had written him that the city of Faris had purchased a -device for the oiling of its streets and that the success of the experiment "was most gratifying to the citizens of that place. Mr. Merrill stated that the Good

Roads Improvement company of Cin

cinnati had made a very low rate for

oiling the streets of this city if the property owners desired to try this method. Mr. Merrill stated that he had recently written to see if a still

lower rate could be obtained.

LIQUOR LICENSE Petition Presented to Council By the Widow of Benjamin Bussen-

WORK AT MARKET HOUSE.

RAILROAD

According: to a new ruling by the fourth assistant postmaster general, it rests with the carriers whether or not Richmond people shall receive their mail at the carriers window as ha3 been the custom before on days on which no deliveries were made on the routes.

According to the new ruling, mail j addressed to your street or number must be delivered there and if this is) !ot satisfactory to you. you have twoj wars to 2-et vour mail besides. One

Is to receive it at the general delivery Mry" one

window and the other is to rent a box. The following notice has been sent out 10 postmasters: "You are informed that the clerks annot be required to search carriers' rases for mail addressed to delivery by carrier. Patrons of a city delivering office have the privilege of receiving their mail in either of three ways, as they elect. Br carrier, through general delivery or in a rented box. They

cannot receive part in .one way and the remainder in another unless it is specifically addressed for such delivery." Likely to Be Continued. It Is probable, however, that carriers of this city will continue to deliver mail to its patrons at the carriers" window to business men and others who want to get their mail before the carriers come around, but it will be optional with the carrier whether or not

lio r!rcc thi Mail arlrirocEorl in a tin. INQUIRY

tel or boarding house, bearing your name, but having the number of the hotel or house where you are supposed to be stopping, or addressed in care of such number or proprietor, must be delivered to the place addressed. Should the carrier deliver it to you on the street or at the office he would be disobeying the rules of the depart

ment, and in case of complaint being made, would be in for a reprimand. Based on a Technicality. According to the opinion of Postmaster Spekenhirr, the Sunday delivery means much to both the carriers and manufacturers, as many of the latter secure all their inywrtant letters on Sundajis, while by serving one hour at the carriers' windows on Sunday morning, the postmen are then not!

overburdened with mail on Monday morning, where otherwise this would be the case. The whole question is based on a technical point and it is very probable that no procedure, such as the discontinuance of the Sunday office delivery will result.

ning by a score of S to 1, It was a busy day for IIiggin3 and Harfr, especially Higgins, whom" Mansfield found it impossible to handle without fouling. The work of Dall, an amateur, for Logansport, was especially good. At both defensive and offensive playing the locals had Marion beaten from start to finish.

At council meeting Monday evening. Councilman McMahan of the Seventh ward, asked for information concerning the West Second street crossing.

He said that he had not heard of it for some months, but that he and the residents of West Richmond could not af

ford to lose trace of a matter they had been fighting for several years. President Merrill stated that week before last he saw Supt. Neff of the Richmond division and asked him what progress the railroad engineers were making with the plans and specifications of the West Second street vi

aducts. Mr. Merrill said that at that time Mr. Neff had promised to have

the plans ready to submit to the city

by the first of last week, but when that time came. Mr. Merrill said the plans

did not show up. Flood Has Interfered.

Mr. Merrill stated that last Wednesday he saw Mr. Scott, engineer of Maintainance of way of the Richmond division, and Mr. Scott stated that his engineers had not been able to complete the plans at the time fixed by Supt. Neff. owing to the fact that their entire time was occupied with matters growing out of the floods, which had damaged the road in many places. Mr. Merrill stated that Mr. Scott as-J

sured him these plans wouuld be ready to submit to the city the first part of

this week. Agreement Not Signed. Mr. Study stated that the city had not yet signed the West Second street crossing agreement because it was not known what the city's share of the expense for this work would amount to until the railroad company had completed its estimates. Mr. Study stated that if the city entered into the agreement before these plans were completed there would be no way of

getting out of the agreement if the es

timated cost ran into fancy figures. Mr. McMahan stated that he only inquired

concerning the progress of negotiation

Decause ne was a tram the company

might dilly-dally until it was too late

to make the improvements this year.

Council's attention was called Monday evening to the fact that the late Benjamin .Bussen, who died in January, left his widow no estate except her interest in his city liquor license, for which he paid $250, and that the license at the time of his death, had

seven months and lo aays to run. The license is of no value to Mrs. Bussen and she has petitioned for the return of $256.30, the value of the unexpired term. The matter was refer

red to a committee.

Market House Improvements. An ordinance appropriating 1,500

for improvements at the South Sixth street market house was presented to

council and passed under suspension of the rules. These improvements call for the cementing of the market house square and the floor of the market house. When the improvements are made the old building will be In splendid condition and the city will be in position to advance rates on stalls and booths, making the institution self sustaining. Petition is Required. At the previous council meeting the

board referred the question of grading

and graveling North Tenth street from

F street to G street, also the making

of cement curbs, gutters and tide-

walks, to council and council in turn referred the matter to the streets and

alleys committee. This committee has recommended that the petition of the residents of this neighborhood be granted by the board but that the im

provements should not be made until the residents of North Tenth street,

from E to F, petitioned for the same.

Profit and Ixxss. It had been a hard day for Mike Finnogan, the "ragman." Many and varied had been his wanderings, but no one seemed inclined to dispose of rags. As he was making his way homeward at the close of this hot July day, through one of the tenement sections of the city, he heard a cry from above. Looking up he saw a woman at a sixth-story window violently beckoning to him. Mike's heart was full of hop as ho stumbled up the broken stairs. At the top he was met by a woman holding a weeping child by the hand "Hey, mister." cried the mother to the perspiring Mike, "don't you take bad little boys away in your big bas?" Harper's Wceklv.

Sunday evening. An excellent pro

gram was presented in a pleasing manner and was duly appreciated. An amusing story is related of John?1 Hopkins. Honesty was evidently one of the fundamental traits of his character. On one occasion he was sent by his motr'to borrow a fiatlron of a neigbbor.Ce good neighbor gavn him the flatiron &nd at the same time offered him a piece of pie. "No, thank you. I don't want any pie," said the red faced boy as h started home. Halfway there the pl and his conscience were too much fo! him. He wheeled about and knocke.! again at the neighbor's door, his face redder than ever. "I told yon a story," he expiated. "I did want that pie."Cleveland Leader.

Improvement. No longer is it quite the thin For senators to steal Nor for the congressmen to mij In every shady deal. A statesman must, to win applause. Be honest more or less , And try to live within his pay That's going- some. I guess. The men who hammer out the laws Pay money when they ride; No longer are their pocketbooks With passes bulging wide; They do not move their household goods On franks by through express Or charge it to the governmentThat's going some, I guess. It's safe to leave a red hot stove. Unchained when they are near; They will not lift a chunk of iceNot at this time of year. A blind man need not hesitate To mingle and make free With them although his money may Be tucked where all can see.

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk. The sparrow hiwk almost Invariably ; catches a flyirig bird for Its meal, even striking down birds as large as the ' wood pigeon, though usually going no I higher than a blackbird. If it does not exactly swoop like the larger hawks, yet it must have conditions of chase of its own choos!nr. That is why the small birds usually mob It with impu- -nity when they are numerous enough to bewilder it. Once, however, I saw '. a sparrow hawk that had bean molested for some minutes by a perfect cloud ! of greea finches dart among them and secure a victim. One day I had one of ' these birds pointed out as the one which a few days earlier had come close to the house toward dusk and caught a bat on the wing. That, however, is a very unusual meal.
