WANT PERSONS TO i USE PARCLES POST

New System, Effective January 1, Has Numerous Oddities. The distance from Rfchmond to Cincinnati and to Indianapolis is approximately the same. If you try to send a package to either city under the parcels post system, which begins operations on January , you will ind that Cincinnati is nearer to Richmond than is Indianapolis. Cincinnati is In the first zone, and the parcels post rate per pound Is six cents. Indianapolis is in the second zone and the rate per pound is, proportionally higher. The unit in which Richmond is located Is numbered 1819 on the parcels post map. The greater part of this unit is in treble county. To determine the boundaries of the units, the postal authorities at Washington divided the parallels and meridians running through the United States. The resulting blocks were numbered and nl towns and cities in the oblong belong to the unit number which it bears. The rate from Richmond to Terre Haute is the same as the rate to ladia'napolis, as Terre Haute in in the same zone in which Indianapolis is found. One of the freak things noticed on the map is that fhe state of Kentucky is in fjve zones, the only state having this distinction, according to the clerk in the local post office. The local postal authorities are anxiously awaiting the opening of the service. They say that they want persons to use the innovation at once, in order that the clerks may see how the new department works. COURT NEWS The will of Mary Donohoe was admitted to probate today.

The trial of Jack Lewis Brandon charged with assault on Edith Moon, was continued this forenoon. Edith Moon, John Moon, her father, and Harry Gennett, vice president of the Starr Piano company, were placed on the stand today. The court adjourned at noon until Monday. Edith Moon and her father contradicted their own testimony of the previous trial. The girl made statements which slightly contradicted the testimony of Chief Gormon. Moon said that his daughter never told him of the attempted assault until the affidavit had been filed against Lewis. More than thirty jurors were examined before a jury was procured. One of the features of the examination of the jurymen was that Harry Townsend was accepted after he had told the court he had listened to the testimony of the witnesses during the first trial of the actor and had heard the closing arguments of the state and defendant's attorney. The jury is composed of Alvin E. Cully, Oscar Mashmeyer, Harry Townsend, Nathan Colvin, T. W. Druley, W. C. Gates, J. F. Ackerman, W. H. Jones, John Davis, W. C. Walls and M. M. Duke.

JACK JOHNSON HAS THEM ALL WORRIED (National News Association) CHICAGO. Dec. 28 The advertised sale of the Judson G. Sherman property at Lake Geneva on which Jack Johnson, the negro prizefighter has an option w ill not take place in the rooms of the Chicago Real Estate Board as advertised. The board asserted the sale "looked queer" and refused to permit it in the board rooms. Johnson announced vigorously that he intended to make his sumemr home at Lake Geneva, a Chicago millionaire colony, and that he intended to promote a negro pleasure club in the property. The millionaires protested. Then the sale was advertised so the millionaires might bid in the property if they didn't want the negroes to have it. Members of the Lake Geneva colony also own property adjoining the Sherman place asserted they would not bid for it even if an auction was arranged. Commercial Club Notes By c. w. j. Parcels Post will soon be established and just in this connection let us express the hope that our citizens will use it for the betterment and not to the injury of our city. Before you decide to use it to buy of the Mail Order Houses in Chicago, consider carefully whether it is best for you to patronize the mail order house or not. j No one can justly criticise another ' for wishing to buy where it is the 1 cheapest, but do you buy cheaper of the Mail Order House? The writer bought an article of a local retail merchant for $1.25, a friend sent to Chicago for a similar article and paid $1.55 plus the freight and the friend admits that his goods is much inferior in quality to the article bought here. Moreover the friend bought his article "sight and unseen" and waited two weeks for its arrival while the writer made his choice from an assortment and it was In his home in 30 minutes afterward. Again, is it cheaper to send your money out of the city or buy goods so that a part at least of the money remains with us? Again, persons buying of MM1 Ori der Houses often buy In larger quan tities, especially in groceries. Try your local grocer on the same quantity and you will find he will be will'ng to make a reduced price. Again, in estimating the price we pay our local merchants we should deduct the amount they give to our churches, Y. M. C. A., schools, charity movements, lodges, and the score of other movements for the good of the community to which they are generously donating. We do not call on the Mail Order Houses for any help in these local affairs. We believe a fair consideration of this matter will convince you that it is better to trade at home. C. & O. ROAD IS SUED FOR VIOLATIONS The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad is being sued for violating the "sixteen hour" law. District Attorney Miller, at the request of the attorney general and on evidence provided by the Interstate Commerce Commission, filed suit in the Federal court at Indianapolis to compel the railroad comIpany to pay a fine of $4,000 for alleged violation of this rule. It is charged i in the complaint that the company perand G. T. Dixon; two firemen, H. F. Hoeppner, and H. W. Daniels: Charles Miller, conductor, and three brakemen, A. McCullough, C. T. Bovee and A.

Good form

New Year's Party. Invitations iu the foliowing form were sent out fr what proved to be a specially pleasant little gathering of married couples; "Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert Smith request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. James Whitetug's company at a New Year's party to meet Father Time, on New Year eve. at 9 o'clock." Arriving guests at the hour appoint ed were received not by their genial host, but by Father Time in flowing robes, wig. beard (and holding the traditional scythe imitation), whom the hostess presented to each In turn. Time did not remain to the close of the entertainment, but he stayed long enough uiou the scene to get the fun of the little sociable Into swing by devising some u musing contests. For one of these a mysterious looking box. labeled 'The Ages." was passed, from which each in turu drew a slip marked with a certain date, as A. i. 14SVJ. a. D. loo;, u. c. rr.. a. i lSir.. and so on. When all had drawn Fattier Time called upon the players to nay what event occurred on the date drawn. If successful in naming it he or she retained the slip. If not the little paper was returned to the box. This latter was passed again and again until no more slips remained. .The person with most slips to his credit received a prettily bound diary for the coming year. Father Time also posed for his portrait (a pemil sketch), pads and pencils being distributed for the purpose to all. He awarded a calendar as a prize for the cleverest likeness. Funny, too. were the resolutions for New Year which they were requested to formulate mentally and to write out in rime. The absurd jingles were read aloud by the master of ceremonies, and a prize consisting of a book of nonsense verse was presented to the competitor adjudged most successful. In another round pencils and paper were retained, and ten letters of the alphabet were read aloud. Ten minutes were allotted In which to write out a New Year's resolution of ten words, each word beginning with one of the letters given. The characters. It was understood, might be nsed either in or out of the order in which they were named. The player whose message was accounted cleverest won a prize. Each guest later on was blindfolded and led, so bandaged, to a large book, a dictionary in this case, which he w9 asked to open at random. The first word on the page turned np, it was understood, would have some mystic bearing upon the fate of the subject during the coming year. At the conclusion of the games Father Time disappeared and mine host entered, full of apologies for his tardiness, but nevertheless in time to take the guest of honor out to supper. Sending Wedding Gifts. A gift to a prospective bride must always be sent to her individually, whether she is personally known to the sender or not this, of course, where the bridegroom is a friend, but the girl he Is to marry not known. If there is silver and it is marked it should be with the name or initials of the bride to be. Table or bed linen, an embroidered centerpiece or anything that has the name must be In her name. There is a reason for these laws. The old saying of "many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" applies. Something may happen to prevent the marriage. Death or even a misunderstanding that cannot be straightened may mean that the marriage will nerer take place. Then would come the difficulty of the bride elect having assumed beforehand a name that Is not legitimately hers. In sending a gift the donor's card without any writing at all Is inclosed with the present; if sent after marriage, a short Dote of congratulations may accompany the same. Husband and wife may seDd a gift Jointly; then the calling card must have "Mr. and Mrs." on it, but always the gift is sent to the bride to be. Of course in a note of congratulation the name of the bridegroom must be included, and the more simple and friendly such notes are the better. Street Car Etiquette. A woman should get on a car ahead of a man, but when they leave it the man should descend first and be ready to give the woman his hand to help her to the ground. If the car is crowded and another man rises to give a seat to the woman escorted by a man the latter should lift his hat in recognition of the courtesy. If a woman is alone she should acknowledze the offer of a seat with a bow and a word of thanks. The man who is escorti&g a woman pays her fare, but should they meet by chance it is not etiquette for him to do so. Candor and Manners. Pitt was once canvassing for himself when he came to a blacksmith's shop. "Sir." said he to the blacksmith, "will you favor me with your vote?" "Mr. Pitt, said the son of Vulcan. "1 admire your head, bnt bang your heart" "Mr. Blacksmith," said Pitt. I admire your candor, but hang your l.anners."
