CONGRESS MEETS
IN A SHORT TIME

" "ohih VII, " ", NOV. 10
That another session of congress is
almost here is brought home to us
by the arrival of senators and rep
resentatives daily, to get settled
Tor the winter, and to attend to
various matters of interest to their
constituents.
With the president and his cabi-
net back from their summer wander
ings, things have taken on a lively
aspect around h white house.
The president is reported to be hard
at work on his message to congress,
and 1T Is understood that the secre.
tary OF the Interior is acting as his
chief advisor on this matter. That
Mr.. Fisher is a conservatlonist, and
that he spent some time in Alaska
last summer, seem to be grounds for
the belief that he will make some
radical recommendations, which the
president will adopt, for the dispos
al ofpubllc lands, including "natur-
al resources" in the United States
and also in the territory of Alaska.
Congressman Needham of Cali.
fornia, was one of the first of the
far western members to put in an
appearance. He has been watching
the progress of the investigation by
the Remsen referee board of the
use of sulphur in curing fruit, IN
which his constituents are much in.
terested, as they claim it is possible
to cure fruit properly without max,
ing use of the sulphur process. He
is also prepared to make a hard |
tight TO keep the tariff on agricul-
tural products unimpaired. He
claims that without the reasonable
tariff now existing on the products
of California fields and orchards,
the people of his state would suffer
irreparable loss. Congressman
Needham is also interested In the
resolution granting official recogni.
lion of the San Diego exposition.
At~the special session last summer
ne helped to secure the pSssage of
his resolution in the house. lis
low before the senate and has eX-
,eIlent prospects of being passed.
The bill authorizes and requests the
president to invite the nations of
Mexico, Central and South America
10 make exhibits at the Panama
California international eXpositions
at San Diego in 1915. There is
believed to be no opposition to the
passage of this bill in the senate.
Opinions as to the net results Of
the coming session Of congress yarv
not a little. Some of the statesmen
already in Washington believe that
congress will pass practically no
legislation. Others are just as GER
tain that it will delve deeply INTO
tariff legislation. 1t is not very |
probable that congress will transact
very much business, as both parties
will probably feel disposed to go
ahead with much caution on the eve
Of big political campaign, in Or
der to make as few mistakes as pos
sible. The currency will receive a
good deal of attention, and an effort
will be made to adopt the Aldrich
plan for central bank. The demo-
Gratis are disposed to abolish the
commerce court, which they accuse
of beng too strongly biased in IA
vor of the transportation interests
They declare unequivocally that
they have "got its goat" as the
sporting editors say. The advo.
Gates of waterway Improvement will
try to have a definite policy adopt
ed, and the trust busters are due for
a lot of anti corporation talk.

BREED THEATER.

Wonderfully attractive motion pie lures of the usual high grade served fc bring out large audiences at boSh performances at the Breed yesterday. and certainly one has to stop, look and listen in order to be convinced that the pictures are not the genuine drama being enacted in person instead of a silent drama being projected upon a screen. so perfect are they. Countless elderly people who have hitherto been unable to witness motion picture en- fertainment without unpleasant and painful after effects are seen at the Breed at. every change of pictures. many of them remaining through both evening performances. This is fact well known to the regular patrons, who are in distinct accord with these older ones who declare the pictures to he the finest lighted. smoothest run ming and altogether the most natural motion pictures they have ever seen.
 Conspicuous on the bill is tha stu rendous story of Havana entitled A Case of High Treason. This is an Edison masterpiece and overfOwing with pure drama of the high class and magnificent scenery and acting.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

Tt Is we'll established axiom that the best way to take risks is to avoid them And when you buy a suit or overcost the way to avoid taking a risk as to the quality of the material, look for the trademark of the maker No concern that makes pure all wool mems woolens is ashamed to so label t. For instance. the Earnsdale Wor- sted company produces all pure virgin wool worsteds of an excellent type. And they stand right back of every yard made by placing their seal of guarantee on it. It is their guarantee your protection against adu1teration fn woolsn fabrics. When you ask your ciothier or tailor for a sui tor overcoat made from Earnsdale worsteds you cannot be deceived. because the seal of the makers guarantee is on the. cloth or suit. The long service the way the suit or overcoat made of these goods will stand up. the style the hang and the retention of shape until the garment is discarded will surely seem worth the trouble of specifying Earnsdale all pure virgin wool wor- steds- For further enlightenment on the subject you better write to Earns dale Worsted Co, Clinton. Mass. for free copy of "Adulteration of Woolen Fabrics"

AVIATOR DROPS PACKAGE
 ON BIG SHIP OLYMPIC.
Merchandise Delivered from Point 25o
 Feet Above the Vessel

New York, June 2s.-The first piece of merchandise ever delievered at sea by aeroplane fell on the upper deck of the giant White Star liner Olympic to- day as she steamed through the Mar rows, outward bound on her maiden eastward passage.
 w. Atlee Burpee of Philadelphia had contracted for delivery before sailing with a New York and Philadelphia de- partment store, which in turn engaged the services of Thomas Sopwith, the English aviator, who recently took up Henry w. Taft, the presidents brother, for a sky ride.
 With Richard R. Sinclair, secretary of the Aero club, holding the package, SOpwith rose from the aviation grounds at Garden City. sped out to the Olympic as she bore ponderously down the Hudson, timed his flight 10 meet her in the Narrows, and set his course over land and sea.
 Even from the pier end, passengers on the Olympic are no more than ami mated dots of white and black to those on shore. Presently there was to be seen among those dots a scurrying to and fro, as of bits of paper blown by the wind. Sopwith had been sighted bearing down on them from aloft Working nearer and nearer. he circled the ship as low as he dared, lowered overhead for an instant, and then made Dack Tor shore, landing safely on the grounds of the Crescent Athletic club at Bay Ridge, as he had planned.
 While SOpwith controlled the aero plane. Sinclair dropped the package at the given signal. No word came from on board of whether it had landed or not. but those in nearby craft and to the aviator it seemed certain that it had fallen true.
 We descended to a height of about 25O feet above the Olympic said Sop with after the landing, and I an posi- tive the package reached it's owner. We felt no disturbance worth speaking of from the ships hot breath pouring from her great funnels-only a slight ratification of the air. what we call a williewaq or pocket, that caused us to dip perhaps twenty feet"
