GAME OF post"

The exciting game Of Post" may be
played by an unlimited number, and is
particularly adapted for a large party.
One of the players. called 'the post
man. has his eyes bandaged, as in
blind mans buff; another volunteers to
fill the office of "postmaster-general."
and all the rest seat themselves round
the room. Al the commencement Of
the game the postmaster assigns t.
each player the name of a town, a ld
If the players are numerous he write
the names given 10 them on a slip If
paper, in case his memory should fail
him. These preliminaries having been
arranged, the blind postman is placed
in the centre of the room, and the
postmaster-general retirss to some
snug corner whence he can overlook
the other players. When this important
functionary calls out the names of two
towns, thus New York to Philadel-
phia." the players who bear these
names must Immediately change seats,
and as they run from one side of the
room to another the postman tries to
capture them. If the postman can sue
coed in catching one of the players, or
If he can manage to sit down on an
empty chair, the player that Is caught
or excluded from his place becomes
postman. The postmaster-general is
not changed throughout the game, I'M
less he gets tired of his office. When a
player remains seated after his name
has been called he must pay a forfeit.
or II the game Is played without for
telts he must go to the bottom of the
class, which Is represented by a par
tlcular chair, and to make room for
him al 1.-The players who were formerly
below him shift their places.

 panions of the same nationality, boast ed of a conspiracy, the object of which was to take the life of the former resi- dent general of Korea in satisfaction for the alleged tyrany Nof the prince over Koreans. As the police bounced upon the three Koreans, the one who did the shooting exclaimed dramatical- ": T came to Ha-bin for the sole pur- pose of assassinating Prince Ito to avengs my country
 None of the three Koreans attempt ed to escape and calmly confessed that they had conspired against the life of 9"Aace Ito. The assassin, while claim ing t5 have been inspired by a patri- otic motive and to believe that Jap anese wrongs to Koreans justified his act, admitted under examination that he had a personal grudge against the Japanese statesman.
 Police Protection Insufficient
 It had been supposed that the police protection for the prince were ade- quate. but the police stated later that they were unable to distinguish the Koreans among so many Japanese who had been admitted to the railway sta- tion to welcome the prince The Russian police stated that the Japan csc consul general had requested them to permit entrance to the station of all Japanese who sought admission. A great crowd gathered, among them be- Ing the three Koreans whose nation- ality passed undetected.

SENATOR McARREWS FUNERAL,
 ACCIDENT IN CEMETERY.
Stone Monument Overturned by the
 Crowd-Woman Injured.

New York, Oct 26.-A multitude of mourners, forming the largest funeral procession ever seen in Brooklyn. fol- lowed the body of the late Senator Patrick H. McCarren today from his
 old home to the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, where services were held. and from the church to Calvary cemetery,
 his last resting place.
 Political friends and foes alike of the dead democratic leader attended the funeral.
 One hundred and ten senators and assemblymen of the state legislature. of which the dead leader was long a member. headed by lieutenant Gov ernor Horace Whitey attended the funeral in body Several of the jus tices of the supreme court adjourned coutr for the day and attended the services.
 Mayor Mcclellan and the heads of the New York city departments were among the pallbearers. Charles F. Murphy the Tammany Hall leader and the entire executive and general comn1ittee of that organization, had place in the funeral march. The funeral procession, which moved from the home of the senator's aged moth- CT, was headed by thirty mounted po- licemen and 250 patrolInen. and po- hcemen were stationed at short inter- vals along the line of march. A score of civic. fraternal and political organ- izations marched with the cortege.
 The services at the church were sim pie, the Rev. Thomas E. Carroll, pas tor of St. Vincent de Paul. was the eel ebrant of the requiem mass. and the Rev. Edward J. McCarty of St. Au- gustine's church delivered the eulogy. Two-t thirds of the church was reserv- ed for those in the fuenral procession.
 At the cemetery. which is on Long Island, the crush was so great that a heavy stone monument was overturn- ed, seriously injuring Mrs. Ellen Nc, Connaghy of Brooklyn, who was pin ned underneath it. When the shaft was raised off her body she was un- conscious and was hurried to a hos pital, suffering from internal injur- ies.
 When Senator McCarren's coffin was borne from the hearse to the grave it was preceded by the honorary pail bearers, among whom was William J. Corners of Buffalo, chairman Of the | democratic state committee. The body was laid to rest in the McCarren plot. where the senator's wife and five chill dren are buried.

TRADE UNION CRITICISM
 ANSWERED BY GoMPERs.
Ex-President Eliot Lives in an Age He
 Does Not Understand.

Washington. Oct. 26. Former President Eliot Of Harvard has now nothing to occupy him but to talk: hc lives in an age he does not under stand said Samuel Gompers presi- dent Of the American Federation of Labor. in a statement Issued tonight in reply Co pr. Eliot's criticisms of trade unionism at Kenyon college. Ohio last night
 Since the time Dr. Eliot was mem tally capable of appreciating industrial and commercial conditions. develop ment has gone on." continued Mir. Gompers. "The concentration of ln- dustry, in which combinations. cor porations and trusts have dei -.-ped. have all escaped him in so far as con- cerns their influence upon the indi- viduality of the workers. The division, sub- division and specialization of la Dor has rendered the workers abso- lutely helpless individually. and it is only by association in trade unions and federations that the toilers can obtain scme of the rights which as individuals they are totally unable to maintain.
 "The organizations Of labor of today are the best defenders of the rights of the workers and the promoters of real democracy. The labor organizations will carry on their mission despite the misunderstanding and consequent hos tility of Dr. Eliot They will live long after he and I are gone"

SUIT AGAINST HATTERs' UNION.
Abstracts from Gompers' Deposition Read-Union Label and Boycotts.

Hartford, Oct 26.-Ahstracts from dispositions made by President Comp CTS of the American Federation of Labor and by Secretary Morrison of the same organization, together with excerpts from the Federalist and oth- CT labor publications, occupied the at tention of the jury today in the suit Of D. E. Loewe of Danbury against z40 members of the Hatters' unon of this state.
 The Gompers contribution was in the sol m of a sketch of the American Federation of Labor, prepared in 1904. It gave an account of the labor press throughout the country, and contain- ed list of labor journals. The de- position of Secretary Morrison gave an account of how the United Hatters of North America became affiliated with the American Federation of La bor.
 Attorney Davenport continued to read for the enlightenment of the jury reports of convention dongs relative to boycott. Again and again the att torneys for the defense raised ohjec- tions, but the court invariably admit ted the testimony either in whole or in part. The committee on labels and boycotts at the federation convention in 1896 reported that it was not only the duty of the union men to buy arti- 'cles having the union label but to see that their wives and families did like wise

 Commander Tillman has been on the Mississippi river for four years, and knows it's possibilities, its diculties, its disappointments, and its vagaries. The president is hopeful that some plan can be devised by which at least ten feet of water can be secured at all seasons. He saw today however. many caving banks. evidences of how the channel constantly is undergoing rad ical changes and how the piecemeal work of improvement in the past has gone for naught
 In the three brief speeches he deliv- cred with husky voice today at Cape Mo. at Cairo. H., and at Hickman, Mir Taft reiterated his po- sition in favor of deep waterways wherever it can be demonstrated that the plans for improvement are feas- ible, are necessary and can be carried to completion without a too great ex- penditure of money
 At Cairo the president was followed by Speaker Cannon who declared that he approved President Taft's declara- tion in nearly every particular. and wished he could approve them all He still balks. however. at the presidents to issue bonrs to carry for ward the work of improvement. once it has been decided upon.
