A Man to go with Every Boat and
See That the Law with Respect
Thereuut0 fa Nat VioIated

Philadelphia Times Of Tuesday.
The subject OF overcrowding excursion
boats Is receiving attention in this city as
well as i'll New York. The action on sun
day last OF the Surveyor and Collector OF
the New York customs district in station
ing men on every excursion boat leaving
New York harbor for Coney Island, Glen
Island, Rockaway and other points, for
the purpose Of counting passengers and
50 ing that the boats did not overstep
their lawful limits, has boon already
mentioned. Yesterday in this city the
Steamboat Inspectors and the Collector
aud Surveyor OF Customs of the Phlla-
delphia district held conference aud de-
uided to adopt the same mode
of action. On the coming Sunday
accordingly man will be placed on
board OF each of the principal excursion
boats running up and down the river to
see that the law is obeyed. Altogether
there are less than q dozen large oxcur-
sion boats. The principal ones are the
three which run down the Delaware To
Sea Breeze, Bombay Hook and Cape May.
These are the R.pa6i'c, the .IOhn 4. Warner
and the Thomas Clyde. OF these the
Republic is the largest. Its lawful capacity
is =, 800. The Warner and Clyde are lin
tied to 900 passengers each. There Is
the 5. ~. f,ifon, which runs to Whining
ton and intermediate points, and the
Columbia, the 1ipiiiyM and the Edem
Forrest, which run up to Burlington
and Bristol, all OF which are smaller
than the Republic. The supervision ol
the customs authorities and the inspectors
TO prevent oyercrcwding will apply only
to Sundays and holidays. There is no
danger OF any overrruwdlng GU week
days, as in the best VI times the ordinary
eXUursiunists never exceed iii numbers
the limit prescribed by Law. On the
Fourth OF July the utmost vigilance will
be used, as that Is invariably one OF the
greatest days for excursion boats of the
season. Meantime no instance ul over.

QUE ROUNDART LINE.
How Il ~ Marked Along British
America

The northern boundary Of this country
Is marked by stone cairns, iron pillars,
wood pillars, earth mounds and timber
posts. A stone cairn is "a feet by feet,
an earth mound feet by IA feet, an iron
pillar 8 feet high inches square at the
bottom and inches at the top, timber
posts feet high and s inches square.
There are 1892 of these marks between
the Lake of the Woods and the base OF
the Rocky Mountains. That portion of
the boundary which lies east and west of
the Red River Valley is marked by cast
iron pillars at even-mile intervals. The
British place one every two miles and the
United States one between each post. Our
pillars or markers were made at Detroit,
Mich. They are hollow iron castings,
three-eig hths of an inch in thickness, in
the form OF truncated pyramid, 8 feet
high, . int hes square at the bottom and 4
inches at the top, as before stated.
They have at the top solid pyramidal
cap, and at the bottom an octagonal ilange
one inch in thickness. Upon the oppu-
site faces are cast in letters two inches
high the inscriptions, Convention OF
London" and October 20, 1915" The
inscriptions begin about four feet six
inches above the base, and read upwards,
The interiors of the hollow posts are filled
with well-seasoned cedar posts sawed to
lit, and securely spiked through spike
holes cast in the pillars for the purpose.
The average weight of each pillar when
completed is So pounds. The pillars are
all set four feet in the ground, with their
inscription faces to the north and south,
and the earth is we'll settled and stamped
about them. For the wooden posts well
seasoned logs are selected, and the por-
ton above the ground painted red to pre-
vent swelling and shrinking. These
posts do very we'll, but the Indians cut
them down ior fuel, and nothing but iron
will last very long. Where the line

The contrac. for carrying the mails be-

has Just been awarded for $500 per year.
The price formerly paid to Mr.. Pyle, the
postmasters father, was 1880, which
has recently been reduced to 81 300 or
81 400. The contract was formerly made
without advertising for bids, but the re-

service they contract for, though We be-
lieve that, a ueerly enough, there has never
been any security required tor this ser

our whole mail, while every letter carrier
who handles a part of it, gives heavy

We hope il NAV prove that the new
contractor can perform the service at a

The Third of the Extra
Issues. .

This is the third number Of
the extra edition OF the DELLA
WARE STATE JOURNAL sent out
free to over seven thousand |
people in all parts of the State.
We think those who have re-
ceived it must acknowledge
that it is an excellent paper,
and well worth all we ask for
it, aside from the extraordinary
inducements we offer for the
present to subscribers. We
announced in the first number
of this extra issue that four of
them would be issued and the
fourth will be sent out this day
week, and after that the send
ing of the paper will Of course
b. discontinued to all who are
not by that time subscribers
for it. .=.
We have alre ady received
quite a number of subscrip-
tons in response to the offer
made in our advertisement on
the first page, and we wish a
sufficient additional number
would come in this week to
enable us to announce next
week, in the last of these free
extra issues, the name of the
person who will receive the
hundred dollars in gold we
offer to some one among the
first five hundred subscribers.
We have made the offer simply
through the columns of the
JOURNAL for two reasons. One
is we propose to give back SO
large a proportion of the money
we receive that we cannot well
afford to pay anything to can
vassers, and the second is tina
the papers are sent just where
we wish to procure subscribers
for our weekly paper. We hav'
not advertised this offer in VIII
mington, for the obvious reason
that we do not want subscriber
to the weekly where the dali
can be promptly served. w
cannot, however, get EVER
EVENING quickly enough out t
the country districts to expect
large subscription for it, and W
are therefore DESTROYS of builC
ing up a circulation there fl
the JOURNAL, and are for tt
present offering eXtraordinal
inducements to enable us to d
SO rapidly. If our plan do'
not accomplish this rapidly
will be abandoned after the fir
present is given and the off
will be withdrawn.
This being the case, we urs
those who are now receivlr
the JOURNAL free to rememb
that they will receive but Of
more issue so, and to send
their subscriptions promptly
they intend doing so.

tor Jones OF Florida was published, show
ing that the General strongly sympa-

that General Grant had also addressed a
letter to the President upon the SANE
subject. General Grant now says that
he did write such letter to
the President, and says that there
Was no res son why the letter should not
be published. He also says that lie has
received letter from the President in
reply to the communication in question,
and he assured reporter of the New

pairing a reply to this letter
OF Mr.. Garfeld's. General Grant declares
that Senatorial courtesy is not new

observed the custom in connection with

Frieuis 4. Stand.
At 4 inference of the Stalwarts in
Albany on Tuesday Mr.. Conltling made
long speech. He opposed any cnmbina-
tiOh with the object OF ,lecting Stalwart
coupled with half breed senator. lie
said that such combination would be
practically combining the bribery fastened
upon the half breeds. Moreover. any
such election must prove futile. The
Democratic United States Senate would
never honor the credentials OF auy Re
publican whose skirts were be-mirchtd
with bribery, or whose title was cluuded.
If two Republican Senators were elected,
they must be pure Stalwarts, and men
whose characters were above suspicion.
They must stay here until the bribery
investigation was closed. Ii the hali
breeds still pressed the selection OF unfit
candidates, and continued to stand with
out the pale OF party organization, and it
was impossible to elect Stalwart RtpUbli
cans, they should favor an adiourmn-n.
thus allowing the rank ami file OF tn"
Republican purity in the State to pass on

Stalwarts ought to stand by their cul0rs

historical presidents hearing upon the
courtesy due Senators in making execu-
tive appointments. 1t Included history
Of the Simmons case in Boston. Mr..

was apparent that this speech was made
for the purpose of stitching the backs OF
the Stalwarts. Some of them had evinced
disposition to urge the Withdrawal ut
Coukling and Plat and the selection OF
Cornell and Crowley, or some equally
prominent Stalwarts. The speech tad q
good effect to all appearances. There ar,
now no stragglers left in the Stalwar
column. From this time forward it j,
expected that they will maintain boil
