Letter to George Crockett.
Accomac, Va.


Dear Sir: You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on
condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying this
point. The stock claim of lyingpaints
is 300 square feet, two coats. It's
lie, as rule.
Deyoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think. We think 300 too low, and 800
too high; though doubtless they ootn
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 4oo'
The truth is found in another COM
parison. Devoe is allpaint, true paint,
strong paint, and full-measure; the
Others in general are, at the BEST
diluted, adulterated and short-measure'
They cover according to body and
measure. You can't paint with clay
lime chalk sand barytes water or all
mo body in them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co.
New York.

In nemorlam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF
our son and brother, Benz. W: Lingo
who departed this life May %, 1904
one year ago. Gone but not forgotten
Hour by hour we saw him fade
And fast he sank away,
Yet in our hearts we prayed
That he might longer stay, -.
We were weeping round his pillow,
For we knew that he must die:
It was night within our bosoms,
1t was bright within the sky,
We have given loves last token,
We have parted back his hair
From off his marble forehead,
And left the last kiss there.
Our loving one, thy calm features
Plainly tell us all is well,
Yet it pains our heart to leave you
And say the last farewell,
By his mother and brother.
Baltimore, May %, 1905.

JUSTICE FULLER

Aged JuriSt is Now II Years DID,.
Taft May be Appointed
Chief Justice

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 16.-Ru-
mors regarding the possible retirement
of Chief Justice Fuller were set afloat
again last week when it became known
that Saturday was the seventy-secm
birthday of the chief justice and the
age at which he becomes eligible for
retirement from the supreme bench and
enjoy a salary of ST, 500 a year as long
as he lives. Those who pretend to
have inside information declare that
Justice Fuller will resign his Office
next month, or Immediately after he
has administered the oath of office to
President Roosevelt. It is reported by
the same persons to be the presidents
plan to offer the post Of chief justice
to Secretary Taft.
President Roosevelt would have ap-
bench two years ago, but Mr.. Taft, then
civil governor of the Philippines. de-
cided not to abandon his responsible
work in the islands. Should he assume
the chief justiceship. he would be
| eliminated from consideration as a pos
sible presidential candidate four years
from now.
Should Chief Justice Fuller resign as
reported. he will establish a precedent,
as no chief justice Of the supreme court
has ever resigned before. All have died
on the bench. The resignation Of Just
ice Fuller would likewise remove a most
interesting figure from Washington Of

of the events Immediately preceding
and during yesterdays outbreak as
viewed by official eyes. is given in
the official Messenger as follows:
"All attempts of the factory inspec-
tors to pacify the workmen were
fruitless. and every worker of the
large factories joined in the strike.
which spread quickly and extended
to nearly all the works in the city
At the same time the demands of the
men were increased, and these were
formulated in writing, mostly by Fa-
ther Gopon The employers discussed
the demands and decided that if some
of them were satisfied it could not
fail to ruin the industry while others
deserved to be examined and partially
conceded Furthermore a willingness
was expressed TO negotiate with the
men individually but not with the
strikers organization The workmen
refused to agree to it and violated
the negotiations between masters
and men of different factories. AS
the strike was being conducted with
out disturbance of public order, no
repressive measures we've adopted.
and not a single person was arrested.
The agitation of the workmen's asso-
citation was. however. soon joined by
agitation in revolutionary circles. On
the morning of January 81 the work
mems association. led by Father Co
pom. appeared with open revolutionary
tendencies On Sunday Father Co
pom drew up a petition of the work
men to the Emperor. which contain
ed besides the demands on behalf OF
the men insolent demands of polit-
ical character.
Among the workmen verbal and
written notifications were circulated
urging the necessity for a meeting
