NO NEGOTIATIONS
 BY THE COMPANIES
General Manager NalIy of the Postal Telegraph Company Says They
 Consider the Strike Over.

New York September 3.-(Special)- Vice President and General Manager Nal ly of the Postal Telegraph Cable com pany, when asked concerning the publica- ton of the statements to the effect that negotiations were pending looking to bringing about q settlement of the teie- gra phers' strike, replied:
 ''rhe statements which are being made by the strike leaders that there are ne- gotiati6ns pending. or influences at work, or pressure being brought to bear on the telegraph companies to bring about a settlement of the strike through compro- mise or otherwise are untrue, and their recurrence from day to day in one shape or another is simply for the sole pur- pose of misleading the men and buoying them up with false hopes, which can never be realized. We consider the strike is over, hence what is the need of fur ther negotiations? l can only repeat what 1 have reiterated before that we will deal with such of our old men who in- dividually apply for work so long as we have places for them and as we are add ing to our force by the employment of outsiders every day the longer our former employees delay putting in their applica- tions the less show they will have of getting back to their old positions.
 Il say this sorrowfuly. too, because there are many of the old men whom we have highly prized, but We cannot with justice to the men who have stood by us. discharge any of them in order to make place for striker"

HEMORRHO|DS SORESAND ECZEMA
Accompanied by Terrible Itching ACompIicated and Most Distress ing Case -WeII-known Remedies Failed to Cure-Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary-Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
 WONDERFUL EFFICACY

"I am now eighty years old and one morning, three years ago, I was taken with hard pain in my right side. In two days l had an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor gave me some medicine and an ointment for them which helped me some but had to keep using them all remedy; but if I did not use it every day, I would get worse. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. At this time, about year ago, l went to using the S-- remedies. tried them for four or five months but did not get much help for my piles. During this time sores would come on a feshy part of my body. They bothered me all another would come. These sores changed to eczema, accompanied by a terrible itching. It seemed as if I could not keep my hands from tearing my flesh. This and the pile trouble brought on an infamed condition. Then I got the Cuticura Remedies. 1 washed the affected parts with Cuticura at noon, and at night, then used Cuti- cura Ointment on the irritated sur faces and injected quantity of Cuti- cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sup pository Syringe. I also took Cuti- cura Resolvent Pills three times day. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly. healthy state and then treated myself once day for three months and, after that, once or twice week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti- cura. The treatments had tried took lot of money that 1 would have saved by using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but l am wiser now. 1 am supplied with full set of the Cuticura Remedies and would, not feel safe without them.

F.. s. Calvert, of the accountant depart ment of the weather bureau department of Washington, completed his examination of the Anniston weather station yesterday evening and 1t has been accepted as completed, with one or two exceptions. the greatest of which is a slight change in the radiators. Mr. Calvert left this morning for Birmingham, where he will complete the examina cion of a station in that city He authorized several improve ments for the local station. including velvet finish vanishing on the interior, additional equipment and exterior i'm provements.

Referring again to the United States census reports. page 127. it is found that of all the twelve states in what Is known as the Northern Central" group Kansas had in 1890 absolutely the largest ratio of convicts to population. As against the increase in Kansas, Nebraska. Ohio. Illi- nois and Michigan show substantial de- ereases in the number of convicts. In view of these facts 1t was well said by the warden of t,e Kansas state prison. Hon. w. C, Jones; Prohibition Is neither q wise nor an effective way to promote temperance or prevent erime.'
 It is the almost unanimous testimony of those whose lives have ben spent in the observation and guardianship of con Vcts that criminals are not as a rule addicted to drink but rather that pro- fesslonal criminals shun it in the first place depriving them of the coolness. nerve and self-control necessary to the accomplishment of their purpose. and in the second place because indulgence in drink would lead eo discovery.
 The following tables give the number of indictments found by the grand juries in the wet and dry" counties of Mis- sissipoi at the last sitting prior to De- oember l. 1903, The figures are from off cial sources.

 The aggregate population of the wet counties is 250304. They. therefore, had one indictment for every 1l22 of popula- tion.
 As shown by the grand jury reports. therefore the number of crimes was over % percent gerater in the Dry" counties counties.

A CLERGYMANS INVESTIGATIONS.
 The Rev Henry C. Kinney, rector of Holy Trinity church. Chicago. writing to the Chicago Sunday Tribune" says:
 "I have taken the census returns of 120 cities of the United States, the number of saloons to the population of each. the number of arrests for drunkenness and for crime. and I am prepared to say have no relation to the number of saloons in them
 ''I took eleven cities. for instance which had no licensed saloons and having 8 total population of 6oo,155 As against these I set of five cities having a total of 75l. s84 inhabitants. and with an aver age of 55 saloons to each 10000 of popula- tion.
 Tn the first group. having no licensed saloons and 15l.0O0 fewer people, l found average of 202 arrests for drunk and disorderly conduct in each 10000 of popu- lation. against HE in the 1000 in the group of cities having licensed saloons. In each 1000 population in the unlicensed group there were 94 s2 more arrests for drunkenness and 4.23 more arrests for crime than l found where liquor was licensed in many places.
 'I have taken official figures only, and present results that cost me most of my surplus time through period of two months. l have only to say to them that they prove beyond challenge that there is no traceable connection between ths number of saloons in the cities and the crime records of those places "s

Compiled from the L. & Census ReportsD
 Prohibit the liquor traffic and crime will cease Is the war cry of prohibition. The question thus becomes pertinent: Has the number of convictions for crime decreased in states which have been under prohibition?
 Maine New Hampshire and Vermont have been under prohibitory laws longer than any other states. and continuously. and in them may be expected the fullest fruition of that policy. Referring to the United States census reports. the nuinper of conviots in each of these states at each census from 1850 to 1890 Is found to oe as follows:
