Newspaper Postage.

A Washington dispatch saws: The
Postofice officials, who are making
arrangements to put the new postage
code in operation, have discovered that
the, lack OF uniformity in the rates of
postage on newspapers and eriodicals
is likely to create much confusion, and
to give publishers additional labor.
The law provides that newspaper mat.
ter shall be sent at the rate of two cents
per pound, and periodical matter at
three cents. 1t has been the custom of
the publishers who issue both maya
zines and newspapers to send news
paper and magazine in the same wrap
per where one person subscribed for
them. This is also the practice OF the
large newspaper companies in sending
their bundles to the local dealers. A
strict compliance with the new law will
necessitate the .discontinuance of this
prac5ce, for the reason that the Post
master OF the place of publication will
not be able to compute postage at diff
ferent rates on different grades of mat
ter lncloeed in the same wrapper. It
has been suggested that this Defect in
the law should be called to the atten-
ton OF Congress directly tpon It's as.
sembling. and that the rates. should be
made uniform by amendment before the
newilaw can go into effect. It has been
suggested that a uniform rate for all
classes OF mail matter should be fixed at
two cents. af 40 TIN p sXur

Squills said he. could easily clean It ont
by exploding a little powder in the fire
place. The idea seemed to Pitman to
be good one, and he bodght almost
ten pounds ofpowder in order to do the
work thoroughly at thefifst blast. Some
men were busily crawling his roof that
day. and Just as the Judge was about TO
touch off the charge workman named
Snyder leaned over the top of the Chin
ney TO eau to the man below to send mn
some more tar. Then the Judge Int the
slow match. The view which met the
eye of Mr.. Snyder was, q fine one. EN-

Judges chimney thoroughly cleaned,
but thatit would need abont' four cart,
loads of bricks to repair damages. After
this the Judge will clean his fiues with
a brush tied to clothes-prop."

D SOI.sShipley,s Poet.Raee.

= good many years Ego, when pub
ilsmng newspapers in Michigan was a
brigandish Sort OF business. A man
known as "sOld Sol Shiplev.ss was en-
ployed on a journal in Eaton county.
He had just come from the East. and
was In mortal terror of wolves. bears.

prietor of the paper had big doc.
which took a great liking to Shipley
One evening the old man started to 90
out to farmers, about a mile from
town, where there was to be grand
shoe-down, and the dog sneaked after
HIM, skulking along SO softly that Old
Sol didn't see him until clear of the vii
lage. Then happening to turn around
he found the dog at his heels, and he
made q clean jump of fifteen feet. be-
lieVing that a wolf was with him. The
dog gave a yelp and made after him.
and Shipley flew down the road like a
rabbit going for hollow log. The dog
kept close to him, thinking it was all in
fun, and the printers yells were plainly
heard half mile away. Nearing the
house, he thought the wolf was gaining
on him, and he turned aside and began
circling around log barn and yelling
with all his might. The folks came
running down the road, but they saw
what was up, and they stood back and
yelled at Shipley to put in his best ticks
until they could get gun. And then
they stood there and counted until he
had made the circuit of the house thir-
ty-tive times. At last he found his legs
failing, and he would yell out as he
came around
:" Oh, 1githegun-giterquick-
give y, fiftydollar!'
The race came near using him up.
When he stopped he had but one boot
on and was bareheaded, and no one
could ever find the missing articles

DoubiesTrack Railway Between Chica.
90 and New York.

If there is any truth in the statement,
for which the New York Graphic is au-
thority, that Vanderbilt end his people
propose to build double tack freight
railway from New York to Chica 90, the
farmers of the West certainly I've
cause for devout thanksgiving. The
piaD unfolded by the Graphic is SIM
pie and reasonable. The New York
Central Company will soon have com
pleted two additional tracks between
Albany and Buffalo and the possession
OF the Harlem and Hudson River rail-
roads by the same corporation gives it
practically four tracks between New
York and Buffalo. 1t only remains for
the company to lay double track be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo in order to
complete freight railway between the
West and the East. With this advantage
the New York. Central Company would
be able to cut under, not only the Bal
tlmere and Ohio rates, but any schedule
that could be framed by company
having smaller facilities. G ain could
be carried on such a freight railway at
rates scarcely exceeding canal tolls.
