 CABIN NEARLY 200 YEARS OLD SEEK RELICS OF IRELAND.
Deputation Coming to United States to Obtain Objects for Exhibition
 at Dublin in 1907,

LondOn.-A deputation is going to America to obtain objects of historical interest for the international exhibi- ton to be held at Dublin in 1907. Prof. Thomas H. Teegan, principal of the Central Training college. Dublin, has sailed for New York, and Father Pat rick Lally of Galway and Col. McHack- cit of Dublin will follow They will visit all the larger cities to obtain rel ics in the possession of families of Irish descent and objects associated with the Napoleonic era held by Amer jeans.
 While the exhibition is being strong ly supported opposition to it has been aroused in some quarters. The Irish nationalists are especially opposed to it. John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party in the house of commons, explaining that what Ire- land desired at present was a national and not an international exhibition, as the Irish industries are not sufficiently developed to be placed beside the man. ufacture of oher countries.
 Representations have been made to the state department at Washington not to support the exhibition by en, couraging people to exhibit.

To Visit Our South
 American Neighbors

conference the Charleston will convey Secretary Root to Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. around the Horn to Valparaiso, Bueno Ventura and up to Panama He will inspect the canal and return home in October.
 The official representatives of the United States to the PanAmerican conference will be William l. Buchan- an, chairman; ex-Gov. H. A. Montague, of Virginia; Dr. l.. s. Rowe, of the University of Pennsylvania; Van Weer Polk, of Tennessee; Tulio Larrinaga, the Porto Rican delegate in congress; Prof. Paul s. Reinch, of the University of Wisconsin, and Charles Ray Dean, of the state department, who goes as secretary.
 For the first time the South Ameri- can countries have been asked to the conference at The Hague. So that fact makes the coming Pan-American con- ference very important.
 The delegates of all the creditor countries will probably take united stand in favor of what is known as the Drago doctrine, the name being de- rived from the fact that it was the first generally advocated by Dr. Louis Drago. minister for foreign affairs of the Argentine republic. This doctrine is briefly that a citizen of some for eign country, as, for example, the United States, who lends money to the the government of South American country, ought to depend solely upon the courts of the country to which the money is loaned for collection, and that under no circumstances should he invoke the aid of his own government to collect such a debt.
 Tn support of such a doctrine it is pointed out that money lenders who advance money to impecunious and un- reliable governments, such as some or the South American republics are, charge sufficient interest and impose other hard conditions to fully compen- sate for the risks they run of losing the money.
 It is considered unfair by South American statesmen that their gov ernments should become involved in continuous diplomatic difficulties with foreign nations by dealings which have been of a private character and with private citizens of those countries.
 The conference will discuss other subjects. such as international copy right, quarantine regulations, uni formity of customs and court regula- tion, and the general topic of arbitra- ton.

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: Some years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippe which left me in a com- plete state of collapse and l suffered for some time with nervous prostra- tion. My appetite failed, l lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me- I lost interest in every thing and almost in everybody save my precious wife
 Then on the recommendation of some friends l began to use Grape Nuts food. At that time l was a mis- erable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposl- tion to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society.
 'I finally gave up the regular minis try. indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After l had been using the Grape-Nuts food for short time I discovered that l was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; 1 began to sleep better and nay weight increased steadily; l had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained al- most my former weight and have greatly improved in every way.
 ''I feel that I owe much to Grape Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require powerful re- building agent, delicious to taste and always welcome"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Greek, Mich, A true natural road to regain health, or hold it, is by use of dish of Grape-Nuts and cream morning and night. Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes gtSen in the little recipe book found in pkgs.

FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
If Water Really Is to Be Purified, There Is Only One Way
 to Do It.

All this talk about the need of fil- ters, about people dying for lack of filtered water, amuses me- said a chemist. For filtered water isn't necessarily pure water. Boiled water is 100 times better.
 "A filter, you see, does not free water from things dissolved in 1t, but only from things floating in it. For instance, if you mix a quart of whisky in a gallon of water and then filter the mixture, it will come out color less, the floating color particles hav- ing been left behind, but this color less fluid will be quite as capable of intoxicating you now as it was before, for none of its dissolved alcohol will have disappeared
 "So with water that is polluted with sewage All the undissolved portions of the sewage are removed by filtra- tion, and the water is left clear, taste less and odorless; but the dissolved sewage is still present, and in it may lurk billions of typhoid germs.
 Let those who complain about the lack of filters just turn in and boil their water A cents worth of fire will purify gallon of water better than a $10,000,00 filter plant could do it."

Relic Situated at Pittsburg Recalls Days When Settlers Battled
 with Redskins.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Alone, yet with stately appearance, stands a log cabin built of rough hewn timber and mud plaster upon Squirrel hill by John Me Comb, nearly 175 years ago. At that time the McComb cabin was a veri- table fortress.
 Indians galore inhabited the now peaceful residential section of Squirrel hill and many times the McComb fam fly and their few nearby neighbors were forced to take up arms and fight for their lives against the redskins" The log cabin stands alone in the cen ter of big plot of ground just off Mur- ray Hill avenue.
 The old cabin, of historic fame, is now a dilapitated structure. The walls still stand as firm as when they were erected some years ago, but the floors have warped, and the interior is in a general state of decay. In the cellar of the cabin are located two large wells of water, dug by the McCOmb sieged by Indians.
 Untll last February the cabin was occupied by an old servant of the Mo Comb family, Mrs Lucy Rogers. For 23 years after the McComb family va cated the cabin Mrs. Rogers and her family lived in the log house. Mrs Rogers was a slave 10 Dr. E. A. Van Camp, formerly American consul to the Fiji islands, and after her services as bondswoman to that family ceased Comb family.

LOCOMOTIVE N POLITICS

 When Gov. Smith retired from the presidency of the road, the St Law renee became the property of the rail- way company and is now used by General Manager Jones and other officials.
 The locomotive was constructed with a view to the peculiar uses to which it might be and is now put such as conveying the chief officials of the road on their tours of inspec- tion over the line, as well as for haul ing the private cars on trips of busi- ness or pleasure. It was built in Schenectady, IA years ago. It is of the eight-wheel type, with the observa- tion car in front and above the boiler The observation saloon is handsomely furnished with carpet and rattan chairs.
 The boiler mountings on the engine are nickel plated, and the observation saloon is equipped with electric lights A speed recorder and other modern appliances are attached. The total weight of the engine is 15S.000 pounds and is capable of developing 160 pCunds of steam pressure, a sufficiency to guarantee a high rate of speed fo, a locomotive of that type
