MOTOR WAGON"
From Thursdays Daily.

Everett Sawyer, a young boy employed
at J. L. Palmer's gunshop, has demon
strated himself to be quite mechani-
cal expert. Monday he appeared on the
streets with "motorwagon" which he
built himself, controlling it as perfectly
as the railroad man does track tricycle..
There are four wheels to Everett's vehi-
Gle and the propelling power is furnished
with an upright lever worked the same
as the lever on railroad tricycle. A
piston connects the lower end of this
lever with an extended axle for the rear
wheels. The construction of the machine
or wagon, shows much ingenious SKILL

MACVEAGH MAKES DENIAL.
Says no Trace of Ill Feeling De-
NelOped at The Hague.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-Wayne Mac
Veagh, who arrived at Brookfield farm.
his country home near Philadelphia, to-
day, authorizes the Associated Press to
give an unqualified denial to the mis-
representations published while he was
at sea respecting his relations to the
Venezuelan arbitration. Mr.. Mac
Veagh said:
AS usual, there is in this tissue of
talsehoods grain of truth, but so dis
torted as hardly to be recognized. About
month ago the counsel for Venezuela
were surprised to learn that they
would not be allowed access to the pa
pers in the cause. This decree was
made, not by the court but by a ma
jority of the diplomats accredited to
The Hague, who were constituted by
The Hague conference an administra-
tive council for the tribunal.
Being diplomats and not lawyers
such mistake was very natural, and
I pointed out this fact in courteous
language, saying that as soon as the
court assembled it would doubtless cor
rect the error which it did at once
There was no occasion for a trace of
Ill feeling in the matter and l do not
believe any existed"

a Georgia young woman; when l en-

could not drink it and even a few swal-
lows would cause a terrible burning
in my stomach. 1t was at this time

nerves are as steady as any ones.
1 consider myself well and strong
and I make 1t a point now to take a
cup of Postum with a cracker or two
as soon as I come home from school

SULTAN FAVORED
RECENT OUTBREAK.
Turks scOT Mt Fear of European In
tcrVentiOn.


Beirut, Syria, Wednesday, Oct II
The apparent indifference of the Euro
pean powers to the recent outbreak of
Mohammedan fanaticism here has
deeply impressed the Christians. The
Moslems, on the other hand. are elated
and scott at the idea of the European
Intervention.
The attack on the Christians was
planned weeks before the arrival of
the American warships at Beirut. The
then Governor. Rechid Bey, telegraph
ed the details to ConstantinoDle and
asked for Instructions. None, however,
reached him. That his policy of non
interference was approved at the Yildiz
Kiosk was apparent from a telegram,
signed by the Sutan's chamberlain.
which was handed to him on the eve of
ms departure after his dismissal from
the goVernorship on the demand of the
United States. The telegram follows:
Your excellency's fidelity being well
established in the eyes of his most
sacred majesty the Ralph, you should
not allow yourself to be in the least
affected by the fact of your dismissal.
1t is his majesty's imperial will that
you return at once to ConstantinopIa
IN order to be the recipient of imperial
faVors."

THE MASS OF PEOPLE UNTOUCHED
BY the Vanishing of Paper Values.

BY the Vanishing of Paper Values.
From Joe Towards New York Letter
to Boston Globe.
The United States is emphatically
nation of homes. Domesticity is our
chief virtue. The first, though, of every
honest man, young or old. is to get
home. Now, so far as I can discover,
the American home life, unaffected by
monkey dinners, wrist bracelets, smart
set divorces, disloyaI friends and toa7
dies to wealth, is as solid and substan-
tai to-day as it was years ago, V~en
there was less glitter and more golu in
evidence. study the army OF men,
young and old, that starts out every
morning TO work. What are they going
to work for? Every one of the millions
either seeks opportunity for labor or
goes to his regular toll. What for? He
earns his daily bread by his early strug-
gle. In great centers like New York
and Boston, there is more or less pow
erty, and with poverty, suffering. The
great mass, however, earns literally its
daily bread. They know indistinctly
that there are very rich men, some
good, and some bad; rich women, some
good, many silly. and in a vague sort
of way they recognize that this that
or the other man has million dollars
or more. What does it mean to them?
Nothing. AS a chain is as strong as
its weakest link only, so a nation is
as prosperous as it's humbleSt class. In
no offensive meaning is the term, hum
blest, used but rather to indicate the
great majority OF US VINO say, with
feeling, GIVE us this day our daily
bread" meaning thereby the elements
that enter into domestic safety, COM
fort, ease and surety. Go to the mar
kets, to the stores. Do you find any
diminution in domestic purchasing?
Never in the history of the nation was
there so much sugar sold, tea, coffee,
butter, lard. hours of all brands, meats,
molasses surups. This is well-fed
nation, and food can't be had without
it's purchasing equivalent.
Where there is one Rockefeller with
an unsavory reputation, financial,
greedy and avariciOus, one Morgan
dominating for while his rivals and
friends alike, one system, blood suck
ing, nerve wearing and community UNI
dermining, there are millions of honest
men, earning, thank God, their daily
bread. For whom is this bread? 1t IS
the nourishment of wife and children;
it's hospitality to friends and neigh
bors; it's a solid and substantial salts
faction to the man who earns 1t, as he
sees those, who, to be sure, are depend
ent upon him, but who also love hlm,
partake of and enjoy it. OF the right
kind of prosperity the nation mas tuH
measure. OF the watered, nearly worth
less, pretentious prosperity we have had
more than enough. Thank heaven, those
whose cunning induced it and whose
avarice bloated it-and floated it, for
that matter-are finding out, at a late
date. to be sure that While wind is
useful in it's sphere, no gas bag mas

The Profit in auack Medicines.
From the New York Press.

1.-The number of nOstrums for the re-
duction of obesity that have been put
upon the market during the last two
months is almost without limit. SAID
a, Broadway druggist. Here, for in
stance, are four remedies, all designed
for a particular ailment, and every one
of them has been turned into our hands
for sale within month"
He placed two bottles, pill box ana
a tin can full of powder in row on
the showcase. Every one had word
on the wrapper suggesting corpulence,
but not using the word fat.
IAN of those remedies" said the
druggist, ARE supposed to be made of
special ingredients. But they are
nothing more than epson salts in one
form or another. We never recon-
mend them, but we have to keep them
on sale owing to the steadily increas-
ing demand for remedies of this sort.
1t is not that they are especially harm
full; they simply have the same weak
ening effect that epson salts have if
taken every day for a month or 1.-TWO.
Naturally they reduce the weight, but
the flesh comes right on again as soon
as the use is stopped. You can mag
inc the price paid for this when
tell you that our profit on this bottle
of stuff is so cents. 1t is sold for ST.
and l have no doubt that the manu-
facturer clears 80 cents on every bot
tie"

NEARLY ALL CLAIMS.
Continued from First Page.

dairy Commission was the first intima-
ton received by the State Department
that the commission had reached an
agreement.
State Department officials say that
the decision shows a distinct victory
for the United States. 1t is their
opinion that the effect of the decision
regarding the Portland canal merely
gives to Canada the possession of
Pearse island. d small island in the
Portland canal and of no special i'm
portance. This detail of the Contro-
versy is admitted by State Department
officials to have been open to argument
on both sides.
Pearse island is at the mouth of the
canal. The latter is divided into two
canals by the island, and Canada for
merly had undisputed use Of the east
ern channel Under the present de-
cision Canada will have the use of the
western channel.
