HUGHES WILL RETIRE.
1t Is the Opinion Of Several Poll
ticians.

New York, June 2.-There were a
few republican politicians in the city
today who expressed the belief that
Governor Hughes soon will let it be
known that he would prefer not to
have his name presented to the Chica-
go convention. These men are pledg-
ed to Hughes, but feel that the nomi-
nation of Secretary Taft is assured,
and are eager to get on the band wag-
on" Naturally, they would welcome
a release from the governor, and they
predicted that something along that
line might develop from conference
which the governor is to have tonight
at the Hotel Astor with General Stew
art l.. Woodruff.

Important Addition to Uncle Sans

Diplomatic Tact in compIi-

Washington.-Perha the most in
teresting newcomer OF the season in
ofncial circles at the American capital
is Lambros A. Coromilas. the lately
arrived minister from Greece. Aside
from the impressive personality of the
envoy selected by King George and
the significance of his mission here,
there is the further circumstance that
the new arrival from Athens is the
first resident minister ever sent to this
country by Greece and constitutes an
important addition to Uncle Sans Of
fetal foreign colony" which now in
cludes the representatives of. SO diff
ferent nations.
Although Greece has just sent, for
the first time, an accredited agent, to
be stationed at our seat of govern
ment. diplomatic relations were in
augurated long ago between this re-
public and the little kingdom on the
Mediterranean, and, indeed, the Unit
ed States has. for years past, been rep
resented in Greece by minister who
draws salary OF $4,000 per year. 1t
has constituted one of the few excep-
tions to the rule that Uncle Sam will
not delegate proxy to any capital
where the government does not return
the compliment in kind by stationing
an envoy at Washington.
Various influences have impelled the
Grecian authorities to seek closer re-
lations with the government of the
United States. One OF these is the

In the matter of imports from the

dent to have at Washington rep

has the degree of Phi. d. from the uni.
versity Of Tuebingen, Germany. and
studied in Paris at the school of po-
litical science.
He speaks English. if not exactly
fiuently, at least readily enough to
make himself understood and short
residence here will doubtless enable
him to supplement his present precise
and scholarly English with a knowl-
edge of our language fully equal to
his present mastery of French and
German.
AS might be expected of a scholarly
native of Greece, Mr.. Coromilas is
more than fond of history and that he
takes the deepest interest in modern
as well as ancient history will not ap-
pear surprising when it is explained
that he is the great-grandson of the
famous Greek patriot Coromilas, who
in the Greek war for independence in
1921 was captured by the Turks at
the battle of Camatirou and left i'm
paled for three days while efforts were
made to compel him to divulge infor-
nation regarding the movements of
the revolutionists.
Minister Coromilas has himself had
some wartime adventures, having
been captured by the Turks during the
eastern Roumelian trouble in 1886.
That the newly arrived Greek states
man is diplomat in the true sense of
the word may be appreciated from his
tactful showering of compliments up
on American women. He not only de-
clares American women wholly charm

existed greater resemblance between
the women of two different races than
between those of the United States
and the additionally beautiful Grecian

ters Not All Serene.

The chief clerk of the post office de-
partment at Washington recently sent
to all the postmasters in the country
a list Of questions asking for certain
information, says the New York Sun,
to be used in the preparation of the
government Blue Book. One of the
questions in the list was, What are
your marital ro3ations?"
The object of this particular ques-
tion was to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters did not understand, and
many answers were received in which
the persons addressed endeavored to
give clear and lucid explanation of
the status of their married life. One
postmaster briefly stated that his do
mestic affairs were Fine and dandy"

Engineers reported that the Missou-

so times the capacity of all the roads
running between the Mississippi river
and the lower Missouri, and more than
25 times the capacity of all the rail-
roads running from the Mississippi to
the Missouri at all points.
These engineers reported that max
ing the Missouri river navigable from
Sioux City to st. Louis would cost
less than paralleling any single rail-
road between these two points.
The navigable length of the Missouri
river is greater than the distance by
rail from st. Louis to San Francisco.
1t has a navigable length three times
as great as the entire length of the

as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in.
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart

For this reason the regular use of
coffee, soon or late, causes a condition
OF undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds Of organic disease.
Convinced Of this fact, I have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead Of coffee. At last found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using

have recommended Postum as a bev-
erage, since it is free from all injuri-
GUS or exciting substances. I know
