 Yale's president suggested the Rev
 Henry Upson of New Preston, Litch-
 field county, as the man best fitted in every way to handle boys. Some in- StitutionS have large number of rules impossible to remember, even to those
 who wish to remember them. This institution has been unique in this respect. "The only rule we have here is that we place every boy on his honor to behave like a gentleman" rings in my ears to-day with clear ness that almost makes me think it was spoken but yesterday instead of almost B years ago, and I have no doubt but that it has more than once unconsciously influenced those who were boys of Upson seminary. These boys have come from the northernmost tier of states of this great republic on the north to that island surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic and Car ibbean (Porto Rico) on the south, from the Atlantic on the east to that far away island (Japan) of the Pacific, whose inhabitants to-day are fighting a country notorious for the inhuman treatment of it's people, fighting for their freedom as did our forefathers

 MT Editor: Through the columns of your excellent paper we should be glad to adequately express our thanks to most cOnSiderate kindness and gener- Osity made the 35th anniversary of the beginning of our school most delight full and memorable. "The Boys'' did nobly and are worthy the highest com mendatiOn. Their expressions of re- gard and affection were all that could De desired. The number in attendance was much less than it would. have been had the boarding houses been able to have furnished lodgings and board. But families and nelghbors most kind ly offered lodgings and "rations" were found at our house. To those good people we are thankful. Some young ladies, once day scholars, whose gra- ciOuS presence lent a charm to the oc- caSiOn and whose valuable assistance at the banquet on Saturday, the great day, are to De remembered with grati- tude and pleasure. But of course "the boys" were the objects of chief inter- est. Engaged in private business, of continental dimensions in several in- stances, and in one case travelling a thousand miles to reach us, they made us glad indeed. And it was immensely gratifying to feel the bonds of almost parental and fiiial relation drawing us all together. Beside the strongest and warmest expressions of love, they left us as a token not a measure of their love a purse having in it B ten- dollar gold pieces. That they said was love. And then they added for pocket money hundred more in bank notes and when all promised is re- ceived, the sum will about equal or ex- ceed $500. Vertically . beautiful and substantial thank offering, whose in- trinSic value is increased a thousand fold by the love that prompted 1t. To all those friends we give heart felt thanks. not forgetting the editor of TIE BEE, from whom we hope to hear and see this week.-[Mr and MB Up- sop.

JEW S
VARIOUS AMERICAN CITIES
UPON ARRIVAL HERE.


BERLIN, July 14.-Your correspon-
dent learns that influential Jews here
and in other cities are systematizi1g
the emigration of Jews from Russia
to America. The present emigration
is in accordance with a fixed plan,
but the Jews, as a general thing, drift
to New York as the result of starva-
tion in their European homes.
The project now on foot is to divert
the stream to other American cities.
1t is calculated that by the end of a
year, that is up to September, 1905,
assuming the present rate of emf
grafton, $4,000 Jews will have arrived
in America.
Those in charge of the project plan
to apportien this number as follows:
AT Chicago, 5000; ST. Louis, 5000;
Pittsburg, 5000; Cleveland, $1,000
Cincinnati, 1000; Baltimore, 1000;
Buffalo, 1000: Texas, 5000; Califor-
MIA, 5000, and in South America,
10000.
1t is doubtful if the bulk of the
Jews will be willing to accede to this
plan, as most of them are convinced
that it is New York alone that is
paved with gold.

KIND OF STUFF TED
pY HAS IN HIM

WASHINGTON, y. c.. July b.
The Washington Post independently
prints a story to the effect that in
here the strike of the packing house
employees was connived at by the big
men of the beef trust for the. ,pur-
pose, if possible OF emphasizing the
defeat of President Roosevelt for re-
election. After reviewing the fact
that Attorney General Knox, on order
of the President instituted suit against
alleged packers combine, under the
antitrust law. The Post article con-
tinues: IS e
when the packers learned of the
proposed action of the President it is
believed here that they Immediately
commenced preparations to prevent
his action by precipitatfng a big:
strike and labor agitation on the event
of great national campaign. The:
packers under different circumstances
would have been willing to grant the
demands Of the strikers.
The Post then quotes an unnamed
person whose business takes him to
the big packing houses occasionally;
as follows: 3
81 know that the packers have a
sufficient amount of beef ready for:
shipment to last for at least three
months: They wanted this strike to
force the President to rescind his
proposed action to Immediately press.
the suit against the beef trust. The
leaders of the so-called beef trust
are angry because the administration
picked out the packers for assault,
with the idea Of convincing the people
that there was determined effort
on the part of the administration to
enforce the antitrust law and the In
ter-State Commerce law.

GIVEN TO THE RURAL CARRIER
BoYS-BUT NOT AS MUCH AS
THEY OUGHT TO GET.

The first day of July the rural car
riers from the Fairmont postofice
were put on a different scale of wages.
Previous to that time all of them re-
ceived 5000 per year According to
the laws, 2S miles is considered a
route, and the established salary is
S72O. None of our carriers have
full route and do not receive full
salary. However, by the change they
are all receiving more than hereto
fore. Some of them have hard
routes and all have hard enough
work to deserve the increase. The
following is the list of rural carriers
with their routes and salaries:
J. L. Hall, Route No. /, $500.

/ Senator Charles w. Swisher Re

this afternoon by one of the mosc en-
thusiastic crowds ever seen in Fair
mont. Junkins' band and about 500
people were at the station when the
train arrived. Amid loud and long
cheers the next Secretary Of State
was placed in carriage and followed
the band to the Courthouse, where an
immense crowd had gathered. Cap
tain E. A. Billingslea called for order.
After a short address he introduced
Attorney Harry Shaw, who was fol-
lowed by Attorney E. NJ. Showalter.
Both made excellent addresses and
then Thomas O'Brien, of Wheeling,
whose untiring efforts greatly pro-
noted Swisher:s nomination, was call
ed to the front. In a short speech he
told how his county fought for Swish

the Circuit Court Of Ohio county. is
another Wheeling man 4.wlao waszzso
enthusiastic that he came to this city
with the crowd of delegates who
brought our candidate home. Swisher
himself was called to the stand and
the demonstration was too much for
him to speak his appreciation. All he
could do was thank the citizens for
their loyal support
The Wheeling convention has been
great one for Marion county. Two
candidates, both of whom Will be

preciate it. 1 would like to stand here
talking to you for week, or a month,
but when I tell you I have not closed
