Av 3mth, chancellor of the exchequer, who will succeed to the premiership should continued ill health force the retirement of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, has represented the district of Fife in the Jiouss of Commons since 1886. He was elected to his present position la 1905, when the Liberals came into power and Sir Henry was made prime minister. Prior to his election to the House of Commons at the are of 84 he wes a successful lawyer, and though he baa been an active party worker, and tha chief lieutenant of Sir Henry prior to the latter's elevation to the premiership, he continued to devota much of his time to the legal profession. As chancellor of the exchequer, however, he has largely abandoned his practice. An accomplished and trained debater, he won quick recognition, Mr.

Gladstone giving him ministerial rank after the briefest of training. His greatest success came in opposing Mr. Chamberlain's tariff policy. He followed him upon his circuit in the most memorable of his campaigns, took us his protection speeches in detail snd tore them to tatters with clean-cut, forceful argument, and at once Jumped into the forefront as the champion of free trade. Since hie return from France, where ha went for medical treatment several months ago, the premier's condition has shown improvement.

is generally understood that if this condition continues until after Faster he will resign. CAN YOU HELP THIS MOTHER? IT YOTJ HAVE SEES THIS BOY NOTIFY THE EDITOR OF WIS XEWSrATER AT OXCE.

Police Believe Pittston Burglar Was I'crpetratefl by a Female; Pittston police and the State Con stabulary now believe a woman burglar Is operating in that town. Chief of Police Price, in investigating the burlary at the residence of L. W. BIbly, where James Young, a boarder, had $400 In bills stolen, came across a woman's broken garter close to where the 180 had been found on the floor. Young pleaded not guilty of having owned the garter and the conclusion was reached that it was dropped there after Young went tn work last Wed- nesday afternoon.

Had It been thera before he went to work he would certainly have noticed it on the floor, ha says. The officers have a theory of the case and it is not Improbable that arrests will be made soon.

TELEPOST COMPANY MAKING PROGRESS Firm Will Use liependent Wires. IS A GREAT ADVANTAGE COMPANY AT AN EXCEEDINGLY LOWRATEWlLTTMAKEr GOOD PROFITS.

NBW TORK, Feb. 29. Although obliged ia. carry.jorilta. construction operations as quietly as possible, the new telegraph company, the Telepost, la making excellent progress with the establishment "of its lines.

"Every ten miles we can get built before the old companies know what we are doing," a Telepost official says, "means a saving of at least 60 per cent. That we ara making rapid headway with our lines is shown by our expenditures for poles and cross-arms now in place." Besides Its own construction, the Telepost, especially in the western states, wUl hare the advantage of using independent telephone wlree. Using the Delany automatic sending and receiving apparatus, the Telepost can make four wires do the work of -sixty-eight as operated by the best of existing methods. This gives a tremendous advantage to the Telepost in two most important particulars, first cost and maintenance of lines. This and other eoonomies make possible a high rate of earnings on the Telepost's rate of 25 cents for 25 words between all points.

On "tele-posts" delivery at destination through the malls, the rate Is only 25 cents for 60 It's net cost per meosage is figured at 11 cents, while the Western Union and Postal cost is 30 cents. This comparison shows a net profit of 14 cants per message to the new company even at its much lower rates. It's true, common skin becomes satin skin using Satin Skin cream, and powder.
