TUCKER WANTED 70 BE JUDGE.

Richmond, Va, July 9.--Judgc
William Hodges Mann called a sharp
turn on Harry Tucker in the mat
ter of political records last night,
when in thd course of a speech at
Scottsville he charged that Mr..
Tucker had sought the appoint
ment of Judge of the United States
Court for the Western District upon
the death Of Judge John Paul in
the fall of 1901, and that for rea-
son Of policy he had withdrawn the
record of that application from the
files of the Department of Justice
the following. Judge Mann said in
this connection:
Mr.. Tucker has been trying to
create the false impression that L
voted the Readjuster ticketin 1879,
and in consequence was elected
Judge of Nottoway County Court,
thereby receiving my title asjudge,
to quote one of of his newspapers.
l was twice elected county judge of
Nottoway by democratic leglsla-
lures before the Readjusters came
into power, and once by the demo-
Gratis afterward. l voted against
the Readjuster candidates who
were elected to the house and SEN
ate from Notloway, and they so
strongly opposed my election that
they refused to place my name be-
fore either the house or senate.
But why did not Mr.. Tucker,
when speaking of judges, tell the
people of Virginia that in 1901 he
applied to a republican President
for appointment as United States
Judge for the Western District of
Virginia? This will doubtless sur
prise many of Mr.. fuckers demo-
cratic friends. And it is significant
that this occurred after 1896, and
during those eight years of absence
from the house Of his fathers ) A
man must have rendered some SER
vice in order to be entitled to a life
position of the highest honor.
what reasons did Mr.. Tucker
give for asking this appointment?
We cannot tell. He has doubtless
destroyed the record.
"In 1902, when he again con-
templated becoming a candidate
for Congress, he went to Washing
ton and withdrew his application
and Endorsements from the files of
the Department of Jnstice. Why
did he withdraw those papers, and
what reasons did they give for urg-
ing his appointment? | wonder if
they told of his disloyalty to the
democratic party, and distributing
republican campaign documents
under his frank as a member of
Congress in 1896. They would
doubtless prove interesting reading
for the democrats of Virginia"

PETROLEUM BUTTER.

Chicago, July PA special from
Alton, Ill.,, to the Record Herald
says: The first roll of petroleum
butter, the Standard Oils latest
product, is to be turned out at
Wood River refinery near here.
Preparations are being made to
manufacture the product here and
the machinery has been shipped.
The new product will be known
as petroleum butter. It's said to
be of the same consistency as local
butter, but brown in color. II
lasts a good deal longer than but
ter, it is said, and does not become
rancid.

Pretty Good Fishino.

A sportsman was once on the beach
at the outlet Of creek In New York
state looking for shore birds when he
saw a colored boy, who was fishing
for perch, lay down his pole at the
call Of his mother to do some errand.
The sportsman put his gun aside and
took the cane pole and fished, adding
dozen perch to the boys string and
then sneaked off, Presently second
sportsman, happening that way, asked
the boy the usual question and re-
ceived this answer:
"Yess'r, dey's good fshin' heah.

EYE DON'TS

Don't buy glasses as you would
shoes; they should be fitted by
an optician.
Don't wear other peoples glasses;
they were probably fitted for
other troubles than yours.
Don't let some cheap fakir tamper
with your eyes; call on a legiti-
mate optician who has an office
or regular place of business.
Don't wear blue or colored glasses.
They may seem to give relief,
but are really injurious. The
man that prescribes them should
be able to give more beneficial
results with clear glasses. We
can.

Thirty automobiles started yes
terday morning from Detroit in the
sixth annual Glidden tour of the
American Automobile Association.
Their destination is Kansas City,
MO-, and the route is by way of
Chicago, minneapolis and Denver.
The distance is 1886 miles. Speed,
of course, is a factor in this contest,
but the quality to which the great
est Importance will be attached is
the reliability of the competing cars,
their capacity to run long distances
without repairs. This is, therefore,
test of the endurance of the au-
tomobile of it's practical usefulness
under conditions which make the
test very eXacting one. while
the Ghdden tour furnishes oppor-
tunities for good, clean sport and
is therefore of general interest for
that reason, it is equally interest
ing in another view, because it puts
a premium upon thorough con-
struction, excellence of material
and good workmanship.
The growth of the automobile in
dustry in the United States in the
last few years has been really phe-
nomenal. In 1909, according to
an estimate recently published, the
automobile factories in this coun-
try will turn out about 70, 900 cars,
and it is stated that even this enor-
nous output will not be sufficient
to meet the public demand. The
output for the season of 1910, it is
believed, will far exceed that of
this year. That the industry is
prospecting wonderfully is the testi-
mony of the most conservative ele-
ments in the trade. Important
plants are being enlarged and new
factories are springing up. 1t is
estimated that the industry will
soon represent business of $780,
100000 year and that the limit
of it's development is not yet in
sight,
Unquestionably the automobile
has come to stay. 1t has long
since outgrown the stage when it
was considered a luxury. In some
ways it has now become a necessi-
by, and its use is widespread. In
The West, as well as in the East, it
S growing more and more popular,
md If the industry continues to de-
1elop in the future as rapidly as it
las in the past and on the same
cale, the United States may be-
ome pre,eminently the nation of

The Diplomatic Service.

The United States is at last about to conform to the usage of other civilized countries in it's methods of constituting a diplomatic corps. Indeed. if the plan outlined by the president in his mes- sage be faithfully adhered to 1t should give us a very superior service. It contemplates not only such an exami- nation as will insure mental capacity and thorough equipment. but as far as possible those personal qualities with out which brains and learning avail but little. Original appointments will be only to the lowest grades, with the in tention of promoting up to the grade of minister by careful selection.
 There is no profession which de- mands so much of a man in It's higher walks. To be an accomplished and suc- cessful diplomat man must be a gen. tleman and a man of the world. genial and adaptable. and at the same time with a dignity of character and of per- son which makes him a fit representa- tive of his country. He ought to be skilled in languages, and thoroughly versed in history, political science, art and polite literature, for the position will bring him in contact with the most highly educated and intellectual people wherever he goes. and he must expect to be stationed at many posts. While not standing in the close rela- tion to commerce which consuls occu- py he must be well informed in re- gard to the general currents of trade and the demand of home and foreign markets and familiar with the laws, both domestic and foreign, affecting Post.

Rush Week at Postoffies.

At the local postoffice the Christmas business was the largest in the history of the office. The whole force from Postmaster Dimmick down to the jam itor feel it in their bones the rush of work during the week. The sending away money orders, drafts, domestic and foreign, exceeds any previous Christmas week. as well as packages and other mailing pieces. The sale of stamps alone proves some of the vol ume of business done, no less than 10000 one-cent stamps being disposed of during the week. Of this number there were sold over 5000 each Thurs day and Friday, which went largely on the postage of postcards. Two-cent stamps also ran into the thousands sold. Stamps of larger denomination also had big call. The incoming mail fairly swamped the carriers tables and although a double horse team and the full force of substitute carriers worked hard Thursday, Friday and Christmas forenoon, there was some still left over. The regular carriers made one morn ing trip Christmas. The office closed during the afternoon, but opened in the evening from to o'clock.

Buried in the worst snowstorm in half a dozen years. this section of east ern Connecticut will try to get back to a normal condition this morning. Sum day witnessed the worst tieup of trafic in years The trolley road was blocked between Webster and Central Village during all of the day and not a car was able to get through until o'clock Sunday night, when one of the blows forced it's way from the fair ground to Putnam to Central Village. The snow is piled up in such drifts as are rarely to be seen in this section, and it will be several days before all the country roads are broken out. They were all practically impossible on Sunday and very few of the milkmen were able to cover their routes. Snow cling to every exposed surface. Tele- graph and telephone wires are carry ing tons of snow and the result on Sunday was a crippled service The steam road managed to get their reg ular number of Sunday trains through. but all were away off schedule and many holiday visitors are still snow bound. Trolley and steam roads will both be giving good service again to- day. Flows were kept running on the trolley road all Sunday night and cars will be running regularly this morn ing.

Something novel in the way of a worlds exposition is the international exposition of sports and games to be held at Frankfort, Germany, May 15 to July IS, 1910. The Festivities hall where the affair is to be held. appears to afford ideal facilities, the hall Itself being a vast and convenient structure, while in the adjoining grounds there is ample space for outdoor games, and the River Main, flowing through the grounds, is available for aquatic sports and contests. The list of ex- hibits and competitions is broadly comprehensive, embracing in addition to the conventional lawn, field and wa ter sports, Alpine mountain exercises, hunting, aviation. touring and travel- ing, under which head photography and optics are included; sanitary and life saving sports, including orthopedic and health gymnastic apparatus; objects of art having connection with sporting matters. and even toys. fer the games of children are to be represented as we'll as those of adults. Clubs, asso- citations, universities and schools are invited to cooperate. No doubt they will generally respond. as far as lies in their power, for the nature of the exposition Is such as to arouse the keenest interest in every quarter where sports and games claim attention Pfttsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
