Mr.. Christiancy Leaves Post Office
With Clean Bill.

Postmaster General Payne late yesterday
afternoon accepted the resignation of Mr..
G. A. G. Christiancy as assistant attorney
In the Office of the assistant attorney gen
eral for the Post Office Department. AS
will be seen from the correspondence. Mr..
Christiancy leaves the department at the
close of the investigation without stain
on his reputation. Mr.. Christiancys letter
of resignation. which was addressed to Post
master General Payne, was filed on the 14th
of July and is as follows:
For reasons assigned in the commun ca
ton addressed to you under date OF April
25. 1903 requested to be relieved from the
duties Of the office of assistant attorney
general for the Post Office Department.
Unless investigation of my official acts
has, In your judgment. developed anything
rejecting upon my honesty or integrity. 1
beg herewith to respectfully tender my re-
signation as official Of the Post Office
Department. to take effect at your earliest
convenience.
Il take this step because I feel. and my
physician tells me imperatively, that 1t will
be absolutely impossible for me to under
take desk work for considerable time. For
many months prior to the granting to me
or leave of absence on April % l was con-
tinuing my duties directly against the ad-
vice and protests of my medical advisers.
but. owing to the then prevailing conditions
l did not think could absent myself from
the office.
THE effect of that strain has been accen-
tuated since and has brought a condition
calling absolutely for freedom from sus-
tained labor. In the future as in the past
shall hold myself at the service of the de-
partment for any assistance or information
l can furnish. l beg to express to you my
very earnest appreciation Of the uniform
kindness and courtesy have received from
you.
Mr. Christiancys letter of April 25 was a
vigorous request for sweeping investiga-
ton of his official acts.
The Postmaster General, when he re-
ceived Mr. Christiancy's letter Of July ii,
took no action upon 1t beyond referring it
to Assistant Attorney General Robb, with
request for advice as to the proper course
to pursue.
Mr.. Robbs reply was not made until the
attorney generals office. under General
Tyner, had been completed. His reply was
dated yesterday. and in 1t he says:
THE investigation being completed, now
have the honor to advise you that, in my
judgment, no evidence has been adduced
fmpugning the honesty of Mr. Christiancy,
and that. therefore there is no good reason
why his resignation should not be accept
ed"
Mr.. Payne's letter of acceptance is as fol-
lows:

assistant attorney general for the Post
Ofice Department, rendered on July IA.

CALL FROM ELLA COOK. ,

Board of Charities Hustled to Get a
 Physician Out to Her Home
 There was great excitement about the City hall building this morning and for time it was hard to find out what was up. The superintendent of the board of charities and the city phy- sician were seen running this way and that way and finally they jumped into team and headed down West Main street at top speed. The commotion was the result of 8 hurried call from Ella Cook, who conducts boarding house on the Thomaston turnpike just at the spot that marks the parting of the ways between Waterbury and Thomaston, that a young woman in the house had been taken suddenly i'll and that her condition was such as to wGrrant immediate attention on-the part of a physician. When MT Doran and the physician got there they saw that while the woman needed medical care there was nothing really urgent about it, and after giving the case the attention it required they wended their way homeward satisfied that the situ- ation was not as bad as they had been led to believe.

CHILDREN's ROOM READY.

Bronson Library Threw Open It's
 Doors This Afternoon.
 The children's room at the Bron- son library was opened for the first time this afternoon in two weeks. During that time it has been closed for repairs and redecorating. The walls have been tinted two shades of cream by the Lapalme- Hoffman Go. The bookcases were painted dark shade of green which furnishes an attractive background for the bright bindings of tbe books. An oak desk and railing have been built, adding much to the neat appearance oe the room and the convenience of service. Some fine photographs decorate the walls. They include photographs of the two ia nous studies Of lions by Lanciers, a large Venetian landscape, beautiful Madonna by Raphael, and, the stair way of the ducal palace at Florence, which is noted for it's beauty of arclli- lecture and design. The room has been refurnished with small low tables and chairs adapted for the little folks This room is one of the prettiest and most attractive in the library.

TWO TON BOULDER
Placed in Position on the Li-
 brary Property

Deep Glacial Markings Make the
 Boulder Very Valuable-It Was Dis
 covered Some Time Ago on the Hills
 Near Cottage Park-An Examina-
 tion by Several Experts Resulted in
 It's Being Presented to the Library.
 The Bronson library has been pre- scented with a unique gift in the nature of huge boulder weighing about two tons and a half. Dr Walter +. Hinck- ley has been instrumental in thus en- riching the library. For the past three years Dr Hinckley has been much in- terested in the study of geology. Last summer while standing at the trolley station at Cottage park, he noticed large boulder with deep glacial mark ings ill it showing very plainly The doctor consulted Judge Gillette and both agreed that it was an unusually good specimen of it's kind and decided it ought to be presented to the library. R. N. Blakeslee kindlys consented to remove it to the library grounds and the gift was accepted by the board of trustees. It was placed in position to- day near the@porch at the entrance to the library. In the opinion of Dr Hinckley, the boulder was formerly a projecting spur on a hillside and was subjected to glacial action on both sides. The grooves on the side facing the west are very deep, while those on the reverse side show the parallel scratches in large numbers. Geoio- gists differ as to the exact date of the glacial period. In the opinion of Dr Hinckley this boulder must have been marked about 1000 years ago at the time when the entire surface of Con- necticut was covered with moving masses of ice.

A NICCER IN THE WOOD PILEv

cost of hauling it long distances And. by the way, it might just as well be stated right here that a few years hence the cost of repairing dirt roads will be almost as expensive as brick pavement, for the reason that material will soon have to be bought and carted from the rural districts and when that day comes, and it is not far off, the cost of repairing the streets will be more than twice what it is at the pres ent time. These are proper subjects for discussion, but they should be dealt with above board. There is no reason in the world why a man who knows or thinks he knows where an improve ment can be made or where something is going wrong should be afraid to say so over his own name. Insinua-s tions from this one and that one that there are nothing back of, hinder rath- CT than help matters and such things are of such frequent occurrence that the truth is, hardly recognized so that even if the man aimed Aat were guilty he could afford to dispose of it witH the remark that this was more hot shot from
 the crank. Probably the public would lose nothing by little criticism of the right kind of public officials from time to time, but it is safe to state that it gains nothing from the sort it
 usually gets, because it is prompted by
 selfish motives and we all know what effect ons1aughts of that character some disgruntled fellow who had an
 axe to grind and was getting square
 with everybody who refused to turn
 have upon. the public mind.

Hlgh School Rooms and Offices Are All
 Renovated
 f. The high school building is in fine condition and is all ready for the open ing of the fall term on next. Tuesday. During the past two months Janitor Kelly and his assistant, Mrs Kate Ryan, have been very busy in putting the various rooms in proper shape and now the entire school, that is the in- terior, looks almost as good as the day it was built. After the floors had been we'll scrubbed they were given two coats of oil and they are certainly in fine condition. The desks and all the furniture were revarnished and they look pretty in their new garb. All the seats and furniture in the assembly hall were re vanished and now the hall looks the prettiest in the city. One of the cosiest places in the build ing is Principal Wilby's office. An agreeable surprise awaits the principal on his return. Superintendent rink CTS and School Clerk Fitzgerald's of fees have also beenf fixed up nicely. All the walls throughout the school were kalsomined while those in the of- fees, were painted. Te janitor and his assistant have certainly not spent their labor in vain.

SULTAN OF TURKEY TALKS
Made 8 Speech to Heads of Re-
 ligious Communities

His Desire for the Welfare of the Peo-
 pie Irrespective of Race or Creed
 He Called on God to Witness the
 Sincerity of His. Declaration.
 Constantinople, Sept 3.-On the an- niversary of his ascension, Tuesday, the sultan received in audience at the palace the heads of the religious con- mittees and the ecumenical patriarch made speech of congratulations. In reply thereto, his majesty contrary to precedent, spoke at some length, say ing:
 All my desire is for the welfare of the population, without distinction of race or religion. As to the detestable and regrettable deeds to which the patriarch alluded I am convinced that the movement does not proceed spon- taneously from the population, but, is instigated from abroad. I hope the measures taken will insure tranquility. I call God to witness the sincerity of my declaration and that all my asp1ra- tions and work are for the welfare and prosperity of all my subjects"
 Turning then to the Bulgarian ex- arch, the sultan bade him communicate his words to his focks.
 Next, addressing the Greek patri- arch, the sultan said he regretted that the Greek population had also suffered from the recent troubles and declared he would be pleased to contribute to the subscriptions being raised in the patriarcate ill behalf of the sufferers.
 His majesty further remarked that he was sorry that some of the soldiers had been guilty of acts contrary to his orders and desires.
 The sultan personally assured Mon signor Ormanian, the Armenian patri- arch that his words applied to the Ar menians as well as to the people of other nationalities. ,
 The porte's note of warning to the embassies and legations Gnforming them that, according to police informa- ton, the Bulgarian agitators were pro- tecting outrages against the embas- sies, legations and public buildings in Constantinople, saying the Ottoman government had taken precautions. and requesting the heads of the foreign missions to do likewise) was issued in consequence of the receipt at the Rus sian embassy of an anonymous letter threatening outrages at the winter res idences of the Russian ambassador and consul general.

PUBLIC BENEFAcToR.
The oskaIoosa Herald Considers
Prof. Arnold optIcIan, Gentle
man and PhIIanthropist.

Whoever benefits eyes is in every
sense of the word comforting BEN
efieence upon the public. That Prof.
Arnold during his stay of more than
eleven months in Oskaloosa hae
given his patrons eyes the advan-
tage of great technical skill and also
rigid honesty, is as abundantly pro :.
ven as the presence of the sun at
MONDAY.
We assume the above will be con-
coded by all fair-minded men. No
one could remain in Oskaloosa eleven
months, doing the extensive bust
ness done by the professor, and
not be detected, if bungler
or if guilty of fraudulent practice.
Professor Arnold can also be cred
tied with generosity, from the
fact that during his entire stay here
he has given glasses to the poor Fri
day forenoon Of each week. This he
will continue to do. He does not
practice medicine but simply adver-
tises as skillful optician, and that
is all he claims to be. The old adage
Jack of all trades and master of
none" does not apply to Prof. Arnold
as he has devoted his entire life to
the Improvement of impaired eyes.
Now there Is little wonder that after
an experience OF fifty years in the adj
iustment of glasses the professor
should be possessed Of a phenomenal
skill In that one speciality. He would
certainly be great blockhead If he
were not,
He has also the laudRble ambition
to expend thousands OF dollars in fine
appliances and that devotion to his
profession which prompts him to
seek for and avail himself of all i'm
proyements, which the progress of
scientific discovery has brought to
light. Thus prepared he Ia able to
meet and overcome difficulties In the
restoration of vision by the use OF
means which few, il any, in his pro-
fession can command. The profess
or's Office is just across the street
north OF Spencer's Wholesale grocery
building, and he extends his time in
Oskaloosa till Jan. /. The Herald
cordially endorses Prof. Arnold's
claims, as his splendid work OF eleven
months and the unstinted praise of
his patrons justify us in so doing.
Give him trial. You will not be
disappointed.
Prof. Arnold has the only optical
store In Oskaloosa where glasses are
fitted to the eyes on scientific princi-
Piles with modern Instruments.
