tent are wasting their money, and the
time of both hotel clerks and postof-
fee officials. .& 5
Frequently lists Of guests are taken
from hotel registers and quantities Of
advertising matter sent to these par
ties. This mail in many instances ar
rives after the departure Of the guests
to whom it is sent and thus large guam
titles of secondclass mail matter is to
be found uncalled for at all the hotels.
Once week an inspector from the
postoffice calls at the hotels and takes
in charge all the first -class mail matter,
or letters, which have not been deliv-
cred. These letters are all recorded
at the postoffice in register for the
purpose, and eventually are forwarded
to Washington. The postoffice authori-
ties, however, are not anxious to take
in charge uncalled for second-class
matter, papers and advertising circu-
lars, which, it seems evident the par
ties addressed will never make inquiry
for. .1.
Quantity Is Enormous.
The leading hotels of the city aver.
age 50 to 200 pieces each Of second.
class mail matter a week uncalled for
and of a practically worthless char.
acter. In most cases this second-class
matter is held thirty days and then
showed on to the postoffice officials tc
do with as they please. In some cases
it is held at the hotels indefinitely
In the spring and fall, the seasons
when most advertising is done, the
amount of circulars, catalogs, samples
etc., sent to the hotels is exceedingly
large. The proprietors have no way Of
preventing this flood Of undesirable
mail matter and it is accepted along
with the frst-class mail.
There are three times as many let
ters received at the hotels as there arr
pieces of second-class mail; yet tn,
amount Of uncalled for second elias
mail is fully twice as large as that 0:
uncalled for frst-class matter.

CUBANS FAVOR
AN APPEAL To
WORLD POWERS
Fiery Talk on the ParlOf Leaders
on the Island Our ENJOYS
Ask Peace.

HAVANA, Sept. 27.-At a Moderate
assembly called here the most fiery de-
nunciatiohs Of the United States con-
duct were delivered.
Some of the speakers declared in ia
vor of appealing to the world powers,
and others even talked of dynamiting
American property. Officers of the ru-
raj guard who were present ~applauded
the intiammatory ~utterances.
1t was declared hat the government
forces should fight to the death rather
than submit to the terms insisted upon
by the rebels, and one speaker depicted
the horrors of negro domination, which
would result, he said, from the threat
ened Liberal ~ascendancy brought about
with the alleged assistance of the Unit
ed States.
After these fiery ebullltions several
of the Moderate leaders subsidized and
calmer counsels prevailed. A new
proposition was hastily adopted and
sent to Secretary Taft. The feeling of
many Moderates is that this may pave
the way to q reopening Of the peace
negotiations and obviate the necessity
of the resignation of the government.
The Moderates have agreed to APP
point a committee to negotiate terms
of peace with a committee of the reb-
els and Liberals, leaving all points up
on which no agreement is reached to
the arbitration of the American COM
mlssioners. The Moderates have aban-
doned the condition that the rebels
must first lay down their arms before
negotiations q commence.
A committee of American cattlemen
from Sancti Splritus visited Secreta-
ries Taft and Bacon and said that they
represented interests which were en-
titled to a. stable government or in de-
fault thereof to American Intervention.
Mr.. Bacon replied:
I'VE have no idea what the future
form OF government will be. What we
are working Oh o is a solution which

Welded WHILE I'LL I
ON HOSPITAL COT.
Mr.. Fisher, of Indiana, Appendicitis
Patient at Smith Infirmary, Mar
ries Girl from Buffalo.

PORT RICHMOND, S. l., Sept. 81.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
H. B. Fisher, of Fort Wayne, Ind.
and Miss Florence Elasser, of Buffa-
10, were married last Saturday eve
ming in the S. r. Smith Infirmary, on
Staten Island. The wedding of the
young couple had been set for yester-
day, and was to take place at the
home of the youn woman's parents,
in Buffalo.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Fisher
came to Staten Island to visit friends
at Port Richmond. Early last week
he was taken i'll and appeared to be
threatened with appendicitis. He was
taken to the Smith Infirmary, where
a private room was engaged for him.
Thursday, the doctors told him that
it would probably be a couple Of
weeks before he would be able to
leave the hospital, and he %thereupon
decided to send for Miss Elasser, who
arrived Saturday morning.
The young woman remained at his
bedside all day, and after they had
talked the matter yer they made up
their minds to have the marriage GER
emony performed without delay.
The Rev. f. J. Hubach, pastor of
the Grace Methodist Episcopal church
Of Port Richmond, was sent for, and
he performed the ceremony in the
presence of two nurses.
The bride will remain at the hos
pital until her husband has recover
ed sufficiently to leave the institu-
ton, when the pair will depart for
Fort Wayne.

COLBY men
STAND FIRM.
Are in Minority al Essex County
Convention But Do Not
Yield An Inch.

NEWARK, Sept. 27.-Having won
a sweeping victory over the new
idea" forces in Essex county in Tues
days primary elections, the machine
organization of the republican party
was in absolute control of last nights
county convention, held in the Krue-
ger auditorium. The proceedings of
the convention we're practically at the
dictation of the party boss in the
county, Major Carl Lentz, who head
ed the delegation from his ward, the
first, of Newark.
The comparative strength of the
regulars" and the new idea" for
ces, as shown on the formal ballot
Tor county supervisor, was 351 to
lS9. The minority hung together,
practically to a man, presenting It's
own resolutions and candidates, and
voting against the machine whenever
a vote was to be taken.
Yesterday afternoon, in the new
auditorium the defeated Colby forces
held a conference, at which the situa-
ton in general was discussed, and it
Woo iCoolNCu W DICStuI W Lie CUu-
vention all the candidates indorsed
a few weeks ago at a conference in
the same place, to offer for adoption
the platform of the new idea as
semblymen made public through the
newspapers early this week, and to
decline to make unanimous the nom
nations of the machine. 1t was also
agreed that to further the success of
the new movement in it's next battle
with the regulars" the Colby dele
gates would hold firmly together, no
matter what might happen, and thus
show themselves undaunted by de-
feat.
AS a result Of this action, the con-
vention last night was one of the
most, spirited and exciting on record
in Essex county. The chairman, VIII
liam A. Lord, city counsel of Orange,
had evidently been instructed to give
the Colbyites as little rope as posi-
BILE. and he carried out the will of the
majority leaders to the letter. AS
the viva voce vote of the rival sec
lions of the party was given, it was
evident each one was using its ut
most lung power to outshout the
other.
The name of William P. Martin
was v~ociferously cheered by the Col
by forces, but the fighting leader of
the delegation went down to defeat
just as his colleagues had done. The
new assembly ticket is made up as
follows:
William Pennington, Abraham
Kaiser, G. Edgerton Allcock, Freder-
lex Manners, Herbert w. Taylor, Fer
dinand j.. Hosp. George B. Essley,
Jr., Daniel Schleich, Coleman e. Kis-
sam, Louis G. Bowden and James G.
Mayfeld.
Pennington, Kaiser, Manners and
Taylor have served previously as re-
publican assemblymen. On the con-
vention platform leaders of the new
movement" were absent. In the pli
ces they occupied last year were men
prominent as regular" republicans,
including Wayne Parker and Mayor
Henry NJ. Doremus, both candidates
for denomination.
Senator Everett Colby was not in
the hall. His cousin, Gardner Colby,
of East Orange, chairman of the
new idea' organization, in the coun-
ty, was present, but took no part in
the proceedings, except to respond as
leader of his delegation, to the secre-
tary's call for votes.
