POSTAL CLERKS ESCAPED.
Gratifying Information Concerning
the Rio Grande Wreck.

Capt. James E. White. superintendent of
the railway mall service, has received tel
egram from Superintendent Taft of the
southwestern division reporting upon the
injury sustained by the service In the rail-
road wreck on the Denver and Rio Grande
early Friday morning. Contrary to report,
the three employees In the mail car on the
westbound train were not killed, and two
of them were not seriously injured.
The position of the mail car usually
means that death or injury comes to the
postal employees among the first in train
wreck, and 1t was therefore somewhat of a
surprise and a source of much satisfaction
that the following word was received:

PROPOSED EXTENSION
More Land to Be Added to Rock
Creek Park.
HALF A MILLION ASKED
For About One Hundred Acres of
Ground.
BILL NOW BEING FORMULATED
For Presentation to Congress-Mr. C.
C. Glover Has Reasonable OPP
tons on All Tracts
I'LL NOW BEING FORMULATED

A proposition for an extension of Rock
Creek Park to the southwest along the
creek and thence toward the northwest,
north of Massa chusetts avenue extended,
is taking definite form, and an earnest
effort will be made to have this plan put
into effect before the adjournment of the
present session of Congress. The Com
missoners of the District Of Columbia are
now at work formulating a bill which
will properly describe the property that It
is desired to have purchased for this ex-
tension, and which comprises about 100
acres of land Astounding in that same mar
velous scenery that characterizes Rock
Creek Park and which has made it con-
spicuous among the great parks of the
world.
The proposition has been put into a prac-
teal form by Mr.. Charles C. Glover, who
played the part of leadership in the intiat-
ing and in carrying on the long campaign
that resulted in the legislation providing
for the original purchase of Rock Creek
Park about sixteen years ago. Mr.. Glover.
realizing that Congress is always aVerse to
condemnation proceedings for the purchase
of land because of the uncertainty of the
price that may be arrived at by that
method. and seeing a favorable opportunity,
has secured options on the land desired for
this extension of the park. These options
nave resulted III the eHllTe property dNeIds-
ing in cost little more than $4,000 an acre,
or a trifie less than 10 cents a square foot.
Some of the land averages in price less
than that and some of ii more Mr..
Glover, who is regarded one of the most
relia ble judges of real estate values In the
District of Columbia, Is satisfied that the
price is one that will recommend itself to
Congress when the location and condition
of the property to be purchased are con-
sidered.
Examination of the Ground.
Senator Allison chairman of the Senate
committee on appropriations, and Senator
Gallinger chairman of the Senate commit

A JOB FOR THE UTES.
Santa Fe Road Will Employ All the
Males.

President Roosevelt and Commissioner
Luepp of the Indian bureau have for years
been deluged with pitiful stories about the
Ute Indians of southern Arizona starving
because the white man had turned the wa
ter from their irrigation bitches and they
could not longer make the crops on which
to live. Both the President and Mr.. Luepp
were touched by these stories and the latter
set about to try to find work for the Utes,
q band of nearly 800 men. women and chill
dren. In the meantime the Indians were
sent to Fort Meade, S. D., to be fed on gov
eminent rations until something could be
done. Commissioner Luepp has at last
found jobs for the men and has informed
the President of his success. The Sante Fe
road has offered permanent employment to
the whole male portion of the Ute band on
its roadbed in Arizona and New Mexico
at 81 80 per day for each buck" with lodg-
ings and fuel furnished for himself and
family. limited to one wife, however. The
Indians will be asked whether they care to
take the job, and the experiment of a
working Ute will be watched with great
interest.

CREATIVE GENIUS.
Editor of the Churchman Compares
Roosevelt and Washin eton.

NEW YORK, December 22-Roosevelt
and Washington were eulogized as the two
great Presidents by Rev. Dr. Silas McBee,
editor of the Churchman in an address en-
titled Our President" delivered at the
dinner of the New England Society of the
Oranges at Orange, N. j., tonight. He said:
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly a
man Of genius" new Highlander once said
to me, but, as President Eliot said of him.
the trouble Is, he will never be grown up'
My friend was not little surprised when
expressed unqualified approval Of Pres
ident Eliots epfgram. / said it describes
perfectly the two types of men. The grown
up man is finished. He represents crystal
lization. DR.. Eliot is grown up. The Pres
ident Is not grown up. and thank God he
never will be. In his perpetual growing

ican.'
II unhesitatingly connect George WASH
ington and Theodore Roosevelt In the
birth years of the nation the executive was
necessarily maker of precedents. In the
new birth of the nation as a world power,
the executive has again of necessity been q
maker of precedents. Both Presidents have
shown creative genius in dealing with new
conditions. They have contributed posi-
lively and constructively to the interpreta-
ton O fthe powers of the executive under
the Constitution. They have. accepted the
Constitution as "a living instrument and
not a dead letter. To degree unequaled
they have been loyal to the American peo-
pie, who made and who defend and sustain
the Constitution"

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many Of
the early days when our mothers and grandmothers
gave us our daily dose Of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall blood
purifier" tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this
old fashioned remedy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy crude
and unpalatable, and large quantity had to be
taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of
SULPHUR In a palatable concentrated form, that
q single grain is far effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment have
proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is
that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They small chocolate coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal principle
of sulphur in O highly concentrated, effective FORM
Few people are aware of the value of this form
of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily
yigor and health; sulphur acts directly the
liver and excretory organs and purifies and
riches the blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed US
with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall,
but the crudity and impurity Of ordinary flowers
of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and
cannot compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, Of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the natural antidote for liver and kid
ney troubles and constipation aEl purify the
blood in a way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.

sulphur remedies. soon found that the sulphur

AS TO EXCURSION TICKETS.
Ruling by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Complaint has been made to the interstate
commerce commission that in many in
stances persons desiring to attend conven-
lions on a particular day are prevented from
promptly returning to their homes because
the minimum number of round trip tickets
required has not been presented for valida-
ton. In answer to numerous inquiries the
commission now expresses the opinion that
it would not be unlawful or improper for
carriers to accept a satisfactory guarantee
or bond of an association or society, which
Is entitled to and for which the round trip
rate is made, that the minimum number of
tickets will be validated or the difference
between the reduced rate and the full rate
paid by the association on society. thus per-
hitting the prompt valuation of tickets
and reduced return trip rate; 1t being
understood that if the specified number OF
tickets shall not be validated the society
will. in good faith, be required to pay the
difference agreed upon"
The commission also announces an ex-
tension of time in the application of the
rule governing through rates which exceed
