Tke Association of (New York City) has esrtlBei tm the afralatlea aataiasf la its mart as sf m fiai to Items Gathered in From Far and Near Santa Claus and Iconoclasts. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. " Twas the night before Christmas, and all tnrough the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." It is the one suggestively beautiful Christmas fancy that makes the world's great family of children kin. It was written, it is true, long, long after Santa Clans became the Christmas patron saint of childhood's years; it was written, however, long, long before the iconoclasts with ruthless hands began to tear away the exquisite fabric of kiddies' dreams the faith, belief, yes, if one will, even the innocent idolatry that makes of children the beautiful Philistines they are. Santa Claus! Does not the name spell a charm for even you? Does it not bring back delicious memories steeped in vain regret? Does it not recall to you the wonderfully fearful yet hopeful midnight watches of years agone? Those Christmas eves when, tucked in your little trundle, the light burning dimly in the hall without, you waited with nerves a-tense and pulses quickened, hoping, fearing, but wishing with all your heart for a glimpse of him, the thought of whom makes the year but a Christmas to Christmas? Civil Pensions. Prom the Dayton Herald. Now that all the members of Taft's cabinet unite with him in urging that a pension system be adopted for the civil service, not merely as a matter of justice, but of economy, the subject should be viewed carefully and without prejudice by the public and particularly by congress. Years ago the preponderant sentiment of the country began to favor a change by which the clerical staff would become practically paramount so far as politics was concerned, while, of course, the heads would e;o in or out with the party they represented. x This is the rule in Great Britain and it works well. It is getting to be the rule in the llnited States, but the politicians f all parties are still laboring to de ceive the public. This cannot be done much, longer. The staff in every de partment will shortly stay for life, or fiood behavior. In almost every great private business this is the rule. Hut with this thoroughly business-like transformation there comes the duty of the government, a duty recognized already in other countries and in a vast number of private corporations, of taking care in a respectable way of superannuated employes. The Added Insult. From the Philadelphia Ledger. When a person arrested for violation of the speed law says haughtily: '"Do you know who I am?" the answer ought to be about $10 tacked onto the fine. Harmon. From the Springfield Republican. Political observers are beginning to think that if Judson Harmon can manage to be re-elected Governor of Ohio next year, he will have a political future. True. From the New York Herald. A western woman holds that larg feet are evidence of great brains. Maybe. But ifs no place to carry them. Still in Trouble. From the Anaconda Standard. King Leopold's domestic complications live after him. More Shopping. From the Harrisburg Telegraph. Those who shopped early can now go back and purchase the things that they forgot.

ANOTHER CANNON If we are to believe the rumors which are coming out of Washington at the present moment, Mr. Joseph Cannon is seriously considering the resignation of his undoubted inclinations for the next speakership. To the uninitiated this rumor, whether filled with truth or only idle fiction of the moment means several things. It means that Cannon is too great a load to the system, it means that it will be too hard to re-elect the stand pat Rhode Islander-the friend of the special interests. It means that those cunning men who have manipulated the affairs of this government in star chamber sessions are going to try to save the means by which this was accomplishedthe rules. It will give u:i all great pleasure to see that battle st arred warrior for the greater prosperity of a few and the utter disregard of the people, retired. His action has always been on the side of those who were in a position to reward bim, so let us shed no tears over his apparent determination to retire. But keep you;1 eye on the ball. Are you goin to be satisfied by the withdrawing of Mr. Cannon? If you are, you will have another Cannon. The wisest thing to do is to make it impossible for such a thing to happen. Or do you want another Cannon? Cannon, as Speaker of the House of Representatives has the power to keep any member from speaking if he so desires, and to let one of the men belonging to the system fill the time. (And rest assured that this man is ever ready.) Cannon appoints all the committees. (And rest assured that he appoints men who will do his bidding and the bidding of those whom he serves.) More than this, Cannon dictates what committee business shall come up and what shall not. (And all house business is done through committee work.) Cannon owes his power to these rules which stifle all that has not passed the inspection of the interests which actually rule the republic. The retirement of Cannon therefore is a sop to the people. They are too wise to swallow the bait of complete satisfaction. How much better will the condition be if Cannon should designate Mr. Dwight his whip, or some inconspicuous nonentity whose only work in congress has been to introduce a number of pension bills for his constituents and who in reward for his 'right' vote for the system, could be put in as a puppet to be handled? No. More than the mere retirement of Cannon while he pulls the strings, is the thing which the citizens of this republic must guard against and fight for. Cannon and his whole system must go. Make a clean sweep.

While Robert Gamber and George Linderman were engaged in repairing Camber's house, south of town, the scaffold ou which they were standing, broke, and both men fell to the ground, receiving severe injuries. Gamber in falling struck his head against a scantling rendering him unconscious. He was revived shortly afterwards, however, and aside from an ugly gash in his head is not thought to be seriously injured. He is slightly improved today. Linderman suffered a broken rib and was otherwise badly bruised over the body. The men's escape from more serious injury is regarded as remarkable as the scaffold on which they were working was perhaps twenty-fiTe feet from the ground and broke without warning.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.isht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye HARMOMY HAPPINESS HEALTH. And now abidetb harmony, happiness, health, these three, but the greatest of these is harmony. Because Upon harmony depends your happiness, and upon your happiness depends your health. If there is discord anywhere in you, you are wasting energy. The more energy you waste the less vitality you have. The less energy you waste the more vitality you have. And with vitality you can throw off almost any disease. And this is no mere faddism. It is a fact of medical science. When there is harmony, concord, in mind and body, the process of digestion goes on without friction. The food you eat is assimilated goes to the right place and nourishes the cells in body and mind. But Introduce discord; indulge in a bad fit of anger or envy or jealousy; agitate your mind to the point of worry. It matters little, then, what you eat The food does not go to the place and docs not build up the cells. It goes into waste. And the waste clogs the system. What is the matter? Lack of co-operation, harmony. There are variance, strife, discord. In the warring of the members vital force Is lost You are rendered, liable to weakness and disease. And what is true of the digestive is true of the nervous system. Discord, mental or physical, will set your uerves to "jangling like sweet bells out of tune." They will grow ragged and become weak and "jerky" and nag you. The end is prostration. And so of the circulation of the blood and the many other functions of the body. Harmony is a great physician. Working through happiness, it promotes digestion, thrills the blood with vital energy, steadies the nerves in short makes you a man alive! Harmony happiness health. "A threefold cord is not easily broken." Therefore harmonize your life. Allow nothing least of all the petty little things to move you from your poise. Happiness and health depend upon it And the possibility of it lies within your own grasp. Science will tell you that anger and hatred and jealousy and despair and fear are real poisons. It is a fact, tested in the laboratories, that they distill a deadly toxin in the blood. Seeking a Complaint. A young lady who appeared to be in perfect health, but who had a very worried expression upon her blooming face, entered the consulting room of a New York physician early last summer. "Doctor," she said, "it is absolutely essential that I go to White Sulphur Springs." "Oh. perhaps not!" the physician remarked reassuringly. "Tell me fully your symptoms. What do you expect to cure at the springs?" 'That is just what I came to you to find out, doctor." she confessed. "You see, I have got to talk with papa. What do you go to White Sulphur to be cured of ?" Exchange. MASONIC CALENDAR. Monday, Dec. 27. Richmond Comrhandery. No. 8 K.

Mill A VICTIM OF I CONSPIRACY OF THEJTJLIIMS Plot Which Forced Him From Vatican Followed by Another Which Drove Out the 0ther Anglo-Saxon.

LATTER PLOT CAUSES DUEL WITH PISTOLS Since the Retirement of the American and the Irishman There Is an English-Speaking Vacancy. The following dispatch from Rome refers to Francis McN'utt, a former Richmond man. It deals with the mystery which surrounds his disgrace at the Vatican. Richmond friends of Mr. McN'utt will not entirely agree with some statements made in the dispatch as they know that the real cause of his downfall was the fact that he was the victim of a plot, hatched by Italians who were jealous of the favor shown the American by the late Pope Leo. Tlie dispatch referred to follows: Story Is An Odd One. "Roman society is discussing with great interest the probable results of a domestic scanda! and a subsequent duel and divorce case, affecting persons hitherto closely connected with the Vatican. Many Americans will remember Commendator Heywood, who for many years, under the pontificate of Leo XIII., acted as a kind of AngloAmerican representative to the Holy See. He was a private chamberlain to the Pope, and in this position, there, being no diplomatic representative to the papacy either from England or America, he was intrusted with the presentation to the Pontiff of missions or envoys from Englishspeaking countries, whom he lavishly entertained at the beautiful Palazzo Torlonia, which he occupied at Piaz za Scossacavalli, close to the Aposto lic Palace. There, besides many wonderful art treasures, he had 'a rich and most valuable library, which he left in his will to the American col lege. When he died his robe fell on the shoulders of Francis McNutt for Am erican affairs, and on those of a young Irishman, created a Marquis by Leo XIII., for the affairs of the British Empire. As can be easily imagined, the rivalry between the two gentlemen was very keen, each trying to outdo the other in splendor and influ ence. Had Diplomatic Career. Mr. McNutt started his active career about 1885 as a student at the American college, intending to enter the priesthood, but he left when he found he had no vocation for some of the vows that career implies. Under the Cleveland administration he was secretary first at the American Legation at Madrid, and then at that of Constantinople. His marriage with Margaret Ogden gave him ample means to settle in the Eternal City in a truly royal apart ment at the Palazzo Doria-Pamphill, which soon became the center of the "black" Roman aristocracy. Sumptuous dinners and leceptions were given there, with the participation of car dinals and the diplomatic body accredited to the Holy See. All kinds nf honors were conferred upon him by the Vatican, and he soon became first Chamberlain to the Pope, of whom only six exist, and whose position is irremovable. It would take too long to describe the honorific and confidential missions which he was entrusted by the HobSee, but it will b sufficient to recall that in 1'.x- he acted as a sort of mid dleman between the Vatican and the mission sent here by President Roosevelt, headed by the then Governor Taft. With the advent of Pius X. the position of the American Chamberlain had become een stronger as the secretary of state. In l!k.", however, his fall suddenly came, he being arrested under an accusation. The scandal was immense and he was ordered to re sign all pontifical honors. Wife Causes Downfall. After this the Irish Chamberlain took over Mr. McNutt's place, but when Leo XIII. died, his position being only during the lifetime of the Pontiff, who appointed him, serious difficulties were encountered to his reinstatement. Even his mother came purposely to Rome and was received by Pius X. She demonstrated to him the false position in which her son would be placed if he were no more Chamberlain when throughout his numerous acquaintances he was known as bein ai. the Papal court. Many cardinals took up his case and going to the bottom of the objections, found that the opposition came from Cardinal Cagiano do Azvedo, who confidentially said that reports received seemed to show that the wife of the Irish Chamberlain, a" very handsome South American niece of Cardinal Ar coverde de Aubuqnerque Cavalcanti. Archbiship of Rio Janeiro, was not sufficiently reserved in her conduct. In the end the Pope, rindhearted as he always is, decided, as nothing could personally be said against the gentleman in question, to reappoint him. He Spurned Suspicion. Some friends hinted to the Chamber lain the real cause of the trouble, but he indignantly spurned any suspicion against the absolute correctness of his wife. Outsiders, however, gradu-

Even her husband ended by opening his eyes and on being satisfied that he had proof of her waywardness the scandal broke out. a duel with pistols was fought without any consequences, and a lawsuit for divorce has been institut ed before the courts of Paris, where they were married. At the same time he resigned all his positions at the Vatican, which he could no longer hold, considering that the Catholic church strongly condemns duelling and absolutely forbids divorce. Thus the Vatican is now deprived of any Anglo-Saxon Chamberlain attached to the Papal court possessins the wealth and prestige, required for certain missions and offices, which even an American cardinal residing in Rome could not undertake on account of their worldly character. There is, therefore, an opening for the several American Chambenains now residing in the United States. . T. FOSLER DEAD Proprietor of Fosler Bottling Works Was III for a Long Period. A WAYNE COUNTY NATIVE I. T. Fosler, aged 63 years, died early yesterday morning at his home. 119 North Seventh street. Death was due primarily to heart trouble, but the deceased was also afflicted with a complication of diseases. Mr. Fosler is survived by his wife, one daughter, Miss Constance, and six sons. William. Frank, John, Wayne, Harvey and Herbert. Two sisters. Mrs. Grimes and Mrs. Weisheimer, both of Fort Wayne, also survive him. Mr. Fosler was very well known in this city. He was the owner of the Fosler bottling factory and for the past twenty-five years he has been engaged in the manufacture of soda water, and in that business was unusually successful. He was born in Wayne county near Olive Hill, northwest of the city. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Reid Memorial church. Dr. S. R. Lyons officiating. The casket will not be opened at the church. Friends may call at the home Tuesday afteri noon and evening. It is requested that flowers kindly be omitted. Few Women Stop to Consider Trifles. If every woman stopped when she j makes up her mind to buy a thing and asked herself. "Is it practical?" "Will it wash and will it wear?" "Is it worth the price?" many concerns now prospering and flourishing would have to go out of business. But the average woman does not do her shopping in that way. She sees something that she likes, something pretty, something that takes her fancy, and she buys it And many of the shops where fancy trifles are to be had count upon this as one of their surest sources of big receipts. Like the man who drinks it is not what he eats that costs the money, it is what i he drinks. And with womankind in their dress it is not the staples of life which cost the most; it is the luxuries. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to express our many thanks for the kindness and sympathy shown U3 by our many friends, neighbors and relatives; also for the beautiful floral offerings during the sickness and death of dear wife and mother. Richard Lane. Myron Lane, Roland Lane. Good Things Are Great. Everything great is not always good. but all good things are great, said j Demosthenes.

The perquisites allowed officers in the navy will aggregate nearly threequarters of a million dollars in 1911. Of this amount $144,449 will be spent in providing heat and light The heaviest item of cost in the allowances granted the naval officers, in addition to their pay, is in the matter of quarters for those who cannot be accommodated in buildings or bouses maintained by the government The commutation of quarters will aggregate $i35,6S0, while the commutation of rations, figured at thirty cents a day, will reach a total of $165,456. The payroll of the enlisted men in the navy during the fiscal year 1911 will aggregate nearly $18,000,000. This sum will take care ot the 41.723 men in the general service. 454 men in the insular force and 1,156 prisoners un dor sentence by court martial.
