The age of the composite man, com puted by average, is S8 7-20 years. In other words, he has been busy for just about a quarter of a century since acquiring his preliminary training. So it may be said that he has done what he has in 25 years. Of his personal appearance the com posite photograph is the best evidence, I butsome individualities are worthy of mention. Only two of the 20 are clean shaven. The fashion of a quarter of a centuryi ; ago is still good enough for them, and I 12 of them wear the mustache only, , as was then the prevailing mode. Five wear full beards and one only, the ec clesiastical, side whiskers. A surpris ! Ing fact, considering the age of the , composite ninn, is that he Is not both ered with bnldness.

I 1 IIITS IIMHUIIIg, PUJB luc i.in . j press, ten storiei In the air, William ; Ordway Partridge has In his studio the j complete statue of Nathan Hale, a rig- j ure that la In some respects one of the . .. .. a . . I most, distinguished worns creaiea Dy nn American sculptor. In so far as the sculptor's actual labor Is concerned it represents six years' toil, but he had i begun to think of the statue some time before the year 1897 (when it was ac tually begun) at the suggestion of sev eral of the alumni of Yale, who were HALE STATUE FOR TALE. (Designed and Executed by William Ord way Partridge.) desirous of presenting to their alma mater a statue of the patriot, himself n graduate of that university, of the class of 1778. The statue, which is of heroic size, represents the young patriot on his way to the scaffold. Ilis head Is held high and in his eyes is the expression of a man who is oblivious to the jeers of the mob gathered to witness the exe cution of a spy. In his original sketch of the statue Mr. I'artridge had his figure standing at the foot of the scaffold. That it was changed to its present state that of a forward motion, suggesting action wHhont fatiguing the eye is due to a beautiful thought of Phillips Brooks. He was looking at the first sketch in the sculptor's studio one day when he said that "a man does not remain all his life at a university, but passes on to something higher and more worthy of his powers," and so the suggestion of motion In the figure t3-pifies that thought as well as the story of the pa triot's heroism. Since no portrait of Hale exists, Mr. Partridge built up his ideal of the fuce in a manner that is an evidence of the thoroughness with which he works. Acting on the princi ple that men of one epoch bear a gen eral resemblance to one another, he studied the colonial type faithfully, and used In connection with this type the mask of a Yale student who was much after Hale's manner of thought and purpose In life. The statue is of bronze and will be mount ed on a pedes tal three feet six inches high. The cost will be about $20,000. FIGHTING FOR HONESTY. Robert J.

The temporary suspension of the establishment of rural free delivery routes owing to the discovery of a deficit in the appropriation for the present fiscal year will come to an end this week. This ts by the President's orders a ter consultation with Post master Gentral Payne. The appro priation for this year was $7,529,000, to which Congress added $500,000 for a deficiency created during the early part of the year. On the first ot May, according to statements furnish ed by Poslmaster General Payne a few days laler,the appropriation was exhausted and a deficit of upward of $20,000 had been made. The establishment of further rural routes was stopped in order that there might be no large deficiency to take to Congress. The Postmaster General said he was determined to make the service businesslike and keep within bounds. He even tried to wipe out deficiency of $ao,ooo. A few days later it was found that the deficiency was really $111,000. In view of tnese conditions, it has been expected there would be no more new work done in the line of establishing routes until the beginning of the next fiscal year. An appeal to the President was made from the business men of Chicago and other Western cities that the order be revoked, notwithstanding that the appropriation was exhausted, and that the new routes be charged up to next year's business The matter has been under consideration for sever?! days, and it has now been de cided not to postpone until July Ihe establishment of the many routes that have been passed on by inspectors and now ready to be put in operation. The whole number is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500, covering the work of the rural free delivery division for the past two months and a half. It is not likely that the whole number will be set in operation before July 1, but beginning Monday they will be ordered at a livelier pace than usual during times of ordinary dis patch of business. The first bstch of routes recommended for installation was sent to Fourth Assistant Bristow from the Rural Free Delivery Division Saturday, and were acted on the first of the week. .

Farm wages in Pennsylyania as shown by the crop report issued by the Agricultural Department are away and above those paid in any other State in the Union. The wages of farm laborers in the Summer, time runs from eighty five cents up to $1.25 per day, with board included. By the day without board the men who earn their living by the sweat of their brow receive from $t.to to $2 per day, a salary that is paid by fe farmers in" other States. Labor by the monlh when board is of course ir.cluded is worth from $14 to $28,. the amount ranging between the two figures in diflerent counties. Dela ware, Elk and Erie counties pay the largest wages for farm labor, as statis tics fo t h e Agricultural Department show. Female help with board per week runs from $1.25 to $3. Thi9 kind c' labor is little sought after though b, the extensive farmers. Statistics show that farm land is worth from $10 to $70 per acre in different counties of the State. In Potter county the average price for the land is $10 per acre, the lowest average of any of the counties. Chester county's land is worth on an average of $70 per acre, the highest price of any of the land in the State. In Dauphin county lanif is sold on an average of $40 per acre, and farm labor is worth $145 a year including board or $1 a day without board. The aggregate wages of the farm laborer, taking the whole country, is about $9 per month with his board. In the South for instance, where many negroes are employed on the farms, the highest paid man only re ceives about six or seven dollars a month. Negro women work for twenty five cents a day and in some instances receive only twenty cents. In commenting on the number of the colored race that are gradually drift ing North of their own accord or being sent here by employment agen cies, a Southern paper says that wages are higher in Pennsylvania, but the laborer has to do double the work. "For ir.tance," says the paper, "where a Northern family of wealth employ two servants to attend to the duties around the house, a Southern family of equal means would have four. The four, however, might not be paid an amount in excess of what the two are paid in the North. Pennsylvania pays better wages for her help, but she expects more work for the salary,'" concludes the paper. An employment agency in Rich mond, Va, has within the past year sent to the North, and Pennsylvania got the most of them, in the neighbor hood of one thousand colored women. Over five hundred colored men have also found employment in this section of the country. Many remain here and become good citizens, but the majority drift back to the Southern States, purchase a little farm and set tle down to life of ease. . GETTYSBURG. Fortieth Anniversary ot the Great Battle. Forty years ago the citizens of Pennsylvania were anxiously waiting to see what fortune the chances ot war would allot them. At that time everything looked bad for the Union forces, but the events of the next few days, culminating in the Historic Bat tle of Gettysburg, virtually declared "The Union one and indivisible." It is claimed by many historians that this battle fought July 1st, 2d and 3d, 1863, was the critical, deci sive engagement of the contest, and the "high water mark," showing the extreme point reached by Pickett s Virginians in their famous charge, is in reality the high water mark in the tide of the rebellion. Thereafter it was all ebb tide with the Southern cause. To accommodate visitors during the Anniversary days, the Philadelphia & Reading Railway he.s arranged to sell Excursion Tickets from all ticket offices in Pennsylvania at rate of single fare for the round trip. Tickets for sale and good going June 30th to July 3d inclusive and good to return until July 6th inclusive. For time of trains, rate of fare, etc., consult any P. & R. Ticket Agent. A Ghastly Bwindlo- A number of exchanges give warn ing of a ghastly swindle now being worked in this State. Soon after the death of a peison, a small package, addressed to the deceased, is received by the relatives of the family. The package is shipped C. O. D., and the charges are from $2.50 up. Some times the package bears a printed slip upon which it is stated that the contents are a gold ring. In most cases members of the decedent's family think he had ordered the ring just Wore his death, and pay the charges. When examined by a jewe ler the ring is pronounced to be of the class sold at retail for fifty cents a dozen.
