juries of both Cissell and Elliott were
dressed.
Elliott is undoubtedly violently in
sane. Several days ago Secretary Loeb
received a letter, postmarked Washing
ton, and written on letter paper of the
St James hotel, this city. The letter
inclosed photograph of Elliott and an
incoherent request for an interview
with President Roosevelt. The letter
was signed Peter Ell" the statement
being made Immediately under the sig
nature that the writer was registered
at the hotel as Peter Elliott" 1t was
evident to Secretary Loeb that his cor
respondent was insane, and he issued
directions at once that the officers on
duty both at the White House and at
the executive office should be on their
guard against him. The photograph
was turned over to the secret service
officers.
Elliott tried to accost the President
Sunday at Grace Reformed Church. but
was foiled in his endeavor by the Sc
cret service officers.
Shortly before ~ o'clock yesterday
Elliott walked up to the main door of
the White House, stepped inside, and
inquired of Officer Cissell If he might
| see the President.
Chief Usher Stone and Officer Parker
were standing just within the vesti-
bule at the time Mr.. Stone told the
man that he could not see the Presi-
dent just at that moment. as he was
engaged, but that he might possibly ar
range to see him after a while. In
stantly, the man having been recog-
nized. a hurry call was sent for the
police van. Scarcely had the call been
sent in when Elliott became violent.

Lumber Supply Decreasing.

Estimates by conservative lumber
men show that the days of numbering
in the upper peninsula of Michigan
will soon be past. Before five years
have passed there will be practically
no timber left standing in Baraga.
Houghton and Keweenaw counties
large enough to make a log Menom-
inee county, which about ten years ago
was the largest lumber producing dis
trict in the world, has lost its rank
and now produces scarcely tenth of
its former amount. The mills which
were located there have been moved
to Louisiana and Washington. Baraga
has timber enough to keep its few
mills running for few years more,
but like all the other parts of the state
where numbering has been carried on,
its end is near. Every season makes
the timber tracts of Houghton count.

WASTED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Net Uncle Sam More Than a Million
Dollars Year.

An experienced clerk in a branch
postoftice up town says that Uncle
Sam is in pocket every year more
than 81 100000 by purchases of post
age stamps which never are used.
How many stamps" he says, "do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly in your pockets and fishing them
out again, glued together and useless? :?
How many do you put in corner. of
your pocketbook, finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? OF course, nobody
ever thinks of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste
am speaking of averaged 20 cents an
nually for each business man. The to-
tai would be enormous.
Hot weather was great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oiled books came in: but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age is about the same. Some persons
actually come back to the stamp win
dow and ask if lost stamp books can
be traced, like bank books. Another
way in which Uncle Sam gains is
through tradesmen sending out letters
inclosing stamped addressed envelopes
for replies which in the majority OF
cases are never used.
Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. Think OF
the thousands Of return POSTAL cards,
too, that are never used. Lots of per-
sons are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers, and they fall off.
Then the matter is held up for double
postage on the other end of the line

the 100000 already on the pension
rolls.
The commissioner of pensions. Mr.
Ware, estimates the number of surviy-
Crs of the Civil War who are not now
drawing pensions at more than 200, 900
He says they may number 225, ,0U.
If the proportion of widows to sur
vivors is as great as was the propor-
ton Of widows TO survivors at the cor
responding dates after the Mexican
War, there are probably few more
than 100 900 widows of Civil War vet
Grams who are rot now drawing pen
sions.
1t is difficult to estimate what pro-
portion of the survivors are siXty-two
years old or more, but it is quite prob
able that enough are of that age to
bring the total of new pensioners, in
Guiding the widows, up to about 300

IT'S A MISTAKE.
To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor
Grades of Coffee.

Many people lay all the blame for

land was represented. The organiza-
ton adopted several resolutions gov
erning the conduct of its members in
|. regard to the strike, reiterating its de-
yiance of the Western Federation OF
Miners. The members of the executive
committee were reelected and the or
ganization perfected.
1t was resolved that hereafter no
member of the association shall grant
a lease to any member OF the western
Federation of Miners or to any lessee
having in his employ member OF the
federation Another important motion
carried, to the effect that permanent
labor bureau be established similar to
that of the Occur d Alene district,
whereby employees can be secured
for all the mines through one agency.
The third resolution expresses com
Dlete satisfaction at lHe SUCCESS op-
tanned thus far and the executive COM

mittee The latter is composed of the
following members, who will serve un-
til the annual election in January.

After the meeting Secretary Hamlin
gave out brief but forceful interview
in which he denied rumors to the effect
that the association had Joined the op-
orators throughout the West to fight
the Western Federation of Miners.
1--WE have troubles of our own to
fight in the Cripple Creek district"
he said, without aiding in general
contest outside our own boundaries.
But in this district we will wage the
fight to determination. Within thirty
days the camp will be producing its
usual tonnage and though so far as we
are concerned the strike is over, we
have much house cleaning to do.
