Representative Dick said that
he had not received the challenge
before leaving Ohio and that he
could not discuss it until he had

frankly that, were he in Senator

There have been no startling de-
velopments in the post Office inves-
tigation during the past week, al
though some important indictments
are expected in the near future, one
of them TO involve State Senator
Green again for completely with
Beavers in inducing the government
to purchase stamp eancelling ma
chimes from the Doremus Cancelling
Machine Company of which Green
is an officer. Green has been MAX
violent resistance to the efforts of
the government to place him under
bail to appear in Washington for
trial and it is possible that the gov
ernment will have to resort to the
same, or similar tactics, TO those en-
ployed in the case of Beavers. The
United States commissioner, Hall,
who is an appointee of Judge Ray,
is inclined to release Green unless
the United States presents its entire
case in the Binghampton court. In
that event the Department of Justice
will probably permit Green to be
set free but will hold the indictment
over his head and arrest him the
first time he sets foot outside of the
Binghampton jurisdiction.

An Old Coin

While digging in Plum Alley,
adjoining his lots on Fourth street, a
few days ago, F. f. White unearthed
an old English penny Of the time Of
George III. 1t bears the inscription
Georgius III Rex d. G. 1906. The
coin was found about a foot beneath
the surface and may have lain there
since the early settlement Of the town.
It is rare now and Of considerable
value as an antique.

institution and entered the Blooms

that the reason for this action arose
over some difficulty last spring when
a green flag was raised st. Patrick's s
day which was replaced with an
American flag by other students
The alleged affront to the Hibernian
element was never satisfactorily ap-
peased, hence the departure.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

An extremely difficult problem
confronts the president, who return
ed TO the White House Monday, and
who will Immediately take up the
case Of William Miller and the whole
question of reforms in the Govern
ment Printing Office. No official
statement has been made thus far,
but the situation may be summar.
lied as follows, with reasonable ao-
curacy: The discharge of Miller,
followed by his reinstatement by the
president, has already been told in
these letters. Out of that incident
grew the investigation recently COM
pleted. Miller sent a long letter to
the president in which he made
various charges as to the domination
of the printing Office by the unions,
the extravagant methods employed,
etc. These charges caused the
president to ask Secretary Cortelyou
to investigate the entire printing
Office and Mr.. Cortelyou assigned
the task to Commissioner General
of immigration Sargent. and Chief
of Corporations Garfield. Their re-
port, which now in the hands Of
the president, substantiates many
of Miller's charges and points the
way to reforms which promise to
save the government thousands of
dollars a year. Meanwhile, the
Bookbinder's Union has secured the
past record of Miller and has filed
many charges against his private
life. Sargent and Garfield also
found that Miller was Of quarrel
some disposition, pictorial and arbi-
tary, and a man who, in the position
of foreman, caused friction and dis
satisfaction. In a word, he is a man
i'll fitted to manage men, quite ir-
respective of the union factor in the
situation. There Is little doubt, that,
under ordinary circumstances, Miller
would bs promptly discharged. On
the other hand, there likely to ensue
extensive and radical reforms as a
result of Millers having brought the
matter TO the attention of the presi-
dent, and his interest in his work
and in economical administration
will secure for him more than ordin-
ary consideration by the president.
Again, the charges preferred by the
union are so serious that it will be
almost impossible for the president
to ignore them. In fact it is gener-
ally believed that they will compel
the president to discharge Miller for
the good of the public service, but
from whatever standpoint he looks
at it Mr.. Roosevelt is bound to find
the situation perplexing,

and farm papers. and yet no two writ

our 500 breeders in winter and house
our ducklings to marketable age. Our
duck houses are built single wall Z

weeks OF age In special duck brooder
house, with window every feet OF
side. Ducks for market are sold al
10 weeks old; those kept for breeders
arc not turned out from the broodeT
house for the lake of water until Ic
weeks old. They must then have
shade and light protection from tn.
heavy rains. A duck brooder house
should be built warm. while a hous"
for breeding ducks need not be so, a.
