Boston, Mass, Dec. 31.—The new un-

nresence 01' several thousand persons.
States Takes Formal-
GOMPERS AFTER JOHNSON.
He is Determined to Have the Scalp of
the Eng.-:wing Bureau Director.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Feder-
ation of Labor, is determined to se-
cure the scaln of Director. Claude
Johnson of the bureau of engraving
and printing.
The movementto oust him from of-
fice, President Gompers says, will be
prosecuted both in Congress and the
treasury department, and, if necessary
the president himself will be appealed
to.
“Johnson is one of the holdover gold
Democrats,” said Mr. Gompers, “and
has defied the present Congress in the
most insolent manner possible by de
liberately placingmachine presses in
the bureau contrary to the explicit or-
ders of Congress.
“He takes upon himself all the pow-
er, and when importuned to pay union
wages and employ union help in his
department, says:
“ ‘Why, I can get any number of
girls to do the work at three dollars a
week.’ ‘
”For years the smaller denomina~
tions of our money have been deterio-
rating. The one,_ two and five dollar
bills have been getting poorer and
pdorer. These are the bills the com-
mon people get. But the hundred, five
hundred and thousand dollar bills, that
the rich only handle, are put up with
all the skill and art that science can
command.
“The smaller bilis are the ones in
common use, the ones most. often
counterfeited, and should be surroun-
ded with all possible safeguards. John-
son thinks that he is intrenched in the
treasury department, and is doing his
utmost to drag Secretary Gage and his
other superiors into the controversy, to
make them stand between him and the
consequences of his acts.
“Let these superiors beware lest they
receive the punishment that he dc-
serves, and that he will surely rc—
ccive.” -
Starts ('01- the Capital.
New York, Dec. 31.—Colcnel Roose-
velt left this city for Albany on the
one o‘clock train over the New York
Central Railroad yesterday afternoon.
He was accompanied by his entire
family and was met at the Grand Con--
tral station by Congressman Sereno
Payne, with whom he said he would
discuss political affairs on his way
to the capital.
15,1119; crowd had gathered in and.
about the waiting room to See the in—
coming gm'crnor off.
Colonel Roosevelt eluded it at first
by entering the station through a side
door. He soon had to go to the wait-
ing room' entrance to meet his family,
which had driven to the station in a
carriage, and when he appeared many
rushed forward, eager to grasp his
hand.
YVhen he passed through the gate to
the train the gathered crowd wished
him good luck.
Full-stint: and the. Jews
Washington. D. C., Dec.
partment of state has received from
the limited States minister at Con-
stantinople information that the min—
ister of foreign affairs, of Turkey, had
informed him that the Turkish gov-
ernment had no intention of prevent—
ing American citizens, whether Jews
or Christians. coming as individuals,
and not en masse, from visiting Syria
or Palestine as travelers or visitors, the
only object of that government being
to prevent further colonization of Pal—
estine by Jews, as the settlement there
of religious bodies in preponderating
numbers might lead to political com—
plications. which it is the purpose of
the Ottoman empire to avoid.
The foregoing official announcement

lishment of a Jewish nation in Pales-
tine.

Moncure D. Conway, who has long
made a special Study of Washington’s
life, says there is no truth whatever
in the tradition that Frederick the
Great transmitted a. sword to \Vash-
ing-to-n with the message: “From the
oldest General in the world to the
greatest.” Carlyle told Mr. Conway
that there is not the slightest founda-
tion for the story, though it had found
its way into several histories. Nor
was Frederick the first sovereign
to recognize the independence of
the United States. In fact, he never
recognized it, but allowed the Hes-
si-ans to be sent to America in the ser-
vice of King George.
v- '1'
A Iona Fide Remedy.
One reason that we so enthusiastically en-
dorse Vinol is that it is a genuine remedy.
Viziol is not a patent medicine, nor does Vinol
1 contain any ingredient that is not {tinted on
the label of each bottle.
llr. Warren Toppan, of Lynn, who is a
prominent chemist of that city, is impressed
by the merits of Vinol largely on this account.
IE0 writes as follows :—
“Another great point that impresses me
strongly in favor of Vinol is the fact it is an
absolutely honest remedy, that contains _on
‘ its label a description of everything of which
it is composed. On this account Vinol should
be placed in an entirely different class from
the many patent ined1cines and secret nos-
trums of which the public have become sus-
picious.” .
Vinol we have learned by enpenencc to be
more eiiicienl: than cod liver 011 in any form
in which cod liver oil has ever been sold.
Vino] in addition is positively dehcmus to
the taste. As a. reconstructor Vinol has no
equal. Yours very truly,
Snectal Vinol representative
