Williams Writes.

Messrs Geo l.. Dexter & Co:
 Dear Sirs-About month ago l wrote you for package of Dr Ames' Specific for dyspepsia and constipa- tion, which you are selling at half price and wish to thank you for your promptness in sending 1t. l have given it a thorough trial and can say it is the best preparation of the kind on the market. have suffered with dyspepsia and constipation for years and have never found anything like these pleasant little tablets. You cannot recommend them too highly for they are most excellent. have a sister in the Adirondacks who has always been troubled with dyspepsia and she has never found anything to help her. 1 wrote and told her of the great benefit the Specific had been to me and she wants me to send her a package at once.
 am so we'll pleased with the great change the Specific has made in my case that I recommend them to ev- eryone hear complaining of dyspep- sia and constipation.
 Enclosed find stamps to pay for two packages of Dr Ames' Specific, one for my sister and one for myself.
 Yours truly,

American harvests for this year will be the largest on record" says a bulletin issued by the department of commerce and labor It says the harvest of winter wheat will reach 4s3,434.O00 bushels; spring wheat. 27S,S3O, ,000 bushels. The total corn crop is estimated at 2,713,1s4. 900 bushels. Now is the time for one set of campaign orators to point with pride" to this evidence of great prosperity, and claim that 1t is due solely and alone to the republican system of protection, and to the pro- gressive and strenuous administra- ton of President Roosevelt. and for the orators of the other persuasion to lay the whole responsibility for the great harvest on Providence. says Washington writer. Neither set of orators will ever think of telling their constituents that the figures are the merest guess work. and may miss the correct result of the harvest by many million bushels. It has often been said that figures can't lie. but that remark has no reference to the
 figures put out by professional statistician. Less than half a dozen years ago the department of agricuI- ture missed the true yield of wheat by about s0.oOO. 900 bushels. placing the figures that much too high The result vas that thousands of farmers were led to sell their wheat at a very low price. because of the proposed large yield. To make figures for the government and issue them gives em- pIoyment to quite a large force. but it is not safe to rely on their accu- rscy.

BURGLAR WAS POLITE.
Met by Woman He Had Robbed. He
 Helped Her Into Her Flat.

Nerve and assurance got a level headed burglar out of tight hole Monday afternoon, says the Hartford Courant, when he was caught leav- ing the fiat of Mrs Perkins at No 10 Governor street with about $1OO worth of jewelry. Mrs Perkins and the police are still looking for a po- lite burglar described as tall, hand some and with a pleasing smile" who after robbing the occupant of the fiat, met her as he was leaving the place and instead of taking to his heels passed himself off as caller and spent several minutes helping Mrs Perkins up the steps of her home with a baby carriage.
 Mrs Perkins had been shopping and was just ascending the stairs leading to her apartments on the second floor when she saw a man standing at the door of her rooms.
 'I beg your pardon. but could you tell me if a Mrs Bronson lives here?" asked the man. raising his hat, as soon as he saw Mrs Perkins.
 Mrs Perkins replied that no such person lived in the building and the polite gentleman was about to take his leave when he noticed Mrs Per kins struggling up the stairs with a baby carriage. Before Mrs Perkins could protest he took the carriage in his arms and carried it up the stairs. He assisted her to open her door and then took his leave. Mrs Perkins found as soon as she got into her place that the polite gentleman was evidently a Rallies on a small scale as he had made a clean sweep of all the valuables in the place. Bureau drawers were pulled out and the con- tents turned topsy-turvy, closets and sideboards had been ransacked and general overhauling of the apart ment had taken place. Missing were gold watch and chain, several dollars in money. several stick pins. gold charms and other small trinkets aggregating about s1OO In value. Apartments on the top floor of the building were treated the same way. but little of any value was taken. No trace of the man has been found.

If the Connecticut republicans keep the pretty row that is now, under way agoing until after election day the democrats will be very, very thankful. But will they? There is , whip with a long lash in the re- publican party and it has done eff fective work on many occasions in making the balky ones get into the traces, and it will be used vigorously again unless the headstrong fellows fall in line. Senator Paige, if he is quoted correctly, threatens all sorts of things, and the Hartford bunch" as we'll as our own congressman are the particular targets he is aiming at just now. It is merry war and in these dull times for reporters makes good reading matter for those who like it. 8.

. With the arrival in the United
 States of William J. Bryan, the, pres idential situation has been accentu- ated in interest. For the moment, the candidacy of other distinguished citi- zens for the highest office in the gift of the American people has been lost sight of MT Bryan's reception in his home country, after his tour of practically the civilized world ex- ceeded in magnitude of enthusiasm that of any private American citizen. Delegations of his friends and parti- sans from all parts of the country as- sembled in New York yesterday and to-day to do him honor. They felt that he Is the one man in the demo- cratic party most likely again to be honored by nomination for the presidency. His nomination is not yet assured, but it is so nearly so that his friends throughout the coun- try are building their hopes to the pinnacle on his success as they see it..

 A story comes from Marion, O., Of man being struck twice by light ming while tacking down carpet and talking to his wife of their hap py home. The story won't stand in spection.

One of the great cries, both in American political and industrial life, has been for wider markets. For this. purpose, or rather to aid in open- ing new markets to our manufac- lures, and to the products of our farms, the government has expended untold sums of money in one way or another and all consuls and con- sular agents are required to make frequent reports, and the informa- tion thus obtained Is issued in bull letin form by the department of com- merce and labor, the bulletins being sent to the press and to all others interested in such matters. Notwith- standing all the efforts of the gov ernment, American manufacturers are very slow to take advantage of the markets that are opened for them. Take Egypt as one example. Our trade with that country has been for several years growing beautifully less." and in 1905 the total value of American manufac- tured goods sent to Egypt was only $600.000. The department of com merce and labor has called the att tention of American manufacturers to the great loss fin the trade with Egypt, and suggests that the manu- lecturers combine and send a com mission to Egypt to make a thorough investigation and study of that mar ket, and the requirements necessary to widen and extend our trade with that country.

DEATH OF MICHAEL pAvlTr.
Great Irish Statesman and Patriot Dies
at Dublin.

Dublin.-A notable career closed
wednesday night, when. after long
and painful illness, Michael Davitt
died peacefully and painlessly at -
O'Clock in the presence of his e'dest
son, Michael, and his two daughters,
who had devotedly attended him
through his illness, and of many of his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon.
me greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society during
Mr.. Davitts illness.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations for ne
crosls of the jawbone, and spread so
rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course were unavailing
DaVitt's chief claim to distinction
rests on the fact that he founded the
irish Land League, the greatest agra
ran organization of modern times. AS
rather of the Land league, he became
the popular idol of the Irish people.
He was noted as an orator.
In 1865 he became a member of the
Fenian Brotherhood the result being
that in 1870 he was sentenced to ff-
teen years penal servitude. After
serving seven years of the sentence he
was released on "ticket of leave"
and two years later, supplied with
FUNDS from the United States, he be-
gan an anti-landlord crusade in Ire
land, which ended in the formation of
the Irish Land League.
shortly after the league was formed
ne went to America to organize an aux
1llary association. He was rearrested
shortly after his return in 1881 and
Sent back to penal servitude, where he
remained little less than a year. For
sedltlous speech against the British
government he was again imprisoned,
thls time for three months, in 1888.
he was first elected a member of
farllament while a prisoner in the
Portland convict house in 1882, but
was disqualified by special vote of
the House of Commons because he
mad not completed his term. Again
elected in 1892 from Meath, he was
unseated by a petition.
Inc same year Davitt was returned
unopposed by Cork, but was forced to
resign in 1898, owing to bankruptcy
arising from proceedings in the peti-
ton, which he had fought against as
long as ne was able to obtain funds.
A few years later he set out on =
tour oil Australia and the southern
British colonies. While travelling he
was informed of his return to the
House OF Commons, again unopposed.
from East Curry and South Mayo. He
at once returned, serving continuously
becoming famous as the Irish leader.
TIL 1899. when he resigned and went
on a tour of the world.
AS an author Michael Davitt is
known for his Leaves From Prison
Diary" published in 1885; Defense
OF the Land League" 1891. and 1.-THE
Boer Fight for Freedom" 1902.

PREseYTERIANs UNITE.
Joined in Presbyterian Church Of the
United States.

Des Moines.-"I do snlemply declare
and here publicly announce that the
basis of reunion and union is now in
full force and effect and that the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church is now
reunited with the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America as one
church"
With these words uttered before the
General Assembly Thursday, May Gath,
Moderator Hunter Corbett officially es-
tablished the union of the Cumberland
Church with the Presbyterian Church
In America.
The big ecclesiastical assemblage
burst into storm Of rejoicing. Hand
clapping, cheers and waving Of hand
kerchiefs gave expression to unalloyed
pleasure. The contamination devoutly
wished and worked for through many
years, despite many obstacles, had be-
come reality.
The only men who voted against
union were DR.. William Laurie OF

MEAT INSPECTION BILL.
InGorsed by the President, Who Gives
Packers Warninq.

Washington-An important confer
ence was held at the White House re-
garding the meat inspection amend
ment of Senator Beveridge of Indiana
to the agricultural appropriation bill
The President discussed the ques-
tlon with Senator Carter of Montana
and Professor Charles p. Neill, com.
missioner of labor, who investigated
certain packing houses and later talked
over the matter with Senator Bever-
idge.
At the conclusion of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the Presidents
attitude:
THE meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers and
their friends who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The Presi-
dent says that if the amendment is en-
acted into law he will be content to
remedy the evils complained of
through the law.
If, however, the amendment is de-
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to Congress the reports
in his possession relating to the abuses
,tAiotiuS Ill iHe pdcklHS houses. lie
feels that it is better to refrain from
making the reports public, not through
any regard for the beef packers par
iticularly, but because an official state.
ment of the facts would iniure the
stock raisers of the country, thus MAX
ing them innocent victims of line OF
abuses for which they were not pri-
marily in any sense responsible.
THE only answer that can be made
to the consumers of our meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of
law through which an efficient and suf-
ficient inspection shall be made"
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for more time in which TO
consider the amendment.
"One Of the principal questions
which they are considering" he said,
sis whether they or the government
shall pay for the inspection service.
1t seems foregone conclusion that
they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work"
Senator Beveridge points out that
the expense viii not exceed cents on
carcass of beef and cents on car
cass of hog. The aggregate of expense
will be probably S1,500,000 a year, it
will be so widely distributed that it
will not fall as burden on the pack
ers.
