WESTERN UNION TO RAE POLES.
End of War With Pennsylvania Road
Over Wires,

A dispatch from Philadelphia says: With
the aid Of Pennsylvania railroad Iocomo-
tives and construction trains, the Western
Union Telegraph Company will begin today
the work Of removing fits poles and wires
that still remain along the railroad conf
pany's right Of way. This job will be taken
up peacefully just where 1t was left of
nearly three years ago by the axe brigade
which President Cassatt hurled at George
]. Gould.
There will be no wholesale and indiscrir-
mate destruction OF property now, as there
was on May 81, 1902 Then. with swift
strokes delivered simultaneously in four
states, 1.5O0 miles OF telegraph line were
put out of business. 1900 miles of wire
were grounded. 6o.0OO poles were chopped
down. and $75o.0o0 worth of Western Union
property virtually wiped out by the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Removal OF remaining Western Union tel
egraph property from the Pennsylvania rail-
road lines east Of Pittsburg is undertaken
In accordance with the decision OF the
United States Supreme Court which was
handed down December IL, sustaining the
position and action OF the railroad.
The Western Union will begin the work
OF removal at two points. One gang Of
men. working with locomotive and train
furnished by the Pennsylvania railroad.
WILL start on the Maryland division and
work south from Philadelphia.
Another similar gang and work. train
will undertake the work OF removing the
Western Union property along the New
York line, starting at Jersey City and
proceeding west to Trenton.
The Pennsylvania railroad Western Union
fight grew out OF inability OF the two M
terests to agree upon terms for a renewal
Of the old twenty-year contract. Feeling
against the Gould interests. which had de-
yeloped their purpose to extend their rail-
road system into Pennsylvania territory.
caused the difference to widen into breach.

This break would be an utter impossibility
were 1t not for the all-over decoration on
the fllet mesh.
Starting below the hips. about midway to
the bend of the knees, the lace is incrusted
with large punches of pearl grapes and sill
ver-embroidered leaves. While these pat
terms follow no particular form or group
Ing, they have~a general dropping toward
the front. The punches serve to conceal
the fullness Of long widths Of lace. which
are carefully wrought in with the body or
the gown and spread at the foot in fan
shaped pIeatings. AS they are inserted at
various points, they are of unequal length,
and they have even less Of an appearance
of planned effect than If they had the same
given starting line.
The upper part of the skirt is deiicateiy
embroidered In vines and leaves of silver.
and each bit of fiounce has, besides
heavily wrought border of silver and bar
oques. sprays of tiny pearl grapes. Around
the bottom the design becomes even thicker

NEWSBOYS' MAGAZINE.
Mr.. Roosevelt Withdraws His Name
From Its Support.

&AV4A At0 SApPo4t.
President Roosevelt has withdrawn a let
ter he wrote last March extending to the
American Newsboys' Magazine his wishes
for its success. The withdrawal of the
Presidents letter was announced In the
form Of a letter which he wrote on the 7th
instant to Murat Halstead, who was the
president of the company which is to pub
lish the magazine
The President. in addition to authorizing
the publication Of the correspondence, took
steps to insure the withdrawal of his letter
of last March In conclusion. the state
ment issued at the White House says:
I'm making this correspondence public
there is no purpose to reflect upon the In
tegrity of Col. Stealey. Mr.. Halstead Or Mr.
Richardson, who were at one time or al
other connected as officers Of the company.
They evidently endeavored in good faith
to cause 1t to carry out its original pur-
pose"
Mr.. Halstead. who called on the Presi-
dent at the White House, issued STAGE
ment. in which he says:
my business here was to give the Presi
dent information of the misuse of his name
in company advertised as a scheme Of
philanthropy. My reason for this was that
my name had been abused In the same con-
nection.
"The President had found out the often
sive facts, and today announces that the
use In any form of his name or that of
cabinet officer by the American Newsboy
Company Is forbidden
C. T. Richardson. the secretary and treas
urer OF the company. protested against
some of the methods of the concern and In
a statement issued today says he was de-
posed from Office. He retains however the
books. papers and funds Of the company
and adds that he already has taken steps to
protect those who have paid for their
stock.
Mr.. Stealey resigned the presidency of
the company last October. basing his res;g-
nation on the ground that he could not
agree with the way the business of the
company was being transacted. Mr.. SteaIey
received no compensation for his services
and returned all the stock voted to him by
the company. when 1t was originally
formed.
The stockholders Of the American News
boys Company held a meeting here yester-
day. at which Charles A. Edwards was
elected president. vice Mr.. Haistead. re-
signed. and II. x. Holmes. e. r. Johnston
and Charles A. Edwards. members of the

ed secretary and treasurer In place Of Mr..
