GLASGOW, November 5.-Since the OPEN

ming Of last month salmon anglers on the
Scottish rivers have suffered greatly from
the effects of the long spell of dry weather
which has been experienced In the north
country. Many Of the streams are far be-
low summer level. and fish cannot be in
duced to leave the river mouth, where they
are lying in large numbers waiting the ad-
vent Of a food to take them up to the
spawning beds.

MISS PARNELL IS

DUBLIN, November 5.-After almost fif-
teen years of exile, Miss Anna Parnell, sis
ter of Charles Stewart Parnell, Is at pres
ent in Ireland and is staying with friends
in one of the Dublin suburbs Miss Anna
Parnel is. intellectually, closer to her
brother Charles than any member of her
family. Her sister, Miss Fanny Parnell,
was a more enthusiastic nationalist, and
no one can ever forget her wonderful poem
about 1.-The Destiny Of Ireland, when she
anticipated only too soon, her own early
death, and asked:
Shall mine eyes behold thy glory
Oh. my country?
Miss Anna Parnell had not so contnu-
ously identified herself with the national
movement as her younger sister; but that
she felt the same indignation or Swift
about the disagreement of Ireland by
England was fairly well known when. as
young girl, she took hold of the bride
of Lord Spencer's horse in Westmoreland
street, and asked him why he allowed poor
peasants in the west to be thrown on the
roadside.
The incident. at the time. created ire
mendous sensation. 1t was almost as if
bomb had exploded in the vaults of Dub
lin castle. or as If new Titus Oates con-
spiracy had been discovered. Since that
dramatic incident. Miss Parnel has not
taken any kind Of prominent part in con-
necton with Irish politics. but a letter
which she wrote a few years ago in con-
nection with the visit of Queen Victoria
showed that she still held the opinions of
the early eighties. when she was one of the
most energetic members of the Ladies'
Land League.
Miss Parnell visited Glasnevin three
months after the death of her brother, in
order to see his grave, and since then she
has not been in this country. There is
tradition among the survivors of the lit
erary staff of the Irish People newspa-

The trees are both much smaller than the Fox oak known
to nineteenth century people, but even there they show the
marks Of respectable age. In the time of Fox, the country
surrounding these oaks was rolling and beautifully wooded.
More than three hundred years have passed since that day,
and the little village has grown into a respectable town,
with level streets and rows upon rows of substantial build
ings, but even tho the Quaker cause has not %prospered as
its founder hoped while he lived, the two old oaks were
cherished for his sake, thru all the changes that time,
prosperity and progress brought, and great was the regret
when the last one finally succumbed to the decay of age.

MR.. RoosEvELT's AMBITION.
He Wants to be Senator When He
t#%' Ceases to be President. r1

= Washington, April 16.--Mr. Roose-
welt made known to some Of those
with whom he talked recently his am
bition is to represent the state OF
New York in the United States SEN
ate after he leaves the White House
in 1909. There is not the slightest
doubt in the minds of the president g
closest friends that he intends to ad-
here strictly to his announcement on
election night in November, 1904, that
in no circumstances would he serve
another term in his present Office. It
is assumed from what Mr.. Roosevelt
has said that he much prefers remain
ing in public life to becoming presi-
dent Of Harvard university.
Both the present senators from
New York are more than 70 years old,
and it is generally understood that
neither will stand for reelection. Mr..
Platt will cease to be senator Oh the
same day that Mr.. Roosevelt will
cease to be president, March 4, 1909;
while Mr.. Depew's term will expire OH
March 4, 1911. If he were elected to
succeed Mr.. Platt Mr.. Roosevelt
would be sworn in as senator, if he
so desired, OH the day Of his retire
ment from the presidency.
Upon his accession to the presi-
dency, in'1901, Mr.. Roosevelt was the
youngest man who had ever occupied
that Office. If he lives until the ex-
piration of his present, term he will
be only SO years old. He will then be
nearly 35 years younger than the
Nestor of the senate, Mr.. Pettus, of
Alabama.
John Quincy Adams served eight
terms in the house of representatives
after he had ceased to be president in
1920.

MUST HAVE CONTRACT.
Mr.. Childs on Mail Trains in The
Matter is in
The Air.

The connection between President
Childs, of the c., N. and l.. road and
the postoffice department in the mat
ter of mail service Oh the afternoon
train out of Columbia to Laurens has
not been short-circuited as might be
imagined from the delay in getting
the service started. Fact is the con-
nection has not yet been established,
although as far back as the first Of
March Postmaster Ensor made con-
tract for man to carry this mail be-
tween the postoffice and the old union
station OH Gervais street, from which
point this train starts out.
When he learned that the service
had been authorized DR.. Ensor took
the matter of contract up with the
second assistant postmaster with the
above result, and he suggested that
Mr.. Childs could get satisfactory re-
suits in the same way.
"I can't understand why the ser
vice is not started" said DR.. Ensor.
cit was authorized two months ago,
according to the newspapers, and ac-
cording to information that comes to
me from other sources. People are
running to me about the matter every
day. Columbia business men want to
know when the service is going to
start"
"It's all very well,' said Mr.
Childs to a Record man today, "to
talk about the business interests Of
Columbia needing such service, but
the c., N. and L. road does not be-
long to the city Of Columbia and cam
not be run in it's interest without COM
pensation. I have absolutely no con-
tract with the government to carry that
mail, and I am not going to start car
rying it until do have a favorable
contract. The only communication l
have had on the subject was from
Superintendent Terrell, Of the rail-
way mail service, who wrote from
Atlanta about two months ago to ask
whether could put mail Car OIL that
train. I answered that could. This
has been the extent Of the correspond
ence I have had OH the subject.
"No, I am not going to write to the
second assistant postmaster general
nor to anyone else. My experience
has been that it is best to let govern
ment officials come to you when they
want anything"
A committee from the chamber of
commerce was to meet and confer
with Superintendent Williams today
about the proposed change on the C
and G. line, but he is in Washington,
and the. conference had be to Temporal
rily postponed. H.
Washington, April 16.--Representa-
tive Lever called on Superintendent
White, Of the railway mail service,
today to ascertain the cause Of the
delay in putting on the mail service
on the c., N. and l.. road on the train
leaving Laurens for Columbia. The
records Of the department. show that
the service was ordered on March 1st,
and that the A. G. L. was callaed upon
by the department to furnish a mail
car for the purpose. 1t is found that
the cause for the delay is due to the
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-04-20

fact that the railway company as
yet has not found it convenient to
supply this car. But as soon as it
can be done the service will go into
operation. The department promises
to again call Oh the railroad company
to furnish this car. This is all that
can be done at this end of the line.
Mr.. Lever is very much annoyed at
what seems to be unreasonable delay
in getting service on which would be
of SO much benefit to so many people.
He also took up with Superintend-
ent White again the matter of having
service put on the evening train out
of Columbia for Augusta. This is tho
matter which Mr.. Lever and Senator
Tillman took up with the department
that district ih charge, and chat the
matter had been referred to Super
intendent Terrell, of Atlanta, who has
that district in charge, and that the
matter would be taken up for final
consideration when the report from
Mr.. Terrell reached the department.
Mr.. Lever is quite anxious to have a
mail clerk put OH this train. There
would be no trouble in getting lock-
pouch put on this train for each Of
the towns along the road which would
request it. This plan does not ap-
pear very strongly to Mr.. Lever, and
he feels the interest Of the service de-
mands clerk, and he is going to make
his fight for this.
