Washington. D. C. April 11. After

searching through Hie records of the ! post off ico department of the confed-j crate states of A iiierica. evidence vva.i ! found on which allowance of an an- ! cicnl claim was recommended. The j claim was based on the carriage of mails on a Mississippi star route, from January 1 to April l-". isf.l. On the latter day, the state seceded and tin; ; contractor was never paid for his work j and was never able to collec t front 1 ho t

federal government because he could not shown that ho had not been paid Ly the confederate government. This matter, of itself, is unimportant but. it serves to evidence the importance of the records of the confederate States to this day. It is a fact that the number of persons who are aware that the records of the confederate utates are preserved with care, is comparatively small. The extent to which the records, accounts, books, papers, etc.. of the confederate states are rmployed in certain departments of the government today, as if they were a part of the cv-ery-day business of the government is remarkable. There are a number of instances of where these papers were necessary to .settle disputes and claims against the United States. Without these papers Hip claims never would have been settled. The government has nothing like the entire collection of Confederate documents in its possession, but those that are now in Washington are being added to yearly. Persons possessing those records as relics, when they realize tha importance of t hem, arrange that they xhall be returned to the government by decree of will, and in this manner many are being recovered. All the records of the Confederate, government were taken possession of by the United States government at the close of the war. A vast number had accumulated during the war. Many of these concerned matters which, for three and a half years, was out of the eontrol of the United States. This fact alone evidences the importance of the document. Every week or so, one of the government officials enters the department where these records are kept on file, and carefully searches for some paper which has a bearing on a recently developed case.

Waterbury, Conn., April 11. Miss Edna Bruns, the actress, niece of Francis Wilson, having a small part in his production of "When Knights Were Bold," created a sensation today by marching into the editorial rooms of the Waterbury American and horsewhipping Roland F. Andrews, the American's associate editor and dramatic critic. The expedition -was entirely successful, save for one small detail. The critic doubtless deserved the reproof administered, but in the excitement of the moment Miss Bruns got the wrong man. It developed later that the actress wielded the lash, not with the idea of expressing her disapproval of reviews wTitten by the critic during her season as leading

woman of the local stock company last summer, but because she was indignant at an article appearing in the newspaper's local columns a week ago. in which she was mentioned in connection with Mark Hanna, jr., whose marriage to Miss Pratt recently took place in Bridgeport.

A Dangerous Playground. Sir Leslie Stephen's familiar name fur the Swiss Alps, "the Playground of Europe," takes on a somewhat sinister aspect when we realize that the Alps are responsible for over 400 accidents a year. So many of these ure fatal that the London Lancet seems justified in saying that this 'playground'' has for many years been a graveyard, a fact which experience from year to year emphasizes rather than modifies.
