the whole matter was referr- d to a

Some of the neighboring papers

of New Castle, the postmaster had a

Q. W. Fi.kkokk
—An exchange warns people
against tbe practice of enclosing old
greenbacks in a letter, a3 men who
are experts can tell whether a letter
contains money simply by the sense
of smell. If you wili notico un old
greenback, it has a peculiar smell
about it that can readily be perceiv
ed, even if it be enclosed in » letter.
It is better to send a registered letter
or a postal note, or, if you enclose a
bill, be sure it is a new one. That
will not smell.
—Beware of the spectacle racket, a
swindling scheme tbat is being work
ed iu different parts of the State at
present. Two men take In the coun
try towns, one styling himself a part
ner of some well-known city oculist-
They tell the people that they need

General Notes,
Tin re i:r« two proposed amend
ments to 'he Constitution of the
State. Out! of the amendments,
auo'.'.a as the prohibitory amend
raen% proposes legislation to prohibit
in oxc-ttiug liquors; iLe tther, pro
poses to change the qualifications
necessary for votitg. TLe Constitu
tion ii"vv requires the poj meat of a
or county tax as one of the voter's
qualifications. This the atneudmet t
proposes to abolish that and also to
change the required length of resi
dence in a given district fri m f'.O to
30 days.
Should the next Legislature pass
these two amendments they wiii be
submitted to a vote of the people, and
should a majority of voting be
in favor of the amendment they will
become a part of the fundamental law
of the State.
The election in Ohio thi3 fall is
going to be an important one. The
Democrats have made a piatform
containing a strong free trade plank
while the republicans never proclaim
ed the protection doctrine more btren
uousiy. The issue herefore between
the free traders aud the protectionists
has seldom been more distinct or
sharply drawn than in the Ohio con
test. To add to the interest of the
struggle, Mr. Frank Hurd.who is the
ablest and most brilliant of all expo
nents of free trr.de, has announced his
intention of takiug the stump for the
Democratic ticket; this resolution on
his part emphasizes tho anti-protec
tive declaration of the party, Mr.
liurd being as radical a freetrader as
is to be icuiid in tLe length and
breadth cl the land, Xot only tbat,
but he Las fcuilutd defeat, not once,
but twice, it. deftufe of his economic
principles. Universally recognized
as one of the ablest and most useful
men in Congress on either side of the
argument, Mr. Ilurd has been twice
beaten on a free trade
platform in a district which is over
whelmingly Democratic, by a Repub
lican protectionist, who now holds
Mr. Kurd's old seat.
—Geronimo's successor as chief of
the murderous Apaches is called"The
Kid." Jfe is an example of the edu
cated Indian. He graduated with
high honors from one ol the Eastern
echools, where his young idea was
taught to shoot so accurately that he
never misses a white man at 300
yards.
The announcement is made that
China is about to discard its old pre
judices, change its methods aDd enter
upon q,n era of new industrial devel
opment and civilisation, largely un
der the influence of American capital.
The Chinese will build railroads, de
velop mines, establish new factories;
and, it is said, a large number of
Cbiuamen who have learned trades
and industries in this country and
have btcome experts in the laying of
railroads, in mining and in the build
ing of bridges, are returning to Chi
na to take a haud in this now move
ment. In line China, which for cen
turies led the world in science, art
and industry, proposes to emerge
from the stagnation of penturies and
enter into new fields.
A Washington dispatch says that
the Post.ftjce Department, about the
loth of September will make certain
changes in the color and design of
some of its adhesive stamps and im
pressed stamps upon envelops. The
two-cent udbersive stamp now issued
in red will be changed to green. The
three-ceut adhesive stamp now issu
ed in g*een will be changed to Ver
million, The design of adhesive
stamps will remain unchanged. In
stamped envelopes the two cent en
velope will be changed from red to
greenj the fourrcent envelope will be
changed from greeu to carmine; the
five-cent from brown to dark blue;
the thirty-cent from black to brown,
