Boys Kill Eagle with Bat.

A bald eagle measuring 81 feet from
tip to tip of the wings was killed Satur-
day in Vailsbug,N N. j., by Felix and
Edwin Ritters. aged, respectively, II and
10 years. The boys were crossing the
field with their dog short distance from
their home when the eagle swooped down
on the dog and attempted to carry it of.
Edwin ran to the rescue and seized the
eagle by the neck. The big bird fought
desperately, tearing the lads clothing
into tatters with its talons, but he held
it fast until his brother killed it with a
baseball bat.

Letter to Rev. j. II. EweII.


Dear Sir: I'm making pastoral visits, OF
course. you do not consider your pleasure or
comfort or ease. you 90 where your people
live. But you have two sets of feelings in
going about--can't help it-for part Of your
business is sympathy. Well-kept lawns and
well-tilled fields, nice homes and nice people,
are cheerful to you, as they are to everyone.
Tumbledown buildings, poor fences, men har-
raised by burdens too heavy for them, over
worked women, and dirty-faced children, you
may be strong to get on with: but you would
be more than human TO find inspiration in
misery.
Paint divides the two sorts Of people, one
paints, and the other don't. Or, perhaps. the
thrifty paint we'll: the unthrifty paint III.
To paint well IS to keep paint sound. There
are two ways to do il; one is bound to paint
often; the other to use good paint.
1t costs about half as much TO paint Deyoe
as to paint with any other paint for Devoe
takes fewer gallons than mixed paints and
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
The thrifty and comfortable have the art
Of using money more wisely. How lucky
they arel how happy
Yours truly,

today. The President wrote letter on
the subject to the editor of Fulton county
Illinois, who was one OF those who ad-
vocated Rooseyelfs denomination In
1908. In this letter be declared that his
determination to retire was final as he
considered the seven years Of his service
to be equivalent to two full terms, more
than which no man should occupy the
presidency.
A number of important cases will be
heard by the Supreme Court OF the
United States at the fall term which be-
gins next month. Among these is one
involving the title to the Isle of Pines,
of Cuba. The suit was brought by Ed
ward j. Pearcy against former Collector
Stranahan of the Port of New York, and
comes to the Supreme Court from the
southern district of New York. Pearcy
objected to the payment of the customs
duties on 40 boxes Of cigars maniac
tured in the Isle of Pines, on the ground
that the island was in the possession OF
the United States and that the cigars
therefore were not duiiable. Under the
"Platt amendment" which was at
tached to the constitution OF Cuba as an
appendix, the Isle of Pines was excluded
from the boundaries of Cuba and its
future status left to treaty arrangements
between CUBA and the United States
which have not as yet been effected.
Attorney General Moody expects to
argue the case on behalf of the govern
ment, as also the rehearing of the Phil
lipine tariff Cases, which will come up
in the October term. The cases of John
w. Ballman, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
refused to answer questions before the
grand jury there on the ground that he
was protected by the constitution from
testimony that might tend to incriminate
himself, will be heard by the court on
writ of error. Two case, from New
York city, in which the point at issue is
identical with this, will also be argued.
They are those of Edward f. Hale and
w. H. McAllister against U. S. Marshal
Hinkle. They declined to give testimony
IN the trust inquiry DcihB OOuuuNtVu
in that city. 1t is understood that the
motion to advance these cases for speedy
action will be made early and will be
granted. The case ofex-Senator George
f. Green, indicted with G. w. Beavers,
for completely in the postal frauds in
connection with the Bundy time clock
contract, will be he heard on appeal.
Green contests the right of the govern
meEt to bring him to Washington for
trial. The questions involved are al
most on all TOURS with those in the case
of Beavers, who fought extradition but
lost. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. con-
victed in the United States courts there
for alleged participation in land frauds
has carried his case to the Supreme Court
of the United States and will have a
hearing some time this fall. The papers
arrived last week and we're placed on file
by the clerk.
The Kenilworth poolroom cases will
be tried at Upper Marlboro, Prince
George county, Nd, October 9.

SODriety i'm business

"The business and social life of the
great city of New York is turning to
| esr and soft drinks" said Charles II.
Treat, United States treasurer, when
the subject came up of the experiment
of the Subway Tavern. "As collector
of internal revenue in the Wall tsrett
district of the city and in the clubs of
which / am a member | observed the
same tendency. If you should walk
into some of the great political aud
social clubs of New York today,
organizations composed of the best
business and professional men OF
the city, seveuly-tive per cent. of those
sitting around the tables would be drink
ing soft drinks, in which include beer
as the foremost. Even wines are being
used in decreasing quantities. This is
because wines often contain much more
alcohol than is good for the consumer.
My long experience as a collector OF in
ternal revenue taught me that the forth
fication and blending Of wines often re-
suited in a mighty strong drink. 1t is
we'll known that wines are nearly always
fortified with alcohol. Wine dealers
blend their different varieties, resulting
in another mixture of alcohol. The
consequence is that the alcoholic strength
is variable.
'Tn these days of strict business re-
quirement in a great city, men become
temperate because of actual necessity.
They still desire something that is gent
ly stimulating and meets the wants OF
partnership. There is no question
that they are turning largely to beer,
settler, and such drinks. Less than one
fourth of those noticed in big club are
taking whisky. When there was an
exposure year or so ago of the use OF
wood alcohol in a number of saloons in
in place of whisky, resulting in the
death of several men, noticed in my
own club still greater tendency to leave
whisky off and substitute beer, the
purity of which is, as a rule, unqles-
toned.
'The giant railroad companies, the
immense business interests ofthe country
of all sorts, are beginning TO exact from
their employees strict pledge to avoid
distilled liquors, but these great concerns
recognize the demand of human nature
for stimulant, and most of them do not
prohibit beer and the mild drinks. The
rule is good one, in my opinion. have
lost tens of thousands of dollars oy the
inebriety of brilliant men whose talents
in certain lines made them almost indis-
pensable TO me. Yet, as | grow older,
| become stricter in wanting to know
the personal habits of man. If he
drinks whisky ] would not employ him
at any price. II he drinks beer in mod
Grafton, or other soft drinks, would re-
gard him as temperate and unobjection-
able. Such is the almost universal rule
Of business men of prominence. That
accounts more largely for the increasing
of the United States than
all the laws ever made"

THE Ohio republican State campaign
was opened at BellefOntaine Saturday in
a manner that was little short of sensa-
tional. Senator Foraker, who has for
four years been recognized as the ROose-
welt leader in the State, and who has
contested with Senator Dick, and before
him with Senator Hanna, for control OF
the machine, was one of the speaker.
In an address Mr.. Foraker fatty re-
pudiated President ROOsevelt's pre-
gramme for legislation by Congress CIV
ing the federal government power to fix
aud regulate railroad rates. Speaking
with Senator Foraker from the same
platform were Vice President Fairbanks
and Governor Herrick. The former up
held the Presidents plan for rate regu-
lation legislation, saying that Congress
will certainly take up and decide this
question, and he also declared that Con-
gress will not overlook the necessity for
tariff revision. Gov. Herrick was equal
ly emphatic, asserting that Ohio repub-
licans stand for everything Mr.. ROose-
welt favors. There is good deal Of the
cookoo about the governors speech,
but it is interesting to democrats TO see
that there are stand patters and anti
stand patters in Ohio.

Attemnt TO Break Jail.
The notorious Hack Lahey gang MAJ

The notorious Hack Lahey gang made
second attempt to escape from the
Somerset county, N. j., Jail by blowing
out the wall in the corridor Of the Jail
with dynamite at $50 yesterday even
ing. William Moore, special Waterman,
was patroiling outside of the Jail at the
time of the explosion An aperture
four feet square suddenly opened 10 the
three-foot brick wall of the prison d.
rectly above Moore's head. He was so
close TO the wall that the great mass of
brick and debris blown from the walls
passed over his head and was scattered
for distance of 100 feet about the Jail
yard.
An instant after the explosion, Hack
Lahey and two of his companions crowd
ed partly through the hole in the wall
and looked down into Moore's revolver.
Moore fired at the first head that came
through the wall, and the three priso-
ners hastily drew back and dropped to
the floor of the corridor unipjured. The
prisoners have since been kept 10 close
confinement, and were allowed only the
freedom of the corridor for thirty min
utes in the evening. 1t was during their
freedom in the corridor last night that
the explosion occurred. 1t is believed
that the explosive was probably carried
into the Jail by tramps who have been

For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies. and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,.
