AGED WOMAN BEATS TRUST
Mrs. Nieman Prevented Planting of
Electric Light Pole Despite Her
Eighty-siX Years.

Philadelphia, Pa, July S.-The ten
days vigil of aged Mrs. M. A. Nieman,
1449 North Twelfth street to prevent
the planting of an electric light pole
before her house ended in victory when
she upset the calculations of the Elec-
trio Trusts employees by getting into
the hole dug for the pole and remaining
until the workmen agreed to fill 1t up.
Mrs. Nieman. who is Sc years old. gazed
triumphantly from her windows at a
small American flag planted where 1t
had been intended to locate the pole,
while the latter was ANONYMOUSLY con-
signed to the gutter.
The aged woman routed the Philadel-
phia Electric companys forces single
handed. She had been on guard for
ten days. but at a favorable opportuni-
ty the workmen sunk hole four feet
deep in the pavement. While they
were getting ready to plant the pole
Mrs. Nieman appeared, carrying a flag,
and dropped into the excavation. A big
crowd gathered and encouraged her in
defying the corporations men. The
latter began knocking earth into the
hole, but Mrs. Nieman was not to be
frightened out.
Finally superintendent Foster order
ed his men to break up a corner of the
cement pavement in front of the bak-
cry next door. His idea was to run a
new hole diagonally into the old one
and plant the pole.
George NJ. Richardson interviewed in
the interest of the baking firm and
when he and Foster came to blows
they were arrested. Meanwhile Coun-
Gilman DR.. Thomas Morton of the ward
telephoned to President Mccall of the
Philadelphia Electric company an &C
count of the affair. The hole was or
dered refilled.
In order that this might be done Mrs.
Nieman had to be assisted from the
hole by neighbOrs. it being too deep
for her to get out AS soon as it was
filled Mrs. Nieman planted her flag I'm
the dirt and stationed herself on guard.
"All | have TO say" she said last
night, lis that the pole isn't going up
if have to camp here for ten more
days and nights"
Mrs. Nieman claims that she was
beaten and bruised in a row with the
workmen previous to her encounter of
yesterday.

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
a Michigan Mother Preserved to Her
Family by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR.. Will

performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them.

Mrs. Pinkham took great interest

characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature Sc
bountifully provides in the harvest

all kinds; so, if we hut take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex.

it was her pleasure to search these out,

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe

LEARNING 70
LOVE BILL TAFT.
cubans Seem to- Think He is the Nicesi
Man That Ever Sat on a Republic.

- -
Habana, Oct. 1.-Governor; Taft's
& acts today have gone far to win him
4 warm place in the hearts of the peo
3 pie whose destinies have been placed
in his hands.
Presiding this morning at the open.
ing exercises of the University o.
Habana, he declared his mission here
was solely for the purpose of uplift.
ing the fallen republic and restoring
s it to the path of prosperity, an an
nouncement which was received with
demonstrations of delight by an au.
dence representative of the highest
society in Habana.
Following this it became known that
Governor Taft and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon had cabled fo1
their wives to join them here, a step
which cannot but be most agreeable
to the Cuban people, and which will
strongly cement the bonds of affec-
tion between them and the American
provisional administration.
Learning that many poor families
occupying the temporarily disused
barracks at Camp Columbia were
about to be summarily evicted by or
der of the Cuban authorities, Cover
nor Taft directed that these people
remain undisturbed in their homes for
period of l5 days. The news of this
act of humanity spread rapidly and
received the highest praise. These
evidences of American good viii have
earned such general favorable COM
ment that the landing today of the
battalion of marines which will con-
stitute the garrison here caused hard
II ripple of excitement.
With the members of the supreme
court Governor Taft held a prolonged
conference concerning the drafting of
proclamation of general amnesty.
This decree is Of the most imp portance,
In view Of the fact that at many
points on the island, notably Cienfue-
gos, many persons are in njal awaiting
the disposition Of political changes.
The governor today appointed Maj.
Eugene f. Ladd and Alexander Con
zales committee to audit the ac-
counts of the treasury.
The laying down of arms by the
rebels IN the vicinity of Habana will
begin tomorrow, when the men will
be entrained for their homes.

THE AGED CLERKS SHOW ZIP
FINELY

The furore caused by the introduction
or the Tawney amendment against aged
clerks in Government employ has done
ing the matter to a head. The public
has heard SO much about the great
numbers of old and decrepit clerks i'm
Government employ that it has feared
that wheels would stop from the per-
vading senility. Naturally the Civil
Service Commission was instructed TO
investigate and report to the President.
Carefully prepared blanks were sent
out to all the Departments. which have
now been received back, their informa-
ton tabulated and studied, and reported
TO the President, who will probably
soon make the report public. So far
all that is given out is that the reports
show there are in the Departments 1,5S7
clerks above the age of SIS. OF this
number 1SS hold their positions on ac-
count of their war records. The oldest
man in the service is 81 years. There
is one who Is 80. Three are Sc, four

men is carefully graded the results be-
ing: Excellent, 374; good. $50; average.
229; fair, 251; poor, 80.
This rs surprisingly good showing
for the clerks of advanced years. though
1t was not unexpected by those who
are personally acquainted with those
men, and know the alertness Of their
minds and the rich store of experience
and knowledge their long years have
given them.
Now, 1T is in order to demand a SINH
lar report as to the clerks who are
under SO. We risk nothing i'm predict
ing that it will fall far short of showing
that one-fourth of them are doing Eek

HoBsON FOR PRESIDENT.

OF course. there is nothing in the
Constitution Of the United States or in
the laws made in pursuance thereof to
prevent any man who takes a fancy to
United States. That is one OF the IN
alienable rights bought for VI by our
Monmouth and Trenton. Therefore. we
can view with composure the fact that
Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, of
Alabama, has been so encouraged by
his victory in securing the Congression-
al nomination that he scars to still loft
Ter heights. and has begun a boom for
himself for the Presidency. Capt Hob
son has several bases for his candidacy,
which commend themselves highly to
himself, and he thinks will be equally
pleasing to the free and independen mt
voters of the country. First he is Capt
Hobson. which is a matter of immense
weight to him. and naturally he thinks
it is one Of great importance to the
SO,0OO.00O of his fellow-countrymen
Next, he sank the Merrimac i'm the
Harbor of Santiago. and did q gallant
deed in very handsome and sailorlike
way. If we were elccting Pre- sidents
upon the basis of some one heroic deed
Capt. HobsOn's chances would be very
good. Next, he is Democrat and
young. In common with many millions
of his fellow-countrymen he feels that
1t Is high time for the Democracy to
come out of the graveyards Of the past
and mfngle in the active life OF the
present. Therefore, his entrance into
the arena will be q clarion call for the
young men of the Democracy to slough
Off the gray moss of a disastrous past
and begin to read I'm that bright lexicon
Of youth in which there is no such word
as fail. While we cannot promise his
candidacy The National Tribune's sup
port, he has our active sympathy Hob
son is a picturesque fellow of unbound
ed belief in Hobson, and liable to do
things that will agreeaby vary the
monotony Of the old stereotyped Presi-
Dental campaign. So more power to
his elbow, and may he enter the next
Democratic National Convention with
hosts of unterrified young Democrats
behind him, whose wild vociferation for
the hero of Santiago Harbor will give
the Democrats something else to think
about than issues which have long since
been inscribed on the tombstones of a
past dead beyond resurrection.

THE TYPE OF THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.

1t may be regarded as virtually set
tied that the type of the Isthmian
Canal will be some form of the lock
system. The Senate has been taking
voluminous testimony for months, but
possibly the strongest factor in arriy-
ing at a conclusion Is a letter from
Chief Engineer Stevens, dated before
the publication of the conclusions of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, in
which he stated that the whole engi-
neering staff were unanimously In ia
vor of high-level lock canal. He did
not find among all his engineering as
sociates single maa in favor Of the
sc a-lcvel and many of them were ac-
lively hostile to It, He claimed that
his and their conclusions should have
the more weight, as they were derived
from actual study upon the ground of
all the conditions affecting the construc-
ton Of the canal, and that they should
greatly overbcar theoretical opinions
derived from ideal conceptions by men
who never saw the Isthmus

is shown how completely the trusts
nave the railroads at their mercy. in
1908 the trunk lines refused to be held
up by the trust and for six months
they had TO run their cars empty while
the smaller lines. taking roundabout
courses. were heavily loaded with profit

successor take up the work which IL
would find abundant
