Effect of Their Warm Drink la the
Morning.
"A' year ago I was a wreck from cof
ifee drinking and was on the point of
giving up my position in the school
room because of my excessive nervous
jness. "I was telling1 a friend about it and
ahe said, 'we drink nothing; at meal time
but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such
a comfort to have something we can en
Joy drinking with the children.
"I was astonished that she would sj
low the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink In the world for
children aa well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact,
"Just a little thought convinced me
that one Khould not take a stimulant
such as coffee, but really should have
the best food to nourish the brain and
nerves, and that nourishment was found
in Postum.
"My first trial was a failure. The cook
boiled it four or five minutes and it
tasted so fiat that I was in despair but
determined to give It one more trial.
This time we fallowed the directions
and boiled it fifteen minutes after the
boiling began. It was a decided success
and I was completely won by its rich,
delicious flavor. In a short time I
noticed a. decided improvement in my
condition and kept growing better and
better month after month, until now
I am perfectly heaitay, and do my work

TO IXCLUJJE PORTO RICO.
American federation of Labor Would
Affiliate With Island Brethren.
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 12. The first
matter of importance taken up at the
morning session of the American Fed
eration of Labor convention was the
third clause of the resolutions with-reference
to. the labor unions of Porto Rico.
Upon this matter the convention adopt
ed a declaration recommending to all
affiliated unions whose trade xr calling
is pursued in Porto Rico, that they take
prompt action for the purpose of dis
seminating information in Porto Rico
necessary to give the Porto Ricans op
portunity to become allied with na
tion or international trade associations
in America. It was also recommended
that the American national unions
have their constitutions translated into
the Spanish language; and that the in
coming executive council of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor take action
promptly to carry out the plans and
purposes of the American labor move
ment in Porto Rico, appropriating $3,000
to carry this resolution into effect.
The convention concurred in resolu
tions previously presented, declaring un
alterable opposition to the "anti-scaip-ing"
bill, now before the committee on
foreign and interstate commerce in both
houses of congress.
An animated discussion arose over a
resolution for a labor portfolio in the
cabinet, upon which the committee re
ported adversely. The original resolu
tion was as follows:
"Whereas, The experience of the past
shows the practicable impossibility of
obtaining adequate labor legislation
without official governmental standing;
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that a governmental depart
ment of labor should be formed, the head
of which should have a place in the cab
inet of the president of the United
States, and be it further
"Resolved, That said cabinet officer
should be a bonaflde trade unionist.
"And, further, that the incoming ex
ecutive board shall have power to act
as to them seems best in furthering' the
objects of this resolution."
Vice President Duncan opposed the
resolutions on the ground that the dis
tinct stipulation for a bonafide trade
unionist would prove a source of weak
ness and probably defeat the purpose
of the convention in framing this meas
ure. Delegate Max Hayes of Cleveland, in
defending the resolutions, made a point
of the fact that a member of the French
cabinet, M. Milleraud, was, he alleged,
a trade unionist. Delegate Ajjard of
St, Louis opposed the resolutions as pre
sented. Delegate Turnsette of San Francisco
opposed the recommendation that a cab
inet officer be taken from any particular
class of society, on the ground that the
American form of government is not
the parliamentary form, and that the
cabinet members are the personal ad
visers of the president.
Delegate Warner of New York said his
experience had not led him to put much
confidence in the average labor repre
sentative in places of trust and responsi
bility in some of the state governments.
"I would sooner see Mark Hanna," he
said, "representing our interests than
some of the labor representatives who
hold positions in some states."
Treasurer James B. Lennon of Bloom
ington, 111., said he hoped to see the
time when a trade unionist would be
president of the United States, but he
opposed the adoption of. the resolution
as prescribing too narrow boundaries
for the appointment of a cabinet officer.
The adverse report of the committee
was concurred in by a vote of 7S to 47,
thus killing the resolutions.

THE HERMIT OF WANJs'OG.
Sad Ending of Ex-Confederate Brig
adier General.
New York, Dec. 12. The body of Con
federate Brigadier-General Herman Bins
has been found in Black Swamp, four
miles from Morristown, N. J. He was
known as the hermit of Wanong moun
tain. For thirty-five years Bins had
lived a solitary life on the side of Suc
casunna mountain. He had little to do
with any one, and his retreat was far
removed from the nearest house. His
cabin was found In ashes by those who
w ent to it after the body had been iden
tified. Bins made his appearance on the
mountain in 1865. When he first came
he wore a gray uniform and on it were
the stars of a brigadier general.
Ten years after Bins settled on the
mountain his life story came out
through no fault of his. William Becker,
a veteran of the Union army, who had
occasion to visit A-tlanta in 1S75, com
menced an investigation and found from
the Confederate records that Herman
Bins had enlisted as a minor officer soon
after Sumter was fired upon. He rose
rapidly and at the close of the war had
the rank of brigadier.
At the outbreak of the war Bins was
a well-to-do planter in middle Georgia.
While he was in the army his two chil
dren died. When Sherman marched to
the sea, cutting a gap through Georgia,
and leaving desolation behind, Bins'
home was one of the places of which
nothing remained but ashes. Mrs. Bins
had fled before the arrival of Sherman
and joined the refugees. Exposure and
hardship brought her to her death.
When he returned to his plantation he
found the ashes of his home, the graves
ot his children and near them the grave
of his wife, whom faithful slaves had
carried to' the plantation and buried.
General Bins at once left and until Mr.
Becker informed them his friends did
not know what had become of him.
No one knows how the old man came
to his death.
SAYS IT IS SOLVED.
German Ambassador Discusses the
Chinese Question.
New York, Dec. 12. A special to the
World from Washington, D. C, says:
Herr von Holleben, the imperial Ger
man ambassador, discussing the Chi
nese situation, said:
"The Chinese question, so far as vital
issues are concerned, may be treated as
solved. The work of the powers in
China is now one of detail. Contro.
versial elements and units must be
grouped and administrative functions
must be made secure. Granting the
postulate that Chinese integrity must be
preserved, there is nothing left of the
Chinese situation but careful labor to
ascertain the relative rights of all par
ties concerned.
"The vital questions from this time
will be the disposition of the various
treaty rights and concessions. Germany
stands for open ports and free access to
the Oriental trade. If new treaties are
negotiated individually by the powers
with China or collectively by the con
gress of ministers now in session at
Pekin other questions of detail and
administration may obtrude themselves.
"In this connection each power will
carefully scrutinize the situation for its
own interest. There is no reason, how
ever, to ajprehend any disagreemnet.
So far as the relations of Germany and
the United States are concerned, it is
only to be said that they could not be
more cordial. The freedom of trade and
intercourse in the Philipipnes. encour
aged by the United States under the
difficulties at present existing, are an
exceptional guarantee . and example
against unwise seinshness throughout
the Orient.
"The sentiment so carefully fostered
by certain interests that Germany is
hostile to American progress or trade is
to be regretted.
"The two countries have similar poli
cies of protection to domestic indus
tries and prosperity. In detail these in
terests may some times clash. Various
regulations of the customs and lm
port laws of the United States weigh
heavily upon German commerce. Ameri
cans held that the German laws regu
lating the importation of meats to Ger
many are detrimental of their advan
tage. These are the necessary se
quences of kindred policies.
"On the other hand, the parcels post
facilities, the desire to maintain the
German steamship lines profitably and
a kindly German desire to trade with
the United States make the Atlantic
commerce between the countries prac
tically reciprocal. In such circum
stances mischievous attempts to preju
dice public opinion may be ignored. The
trade world is not sentimental. It un
derstands relative situations."

IN SELF DEFENSE.
Minister Wu Refers to Bis Lecture at
Carnegie Institute.
Philadelphia, Dec. 12. Wu Ting Fang,
who came here to deliver an address be
fore the Contemporary club, made a
statemrnt in regard to his address be
fore the Ethical Culture society in New
York last Sunday on Confucius, com
ments upon which have since been
printed, in which he says:
"I am afraid the scope of my address
delivered at New York last Sunday at
Carnegie hall is not made clear by the
reports published in the papers. It was
far from my intention to make any at
tack on any religion whatever in the
world, much less on Christianity. My
theme was Confucius. The doctrines of
Confucius are Imperfectly understood in
tnis country by people, ana my iasa
was to make clear in as succinct a man
ner as possible, without taking too
much time, the cardinal points of Con
fucianism. In order to make it clear to
an American audience, I chose the. best
form of religion and that is Christian!
ty. which was well known in this coun
try and which is considered the highest
form of religion ever known, to be the
standard by which comparison can be
made, and I tried to compare the doc
trine of Confucianism with the superior
form of religion. It was not my inten
tion to make an attack on Christianity.
Taking that as the standard, instead of
being considered as an attack, it should,
be as a comDliment. I wanted to com
pare on what points Confucius could
come up to the standard of Christianity
and if the full text of my address was
published, this would be clear to tne
reader; but unfortunately I have not
seen a full account of it in any of the
papers containing my speech. I espe
cially stated that some of the senti
ments of Christ were very noble and
Brand, so much so that it was very diffi
cult for men to attain to them, and I
quoted some of the sayings of Confucius
to show that Confucius, though not up
to so high a standard as that of Christi
anity, was a practical man. He was
preaching his doctrine to his country
men and inculcating in them to tollow
his advice in a practical way and he
himself set an example of his doctrine.
And it is true that I said that some of
the Christian people, or people profes
sing Christianity, did not act up to the
tenets of Christianity. That is not the
fault of Christianity but the fault of
those in not following the tenets of their
religion. That surely can not be con
sidered an attack on Christianity.
"I have been reading portions of the
Bible and have the greatest respect for
it, said I appreciate the Bible, and great
ly respect Christianity, and I have never
in my lire made any attack on Christi
anity. I may have said that some of the
doctrines are too grand and too elevated
for man to follow, but that, instead of
an adverse criticism, is in praise of the
high standard of that creed. I hope
that the clergymen and missionaries will
not come to any conclusion by reading
the Incomplete reports published in tee
papers."
The gallaries of the Art club were
crowded last night by invited guests of
the Contemporary club to hear Min
ister Wu deliver an address entitled
"The Chinese View." He was cordially
received. In his address' Mr. Wu dwelt
upon the five cardinal relations of man
kind as seen by the Chinese nation. He
drew many interesting as well as amus
ing comparisons between the customs
of his own and of the American people
After speaking of the great age of the
Chinese nation, Minister Wu said:
"Let us inquire into the cause or
rather combination of causes, namely,
the five cardinal relations of mankind.
That is to say first, between sovereign
and ministers and subjects; second, be
tween parent and child; third, between
elder and younger or between superior
and inferior; fourth, the -husband and
wile, and last, between friend and
friend. In the first case the attribute
is benevolence on the part of the sov
ereign and respect on the part of the
subject. In the second relation the par
ent must be kind and the child obedient.
Between the elder and the younger there
must be respect on the part of Uie lat
ter. Concerning the fourth relation
righteousness is the husband's attrib
ute, while submission is the duty of the
wife. The duty of friends is to be
faithful and truthful."
The speaker expanded on each of the
five relations, giving the result of their
special application In China and his
view of corresponding relations In Amer
ica, He spoke particularly o the sec
ond relation, saying that in America it
was customary for the son to sit in the
presence of the father. If my son
should sit in my presence," jocularlv de
clared the minister, "I would punch his
head.
In conclusion Mr. Wu said:
"Although our civilization is not per
fect, yet it has stood the test of years
well and the nation still exists. Of
course in many respects the-custorns and
manners of your country and my coun
try are different, but there are pood
points in each. I think if each of us
could learn the other's good features
and profit by them it would be well.
We must understand each other better,
for much of the present trouble has
arisen from misunderstanding. What
you think is right we may think wron.
Therefore, it is important that we Judge
not from our standpoint but from the
other's point of view. In our country
we are gvided by duty; in yours love is
the guiding principle. I think we would
be more happy if we could strike a me
dium." LOCAL TAUPE YILLE.
