THE FOUNDING
OF OHIO
Rutland Celebrates as the States
Cradle.

RUTLAND, MASS, Sept 14.-(Spec-
ial )-EXercises of more than ordinary
interest, together with an historical
pageant, were held here today under
the auspices of the Rufus Putnam
Memorial Association to commemorate
the events that led UP to the found
ing and settlement OF Jne State OF
Ohio.
Rutland is known historically as
the Cradle of Ohio" for here lived
General Putnam who planned and ma
tured the Ohio Company, which went
out into the then wild western cOun-
try and settled the town of Marietta
in 1888. Putnams old house here
still stands, the house from which was
issued the call for the convention
which led to the organization of the
Ohio Company and over the TIRES
hold of which the famous old sol
der went to lead that company to
the great Northwest. The house is
now a public memorial, with its rooms
admirably restored and filled with a
valuable historical collection.
Today's commemoration began this
morning with a representation of
the departure of Gen Putnam and
his party for Ohio. The party went
with three OK teams, two yokes of
oxen to each team, one two-horse car
riage and Gen. Putnam's saddle horse.
They took four COWS and one bull.
The party started from the Rufus Put
nam house and passed through the
village back, pausing for brief eX-
ercises before the church.
This afternoon public meeting
was held in Town hall at which Presi-
dent Carroll D. Wright of Clark Col
lege presided. The principal address
was given by Prof. James X. HOamer
on the subject of New England and
the West" His address was preceded
by words of greeting from representa-
tives of the Western Society of Bos-
ton and the Ohio Society of New
York.

Why should a school teacher be
pensioned any more than the clerk
in the dry goods store, the railroad
conductor, or the laborer on the
streets? There is entirely too much
tendency to load extra expenses of
this kind on the public, and the tax
payers are getting very weary of
philanthropy of this nature at their
expense. Let school teachers do as
other people do, insure themselves
against old age by taking out policies
maturing then, or by putting some
small savings in the bank each month,
They are better paid, in the cities
where pensions are proposed, than
almost any other class of labor for
the time put in. 1t is time to call a
halt on this idea Of pensioning every
body who happens to hold public
job. The public is carrying enough
burdens already

TRIAL OF CASES is
STOPPED FOR TIME
Bonded Cases in City Court Ta-
ken up October Fl.

The September term of City Court
convenes tomorrow, but will be cut
short in one week by adjournment for
a month, or until October 21st, at
which date the trial of bonded cases
will begin. Judge Crisp is constrained
to do this that farmers may not be
delayed just now in gathering their
crops, as would be the case if 200 or
300 negroes employed on plantations
were summoned to court just now as
witnesses or defendants. Judge Crisp
publishes a card elsewhere today in
which the order of court business is
fully set forth The trial of bonded
cases will be deferred until the date
mentioned, October q. Court will
be held this week only adjourning
from 23d inst. to Oct. 81, for the rea-
son stated.

er of Agriculture Thomas G. Hudson

fected by the law in regard to those

St. Paul Park Incident.

After drinking coffee for breakfast always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down.
 At other times had severe head aches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipa- tion. A lady, for many years State President of the w. c. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quit ting coffee and using Postum Food Cof- fee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said 1t was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum,
 Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble hav- ing been relieved after leaving off cof- fee and taking on Postum.

 Last month the Postmaster General of Canada and other officials of that administration, came to Washington for the purpose of further conference with the department on the question i'm volved which resulted in an agree ment to modify the postal treaty be- tween the two countries respecting the transmission of second-class mail. The department would have maintained gladly the existing postage rate and conditions, but Canada would not con- sent to a continuance. Two alterna- lives remained:
 'To allow the existing arrangements to expire May and thus revert to the conditions of the universal postal | union, namely, for, printed matter of all kinds, 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces; or to effect a compromise, namely, 1 cent for each four ounces or fraction of four ounces. but out of the weight. prepaid by stamps affixed.
 "The latter was the best arrangement that the department could obtain. Late last year, the announcement of Can ada of the proposed abrogation was given to the press and published eX- tensively and. as soon as the matter was definitely settled. official notice was promulgated"
