FLETCHER S BLUFF. Hr In.urn a IIIeIi Soumlmi; Order To Hotel Men KegurditiK Mail. Bloomiuirton World. Post office inspector Fletcher was here Tuesday night and issued n high sounding order to the hotel men not to receive any more mail matter at night to lie mailed at the trains, tinder severe penalty. Where j this man Fletcher got his authority lor Issuing such an outrageous order will never be known, as it certainly is not to be found in the postal laws. He must think that the business men who are in grout measure compelled to mail letters in this way are all fools, else lie would not have made such a high sounding command in the capacity ol a government official. The fact about the matter is, the government does not have any control over mail matter until it is placed in its custody. Any man has a right to accept any mail matter he desires from any person and mail it on trains or in post offices at his discretion. A wild P. O. Inspector some time ago made such an .order that no mail matter would lie accepted at the trains, lint it was knocked into a cocked lint, when P. M. General Hissel! delivered an opinion that mail matter must be received at any and all hours on trains if it bore tlie required stamp of the postoffice department. He was also written to by a eiti zen of this city, regarding the mail deposited at the hotels and said in reply that the government lias no authority in the matter ns the mail had not been placed in the custody of any of its agents. So it will be plainly seen that Fletcher would like to work a hardship on the business men of Bloomington, as it certainly would be if carried out. Many merchants have goods to order almost every night and seldom get the required time to do so until after supper. It remains to be seen whether or not attention will be paid to Fletcher’s bluff.

and in Denpair.” Terre Haute Tribune. A letter has been received here from Rev. W. F. Walker, who is the nresiding elder of the North China Metbodistconference, written in the latter part of August, in which it is said that Minister Denby had informed him that he had asked the Washington authorities for support in protecting the American missionaries, but that the government had failed to furnish it. The minister said he was helpless and in despair. Mr. Walker adds that the Americans are depending upon the British embassy for protection. Corroborative of this statement an American medical missionary writes to the New York Tribune saying: “Until recently I was under the impression that our home government, was ignorant of the situation and that all the blame lay with our minister, Colonel Chas. Denby, and the consular staff in the ports. In an interview with Colonel Denby, however, a few weeks since, he assured me he had reported matters in detail to the state dej [lartment often, and urged reprisals as the only effective treatment, but bad been warned by telegraph: *1 do not wish to go to war with China.’ ”

mitted to her cure, and how many times did the watchers at her bedside hear her praying that “tlie dear little feet” might never wander from tlie straight and narrow way. From tlie first she seemed to realize that she could not recover, and calmly she made all necessary arrangements, talked as only a loving mother can talk to each member of her family, and planned for their future welfare. In her dying hours she leaned upon the loving Savior and would say over and over again. “Oh Jesus, take me home.” Often she would repeat lines of poetry or beautiful hymns that were dear t»> tier, and just a day or two before her death, she re-
