Boston Many acquaintances of Miss Margaret A. Graham, employed as a "rceler" in one of the mills at Ludlow, believe she is tho strongest woman in tho country. Although but 19 years of ago, sho stands six feet 3 inches in her stockings, weighs 189 pounds, and carries no superfluous flesh. Re cently she threw a baseball 262 feet 6 inches, and ran 100 yards in 11 seconds, wearing skirts. Miss Graham hassmushed all world's records In skating for women from one mile to 10, her world's record time for a half mile in this sport being 40 sec onds, and one of her aquatic featu ia a 100-foot swim in 23 seconds. AH her records ore officially timed fcata and the apparent case with which sho has won different record events has caused coaches and experts to wonder what tho limit of prowess of this giantess may be when once put to her utmost strength test. BALLOONISTS ARE LOST. Relief Parties Hurrying to Canadian Wilds in Search. New York, Oct. 24. No word has yet been received by officers of tho Aero Club of America as to tho where- abouta of the balloon America II, carrying Alan R. Hawley, pilot, and Augustus Post, aide, and anxiety for the safety of the two aeronauts, both of them prominent Aero club members, is increasing.- If tho mcn have landed safely it is believed they arc cast away so far in tho Canadian wilderness that their re turn to civilization will be a matter of great difficulty. William Hnwlfiy, brother of Alan R. Hawley, accompanied by F. Stoddard, a friend of tho aeronaut, left New York tonight for Ottawa. Charles Heltman, secretary of the Aero club, said today that not even ono of tho bulletins with which all contes tants of tho St. Louib race were sup plied and which were to bo dropped at intervals of two hours to furnish news of tho movements of tho balloon, has been received in New York from tho America II.

NATIONAL GOVERNMENT NEWS NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST ONE-CENT POSTAGE COMING Hitchcock Sanguino In Light of De Jcreaso In Postal Deficit. Washington With tho postal deficit for the fiscal year, ended Jurto 30 last, reduced $1,500,000, Postmaster Gen oral Hitchcock now mnkes a prophecy of one-cent letter postage and a self sustaining postal service. Tho com pilation of tho figures showing the re duction wus completed recently at the Postoffice department. The deficit of tho previous fiscal year was $17,000,000, bo that in one year tHo deficit was reduced to $6,100, 000. In commenting upon tho saving of $11, GOO, 000 last year, Postmaster General Hitchcock said : "This tremendous saving was mado without curtailment of the postal facil ities in any direction. On the con trary, thero were many important ex tensions. "The department's policy is to ex tend tho service as rapidly as warran ted by increasing population, and to accomplish its savings, not by tho cur tailment of postal facilities, but by handling in a more systematic manner the constantly expanding volume of mail." Tho tables indicate that more than 1,500 new ppstofficea were established I n tho last fiscal year. Great exten sions were made in the rural delivery system, 515 new routes, with a total mileage of 12,285, being put Into oper ation. There were appointed from tho civil service list over 1,800 postoffice clerks to enlarge the working forces of city postofilces, and more than 1,000 addi tional letter carriers. The railway mail service was strengthened by the appointment of about 750 new employ es. The tables show also that the depart ment made liberal increases in the compensation of old employes. Sal aries of postoffice clerks were advanced in tho aggregate $1,750,000, while the aggregate salaries of letter carriers were increased $1,226,000. -Railway mail clerks received increases amount ing to almost $250,000. Mr. Hitchcock explained that all in creases In compensation were based upon a system of efficiency ratings adopted by the department a little moro than a year ago. He says the system has had a highly beneficial effect on this service. "This-hearty co-operation," he said, "I expect to be continued through this and future years, with the result that we shall have a self-sustaining postal service and one-cent letter postage." CENSUS INCREASE SHRINKS. Cumulative Reports Show Gain of 14,0 Per Cent in Decade. Washington The census recapitula tion bulletin issued Thursday gives the names of states and cities for which the census returns have been published up to October 20. The states are Rhode Island, Michi gan, Missouri, .New Mexico, Dela ware, Vermont and Massachusetts. Their aggregate population was 10, 898,272, on increase of 14.9 per cent as against an increase of 18.1 per cent during the decade previous. Forty-three cities of more than 100,000 population and 159 cities of between 25,000 and 100,000 are giv en. Commenting upon the facts present ed, tho bulletin says: " With the data for both groups of cities approaching completeness, it is notable that tho smaller cities as a group seemed to have maintained dur ing tho decade of 1900 to 1910 a rate of growth considerably above that maintained by tho larger cities, the rate for the aggregate population of tho smaller cities being 39.3 per cent and that for tho larger 30.1. In the decade of 1890 to 1900 tho incrense of tho smaller cities in the aggregate was 33.2 per cent and tho larger 32.1 per cent. 'The returns for all of tho cities which in 1900 were in tho 100,000 and over class have been received, except form Los Angeles, San Francisco, Min neapolis and Memphis. Seattle, Wash., which will go into tho 100,000 and over class, had not reached that figuro ten yoars ago. Chlneso Banks Get Loan. Washington Speculation In rubber, which aroused so much interest in Lon don, extended to China and led to such a financial stringency in Shanghai that Chinese gold banks closed and business confidence was seriously Impaired. Mr. Calhoun, the American minister to Chinn, reports that at his request tho Chlneso foreign ofllco authorized tho vicoroy of Shanghai to effect a loan of $2,047,500 with an American banking corporation.

PEARY IS NOT AT WorfK. Ton Year's Leave of Absonco From Navy Has Expired, Washington Although, his absence has expired, Captain Robert E. Peary, tho Arctic explorer, did not report for duty as a civil engineer in the navy. Acting Secretary Winthrop said that It had not yet been decided to what work Captain Peary would be assigned. Captain Peary has been on leave of absence for ten years under an under standing that he was to devote his time to Arctic explorations. He has not applied for further extension, and It is assumed by the Navy department that he is now ready to return to ac tive duty. He was recently promoted to tho rank of captain through the retirement of a senior officer. Department officials have unearthed and old history in which the claim ia made that the North Pole was discov ered in 1360 by a friar of Oxford. It is called "A New Naval History, or Complete Review of the British Ma rine," and was published by John Entick in London, 1757. On one of its musty pages tho following paragraph appears : "In the year 1360 it is recorded that a friar of Oxford, called Nicholas De Linna, of Lynn, being a good astron omer, went in company with others to the most northern island of tho world, and there, leaving his company to gether, he traveled alone and made draughts of all those northern parts with the indrawing seas, which, at his return, he presented to the king of England. It is added that he went to the North Pole by bis skill in magic, or the black art; but this magic black art may probably have been nothing more than a knowledge of the magnet ical needle or compass, found out about 60 years before, though not in common use until many years later." FOREST PROTECTION AIM. LONELY LIFE IN THE TEMPLE Government Departments Will Give Matter Unusual Attention. Washington In view of the enor mous damage done by forest fires dur ing the past summer, the protection of forests will receive unusual atten tion from all government bureaus hav ing to do with their control and man agement, and congress itself is likely to take a hand. In a letter he recently wrote to Governor Hay, of Washing ton, Secretary Ballinger made this ob servation : "A subject of very great importance is the prevention and control of forest fires, both as relates to the public do main and to state lands; also to the protection of private interests. My observation has been that a large per centage of forest fires is the result of fires started by railroad locomotives passing over the Cascade mountains. In my travels this summer through California, I was impressed with the fact that railroads using oil for fuel in their locomotives are free from criti cism in this respect. "I do not believe that the installa tion of spark-arresters will accomplish any beneficial result, but the railroads should be required to clean up their rights of way so as to prevent the re currence of fires from this source, and until so prepared, should be compelled to maintain a sufficient patrol to ex tinguish fires set by locomotives, and also should be required to burn the slashings at seasonable periods under state supervision. The lumbering in terests in our state ought to be keenly interested in progressive legislation along this line." Heart Disease Toll Big. Washington Heart disease ranked second only to tuberculosis of tho lungs as the principal cause of death in 1909 among the gainfully employed male persons in the United States death registration area, according to figures issued by the cesnus officres. The percentage of deaths caused by heart disease was 11.9, being highest among men employed in domestic and personal service, during age periods from 25 to 54, but between tho latter age and 64 greater among men en gaged in agricultural pursuits than in any other of the official five classes of occupations. Taft Keeps Church Custom. Washington Bishop Cranston of the Methdoist 'Episcopal church called at the White House to seo tho president about a report that tho former practice of appointing as chaplains in the army and navy only those candidates form ally approved and recommended by the governing bodies In their respective churches, was pbout to be abandoned. Mr. Taft assured tho Bishop that he had no idea of abandoning this practice. Fight Mado tor Values. Washington Secretary MacVeagh had a conference with Assistant Secre tary Curtlss and Chairman Emery and James D. Reynolds, of tho tariff board. Frederick Achenbacb, tho Treasury de partment's confidential agent at Ber lin, also was present. The general subject of undervaluations was dis cussed. Mr. MacVeagh expects tho tariff board to be his principal weapon in tho fight for full valuations. Colored Men for Federal Jobs. Washington President Taft has de termined to appoint William H. Lewis, a negro, to be assistant attorney gen oral of Hawaii, and Charles H. Cot teril, also colored, to bo collector of customs at Honolulu, according to In formation at tho White House. Cot teril is now assistant district attorney at Boston. Residence In That Famous Old Lo cality In London It Not Alto gether Pleasant. Tno sinister sldo of life in tho tem ple in London has lately been revived as a topic of the hour by a case of suicide in some chambers looking down on the peaceful resting place of Oliver Goldsmith. But every Imagina tive visitor who spenda a few nights within the precincts of that lonely rcfugo from tho hubbub of Fleet street must be impressed by It Tho sense of poacefulness Is there, but added to it that of remoteness and loneliness. From tho timo tho wicket in tho groat door Is opened by the porter and slammed behind you the feeling of being cut off from tho busy world outside grows and grows until it becomes positively oppressive. The silence of tho empty courts is only broken by tho weird rustling of the piano trees and the echo of your foot falls as you traverse the erstwhile busy spaces. Regiments of unholy cats, mostly black, ao beseems the locality, slink around corners in narrow passages that seem specially made for their furtlvo ways. Who knows what may come round that craay corner at Lamb's building? Who knows what has como round.it? On tho thin strip of green churchyard beside tho anci ent church you can seo a fow modlaoval gravestones lying long and narrow, reminiscent of tho early Templars. When a person is weary and tired this ancient place, with its secrets. Its inscrutablo face and tho loneliness and mystery of the hidden lifo around you, can bo very sinister. Tho story told at the inquest upon tho friendless man found- shot through the heart In his Pump Court chambers might have had any placo for Its sotting, but somehow it seems more significant in a Temple court REST CURE FOR THE NERVES That Is tho Best Remedy Yet Discov ered, Though Carrots Also Are Prescribed. A caso of "nerves" is like a bad habit easily acquired and hard to get rid of. Nervousness affects tho di gestion, dulls the oyes, gives a strained look to tho muscles of tho face, and, if allowed Its course, will even make the hair thin. Bo the wom an who wants to be beautiful must keep an eye upon the state of her nerves. Tho best euro for nervousness Is rest. And resting Is an art known to few women. Man finds Inducement to repose in his pipe and his trousers pockets. Womankind, having neither the narcotic Influence of the pipe nor the trousers pockets to Imprison her nervous lingers, is ever active. The only way she may get repose and re lax tho body and nerves is by actual will power. Carrots ore prescribed by physl cians and beauty doctors alike as a cure for nervous Indigestion. You are told to eat them throe times a day, either cooked or raw. Young onions, or scalllons, are excellent, eaten with plenty of salt; also lettuce with salt and plenty of olive oil, but no vine gar or red pepper. Sleeplessness is the greatest men ace that tired or overwrought nerves have for beauty and health. Sleep may bo Induced by warm milk sipped slowly, or if this is ineffective by long draughts of cool water and a cold bandage around the brow. SAVES STATE CASH Women as Smugglers. Smuggling never will go out of fash ion among women until some sort of odium shall attach to this form of law breaking. In somo Instances fines of impressive magnitude have been Im posed, but In each caso upon offenders rich enough to pay them without em barrassment. Thero aro feminine travelers to whom notoriety ip not dis tasteful, and who. If forced to pay duty, regard the price as not extortion ate when tho spaco devoted to tho in cident by the newspaper is takon Into consideration. Thero are others who consider detection by customs officials as an importlnenco or a Joke, and In no manner discreditable to themselves. These samo women would never be stirred by the impulse to engage In shoplifting. Philadelphia Ledger. Every-Day Virtues. Great virtues are rare; they are sei iom needed; and, when the occasion comes, we aro prepared for It by ev erything which has proceded, excited by the greatness of the sacrifice, and sustained either by tho brilliancy of tho action in the oyes of others, or by solf-complacency In our ability to do such wonderful things.

Fenolon. Fifty Men and One Elephant. Intorstlng tests wore recontly made to determlno tho respectivo pulling power of horses, men and elephants. Two horses, weighing 1,000 pounds each, togother pulled 3,700 pounds, or 550 pounds moro than their comblnod weight. Ono olophant, wolghlng 12. 000 pounds, pulled 8,750 pounds, or 3,250 pounds loss than its wolght. Fifty men, aggregating 7,500 pounds In weight, pulled 8,750 poundB, or Just as much as tho single olophant; but, llko the horses, they pulled more than their own weight. Ono hundred men pulled 12,000 pof H008IER CONVICT'8 ABILITY OP VALUE TO INDIANA. Knowledge Gained In Prison 8aver Commonwealth $15,00fJ Question ao to Whether He Is Entitled to Releaao Therefor. Indianapolis, Ind. When a "trusty" In a state prison, by a close application to his work and to his books for a long period of years, so perfects hla knowlodgo of building that ho can de sign and superintend the cutting and erection of steel In an addition to tho prison in which ho 13 confined and thus save tho state approximately $15,000 in the cost of a building estimated to cost $90,000, is ho entitled to release? This question has presented Itself. to Governor Marshall. Tho prisoner Is in tho Btate prison at Michigan City. Ho has grown gray in his confinement and was long ago mado a "trusty." Ho was originally sentenced for murder. and Beveral years ago was released on parole. On complaint of some of hla relatives, with whom ho became In volved in a controversy over an estate. ho was returned for violation of his parole, and has been In the prison over slnco. Now there Is no one to whom ho could go If ho were released, and to let him go would be turning him out Into tho world an aged man, without friends, and without a placo to which ho could turn for shelter and care. The state prison has become his homo. and he Is too old to seek another. Hla. Identity the governor does not wish at this time to make known. According to tho report mado to tho governor, the prisoner undertook tho task of drawing the designs for all tho steel to go into the new cellhouse and the new hospital for the criminal in sane, now being constructed. The steel was cut according to his drawing, and the builders have not yet found a pleco which did not fit when taken to the place for which it was designed. While the erection of the steel, it Is reported to the governor, has heretofore cost, at the state prison, from six to seven cents a hundred pounds, the steel In the buildings now under way is costing for erection only about two cents. Under the plans Introduced In tho construction of the new cellhouso by Jame-s D. Reld, late warden of tho prison, the building is being construct ed at a cost of approximately $300 a ceil. In view of the fact that in other slates where cellhouses have been con structed recently, the cells have cost approximately $1,000 each, the record being established is one In which tho state can take Just pride, the governor holds. WILDCAT AWAITED THE FISH Minister and Postmaster Killed the Animal and Saved Their Rainbow Trout. McMinnvllle, Ore. The Rev. A. M. Williams, pastor of the Presbyterian church here, came near losing a rain bow trout that he had Just Jerked from the North Santlam river because a hungry wildcat was standing in tho bushes waiting for the fish, or other morsel for Its dinner. WHHamB did not know the wild cat was near until he turned, after landing his fish, to take It from the hook. The nnimal had stepped from the bushes that line the bank and waa In the act of putting Its paws on tho fish. It is hard to say which was tho most surprised, the minister or the wildcat Williams called H. M. Hoskins. postmaster, his companion on the trip, and thoy killed the cat and saved tho trout FINDS $50,000 IN HIS BED Vork State Sick Man Had Searched In Vain for His Uncle's Hoard. Waverly, N. Y. Edward Powers, a poor young dry goods clerk of this hamlet, had the unique experience of finding a fortune of $50,000 while try ing to arise from his bed, to which ha had been confined for some weeks. This fortune, which was composed mainly of stocks and bonds, had been hidden away by Powers' eccentiio uncle, Wlllard Martin, and when the undo died, ten years ago, his nephew soarched In vnln for tho hiding place. Powers took hold of tho large, old fashioned bed post to pull himself to a sitting posture, when suddenly hla fingers slipped into a secret little cav ity that his crafty uncle had built Into It. Powers called his sister, Helen, with whom he occupied tho houso left them by Martin, and sho found tho fortune.
