If President Roosevelt can with stand the bombardment that he is get ting within and without his own ranks, and pull out another nomina- tion he will be doing well. One writ CT asks him number of pointed ques- tions, among which are the following: "Were you sincere free trader when you were member of the New York Free Trade club in the early sos and when you said you would die for free trader If so, how do you explain your letter of resignation to the secre- tary, Poultney Bigelow, written after you had decided to desert the independ- ents, who had elected you to the New York legislature, an when you had de cided to go over to the enemy, Platt and the professional politicians whom you were elected to fight and against whom you expressed great hatred ? Was it not purely and simply to pro mote your political ambitions? Are you willing now to repeat your free trade speeches on the stump? You say you are always willing to say on the stump what you say off of it. You are now playing the republican,; when will the free trade performance begin One year ago pr Schurman, one of your good republican friends, gave us the campaign slogan for 1904 of the three Roosevelt, Reciprocity and Revision" of the tariff. If, as gener. ally supposed. pr schurman then cor rectly summarized your position on the tariff, as gathered from your New Eng land speeches, are you willing to re peat those speeches now? If not why not? Is there any truth in the widely published statements that the Protective Tariff leag que people changed your views when they in- formed you, just before you left Wash ington on April 1, that If you did not cease to talk revision they would pre- vent your nomination?

A poor workman named Fritz of Berlin, who invented time fuse of a greatly improved character, recently sold the German rights of his inven- tton to the Krupps, for a cash payment of $5o,oo0 and a royalty on each of the devices turned out by the firm. He had already made similar disposition of the French, English and American rights, with the result that he finds himself suddenly very wealthy. The advantage of his invention is that it is susceptible of the finest adjustment, so that the exact moment of the desired explosion may be fixed with absolute certainty. 5-1

BE MASTER OF THE SITUATION.

Do not allow yourself to get into the way of staying at home whenever you do not feel like going to your office, store or place of business. Often times, especially during summer, the temptation is very strong in the morn ing, when one feels languid or lazy from the heat to say to oneself, 'tWell, I don't feel like it to-day. I think I shall take it easy and let things take care of themselves until am up to the mark" Now this is just the encour- agement the lazy body wants, and you can not afford to let the temptation conquer you. You must always be master of the situation and, when your faculties and functions are like sol diers who do not care to drill, but whose duty it is to do so, you must as. sune the office of commanding gener. al. Don't allow yourself to become a slave to the miserable little absorbers of your health and happiness. Every time a diseased thought, thought in
 in1icaI to your health or achievement comes to you, expel it at once. Don't stop to discuss, or weigh, or consider 1t. Drive it off if it is not friend
 and replace it by a strong, healthy
 beautiful thought. If you persist 1T this course you will fill your mind witt hosts of health beauty thoughts. and achievements thoughts which will make you physically anC mentally vigorous, successful and hap

Some one is trying to queer the St Louis exposition gold dollars, and a re- port that the dollars are Of silver has gained considerable circulation. IT emanated rather strange to say, from Washington. It is coupled with the criticism that the price of three dol lars in currency for a souvenir dollar in silver is excessive, and the predfc- tion is made by the numismatist quot ed that the silver dollars, although of distinctive coinage, cannot command this premium. The Louisiana Pur- chase centennial dollars are of gold, No gold dollars had been coined ill this country since 1890, until congress ,au- thorized the Louisiana Purchase cen tennial dollars. The coinage of gold dollars began in 1S49. Between that date and 1890 there were coined 19,- 499, ,337 gold dollars. In 1890 congress repealed the act authorizing dollar coinage from gold, so that it was ne- cessary to have specific act of con- gross for this Louisiana Purchase cen tennial issue. It is the testimony of the leading nunismatists or the coun- try that the standard price for any one of the ordinary gold dollars in good condition, issued before 1S9O, Is $2.O0, as a minimum. There are gold dol lars of years when the coinage was small which command much higher premiums. Some of those gold dol lars sell from $25.0O to $50.o0 each.

 ''It seems strangely deserted" he said,
 Ut is,'' the custodian replied. Then he added in tired voice, There's noth- ing doing."
 The visitor halted in surprise.
 But I thought you had standing committee here Of eminent promoters of peace" he said.
 Guess it got tired of standing,' re- marked the guide with a grin. "Any- way, haven't seen one of 'em around here for year or more They used to drop in and play checkers, but they got tired of that after 8 while"
 "But I supposed that all the great questions affecting the peace of nations were arbitrated here?"
 "No so's you notice it,' laughed the guide. "I don't think any of 'em would get in without my catchin' on to the fact. "But how about the czar of Russia ? He was the main instigator of this in stitution, wasn't he?"
 F'Yes, but he's got his hands full all the time. When he ain't movin' ill closer on China. he's gettin' ready to twist Turkeys neck. and mebby make a dash across upper India"
 And the Kaiser?"
 "Oh. he's struttin' around with chip on his shoulder and ready for a scrap at any moment" .,
 s"And the king of England?" ....
 He's busy fghtin' his way across Africa, an fortifyin' Canada. an build in more warships." .~ ~.
 "And Uncle Sam?"
 "He thinks he doesn't have any use for the temple. Besides he hasn't the time to fool with it. He's buildin' up a great fghtin' navy, an he's scrap pin in the Philippines, an he's all the time experimentin' with big cannon. an rapid-fre guns, an torpedoes, an dynamite powder. He's got that Pan anna canal to watch, you know. He's afraid someone will grab it away from him if he turns his back" ~@, T see." remarked the visitor, tIn- ternationa1 peace is still largely mat ter of theory" ..~.. 'T guess you've hit it." said the cus- todian wearily. Anyway, it's awfully l lonesome here"
 And then their footsteps slowly died away in the echoing distance.

WASHING ON LINES.
Modern Laundry Has Reduced Wash

Modern Laundry Has Reduced Wash
 ing to 8 Science.
 The modern laundry has reduced the washing of clothes and household linen to an exact science, and while one may. question it's reliability as regards the marvellous time-sayer, and this very feature is the one which appeals to the average American. It is not difficult to imagine how the wash" of the house. hold can be done up'' quickly, but when it comes to handling the numer- ous pieces used by the 20O0 people who compose the crew and passengers of an ocean greyhound. the subjecr gains interest. The process though simple is the result of much study.
 When a transatlantic liner with, say 2,oO0 people on board, reaches port. the wash" quickly follows the passengers ashore. Its size depends upon the num- Der of passengers carried and the length of the voyage. It may range from 5000 to 25,000 pieces, consisting mainly of sheets, table cloths, napkins, towels etc. This, to use laundry term, l is s'plain work" The quantity matters little to the laundryman. His first move is to sort the pieces-the counting is done when they are tied into bundles to be returned.
 The separate lots are put into wash CTS holding solution of soap and water and bluing heated by live steam. The washer is large stationary cylinder. which revolves first to the right and then to the left stated number of times, so that the linen is tossed from side to side and receives the benefit of all the water that is forced through the perforations. After the washing is completed the pieces are placed in the extractor, and then by centrifugal force nearly every drop of moisture Is whirled out of them. The operation consumes about IS minutes, and then they are ready for the mangler, or, in other words, ready to be ironed-the final process.
 The bed of the mangle Is small steam-heated chamber, over which re- volve several rollers, covered with wool and an outside jacket of canvas, which is waxed to prevent the fabrics from l sticking to the machine and becoming wrinkled or torn. The table cloths, or towels, as the case may be, are fed 1 into one side of the machine. travel l under the rollers, md then are carried l to the under side of the bed on a sheet, 1 which, when the edge of the bed is reached, drops them into another sheet l for conveyance to the women folders on the opposite side to which they orig l inally started. Tn cases where starch must be used the fabrics are placed in a dry-air chamber, and afterward dampened before they are fed to the mangles.
 Some pieces can be washed, wrung and ironed in 30 minutes, while others take 11s hours. The wash" from an l ocean liner is usually returned within A hours, but when necessity arises the work can be finished in less than third l of that time. Some of the laundries l handling steamship and railroad work have a weekly capacity of 100000 ! pieces, and the business has become so well systematized that hardly one piece l Is lost or misplaced, and few require a l second cleaning.

STANDARD REMEDY CURED
 HER.

Our child, months of age, was nearly dead from starvation November 9. 1902. No milk could be taken and retained on her stomach for months. All hope was gone. As a last resort we began giving Standard Remedy as directed by T. S. Carroll, general agent, and the result was miraculous. Tn three days a small quantity of milk was retained and digested. Tn one month the gain in weight was from 101s lbs to IA lbs, and the child is well. We lost one child 16 months old from same cause which makes the life of this little one doubly dear to us. May this testimonial and the appeal we make through 1t to the public. especial ly those that are rearing children, re- pay you in part for the happiness you through the Standard Remedy have been the means of giving us. May God speed the good work you have but just begun in Waterbury.

& New York, Sept. The spirit Of
revolution is gaining in force on the 18TH
mus, as the result Of the rejection Of
the canal treaty by the Colombian con-
gress at Bogota, says a Times dispatch
from Panama.
Only vigorous action on the part Of
the government can prevent an out

it is doubtful whether such action is
possible.
Gen. Huertas, commandant at Fort
Chuiriqui, and virtually the command
er of all the government forces 4 in

the only officer to whom the govern
sment may look with any hope of
checking any revolutionary spirit.

SHEET METAL WORKERS
OUT ON STRIKE AGAIN
Men Say Firms Broke Agreements, but
Employers Deny 1t.

The sheet metal workers in the shops
Of the st. Paul Roofing, Cornice and
ornamental company and the Lee
febvres-Deslauriers Cornice company,
yesterday ment on strike. The stories
to be cleaned are Of a conflicting ma
ture.
The men state explicitly that the
agreement, signed by the firms at the
time the men returned to work, ten
days ago, from a former strike, says
clearly that the firms agree to employ
no non-union men. The men also de-
clare that they have been working
with non-un1on men, more or less, ever
since returning to work; that they
said nothing at first. preferring to give
the employers all the time necessary
to secure men who were of union prin-
c1ples and get rid of those who were
not, without undue inconvenience.
They further assert that the firms in
question made no apparent move to-
ward doing as agreed. and that nothing
was left to do but walk out.
On the other hand. the firms state
that 1t Is absolutely necessary, be-
cause of all the lost time through the
strike this spring, to hire more men
than the local union can furnish them
IN order to get the contracted work
out, and they further say that the hir-
ing of such men is not in violation of
any agreement signed by them.
In all thirty-five men are out. They
held a meeting last night, but at late
hour no change had taken place in the
situation.
