LETTER,
What this French call "a bud
quarter of n hoar" awaited the
president Monday. He promised to
entertain the national committee of
the B'nai Brtih, the greatest Jewish
organization in the world, and listen
to their protests against the treat
ment of their fellow countrymen at
Kiahenev. That this intervtew with
the prominent Hebrews who called
on him was embarassing the presi
dent fully appreciated. He has con
sulted Secretary Hay and Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
is unable to find itrounds which,
from a diplomatic standpoint, will
wan-ant anything in the nature of a
protest to Russia and yet his entire
sympathies are with the Jews and
if be could he would gladly comply
with their wishes and express to
to Russia horror with which he has
learned of the Kishinev atrocities.
Mr. Roosevelt also appreciates that
aside from the diplomatic aspect of
the situation this country, at least
to some extent, lives in a glass
bouse. . Our own reiord Is not with
out a blot. Only recently a colored
man was burned and shot in a
western state and lvnchings. riot
ings and aynamitlngs within the
past year havo been numerous. The
federal government does all in its
power to current these abuses but
cannot prevent them and that is the
profession of Russia so that whether
we believe in Rnt-sia's sincerity or
not we can hardly affront ber by au
expression of ppon incredulity.
Another delicate situation has
been precipitated by the recent
Servian revolution, accompanied as
it was by the assination of the King
and Queen and many of the subjects
who remained loyal to them Re
gnrdless of the merits of the case it
is impossible not to be horrified at
the frightful violence of the revolu
tionists and yet there i no diplo
tnntio warrant, for an expression of
sympathy or regret, especially as
' such would be immediately oon
strued as an insult to the new ruler.
Under the circumstances. President
Roosevelt will refrain from an ex
pression on the subject as will
doubtless the representatives of
many other nations.
The postoffice investigation is still
progressing, not as rapidly or as
sensationally, perhaps, as some
might wish but with the absolute
thoroughness which characterizes
all of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
Ueueral Bristow'a work. The in
vestigation is now concentrated
largely on the work of former sup
erintendent of salaries and allow
anoes, George W. Beavers on the
New York postoffl'ce and on the re
lations of H. H. Rand, "confidential
clerk" to the postmaster general.
The president appreciates that Rand
Is entirely unfit for bis present posi
tion and is relying on Bristow to
demonstrate to the pootmaster gen
eral that such is the case. Rand
has occupied most of bis time since
his connection with the government
service in the exploitation of mining
stocks and get-rich quick concerns
with which he associated. These he
has promoted with the help of gov
ernment stenographers and on the
stationery of the post master gen
eral's ofllse.
' It will be a great surprise to all
who are intimately acquainted with
the machinations of the Machen ring
if Una vers is not found to be serious
ly involved. He has offered to turn
states evidence and bis offer ha,
been reiected. From this it is
that evidently the insector8 already
have sufficient evidence without
accepting his help. It has developed
that there has been no thorough
inspection of the New York post
efiice for a considerable period be
cmiifl it has been given out In the
de.lKtmne.nt that First Assistant
l'urry Heath was resjxjusible for
many.irregularities fot political pur
pilous which would not bear the
strong liht ou an investigation and
that any inquiry would inevitably
precipitate a political scandal. As
to the iMihti.al Be;ict of the cur
rent invert ;.'. ! I ion it is stated by
Senator Depew and other prominent
republicans tbut a thorough cleaning
out of the potit office department
Cfimiot but reflect credit on the pres
ident and Lis entire administration.

THE WASHINGTON
j03""11 - 11 reported that If the
Colombia congress fail to promptly
ratify the treaty the states of Pana
ma and Cauoa, both of which are on
the Isthmus, will secede from the
main country. While it is probable
that such secession would bo resisted
to some extent it is doubtful if the
resistance wonld be successful. The
Northern portion of the Andles
practically cuts off all communica
tion between these two states and
the rest of the country by land and
the Colombia government has no
navy. Moreover tho goveanmeut ie
bankrupt and could hardly raise the
funds to carry on a war. The two
states named would make a country
larger than the republio of Costa
Rica and all of the Inhabitants favor
the construction of the canal. As
the two states would be virtually
livided by the canal zone there
vould be almost two countries after
the canal was built and it is probable
that a peaceful and prosperous little
republio which could easily meet
its necessities with the $250,000 an
unity which this conr.try will pay
as rental for the canal would result
from such a revolution.
The plans for the 13,000 ton battle
ships, the Idaho and Mississippi,
have been completed but do not
meet with the approval of any of
the naval officers on duty in Wash
ington. They are heavily armored
as much so as many of the 15,000
and 18.000 ton ships but in order to
combine this heavy armour and
light draft it has been necessary to
sacrifice speed with the result that
the new vessels will have a maxi
mum speed of not over sixteen knots
an bonr. All modern European
naval vessels are being designed to
have a maximum speed of nineteen
knots so that they would be able to
siil all round vessels of the Idaho
and Minnesota ty pe. Moreover, the
coal carring capacity of the new
vessels will be tmall so that the con
stant attendeuce of colliers will be
necessitated. Admiral Melville,
engineer in chief, has expressed
himself as thoroughly disgusted
with the provisions of the appropri
ation bill which necessitates build
ing this class of vessel.

late Daniel D. Rosnersns of Dela
ware township, diod nt the home of
her daughter in Irvington, N. J., Sat
urday night, June 13. Her health
had been Impaired for a long time
and she gradually tailed nntil the
end came. Her maiden name was
Nichols and she was born in New
ark, N. J., October 17, 1841.
January 17, 186(1, she married Mr.
Rosencratis, a veteran of the civil
war and a prominent citizen of Del
aware, and since has lived there
until last October when she went to
roside with her daughter. She was
an accomplished woman, a most
cherished wife and an affectionate
and faithful mother.

daughtors, Ida F., Mar 7 R , wife of
Arthur Genung of Port Byron, 111. ;

To New Voters
The American Protective Tariff
League of New York is early In the
field for the campaign cf 1904. Real
izing that the percentage of new
voters may prove to be sufficient to
turn the scale in several states, The
League has mailed to its members
and connections inquiry cards ask
ing names and addresses cf young
men who will, next year, cast their
first votes at a presidential election,
Replies to these cards are coming in
by the hundreds in every mail, and
The League is rapidly accumulating
an Immense list of names to which
it will send literature of the sort
calculated to inform young eleotors
as to the merits of the questions
dividing the two political parties.
A Bad Washout
The washout in the road near the
Hickory Grove House in Westfall
will cost considerable to repair. It
is on the old road between where
the private one going by the House
leaves it and the bridge. There is
considerable grade on the old road
and none on the other, and the
length of both Is practically the
same. It would seem advlsihle and
economical for the proper officials to
have the old one vacated and the
private one adopted as a publio road.
The county bridge could likely be
utilized to cross the stream below
and on the whole the change might
be agreeable to the publio and bene
ficial to the township.
Pure Tood Division

the Penn'a Dept. of Agriculture in

provision combine made an effort to
havo his ofiioe abolished, alleging

Victory for Good Government
At the April election in Knnsnq,
tho women's municipal vote In a
number of cities turned the scale In
favor of luw and order and a good
city government. The victory was
especially conspicuous In Topekn,
where the Issue was clearly drawn
iH-tweeii the lawless elements and the
good citizens. The question was
whether the gambling houses, low
dives, and Illicit saloons should go or
stay. The voice of tho people had
said that tiny should go. In this
case it was the voice of the whole
people, Including the women. On
the morning after the election, the
Topeka Dally Herald said, "Credit
to whom credit Is due."
"Nothing superior to the Intel
ligent management and perfect
organization of the women has ever
been seen in a political campaign In
this city. They were not only tire
less in their efforts to create senti
ment favorable to the law and order
candidates, but they displayed the
greatest ability in the practical
political work necessary to get out
their vote and to secure the results
for which they labored. The tiart
which the women played in this
year's campaign, from start to finish,
is an unanswerable argument: in
favor of woman suffrage, and proves
what all the advocates of that cause
contend, that the enfranchisement of
women would bo a large contribution
of conscience and common sense to
the management of public affairs."
Propositions were carried to pur
chase the i'ity waterworks and to
erect new school buildings.
Beautiful Old Women
We occasionally meet a wo:nan
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how
it has come about what her secret
is. Here lire a few of ttie reasons :
Sho knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She did not expeot too muoh from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
ber congenial.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them ou no one.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all tho world wicked and
unkind.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has como to her, and there is a h tlo
of white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered. This is the
secret of a long life and a happy one.

ture has just issued a bulletin entitled
the Woodlot, designed to give hints
as to the proper manner of treating
second growth woods to make them
yield larger returns In the long run

methods. The Idea is to cut out the
saplings which are crooked or crowd
ing or of less value as timter so that
the better woods may tuvive. It is
in short intelligence applied to wood
cutting and the several methods are
well Illustrated by cuts which give
an excellent Idea of the process of
tninning to prove ol the greatest,
benefit.
