j o. Campbell, VINO is working the
old Aspen mine at Silverton, came
down this morning to visit his family.
Mr.. Campbell says he can not under
stand quite how the pneumonia cpl
demic has taken such hold at Sill
verton at this time. Two of his men
have died with it ana numerous 9TH
crs. He can not find that it is due to
weather conditions, but ascribes 1t
more to men allowing themselves To
become weakened by overwork or in
attention 10 their physical being. He
regards II seriously and expresses the
hope that the epidemic may be allayed
in some way. Mr. Campbell is get

he thinks, to restore 1T to its former

now in readiness for comprehensive

of the company to begin work as early
as the flow of water in the La Plata
will furnish the initial power for the

recently tnat the mineral properties of

mailed. He at once made peace with his
cabinet by declaring that the whole OBJ
ject and spirit of the letter was to pro-
tect the proceedings of cabinet meet
iugs and prevent the cabinet from be-
ing misrepresented in speculative dis
patches. Then he sent for a number
of special newspaper correspondents
and, in his characteristic way, took
them right into his confidence and ex-
planned most clearly what the order
meant and what 1t did not mean.
He assured the correspondents that
the relations between himself and
them and between him and the mem.
bers of his cabinet had not been dis
turbed in the least. The only point was
that members of the cabinet had been
requested not to discuss with newspa-
per men at any time the discussions
that had occurred in the cabinet room.
He did not mean by his order to create
a news trust by requesting his cabinet
to give the news to the press associa-
TONS He went further and by his
statement declared that a newspaper
correspondent had a proprietary or
vested right in a scoop Everybody
knows that scoop" is the securing
of a piece Of news by newspaper man
which is not known to his colleagues
on opposition papers or to press asso-
Citations. The president declared that
when a man went to a cabinet officer
or to himself, the president, for infor-
nation on such piece of news the in
formation was to ne given to him, and
no other newspaper man or press asso-
citation was to be let into the secret.
The president went to all this trou-
BILE and went through the embarrass-
ment OF half apologizing to newspaper
men for his order because he thought
that his square deal policy was In
volved and Il was due to the cabinet
ana newspaper men that he should
thoroughly and clearly explain what
he meant by his letter.

much terror nowadays. There will be,
at least. strong recommendation to
the governments of Canada and the
United States for a clearer demarka-
ton OF the boundary line between
Canada and the states Of Vermont and
Maine. Surveyors have been engaged
all the past summer in an inspection OF
this line.
1t has been found that monuments
marking this boundary in many cases
have fallen down, and some have been
removed. The damage was so great in
this respect that a new style Of boun-
dairy marks to take the place of the
present cast iron monuments will
probably be recommended Some OF
the surveyors are strongly in favor OF
putting up stone monuments along the
Maine and Vermont borders similar to
those built by the state of New York
ana Canada three years ago. These
New York monuments are solidly
planted on stone pedestals built into
the ground to a depth below the frost
line. They are six feet in height and
very durable.
The Importance of having the Dor
der between Maine and Vermont and
Canada is rapidly being settled, and
already there is trouble with snug
glers, who build what are called line
houses" which sit on the boundary
line, one half on Canada and one halt
in the state. It is necessary, also, to
have the line at railroad crossings
clearly delimited. 1t is absolutely nee
essary to determine exactly and in
what territory an accident occurs and
the clear definition Of boundary line
is therefore needed across all railroads.
Both Canada and the United States
have already experienced much trouble
in arresting smugglers who live and
operate along the border.

nished recently in his dealings with his
own cabinet and newspaper CORE
spoDdents.
1t had been decided by the president
and members of his cabinet, every
member Joining him in his determine
ton, that the proceedings of cabinet
meetings should not be divulged by
anyone unless a conclusion was
reached on some particular subject. 1t
was decided that whatever of that sort
Of news should be given out should be
transmitted to the public through Sec
rotary to the President Loeb. The first
meeting after this rule had been
adopted resulted in the press associa-
tions taking the account given out by
Mr.. Loeb, while the special correspond
ents did a good deal of specializing
and wrote some rather lurid stories Of
the meeting.
The appearance of these special
stories disturbed the president, and on
the eve of his trip to the south he die
tated a letter to members of his cabi-
net, a strict Interpretation of which
would seem to indicate that he was in
structing these officials as to their
duties and ordering them not to talk
to special correspondents or give away
any news. A strict construction of the
language of this letter would indicate
an order that cut off all information
/ to the special correspondents, and
made the press associations merely the
channel through which news the ad-
ministration considered should be
made public should be issued. The let
ter caused a storm of protest from
cabinet officers and from special cor.
respondents.

About giving tips TO servants there
is wide difference Of opinion. There
are employers who are extremely an.
noyed at the thought that a guest UNI
der their roof shall bestow fee OF
gratuity on the maid or the man who
renders a service. Others are less
sensitive on this point, and have no
objection to allowing their domestics
to accept a tip from a departing guest
As company in the house always
means extra work for the help, they
are not TO blame II they prefer those
guests who slip little money into the
hand when they are going away. A
lady may please a maid as we'll by be-
slowing on her some pretty gift such
as a stock, a handkerchief, a ribbon
or a pair of gloves. ns by giving her
money outright. Unless host and
hostess are known to be opposed TO the
practice a guest need not hesitate to
give a small sum TO those who have
mlnlstered TO his or her comfort.
Years ago. a man gho was born and
had lived abroad most OF his life, was
often a visitor in the home Of young
girl whom he greatly admired, and

cred that the maid who had blackened
his boots was the dainty daughter OF
the house. She used to steal softly TO
the door when all was still and carry
those boots to the bathroom, where
she cleaned them herself The maids
who did the ordinary work would have
dlsdalned this homsly task which she
willingly took upon herself for her
lover. rather than give him moments
embarrassment.
Host and hostess should plan to give
guests a good deal Of freedom In the
week's-end visit. It is a great bore to
be constantly entertained. The free
dom Of the house and grounds, liberty
to drive or row on lake or river, and
some degree of license as to reading
writing letters. or taking walks are
greatly appreciated. If there are chill
