Grand Parade Of the Grand Army
Veterans at Denver.
Streets Packed with People, and
the ovation Given the March
ers Was Unstinted.

Denver. Col, Sept. THE main
event Of the Grand Army encampment.
speaking from the viewpoint Of the
rank and file. was the grand parade. To
the veteran the privilege of again tread
ing in step with comrades OF the
biyouac of 81 is one for which no hard
ship seems too great to undergo, no
ordeal too severe to undertake. Many
who marched the two miles were ex-
hausted when the end was reached, and
many others, weakened by age, fell out
OF line long before the journey was
completed.
The ovation given the marchers was
unstinted. The streets were packed
with people, and the windows and roofs
of the buildings along the line OF
march swarmed with humanity. The
cheering was continuous, and the griz-
zled old warriors were kept busy bow
ing Acknowledgements and raising their
hats in courteous salute.

Resourceful Editor.

An Indiana editor has solved a
problem that has worried newspaper
Offices ever since the telegraph, the
telephone and the mail began consplr-
ing with the reporter and the linotype
operator to make too much copy.
When the foreman poked his head into
the sanctum and yelled: I'm over
set two columns the editor repeated
the trite facetious order: Hang it on
the chases." But he really meant what
he said, relates the Indianapolis News,
for he walked into the omposing-room
and instructed the makeup to put the
over-set two columns of matter In
narrow chase, with an inch space Ee-
tween the columns. The paper went
to press, and so did the two extra col
umns. When the latter were worked
off, a cutting machine separated the
columns and a deft-fngered girl, with
the aid of a pastebrush, attached a
column to each side of the paper-lg-
uratively speaking, hung the over
set to the chases. This Indiana ed
itor probably had seen the product OF
one of the new-fangled multiplying
presses, press that permits the addl-
ton of one, two or three columns to
page as necessity demands-and adapt
ed the idea, in crude but effective
NOV to hil own needs

RECOGNITION OR A STRIKE
Great Convention of Miners Dele
gates Next December to
Plan Campaign.

Philadelphia, Sept. president John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
states that at the expiration of the pres
ent wage agreement. which ends next
April. the union must be recognized or
a strike is almost certain The other
contentious will be for an eight-hour
day and an increase of the minimum
wage scale
A great convention of anthracite coal
miners will be held in December at one
of the coal region cities, at which 1000
delegates will assemble. These men
will plan tentative campaign for us,
providing the coal operators do not
yield.
Said Mr.. Mitchell: II can only re-
iterate what said at Tamaqua, that
no permanent industrial peace can be
established in the coal regions until the
union is formally recognized. 1t isn't
matter of sentiment, but of practical
business. Unless the operators allow
us, as contracting parties, to assist in
fixing wages and improving conditions
of employment, there is always likely
to be friction"

THE PEACE TREATY

Intermediates Between Japanese
and Russian Governments.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 6.-The
treaty Of peace between Russia and ia
pan was signed by the representatives
Of the two empires at 3:47 p. m. Tues
day. On the instant of the consumma-
ton Of the great historical act, salute
was fired at the United States navy
yard on Kittery point.
The copies of the treaty brought to
the navy yard had been carefully pre-
pared by the secretaries of the two mis-
sions, in order to avoid the necessity
Of reading them before signing them, at
which personages extraneous to the ne
gotiations assisted. When the secre-
taries had arranged with perfect exact
ness the two copies of the treaty, the
plenipotentiaries and other members
of the two missions entered the con-
ference hall accompanied by Assistant
Secretary PIERCE, Gov. McLane, Admiral
Mead and the mayor of Portsmouth.
Mr.. White was the first to sign his
name to the treaty. After the cere-
monies of the signing of the treaty,
Baron de Rosen delivered short
speech, pointing out the Importance of
the event and the influence it will have
in the relations between the two coun-
tries. He ended by expressing the sat
isfaction he felt at the good relations
which have characterized the work OF
the plenipotentiaries. Baron Komura
replied, paraphrasing Baron de Rosen's
speech, and expressing his thanks for
the kind words addressed to himself
and to the members of his mission.
The entire Russian mission, headed
by Mr.. White, attended thanksgiving
service celebrated in Christ Episcopal
church both by the American and Rus
sian clergymen.
Re-entering the hotel, one of the chief
members of the Japanese mission said:
THE treaty signed to-day may be the
most important historical feature of the

MASSACRE and DESTITUTlON|
Russian Cities Being Burned and
the Inhabitants Slaughtered.


Baku, Caucasia, cept. S.-The situa-
tion shows no signs Of amelioration. It
could hardly be worse. The terror
stricken inhabitants are fleeing from
the city, knowing that the garrison Is
utterly inadequate to protect them;
and although the worst scenes of fire
and massacre have not vet occurred in
Baku itself, none dare think how far
the excess may proceed.
The entire oil and commercial quar-
tiers of Balakhan, Sabun.o and Nomani
have been wiped out by fire, and the
inhabitants remaining behind were
massacred and thrown onto the flames.
Biblebat continues to burn, and is
threatened with the same fate as Balak-
han.
The consulates, banks and admins
tration buildings in Baku are guarded
by troops. All of the English, resi-
dents and almost all Of the better
classes have boarded to sea to escape
from danger. All available steamers
have been employed for this purpose.
A whole army of hungry workmen,
driven in from the burned suburbs, has
flocked into the city. There is the
greatest destitution, and measures for
transporting the workmen from the city
are imperatively necessary.

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

1t is a mistake to assume that physi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use of
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf. to tell how he made
well man of himself with Natures
remedy:
Before l came from Europe, where
I was born" he says, cit was my Gus
tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au
lait) with my morning meal, small
cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and
two or three additional small cups at
my club during the evening.
"In time nervous symptoms devel-
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
of spirits, despondency-in brief. the
blues!' l at first tired medicines, but
got no relief and at last realized that
all my troubles were caused by coffee.
I thereupon quit its use forthwith.
substituting English Breakfast Tea.
'sThe tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned. and / quit 1t also, and
tried to use milk for my table bever-
age. This was compelled however to
abandon speedily for while it relieved
the nervousness somewhat, it brought
on constipation. Then by a happy
inspiration was led to try the Postum
Food Coffee. This was some months
ago and ! still use it J am no longer
nervous, nor do / suffer from the
pains about the heart, while my blues
have left me and life is bright to me
once more. / know that leaving off
coffee and using Postum healed me,
and make it rule to advise my pa
tients to use It. Name given by

MrKADo,s THRONE ENDANGERED.
Military evoIt Against the Present
Dynasty Probable.

New York, Sept. 6.-The World
prints the statement of staff corre-
spondent, who sailed from Japan just
before the peace ENJOYS met in Ports
mouth, in the course of which he says:
"The Mutsuhito dynasty is in peril.
In the army a peace without huge
money indemnity was unthinkable.
am speaking very moderately when
say that popular revolution, backed
By the army, is the most likely thing
IN the situation. The Japanese army
is supreme in the empire. The en-
peror has become a mere go-between,
with an arrogant military aristrocracy
on one side and fearful and democrat
lied civilian class on the other. Even
the prime minister admitted to me that
the army is absolutely supreme. Not
only is the army power in itself, but
the people are frantically devoted to 1t.
''Just before left Japan it was COM
mon talk there that if the emperor and
his advisers should yield to foreign
pressure and humiliate Japan by a
diplomatic surrender to Russia, there
would be a popular uprising, supported
by a revolt in the army, and that the
emperor would be deposed.
IF the army revolts | believe that
Gen. Kodama, Oyama's chief Of staff,
will be the leader. Oyama, Kuroki and
Ncdzu would at first probably support
the emperor, but the bulk of the of
ficers and the men in the field would
stand by Kadama.
Japan has 100000 actual fighting
men in the field at this moment. They
believe they can easily defeat the Rus
sian forces in front of them and seize
eastern Siberia. 1t would not surprise
me if they should ignore the treaty of
peace, defy the emperor and go right
on with the war; No doubt the navy
would be loyal to the emperor. 1t is
development of the new Japan and has
no connection, sentimental or other
wise, with the old Japan. whose ideas
inspire the army"
