National Unrest

attend the Eucharistic Congress at Mont
real. declared in an interview to-day that
much Of the existing unrest throughout
the United States. which is hampering the
progress OF the country at the present
time. is due 70 the too common lack of
economy by the present generation and
the desire for too many luxuries and ex-
travagances.
"rhe people believe he said. that they
must have automobiles, must 20 to the
theaters. must have various kinds of
amusements. and must have many things.
more or less expensive, without which
their fathers and grandfathers got along
well enough and prOspered. This desire
prevents a sensible conservation OF the
peoples resources.
Common sense treatment of the So
called Ills Of which people of this coun-
try are complaining will result. The
people will find. in their Importance be-
ing greatly reduced.

Alarm Sent Out for Fort
Washington Soldiers.

Dashing down the ramparts Of Fort
Washington under the fire OF a dozen
guards. two military prisoners last night
made daring escape from. the guard
house, and are being sought by the War

escaped the running fire from the fort
guards.
The Jail delivery was discovered at the
mess call Details Of the escape are
meager. but 1t is believed the two prison.
ers in some way eluded the guards in
their corridor and so made their way
to the outside. As they left the Jail
the guard az the outside post saw them
lodging behind a bluff, which conceals a
part of the fertilization. and the alarm
was given.
Guards Open Fire.
A dozen guards opened fire on the fee
ing prisoners. while detail was ordered
out In chase. The bank at this point
drops sharply 10 the waters edge. and
when the detail was able to get to the
scene the men had escaped around
point in the river, headed toward Alex
andria. Telephone communication was at
once obtained with Chief Of Police Goods
and with Lieut. Hartley night chief OF
detectives at police headquarters in
Washington.
The officials at the fort were able 10
give but a meager description of the men.
One, said 80 be the fnstigator OF
a wholesale jail delivery plot about a
year ago, is named Gooding. and is de-
scribed as being about feet inches tall
and weighing about $50 pounds.
Ills Name Not known.
The name Of the second man Is not
known, and the only description is that
furnished by the guards. who said he
was Of slender build. It is not known
whether the escaped prisoners are in
army uniform or citizens clothes. Both
are supposed 10 be wearing campaign
hats

Fort Hunt, on the opposite side Of the
river. We're ordered out TO scour the

turkeys used in the absence of presentday facili-
ties for transport to be driven long distances on
the roads, couple Of noble sportsmen laid
ger as to the speed of turkeys and geese over
course which it would take a matter Of days to
traverse. Each nobleman provided with a
little flock Of four Of the fowls of his fancy, and
of course betting high in favor of the tur-
keys. And at first they seemed to justify their
hackers for they stalked away from their
waddling rivals and left them far behind SO
things went all day. but dusk came on the
aristocratic turkey herd found his charges becom-
ing passive resisters and displaying an 1ncurable
desire to go to roost-no amount of coaxing would
propel them farther Meanwhile the despised
geese, with whom night and day were not Of any
very great Importance, waddled sedately past and
ultimately won the race with plenty to spare 1t
was pretty nearly the old tale of the hare and
tortoise over again, in fact.
I have known the farmyard bully pretty we'll
bested on two occasions myself-tragicay so,
in fact. One Of the most valued possession Of the
Calcutta animal dealer have mentioned was
fawn- colored European bred turkey, whose color
much commended it in his eyes, since turkeys OF
this hue seem not to be found in India. This
privileged fowl used to circulate about his mas
ters chair, strutting and gobbling; and though he
often resented the entrance of natives into the
compound he respected Europeans, piece of dis
elimination does not expect in being of such
limited intelligence as a turkey. Another inmate
of the menagerie young cassoWary, and he
wrought the turkeys DOWNFALL; for coming into
the compound day, missed the ginger-hued
gobbler, and asked what had become of him.
"Ah, my poor turzey," said the dealer; che
gave cheek tc the cassowary, and the cassowary
kicked him and burst his bag!" It sounded If
the impudent bird had been collapse like toy
balloon. but l did not inquire into details
The dealer however, consoled himself with
pair of local turkeys or the ordinary dark color,
and the gobbler was beginning to take the place
of his deceased predecessor in the economy Of the

PLACE WHERE PITT LIVEL
Noted English Statesman's Home
Where 1t Is Said Britain Really
Lost America.

London.-North End Place which
was recently sold at public auction
should be an object of great interest
to Americans. Perhaps if William
Pitt. earl of Chatham, had not re
tired to this fine old-fashioned resi-
dence, but remained at the head OF
his political party, the Boston tea
duties never would have been imposed
and the English flag might now be
flying over the whole North American
continent.
In 1867, when the great statesman
was seized with an unaccountable i'll.
ness, he shut himself up in this house.
His last days here have a wonderful
resemblance to the closing chapter of
Stevenson's story, Or. Jekyll and Mr..

ministers, Pitt did not put in an ap,

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day. have found a better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead OF ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about TWEEN
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart l was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-
ton
The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action Of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then l became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. | formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum | am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

most Of his time he spent completely

1863 he removed to Elmira and after
his admission to the bar the following
year rose rapidly in his profession.
He soon entered politics and his adj

life. In 1864 he became city attorney

was elected mayor In 1882 he was
elected lieutenant governor and on

Hill succeeded him and rounded out
the term. In 1885 and again in 1888
he was elected governor, serving in

the history Of the state. In 1891 he
was elected United States senator and
the following years was a candidate
for the presidency against Grover
Cleveland In the senate he played a
prominent part, chiefly in connection
with the proposed income tax law,
which he opposed strenuously. In
1894, against his wishes, he became
the Democratic candidate for COVER

the senate he withdrew practically
from politics and since then Mr.. Hill
