City. who succeeded Allan l.. McDermott,
took up the matter of better postal facili-
ties for his home city, and before Congress
adiourns it is probable that he will see
the work which was started by the appro-
priation of s325.O00 for a site well under
way. Mr. Hslnlll had q satisfactory inter-
view with the supervising architect, James
Knox Taylor, and also interviewed some
of the members OF the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds. Mr.. Hamill
realized that the mere Introduction Of a
bill counted for little, but more could be
accomplished by obtaining the necessary
data and soliciting the influence Of the
members OF the committee first.

manded that the city pay the county some
money on account of the county taxes that
have been collected In Jersey City. Mr..
Ely said that he was not prepared to do
so right away, as he did not want to en-
barrass the incoming administration By
leaving an empty treasury.
County Collector Egan then served a
written demand on the City Treasurer for
the payment of the county's share of the
taxes already collected in the city. Mr..

read. Judge Wood granted the at

to himself, and rested. B demurred to
the evidence. What should be the de-
cision?"
We are inclined to believe that in view

shady deals in which he was involved,
the court would be justified in holding
that A was in some way responsible for
the fall of the building, and should sus-
tain the demurrer.

Battle With a Big Fish.

Chester Marcum. a farm hand near
West Auton, is exhibiting many sea RS
and a fifty-pound catfish to bolster up
a story of a fierce hand-to-f1n battle
which he claims took place a few days
ago in the shallow shore waters of
the Missouri river.
According to Marcum's story, he
was fishing in the Missouri with a
75-foot throw line, and when he had
cast it out into the deep water for the
seventh time he felt mighty pull and
began drawing his catch in toward the
bank.
After he had drawn the fish to the
shallow water near shore the line
broke. He promptly leaped into the
pool and grasped the ffsh's fins. The
cat couldn't swim with ease in that
depth but it struggled and threw
Marcum down, submerging him. He
rose undaunted and renewed the battle
with bleeding hands. After fifteen
minutes of fierce struggling he was
victor. He dragged the fish to the
bank, rested half an hour. and then
took it to West Alton.-St. Louis Dis
patch to New York World.

Aside from these opening words in
his speech Secretary Taft confined him
self strictly to his topic, but in these
opening sentences he replied to the
challenge from w. ]. Bryan the day
before. 1.-The distinguished citizen of

Of this country said Mr.. Taft, for the
constitutional fault finder. Basing his
conclusions on the reports of the en-
BlneeTS MT. 1dII Sd1Q the canal would
be finished in seven years.
The secretary's voice was husky
from a recent cold. and he had some
difficulty at first in making himself
heard. He persistently avoided refer
ences to the presidency, further than
to reiterate his statement concerning
the story of his possible withdrawal
from the contest.
Many people greeted the secretary
as the next president during the day.
Mr.. Taft received the salutation with
a smile.
The secretary, accompanied by W.
Y. Morgan. H. J. Allen and delega-
lions of statesmen left for the east
at AIS.
Last night Congressman Scott, whose
subject, 1.-The Panama Canal" had
been borrowed by Secretary Taft, ad-
dressed a big audience on the subject
Of the Philippines, showing views of
the islands. The congressman was in
the crowd on the depot platform to
greet Secretary Taft upon the party's
arrival.
Hello, scotty," said the secretary,
slapping the congressman on the back.
