next succeeded, in accordance with the
desires of the meeting, and in his pc
culiar style, entertained the audience
at some length with marked attention
and with evident satisfaction.
Loud calls were then given for
Judge Lander, who, in reply, said that
he did not know that he could add any
thing to what had already been said,
but proceeded to observe, that the ques
ton of Pacific railway was the great
question of the day, and was happy to
be assured that Governor Stevens
would be able to make favorable re-
port of a northern route. He referred
to the immense advantage such work
would be, not only to our territory,
but to the whole Pacific Coast. He IL
Illustrated the unrivalled advantages
the Sound would afford as terminus
and, in an able manner, took a com
prehensive view of our relationship
with China, Japan, the Indies and ISL

the hope that Congress would act the
part of wisdom in the matter by de-
termining upon the northern route.

Secretary Mason-last, though not

speaking was concerned, in neat,
pithy, forcible and eloquent address,
which his friends in the States, who
understand his ready, offhand and mat
ter-of-fact manner Of delivery, would
readily appreciate, and which was in
lterrupted, at intervals, with loud ap-

| The meeting of the federal officers
with the governor was of the most cor

assume that Washington territory has

Pacific Coast, and model governor
one who will be the governor of the

CONTINUED from page H.

1.-THE presidency of the United States
is the most commanding pulpit in the
world. A president with the power of
saying anything as Woodrow Wilson
could say it would be bound to be a
parsonage of extraordinary influence.
Mr.. Wilson's ideas being what they are.
it is difficult to restrain the magma
ton from picturing the next president
as perhaps the most influential figure
in our national history.
His prime political principle being
to open public business to public par
ticipation, to substitute common coun-
sci for expert interested advice, his
gift of clear and persuasive statement
will be tremendous asset. Speaking
from the chair of Washington, Jeffer-
son and Lincoln with skill which no
other occupant of it ever commanded;
with both the desire to make partners
of all the people and the ability to ad
dress them with consummate art, 1t

type-a president largely Independent
of Congress, largely delivered from de-
pendence upon the customary necessi-
ties of politics, because of his direct
| relations with the men and women of
the country, the great body of citizen
ship.
1.-THE country is about to learn that
it has put into the White House a man
of outstanding individuality on many
sides. Mr.. Wilson is not merely man
of ability and judgment. His policies
are, the majority of the nation appar-
emily believe, sound; they are not es-
pecially novel, But the country has
yet to discover that underneath those
abilities of his which have commended
him to their SURFACES there is spirit
of originality, a philosophy out of the
ordinary. Most of those who have
come into contact with Mr.. Wilson
have felt the radiance of his person
ality-'a constant influence, peculiar
grace. 1t is not spirit or philoso-
ply that is violently self-assertive-it
is it's very essence not to be that-but
it Is distinct and individual, suifusing
all his acts and words with its genius

Telegranher,s Monument.

There will be marker unveiled at
Hartman, on the Erie, signifying
the place where the first train order
was sent from.
1t will resemble one huge slab
with an attractive pedestal and or
namental top. On the face of the
slab and beneath a semi-circular or
Gothic top there will be this in
scription:
From this station Charles Minot,
superintendent of the Erie Railroad
in 1851 issued the first train order
ever transmitted by telegraph read
ing Run to Goshen regardless of OPP
posing train
1t is almost incredible to those
who are aware of the extent to which
telegraphy is used to-day to know
that sixty years ago when poles were
being set up in Orange county the
linemen had to dispute the right OF
way with wild cats and panthers
To-day there are 10000 miles of COM
mercial and railroad wire and 5000
miles of signal wire or a total of 35,-
600 miles of wire between New York
and Chicago.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SPIT.

Splitting in either habit or the
result of disease. When you spit
you throw off saliva, secretions of the
mucous membrane or broken down
tissue. Saliva is used in digesting
food. Your body uses up energy to
manufacture it. 1t is therefore a
drain on your system to waste saliva
by splitting.
If you are in health, secretions of
the mucous membranes will be taken
up by the air. When an extra supply
is given off, it means that some germ
is present. Diphtheria, cold, in
fiuenZa, whooping cough and ton
silitis are among the germs then to
be found. Broken down tissue is to
be found in the sputum of consump-
tives and with it are the germs of
tuberculosis.
If everybody would cease splitting,
many of these diseases would prac-
tically disappear. Therefore, If it is
habit with you, stop it. If you do
it because of disease, use a paper
napkin. Above all things don't spit
in your home, in trolley cars or any
place where your doing so will make
others suffer.

New York-Connecticut League.

Port Jervis Is to be in the New
York-Connecticut baseball league IL
the plans eventuate. The league was
formally organized at a meeting at
Poughkeepsie on Thursday after
noon. On Friday. Thomas Donovan,
who represents Newburgh, and C. A..
Van Allen, of Albany, who was dele
gated to represent Middletown in the
league, visited Middletown and en-
deavored to stir up fandom there.
While in that city they telephoned
to ID. r. Thomas, Supt. of the Trac-
tion CO., who controls the baseball
park and made arrangements for the
park and the organization of team
in that city. 1t is believed a team
can be put in the field from Port
Jervis that will at least be able
to beat Middletown.
The league as at present made UP
includes Port Jervis, Middletown,
Newburgh, Kingston, Poughkeepsie
and Danbury. Meriden and Norwalk
also desire to enter the league which
would then constitute an eight-club
body. The compactness of the route
make carfares easy.
1t was decided to call the organi-
cation the New York-Connecticut
League" The salary limit per team
was placed at S 200 per month. The
league is to prepare schedule and
open the season on May II. A
guarantee of $40 a game to visiting
teams, or they can have their choice
of that sum or 40 per cent. of the
gate receipts. Holidays will be
split evenly. Umpires are to be paid
SIS a game.

the same quantity of lard Take care
that the saucepan in which you put the
chicken is of a good size. Cover the

size and eight potatoes the size of a
pigeons egg. Season it with salt and
pepper and continue the cooking at a
slow fire for thirty-five to forty min
Utes. At this point the chicken and
vegetables should be well cooked and
have taken on fine rich brown color.
Arrange the chicken on dish and
surround it with all the vegetables and
keep it warm. Pour three to four ta-
blespoonfuls of hot water in the sauce
pan. stir it carefully so as to set free

Many Athletes In Olympic Games.
The victories of American athletes
in past Olympian games have been SO
consistent that every other competing
country is making special efforts to
break the chain of triumphs at the
coming games at Stockholm next
July. 1t is expected that entries for
the track and field events will be re-
ceived from close to twoscore nations
and subsidiary territories.
1t is evident, therefore. that the
American team for the 1912 Olympic
meet will have to be bigger and bet
ter than ever before in order to main
tain the supremacy and status achiev-
ed In the preceding games. Close fol-
lowers of athletics in this country be-
lleve that the mammoth meet of next
summer will be more closely contested
than ever before and that new Olym-
pic records will be established in a
number Of events.
