iPAYS LARGEST LIVERY BILL IN THE WORLD
j Uncle Sam Finds the Collection of Mail Expensive.
Washington, July 18. The postofflce department pays the largest 11 v.ery bill In the world. For this pur'pose the department has now at its disposal the sum ol $8,000,000. For , many years Congress appropriated i large sums for the purpose of collecting mall in cities, designations of (which are left to the department. This year's appropriating is the largest of any preceding year for the hirlng of horses and vehicles. It is the 'intention of the department, however, 'to make an experiment which, if successful, will do away with the use of (horses altogether and substitute in 'their place the automobile for the collection of mail. A contract has tbeen closed under which six automobiles will be furnished in this city for the collection of mall.

Dispatch Says Violence and
Murder Characterize Work.
Coshocton, O., July 13. Ben Stevens, twenty-seven, curly-haired and soul-ful eyed, school teacher, hotel clerk, dancing master and traveling man, is a wonder really, he is. Here, in a town of 12.000 people, just the size where every family is
supposed to know all about the affairs j of everyone else. Stevens maintained two families, within three blocks of each other and on the same street, for more than a year. During this time he traveled for a local novelty advertising firm. He would come in from a trip and go to one house for two or three days. Then he would get ready to leave again, usually by a night train and kissing one wife good-bye, would make a circuit of a few squares and show up at home No. 2. Both his wives were young women, one nineteen, the other twenty-three. He married Bessie Chaney, of Newcomerstown. May 8, 1905, in Steubenvllle. In September of the following year he married Catherine Brucken in Clarksburg, W. Va. While he was courting Miss Brucken his first wife gave birth to a son. in a hospital in Clarksburg. Stevens was a dancing master in
Clarksburg. After nearly a year's double life there he accepted a position with the local concern and moved both his families to Coshocton. One he housed at 327 Locust, the other at 53S Locust. In the latter home, seven months ago. Miss Catherine Brucken
Stevens became the mother of a pretty girl baby.
Here Stevens was particular about
his acquaintances. He made it a practice to meet only the people of influence. Among them he was well liked.
He had agreeable manners, a good address and was an interesting talker.
Few of his friends ever met either of
his wives.
Recently one of his wives read In a
local paper of Mrs. Ben Stevens hav
ing attended a brother's funeral in
Toledo. She called upon Mrs. Stev
ens No. 2, and Stevens' carefully kept
secret was out. About that time both
nad received letters from Stevens.
mailed from different towns in Mis
souri. He has not been heard from
since.
Immediately the wives got busy for revenge. The grand jury returned an
indictment against Stevens for non
support, Ignoring the bigamy charge, as the offense was committed outside
tne county. Now the wives say they will have him indicted both in Jeffer
son county and in West Virginia.
Stevens' parents live in Parkersburg W. Va., and at different times he had each wife at their home. Nothing was
said to wife No. 2 of the existence of
wife No. 1.
St Petersburg, July 18. The Novoe
Vremya publishes a dispatch from Ta brlz, Persia, declaring that the revolu
tionists there have been overcome by the government troops,, and that the
horsemen of Rachln Khan are now pil
laging the town with violence and
murder.
Chicago, July 18 With the democratic and republican conventions
now a part of history and interest centered on the prohibition conven
tion at Columbus, the big liquor inter
ests whose headquarters are in this city are beginning to feel in earnest
the effects of the "prohibition wave" which swept the country this spring, Following the convention of the United States Brewers' association in Mil
waukee, at which it was declared that
a campaign would be waged against disreputable saloons, figures have been compiled showing the extent of the
inroads made upon the liquor traffic. Carloads of fixtures and furnishings from saloons in now dry territory are
being received by concerns in this city every week. It is stated that Milwaukee breweries have had to recall over 200 carloads of such fixtures and the figures for Chicago do not fall far behind this total. The most significant sign, however, is the Immense falling off in the expenditures by breweries and distilleries for new buildings, machinery, improvements and repairs. The expenditure In this way last year was close to S2O.00O.O0O, but judging from the first six months liquor men estimate that it will be barely ?30O,OOO this year a falling of 97j per cent. Many skilled workmen have been thrown out of employment as a result of this reduction in the business. On the other hand tho economic ad
vantages of the readjustment undoubtedly compensates for this. Figures have Just been compiled by the antiliquor interests here clciming a probable increase In factory wages resulting from prohibition of $2S6,152,958.

Chihuahua, Mexico, July 18. Pedro
Alvarado, the wizard miner who extracted many millions of dollars of
wealth from the famous Palmilla mine and rose from a peon to a multi
millionaire in a few years is building
up a vast addition to his fortune from another mine which he recently ac
quired. He got tired taking out ore trom the Palmilla mine by Drimitive
methods and a few months ago he leased that property to a syndicate of
Americans composed principally of Boston men. It Is stated that under the terms of this lease he is to receivo a royalty of 48 per cent on the net returns from the property. The lessees have Inaugurated modern methods of working the Palmilla and the prospects are favorable for it keeping up its record as a wonderful producer of rich ore. It is said that Mr. Alvarado's 48 per cent royalty Income will give him a greater Income from the Palmillo than when he operated it on his own account. It Is in his new mine which he calls the Maria that the Interest of mining men of Mexico is now chiefly centered. It is known that an enormous body of ore was recently struck la the Maria and that which has ben shipped to the smelter run nearly eight pounds silver to the ton. Alvarado is now giving his en-tire attention to his new mine. He is preparing to operate it by the most modern methods and it will soon be yielding up Its riches at the rate of many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year if the bis ore body holds out.
The Maria mine is situated at Reconsvalles, some distance from the Palmilla. It is stated that Alvarado Is having plans prepared for another palace which he will erect at Reconsvalles. He now spends (rat little time at his magnificent residence near ParraL The imposing place upon which h s at MTral millions of dollars
in its construction and furnishing is in charge of servants.
Since his lease of the Palmilla mine Alvarado has acquired a numebr of prominent mining properties in this part of Mexico. It is -said by mining men that he used excellent judgment
in the selection of these undeveloped
properties and most of them like the Maria will prove wonderful producers when attention is given their development. It is stated that Alvarado's knowledge of mining and mines is far greater than he was formerly given credit for It was thought by many people that his success with the famous Palmilla was a piece of blind luck and that he was Ignorant of the true principles of mining. The impression was largely due to the fact that he could never be Induced
to discuss mining matters witn practical mining men who were acquainted with him and apparently had little confidence in tho reports of mining experts. He purchased the Maria mine after a personal inspection of the property. He told some of his friends at what particular point the ore body would be encountered. His prediction proved correct in every detail. In his younger days Alvarado worked a3 a common laborer in the mines for 35 cents a day. It is said that during that period he made a careful study of formations and ore veins and that he acquired a practical knowledge which brought him his great riches in later years.
Alvarado continues to give big part of his income to charity. Ho is the friend of every poor man in Parral district. The aged and infirm are special objects of his philanthropy Churches and schools are his hobby. Notwithstanding his great wealth Alvarado has never been farther away from the city of Parral than the city of Chihuahua. Several years ago he
chartered a special train and took his wife to Chihuahua to have her teeth treated by a dentist. He expects to visit the city of Mexico in the near future.
