Ground was broken Wednesday for a
building, which is to be erected IN
connection with lumber yard on
East Eighth street. The structure Is
to be dry kiln built along the latest
ideas in that branch of the lumber
business. The building Is to be OF
brick, 20 by 60 feet and it's capacity
will be about $4,000 feet OF lumber
The excavating Is being done by a
gang of men under the direction CT
Contractor John Skeeles.
The plan which is being followed in
the construction of the kiln was Sc
lected by the company after a thor
ough investigation of several different
systems with view OF securing the
best results.
The erection Of the building was
made necessary by the projected
change in the tracks of the Wheeling
4 Lake Erie railroad which pass d.
rectly through the lumber yards. The
prcposed Strengthening of the railroad
tracks will necessitate still further
changes at this point.

Columbus, April Ex-senator Han.
mas dominance of the Republican par
ty Of Ohio is supreme. His wishes are
to be obeyed to the letter in the ap-
preaching convention. The party or
gans and the whole party itself bows
in servile submission to his will. Unc.e

ous fashion here Wednesday the
charge laid at his door by the politi-
cal managers of Hon. Albert Douglas,
Of Chillicothe, of dnplicity. II is de-
clared Mr.. Douglas had Hannas per-
sonal word that he would not endorse
any candidate for governor II is also
claimed Hanna said Herrick would not
be a candidate. Subsequent develop
ments moved the Douglas people to al
lege dnplicity on the part Of the sena-
tor.
These things were brought before
the attention Of Senator Hanna here
yesterday, and he denied them in toto.
He said that both Douglas and Sena-
tor Harding had asked him If he had
any preference as to who should be
the Republican nominee for governor
and that he replied that it was any
persons privilege to be candidate
and that he would not take an aggres
sive part in the interest of any can
didate. He also told them Colonel
Herrick would be a candidate and that
the Cuyahoga county delegation would
ne for him. The senator was quite
warm over the raw jabs given him by
the Douglas people and plainly showed
his displeasUre. He denied that h.
sent for Cox and that he made any
deals with him at the memorable Goa
ference. He claimed to be much sur
prised over Cox's announcement for
herrick and others. He admitted he
would have a hard time to overthrow
Johnson In Cuyahoga county.

LOCAL OFFICE
. NOT. AFFECTED
Postal Scandals Which Held Up IN
eIeases II Cleveland VIII
Not be Felt Here. !,
THE EMPaFEs FEEL RELIEVED.

The scandals in the national postal
department may affect the clerks and
distributors at the Canton postonice
who were recently given an increase
in salary. Although Postmaster
Frease does not think there will lie
any investigation Of the Canton office,
some Of the clerks affected are fearful
their new salaries may be held up as
those Of 112 men in Cleveland have
been, pending the announcement OF the
result Of the housecleaning that is now
going on in Washington.
Among the disclosures 1t has been
found that in New York an alleged
promotion ring" existed in which
postal employees by paying Q small
amount Of money might be enrolled.
They would receive from time to time
certain marks for efficiency and their
names were then forwarded to Wash
ington and soon after the men were
given increased pay and promotions.
The investigation shows, II is said that
the postmasters who endorsed the
promotions were guiltless but the ring
extended to higher offlcials of the de-
partment in Washington. With this
discovery came suspicion of every first
and second class office in the country,
and last week general order waa
issued that no increase In salary or
promotion would be allowed until tine
suspicious could be Investigated. In
Cleveland the order affects lI2 men
who were each to receive an increase
of 500. It Ia feared by some of the
Canton clerks who recently were
granted increases that the order will
affect them too, and there is much fear
and trembling.
However, no notification n OF any ac-
tion in this matter has been received
here by the local postal authorities
and in consequence, the clerks and dis
tributors who are likely to be affected
feel relieved and hope that they will
be exempt.

DIVORCE. !. q. ] !
. REGULATIONS
The Presbyterlans Urge
Strict Observance OF
Their Creed,

The rules of the Presbyterian
church with reference to the marrying
Of divorced persons have been little
understood and little observed in the
past, but at the meeting OF the Cleve-
land Presbytery in Cleveland Wednes-
day, the subject was up for discussion
and the attitude of the church was set
forth in the following report, which
received much favorable comment from
the ministers present: " +"
"The Presbytery of Cleveland calls
the attention OF all ministers within
its jurisdiction to the fact that the
Presbyterian church recognizes but two
scriptural grounds for divorce, infidel-
ity and willfur-desertion and that it
sanctions the re-marriage' Of only In
nocent parties who have obtained d.
vorces on, these grounds. a'-6 ~
"The Presbytery therefore enjoins
upon ALI its ministers that they shall
exercise the = utmost care and
most searching inquiry in the
cases of all persons applying to them
for marriage, when such persons are
to them unknown, and It enjoins them
under no circumstances to solemnize
a re-marriage Of any divorced parties
except the innocent party to divorce
obtained on one Of the above grounds.
This injunction, however. shall not
be held to apply to the re-marriage of
such persons, divorced on whatsoever
grounds, who shall desire to be reun-
tied" - .a

Steenson farm, also on the pronosed new possessions of the Chinamen. At all seasons of the year they intend to have fresh green goods ready for the market.
 The Steenson farm contains a large and comfortable house, barns and all the buildings essential to a we'll equipped and modern farm. The farm- CTS have comfortably furnished their new home and leave their acres only when they come to Pittsburgh for SUD- plies. Zip Jew and Chin Juan worked from 3 o'clock a. m. until 10:30 D. m., Sunday, while Claw Soon and Chin Wah looked after the household affairs and the live stock until evening. when they drove to the It. Wayne railroad station and got some farming in1ple- ments that were shipped from the West.
 The Sour Chinamen now own a valuable farm consisting of 1000 acres at Pasadena, Cal This they have oper- ated successfully for several years. Re- gently they learned there was a good opening for special kinds of produce and vegetables in Pittsburg and they i'm meriately started east. Chin Juan is undoubtedly the best-educated Chi naman who ever resided in this com munity. He is about 50 years old and speaks English fuently. .:.-.

have the peculiar and in some cases orthodox methods used by the little almond-eyed fellows to till the soil. The Chinamen, attired in blue pajamas, blouse and sandals, work with all the zeal and perseverance that characterizes the successful farmer of the Flowery Kingdom. Every morning at 2:30 they arise, and at 3 o'clock sharp the faint outlines of the interesting farmers may be seen in the fields from the famous old Perryssville road. They work until 1O.SO every night taking short inter- missions for their meals, which in- cidentally, are sumptuous. According to- the custom in China the new Inhabi- tants of Ross township practically work all night on a bright moonlight night Whether this is superstition cannot be learned by the native blow pushers in Ross township, whose work is from "sun to sum-"
 Yesterday it was said that the Chi namen propose raising certain kinds of vegetables which heretofore have never been produced on Pennsylvania soil. These include most of the differ ent species of radishes, lettuce and turnips peculiar to China and the semi tropical zones. After the arrival of the Chinese farmers from the, West a num- Der of hot-beds will be made on the

farming implements have been pur- chased by the company, and the quartet is now working almost day and night in planting and sowing gardens truck. Every square foot of the big farm, which is considered the most valuable in the picturesque country, will be uti- lized by the Chinamen, and they figure that it will yield them a big crop this year, notwithstanding the fact that it is now too late to plant certain kinds of vegetable seeds.
 On the Steenson farm alone, Juan Claw, who is the financial agent of the company claims that not less than 1000 turkeys, about twice that number of chickens, 800 geese and 250 pairs of ducks will have been raised and ready for the market for the next holiday season. A lot of fine poultry, 30 heads of hogs and 10 milch cows have been placed on the farm, and already some produce has been sent to the markets. Several wagons, in addition to two which have been purchased, will be used by the Mongolians to convey their produce, fruit and vegetables to the city, and every modern method will be intrduced to make the venture a suc- cess.
 The Chinese farm has created intense interest throughout Ross township, as
