WEIGHING THE MAILS
•WORK AT LOCAL POST OFFICE BEGINS NEXT MONTH
Done Every Four Years and Determines Bonus Which Government Shall Psy the Railroads.
The government will begin the re-weigh ing of all the mail carried by the railroads of the country next month. The *4n»^vork will be done by special employes, aNjcj are selected upon recommendation of yfyigressmen of the districts in which they woirk. The re-weighing occurs every four years and it is expected this year will show that there has been an enormous increase in the amount of mail handled. It will take vhirty days of consecutive work to get an approximation of the amount of mail carried.
The magnitude of the work is shown by the fact that the government is J»aying something like $4,000,000 annually "for the main routes to say nothing of the mail matter carried upon smaller roads.
The mails will be weighed by the government before being placed aboard the train, and then be re-weighed by the railway company. Upon the tabulation furnished by their representatives, the railroad companies will bas^ their calculations in submitting bids for contracts.
The mail from every station will be weighed daily for thirty days, when the total will be computed and contracts awarded at so much per pound. Hund••i Teds of special employes will be engaged in this work, two men being assigned "-'••to each road.
LONDON SHOCKED
.Lady Gordon Makes Some Amazing Admissions and Which Involve Lord Granville.
LONDON, Feb. 27.— London is amazed and shocked by the matrimonial re---.Relations of Lady Granville Gordon, in
case which she brought before the courts iu order to obtain the custody ot her r/ild. The revelations are such that even before the asp is settled a notification has appeared in the Oflicial Gazette that her presentation at the royal court is canceled. This means that she may not appear at any drawing room or other social function given by the queen. It .is regarded in the fashionable world as social ostracism.
Lady Granville Gordon Mas formally married to her. present husband's cousin, Erie Gordon, who divorced her and obtained an order for the custody of the only child a little daughter. She immediately married Lord Granville Gordon, but refused to surrender the child to her former husband and when an attempt was made to enforce the order of the court she re-openpd the ease by putting an extraordinary story before the judge.
She swore that there was an arrangement that she should have the child despite the previous decision of the court because the child was really Lord Granville's. She declared that she had been Lord Granville's mistress before and after her marriage to Eric Gordon and that even immediately after the honeymoon her relations with Lord Granville were resumed, her husband occupying a different room and assenting to tKe entire arrangement.
The judge heard the end of the testimony today including indignant denials by Eric Gordon. Lady Granville swore that even if she had to die tomorrow she would declare that the "fluid was
Lord Granville's. Lord Granville is a brother of the marquis of Huntly and a brother-in-law of Earl Lonsdale.
& 90YS STOLE $300'

LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 27.—John Martin, 15, and William Pitzglbbons, a newsboy, are under arrest charged with robbing the safe in Herman Overstoltz's. railroad picket office Saturday night of $300. The safe h^d been accidentally left unlocked.
Martin's father, janitor at the office, has been, sick and John, too small for the work, carried the keys and had Fitzgibbons do the cleaning. According to the confession made by Martin, Fitzgibbons discovered that the safe was open and took the money, warning the Martin boy to say nothing.
MINISTERS DIVIDED
Some Who Favor Regulating Liquor Trafvte Are Denounced by the 'Stricter Element.
WHEELING, W. Va., Feb. 27.—Several ministers created a sensation in this city Wednesday by signing the petition of the saloonkeepers to legalize the sale of their goods on Sunday, except during church hours. The preachers give as their reason for appending their names to the dooument that liquor is being sold and has been sold for years, both after midnight and on Sunday and they believe in regulating the traffic so as to prevent churchiroers from being annoyed. They are denounced by others of the clergy.
Dupes of "Get-Rich-Quick." The most astounding discovery in connection with the raiding of the "get-rich-quick" men in New York is the character of the men to whom the swindling circulars were sent. Upon the mailing lists are the names of 30,000 clergymen, 100,000 physicians and other professional and mercantile men in proportion. Of course not all these men "bit." Ix one in a hundred did so it was enough for the swindlers. But how could any educated man have been so foolish as to expect from the unknown "something /or nothing?" How could any moral teacher or any healer of men accept
Elie
rofits which could only be gained at coat of cheating others?
THE COUNTY COUNCIL
CALLED IN SPECIAL SESSION FOR TOMORROW MORNING
MEN FOR EACH ROAD "BRIDGE MATTER FOREMOST
Little Besides This Wil! Come Up For Action—Amount of the Appropriation*..
It is now certain that little save the bridge matter is to come up before the county council at it's session which convenes tomorrow. There is now but $10,000 difference between the council and the commissioners, and the general belief is that a compromise will be made on some amount between $160,000 and $175,000 and that plans will be advertised for soon after the adjournment of the session Monday. After the council has appropriated the money, the matter goes back to the board of commissioners and they will at once begin the preliminary steps, leading to the adoption of plans and specifications and awarding the contract. The general expression is in favor of a bridge and all want the structure built at the earliest possible date. It is said that if the contract is let. and: work begun, reasonably earJy this spring the structure can be tnpletod and ready for use by some ti din ing the late fall.
The only other matters that wiM be brought before the council will be an appropriation of $351 to pay the claim of the deputy fish commissioner, for the confiscation and destructions of seines, nets and gigs, an appropriation for telephones for the offices of the county clerk, county attorney and the poor farm, which were ordered by the board of commissioners late yesterday evening. There will aiso be asked an appropriation for some of the funds which were over-drawn last year. The amount of this has not vet been determined.

One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of .meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can perform for himself in the following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces, as it would be if masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm .water heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg Li the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stua.rt's Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak and tlie thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingles with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disease of any kind because good' digestion means good health in every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cents for full sized package in every drug store in thre United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.
OSTRACIZED FOR TAKING OPIUM BY NEW METHOD
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Lcc Yuck, who is said to be the only Chinese tramp in this city, was committed to the workhouse for six months by Magistrate Bre.cn in the Tombs police court this morning on the complaint of Capt.
