WASHINGTON, June 3.-Post- master-General Meyer announced to day that an agreement had been reached with the British Government providing for letter postage of two cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, to become operative October 1, 1908. He stated further that the British postmaster general, Sydney Buxton, was making a like announcement to the House of Commons today. The matter of "penny postage," as it is called in England, has been under consideration for some time and as far back as last July, President Roose Telt approved Mr. Meyer's course in urging a "restricted union with Eng land." On October 1, 1907, the Universal Postal Union, which governs the in ternational postage transactions of the various civilized countries, reduced the rate of letter postage from five cents a half ounce flat to five cents per ounce and three cents for each addi tional ounce, which is the present rate et ween the United States and coun- stricted union. Examples of restrict ed unions are those now existing which permit a two cent an ounce letter rate betwen the United States and Canada. Postmaster General Meyer believes this reduction in the rate to the United Kingdom ultimately will re sult in an increase in receipts because it has been found that a reduction in the letter rate resulted finally in in creased revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to a freer commercial intercourse. Manufacturers, he says, are increas ing their sales in England and must rely to a great extent upon mails for orders and increase of trade. "Further," he stated, "this will be a great boon to our adopted and native English speaking citizens, particularly those of limited means, as it will en able them to keep up correspondence with their relations and friends in the old country at domestic rates."

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Next Monday morning the battleship Maine and Alabama, classed as a special service squadron, will sail for Hampton Roads, by way of Honolu lu and Points beyond. They are the first vessels to be deflected from the Atlantic fleet and will make the long cruise home in advance of the flag ship Connecticut and the others, ar riving at Hampton Roads on Octo ber 22. The fleet proper will not be due at that place until next February. The dropping of the Maine from the fleet is due to the fact that her steaming radius is limited to about 3,700 miles without re-coaling, and there is a stretch of about 4,000 miles to negotiat after the ships leave Hon olulu and before they reach New Zea land. The Alabama is to be detach ed because of her inferior engines, Will You Com Catarrh in Testimony? "I suffered for fifteen years with catarrhal troubles so bad that I had to leave the sea. I could not lie down at night to sleep, on account of the constant catarrhal dropping. I went to two different hospitals for treat ment, but without any lasting benefit. I was constantly raising yellow and green phlegm, and the trouble was so unbearable and nauseating that I was ashamed to go out in company. I have used only two bottles of Hyomei, and have been cured by the remedy. It has made full and com plete recovery." Capt. Willnef. Hyomei is a dry, healing, antisep tic air, extracted from the Eucalyptus groves of Australia. It is a pleasure to use Hyomei, because you do not take it into the stomach; you simply breathe in this germ-killing air, and relief is immediate, and complete re covery comes in a few days. Hyomei outfit, including an inhaler that will last a lifetime, costs $1.00. If it does not cure your cataVrh, asthma, bron chitis, coughs or colds, T. F. Laurin will give you your money back. ijWaKe-UpTableNo.3 inue to Suffer From f Men's Suits, Regular Price i A Q the Face of This , I $18.50 to $22.50 PI4.O0 Wahe-Up Table No. 2 ji Men's Suits, Regular Price io A A ' $10.50 to $20.00 iplZ.vU;; Wahe-Up Table No. 4 j!

Henry B. Harris, who is at present in London, accomplished a genuine theatrical miracle at sea when he in duced the captain of the "Lusitania" to donate part of the receipts of the ship concert to the Actors' Fund rather than to the Seamen's Fund which has been the custom for many years. In speaking of this to a cor respondent in London, Mr. Harris said "As you know, I amTrcasurer of the Actors' Fund and I am very much interested in its welfar. I don't wish to say a word against the claims 'of the seamen's home it is, as far as I know a very worthy charity and de serves the warmest support. But here is the case in a nutshell, These ship concerts are given almost entirely by American artists. They are perfectly willing to offer their services to any good charity, but they have a charity of their own, and it seems only fair that some percentage of the receipts should be given to the charity which the performers support. It so hap pened," proceeded Mr. Harris, "that among the passengers on our ship were, many theatrical artists. When the subject of a concert was broached by the ship's officers we held a meet ing, and after much discussion it was agreed that the actors should all re fuse to take part unless the actors' fund was benefited by the perform ance. Without them there could not have been a concert. The Captain realized this and consented to turn over to the actors' fund 25 per cent, of the receipts. The concert was a success. The ice has now been brok en and the same condition will now be imposed on all other ships when charity concerts are given. Thus the fund will now get what we have been asking for for ten years. It was worth making the trip to Europe for that alone. There is nothing else "just as good" as Kemp's Balsam, the best cough eure, mm the other kinds cost just as mujh si this famous remedy.
