It appears that Mr.. Diamond was
the original Journee man on the po-
lice board. Mayor Behrman says he
was favorable TO Col. George Lord
for Inspector and did not vote for
Journee even when the latter election
was assured. Commissioners Hineks
favored Edgar I. Leche, but Mr.. Dia-
mond held out for Chief Journee, and
hnalg won Mr.. Hincks over to his
candidate with the promise that If In

GOT EVEN WITH REED.

Congressman Cousins, of Iowa, was the late Speaker Reeds close friend for years, though one of their first in- terviews was productive of some en-
 barrassment to the big man from Maine. He was then an aspirant for the presidential nomination and the Western man stood much in awe of him. One day Cousins joined group of which Reed was the center. The Iowan has a ,nervous habit of scratch ing the back of his left hand with the fingers of his right. Observing this, MT. Reed called out to him: Did you ever have the itch, young mann" In- Ispired by Respiration, the embarrass- ed young Hawkeye man shot this reply at the imperous Reed: I've never had the presidential itch" Reeds fullmoon face turned crimson, but next day he had long talk with the man from the West. From that time until Reeds death the two were the closest friends.

For official China is arounsed. Wu Ting-Fang, former Minister at Wash ington, knows how sensitive is Amer ica's pocket nerve. He has already set in movement an organized boycott 'against American goods. Now it is proposed that Americans entering China shall be fumigated. Why not We photograph Chinese.
 Who knows what pranks the Chi nese are planning? Secretary Taft and his junketing Congressmen and their wives start across the Pacific-in few days. Perhaps the Chinese have a keener sense of humor than we sus- pect and will put Secretary Taft and his Congressional guests through the disinfecting pens. It would not be such a bad joke for the Chinese to play.-NeW York World.

A WIDOWS LUCK.
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly Kill ing Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her from insuring her life:
 T suffered for many years chiefly from trouble with my heart, with se- were nervous headaches and neuralgia; but although incapacitated at times for Srly house work, I did not realize the gravity of my condition till l was re- \ jected for life insurance; because, the examining physician said, my heart was So bad he could not pass me. This distressed me very much, as was a widow and had a child dependent upon me. It was to protect her future that l wanted to insure my life
 Fortunately for me, I happened to read an advertisement containing a testimonial from man who had been affected the same way that I was with heart trouble, and who was cured by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee I grasped at the hope this held out, and made the change at once.
 My health began to improve imme- diately. The headaches and neuralgia disappeared I gained in flesh, and my appetite came back to me at once. Greatest of all, my heart was strength ened from the beginning, and soon all the distressing symptoms passed away. No more waking up in the night with my heart trying to fly out of my mouth! Then I again made application for life Insurance and had no trouble in pass Ing the medical examination.
 1t was seven years ago that I began to use Postum Food Coffee and am using 1t still and shall continue to do 50, as I find in it a guarantee of good health.

Smoke and Water Badly Damage
 Cloak Store on Congress Avenue.
 Shortly after F o'clock yesterday noon fire broke out in the building at the corner of Temple street and Con gress avenue, and for about a half hour the fire department was kept busy fighting the flames. s 2. 4s..-s
 N.. The fire started in the store of l. H. Gordon, dealer in ladies cloaks, furs and other garments of like nature. Gordon went out to his dinner and left a gas stove which he used to heat pressing irons, burning in the back part of his store. He had gone hardly five minutes when the flames burst forth, and the place was soon filled with smoke. E
 A whole block was threatened, but the excellent work of the fire depart ment limited the damage to smoke and water. Probably $1,OO0 will cover the total loss. J. Resnik was damaged to some extent by smoke, as were also the stores on the other side of the burn ing building. 55 4 .@

SENIOR PROMENADE.
Great Social Success at woOIsey Hall
 Last Evening.

Simplicity was the order at the senior promenade held in Woolsey hall last evening, and it is undoubtedly owing to this that the affair was the great sue cess that it was. Immediately after the Glee club concert the hall was cleared and the seats were then all re- moved from the main floor. As soon as this had been completed and the hall swept the doors were again thrown open to the guests. An innovation this year was the fact that the main floor was kept entirely clear of chairs, thus allowing considerable more space for the dancers. Then, instead of having each chair in back of the railing mark ed as individual seats, the rows were all let by tiers, which caused a box ef- feet and was greatly appreciated by the various parties who secured them. As each section was numbered there was no confusion.
 The promenade was exceedingly well attended and was undoubtedly the most successful senior promenade ever given, not only as to attendance, but in all the other details. The spacious galleries were well filled with spectators, although the affair was strictly a college one. Wells or chestra of fifty pieces furnished q lengthy and most satisfactory pro- gramme. The floor was in excellent condition and everything was most fa- vorable for the dancing, which contin- ued until daybreak. The large hall was kept cool by cold air being sent up through the registers in volume, and in addition to this the cool weather of last evening did much to make it more | pleasant. H
 Never has a greater quantity of l handsome women graced a Yale func- l ton nor never have more beautiful 1 gowns been seen in this city than were l in evidence last night. White7Mas not 1 only the prevailing color of the gowns, but it was almost universally worn. l Of course there were d number of black
 gowns and gowns of pink, blue, etc.,
 but one particularly noticeable feature
 of nearly all the gowns worn last even ing was their simplicity and their cool,
 summer-like appearance. 1 At 2 o'clock there was an intermssion
 and Stewart served a most excellent
 lunchen to- all present. After the lunch
 dancing was resumed and continued
 until early morning.
 The patronesses of the promenade
 were Mrs. Morgan H. Bowman, Mrs. Frank H. Davis, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
 Mrs. Henry A. Gardner, Mrs. J. w.
 Grant, Mrs. Arthur T. Hadley, Mrs.
