Roosevelt Visits Lincoln Home.

Springfield Ills, Juno 4.-President
Roosevelt spent four hours in Springfield
today. during which time he dedicated a
new state arsenal and armory and ad-
dressed the Mckinley Lincoln Veterans
Association of the United States. The
president said:
ut Is a very great pleasure for me to
see you today, you, the veterans, In q
double sense, you who represent the
navy, the union and army and all else to
which Americans should without regard
to any minor differences, be one in the
allegiance.
Let me say one word. 1t seems to mo
erniuentlv fitting that the guard around
the tomb of Lincoln should be composed
of colored soldiers. 1t was my own good
fortune at Santiago to serve beside col
ored troops man who Is good enough
TO shed his blood for his country is good
enough to be given square deal after
ward More than that no man Is en-
titled to and less than that no man
shall have.
of the arsenal today spoke in part as
follows:
1T is a good thing for you to pay
homage to the memory of Abraham LIN
coin. but it is an infinitely better thlns
for US In our lives to pay homage TO
his memory In the only way which that
homage can be effectively paid. by seeing
to 1t that this republics life, social and
political, civic and industrial. Is shaped
now in accordance with the ideals which
Lincoln practiced and which all his NE
long he practiced. The greatness of our
forefathers must serve not as an excuse
to us for failing to do our duties In re-
turn. but as a spur to make us feel that
we are doubly recreant to them as wen
as to ourselves if we fail to rise level
with the standard they set To the men
of Lincon's generation the supreme gilt
was given OF being true to themselves
III a great national crisis. Theirs was not
the life of ease. the life of comfort. For
their good fortune they were given Il
duty hard TO perform. but supremacy
well worthy of performing"

postoffice officials in pressing the invesu-
CATION Of the departments affairs. 1t is
ais intention that the investigation shall
be sweeping and thorough and that every
charge properly vouched for shall be
probed to the bottom.
The situation In the postofflce depart
ment was considered In Its general phases
at the meeting Of the cabinet today, but
Postmaster General Payne did not go
fully into the details This afternoon
however, the president and Mr. Payne
had a long conference, during which they
considered the situation in the depart
ment at length. It Is understood that the
president expressed TO MI Payne the DEF
sire that the investigation now being made
should be searching as the ingenuity of
the officials could make it and should be
pursued until the department has been
purged OF even the suspicion of dishon-
esty. Immediately after Mr. Payne re-
turned to the department from the white
house he sent for Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow, whom he
acquainted with the president

questions today as to whether he was to
give states evidence.
Commissioner Taylor today dismissed
the case against A W. Machen. former
Superintendent of the free delivery serv-
Ice of the postoffice department. which
was pending before him. The dismissal
is due to the fact chat the grand jury
indicted Machen, thus rendering further

Will Recognize Castro's Decree.

Washington, June lit Is probable the
United States government will recognize
the legality of President Castro's decree
ciosing the ports In Venezuela now in
the nossession Of the insurgents. Techni-
cally this decree does not constitute a
blockade, but practically the consequence
Of its enforcement would be similar to
one. No notice has been yet received
here OF the reported English protest
against the decree, but something Of the
kind Is expected.

lation Of which Is a fine not moro than
three times the amount asked or accept
ed or received, and by Imprisonment not
more than three years.
The amount which the Indictment finds
he received Illegally is $18.9S7.79. Mr.. Ma
chen was in court with his attorneys
when the grand jury reported and imme-
dlately gave bond in the sum Of SIC, GOD
for his appearance in court. The trial
will occur in October
BY securing an indictment against Ma
chen before tomorrow, The day set for
his preliminary hearing before Commits
sioner Taylor the government has scored
a victory by thus avoiding the necessity
of showing its hands at preliminary
hearing. The proceedings before the
commissioner will now be abandoned.
In discussing the case with his friends
Mr.. Machen explains that certain checks
which it is maintained we're sent to Ma
chen in payment Of his profits in the
Croft fastener, and which have been Sc
cured by the postoffice inspectors, were
sent him by his business partner, George
E. Lorenz, of Toledo Ohio. Mr.. Lorenz
was formerly postmaster at Toledo.
Mr. Machen claims that his partnership
with Lorenz was strictly legitimate
one and that the checks transmitted to

Upon Mr. Machen's arrest we demand
cd an immediate hearing which was OPP
posed by the government, and at the re-
quest OF the government a continuance
was had until June 6.
Mr. Machen and his counsel had every
reason to believe that In the interim no
steps would be taken TO deny him the pre-
lm!nary examination 70 which he was en-
titled The authorities responsible for
the issuance of this warrant have seen
proper to bring the same charges now
pending before Commissioner Taylor to
the attention of the grand jury. The
grand jury has in consequence INJECTED

full hearing before the United States com

WEAK IN THE ALPHABET.
Some Letters That Men Can Never
 Learn to Make.

"Why is it that with some men some letters of the alphabet are harder to make than others and, i'll fact, that there are some letters that some men never learned how to makeT asked young man who takes considerable in- terest in the matter of handwriting in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It is a rather singular fact that nearly every man outside of the experts Is weak on one or more of the letters in the English alphabet Sometimes the letter involved is capital letter; some times it is of the smaller kind; some times 1t is one letter and sometimes another In any event, you will find few men who are exempt from the fail ing referred to.
 "I know of one man who in spite of the fact that he does a great deal of writing has never learned how to make a capital P. He simply makes a stag ger at it, and, as a rule, the result of than like the capital P. 1 know an- other man who can't make a small f to save his life. He can never get the lower part of the letter below the line. He makes 1t look like clubfooted b instead of an f. There are others who. when they try to make the small b, give 1t the long shank, and it looks more like the letter f. It is rather sin gular that these traits should hang on to a mans writing for lifetime, but they do it just the same, and if you make a few inquiries among your friends and acquaintances you will find that but few of them are exempt from this fault.
 Ut is very much like the habit of spelling certain words incorrectly. Many men who are rated as first class spoilers pass through life without ever in a single instance spelling certain words correctly. It is due to habit largely. If you should ask them how to spell the word, they would tell you, but, when they go to write 1t, that is quite different, and they will get it wrong every time. So they know, too, how certain letters should be made, but they simply can't put them down on paper It is curious but common fault"
