REDUCTION IN RATE.
Society Of American Authors to Ask
Congress for Cheaper Postage.

The members of the Society Of American
Authors have for some time been agitating
the question of cheaper postage for the
transmission through the mails of their
manuscripts. The question has been sew
eral times brought to the attention of the
Pest Office Department officials, and Con-
gress has been asked to take official action
toward accomplishing the desired end.
A meeting of the friends of the proposed
measure has been called for tomorrow aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock in the rooms of the
judiciary committee of the House of Rep
resentatives Capitol building. At this
meeting full explanation of the measure
will be made, and steps taken to organize
a local committee to safeguard the inter
ests of the BILL which is so far-reaching
in it's import for those who write.
1t is pointed out that authors, newspa-
per correspondents and ministers in the
United States pay cents an ounce for
mailing their manuscripts. Ii they wish 10
send these same manuscripts from the
United States to the most remote parts OF
the world they can do at the rate of
cent for every two ounces, or four times
cheaper than they can mail to points IN
the United States. The same writer's. also
if living in the remOteSt parts of the world
or, to make the statement more striking,
just across the border in Canada-can send
their manuscripts to points within the
United States at the rate of 1 cent for ev
they could if they resided within the United
States.
Most writer's realize, it Is urged, that a
manuscript is not always sold on its first
journey, unless it be of the nature of news
paper correspondence; consequently, Amer
lean authorship is under great disadvan-
tage because of the rate of postage charged
on manuscripts within the boundaries or
the United States.
Should an author forward his manuscript
| to a magazine or a publisher his only hope
of it's return is to forward postage at the
same rate. Every journey of a manuscript
tends to drain the resources of the author.
When the manuscript is sold, the publisher
can return it to the author for proof read
ing if accompanied by proof sheets, four
times more cheaply than the author could
mail it originally to the publisher.
G. Grosvenor Dave of 12S Broadway, N.
Y, is the secretary of the socity. and has
| called the meeting for tomorrow. The other
| officers are: President, Rastus S. Ransom;
| vice presidents, Mrs Julia Ward Howe, An
| drew Carnegie, Mrs. Ellen Hardin Wal
| worth, Gen Lew Wallace, Miss Grace DEMO
| Litchfield; treasurer and counsel Morris

DECLARED TO BE INSANE.
Man Who Sought President Roosevelt
Committed to Asylum.

Louis Bronstein, as stated in The Star
last night left his home in Greater New
York yesterday morning before the polls
opened and reached here about IL O'Clock.
His business with the President and Score
tary Loeb he regarded as of more i'm
portance than the casting of vote for the
mayoralty candidate. Bronstein seems to
think his life is in danger because members
of a gang of counterfeiters in New York
know of his intention to report their OPP
erations to the government officers in TINS
city. They had already tried to kill him. he
declared and unless they are locked up he
knows his life will be forfeited.
When searched at police headquarters by
Detective Flather the prisoner was found to
have SIS and loaded revolver in his pos
session. He also had an extra round OF
ammunition in his pocket. He did not mind
partin~ with his cash, but he offered a
strenu .; objection when the detectives re-
lieVed him of his weapon, which, he said,
he carried only for self-protecton. He knew
the counterfeiters would kill him, but his
request that he be permitted to retain the
weapon was denied.
BronStein searched the city yesterday
morning for a lawyer of his own national
ity, and then sought Rabbi Loeb at the
synagogue at 9th and G streets. He rela ted
his story to the pastor, and wanted the lat
ter to write him letter and otherwise as
Sist him. Realizing the mans mental trou =
BILE, the rabbi escorted him to police head
quarters. where he willingly repeated the
story of his imaginary troubles, and Detec-
tive Father found the loaded weapon in
the side pocket of Bronstein's overcoat
Bronstein gave his address as 613 Wythe
avenue. Brooklyn. He was examined by the
police surgeons and pronounced to be in
sane. Sanitary Officer Frank thereupon
sent him to the asylum, and his relatives
were notified by wire of his whereabouts A
telegram was received this afternoon from
RrOnSfaiD'S wife stating hat he is bar
way to this city and expects to arrive this
evening.

Paw Paw Will Cure YOUR

81 know" says Prof. Munyon, that dsordered
stomachs are responsible for nearly all bodily Ills
Where a person eats heartily and dgests his food
properly the blood is vItalized and enriched which
the liver and kidneys and all the vital organs
stomach is strong the blood is strong; where the
strong the kidneys, heart, lungs and
from starvation-that is, they starve the blood
they starve the nerves and the general tissues Of
the whole body. Not that people do not fill their
stomachs with nourishing food but because what
they put into the stomach does not properly digest,
does not properly assmilate."
That's why people write to say that Paw Paw
has cured them Of nervousness.
That's why among our record OF cures we find
many insomnia cases cured by Paw Paw.
That's why they tell us that Paw Paw has cured
them of rheumatism.
That's why We hear of kidney and liver troubles
that have been cured by Paw Paw.
That's why get many letters saying that
Paw Paw has cured Catarrh.
All these ailments probably had their origin in
some form OF stomach trouble, Paw Paw cured
and cleansed the stomach, purified the blood toned
up the nerves, and the sufferers found that
the other real or fancied ailments had left them.

Democratic First Time in Years
Correspondence of The Evening Star.

VIENNA, Va, November 4, 1903.
There was a very light vote polled here
yesterday, the good weather keeping the
farmers at home. The colored vote was ex-
ceedingly light. Mr.. Lewis H. Machen,
candidate for state senate, carried the
Providence district over his republican op-
ponent, DR.. F. Brooks, by "a majority. Rep
resentative Lee of the house of delegates
had a walkover. The total vote polled was
81. This precinct went democratic, the
first time in years.
