MyENToR OF SHIRT WAIST.
Women of the Nation Owe UnpayabIs
 Debt to Her.

Women of the Nation Owe UnpayabIs
 Debt to Her.
 Cleveland Leader.
 Josefa Osborn is dead. and if the women of the nation. of the whole world for the mater of that. only knew their unpayable indebtedness to her they would wear mourning bands on their arms for thirty days and get extra allowances from their husbands and fathers and brothers to raise glorious monument over her bones. All the women's clubs, too, from Zanes- vile to Zanzibar would drape their halls and put suitable resolutions of their great loss on their minutes.
 Mrs. Osborn invented the feminine shirt waist.
 According to the consensus of feminine opinions no single article of feminine wear and feminine deeora- tion has ever equaled the shirt~R waist. It Is at once the most comfortable. the most becoming. and the most adapt able article in my lady's wardrobe. It is capable of being drawn out to any extent like an accordion. It Is for nal and it's informal. and everything that lies between. It is suitable for anything from a seance with the cook ing stove to a reception at the Get rocks with a footman at tho front door.
 It's genesis was simple. Mrs. Os- born saw her husbands soft shirts and envied them. From that as one who has 8 surface knowledge of the sex will testify, 1t was but a step to an- nexation. Mrs. osborn went to the man who supplied her husband and told him that she wished a half dozen shirts built on the regulation mascu- line working plans save slight diver gencies here and there and with a de- cided curtailment in their length. He dernurred; she insisted. and she won.
 She wore them herself; she gave them to her patrons, for she was the most famous dressmaker in New York, and from them sprung the millions of shirt waists that have covered and made attractive the women of the world.
 Mrs. Osborn was a wonderful woman in many ways. With no experience and only the. necessity for action to inspire her. she left the ranks of New York's Four Hundred and with only sS.500 to start with built up a bush ness that took an entire building, em- ployed $50 persons, and enabled her to leave an estate of fully half a mil- Hon.

PASSING OF THE MARINES.

How the PresIdent's Order is Regarded
 by The New York Herald.
 New York World.
 President Roosevelt's order to with draw the marines from the warships might as well be an order abolishing the force. bill to the latter effect was introduced in Congress few years ago, but was buried when the gallant record of the marine corps was presented eloquently to the House.
 Naval officers have long objected to the presence of marines on board their ships. The antipathy of the sailors to searoinR soldiers runs still further back and is traceable to one of the original offices, of the marines--that of doing police duty on the ships and of preventing the organization of mutineers. Go tell 1t to the marinesl" an expression of common usage. had its origin in the contempt of the sail or men for the ships infantry.
 In the British navy the marine corps was established in 1884 and has been several times abolished and restored. The institution of the corps in the United States service dates from June. l776, and there has never been a discs tablshment, though the marines prac- tically disappeared for the period fol- lowing the Revolution. when the navy also faded away.
 Our marines have fought gapantly in China, Japan. Korea, the Bahamas. Tripoli. Egypt, Sumatra. Peru. and Hawaii. Some of them were at New Orleans with Jackson. They distin guished themselves at Chepultepec In the Mexican war. and later hoisted their colors in the City of Mexico They kept the peace at Panama in 1885 and were the bodyguard of the present republic of Panama at its birth. In the Spanish war they did yeoman's service. Nineteen times they have received the thanks of Congress-

RECORD POSTAL DEFICIT SHOWN
According to Report of Postmaster
General 1t Is $16, 1878, 222.

According to Report of Postmaster
General 1t Is $16,S73,222
In his annual report for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1905, Postmaster
General Meyer gives the total receipts
for theMear as $191.47S,663, and ex-
penditures are S20S.351 1856, thereby
showing a deficit of S16,S73,222, the
largest in the history of the depart
ment, with an additional loss from fire,
burglary. etc, of 37,056. The deficit
of 1909. it is estimated, again will eX-
coed $16.0C0.000. Attention is particu-
larry called to a number of improve
ments in business methods of the de-
partment as tending to its advantage
and the saving of considerable amounts.
The necessity for good roads is point
ed out in connection with the develop
ment OF the rural free delivery service.
Ii is suggested that should Congress
grant the department authority to
utilize rural routes still further by the
establishment of limited parcels post,
confined entirely to rural delivery
routes. it would then be possible to earn
additional revenue amounting to mil
lions of dollars and at the same time
benefit the farmer by enabling him to
have merchandise delivered when or
dered by telephone orpostal card which
otherwise would not be purchased.

END CT TOBACCO WAR.
Trust Yields to GroWsIs' organiza-
ton and Lawlessness Will Cease.

After years of fighting. involving the
depredations of night riders. the Amer
lean Tobacco Trust has closed d deal
with the Burley Tobacco Society. its I'M
relenting foe for five years, involving
the sum of S14.Oo0.Ooo and S0.000.o00
pounds of hurley tobacco. Practically
all of the money will be put into circu-
lation at once in Central Kentucky, and
after a long period OF self-enforced pow
erty. that part of the State producing
Durley tobacco once more will be pros
porous. The transaction also marks an
unusual situation in the United States.
In that great corporation has been
worsted by band of humble, but de-
termined farmers.
The Burley Tobacco Society is an
organization that comprises about fifty
FIVE counties in the northern and cen
trail portion of Kentucky, and has in its
membership all tobacco raisers. These
growers pooled all of their crops Of
1906 and 1907, and the organization
was controlled exactly like any corpor-
officers and an executive Joard.
For years previous t. the time the
farmers organized, the American To
bacco Company had been driving out
competition and setting price upon to-
bacco from their offices In New York.
and had not for four or five years al
lowed the farmer practically any profit
for raising the weed, never paying
more than or cents pound as an
average.
The tobacco growers. knowing that
the trust was realizing at least from
40 cents to 81 for the Burley tobacco
after it was manufactured for consump-
ton, decided as a last resort, to organ
ize against trust prices. This they did,
with the result that by the recent deal
they received an average OF nearly 10
cents pound for their tobacco thus
attesting they have gained their point
This was done by curtailing the pro-
duction and not raising a crop this
year.
Lawlessness was brought about ia
several counties of the hurley district
because farmers refused to go in the
pool and wanted to take advantage of
the high prices paid by the Independent
buyers and raise a crop To hot-head-
ed members of the Burley society this
brought about much disorder, as these
obstinate farmers were either forced
into the pool by threats or duly pun
ished, either by violence to person or
to their property While the officers
and leading members of the Burley So
ciety frowned upon these acts of law
lessness, they, in manner, nodded con-
sent to some of the depredations that
were committed.
