An Officer Reprimanded.

Capt. John NJ. Morgan. 18th Cavalry, was
recently tried by a court-martial at Manila,
P. l., on the charge of conduct to the
prejudice of good order and military disci-
pine" in that he failed to comply, so 1t was
alleged, with a portion of written gen
eral order which directed that his troop
stables at Batangas be thoroughly policed
before departure.
Capt. Morgan was found guilty of the
charge and first specification, and not
guilty of the second specification, and SEN
fenced Ito be reprimanded by the depart
ment commander" Reviewing the case,
Gen. Randall says: THE proceedings, find
ings to the first specification and charge
and sentence are approved. The finding TO
the second specification is disapproved. 1t is
not understood how court of high ranking
officers could arrive at its conclusion in con-
doning the Offense, as charged in the sec
ond specihcatio without evidence to sus-
tain its action. The findings of guilty I'M
der the first specifications and charge and
the publication of the sentence in general
orders is regarded as sufficient reprimand."

The thirty-second annual session OF Wes-
ley Grove camp meeting was opened here
last Friday with special services under the

the grounds, and Bishop A. w. Wilson Of
Baltimore and Bishop Warren A. Gambler
of Atlanta, Ga, are here.
The opening sermon was preached by

quite a large congregation listened to an
eloquent sermon from Bishop Gambler.
The Rev. Mr.. Stevens of Calvary Church,
Baltimore, preached at the o'clock serv-
ice. Bishop Gambler will preach again to-
night at o'clock.
Perhaps the most important day of the

DEMOCRATS GATHER
ARRIVING IN NEW YORK FOR Ma
TIONAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
Indications Point to Taggart's Selec-
ton as Chairman-Gorman,
Sheehan and Belmont.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Democrats from
all parts of the country are arriving in
New York today to attend the meeting of
the national committee tomorrow. Not
only members of the committee. but other
well-known democrats are now here or will
be in attendance tomorrow.
Among the more prominent who arrived
early today are Senator Daniel OF Vir-
ginia, who was chairman of the committee
on platform at st. Louis: John P. Hopkins
Of Illinois; James M. Griggs Of Georgia.
who was chairman of the congressional
campaign committee two years ago; H. D.
Clayton Of Alabama, and ]. Taylor Ely
son of Virginia. the two latter being men,
bers of the national committee.
No Doubt Over TaggaIt's Selection.
No doubt is expressed among members
of the committee about the election OF
Thomas Taggart as chairman. 1t Is said
that If Judge Parker intended to express
a preference for some other man he would
have made it known before this time, and
before 1t became 80 apparent that the &C
ton of the committee at st. Louis was
to be indorsed.
Indiana Is represented here by a half
dozen prominent democrats. who are work
ing for Taggart. They are John w. Kern,
Joseph E. Bell, John E. Lamb, VIM. H.
O'Brien and Joseph T. Tanning.
There is a suggestion today that after
Taggart is elected the finance committee,
and August Belmont will be members, will
be named, and that these gentlemen will
have management of the campaign in the
eastern states.

WILL BE EXCLUDED
FOREIGN MUSICIANS MAY NOT
TAKE PLACES OF AMERICANS.
Secretary Metcalf Says He Has Nc
Evidence That the Law Has
Been Violated.

The old question of foreign musicians
coming to the United States to take the
places of American musicians is again be-
fore the Department of Commerce and La
Dor.
Early last week Messrs j. NJ Weber,
president of the International Federation OF
Musicians, and Maurice F. Smith, president
of the New York City Musicians Associa-
ton, called on President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay by appointment They presented
to the President a protest against foreign
musicians, under contract to play in this
country in the theaters and other places,
being being allowed to land from the steam
ers: because they claimed such musicians
were violating the immigration laws.
President Roosevelt promised the officers
of the musicians associations that he would
take the matter under consideration and
that he would refer the complaint to the
Secretary Of Commerce and Labor. This
he did.
Secretary Metcalf of the Department of
Commerce and Labor today made the fol-
loving statement in regard to the matter:
THE immigration law is being rigfdly
and conscientiOusly enforced. No evidence
of any violation of the law has at any time
been submitted to the bureau of immigra-
ton by the musical unions. If it should APP
pear that musicians are being imported to
take the places of American musicians as
a result of the refusals of the latter to
work at reduced compensation the admin
istrative officer will at once apply the law.
THE immigration officers are men OF In
telligence and good judgment, and have
been fully and carefully instructed as to
their duties under the law. AS precau-
tionary measure the commissioner general
of immigration has issued instructions to
immigration officers to question all must
clans coming to this country for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining whether they come
here under contract for the purpose of TAX
ing the places of American musicians. II
any such are found the department will un-
doubtedly hold, in accordance with past pre-
cedents, that they are here in violation Of
the law. leaving it to the courts to ulti-
mately decide whether they come under the
eycepfed classes

FAIR FOLKS
DON'T BLAME NATURE. BUT INyEsr1cAr

Many claim they are nervous by nature" when
is really only because they slaves to the
coffee or tea habit. and this is easily proved BY
cutting out the coffee or tea for 10 days and usinv
well boiled Postum Food Coffee instead-tben comes
the change
II seemed endowed by nature with n peryous
constitution, says a lady Of Knoxville Tenn
ana although felt tea and coffee were bad for
me the force Of habit was strong Just couldn T
give them up
some one suggested that l try cereal coffee
ou, remembered what insipid drinks we used
under that name during the civil war and 40
without looking into the subject or REALISM.
what progress science has made in this direction
just wouldn't give Postum a trial until finally
the W. u L. U. In our city started exchange
where there were 30 many calls for Postum II was
served regularly and many thus Induced TO try
H. myself among the number. How delighted
was TO ind II agreeable, delicious and satisfy
INK. As ! had suffered from nervous prostration
change from tea and coffee was imperative but
all these troubles disappeared after 1 had used
the Postum faithfully for a few weeks.
"A sister and son-in-law were converted to
Postum at the same time and now We all enjoy
II well az we ever did coffee but instead of
making nervous like coffee We enjoy steady
nerves. sleep sound and are In every way better
for the change Name given by Postum Co,
Battle Greek. Mich
This lady found what she thought natural
nervousness was only due to acquired taste for
coffee that Is to some people a sure destroyer Of
nerves and health. Like her. any one who cuts
or coffee altogether and uses well-boiied Postum
days and the return to health Is joyful journey.
There's a reason
Look In each package for the famous little book,
The Road 70 Wellville."

neer Of the engine drawing the train to
