known that under his physicians or
ders he kept away from the national
democratic convention at st. Louis and
declined the offer of the chairmanship
of the democratic national committee.
His illness does not show in his per-
sonal appearance His face is full, but
colorless, as it always has been. His
smile is as genial and his manner as
cordial as ever
In needing the advice of his physi-
clan Senator German displays wis
dom that has not characterized some of
his associates in public life in the past
One of his warm friends, although po-
litical opponents. and one of the great
est political leaders OF the last genera
tion was Senator Quay of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Quay was ailing for years
before his death, but was never amen
able to the advice and orders of his
| physicians He ignored their regula-
tions concerning diet, ate heartily OF
forbidden dishes and finally paid the
penalty. Another great political leader
Senator Hanna of Ohio, was almost
equally careless of his health He dis
regarded the doctors advice even up
to the beginning of his last fatal ill
ness.
1t is believed that the example of
Senators Quay and Hanna and other
men in public life, who have succumb-
ed to diseases that might have been
fought off, influences Senator German
in caring for his health. Mr.. German
is in his sixty-eighth year, but well
preserved in mind and body and with
care ought to live many years. He has
always lived temperate life, except
in the expenditure of nervous force anC
physical energy in political work. Now
, that the latter threatens his health hi
is restricting his efforts in the face o
criticism that he is not heartily sup
porting his party's ticket.

pleased me, and when the strike was
broken 10 of the men who had gone
with me on cars through the crowds
asked me to take their names and ad-
, dresses and call upon them again the
next time was mixed up in strike.
| This request showed me that there are
a large number of men always ready
to go q long ways simply to get into

Madden. this sort of matter can be sent
ont in bulk instead of sticking a stamp
on each circular. The whole package
can be weighed and the amount or
postage due paid at the point of trans
mission. In speaking of the new regu-
lation, Mr.. Madden says:
"Of course we will continue TO sell
one-cent stamps and they will have
limited use for mailing merchandise
But nine-tenths OF all one-cent stamps
heretofore sold have been used by busi-
ness firms that send out large quanti-
tes of circulars and which will now pay
the postage due by check. This law
will break up the business of lot OF
Fagins who keep stamp fences in the
large cities. Business men are con-
stantly complaining about thefts OF

messengers who dispose OF them al
reduced rates to crooks. We think the
adoption of the bulk law VIII put
stop to this petty thieving."

the United States minister. Whlle
representative of this government, Mr.
Aliens influence with the Korean gov
ernment is perhaps greater than that
of any other foreigner or any OF the
kings court. AS Japan has practical
suzerainty over Korea, Mr.. Stevens
will virtually be the minister OF state TO
that country. With an American IN
such an influential position and with
such an influential man as Mr. Alien
for minister, it will be strange II the
United States does not receive first
| consideration in all matters of interna-
tional moment.
Mr.. Stevens is one of the most ac-
complished diplomats of Washington
and is probably as we'll posted on great
international questions as any other
man, not excepting Secretary OF state
John Hay. 1t is undoubtedly due to
his wise counsel to the japanese min

Washington changed so materially III
favor of the Japanese when the trouble
between Japan and Russia broke out
He was able skillfully to have the Jap
anese side of the controversy presented
and understood here, and his long eX

abled him to steer his minister and th'
legation attaches clear OF any compro
missing or embarrassing situations. Mr.
Stevens is genial, companionabl'

staunch American and will be abb
without any disloyalty to the govern
ment that engages him to serve the in

ndIlle SOlPS anu
the secretary is desirous that most of
them be filled by western boys. The
appointments will be made by the
middle of November and the presl-
dent agrees with his secretary that the
west is entitled to a big share OF
them.
During the last year there have been
about so appointments of lieutenants
in the marine corps and the naval reg
lister shows that at least seven-eighths
of the appointees came from eastern
states. The majority of them are from
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Virginia and the District Of
Columbia.
Appointments to the marine corps
are now considered very desirable po-
sitions in the navy. Formerly this
branch of the naval service did not
have the standing of the line and en-
gineers. 1t has become exceedingly
popular, however, since its brilliant
achievements in Cuba, the Philippines
and in China. 1t has been greatly in
creased since the breaking out of the
war with Spain and the corps now
embraces something like 5000 men
and officers and will probably be
increased a couple of thousand moro
very soon.
The examinations for appointments
are restricted to persons between the
: ages of 81 and 81 years. A candidate:
personal aptitude and fitness count fol
much, although he must pass physi
) cal and professional test, The latte
/ examination covers such subjects a!
! English grammar, arithmetic, algebra
r geometry, surveying, geography, his
j tory and the constitution. The loves
g position is that of second lieutenant
e in which the salary is 81, 400 year.

Potomac. Soou So
have humorously
heen labeled Joe Miller's Joke Book
He was a great favorite OF President
Cleveland and of all of Cleveland's
intimate advisers. He represents that
element in West Virginia democracy
and it was thought that his character
and political probity would win MIN
tho democratic nomination in his home
district. but those who believe IN more
practical methods than he were sue
cessful. The average West Virginia
politician does not believe in handing
nominations to men ''on silver plat
ters."
When Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Miller
were in Office in Washington they were
boon companions on many a hshlng
trim. The waters of the Potomac above
the capital city are famous for the
small mouth bass. Few of the Potomac
fishermen were better acquainted with
the haunts of this fish than President
Cleveland and Commissioner Miller
and in the spring and fall months
when the fish are biting freely. these
two would slip off quietly, engage ma
tive boatmen and enjoy the sport tC
the fullest extent. There was grea
rivalry among the newspaper CORE
spondents in securing stories oS thes'
! fishing jaunts, but both of the dis
tinguished sportsmen were usually ret
icent as to the size of their catch.
