NOW IN A SOLDIERS HOME.
The Case Of John J. Bowes Now {
Closed Incident,

The case of John ]. Bowes, the former
United States soldier, who came back to the
United States from Ireland on the steam
ship Ivernia to enter soldiers home and
who arrived at Boston, where he was de-
tanned by the immigration officials pending
an investigation, is now a closed incident
Bowes is now a duly accredited inmate Of
the soldiers home at Togus. Me-, where he
was sent on the 9Th instant at the expense
of the authorities of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers
In refutation of the statement that the
immigration officials had denied Bowes a
landing in the United States, Secretary Met
calf has given out the following letter from
Bowes. written from Boston on the eve of
his departure for the home in Togus:
L wish to thank you sincerely for the
very kind treatment have received at your
appreciate thoroughly that the arrangement
for my admission to the Soldiers Home at
Iogus, Me-, is directly due to the feeling
displayed and the action taken by the Off
GERS at this station, and especially to the
efforts of Commissioner Billings and In
spector Hagberg, both of whom have ac-
corded me every possible means toward
such an end"
1t was explained by the Secretary that
the lack of one of Bowes' discharge papers
alone prevented quick action in placing him
In national home. This made it neces-
Sary to trace his military record from the
war Department archives, with the result
that all conditions were finally met.

THE CASE OF MARCUS BRAUN.
Correspondence In the Matter Sent te
Congress.


President Roosevelt has submitted to
Congress all the official communications in
connection with the arrest of Marcus
Braun, special agent of the Depar tment OF
Commerce and Labor in Budapest last May,
subsequent to Mr.. Brauns trouble with
Austro- Hungarian officials who tempered
with his mail. The correspondence was
made public in compliance with a resolu-
ton of Representative Sulzer.
1t comprises scores of kilograms letters
and statements, and reviews the case from
Braun's mail until the punishment of minor
Hungarian officials and the termination OF
diplomatic representations on the part OF
the United States. The letter of Secretary
1ay finally disposing of the case follows:
lnasmuch as 1t appears from the CORE
spondence that Braun was guilty of highly
improper conduct as an official OF the
United States engaged in a mission in Hun
gary, in openly attacking the Hungarian
government III the newspapers, and that
his antecedents are not such as to require
any further action than the proper asser-
ton of the dignity of the United States,
and inasmueh as Braun has been recalled
and the offending petty officials have been
reprmanded by the imperial governments,
sfrable to press the smatter further with
the Austro- Hungarian government"
Despite Braun'S reported indiscretions
Minister Storer at Vienna said he firmly be-
Heved that the sanctity of Braun's CORE
spondence was outrageously violated, and
the technical excuse put forward in justi-
fication. Later the Hungarian government
published the promised diSayowal of the
former police statement against Braun.

Butter milk.
A SURFER WAY OUT.

The "buttermik fad which its followers insist
ed was the for all the ills that human flesh
is heir to, has pretty well had its day.
Buttermilk is a pleasant and healthy drink. but
there are a whole lot of desirable things that ii
cannot do. Nebraska woman found something
much more worth while. She says:
Three years ago my stomach was in such a
frightful condition that could scarcely bear to
take any food at all. Indeed. there was once that
l went for Il days without a morsel OF nourish-
meat preferring starvation the acute agony that
suffered when / ate anything. And all this en-
tailed upon almost constant headaches and
nervousness. My condition was truly pitiable.
''The doctor warned that the coffee drank
WAS chiefly responsible for this condition and or
dered me to drink buttermtlk instead But de-
spised bustermilk and could not bring myself to
use It.
Then was advised to Try Postum Food Coffee.
Il has completely renovated and made over my
whole system. The saiutary effect ON my poor
stomach was simply marvellous. and that strairht-
ened out the headaches. nervousness and other
troubles soon vanished. For more than year

An Interesting Old Map.

A curious old map was recently present.
ed to the Navy Department by Lieut. J.
F. Meiggs retired). now with the Carne-
gle Company. 1t formerly belonged to Miss
Meiggs, a granddaughter of Admiral John
Rogers, who made a celebrated cruise after
British vessels in the North Atlantic from
June, 1912, to. December, 1913. 1t presents
some curious illustrations of old geography.
The ocean is named Atlantic or Western
ocean" because Liverpool sailors always
so referred to It, AS compared with the
latest maps the relic is remarkable for the
accuracy of its coast lines. The arctic re-
gion is shown to the 74th degree. Green
land, which is placed a few degrees west
of it's actual location, Is shown with two
channels or canals through it from west
to east which do not actually exist, but
were marked as closed to navigation by
ice The course of Admiral Rogers on the
President is shown to Bear and Bird island.
northern coast of Nova Scotia is ac-
curately drawn, but it is noticed that recent
explorations in that region have resulted
in establishing the fact that the land to
the north is not multitude of islands, as
shown on the old map but peninsula OF
the American continent In the early days
of the nineteenth century 1t was reason
able for the explorers in their hasty trips
to conclude that the cliffs surrounded by
ice were islands. but more careful investi-
CATION has shown that they are mainland.
James Island Is shown separated from
Greenland by Davis Straits, and the latter
from Prince William Land by Baffins
strait. Cumberland island is shown where
1t Is now a peninsula, and separated from
Cumberland island by Cumberland strait
is Good Fortune island. and below Good
Fortune bay, to the south of the island
of that name, are a number of islands des-
ignated isles of Gods Mercy" and to
the west of Good Fortune island and sep
arated by Bear sound Is Gods Mercy IS
land"
The map is also interesting and valuable
because ii bears the record of sounffings
made nearly one hundred years ago The
Gulf stream Is represented in the shape of
comet with its head off the Florida coast
and Its tail Increasing fan-shaped In the
direction of Great Britain.

Internal Commerce Breaks Record.

According to report is-ued by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor the ag-
gregate volume of internal commerce dur
ing 1905 was undoubtedly the largest for
any corresponding period in the history OF

1.-THE greatly increased activities in the
iron, steel and copper industries were par
ticularly worthy of note, having caused

Mr., Beveridge. the great state maker of

in the experience of the late George w.
Jones. "the Father of Iowa" Senator
Jones was great charaeter--a typical pio-
neer and empire builder-and his life was
full of useful acts as well as exciting adj
ventures. He wrote the bill that made
Iowa a territory, and also the bill that
made it state. He served Iowa in the
House of Representatives and was its first
senator: he was major general in the
Black Hawk war. he was delegate to
Congress from Michigan; he was clerk of
the United States court in Missouri; he was
surveyor general of the northwest territory;
the civil war. was imprisoned in Fort War

watching the trend of affairs, admit
that the usual sources of political
representation are all but worthless.
Party lines have been broken as sell
dom before. Mr.. Hughes has been
making a special plea for Democratic
support, declaring himself to be free
from political obligation to any person
or thing and asserting that the plat
form on which he stands Is broad
enough to welcome the support of "all
good citizens who desire clean and
honest administration at Albany"
Mr.. Hearst has attacked the trusts"
and boss rule" and through his In
dependence league he is claiming the
support of many Republicans. Mr..
Hearst has been attacked by his OPP
ponent "for having taken the hand Of
boss to secure the Democratic nomi-
nation" and the alleged "Hearst-Mur-
ply DEAF has been the subject of nu-
merous Republican speeches.
Mr.. Hughes has charged that money
was lavishly used to secure control Of
the Democratic convention at Buffalo,"
and he has cited the tumult of that po
litical gathering "as an evidence Of
what might be expected at Albany in
the event Of the success Of Hearst. and
Hearstism." Mr.. Hughes has made
much of the fact that prominent "old
line Democrats" among them John N.

openly deserted the Democratic ticket
5and have urged others of the party to
follow their example.
