Statemnt from the Postmaster Gem
eral Regarding Appointments of
Fourth Class POstmasters.

$WashingtOn, September 12.-Post-
master General Payne today made a
statement regarding his policy in the
appointment of fourth class post mas
tiers. with particular reference to the
recent removal of Miss Todd. the post
master at Greenwood, Del. in which he
says there is no rule governing the
tenure of fourth class postmasters ex-
cept an informal one that they should
not be removed until they had served
four Years. He says the appoint
mentS are political. and not governed
by civil service rules. He says:
One of he rules governing the ac-
ton OF pOStmaSterS is. that no pOStmas-
ter shall allow his office to be made
the headquarters of a political party,
or a faction of a political party; nor
shall be be aggressively active in stir
ring up fractional Q~uarrels. political or
otherwise. Miss Todd, who was re-
moved from the office at Greenwood.
allowed her office to be in effect. the
headquarters of, and her family and
herself to be the most active factors
in. a fractional political quarrel inside
the republican party. This she vir-
tually admitted in her interview with
me. and. according to tho rule referred
10 above. was sufficient cause for her
removal"

COL. BELkNAP'S SPEECH.
Opening of the Republican State.
Campaign in Kentucky.

Munfordville. KY. September Fin
the presence of several thousand peo-
pie. the republican state campaign was
opened here today by Colonel Morris
3. Belknap candidate for governor.
Colonel Belknap's speech dealt mainr
~ with tho pardon record of Governor
Beckham. which he asserted was large
ly responsible for the lawless cOndi-
tons prevailing in Breathitt and other
counties.
Referring to one of the more noted OF
the Breathitt county p%ardOns, Colonel
Belknap said: perhaps Raleigh was
innocent of having voted any other
h a the democratic ticket. Raleigh
was the man convicted of killing q lit
tie girl in Breathitt county and VIII
was pardOned by Mr.. Beckham. Your
| governor by pardoning this miscrearfc
| has shown that he thinks the brute
who would improperly accost youH
daughters and then shoot them like
dogs was fit after a few years pun
| ishment to enjoy the full provisions OF
citizenship.
The table of pardons granted during
the last three administrations shows
set free in eleven years. Those paroleG
and not counted would easily carry the
number to 1000.
Mr.. Beckham q asked me in the
event of nv election if l would par
don Howard or Powers or either OF
them. I answered in words of Lord
Coke: When the case happens / shah
do that which shall be fit for a judge
to do"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful it is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
GOA is the safest n most efficient
diSinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU make of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbes the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal SWeetenS the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odOrOuS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it WhltenS the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth n throat from
the poison of catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money IS in
Stuart'S Absorbent LOZenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered VII
low charcoal. and other harmless anti
septics in tablet form or rather in the
form of large. pleasant tasting lOZenges,
the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lOZengeS Will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health. better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, thai no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use. but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal. says: Il adj
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all
patients suffering from a in tomac
and bowels. and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth ana
throat: l also believe the liver is great
" benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-fve-cents a box
at drug stores, and although IN some
sense a patent preparation, yet L be-

in Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges than IN
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

Norfolk, Va, September 1.-THE ex-

tacEment Of marines under Captain
Boots, soon quelled what o to be
a very dangerous blaze.
The EXPLOSION was, according to re-
ports from Y witnesses, the direct
result of the theft of u barrel of grain
alcohol, containing fifty-sfX gallons, by
a party Of sailors. This barrel was, it
