Tuesday morning Postmaster Hallow, of St. Louis, Inaugurated a novel system cf delivering letters In tho city and suburbs. A small-sized postal car, modeled on tho pattern of a railway mall car. has been built and placed on the St. Louis and suburban electric railway line. The car will run between the main office and Cabanna, and will deliver and receive mail to and from carriers stationed at regular Intervals along the line. This la tho first attempt to distribute mall Jn this manner In this country, and the success of tho experiment Is looked forward to with interest by postmasters generally. The town of Scott’s Ridge, Kentucky, is in a perfect state of Insurrection, and a desperate battle is looked for at any moment, between the Shipps on one side and the Skaggs and Underwoods on tho other Each side numbers about, twenty-live heavily armed men, and the death of a dozen or more at any time will bo no surprise. Citizens have been warned, and travel through that section has entirely ceased. Tho trouble all grow out of three men assaulting “Shako” Shipp’s wife several weeks ago. “Buley” Skaggs and a man named Underwood were arrested, charged with the crime, but were finally released. The latter now threatens to wipe out tho Shipps, which will proven hazardous undertaking, as the Shipps know no fear. Two years ago Bob Shipp killed Bud Hu tress and badly wounded hie brother Tom in a shooting scrape on the same grounds now occupied by the war-ring-factions.
DULY DEDICATED. Are the "World’s Fair Building’s at Chicago. Scenes ef (die Great Event—The Largest Audience Ever AHNcmhled Under One lleof—-A Monster Celebration at Indianapolis. The great white city at Jackson Park Is now the property of the nation. In tho presence of the greatest audience that has ever assembled under one roof in tho history of tho universe—for the Coliseum ol Rome was open to tho sky—an audience stupendous, astounding, overwhelming, nay, more, absolutely appalling In Us Immensity, tho structure designed for the World's Columbian Exposition In commemoration of the quadrl-centennlal of the discovery of this continent by Christopher Columbus, were formally tendered to the World's Columbian commission and accepted by the Vice-President of the United Stales in behalf of the Republic. Mind connot conceive nor eye picture the scenes presented Friday afternoon, when tho tall form and benign features of th« representative of the administration appeared upon the edge of the rostrum and facod tho multitude. The painter has not yet been born whoso brush and palette could do justice to tho moment. Nearly two hundred thousand souls—men from the work shops lu home-spun garments; men who live in amarble palace 9 and measures their wealth In many millions; beautiful women, the pick and pride of the bollcdom of tho Soth cand the North; women whose days are full of toil, and who came with their Infants In their arms, that their eyes might look upon a scene the like of which may never again bo repeated; men oj many climes whoso names aro indissolubly linked with tho world of diplomacy; princes of tho church, the representatives of tho classes and of the masses -a fifth of a million of them, carried away by the enthusiasm, the sublimity of tho occasion and tho hour, and as with one mind and one voice paying tribute to the Nation in extending a welcome to Its Vies President. Such a. roar of applause, starting simultaneously in tho far off corners of the vast structure and sweeping down toward tho center like a tidal wave, such a stamping of countless thousands of feet such a waving of white handkerchiefs | until It seemed as though monster snowflakes wore quivering in the air over every head, the patriotic impulses of seventy millions of people finding vent through their chosen representatives, a prean of triumph over tho successful Inauguration of a stupendous National enterprise; and amid such a scene was the marvelous achievements of little more than a twelvemonth dedicated to tho progress in art, In science. In agriculture. In manufactures, in humanity of the old world and of the now. Tho parade, as a popular spectacle, was disappointing because of tho shortness of the route and the distance from popular centers. In itself the demonstration of military precision and discipline was all that could b> desired. The feature of the day lay not, however, In the military display as such, but tho groat center of interest and wonder was the vast building lu which the dedication ceremonies occurred. Tho far reach of walled and roofed space, with nearly 200,000 people moving, swaying, seated ana finally silent were Impressive to a degree not hospitable to marching processions. Tho spectacle of nearly six thousand people, half of whom were children, congregated in the stand of the singers was in itself a dispiav uncommon. And when on their feet, led by full orchestra and accompanied by two brass bauds, those six thousand throats lifted up songs of patriotic spirit and hymns to the Creator of all men and things, there camoInto all properly constituted hearts a thri'.l that is good for men to feel. There came, too. with tin's volume of melody, softened by space and distance, a wetness to the eyes and a quiver to the lip, w hich does credit to mou. not loss than to women. When, too, with the thousands upon thousands of waiting spectators turning their white faces upward toward tho executive official as ho came upon tho platform, these six thousand singers hi their elevated place, Dut- ; tored aloft each a white handkerchief or a silken banner, there camo a new sensation to those who witnessed it. The example and the influence of It spread out over the mighty throng like a flash of thought, and Instantly almost above every head under the vast bended roof fluttered and waved a snowy hankorohlof. Then was the spectacle of tho day. Then was the scone o the occasion. Then was the most feeling and unique demonstration of the entire three days of pomp and jubilation. In deed a mighty snow stotm might have just been finished and tho spectator witnessed tho sinking upon the beads of the groat crowd the last flakes as they foil. Tho Columbian ode which was recited was a feature of the exercises. Wo regret that space will not permit us giving any parr,of the speeches of Mr. Morton, Mr. Dopew nor Mr. Watterson, nor tho Columbian ode. AT INDIANAPOLIS, Thtfcelebration of Columbia Day at Indianapolis, Friday, was the greatest spectacle Indiana lias ever witnessed. Tho parade, consisting of military.civic, secret and religious societies required more than two hours to pass a given point, marching rapidly in platoons of from ton to fifteen abreast. This was followed ty floats representing various pursuits. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the street, and notan unpleasant occurrence marred the celebration. At night another very line display was made, consisting principally of floats and fireworks, the floats representing different periods or epochs In tho history of tho country from its discovery down to tho present time. The crowds on the streets were even greater than in tho afternoon. Washington street was ■literally packed from one side to the other. Tho decorations of the city were tho finest and most elaborate ever seen here.
| CHICAGO'S BIG TIME. It Celebrates Columbia Day in a Conspicuous Way. An Immcnia Concourse of People— The Parade n Spectacle Never Before Equaled In This Country. Chicago’* three day’s celebration In honor of the discovery of America was conspicuously successful. The decorations I were so profuse that the greatclly looked like u vast flower Barden In full bloom. The rod white and blue predominated,but with the national colors were mingled tho flags of all nations. The distinguished people present numbered thousands, among whom wore Governors of thirtythroe States, Vico President Morton,members of the Cabinet, ex-Presldont Hayes, many distinguished ox-soldiers and potentates from nearly all the civilizod nation* of tho world. Tho great city, which had sprung up In a twelve month—a magic city of palaces from a sandy waste—yet wearing tho sombltnzo of ancient Athens—illustrative of the highest development of American energy and commemorative of tho new and greater world, was to be dedicated. A detatochment of mounted police, the very pick of the city’s force, led the lirs 1 grand division. They were a fine lot of peace preservers. Behind them came a company of thoir b other patrolmen on foot, stepping out with military precision to tho music of Sousas's hand, tho latter acting as special escort to tho band of tho Mexican republic. Next In Hue was grand Marshal Miles and his staff, but the appearance of tho Indian fighter was not welcomed with half tho enthusiasm evoked by the gayly uniformed Chicago Hussars, who came along in column of platoons. A long string of carriages, con tainlng Mayor Washburno, the members of Board of Aldermen and the city officials, followed by tho Hussars. After those and bringing up tho rear of tho first division, wore tho visiting Governors and the members of their staffs, Some were mounted, but the majority preferred to use tho vehicles that were placed at their disposal. There wore people of all States in the solid mass of humanity that lined the sidewalks, the windows, and roofs' and balconies from the start -to the finish, and as one Governor after another was recognized ho was accorded a noisy welcome. Everybody knew McKinley, and Democrats and Republicans alike had a cheer and a waving of hats or handkerchiefs for the ’’Little Napoleon.” so that his passing was in the nature of a continuous ovation. cordial, loo, were tho plaudits showered upon Governors Flower, of New York; Enssell, of Massachusetts; white haired Horace Boiso, Of Iowa; Pattison, of Pennsylvania; ministerial looking Chase, of Indiana, and fat goodnatmel Peck, of Wisconsin, who angle 1 and chuckled to himself as though ho were cracking jokes In his cranium for his own delectation. Three hundred Indian lads from the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., under command of Captain Pratt, attired in neat gray uniforms,had the post of honor in tho second grand division, and acted as escort to Gon. A. P. Hawley. In the first subdivision were the various local courts of the ancient order of Foresters, in full regalia, each court being preceded by its standard bearer. A half a score of various Italian societies, social and benevolent, followed tho Foresters. In the third division wore the lodges of tho Patriotic Sons of America, Order of the United American Mechanics, Orangomon and the Patriotic Guard of America. Eacli organization had its band, and ail of them were limited to patriotic airs. Tho fourth division was made up of local Turner societies and tho Gorman veterans, while In tho fifth tho Scottish organizations, tho uniformed Sir Knights, Royal Scots and the natives of the mother country who woreindentliied with tho order of tho Sons of St. George turned out several thousand strong. Leading tho Royal Scots was a band of twenty-four pipers. They were costumed in the full royal Stuart plaid uniform. The Scots also wore In Highland uniform, and they kept time very prettily with the music of thoir native land. In the next two divisions the foreign speaking element hud its Innings. Tho Polish National Alliance turned out 5,C03 strong, some of tho lodges bearing such patriotic namos as Wtcklnskl.Kozleryuskl Llstewnik, Iludzynski and Laskourskl. Strosmajer Lodge of the Crollaii Benevolent Society followed tho Alliance, led by i Salavoulau baud and marshaled by a citizen named Niche Vottch. The Swedish and Scandinavian division was fully 10,020 strong, and was one of tho features of tho parade. Tho company was in uniforms of the Swedish dragoons—blue suitgold stripe on pants, white caps, American flag on breast, and sabers. Another was in uniforms of blue and gold. In the center of this division were four carriages hearing sixteen ladleswearing dresses representing the different costumes of their native land. Democratic marching clubs and high-schooi boys. Sons of Veterans, cadets and local semimilitary societies were mixed up indis criminately in tho eighth division, the most striking feature of which was a float fifty foot in length representing tho JJnl. ted States stcomer Monitor, manned by fifty men and drawn by ten horses. It had in escort of honor of 250 representatives >f tho local lodgesof the Sons of VeteransSome three thousand members of the Modem Women of America, Royal Arcanum and Hebrew societies composed the ninth division. Among the Woodmen were scattered representative.- front Wis-
consin, Kansas, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado and Nebraska. The Uniform Rank of Royal Arcanum was led by division No. 1, of St Louis, while the Heorew contingent; was escorted by a ledge of the order of Soinalesnoflin. Tho rear of tho second grand division was brought up hv the Ninth Italian Infantry of tho Knights of Pythias and the colored uniform rank of that order. The colored Knights were in regulation full dress uniform, and were given a hearty reception. The third and last grand division of the parade was nearly as largo as the other two combined. It was composed exclusively of members of Roman Catholic organizations, frahr.ml, social and benevolent. Capt. P. J. Cahill was chief marshal, and he required the servl ces of no less than two hundred aides to keep his division in apple pie order. The Uniformed Knights of St. Patrick in black broadcloth, sack coat and trousers, gilt trimmings, swords in trousers uud fatigue cap, led the line. Behind them came leu thousand members of the Catholic Order of Foresters, tho members of the high court occupying carriages. Tho second, third and fourth divisions embruejd tho Roman Catholic Central Voreln, various Catholic Italian societies, tho Catholic Knights of America, tho Ancient Order of Hibernian* ami several other organizations. Nearly every court or lodge had its hand. Many of the pataders were in tho rogalla of their respective organizations and carried tho lodge flags and banners. Every man in tills division, and there were over forty thousand of them, wore a tiny American flag us a boqiiot on the lapel of his coat. The average farm vegetable garden is not usually overstocked at this season, but those who have heeded our suggestions during the past six months should be able to | show a fine array of choice vegetables. Special attention should bo given to the kitchen garden during this month in the way of clearing off some crops and planting others for early spring growth. Hoe and thin out root crops and thoroughly eradicate all weeds from the garden. Look after the sweet corn, celery, cabbares, cauliflower, cucumbers, melons and spinach, and do not forgot the lucions tomatoes, which will continue to ripen until frost comes. The flower gardens and lawns also require attention at this juncture. Lawns will require more frequent mowing, but they should not bo cut too closely. Dahlias, gladioli tuberoses, etc., should be properly staked, chrysanthemums potted for household blooming, and a bed of violets made for flowers in early spring. The planting of such flowering bulbs as tulips, hyacinths, etc., will soon require attention. A society has been formed at Philadelphia to promote the eating of horse llesh. Tho originators of this unique association are in Philadelphia, and its secretary is Wilson Montgomery. As yet the merabois are few In number, but they make up for this deficiency by thoir Increased fondness for coo ;ed horse. THH MARKETS." ItVCIAWAPOMt.

OALIFOKHIA HOMIW. J' Some Important Information for Xlioas Contemplating a Chan go of Clim«. A considerable portion of California is admirably adapted by nature for comfortable homes. There is, perhaps, no place in the world whera a family, of moderate means to begin with, and of industrious habits, can live so easily, enjoying not only the 'comforts but even the luxuries of life. Instead of being, as many suppose, a place where only the wealthy can enjoy life, it is peculiarly adapted to homes of thrifty people who earn their daily bread, and whileone without means would undoubtedly find it very difficult to get a start, a man with a small capital can very soon surround himself with luxuries that only the wealthy can enjoy elsewhere. A small tract of land, 10 or, at most, 20 acres is enough, which can be purchased at a reasonable price if outside of a “boom” district. With intelligence and industry used in planting and cultivating it, an income is certain. It should be part orchard and part vineyard. While the trees and vines are being brought into bearing, enough to materially contribute to the maintenance of the family can be grown between tha trees, and if the neighborhood has been well selected, every member «f the family able and willing to work can find pleasant and remunerative labor in orchards and vineyards near by, and minister to the support of the family while acquiring the knowledge and skill necessary to the handling of their own crop. The third year a considerable return may be expected from the vineyard and from a part of the orchard. As the work has all been done within the family, this will be nearly all net income. The next year and thereafter there will be work enough and returns enough on the home place. Costly buildings are not noco-sary, for the climate is such that in much of the State life in the open air is entirely pleasant for three hundred days in the year. In the Coast Range of mountains, between San Francisco aud Monterey, arc many such homes. At first they were made on the valley land on either side of the range. Year after year they have crept up into the little valleys between the foot-hills, then on to the foot-hills, and in many places clear to the summits, All through they have found excellent soil, 1 good, pure water, and everywhere an exceedingly healthful climate. Nestled m these little valleys are some of the most delightful places in the world. So mild is the climate that fuschias and get animus grow all winter, and the family garden is planted in the fall, yie.ding good crops of peas, potatoes and any semi-hardy vegetables in February. There is plenty of land, equally productive, now in the market and at low prices, and persons looking for a location for a comfortable home should not fail to visit this promising region. The Santa Cruz Division of the Southern Pacific Company's Pacific System taps this range of mountains near the southern extremity, its t wo long tunnels passing under the mala range. For further information as to this locality and how it is reached, call upon or address the following named officers of the Southern Pacific Company : E. Hawley, Ass’t.
