A NEWSY LETTER FROM OUR REGU LAR CORRESPONDENT. The President Goes to Holyoke - The Flag for Cuban Vessels Ex-Congreas-man Baker Objects to the Extension of the Civil Service Rules. Washington, D. C, June 24 Secre tary Alger met the usual batch of ru mors concerning himself and the War Department upon his return to Wash ington. The rumor of his early resig nation has become such a regular thing that he would really be disap pointed if it failed to meet him after any little absence from his desk. The rumor that Gen. Miles was to be sent to the Fhilippines to command the army was an entirely new one, and en titled to a medal for utter absurdity and Benslessness. Secretary Alger and the entire administration are entirely satisfied with Gen. Otis' conduct of af fairs in the Philippines and have no idea of placing such an indignity upon him as the sending of the Commanding General of the army to the Fhilippines would be. There were a lot more senseless rumors about what had been decided about the army in the Philip pines, which are not worthy of specific mention, for the simple reason that persons of average intelligence should have known that with the President and the Secretary of War both away from Washington there was no one left with authority to decide upon anything important connected with the army, but of course, every one knows that the yellow journals, which originate these rumors, are not printed for persons of average intelligence. More or less amusement was caused in Washington by the solemn an nouncement of one of the big Chicago dailies, which was duly telegraphed all over the country, that it had succeeded in retting trustworthy information thatKepre8entrveJrTrytnTW)m tinue at the head of the House ways and means committee. Representa tive Cannon at the head of the com mittee on appropriations, and Repre sentative Hitt at tho head of the com mittee on foreign affairs. In Washing' ton this great bit of news was fully known from the day that a republican majority jot the House was elected. Those men would have retained their chairmanships no matter who had been chosen Speaker of the House, simply because their extensive experience made them the right men for the places. There has been discussion about other chairmanships but none about these, except by those who were eeking to create bickering in the re publican ranks by saying that it exist ed. Mr. Charles H. Mullen, a well known Pennsylvania republican, who is visit ing Washington, said of politics in the Keystone State : "The larger part of the delegates to the republican state convention, which meets in August, have been elected. The Philadelphia men have not yet been chosen, but they will not be a very large part of the convention, no matter what their affiliations may be. It It safe to say from the delegates already selected, that the entire con vention of 203 members will not con tain more than 40 anti-Quay men, or insurgents, as the regulars call them The sentiment of the party is really with Senator Quay, no matter how much noise the antis may make." Col. Dick, who has been chosen to be chairman of the Ohio state com mittee, has a host of friends in Wash ington who value him as a friend as well as admire him as a political man ager. He smiles when anybody asks him about the extent of the alleged republican revolt in Ohio, which the democratei are so fond of talking about, and says wait until the votes are counted. He declined to discuss the alleged republican kicking because he was made chairman of the state committee, but said of the head of the ticket: "The nomination of Judge Nash was the best that could have been made. He is a popular and strong man all over the state, and his name on the ticket will be worth many votes to the party." Col. Dick seams to take very little interest in who the democrates nominate for governor, because he dosn't think that it will make the slightest difference in the result. Postmaster General Smith has made public letter from F. W. Vaille, dir ector of Posts, at Manilla, concerning the absurd story that volunteer's let ters In the United States were being opened and censored before being for warded. Following is an extract there from :0"lt is not necessary to assure you I am not risking personal liberty . by allowing any letters to be tampered with, and it will be useless to assure the originator of the absurd story of censorship of the mails that he is mis taken, because be knows the story was manufactured for political reasons." General Leonard Wood, who has such a brilliant record as commander of the rough riders and as military governor of Santiago is in demand. The big syndicate of capitalists, which includes ex-Senators Gorman, of Md., and Smith, of N. J., and which has just bought nine Washington railways and two electrio light companies, which it intends to operate under one management has offered General Wood a very large salary to resign from the army and become its president, and he has taken the matter into consider ation.

Died, June 25, at the residence of Mrs. G. S. Green, two and one-half miles from Sullivan, Oren M. Whit- comb, aged 68 years, 10 months and 25 days. Mr. Whitcomb came to Sullivan last November to make as extended visit to the home of his youth. He made his home with his niece, Mrs. Green, He had been sick ever since he came, but since the middle of March had required constant and watchful care. He suffered a fall about two weeks ago, since which time he had not been out of bed. All that tender care and watchful love could do to make his departing days happy and pleasant had been his portion. On Sunday night at 10 o'clock the Angel of Death came to his release. The funeral was held at the Christian church, Tuesday, June 27, at 1 o'clock, Uev. J. A. Findley officiating. Rev. George Hill was taken suddenly ill, Saturday afternoon, and was unable to attend to his duties last Lord's Day. He is not noticeably better today. Mrs. Stowell Rice is in Rochester, caring for her mother, Mrs. Henry Farnsworth, who is dangerously ill. Children's Day was observed in both churches Sunday night. The programs rendered were good. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Chris tian church met with Mrs. J. A. Find- ley on Wednesday afternoon. Don't forget the ice cream social to be given by the ladies of this society at the town hall on the evening of July 4. The Sullivan baseball nine are going over to play the Spencer nine on July 4. They have a fine program, including baseball, dance, races of all kinds, and fireworks in the evening. ,,.

He fished out the two wheels, which were returned to their rightful owners. Hotel de Giar furnishes ice cream and ice cream soda that just melts in your mouth. If you have any doubts, try it. Messrs. G. S. Green and George have the fine new barn on George McConnell'8 south farm ready for the slaters, M. A. Grissinger & Co., who have commenced slating.

Miss Sadie McClellan visited friends in Lorain, Elyria and Oberlin last week, and is the guest of friends in New London this week. Miss Jessie Hull, of Elyria, is visit ing friends in New London and Brigh ton. I was seriously afflicted with n cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being recoin mended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results. Trie first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle lias absolutely cured me. 1 have not had as good health for 20 years. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Heard, Cluremont, Ark. Sold by Near & Wells, Druggists, Welling ton, O. SPENCER. Fanny Betz, who has been in Denver, came home last Thursday.

Mrs. Kindig has sold her land to R. B. Hart, of Medina. Vina Stranp recently returned from the Cleveland School of Music, and has already secured a large class of scholars. PENFIELD. The Full Cream Cheese Co. have lately bought a handsome wagon for their salesman, H. D. Taylor, to carry cheese to their various destinations. We have heard that "there is noth ing new under the sun," but this has been proven wrong by the fact that Penfield is going to make things hump by giving a Fourth of July picnic. Our citizens met at town hall Tuesday evening and appointed committees of ways and means who will endeavor to present us with a program for the days amusement that will be pleasing to all. We understand that this is no denomi national affair, but a simple mingling together of all who will come from all partB of the township. There will be speeches appropriate for the occasion, lightened by recitations and readings, and last but not least, a careful ac quaintance with the lunch baskets. And right here we would say that the ladies of Penfield, as regarded from a hospitable point of view, are not to be grinned at by those who have no teeth. They are very good at providing the creature comforts" that are so essen tial a feature of any picnic. Don't fail to come. As no place has been pub licly announced, as yet, for the picnic, when settled it will probably be posted in the postoffice and other pub lic places, that "he who runs may read." Presumably, Horace Palmer's wood may be the place. We desire to correct a statement made by us in last week's Enterprise. In writing up the mad dog scare we we-e misinformed on some points. It It is always our wish to report truth fully, and we regret exceedingly that our informant's carelessness led us into error. Willard Hart was reported to us as having had several cattle bit- tea by the animal, which we have since ascertained was a great mistake! The dog came from the west, and was not upon Mr. Hart's farm premises at all. We are glad to correct the error, and still more rejoiced to know that Mr. Hart will be no loser, as he is a careful manager and always keeps a good breed of stock on his place. He is one of the intelligent gentleman farmers, who believe in a well stocked farm and in keeping well bred animals that may be relied on at all times. Mrs. Milo Jackson is again under the doctor's care. We regret to learn of her relapse, as she has suffered from illness so long and is the mother of quite a family. It is a heavy dispensa tion of providence. The entire family have our sympathy in their hour of trouble. ROCHESTER. Miss Cohen, of Cleveland, was the guest of Miss Pearl Blair last week.

Children's Day was observed at the Baptist church last Sunday evening. The program of the Publication society was fully carried out, and the affair was a success.

The church was decorated with flowers and the national colors. Ernest Ely, of North Lorain, was in town on Sunday. He came across from Elyria on his wheel. The farmers are busy with their haying.

The reason for this extraordinary patronage is due to the excellence of the system. The ladies everywhere are unprepared in this line of work. For years the masses of the people have been unable to cut and make their own coBtumes. This has been due to the fact that methods have not heretofore provided for cut ting the styles. Many attempts have been made but in all instances their methods have been shrouded in mys tery or limited in cutting waists and linings, leaving all the complicated styles dependent upon the ingenuity of the operator. Now in the introduction of the Dia mond Garment Cutter it is possible for all to learn the art of cutting and making their best costumes, this sup plies a long felt want and combines an accomplishment and a practical feature of domestic education that all ladies should be prepaired for the practical duties of life is admitted by all. The making of the costumes for the family is one of the most prom! nent features of ladies' work, and is a source of more difficulty and trouble to them than all other duties combln ed. Consequently a method of cutting and a course of instruction which obviates thoBe troubles is one of the greatest benefits to womankind, the A . ..a .1 I ' J neeu oi a movement oi tins khiu is ex perienced by all the ladies that this work is up to the demands of fashions as the satisfaction of the many pupils show. The school is in operation every weekday from 8:30 a. m. to 5:30 p. m and each pupil is given individual instruction, consequently ladies may come and go as they like. The num bers of lessons are not limited and may be extended for several weeks if necessary. Ladies from the country may take instruction by coming two or three days a week.
