The shortest lived people are miners. The age of the race of giants is about to be ushered in again. Henceforth there will be no pigmies, for a won derful food substance has been discov ered in Chicago that makes men and animals grow fast and large. The new food is lecithin. Its qualities have just, been demonstrated by a series of experiments by Dr. Shinkishi Hatai, professor of neurology at the Univer sity of Chicago. Dr. Hatai experiment ed with white rats, and by feeding them lecithin made them grow 60 per cent faster than they grow ordinarily. Postmaster General Payne may make a complete change in the present sys tem of mail wagon service between post offices, railway stations and steam er wharves in the large cities. At present this service is carried on by contractors, who own the wagons and employ the drivers. There has been considerable complaint from post masters of inefficiency in the. service and their inability to exercise suf ficent control over the employes of the contractors. The postmaster general will give the new system a trial in some of the large cities on expiration of present contracts. Arrangements have been completed for the establishment of a department of forestry in Purdue university. Ex periments and testing of the different trees and shrubbery in the United States will be the principal work of the new branch of the school, and the government will soon erect a large building and install apparatus needed in the study. An extensive tract of land will of necessity be added to the already large Purdue farm for the raising and cultivation of the trees and shrubs, and will greatly broaden tho scope of the university.

Balfour find Ohamberiain throws light an the rather mystifying situatiigi brought about by the latters' resignation from ihc British cabinet just at the time thy Haltour government was making public declaration of its belief in the protective principle advocated by Cham berlain. In brief. Chamberlain explains that public opinion is not yet ready togo the full length of his programme of a general tariff, with preferential duties for imports from the colonies, but he be lives it will go far enough to sustain the government in a policy of retalitory tariffs. Furthermore, lie believes that he can do more to advance the cause of the commercial unity of the empire in independent position than he can ac complish while working under the limi tations of the official proprieties. In his formal reply Mr. Balfour takes espe cial care to announce his entire agree ment with the [ilar. vdvocated by Mr. Chamberlain. He wiites: "Agreeing, as I tin, with you that the time has form when a change shouliU be made in the fl.se a I canons by which we bound our selves in our commercial dealings* with oth er governm nts, it set ms paradoxical, in deed, that you should leave the cabinet at the same time that others of my colleague! are leaving it who disagree on the very point with us both. Yet I cannot but admit that there is some force In your argu ments in support of that course, based, as they are, upon your special and personal relation with that portion of the contro vert which deals with colonial preference. You have done more than any man living or dead to bring home to the citizens of the umpire the > onsei ,usncss of imperial obli gation a;.d interdependence lutwctn the various fragments into which the empire is geographically divided. "I believe you to be right in holding that this Interdependence should find expression in our commercial as well as in our polit ical and military relations. I believe with you that a closer fiscal union between the mother country and the colonies wouid benellt the trade of both, and that if such closer union could be established 011 lit ting torms its advantage to both parties would increase with years and as the colonies grew in wealth and population." But he further agree with Mr. Cham belain that the time is not yet ripe for the introduction of this whole pro gramme; that it is more practical to fake half a loaf by dissociating the plan t' an imperial zollverein from the other iranch of the proposed change of policy "to which we both attach importance and which we believe the. country is prepared to consider without preju dice. Thus we have a fairly clear statement of the. lines upon which English parties &re likely to divide, the protectionists making their first battle on the demand for retaliatory tariffs and their oppen ents standing for the free trade policy which lias been the settled policy of the United Kingdom since 1846. Necessarily it means a very considerable realignment of parties and a parliament election in the near future, in which the liberal par ty. if it can patch up its internal differ ences on the subject of leadership, will have more than an equal chance of suc cess. The one man that can pull the party together. Rosebery, has not yet. spoken. But a free trade victory would not settle the matter. The logic of the present commercial situation is driving England inevitably to a protective pol icy.

There is information in trust cir cles that the Indiana democrats are turning 10 Mr. Cleveland. Convinced, it is said, that Mr. Roosevelt is daily losing ground in conservative circles in his own party, and that a strong nomination by their party will bring the presidency within reach, they have determined to put their best foot fore most and enlist under the Cleveland banner. It is a pretty story, but. defi cient in particulars, says the Wash ington Star. Are the old friends of Mr. Hendricks very prominent in this movement? Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hendricks were about as ill-assorted a pair as ever traveled in double harness. It was with great difficulty that the In dianian could be persuaded to make the race, and this Mr. Cleveland seemed never able to forget. Mr. Hen dricks lived but a short time ater taking office, but long enough to de velop serious differences with his chief, and to make it plain that the association was very unpleasant to him. When he died Mr. Cleveland did not attend the funeral. It was explained that he was advised in his course by those who thought he ought not to take the railroad risk of the journey. But his absence was resented by many of Mr. Hendricks' friends. And how about the old friends of Mr. Voorhees? They are nearly all sil ver men, and they deeply regretted the course their old favorite took un der Cleveland's influence in the fight over the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman art. What has lately occurred to make Mr. Cleveland so very attractive in their eyes? Then there are the friends of the late John 0. Shanklin. In 1892 Mr. Shanklin was a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Indiana, and had good prospects of success. He was a Cleveland man, and wanted the state delegation to the democratic national convention in structed for the New Yorker. But Issac P. Gray played the "favorite son" game, and obtained instructions for himself. He likewise defeated Mr. Shanklin's gubernatorial aspira tions because of Mr. Shanklin's op position to his presidential aspira tions. A' the Chicago pass on the 157,- 000 acres of land in tlie Cherokee na tion segregated for the use of the Delawares. The Indians claimed that the secretary is without authority to approve or disapprove of the segrega tion, as it had been approved by the Indians interested, and asked that he be enjoined against taking such ac tion pending the adjudication ol' the same quest ion by the court of claims. Soon after the case was filed the court granted a temporary injunc ioti, lint Judge Anderson yesterday dissolved it. Soon after the decision was rendered Attorney Walter S. Lo gan filed a petition in the court of claims on behalf of the Delawares against the United States, asking that damages be awarded in the sum of $1,000,000 because of the expenses to which the Indians have been subject ed because of the necessity of de fending title to their lands. In this petition they make some sensational statements. One of these accusations is to the effect thai members of the Dawes commission are interested in oil leases and companies holding leases made upon their lands by Cherokee* claiming title. Mentioning the mem bers of the commission by name, the petition alleges that notwithstanding the lands have been properly segra gated, the "Dawes commission, disre garding their official duties as agents of the United States towards your petitioners, have conspired and are conspiring together with tlie said companies to cheat and defraud your petitioners so as to gain possession of their lands for themselves, or for llieir said companies, under pretense of alioting said lands, in their official capacity as said Dawes commission, to divers persons who are willing to •liter into contracts of lease and sale with representatives of said trust and land companies, in which the members of said Dawes commission are interested.

Tlie Output IMiriim I novi Amounted lo .11 ore Than :il>o. IMMI.OOO Tun*. Washington, Oct. I. A preliminary statement showing the coal produc tion of the United States, prepared by Edward \Y. Parker, statistician, lias just been issued by the United States geological survey. It shows that for the first time in the history of the United States the production of coal lias reached a total of over 300,000,- 000 short tons, the actual showing being 300,930,659 lons, valued at $373,- 133.843. The output of anthracite coal amounted to 36,865,710 long tons equivalent to 41,289.595 short tons) a decrease of 32,376,850 long tons, or al most 40 per cent, from 1901. This de crease was due entirely to the sus pension of operations by the strike in the anthracite region. The value at the mines of the anthracite product in 1902 amounted lo $81,016,937, as against $112,504,020 in 1901. The average value of the marketed coal sold during the year at the mines was $2 50 per long ton, the value in 1901 having' been $2.05. The output of bituminous coal amounted in 1902 to 259,641,064 short tons, valued at $292,116,906, as against 225.520.5t9 short tons, valued at $236,- 400,449, in 1901. The production of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania in 1902 exceeded that of 1901 by 15,755,874 short tons, but was not sufficient to overcome the great loss in anthracite produc tion. The states in which the more im portant increases in coal production occurred were Illinois, which gained 5,547,751 short tons, or a little more than 20 per cent, over 1901; Colorado, whose increase was 21,314.412 short tons, or over 4(1 per cent.; Ohio, with a gain of 2.414.577 short tons, not quite 12 per cent.; Indiana, with an increase of 2,207.371 short tons, or nearly 33 per cent.

Ky., Oct. 1. —The Brown army apparently came off victorious yesterday in what proved by far the most exciting and dashing nianeuvre of the series of three. So more interesting spectacle than yesterday's nianeuvre, even for a civilian, could have been arranged. For the firwt time since tlie .man euvers began all the arms f.f the ser vice had a fair chance to show their men and practically the whole strength of the opposing commands were in actual contact with "the enemy" at some time or other. Kilpatrick I* Sentenced. Philadelphia, Sept. 29.—Robert J. Kilpatrick was convicted in the United States district court yester day of robbing the vaults of the mint in this city of 858 silver dollars. Kil patrick was employed at the mint as a laborer and it was charged he cut open the bags containing the money while at work in the vaults. A knife which Kilpatrick accidentally dropped and had forgotten led to his arrest and conviction. Kilpatrick was sen tenced to four years' imprisonment. Jerome lVauts a < am pa i::n Fund. New York, Sept. 29. —District Attor ney Jerome on Monday made applica tion to the board of estimates for SIOO,OOO for his contingent fund for the ensuing year. Mr. Jerome last year received $50,000. In explaining the need for the money Mr. Jerome said- "I have spent the money I re ceived last year in securing evidence ljfainst gambling houses and closing them. I am informed that the gam bling houses in Manhattan are wide open now and 1 want to get the money so that I can go against tlieta places as 1 have done before." THE NATION'S REVENUE. £llla 11. Hobert*, Treasurer of Itilled Mateo, Submit* Ills Iteport. Washington, Oct. l. —Ellis H. ISob erts, treasurer of the United States has submitted to Secretary Shaw his report on the condition of the treas ury .hine 30, 1903, and its operations during the past fiscal year. The total revenues for the year were $560,396,- 074, an increase of $38,988,439 over the year preceding, and the total expendi tures $500,099,007, an increase of $35,- 782.034. The surplus was $54,297,0(57. as compared with $91,287,375 in 1902. in the receipts there was an in crease of upwards of $30,000,000 from customs, ;iiid a falling off of over $41.- 000,000 from internal revenue, the latter being the result of legislation enacted with that object. On the side of the expenditures there was an in crease in every important account except pensions and interest, in which there were slight savings. The ex penditures for the two military de partments, which together amounted to $191,237,554, forming by far the heaviest outlay for any single pur pose, were upward of $21,000,000 greater than the year before. At the close »>f the year the treas ury held $893,065,869 in gold and sil ver on deposit against outstanding certificates and treasury notes, beside the $150,000,000 in gold which forms the reserve against United States not es. Treasurer Roberts places the mone tary stock of the country on June 30, 1903. including gold and silver. United States notes, treasury notes and na tional bank notes, but not certificates, at $2,088, 149,621, an increase of $124,- 882.963 for the year. The increase in gold was $60,137,401, and in national bank notes $65,998,559. The total es timated stock of gold was $1,252,7.'!!,- 990, constituting nearly 47 per cent, of the whole. The gold in the treas ury amounted to $631,420,789, a gain of $71,220,480 in 12 months. I'lte increase of the money in circu lation during the year was $121,740,- 252. of which $59,776,462 was in gold and gold certificates and $54,520,193 in national bank notes. The share of money for each person increased 89 cents, and the proportion of gold to the whole rose \'> per cent., the high est ratio ever recorded. There lias been a continual increase in the proportions of paper currency of the denominations of $lO and un der in circulation, but the growth hardly keeps pace with the demand. The supply can be increased if con gress will authorize the issue of gold certificates for $lO and remove the restriction on Ihe issue of $5 notes by national banks. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. New ICimlitnd Millie* Freed from Kpi demtc Among Live Stock Tliou- Munil* ol' Anliuitl* Slaughtered. Washington, Sept. 30. —Secretary Wilson said yesterday that the re ceipt through the state department of an official notice that Great Britain had removed its embargo on cattle and sheep from New England ports was the conclusion of the great work in which the department had been en gaged since December 1 for the eradi cation of foot and mouth disease from the New England states and the restoration of the traffic to the condi tion it was in before this outbreak occurred. "No country," he said, "before has succeeded in stamping out such an extensive outbreak of this disease. The work was accomplished under great difficulties. The weather in New England last December was very inclement, and the inspectors and their assistants were obliged to work in the open country with the ther mometer far below zero. "It is difficult even at this time to understand how the pits were dug in the frozen ground for burning the carcasses, and how the disinfectants were applied when everything of a liquid nature became frozen in a short time after it was exposed to the atmosphere. But the work was so thorough that in not a single case where the disinfection was conducted by the department's representatives did the disease re-occur when fresh cattle were introduced. "During this work 3,900 cattle and 590 hogs and sheep were slaughtered and paid for, and over 200 premises were disinfected. The total cost of the work was less than $300,000. Since the last diseased herd was slaughter ed all animals in the infected district have been carefully examined three times without finding any traces of the disease." Tlie Centennial's ■•'IIIIMII. Chicago, Oct. 2.—A banquet to the visiting mayors and a concert by the Marine band, followed by a public gathering at the Auditorium theater last night at which Mayor Scth Low, of .New York, was the principal speak er, brought the centennial celebra tion to a close with the exception of the fireworks display, which will be given tonight. At 6 o'clock the mayors of a score of cities sat down to a banquet in theif li»>nor attended by more than 400 citizens of Chicago.

Oxford, 0., Oct. 2.—A mob last night broke open the jail and took Joseph Spivey to an elm tree one square away, on which llenr.v Corbin was lynched in 185J2. Spivey was strung up and let down to pray, and while he was pleading for time to write 1o his wife, Deputy Sheriff lirennan and a few «s --sistants rushed forward, cut the rope and dashed down the street with the prisoner. He was rushed to the jail and lias been spirited out of town. John Spivey, his brother, is dying with a bullet through his head. E. \ r letter, who lives at Monroe. 0., is also fatally wounded.
