strictly first class mail and to a weight
from 10 to 20 pounds. This, of course,
renders it useless as far as news
papers, magazines or merchandise mail
is concerned, or where there is much
letter mail. In such cases the fast
mail" must come to full stop while
the mail is loaded into the cars by
hand and from trucks.
Claim for Device.
With the thousands of mail cars in
use and the thousands of stations
where such stops must now be made,
the time lost because of the antiquated
equipment is incalculable. Under the
new automatic system 1t is claimed an
| express mail train could be run from
New York to SaE Francisco without
a stop except for coal and water, and
the cars could be loaded and unloaded
without the clerks going near the door.
In fact, their duties would be re-
ricted exclusively to asserting the
mail and preparing the bags for de-
livery on the trucks inside the cars
and taking care of the sacks of mail
when deposited in, the cars by the de-
vice. Everything else is absolutely au-
tomato.
The Hupp device has been demon
strated for some weeks past near
Washington, and the sdemonstra tions
have been witnessed by hundreds of
people including officials of the Post
office department.; members of con-
gress and particularly of the postof-
flee committees of The house and SEN
ate; representatives of railroads and
others including railway mail clerks.
The latter have naturally been deeply
interested, fora few are unaware of the
dangers to which they are exposed
from tossing out sacks of mail through
the car door while flying past d sta
ton or attending the capture of the
suspended pouch from the catcher
arm as it swings outside the swaying
car Many clerks are constantly on
the disabled list from such injuries
Not being phiIanthropists,. the Hupp
concern expects to make money from
the government but the plan proposed
is so novel as to floor the officials. In
stead of offering to sell the device TO the
government at high price, or charg-
inc an excessive rental, Albert Hupp
the inventor blandly says to the off
Gals and members of the congressional
committees: Gentlemen, you see Whas
We have; you see what it can do: and
YOU can figure out first how Inucn
money will be saved in postal clerk
hire and lost time, disabled employees
sick pay. and death benefits; how
much mail can be handled and how
much more expeditiously. We Will
equip the postal cars, We will build the
receiving troughS and install the
cranes; as many of them as are neces-
sary All we ask is a reasonable per-
centage of the saving and an allow
ance for increased facilities.
In other words, Mr. Hupp and his as
sociates propose to do all the work,
bear all the expenses of installation
and maintaining this service. and al

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt dises-
ton.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by plen-
~ of exercise but this latter is irk-
some to most elderly people. one
thing is certain, that state or con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and heaItn-
The best plan is to take mild laxa-
tie as often as is deemed necessary.
But with equal certainty it is suggest
ed that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be a shock to a delicate sys-
tenn.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing, is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pep
sin, which acts as nearly like nature
as is possible. In fact, the tendency
of this remedy is to strengthen the
stomach and bowel muscles and so
train them to act naturally again,
when medicines of all kinds can usu-
ally be dispensed with. This is the
opinion of many people of different
ages, among them Mr.. o. P. Miller,
Baroda, Mich, who writes; Il am 80
years old and have been constipated
for many years. Since receiving your
sample bottle I have procured two
soc bottles and find that it is the best

IT WAS A BIG SPREE.
Passing of the Old Astor House to
Make Way for Progress.

New York, May 3o.-The early morning
hours still saw crowds lingering in the
rotunda of the old Aston house, regardless
of the fact that the famous old downtown
Aotel had officially sealed its n years
history at midnight. At the invitation OF
the proprietor the throng helped clear the
old black walnut bar of its last drop of
Scotch and still they fingered to gather
glasses for souveniers, to sing and speak
all in all an exhibition of sentiment such
as Broadway seldom witnessed. 1t was
estimated that more than 10000 persons
surged in and out of the building during
the day and night.
The last person to register was Francis
J. Torrance, steamboat owner of Pitts
burg. Underneath his name the clerk
wrote ''finis.'' What was described in
1886 as 1.-The most commanding edifice in
America except the capitol at Washing
ton" will now come down so that Broad
site.

HE DIES BY FIRE.
After Being Twice Acquitted on
Charges of Murder.

Chicago, May 30.-Daniel Daley,
who pleaded insanity and was acquit-
ted of two murder charges, was
burned to death and fifty persons
were driven to the street early today
in two fires believed to be of incen-
diary origin.
Daley met his death in the loft of
a barn in South Halsted street. Fire
men found his charred body after sub
DUNG the blaze. Daley was tried II
years ago for the murder of a fellow
laborer and was prosecuted five years
later for the murder of his father.
He escaped punishment both times.
Evidences of incendiarism were found
and the police believe the fire was
started by an enemy of Daley.
Fifty families scrambled from
their beds and into the street in scant
attire when smoke filled a four
story flat building on North Lake
street. Oil soaked bedding in a base
ment room caused the police to search
for a janitor who had quarreIed with
several tenants.

SOLD ARMY SECRETS.
Austrian Officer Ordered to Take Own
Life in Punishment.

Vienna, May 30--Disclosure of the fact
that Col Albert, Redl of the general staff
of the Eighth army corps, committed
suicide last Monday rather than face trial
on charge of high treason is made in the
Military Gazette He was accused of SELL
ing to Russia important military secrets.
1t is the custom in the Austrian army
to give officers who are accused of dis
graceful crime the opportunity of taking
their own lives. In accordance with this
four officers went to his home and dis
cussed his case, leaving behind on his
table a loaded revolver. They waited out
side and a few minutes later heard the
disgraced colonel had used the weapon as
theY intended.

This can only be done in a real home,

must copy, and the father inculcates

Every child has a right to that kind
of environment, and no matter how
much a man and woman come to hate
each other, for the sake of their child

fiction of such a home until the child
