SOME HITS

With Regard to How to Send Presents by Mail. These hints are given out by the postal authorities here for the guidance of persons who have small articles to se-d to distant friends: If the art cle is small and light, or if the distance is great, the mail will be found cheaper tbatt the express and just as rapid and as safe. If the articles go bv mail and you are late sending them, pay letter postage. The mails are crowded and tetters get the preference Pack securely so the articles will not crush. Address plainly in ink and give the street number if possible. Pack: ges to be delivered by rural carriers snould bear the route number if possible. Presen s to persons visiting friends should te in care of their hosts. Perfumes or other liquids should be securely packed to avoid breakage. Have the packages weighed at the post office and prep.y in full. Put your return address on the wrapper. Then the postmaster can notify you if the article is not delivered and you cau send postage for its return. Do not use shipping tags for the address, they are too liable to become torn off and thus the address will be lost. Do not enclose your letter in the package; put it in a separate envelop. Write the addresses plainly so the railway postal clerk can read it with ease. He is often hurried and will be much overworked the coming few days. :L Labor Troubles. The troubles between the moulders at the Mill Works culminated in a fight last night in front of the Max well house. It seems that Charley H4 Johnson, who is accused of takirg a t union moulder's job at the Mil Works foundry, boards at the Mixwfcll house.

He tiled complaint alleging that Gus Bartel. who is one of the new men displac d, hit him withjaalf of a brick. The full facts in the case will not be known until the case comes, up m potsirwt - A vopnint wn iasnJ pfM tftt't?,l?ut i seemstbere ' were t . r a - - At lour or nve men mixeu up in me matter.

Secretary Root had a long cop ference with the President today about Gen. Miles interview. The position of the administration is that nothing will be tolerated which tends to revive the Sampson-Schley controversy from any officer in the army or navy. Action is to be taken 5n the case of E. S. Maclay whose history of the navy censured Schley. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 21. Rayner, Schley's attorney, says concerning Lonsr's disposal of the Schley case, the whole proceeding is arbitrary and tyrannical. He wonders whether the people who liye under free institutions will tolerate such exercise of despotic measures. A Landmark.

O , Dec. 21. With the mercury 14 below zero there is not a single car load of coal in the city. Several manufactories have closed and the waterworks pumping house has but one day's supply. Families are in distress. Akron, O., Dec 21. The shortage of the coal supply compels the burning of everything combustible. Evinsville. Ind., Dec. 21. Steamers are unable to run for want of coal.

Last night was the coldest of this blizzard, which means as cold as we have had it since the awful cold weather cf war time. LeRoy Browne's thermometer, from which records are taken as the standard, marked 13 below this morning. Several others registered even lower One came down to 16 .oelow. Tie result has been disastrous all over town. The first cold froze up water pipes in every part of the city. The plumbers were overworked, and in a yery few hours were so far behind orders that they could not possibly give any attention to a great many people. That left it so the frozen pipes simply froze harder and burtted and lots of people are in an awful fix, which will be worse when the pipes thaw out and let their contents loose on the ceilings and floors. Tbe boss plumbers have sent out to get what workmen they could secure but have no hopes of catching up with their work for several weeks to come. The Trains. Trains are all very late today, even more than they were yesterday. People simply have to go heme again or else wait for their train and take it when it comes trusting to Providence to get to their destination as early as the circumstances will allow. There were trains from the east six hours late at noon and still losing. Freights go through with two engines generally. Tbe coal famine does not affect the Pennsylvanialines to any great extent, as they pass through the coal regions. The same thing makes it so that Richmond will not be liable to lack for coal supply either. A complete opera company passed through today in a special train from Grand Rapids to Indianapolis, chang- ! ing lines here. There were 73 in the party and they were very comfortably situated; but report the cold up north of Fort Wayne yery in tense. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Saixe The funeral of Martha J.
