Nearly $4,000 postmasters are af.

When it is Bigamy to Remarry.

Constantine Faber, of New York,
was convicted IN the General Ses-
sions, last fall, of bigamy. He had
been divorced from his wife and
forbidden to remarry during her
life. s.
The defence was that in remarry
ing Faber did not commit bigamy,
but only contempt of court. Judge
Gildersleeve sentenced him to State
prison for five years. The General
Term reversed the conviction. The
Court ofAppeals has in turn affirmed
it, thus for the first time declaring
that marriage, in defiance of the
condition Of decree Of divorce, Is
bigamy.

The next appointment to be made
by the President will be commits
stone: of internal revenue. The
vacancy was caused by the resig-
nation of General Raum, which was
handed to the President Saturday.
The reason Mr.. Raum assigns for
his steps is that his salary Of $4,000
per year is insufficient for the needs
of his family, and he withdraws
from the public service to resume
the practice of his profession, the
law. He held the position for
more than six years and was re-
markably efficient officer. It is
said the President received six ap.
plications for the vacant place from
ex members of Congress within three
hours after he had accepted Gen.
Raum's resignation.
There has been some complaint
recently among young aspirants for
Office that the Departments are
supporting many superannuated
employees. There are more grey
heads to be met in the Post
Office Department than any
other. Judge Lawrenson, the Notary
of the Department is about as well
known as the Post Office building
itself. He began service during
Jackson's administration, nearly
sixty-four years ago. But Nj,
James Marr has served in the De,
] partment the longest consecutive
period. He was appointed in 1881,
and has to-day salary of $500
per year guaranteed to him for lift

The State Of Oregon has hit upon
a novel plan to regulate her liquor
traffic. An exchange says that ev-
cry man who drinks is required to
take a license costing two dollars a
year. Unless armed with this doc
ument he cannot get his bitters at
any hotel or saloon for it is a penal
offense for the proprietor of these
establishments to sell to any person
without a license. Every six
months the names of these persons
who take out license are published
in the local papers, SO that the pub.

to drink.

Twenty-Five years ago hard working
blacksmith set up his forge and began bust
ness in small way in South Washington,

order the large building on Seventh street,
between II and l streets southwest, now so
fayorably known as John Il. Springmann's

These works stand as q noble instance OF

apparent in that section of the city, and Mr..
Springmann is recognized as leading spirit
