CONGRESSMAN MAYNARD, OF the Nor
folk district, in explaining to his con-
stituents last week the reason he had
offered a bill to increase the salary OF
the President from $50, 900 10 500, 900,
said the President received a much
greater sum thau the last mentioned
when all the perquisites were taken into
consideration, and that his object was TO
give the President salary sufficient for
him to pay his own expenses and to cut
off the extras. If Mr.. Maynarfs
bill had become a law and the President
been required to comply strictly to its
provisions the country would have saved
money, as will be seen by the following
itimized statement OF the expenses OF the
President
The salary of the President is $50, 600.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, Sept. 8
Labor Day is being observed here by
many people as holiday. All the de-
partments are closed, as are many OF the
public offices and stores. The regatta
at Georgetown attracted large crowd,
as did also The ball games, etc. Large
numbers OF people left the city TO spend
the day, and many Alexandrians were
seen on the streets here.

The Northwest Passage.

London, Sept. 3.-The northwest pas
sage, for which intrepid sesmen have
searched in vain for centuries, has at
last been discovered, according TO the
correspondent of the Central News at
Christisnia, who wires today that the
Norwegian polar expedition under Cap
tain Amundsen, which sailed aboard the
exploring ship Gjoa has reached Behring
sea. The Gjoa expedition sailed from
Christiania on June IL, 1908. Captain
Amundsen's purpose was not to make
another effort to force the long dreamed
off northwest passage, but to search for
the magnetic pole. II the report from
Christiania that the Gjoa has reached
Behriug sea is true, he has apparently
stumbled on the passage through the
northwestern seas, or purposely voyaged
ia that direction after concluding the
search for the magnetic pole. q.

MR.. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan made several speeches Sat-
urday in which he sharply attacked his
critics in his own party.
Before three score prominent demo.
Gratis of New York city and two demo-
cratic governors of StaIes he delivered
himself of speech which was considered
by its hearers as being at the same lime
a vindication of his political opinions
and defiance to possible insurgents in the
party.
He said: 81 tell you now. gentlemen,
that would rather have the approval OF
my own conscience than the approva OF
al the people in the United States. 1.-THE
politicians do not agree with my course,
il worries me little; the people that |
W; ut to convince are the voters OF this
country and not the politicians who pre-
tend to dictatesto these voters while in
reality they truckle to them.
"Some of my enemies say am rich;
that belong to the moneyed classes. |
have a long string of clippings at home
showing how much money I've got.
Well, gentlemen, l give those clippings
to my wife and she goes down TO the
store and gets credit on them. The re-
publican party has amended the COM
maudment to read. Thou shalt not
steal on a small scale.
In Jersey City Mr.. Bryan said he
would insist that no man connected with
a corporation be permitted to serve with
the demo cratic organization or be demo-
cratic candidate for public Office.
Mr. Bryan and Governor Folk met
aud arranged TO talk thiEgs over.
PRECEDENT Rooseyelps popularity he
attributed to his having followed out
democratic policies.
Mr.. Bryan was asked yesterday to ex-
plain further the statements made BY
him at the dinner given him by news
paper men on Saturday night to the effect
that.he had known five years before the
Insurance investigation that the big COM
panies involved were folIo~ing irregular
practices.
Seventeen years ago." he replied, "a
New York newspaper man told me
enough about the irregularities tina. he
knew TO be going on in the conduct OF
the business of the Big Four to lead me
to withdraw the insurance | carried with
one OF those companies and place it else
where. believe that more than half
of the men who sat down to dinner with
me last night knew FIVE years sgo that
the big companies had interlocked and
we're making fortunes by the shifting of
the funds.
Mr.. Bryan left New York for his home

New York, Sept. S.-Wolf We
l05 years old, danced at the wedd

Schecter, who was married yesten
afternoon to Max Senken. The patria Pc
circled the room with his arm aroU I'd

grandchildren, eighteen grandchildren
and four Of his own children, one son
past eighty and who looked older than
his father. The great.grandfather did
not astonish by his 1sncing his descend
ants. He came to this country Is years
ago, and although well on to ninety
passed easily for sixty. After he was
uinety-five Wolf Weisman's mind was
bright and clear and ne used no artific-
ial aid for bis vision. He was wrinkled
and bent, but his powers of endurance
were extraordinary and in his hundredth
year ten mile walk was an ordinary
exercise. Wolf Weisman said after the
dance, as he pstied a fifteen year old
great-granddaughter on the cheek, that
he would dance at her wedding two
years hence.

Dynamited Itallans stronghold.

Punksutswney Pa, Sept S.--rhs
bloodiest fight in which the state con-
stsbulary has thus far engaged came TO
an end at four o'clock this morning,
when stronghold in which Italian men,
bers of the supposed Black Hand had
taken refuge was dynamited and then
burned to the ground. But before this dy-
Mantle chapter Of tragedy at Florence,
q mining town seven miles from here,
was enacted, three lives had been shot out
and fourth was hanging in the balance.
Captain Robinson arrived late in the
night and it was determined 6nally to
dynamite the house in which the Italians
were thought to have good supply of
ammunition. A dozen sticks of the stuff
were secured sud bombardment of the
house fort began. Sticks of the explosive
were set of. The Italians continued to
fire on the constsbulsry until finally one
corner of the house had been shattered
sufficiently to permit of frebrand being
thrown in. The firing ceased, suggesting
that the house was deserted or that its
occupants had been killed or wounded.
Believing this to be the case Capt Rob
