SENATOR HoAR's RLL-Senate

SENATOR HoAR's BILL.-Senator
Hoar has completed the administra-
ton antitrust BILL 1t will be given
out for publication in full tonight,
and early next week Mr.. Hoar will adj
dress the Senate at length in explana-
ton of his measure. Senator Hoar's

TO SHOW ROUsss LETTERS.

Instead Of writing only business let
tiers in his phonetic manner, the late
Charles Broadway Rouse the eccentric
merchant, was not only prolific, but
ardent and fiowery, according to attor-
neys who have brought suits against the
estate.
In the case of Mrs. Elizabeth S. Cowen,
who has brought suit for 500, $50, which
she asserts is due her under an agree
ment made in 1892, there are several
score of missives alleged to have been
written by him on topics ranging from
business hints to unqualified affection.
They will be offered as evidence by Jacob
Marx, attorney for Mrs. Cowen.
Mrs. Cowen, who followed Edna Weller
Mcclellan, who wants $50 week from
the estate for the rest of her life, was
Elizabeth Slattery, and asserts that she
met Mr.. Rouss at the age OF sixteen,
more than thirty years ago.
In her complaint to which John j.
Rooney, attorney for the executor OF the
Rouss estate, has filed demurrer, she
asserts that her mother was conducting a
store in jersey City and bought goods
from Mr.. Rouss. lie told her he was
unmarried, she has sworn, and after a
short courtship they were married, as
she supposed, at Niagara Falls. She
afierward lived in New York as Mrs. Rouss
and in 1892, when they separated, he
agreed, if she would not bring suit, to
give her $50, 600. She has received,
altogether, slo,75O,d and wants the
balance.
In letters in possession of Mrs.
Cowen, which she says were written by
Mr.. Rouss, there are several references
to third person, sometimes "our
angel" our "little precious" OF this
the attorneys would not speak yester-
day, but added that it would be strong
evidence in the case. One letter of this
series ran as follows
Lizzie : 1t gives me pleasure to see

tracted, and think | am losing my

The note of dependency runs through
many letters. The strongest OF this
kind lirgins "My angel" and after
thanking her for pair OF slippers
which he took home, he continues:
"Whcn YOU receive this, dear girl, /

Postmaster SUED.-A suit was in
stituted in Harrisonburg yesterday that
is attracting great deal of attention,
owing to the prominence of the parties
and the issue involved. Capt. Warren
S. Lurty, who was for years the United
States district attorney for the western
district, and who has on several occas-
ions been candidate before republican
conventions for the nomination for gov
ernor, yesterday had Postmaster A. z.
Funkhouser, of Harrisonburg, sum-
moned before magistrate in an effort
to collect fee of 500, alleged to be
due for services in aiding Mr.. Funk
houser to obtain the Office. Captain
Lurty is a member of the well-known
firm of Ligget & Lurty, Of Harrison
burg. He claims to have in his pos
session letter from Mr.. Funkhouser,
written last winter, in which he re-
quested Captain Lurty to 60 to Wash
ington in his behalf He said that he
was without money and could not pay
him anything unless he secured the
Office, but, that in the event he was sue
cessful, he would pay him $50 or more,
as Captain Lurty might elect. The let
ter went on to say that he was making
fight for reappointment without any
home Endorsement except that of Cap
tain Lurty. There was a heavy fight
against his reappointment, and it was at
that time that the letter was written.
Mr.. Funkhouser appeared yesterday
morning before the magistrate and had
the case removed to the County Court
without trial.

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 2, 1908

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE, after amass
ing millions in furnishing steel pilates
for modern life-destroyers in the shape
of cruisers and battleships and retiring
TO his castle in Scotland, dreams thai
the Millennium is about to be ushered in
and that the time is at hand when war
will cease. He goes off in rhapsody
over the possibilities of The Hague tri
bunal and revels in the delusion that al
international unpleasantries are to be
brought to its bar. In one of his trans
ports of enthusiasm he says:
Today January l, 1909 another
Russian Emperor, Nicholas ii, and
another American President, Roosevelt,
have Jointly pronounced thecoming ban.
ishment of earth's most revolving spec
tacle-human war, the killing of man
by man.
In another of his flights he says;
The complete Punishment of wal
draws near. It's death wound oates from
the day that President Roosevelt led five
opposing powers, four being OF the very
first rank, to adopt arbitration, and thus
proclaimed this mode the appointed sub
stitute for that which had hilbert
stained the earth-the killing of men by
each other. These four rulers must
ever rank among the supreme beneiac'
tors of man.
While all hope for peace can ever
friends read such EXPLANATIONS without
smiling? Mr.. Carnegie, who is nov
patting the dove of peace, amassed his
fortune in manufacturing material fol
the construction of modern destroyers Of
human life. He played an essential
part in placing this country in for
midable shape to dye the waters OF Ma
Mia Bay and the coast of Santiago with
human gore, while the present head Of
the United States government attained
his notoriety-deseryedly or not being a
mooted question-as so-called rough
rider seeking the bubble reputation in
carnage incident to wrestling from q
feeble nation its last remaining Ameri-
can possessions. The yarn John Wise
told on the stump in Alexandria in 1885
about the fox with its mouth full Of
feathers berating all who love geese is
applicable to such worthless.

The VENEZUELAN SITUATION. -
President Castro's reply to the allies
proposition to submit to arbitration was
delivered to the foreign Offices OF the va
rious European governments involved by
the American diplomates at the various
courts. There was condition attached
which does not meet with favor.
In an interview in Caracas President
Castro declared the report that heintend-
ed to resign as nonsense. He stated
that he intended to make a change in
the cabinet when the present serious
trouble was ended.
The arrival at La Guayra of the former
Venezuelan gunboat Sumbador under
the British flag stirred up the resentment
of the Venezuelans.
1t was stated at Caracas that the gov
eminent troops had not been defeated,
as was reported, at Barquisimito, but
were successful and recaptured that
town, as well as San Carlos and Tina
quillo, from the insurgents.

Mr.. GoRMAN.-A dispatch from New
York says: although the present visit
to New York of Senator Arthur p. Cor
man is of a social character, divorced
wholly from politics, number of prom
inent democrats called athi hotel yester-
day for the purpose of comforting on
matters political. Some of these are
friends of eX-Secretary Whitney, some
are financial men close to j. P. Morgan,
and some are close to leader Hugh Nc
Laughlin, of the Kings county organiza-
ton. The visit of those leading demo-
Gratis has led to much talk as to the atti-
tude of the interest represented by Mr..
Morgan toward the denomination of
President Roosevelt The former friends
ex-senator Hill, who have hitherto been
adherents of Mclaughlin, have been
conspicuous among the callers upon the
Maryland Senator This is significant
as an indication of the gradual turning
ofthe New York democracy from Hill to
German and to the adoption of the Mary
laIlutF Us lllt ldfOilIt WI A'CN yin tOt wv
democratic presidential nomination. Sew
era leading politicians Of this State who
have been supposed to be intimates of
David B. Hill called upon the Mary
lander. Mr.. Whitney's friends are
advocates of German as the democratic
presidential candidate, and their calls, of
course, mean that affairs here are begin
ing to take shape. These occurrences
point to the obvious fact that the New
York delegation to the next democratic
national convention will be German
delegation, and that the silent man from
Maryland will have the powerful back
ing of New York State in what is believ-
ed to be his quest for the nomination for
the presidency. Mr.. Gormaa has sail
to friends here that the mention of his
name in connection with the presidential
nomination is absolutely without his au-
thority or sanction"

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is
 toward preventive measures. The best thought Of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that med
 ical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain S Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from cold or from an attack of influenza (grip). and it has been observed til"t this remedy coUntcr2ct cts any tendency Of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully prov cn in mary thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used dur inS the great prevalenece oi colds and Slip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- nOnia often results from a slight cold when TO danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamber laiu's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.
