benefit
that it is purposed further to increase
their usefulness by adding. under prop
er regulations, an extension of the
money order system to rural routes.
Rural carriers are now empowered to
receipt for money orders. 1t is intend
ed after the 1st of January next to en-
power them also to pay money orders
at the residences of known patrons
of the routes

The MonocIe In Berlin.

There has been an unprecedented de-
mand for monocIes in Berlin since the
officers have learned that the kaiser
uses one. His majesty's monOcle was
first discovered last week while he was
sitting at table on his special train en-
route to visit the Prince Vondhona.
According to the dispatches, when the
train stopped at n station observers
saw the kaiser reading n paper with Il
monocle in his right eye. The kaiser
was never before known to wear a
glass. He is farsighted in his right
eye. 1t is said that the monOcle is be-
coming the rage among the officers,
who always slavishly initiate the en-
peror.

THE LAW AS TO
HONOR MEDALS
Recipients Must Be in the Service of
the United States When Honor
is Recommended.

Washington, Nov. 11.-An opinion
has been rendered by Attorney Gen
eral Knox which will have far-reach-
ing effect upon medals of honor and
certificates of merit. 1t sustains the
opinion of ex-Secretary General Dev-
ems, who held that n certificate of hon
or could not be granted to man who
was no longer in the service of the
United States. This did not apply to
men who have been recommended for
such certificates previous to the time
they left the service.
The opinion of General Devens has
been practically ignored for many
years and certificates of merit have
been issued up to the present time to
men who served in the civil war. The
latest opinion will put an end to such
certificates. not only for the civil war
but also for the Spanish war and in
most instances for service in the Phil
ippines, especially when performed by
volunteers.

UNIONLABOR' SPOWER
Shown in Three Notable incidents
of the Recent Elections in
the States.
WHAT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA
Also That GroundsweII as .'Rhody''
Administration View of Lilly
White" Republicanism.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE impor-
many sections of the country in the re-
cent election has not failed to impress
itself on the minds of students of pol
itics here. The workingmen's vote in
many places puzzled both political par
ties. but indicates strongly that organ
lied labor is beginning to use the bal
lot as Il means of immense power. TAX
ing last Tuesdays results as Il sample,
the unions in the future may nominate
their own candidates and act indie
dendently of the old parties or may
throw their votes to men who believe
in their policies and demands.
Union Labor Vote in California.
In at least three sections of the coun-
try the labor vote. cast almost as q
body, cut Il most important figure. In
many other places it welded an indi-
rect influence that amounted to Il great
deal. In California the union labor
vote overturned two Republican repre-
sentatiyes and put union men in their
places. Representatives Kahn and
Loud both are to be succeeded by un-
ion men who received the Democratic
nominations. The union labor vote came
near electing Il Democratic governor in
California, the Republican nominee
receiving n majority of only few
thousand. The same interests some
time ago elected one of their number. a
musician. mayor of San Francisco.
Cause of the Rhode Island slump.
y street car strike at Providence
r. l., last summer caused the election
of a Democratic member of congress
and 4 Democratic governor and lieu
tenant governor in Rhode Island The
Democratic congressional committee
had made no pretpnSe of claiming Il
district in Rhode Island, and not
even the most optimistic Democratic
prophets attempted to claim the elec.
ton of a Democratic governor in a
rOck-ribbed Republican state like
Rhode Island. The change was brought
about by the labor vote.
In the Eleventh PENNSYLVANIA dis
trict the United Mine Workers took a
hand and surprised leaders of both
parties. The miners elected George
Howell Il Democrat, to congress from
that district in place of Representa-.
tive Connell. the millionaire coal op.
orator. who has represented the dis.
trict for years. The miners not only
elected Howell. but chose three men,
bers of the lower house of the Iegisla-
ture. defeating Republican nominees
by unexpected majorities.

FAVoRs RURAL FREE DELIVERY
And Also Better Terms for Some of
the Postmasters and Post
office Clerks.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of oRbert ]. Wynne, first as
Sistant postmaster general, urges that
in view of the success of the rural
free delivery establishment and its fu-
ture necessities the recommendation
for $12,655, 800 in the estimates for that
purpose is reasonable The amount is
an increase of Il little more than So
100000 over the current fiscal year To
correct what the report considers the
injustice of compelling II postmaster to
pay part of his salary for clerk hire
Wynne urges legislation authorizing
the pOstotfice department to make al
lowances for clerk hire at third-class
postOtiices, when it is satisfactorily
shown that the postmaster, by devOt-
ing his tisne and attention to the Of
flee, is unable to transact the pOstof-
flee business
