From tbe thirty-first day of October to the eleventh day of November, 18M, the crew of tbe U. 8.

life-saving station at Cleveland. Ohio, saved twenty -seven men and two woman from Teasels thrown ashore by the storms that lashed the waters of Lake Erie. To each of the nine men in the crew the government gold medal for beroto dariag was awarded. One of the crew was Obas. It.

Learned. While attempting to get a line to a distressed vessel, the life-boat capsized and, when the boat rolled over, he was caaght beneath it. Finally he was washed oat by the waves and drifted ashore where helping hands revived him. The other members of the life crew made their way to the shore and hurried for the beach apparatus. In about one honr and a half they returned and Learned had so far recovered that ho made his way to the scene of the wreck and took his place with the crew.

All hands were saved, but Learned 's career as a life-saver was ended. In relating the story, he said that rheumatism quickly set in as a result of the cold and exposure. This was complicated with neuralgia. "I had such pains in my back that I could hardly move," he says, "and the least excitement would cause my heart to beat violently. I had to be very careful of my diet and suffered much distress after eating.

I could not sleep, my head ached, I was all run-down and discouraged. Having been disabled in the government service, I received something over six hundred dollars in addition to my gold medal." Mr. Learned is now a prosperous farmer at Sandy Creek, N.Y., and the story of his restoration to activity is best told as he tells it. "About four years ago," he says, "I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mentioned in a newspaper.

I tried them and firmly believe that if I had not I should be in my grave now. The pills began to help me in less than a week. Not only did they benefit my rheumatism, but they built up my strength, so that I was soon able to do a bigger day's work than in years before. The insomnia disappeared and sleep was sound and refreshing." Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People may be had of all druggists or direct from the Dr.

C. HUMPHREY. Warm Weather Helps Railroads in Relieving Freight Congestion. BETTER TONE IN FINANCES Speculation Shows no Defect In General Business Heavy Holiday Trade Assured Dairy Products Are Stronger Export Trade Returns Are Favorable. New York, Nov.

2L Bradstreet's Nov. 22, will say of tbe state of trade: Favorable conditions still govern the trade situation. The mild, open fall weather is complained of as restricting the movement of winter goods at retail and delaying collections at a few points but it is not to be forgotten that present temperatures favor the continued growth of the cotton crop and a larger yield than heretofore expected, while it is enabling the railroads to make a far better fight against the prevailing freight congestion than was earlier deemed possible. In financial circles the tone is rather better. The feeling grows that much heedless speculation has been liquidated without revealing any important structural de fects in the general business world.

From Western centers the report comes that money has ceased to flow to the country, and that the return movement has begun. Hank clearings show gains over last week and last year, in keeping with the general ly acknowledged increased activity in all business lines. Export trade returns look better than preliminary reports foreshadowed. The outlook is apparently for a heavy distribution of Christmas goods. particularly jewelry and fancy articles.

Spring business, too, Is in a more forward condition than in previous years. The railroad situation is certainly a re markable one. The complaint i9 no longer one of car shortages, of lack ef motive power even of Insufficient yard facilities. The fact is becoming apparent that the business of the country offered to the railroads is so large that new measures must be devised to meet new conditions. Even among railroad men the use of water routes as a relief to the congestion is welcomed.

At several centres the one drawback to an otherwise ideal trade sit uation is the difficulty of obtaining supplies of fuel, iron and steel, lumber and manufactured merchandise, which have been bought but cannot be delivered to consumers because of freight blockades. The anticipated reaction in raw cotton came promptly on time and the sympa thetic weakness manifested last week has apparently disappeared. The strength of the spot cotton situation has been a notable feature, the actual product advancing early, even while futures were shrinking. The net gain on the week ha been nearly one-third of a cent in futures and one-fifth of a cent in "spots." The strength of the raw material has been of benefit to the cotton goods market, which, however, remains quiet but steady. The woolen goods situation is without special feature, the mills being well employed and the raw product being taken liberally at firm prices.

Leather and hides have ruled steady in price, and; manufacturers of shoes report quite good orders for the season. The iron trade situation is rather stronger than a week ago. Pig iron prices, immediate delivery, are slightly higher. The fuel scarcity still dominates the situation and prevents production approaching more nearly to a parity with consumption. Plate and structural men are heavily sold ahead, and the latter continues quite active, despite the advanced stage of the session.

Good sized transactions In steel billets are reported occurring at Pittsburg. Tnere is little new to report among the finished products. tHeavy hardware is reported quieter at Western markets but light hardware Is active, and the only complaint is of delayed deliveries. Dairy products naturally feel the influence of the advancing stage of the season. The talk of war in the sugar trade has suddenly ceased coincident apparently with the discovery by the beet sugar men that prices now prevailing are unprofitable, and that recent arrivals of California beet sugar might better be stored than put on the market.

The strength of the raw product is unabated. Business failures for the week ending November 20, number 201 as against 206 last week, and 223 in this week last year. ROCK ISLAND TRAIN HELD UP. Davenport, Iowa, Nov. ZL Robbers held up a Rock Island train to-night two miles west of Davenport.

The whole police force of Davenport has gone to the scene. It is reported that the robbers numbered 12 men. BRIGANDAGE IN HAVERHILL An old horse dragged a livery wagon down a mud-paved street in Haverhill. "I wish I were an automobile loaded with oats," he sighed then switched an imaginary fly with an imaginary tall. The driver, an escaped cartoon, sat humped up, like a pained dromedary.

Behind a flock of Gooseberry bushes a dozen boys, half grown and hungry with an insatiable hunger, gnawed onion tops and held high carnival of covetousness. "See the Ready Bits (Ready Bits is the only thoroughly cooked, whole wheat maltosed food made) and that there wagon," said Hoodlumkins. "Let's swipe "em," suggested Gamlni. "They'd be bully feed for us catamount-hearted Sons of Fearnaught the One-eyed Man-destroyer." "It's a go," assented the others in emphatic tones of breath. They rose as one man.

Hoodlumkins gave the command with the precision of a Warren: "One, two, three git!" With a mighty whooplab. "The Assyrian cams down Like a wolf on the fold." The driver of the wagon, catching one whiff of the advancing foe, leaped over the dashboard, caught his landed on one elbow and both ears, scrambled up, and then, ejecting mud and dire blasphemies ran like a rich congressman. He returned in ten minutes with all the policemen he had been able to wake up. They found the old horss calmly chewing his cud and wishing himself an automobile; they found the wagon surrounded by a dozen well-fed looking boys of toadlike girth and contented countenance. "Concernln' and appertain to this outrage on the peace n' dignity of the people of the State of Massachusetts, is them the looters?" roared the chief.

"Blamed if I know." said the driver, looking sheepish and rubbing his drooping chin, slowly. "I think them's them, but. scat me. If they don't Iook so so healthy an' handsome-like since eatin' ail them Ready Bits, that so help me, I can't identify 'em."

AN UNPRECEDENTED CROWD Cven Beta Mad That Harvard Will Not Score Most Wttn Ar Three to Two Tha Crimson Team Confl-dent Two Students Arrested lor Fighting Ticket Broker. New Haven.

Nov. 27- An unprecedented crowd of college men and their friends arrived In this city to-night. They have crowded every available place of shelter and the tax upon the hotels, tains, and boar ding houses Is unprecedented. More money will probably be placed upon the issue of to-morrow's contest than In any previous foot ball game. Tale is willing to give odds, some small bets even being laid at odds of 2 to In tha main the wagers are three to two and larger wagers more cautiously placed.

Odds are even that Harvard will not score. An interested group of young men stood In the corridor of the New Haven house early in the evening. They were the Tale players. They shook hands with friends and accepted their well wishes until M. C.

Murphy, trainer of the team, and his assistants bundled them oft to a quiet spot. The practice this afternoon was perfunctory and very brief. The regular team was sent Into signal drill for 20 minutes, caught a few punts by Bowman and Van-Cerpoel his understudy, and then the seniors joined hands at the Are which Is always kindled to signalise the last day of the foot ball season. The men sang their parting and returned to the gymnasium. Signal drill to-morrow morning is all tbe work expected of them before leaving for the field.

The Harvard eleven arrived in the city early this afternoon end at once, went to Morris Cove by cars. The players are. said to be In excellent physical condition and buoyant with hope. Harvard had light practice this afternoon on the lawns in the rear of the club sad will again drill to-morrow. Those who saw them are impressed with the speed of the team, and the strength of the players.

It is believed by competent experts that Tale will be tried out by Harvard in better fashion than Princeton was able to do. The game will undoubtedly be one between teams as nearly evenly matched as possible, judging from the appearance of both and the remarks of those who are privileged to know the exact condition prevailing In their respective camps. The gridiron was covered this afternoon with straw to keep It In condition for the game. The carpenters rushed the work of adding to the huge stands to-day with redoubled efforts but they will need to work to-morrow morning to complete the task. Six hundred seats more than planned will be available as an extra tier or two have been added.

The Yale foot ball authorities were not willing to make any prediction to-night as to the Issue of the game. They expressed confidence, however, in the abilities of the players as individual and in the team as an entity: The field coach. Swan, said: "We believe are In better physical condition to-night than we were a week ago and we expect a good and well played game by both teams." INVESTIGATING FIGHT WITH TICKET HEN'. New Haven. Nov.

ii The detectives of this city to-day began an investigation into the exciting flght in which a company of Tale students engaged last evening with speculators who were dealing in theatre and foot ball tickets for the Tale-Harvard game. Warrants were worn out for the arrest of William H. Barnum. 'M. and Bradford Ellsworth.

'03. Barnum's horns is In Mamaroneck. N. T. Tie was captain of the 1S05 freshman crew.

Ellsworth's home Is In New York city. Barnum gave bonds of $300 and Ellsworth J1.00O. The charge lodged against both men Is breach of the peace. The police say that this charge may be changed later if the evidence warrants. EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING District Convention at St.

SVfW VfVfW www www www the Mont Pelee catastrophe with the havoc of the open saloon. The speake said that the saloon is responsible for most of the shipwrecks; he had been in three mutinies caused by saloon rum obtained In ports. Under license, the regulations will be avoided. He could see tbe handwriting on the wall, indicating that the people want a license-local option law.

but they do not want to be bound hand and foot and delivered over to tbe open saloon. One toper bought a barr 1 of rum, put it in his cellar and when lie wanted a drink bought It of his wife so the money would stay In the ramiiy. That was a good idea. If tbe 8tate of Vermont intends to go into the liquor business, let it put a barrel in Its ow.i cellar, pay its money into its own treasury to offset the impoverishment that wiil ensue. Mr.

Marsh "of Sheldon queried as to the definition ot tne word referendum. Mr. O'Sullivan of St Albans city replied without giing a definition. Mr. EUls of Fair Haven explained by referring to the referendum of 50 years ago.

Mr. Fletcher arose and repelled certain insinuations, as to a belting party, and then defined the referendum as a thing of good faith, of legality, tnd something the supreme court has decided on. He repudiated also the term "Clement" referendum, and reiterated some previously expressed views on this subject Mr. Marsh said the dictionary definition of the word Included "power to accept or reject" He urged caution less the republicans be drawn into a combine of those who are not interested lu the party's welfare. On motion of Mr.

Goodhue of Westminster, tbe House adjourned. HOUSE AFTERNOON. The license debate was resumed. Mr. Oonland of Brattleboro said that every member had come here with well defined views on the subject There is no difference of opinion as to the disastrous effects, of excessive liquor drinking.

He believed open saloons might be prefr-able to hidden ones, as they could be watched and regulated. He claimed that the Battell bill established open saloons as much as the other, that it was mere distinction without difference. Mr. Wheeler of Rockingham said discussion here would not change votes. He said he was pledged to stand by a high license-local option act with a referendum, the same as outlined by the governor only referendum discussed or thought of in the campaign.

Some prohibitionists here are as ready to take a drink as local optionists. Mr. Goodhue of Westminster said bis father had aided in the passage of the prohibitory law 50 years ago, being chairman of the Senate temperance committee. It is not true that Vermont is behind other States with respect to temperance legislation. He did not believe that more liquor is sold here than In other States rather the reverse.

As a resident of Massachusetts for many years he had observed that conditions there were no better, to say the least than in Vermont All of us profess to abhor the promiscuous selling of liquor. lie did not thick the people of the State had commonly VT-AtT-stood the referendum to meu the kind of submission proposed In the majority bilL It is an unfair referendum, carrying the act into effect whatever the vote. Th speaker asked Mr. Fletcher if he would aid two years hence In repealing the law. in case the vote should be against the act Mr.

Fletcher of Cavendish replied that he would. Mr. Goodhue asked the same question of Mr. O'Sullivan. Mr.

O'Sullivan of St. Albans said that a a democrat and a non-believer in prohibition he would not feel compelled to agree with a. majority of a contrary view. He explained the attitude of the democrats toward the referendum. If a referendum is to be had, it should be a constitutional one.

The whole law. might fail by reason of a faulty submission. In response to a further Inquiry by Mr. Goodhue. Mr.

Sullivan reiterated that he would continue to oppose the prohibitory law. whatever the result of the referendum. Mr. Abbey of Essex had compared the provisions of the two bills with a view to deciding If the minority bill was a license measure in the party-pk-dge sense of that term. He emphasizd the fea-jtures of commercialism and socialism as conspicuous in the majority bill and In all license systems.

The minority bill. he thought would better conserve th welfare of the 6tate because it shuts oft a tendency toward avarice and socialism. Us constituents are In favor of prohibition, and also in favor of the enactment 'of a license law to be referred to the peo-; pie tyr adoption or rejection. It was regarded as the best move in the Interests of temperance to-day. "Were I to vote for the majority referendum I should fed that I bad voted for high license.

That I cannot do." The speaker closed with a denunciation of the saloon. I Mr. Dartt of Springfield discunsed tha question of constitutionality.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF President to Hold Conference with Republican Leaders Monday on the Subjects as Treated In Hie Message.

Washington. Nov. 2L President Roose velt arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning over the Southern railroad. A little crowd was at the station to welcome his return. As he left the train he shook hands with the engineer and fireman and thanked them for the safe run they had made.

Prior to the meeting of the cabinet which had been called for 11 o'clock the President found time to hold brief Interviews with Senators Burrows of Michigan, Scott of West Virginia and Lodge of Massachusetts. During the next four or five days as opportunity may offer the President will put the finishing touches upon his annual message to Congress. It is understood that the message will be sent to Congress on the second day of the approaching session Tuesday, December 2, owing to the fact that the deaths of members of both houses have occurred during the recess which will necessitate an adjournment on Monday. Several republican leaders in both branches of Congress have been invited by th President to call on him next Monday. He will discuss with them the features of his coming message real ting to trusts and to the tariff.

The President hopes as one result of his conference with the republican leaders to facilitate the work of the approaching session of Congress and pave the way for a settlement of any differences that may arise between them.

He gave statistics showing vicious results of tbe sale of liquor, and the great profits therefrom, and argued that whatever profit there was should go to the people as a whole, through the State treasury.

He portrayed undeslralJe conditions elsewhere that would prevail in Vermont If we took the downward step proposed. Mr. Battell also emphasized the peril included in the selling of liqa jr for private gain, and argued that this should be guarded against by taking the trade out of private hands. He gave facu showing results of the dispensary system in South Carolina and elsewhere. He explained the substitute bill as one inieifded to removf the temptation which the open saloon offers for private gain and sellieh aggrandizement FINAL ADJOURNMENT.

G. W. Morrow, who he said, had never dictated in anyway as regards the tactics of tbe minority in this discussion. He saw no necessity for a second debate when a vote on this amendment was finally reached. So far as he was concerned, there would be no debate over the second move of the minority, which he said would be the substitution of the referendum of the republican convention for the Clement ref erendum attached to the majority bill.

Mr. Dixon of Hardwick. alluded to cer tain concessions; that the supporters of the majority bill had said that the sooner this question is settled the better. This being agreed, our referendum would settle it; theirs would not for in case of a "no" vote the matter would be left open two years longer. As agents of the people it would become us to submit the square question to them.

The democrats believe that the majority referendum is practically no referendum. The speaker quoted John Toung in favor of the constitutionality of the minority referendum. The Clement referendum is 50 years be hind the times. Vermont should be up- to-date. The Massachusetts refereodums are straight Mr.

O'Sullivan of St Albans interrupted to ask If the speaker believed the mi nority referendum was constitutional also the majority one. Mr. Dixon replied that he understood the majority referendum was constitutional, and he firmly believed the minority referendum was. The speaker said the women of the State did not want the saloon; neither did many of the men. Supporters of this bill, some of them, say they don't want the saloon in their town.

Even drinking men have implored him not to let loose tbe open saloon on them. Tbe neaker read from a spirit trade paper condemnatory of the open saloon. The Vermont newspapers don't want the saloons. Our party platform did not promise the wide open saloon. The speaker denounced the saloon and liquor power iro politics.

The minority bill's provisions are superior to the majority's relating to the financial features of the traffic the State and people get the profits. He compared TRAFFIC III ULS.
