A GREAT NEWSPAPER.
The Pittsburg Gazette one of the most
Progressive Publications in Exis-
tence.

Progressive Publications In Exis-
tence.
Since the present proprietors as
sumed charge of the Pittsburg Gazette
transformation in the character of
the paper has been effected. Ultra
conservatism had characterized the
Gazette for many years. Now its
chief characteristic is progressiyeness.
Much money is being spent to keep it
in the forefront Of the country's most
enterprising publications, and the
way the circulation has increased I'M
der the new management must be
very gratifying to those directly in
uerested.
A record has already been made by
the Sunday Gazette. Although it is
the latest Sunday paper in this field
the bona fide circulation approximates
SO, 900. The only explanation Of this
is found in the superior character of
the exclusive features of the Sunday
Gazette. The management logically
reasoned that the public could be per-
suaded to buy the new paper in pref
erence to all others only by offerin-
something better than the other Sun
day papers contained. SO they reso-
lutely set about obtaining high priced
talent wherever il was available, till
now the Sunday Gazette's staff is the
talk of newspaper people everywhere.
Both writers and artists of high re-
pute are contributing to the pages Of
this interesting publication every
week.
The engagement of Josiah Flynt to
Investigate the 'sUnuer Worldn was a
characteristic stroke on the part of
! the Gazette. Mr.. Flynt's series of ar
ticles on the ''Offjeiai Protection Of
Vice in Pittsburg and Allegheny" has
proved the greatestest newspaper sem
sation of years. The series appeared
exclusively in the Sunday Gazette.

WE KNEW 1T
But no one eyer Expected the Times to
Admit Ii so Freely.

The following boquet is taken from
a long article in the Fairmont Times
about Morgantown, The compliment
is OF course we'll deserved but even
people VINO know how well the Times
man knew Morgantown did not expect
him to come right out and admit 1t;
Nothing is quite SO well done else
where, as II is ia Morgantown. The
people there are a shade better than
other people. The Lord will gather
them unto himself before be does any
other community, when the Judgment
Day comes. In Morgantown the air
is purer. the stars shipe brighter,
there Is more sunshine. and all nature
is more resplendant than In any other
community In West Virginia.

Uncle Sam Now Pays Them $3.50 a
Year-Inerease Came as a Surprise
to Them-Anderson RecoVered-Car-
ney to Take Vacation Holiday Rush
Over at Last.
Matters at the postoffice have set
tied down into the regular routine
and the holiday rush has at last
been cleaned up. The force worked
like Trojans during the 10 days
around Christmas and New Year
Not until to-day have they been
able to catch up with the deliveries
and to get everything fixed SO that
they can get the mail delivered
promptly as usual
The carriers looked like pack
mules on their trips every day and
they are all badly overworked
However there were very slight de
lays in deliveries and these could
not have been avoided by any posi-
BILE exertion.
Dolph Anderson who played out
under the strain will be back at his
desk on Monday. He has been re-
lieved by substitute carrier M. T.
Sisler who has been giving good sat
isfactlon to the patrons Of the route
Emerson Carney will take his va
cation beginning on Monday and
Mr.. Sisler will take bis place in the
meantime. The rest of the carriers
will take short time off in success
sion.
On opening their envelopes at the
last pay the carriers were agreeably
surprised to find that they had been
raised one class and that their sala
ries have been increased to $3.50 a
year They started at 5000 and run
that way for the first year.
= The men expected to be raised as
the law provides for this but they
expected that it would take some
time to get the matter arranged.
They are now getting as much as
they ever will receive unless a bill
now pending before Congress passes
which will allow the 81 900 year
after two year service.

Washington. May 2.-The examina-

on account OF their diverting the hre
Of the Spaniards, the resistance TO
the United States forces was some

General Macarthur spoke OF tho
capture of papers from high Filipino
officials. IN which the information was
contained that If President Mckinley
should be reelected the insurgents
would surrender to the authorities Of
the United States. His proclamation
issued shortly after, giving a correct
Interpretation of the laws of war, he
said had the effect of mitigating the
atrocities by the Filiplnos, which had
become so common, and of convinc-
ing thousands that their loyalty 10
the United States would be protected.
General Macarthur expressed the
opinion that the rebellion against
Spain did not have independence for
| it's object. 1.-THE Filipinos simply
wanted the same rights that spaniards
had at home" said the witness. "but
the insurrection against the United
States became a demand for lndepend'
ence so far as the leaders could give
It that FORM"
Before leaving Manila, General Mac.
Arthur said he had a conversation
with Aguinaldo. who told him that he
had been misinformed as to the char
acter OF the American people and the
purposes OF the American govern
ment. Aguinaldo also had told him II
