THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Secretary Hay has left Washington
and la visiting his daughter at New
port. Just before he left Washington
he said to a visitor thivt he had one
thing more to do liefore leaving the
city and that was to make up his war
calendar. Noting his visitor's sur
prise he explained. "I am driven to
this extremity hy the newspaper,
which are bound to plunge our coun
try Into war with somebody at every
turn. The other morning it was with
Germany because the report had
gotten out that the order for the
naval visit to Kiel had been counter
manded. Today, I believe, it Is with
Russia because of an unexpected snub
for the Jewish note, tomorrow It Is
liable to be with England because of
Heaven knows what the fall of
American stock on the London Ex
change, maybe. Now the trouble
with reports, especially during the
warm weather when ordinary news
Is dull, Is that they don't always
agree as they should, and then they
get us Into so many fights at once
that It would severely tax our re
sources to carry them all through to
victory, "it struck me not long ago
that It would simplify matters If we
arranged a uniform program In this
line for some little time in advance.
I have noticed that a story or an
explanation 'by authority' is always
cordially welcomed by the press; so,
why should 1 not get up a summer
schedule of foreign wars before I lea
town, print It in attractive style wiih
'By authority' In large letters In the
corner and hand it out to the news
paper representatives in Washington.
It could be arranged In the form of
a calendar, with a separate page for
each month, and I could string
prognostications along the outer
margin of the page, as they used to in
the old farmers almanacs. For
example, between the last and the
15th of July I could have a marginal
legend like this: About this time
look out for hostilities with Turkey.
"Between the 10th and the 31st I
could forecast: Stock up with Pari
sian goods before ports close. War
with France Is Imminent, and be
tween the 1st and 15th of August:
'United States will land more marines
In Venice: Italian Ambassador at
Washington will demand passports
'Great Idea Isn't it? I have taken
out no patent on It, but I may apply
for one. I could call It an 'Apparatus
tor regulating foreign wars and pro
curing intermittent comfort for
nierican cabinet officers?"
It Is not likely, however, that the
secretary, when making these face
tious remarks, anticipated the delicate
situation which has arisen in regard
to presenting the Jewish petition to
the czar. Russia has announced
through the Associated Press, that it
will not receive any "petition, repre
sentation or communication regarding
Its Internal affairs." The United
States has met this statement with
another to the effect that it can
recognize no unofficial or semi-official
statement regarding the action of
Russia and that the petition, regard
ing the Jewish massacre at Kishnev,
will be forwarded to Saint Peteruburg
as soon as received. Incidentally the
unfriendly position of Russia regard
ing the opening of the Manchurian
ports to the United States is mention
ed in an "unofficial" statement
apfendet to thct foregoing. It I
regarded as more than probable that
If Russia were to recede from Its
position regarding the Manchurian
situation, the United States might be
Induced to reconsider its determina
tion to forward the petition which
Russia appears to regard obnoxious,
Postmaster General Payne, acting
on the advice of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, has
taken the first step towards the
reorganization of the postal service
on a business basis. It has been
definitely announced that hereafter
the existence of congressional districts
will be ignored in the establishment
of rural free delivery routes and tiiat
such routes wid be established only
where they will serve at least 100
persons and cover an approximate
distance of 'Z'i miles. It is stated that
the establishment of routes, irrespec
tiv ; of whether the conditions justi
fiej it or not, bus grown into a grave
abu-c, threatening the entire business
kihiiiniol intioil of the posUilUcu de
partment and this statement is more
that borne out by the deficit of the
previous year bus been nearly doubl
ed, the ioul for this year being
!,t;i7,- ';;. In this connection the
remark of an orHeiul well posted on
li.e I urebii-ti of guvcrtiuii-tit blipplies
i: t'W -ai;t. IU' f,;y t!.,it n tvrkan
abuse Is the purchase of supplies
made by companies in which mem
bers of congress are Interested. Such
interests lead to extravagant appro
priations and this oftlcial estimates
that the total loss to the government
from this one source amounts to not
less than $50,000,000 per annum.
The postmaster general has left
Washington for a brief rest, as has
Indeed every cabinet member except
Secretary Moody, all taking advant
age of the 4tli of July to get away
from their desks. Meanwhile. First
Assistant Postmaster General Payne
is acting postmaster general. Before
leaving Washington Mr. Payne and
Wynne had a long talk and it Is now
believed that the strained relations
which have heretofore existed be
tween Mr. Payne and his First
aaslstant are being dissipated. The
chief subjects now under Investiga
tion by Mr. Bristow are the contract
for sheet-iron letter boxes, which
have been substituted for the old
fashioned cast-iron boxes, the paint
ing of vhese boxes with a patent
"aluminum" paint and the General
Manifolding Company which sells
upwards of $400,000 worth of dupli
cating papr to the government each
year, about half that amount being
bought by the postolflce department.
Representative Sibley of Pennsyl
vania is known to be a stockholder in
this company and It is rumored that
Speaker-to-be Cannon Is also.
Washington enjoyed an old fashion
ed 4th of July celebration, participa
ted In by the French Ambassador,
Secretary Moody, Admiral Dewey
and other distinguished men, assisted
by the marine band and the troop9,
sailors and marines statiuned around
Washington.
THE REASON WHY
Just now the q noil Inn uppermost,
In tlio mlDd of each good pastor,
Is why I lie men don't come to church,
And (111 the pews up faster
Well sirs, it truly seems to me,
The reason lies within.
Within the church old Satan stands
The victory sure to win.
Sow pause a moment, please and see,
It I'm not talking straight,
Rdwecu the world aud you church folks,
Is there a difference greatf
You're trying hard to understand,
And for it find some reason,
'TIs just liccnuse your own good Sock.
Are always playing treason.
You sny that gambling la a sin.
We-don't deny it's true.
Yet evory church within the town.
Has a euchre club or two.
What Is the difference If the men,
Sometimes for money play,
Or If the ladles for a prize,
The hoars pluy awnyf.
The rnce track Is nnother crime
A curse unto the land. ,
Yet every time that I go there,
And look o'er the graudstand.
I venture here In truth to say.
You'll surely got a greeting.
From more church members at the race,
Than you ever will in meeting.
Sinie fnncy trotters f on the track,
Are owned by some church deacons,
Somehow, upon the road to heaven
They don't count much as beacons.
They Bay the men upon our streets
Go reeling up and down.
I always thought that Mil ford ni
A quiet little town.
I never see the drunken men,
The paators tell about.
It must be in their earnest zeal
They imagine it, no doubt.
'Tis passing strange, I often see
That when the church wants money,
'Tl to the men they talk about,
She goes as sweet as honey.
What matter if behind the bar
The silver's In the till?
If they can gut it, that la all,
They never get their fill.
I've noticed it for many years,
They never ask In vain,
Of Buy hotel man In town,
When money is the strain.
If you want men to come to church,
Just preach the gosel plain.
Dont fix it up lu fancy drc&s,
That got s agalust the grain.
Men can read science every day.
And essays sinull and great.
But what they want to hear in church,
Is just the lilble straight.
Your trouble lies at home, kind sirs,
When pa&tor and tvheu people,
Will prattle what they preach, theehnrch
Will be full to the ntcvplo.
Then let the shepherd aud the flock
Live up to t 'eir profession.
Aud tlieu eiw-h man outside the fouce,
Will join the great prootsalou.

THE FOURTH Itf MILFORD
The Day Was Fine, The Crowd
Largo and the Races Good
No weather could have been more
propitious than that which favored
the citizens and guests July fjurth.
It was delightfully cool with a fine
breeze, the shower of the previous
evening having cleared the atmos
phere of humidity. Early In the
forenoon people from the surrounding
country began to appear and when
the Newton band broke the quiet
with Its stirring music the streets
presented a lively aspect. The flie
mens parade was greatly admired.
The machines were very tastefully
decorated and the buys made a fine
showing. Their marching was
orderly and their uniforms gave
a neat appearance. The marshals
were J. C. Bull and J. B. Van
Tassel. The parade was a very
creditable exhibition and Milford has
no occasion to feci that there Is any
disparagement between her firemen
and any volunteer department any
where. After the - parade a race occurred
between Vandermark Hose No. 1 and
Delaware Hose No. 3, the latter
composed of the smaller bnye, and
they won. Making the time, between
the start at Hotel Fauchere and the
postofllce corner, two blocks, In one
aud a half minutes, while the young
men did it in two minutes. This is
an excellent showing for the young
sters and If they keep on growing
they will be hard to beat. The
flremens ball in the evening was well
attended. Good order prevailed In
town during the day and it Is safe to
say. that all who came out had an
enjoyable holiday with nothing to
mar the pleasure.
RACKS AT THE DRIVING PARK
It was an ideal afternoon and those
who availed themselves of the
opportunity to see the races were
amply repaid. Never on this track
were races more closely contested
nor was faster ilnvaver made here.
In the free-for -id the lust two beats
were especially close and it wus a
pretty sight to see the horse coming
down the stretch with hardly a nose
between them.

ple on the grounds. The Newton
band attended and enlivened the
interims with excellent music. The
track was in fine condition. The
grand stand was filled with ladies
and made a brilliant spot in the
landscape while the hills surrounding
were dotted with groups of people
and altogether the scene was one
which will long remain a pleasant
memory in the minds of the assembl
age. Excursion Tickets to Detroit, Mich.,

The Philadelphia Pross says edi
torially on tho judicial situation in
this district.
For the first time in history the
courts of Pike ar.d Monroe counties,
now constituting one judioial dis
trict, are presided over by a repub
lican, and as a matter fact of the
democrats, who can roly upon a
majority in the two counties of
some 2000,are preparing to put a
partisan of their own in the place.
Judge Erdman, who is now on
that bench, was appointed to the
vacancy caused by the death of the
late Judge Allen Craig. Though a
republican, Judge Erdman was
warmly supported by in my demo
crats of the district for the appoint
ment, both because ho is fit and
popular and becauso democrats wh3
wore looking forward to the judge
ship thomselves preferred to have a
republican in the place touiporarily
rathor than give some rival demo
crat the advantage which a place on
the bench would afford in a canvass
for nomination to a full term. Judge
Erdman has discharged the duties
of the offloo with general satisLic
tion. In the few months einoo he
received his commission he has dis
played excellent judioial qualities,
and he has been free from partisan
ship. Ho ought to be elected this year
for the full term. But in a distriot
where the democrats have an as
sured majority on a partisan division
it is too much to ox poet them to let
so important a place aji the judge
ship remain in the hands of a repub
lican, no matter bow competent or
impartial ho may be. It is not a
questiou of getting a better judge or
subserving the publio interests. The
democrats will buve a candidate of
their own bocauso there are two or
three democrats in tho district who
want the office. There are two can
didates already contesting for the
pirty nomination, Charles B. Staples
and Honry J. Kotz, both of Monroe
county. (ither hos any merit or
qualification not possessed ifl an
equal or more pronounced do.,ree by
Judge Erdman, and no publio rea
son whatever could be given why
either should be elected over tlio
prcsont judge.
The people of this district will do
themselves a wrong if they are in
fluenced by partisan considerations
in this uiattr. They will not im
prove their courts by any change
they may make, and judges that are
elected only because they are re
publicans or democrats are likely to
bu more useful in politics than in
the admiuiattutiou of the law.

MARCONI WIRELE33
Great Fortunes to bn Founded
in
the New System
When Alexander Graham Boll
patented and perfiotol his telephone
tlm skeptics were loud in their
derision of tho "toy." Nevertheless,
Dull found believers, and those be
lievers were rownrJod for their faith
by Immense fortunes. Gardner G.
Hubbard, the father-in-law and
faithful friend of Bell, was the man
who risked the most and gained the
greatest rewards in bucking Bell
and tho telephone until it reached
the stiigo where the publio no longer
derided the instrument as a play,
thiniig, hut clamornd for It as ne
nessity. In tlio Marconi wiroloss
telegtaph there is a -parallel of his
tory. Just now in tho formative
and const met ivo period there are
doubters aud skeptics, but there are
some faithful friends and it Is these
friends and faithful ones who are
going to reap the fortunes that are
bound to follow the genrnl adoption
of thotwireless system. The great
advantage of this system over that
using wires and cables is the ex
tremely low Initial cost, which
relievos the company oporating it of
a large burdoti of intorest, taxes and
depreciation, thus increasing its
earning capacity many fold.
Those who are investing in the
stork of thn Marconi wireloss tide
graph company of America today
are the ones who oro certain to win
great fortunes li .- the future increase
in v line stocks, as wall as through
the dividends earned and paid in the
interi n. Bell telephone stock in-
creas' 1 in valuo from $1.00 por
share in bn worth $1,000 por share.
ami so Marconi stocks will vory
likely in. .Tense from $! 00, Iho pres
ent pric, to over $1,000 within a few
yoars. '1 uis $80 invested now may
become $M,000 within a decade. It
is by wi-ia investments such as these
that tlii great fortunes of the big
millionairiM have boon made. Tho
Vanderbiits in railroads, the Goulds
in tdegr iph and railroads, tho Mao
kays in cables, tho Rockefellers in
Star.Jard Oil, the hubbards in tele
phonos. The man who has a few
hundred dollars laid away to invest
and whj has the intelligence to
grasp a fleeting opportunity will be
the one to seizo the Marconi offoring
and make his fortuno.
"The Weekly Marconigram" is
the name of a periodical devoted to
the new wireless system, and its
publishers, Messrs. Munroe & Mnn
roe, 44-60 Exchange Place, New
York, announce that it well be sent
froo to all who apply for it.
This Arm is known as an aggres
sive, enterprising combination bril
liant young financiers who have a
successful career behind them as a
gnaranttoe of their future. They
have agreed to keep the Marconi
company supplied with working
capital until the system is thorough
ly established and in full commero
tal operation. They have issued a
handsome booklet, "Marconi Wiro
loss," giving full particulars con
cerning Marooni and his system,
with 32 illustrations in half tone.
which thoy send froe to persons
likely to bocomo interested at stock
holders in the company.
Mr. Goorge H Mnnroo, New York
manager of tho firm, says: "We
are soliciting tha investment of
small amounts in Marooni securities
for the reason that we believe that
the American people will welcome
the establishmjnt of this competing
system, and because we know that
gro.it profits will accure to the in
vestor from thn development of this
marvelous invention to a commerc
ial stage. The company has, al
ready, over a quarter of a million
doliar-i invested in stations and ap
paritus in the Unit-id States, but it
will require at least as much more
before the business c to. be establish
ed upon a highly profitable basis
Once this is done tho value of Mar
eoni securitie.-i must necessarily ad
vunca very rapidly, au l those who
buy uow will in th) cjure of a few
years niul themselves; In possession
securities equally as profitable as
telephone, western union aud com
mercial cable have heretofore beon.
If anybody wants to know more
about ths opportunities this system
offers, let him write to us, at 44 CO
Exchange 1'laoe, and we will be gl ad
to give them."

THE WEST
Oh the glorious west, with its rolling
And grand old mountains nigh. plains,
There's room for all, and yet to sparo,
Wlthlu reach of the restless eye.
Where a man Is free to live his life,
And work for his dully bread,
To make him a home that none can touch
To own where he lays his head.
Each morn go forth to his healthful took,
Neath the blue of a smiling sky.
For the rich brown earth must yield her
Kro winter winds draw nigh. shikra
For grain and fruits a goodly store,
Must be gatberod while they may.
The blesHings of the summer time,
Put by for the winter's day.
He rests at noon ncath tho welcome shade
Of the giant spreading tree,
W hile he takes his lunch, this happv king
For a monarch great is he.
The laud la bis. The future his.
What more can any ank?
To conquer every adverse fate
What glory In the tank I
His cot tage Is his royal throne
His wife a very queen
Who welr-mea him when setting sun,
Enfolds tho happy scene..
No thrubbing city life compares
To our glorious western world,
Where over all, both rich aud poor,
Is freedoms flag unfurled.

long," writes Mrs. Chas. Applegata
of Alexander, Iud., "aud could
hardly get any sleep. I had con
sumption so bad that if I walked a
block I would cough frightfully and
spit blood, but, when all other
medicines failed, three $1.00. bottlea
of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly
cured me and I gained 5 pounds."
