offices, not only because of our gen.

No UIterior Designs.
1--WE wish to act in these circum-
stances in the spirit Of the most earn
est and disinterested friendship. It
is our purpose in whatever we do or
propose in this perplexing and dis
t:essing situation not only to pay
the most scrupulous regard to the
sovereignty and independence of
Mexico-that we take as a matter of

every obligation Of right and honor
but also to give every possible evil
dence that We act in the interest of
Mexico alone and not in the interest
OF any person or body of persons who
may have personal or property claims
in Mexico which they may feel that
they have the right to press.
1--WE are seeking to counsel Mexico
for her own good and in the interest
Of her own peace, and not for any
other purpose whatever. The govern
ment of the United States would deem
itself discredited if it had any selfish
or Interior purpose in transactions
uhoro tho

Get Your Winter Supply of Stamps.

Carriers on the rural mail routes
are very sincerity hoping that all
patrons will provide themselves with
stamps beflre winter closes in. It is
unfair to ask carriers to pick pen
nies from mail boxes in cold weather.
Besides. the postal regulations protect
them from such imposition and direct
that all matter placed in boxes be
stamped ready for gathering by car
rier In the past drivers have been
very accommodating in respect to this
matter Of stamping mail for patrons.
Now, for the winter at least, they
ask return courtesy and Justice of
having people provide themselves
with stamps and place mail matter in
the boxes ready for gathering. They
will decline to take out pieces not
stamped If it is necessary to place
money in the mail box, enclose it in
an envelope or securely wrap it in a
piece of paper.
Just consider yourself driver for
one dsy in bleak weather. Imagine
how you would enjoy barring your
hand and thrusting it into a hundred
or more mail boxes after loose coins

FACE DEATH AT CRIBS
KEEPERS ON LAKE MICHIGAN
BATTLE TO SAVE LIVES.
Structures Off Chicago Are in Danger
of Being Swept Into Raging Wa
ters-AII Are Wrecked.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-During a terrific
storm that swept Lake IichigaA the
Carter Harrison, Lake View and Four
Mile cribs off Chicago were wrecked,
the heavy steel gates and thick plate
glass windows were smashed so that
the men inside had the lake itself to
fight with.
James Reardon, for twenty years
keeper of the Carter HARRISON crib,
said it was the worst storm he had
ever experienced. The gale-driven wa
tiers swept through the crib, carried
furniture into the lake and nearly
filled the basement where supplies are
stored.
In all three of the cribs a desper
ate battle was fought to prevent inter
ference with the city's water supply
by accidents to the intake gauges.
The situation was critical up until
midnight.
That gale tore through Chicago, do
ing much damage ashore and piling up
fourteen-foot waves CR the lake which
tore out great sections of land along
the lake front with a loss estimated
from $4,000 to several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Telegraph poles were torn down
through a section of the North side
mile across, street cars blockaded and
the streets filled with the deadly sput-
tering of live wires. Electric signs
and trees were thrown to the street.
New York, Nov. 10.-The first great
storm heralding the approach of win
ter is sweeping tonight over six
states. Wires are down in western
Pennsylvania, northern Ohio, western
Maryland, West Virginia, southern
Michigan and a small section of west
ern New York. Railroad and other
traffic is seriously hampered in west
ern Maryland, West Virginia, western
Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the fall
of snow has been especially heavy.
In passing the storm attained the
proportions of blizzard, the snow
fall breaking all records for Novem-
Der. Ten inches of snow had fallen
in the heart of Cleveland
Dispatches from Cumberland, Md,
report telephone and telegraph wires
down and railroads paralyzed in that
section of the state and eastern West
Virginia. The now is Is feet deep in
many places. Railroad cuts have
filed with drifts and one train on
the Western Maryland has been
stalled one mile east of Davis. Com
munication between Cumberland and
Elkins has been entirely cut off.

Increasing Carelessness on the Part Of
the Public in Addressing Mail.

A growing evil appears to exist
with the public in incompletely and
improperly addressing mail. The
delivery of letters in large cities is
frequently Delayed and Outlines
made impossible by the omission
of an important part OF the address,
such as street number or room
number when addressed to an office
building. Not infrequently the
name of the street is omitted,
only the name of the postoffice and
state being given.
Postmasters are requested to ad-
wise their patons that complete and
accurate addresses are essential to
prompt mail delivery. It is also
essential that the number of the
route be given when mail is in
tended to be delivered on rural
routes.

EGGS rs CENTS IN NEW YORK
Scarcity Brings Price Up to High
Mark for Best QuaIity-DeaIers
Plan to Import.

New York, Nov. 10.-Eggs are so
scarce in New York that dealers have
put the retail price up to IS cents a
dozen for the best quality, and pros
poets are that they will go from three
to five cents a dozen higher. The pres
ent wholesale price is sixty-two cents
a dozen, though certain brands Of
western eggs may be obtained for 43
cents a dozen. Failure of hens to lay
this year and a shortage in the cold
storage supply are given by dealers
as reasons for the scarcity. With the
tariff off on imported eggs many
wholesale dealers are planning to
bring eggs from abroad to relieve the
situation.

WOMEN TEACHERS ARE ANGRY
Resent Election of Men to All Offices
in Missouri Society-Majority of
Members Are Females.

ST. Louis, Nov. 10.-The election OF
men to all the offices in the Missouri
Teachers association started a con-
troversy among the delegates to the
annual state convention. Miss Emilia
c. Fruchte of st. Louis said the cleo
ton of the prepared slate was unfair.
You men on the platform all know
this slate of men officers is unfair,
she said. There has not been a
woman speaker on our program except
one, and she was called on to fill a
vacancy. Apparently you men are
afraid to divide the honors with wOm-

Miss Fruchte said 1000 of the 5000
members of the association were WON
en-, and that four-fifths of the expenses
of the association are paid by women.

Bill to Give Commerce Body

of Representative Sims of Tennessee,

The measure will propose that any

sion for permission before issuing new

does not agree with the contention
that congress has not the power to
regulate bond and stock sales of cor
