CAPT. CONEY'S FRIENDS
Now Control the G. A. R.-Morgan's
Report Discredited.

It now begins to appear that Captain P,
H. Coney's friends are in the saddle again
as regards G. A. R. affairs. The old row
has broken out again in the inner cham
Der of the council and as a result ex-
Commander w. A. Morgan will hereafter
have to conduct his fight on Captain
Coney without the aid or allotment of the
machinery of the G. A. r. organization.
Following the custom of the organization
Commander Morgan had issued the official
annual report of the work of the depart
ment. Included in thi~ report a part
thereof was circular containing lot
of barbed criticisms of Captain Coney, his
civil and war records and personal char
acteristics. This same circular had been
the cause of several suits for SANDER
against prominent members of the G. A.
r.
The council of administration at its re-
cent meeting decided not to allow this cir
cu1ar to become a part of the annual re-
port and instructed Mr.. Morgan to de-
tach the same from his report.
He declined to do SO, and now will have
to pay for the issuing Of the report him
self while the G.. A. r. will devote the
800 appropriation for this purpose to the
issuance of new report that will not
contain the alleged slanderous statements
about eX-Commander P. H. Coney.

Because your case is difficult one,

DO not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

many cases of female ills, such as in

pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner-

CLANDESTINE LETTERS.
Washington Postmaster Would Stop
Them by Forcing Local Delivery.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Believing
that the unrestricted use of the gem
eraI delivery window tends to corrupt
young women who thus carry on
clandestine correspondence, Post
master Barnes, of this city, following
the example set in Chicago day or
two ago, is endeavoring to devise
some method by which to enforce the
delivery of letters to the local address
of patrons, insofar as may be pos
ible. He is considering the advisa-
bility of restricting the delivery OF
mail at the general delivery window
to any one person to thirty days.
I'VE have considered the advisa-
bnity of certain changes in the SER
vice. the postmaster said yesterday
such as placing 80 day limit on in
dividuals who receive mail through
the general delivery, when they have
city addresses to which this mail
would be delivered. These people for
months at time have their mail sent
to the general delivery window often
under fictitious names, and if we
make a regulation which will allow
them the general privilege only a
month after that they would be COM
PEELED to have their mail sent to their
right addresses"
