who have been working: with Receiver

age of Brown, the missing assistant cash

Is Rood as far ns It goes.
Brown's system required a wonderful

Extension of Rural Delivery
System Urged.
PROVED A SUCCESS WHEREVER TRIED
first Assistant roslmaaler flenernl
Johnson (he Chnntte fn B
Effected Without Kscesslve
Cost to the Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. An enthu
siastic plen for n w ide expansion of rural
free delivery is made In the annual re
port of W. M. Johnson, first nssistant
postmaster general. He says thnt the
extraordinary development of this sys
tem during the past 12 months under the
Stimulus of appropriations of $450,000
for the fiscal year lM'.MMlHM) and $1,750,
000 for the Uscnl yenr 1!H)0-1!KH, is con
clusive ns showing that hereafter it must
be a permanent and expanding feature of
the postal administration. The service
cnu now be extended ns swiftly as con
gress may direct or ns the menus permit,
until it covers all those portions of the
United States now rencbod In whole or In
pnrt by the more primitive methods of
tlie postal service, which hnve come down
to us almost without change fropi colo
nial times. Tliis change, Mr. Johnson
believes, can be effucted without exces
sive cost to tlie government.
Under ordinary conditions a full route
is considered to be 25 miles, so devised
that the carrier does not pass over the
same ground twice in the same day. The
congressional representative controls the
appointments. The pay of tlie rural car
riers is now from $100 to $."i(M) per nu
llum. There ure uo civil service restric
tions, nor restrictions ns to sex, but it is
inexorably required that appointees shall
bo of good character.
It is proposed to extend rurnl delivery
in accordance with the demands made
from all parts of the country, so thut
each individual route may be dovetailed
upon another route hereafter to be start
ed, uud with this idea constantly kept in
view rural free delivery is eventually to
extend over ull well settled rurul com
munities In the United Stntes.
Bearing on the question of cost, a
statemeut compiled from the books of
the office shows that from December,
1890, to Nov 1, 1000, 4:t! star routes nnd
mail messenger services hnve been dis
continued or curtailed. Between July 1
and Nov. 1, 1000, the first four months
of the present fiscal yenr, there huve been
1,338 additional rural free delivery routes'
installed, supplying 022,307 people.
No Klse In Ment Prices.
niTTHAtJO. Nov. 1(1. Absolute ilenial
is made by Chicago puckers of a report j
vunced prices on all sorts of meat from (
1 to 5 cents a pound and that there is a
comMue of the firms to hold the price
higher regardless of the price of live cut
tle. "The reports that we have arbitrari
ly swelled the prices of meats are un-.
true," said B. F. Swift of Swift & Co.
yesterday. "Supply and demand control
the market now as they have always
done. The election cut no figure whatev
er in the price of ment during the week
following it, nor will it affect it."
A Long; Distance Photograph.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16. Professor
F. P. Leavenworth photographed the as- ,
teroid Eros through the telescope at the
State university observatory last even-,
ing. Considering thut the diminutive
planet is said to be 34,000,000 miles
away, it wns a long shot. The professor
said that the planet could not lie seen
with the naked eye or through the tele
scope. By a close mathematical calcula- .
tlon he ascertained its exact locution, and '
the sensitive plute caught its likeness,
even though it was beyond human ken. ,
STOWAWAYS THAT WERE PETS
An
Interesting; Pair That Came
Abroad to City ot Rome on
a Recent Trip.
A pair without money, passage tick
ets or luggage boarded the steamship
City of Uome on her last trip from
Glasgow to this port just at the clos
, ing hour for sailing, says a New York
exchange. They did not attempt to'
conceal themselves as stowuwuys, but
I deliberately moved among the passen
j gers. As night came on they failed to
; go into a stateroom. They did not ask
for a place at the table. As soon as
their presence became known to most
of the passengers they vied with one
another in making this pair comfort
able. As it grew darker they disap
peared, but with the break of dny they
were found upon the deck again, as
happy as could be, and they did not
leave the ship the entire voyage.
They were a pair of sparrows, and
they became so tame that they would
eat from the hand of a passenger while
perched upon the passenger's other
hand. The children of the ship became
fond of them, and just as the vessel
was nearing port one of the birds was
killed by the fall of a little girl who
had it in her hand.
In the excitement of the near ap
proach to land t he other was forgotten
and the time of its disappearance watt
unknown.

"Now, you nil know why foreign
military nttnehes nre in England.
They nre here to see the rights of
all improvements in the nrmy In
men, in tools, in the handling of either.
They notice n new explosive or n new
drill movement, nnd if the horse
gunrds gave me n commission I reckon
they would notice that, and would tell
their respective wnr offices that they
had better look out now. Our mili
tary nttnehes nre nbrond for the snme
purpose. They're just spies in pence
time. Why, 1 remember when cordite
came out how one of the continental
war ofllces pent a gunner officer over
here they Rnid to learn English. I
know the mnn at Woolwich who gnve
him the cordite, and how much he got
for it. I know the Knglishninn who
found the man nt Woolwich who
would do the job. I know how much
more he got for It. But would I
breathe the nnme of thnt cotitincntnl
power, to make international compli
cations? Not me. 1 know better
what's due to my country. All which
leads up to this: When I whs nt Uythe
qualifying for two guns nnd a crown
over my three stripes there wns a
great mystery about the Maxim; in
fact, we who were, undergoing instruc
tion ns instructors were never shown
the mechanism of the block. The in
structor of the Uythe staff used nl
wnys to take thnt out of the gun and
hold it behind him while he ex
plained the other parts. And thnt wn
what made me curious to see the block.
I was working very hard in the even-
I ings; yt tor my healths sake l una
to walk now and then into Folkstone
0 young foreign person, who told me
Rhe wan a lady's maid. How did I
make her acquaintance? If you don't
know a simple little thing like, that,
you ought to. We lenrn in the army
the art of mixing gracefully in female
society. And the yonng foreign per
son, who spoke English beautifully,
said to me one evening as we were
sitting in a quiet spot away from oth
er people and from gas lamps:
" 'I do love to hear about all that
concerns you. Tell me all about what
you do at the school of musketry.'
" 'Oh, H'b all very simple, ma'mselle,'
said I. Then, just to show her what
a clever fellow I was, I begun to give
her a full account of all the difficult
things we had to do. And, of course,
among other things I spoke of the
machine guns.
"Those are the horrid things that
go crk-crk-crk-crk, are they not?'
asked she, ns she Imitated perfectly
the venomous spit of the beasts.
"'That's it.'
" 'Tell me about them. I think they
are wonderfully Interesting. How well
educated a soldier has to be nowaduys
to understand such things!'
44 'It's quite true that a first-class
certificate of education, which a ser
geant is now bound to hnve, Is not got
for the asking. Then I went on to
tell her of the mechanism of the
Maxim.
" 'Ilut the funniest thing about it all
is that they won't let us see the works
of the block, although we are to qual
ify for musketry instructors.'
" 'And of the most important part
of the gun you know nothing?'
'I hnve a general idea."
" A man who is as clever as jou In
mechanics arid mathematics ought to
know all about It. I should be curious
to know if I were you.'
" 'I could easily find out a-t about it
If I cared to take the trouble.'
"Trouble! What Is trouble to a
scientific man? If I were you I should
think nothing of any little trouble.
Now, I will spur you for your own
good and to advance you in the serv
ice. I am curious, for your sake, to
know about this gun. I'll bet you
what you like you don't expluin the
mechanism of the block to me within
a month. Your explanations make
even dry old figures interesting.'
"'And can I name the stakes?'
"'Certainly.'
'"A xiss, then.'
"'I can't bet you that?'
"Tut I was to name the stukes.'
! " 'Oh, I couldn't think of it.'
I "'There's no need for you to think
of it, ma'mselle. You've only to do it.
I have your word, you know. If you
are honorable
"'Birl
"Then the bet Is off?'
"'No, I give you my word. It la an
noying. Ilut I will keep my word.'
"'And I can give you my word that
I shall win. So, perhaps, In case you
chonge your mind, I had better have
the kiss now.'
"The rest of the evening bus noth
Vng to do with the story.
"Now, I hud been working hard ut
the mechanics of guns before 1 went
to tlie school of musketry, so thut I
might do well. And I hud a natural
tuste for such things in the blood,
probably because my aunt married a
riuith, to whom I was to havo been
bound apprentice, only I would none of
him nnd his smithy. Bo you only
had to show nie the cocoainit In gun
' ii cry mttbunlus, and I tumbled to
vrhnt Wrid of milk was Inside. The
next Mnxlm dny we wore gathered
round the instructor, who was red
ing out his Mnxlm yarn. He hud taken
out the block, and was holding it in
his fingers behind bis back. I had
my notebook In my hand, tt ml I slipped
behind him. In a very few moments I
had a sketch of nil that appeared on
the surface, nnd u very good idea of
wliut was beneath it.
"Thnt very evening I was sitting
imong n lot of other men who were
swotting for exam. I had n sheet of
foolscap and wns busy milking a
sketch of the action in Indian ink.
"'Hallo, young mnn,' said the in
structor, who hud been looking over
my shoulder, unbeknown to me, 'wbnt
hnve you got there?'
" 'You ought to know ns well, if not
better than I, senrgrtit-instriictor.'
" 'I do know. But. where did you get
it?'
" 'Thnt's my business.'
" 'Well, you must give it tip.'
" 'Oh, no, 1 shan't.'
" 'But you must.'
'"It's mine, and you can't take It
from me.'
" 'We'll see what Lieut. Brown says
about that
'"If Lirtit. rirown says I must give
it up, I will, lint not unless.
" 'Come along, then, to bis quarters.'
"'This Is Pergt. Ilnrding, duke of
Cornwall's light infant ry, sir,' said the
sergrnnt-inst ructor, when we reached
Lieut, llrown's room, 'lie has n sketch
of the Maxim secret action nnd refuses
to give it up.'
" 'How's this, Sergt. Harding?' nsked
Lieut, ltrown.
" 'The sketch Is my own, sir. I re
fused to give it up to 11u sergeant -instructor,
but snid 1 would give it tip at
once, if you ordered me. Hut I have
made one sketch, nnd If you take that
nwny from me, I hnve the net ion in
my mind, nnd enn nlwnys make another
sketch.'
" 'That's quite true. Yet such things
had better not be knocking about. You
will destroy the sketch, Sergt. Hard
ing?' " 'Yes,' thought I, 'when I hnve shown
it nnd won my bet.'
"'And how did you get hold of it?'
" 'Must. I tell vou, sir-."
" 'Yes.'
"'I took it down In my notebook
while the sergeant-instructor held the
block behind his back.'
"Thesergennt-Inst ructor looked fool
ish, and Lieut. Ttrown drawled:
"I think, sergennt-instruclor, you
hnd better hnve settled this little mat
ter without appealing to me. (iood
night, both.'
"The sergeant-instructor was too up
set to want to see the sketch destroyed.
I lost very little time in strolling down
to thnt cftiiet spot where I might light
on mnm'selle. Not that, in view of
what is to come, I wish in any way, to
say or to hint, or to Imply that sha was
French. Far from it. I used the nomo
'Mam'selle' as meaning young foreign
person, as a sailor uses 'Dutchman' to
mean a foreign sailor, usually a Nor
wegian or a Swede. She wns there.
" 'Good evening, mam'selle,' said L
'Had you any idea of going on the pier
this evening, or do you prefer to stop
quietly here?" .
" To stop here, I think; thnt Is,' she
said hurriedly I wonder wh'y 'it
you're going to behave yourself prop
erly.' " 'Well,' snid I, 'as I've won my bet,
I think 1 may as well collect the stakes.'
"'You've won? Y'ou know all about
the Maxim?' asked she so excitedly
that her words tumbled one over the
other.
" 'I have told you so.'
"'Yes; you are quite sure?'
" 'Quite. I have an Indiun ink sketch
of It on me.'
" 'Let me see it let me see it,' she
repeated, and her eyes gleamed.
" 'Quite so,' said I. 'Seeing's believ
ing; but I should like to collect my
stukes.'
"No longer coy, she flung her arms
around my neck and kissed nie till I
hod no breath with which to repay her
kisses. Hut she herself hud brenth
enough to gasp:
" 'Give me the paper.'
"I put my hand in the breast pocket
of my serge, which I always used to
wear under my greatcoat. I began to
pull out the drawing. Just then I
heard the drawling voice of Lieut.
Ilrown come from the darkness for
we were In a very quiet and cosy cor
ner:
" 'I thought as much, Rerpt. Hard
Ing. You are under arrest. Follow me

"I turned toward the voice, nnd then

' by I.nw.
"dune 27. ut ten o'clock," says the
late Admiral .lolni V. l'hilip in the
Interesting passages from his diary
published in Frank Leslie's l'opulur
Monthly, "I went down with 30 men to
attend a meeting of the Chinese court.
The business to-day consisted in com
paring the Knglish und Chinese records
of the case and making them agree.
They reexamined the two lenders, who
are the Chung brothers, and occupied
nearly the whole day In trying by dif
ferent tortures to make these fellows
confess to their guilt. One proceeding
rather amused me, although It was
bnrbnrous. The lending mandarin had
asked one of these brothers several
questions, to which he would not an
swer to the satisfaction of the court, so
the mandarin wrote out the evidence
as he thought the criminal ought to
speak It, und then told him to acknowl
edge that It wus correct; und when the
poor fellow refused to comply with the
court's request, he was tortured until
he fainted in the courtroom nnd hud to
be removed. ISy the Chinese laws they
cannot punish a person until he con
fesses to everything. If the court
thinks the prisoner is telling lies they
torture him for the truth; or, if he
does not speak as they wish him to and
will not confess his guilt, they torture
him In the most cruel manner until he
does as they wish. As soon ns he con
fessrs, he is behended, frequently in
one hour. I wus told In court thnt very
often n criminnl would die under his
tortures rather than confess himself
guilty. These, I suppose, are rare
cases, where the man is really Inno
cent of the crime charged. I huve seen
enough of Chinese jurisprudence to
disgust me with it for the future."
Birth Rate In Europe.
The most recent statistics show a
decrease of the hrt rate in every
European country, the avernire de
crease being three per cent, since
1891. This is a curious fnct nnd seems
to sh ow that the Multhusiun theory
failed to tnke Into account certain con
ditions in nature that tend to prevent
the overpopulation of the earth. For
some time it bus been known thnt th
birth rate In France has been unsatis

every country In Europe was in the
Mme declining condition, though to a
less degree.

LITERARY K0TE8-
Kudvnrd Kipling's new novel, "Kim," will
begin in the December issue of McClntc's
Magazine. This is a tale of life in In lii,
and in it the literary genius' gives a profound
study of Oriental 1 1 1 e . 1 Ins is tlie author
maslerpiece, and it fulfils in its larger scope
all tlie promise of his earlier nnd shorter
woiks.
One of the most extraordinary, yet t er-
manent, successes of contemporary literaturs
wns ihnt made by Anthony Hope in the
"Dolly Dialogues." America and l'.ngla.id
alike rejoiced in the refined and subtle hu
mor, tlie clear insight, the pervasive human
interest of these conversations. McCluru'i
Magazine for December will contain the first
in a series of "More Dolly Dialogues," in
which all the charm of the earlier work is
continued.
McClure's Magazine for Decemlier will
contain an intimate account of the fall of
Richmond and the flight of the Confederate
Cabinet, at the close of the Civil war. This
article is fiom the pen of Stephen R. Mai
lory, who, ns Secretary of the Navy ;n the
Confederate Administration, shared in the
stress of those last diys. The narrative
gives a picture strong and true of the clos
ing scene in the South's tragedy.
