Columbia-Two Cent Rate
BECOMES OPERATIVE OCT. 1
Between United States, Great Britain
and Ireland Has Been Under Con
sideration Since, Last July May
Lead to Lower Rates.
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."

Battleships Will Leave Next Monday
Morning.
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.

NEW YORK. June 3,-Signs
returning confidence are to be seen
on the hotel registers ail over the
ity, for the buyers from out of town
firms have been flocking in of late
seemingly on every train. A remark
able instance of this is at one hotel
where from a single St. Louis dry-
goods house, twenty buyers arc stay-
ng. In former years fifteen buyers
from the larger houses in the West
were usually the limit to be sent here
at one time, and in, a presidential
year the number was much less as a
rule.

MIRACLE AT SEA.
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.
