E. Doolittlo of New York has been chosen to succeed Solicitor Mc Cabo (Dr. Wiley's enemy) on the pure food and drug board. The Panama minister to the United States, Dr. Poras, has been recalled on tho ground that his services failed to please his government. A Washington correspondent for the Associated Press says: A freight rate of $115 per hundred pounds on lemons from California points to eastern destinations was approved by the commerce court in a decision ren dered in the case of the Arlington Heights fruit association against certain trans-continental railroads. Tho interstate commerce commis sion had issued an order, alter an exhaustive inquiry, requiring the railways to reduce their freight rates on lemons from California points to eastern destinations from $1.15 to $1 a hundred pounds. The rate on oranges was established by the roads at $1 a hundred pounds, but the traffic In oranges was six times as much as in lemons. In its decision the court held in effect that the com mission had no power to protect the lemon industry of California against foreign competition. An Associated Press dispatch says: Orders of Injunction were granted by the commerce commission to re strain it from enforcing its orders against the Goodrich Transit com pany and the White Star line, cor porations operating steamers on the Great lakes, one out of Chicago and the other out of Toledo. The orders of the commission required the com panies to adopt certain methods of keeping their accounts and to make certain reports to the commission. The court held that the companies were amenable to the law with re spect to all interstate business done by them in connection with railroads, and the commission was within its authority in requiring reports of such transactions, but that it had no authority to call for reports of trans actions relating exclusively to "port-to-port" interstate business of to in terstate traffic or affairs. mates of postofllce department. Ac cording to this estimate the appro priations necessary to meet the ex penses of the postal service at large during the coming fiscal year will be $260,938,468, a decrease of $2,685, 740 over the appropriations for the current fiscal year, or more than 1 per cent, the smallest on record. The most Important of the new Items are those providing for" a parcels post. They Include $50,000 to cover the preliminary expenses on rural mail routes and an equal approprotion to start the service in the .cities. The department believes that after the initial expenses are defrayed and th parcels post is in full operation on the rural routes, it will not only bring In sufficient revenue to meet Its cost, but also a surplus that can be utilized in paying the parcels post expenses on the city delivery service. An additional item of $50,000 is in cluded to cover an investigation hav ing for its object the final establish ment of a general parcels post on all routes. Mr. Hitchcock Is confident that legislation authorizing a par cels post of some form will be secured at the coming session of congress. Another Item included for the first time is the $50,000 to cover experi ments in the transportation of mail by aeroplane. JMr. Hitchcock be lieves that under certain conditions it will bo possible to use the aero plane to good advantage. The sum of $50,000 is provided for time and labor saving mechanical devices for use in the postofllce. An item of $10,000 is added to be ex pended in giving rewards to postal employes who invent improved me chanical appliances that accelerate the handling of the mails. The law requires that estimates for the vari ous departments of the government be submitted prior to October 15. branches. The first of these ia called the national society, and haB for its object the location of desir able lands open for colonization and placing them before the Catholic population of this country and Immi grants that annually arrive. A division known as the Racial societies has been formed to work among the different nationalities in Europe and in this country. Co operation with the Catholic clergy of Europe and the appointment of officials known as "chaplains of emi gration" to work among persons in tending to come to the United States are features of the Racial societies. The work begins among the im migrants before they take passage for the United States, and when they land here they are protected from the dangers that might result from their ignorance of the language and customs of the country. The third division is the diocesan societies, through which reliable in formation of the character of tho lands in each colony can be obtained. Chicago Tribune. Pimples? No They've AH Gone!

An Associated Press dispatch says: It will cost $129,000,000 to main tain the United States navy and pro vide for suitable increase in the next fiscal year, according to the estimates completed by Secretary Meyer. This includes a provision for two super dreadnoughts, probably about the size of the projected Nevada and Oklahoma, which displace about 28r 000 tons and a suitable number of auxiliaries. This figure marks low water in the retrenchment policy of the ad ministration, so far as the navy is concerned. The estimates are the same as the appropriations for the current fiscal year. This year's ap propriations were $5,000,000 less than the estimates for the preceding year, and these in turn were $10, 000,000 less than estimates for the fiscal year 1908-1909 which was the last year of the Roosevelt administration. CATHOLIC COLONY MAKERS ORGANIZE Final details of an international colonization project directed by the Catholic church were arranged at a meeting of the board of directors of the Catholic Colonization Society of the United States recently at the Woman's temple.

The work Is not to be carried on exclusively for the benefit of im migrants, as all Catholics who desire to leave the congested centers for life on a farm are encouraged to join one of several settlements or colonies that are being established.
