served forty years including service in the civil war. These officers now are eligible to retirement as brigadier generals, and it is not the purpose of the administration to make them brigadier generals on the active list.
 Secretary Taft said there were ap- proximately forty such officers, all of whom would be permitted to retire as brigadier generals or to continue in the service in their present grade, at their option. The adoption of this pol icy will open the way for the appoint ment of more younger officers than have heretofore had that grade.
 Postmaster General Cortelyou said after the meeting that although de- cision had been reached as to the appointment of fourth assistant post master general, he was not ready to make the announcement. He said that in few days he probably would an- nounce both the fourth assistant post master general and the acting chair man of the republican national com mittee.

PRESIDENTS POLICY.
federal Appointees Will Remain if They
 Have Been Good

At meeting of the cabinet last Friday a general policy as to the federal appointments was determined upon by the president and his advisers. At the conclusion of the meeting it was announced that, for the present at least, the uniform policy would be to retain incumbents in office so long as their services were satisfactory. Thls policy will hold, it was stated further, entirely irrespective of the length of service of the incumbent.
 This policy is to apply generally to all departments of the government. It is in line with the determination reached and announced some time ago regarding postmasters. The announce. ment was made that the case of each postmaster would be determined on it's merits, and it would make no diff ference whether the incumbent had served one, two or more terms.
 In line with the general policy of civil appointments, Secretary Taft said it also had been determined not to appoint as brigadier generals on the active list of the army officers who had

What Time Proves.

This thing of being sick and looking for cure is mighty serious business. People are not given to joking even at the first symptom of the approach of the grim destroyer. They do not want to be the subjects of experiment, but want medicine that has had the test of years behind it. A medicine that has been made and used for 20 years gives assurance of its worth, and can be taken with faith that they have the very best cure the world affords. All this can be said about Dr. Gunn's Im- proved Liver Pills as remedy for sick-headach, dyspepsia and indiges- tion,it begins right at the source of the trouble and removes the cause. Sold by all druggists for 25c. per box. One pill for dose.

Proper Treatmen. Of pneumonI..

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneu- monia always results from cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain's Cought Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded of. This remedy is

SomN Exciting Incidents Of This Fierce
Naval Engagement.

and Russian ships entered the harbor

which were unable to leave their
moorings. The battle lasted four
hours. Admiral Omanney tells this of
Sir Edward Codrington. the admiral
In command: His escapes from death
were marvellous. So that he might
command a good view Of the battle he
stood on the poop Of the Asia, the most
exposed part Of the ship. He was
talking with the master when a shot
came and killed the latter at his side.
A shot killed an officer Of marines who
was on the quarter deck just below
the poop. The admiral left the poop
only once to go forward to talk to the
boatswain, and while talking to him
the boatswain also was killed at his
side.
"A bullet went through his hat In
which 1t made two holes, and an
other bullet went through his loose
coat sleeve. Another bullet smashed
his gold watch. When on the poop
he stopped his head under a rolled
awning, and while bent like that a
shot passed through the awnings
folds. At another time he had just
turned from a spot on the poop when
the place where he had been standing
was covered with wreckage from
a!oft, which would have crushed and
buried him. And yet throughout the
battle, when men were being slain and
wounded everywhere around him, Cod
rington escaped uninjured."

swept a road through the Turks by

shouted to the first lieutenant. Give
them cold shot, sir!' And the board
ers did. for they picked up the cold
shot which was lying about ready for
the guns and hurled II down upon the

man travelling from place to place
with a sack hanging behind his back
and another in front Of him. In the
one behind him he tossed all the kind
deeds Of his friends, which were soon
quite hidden from view and forgotten.
In the one hanging around his neck,

which his acquaintances committed:

prising salesman from one Of the large
cities went to a certain rural commu-

vor of his up-to-date improvement he
exclaimed:
