She. however, persevered in the use of the

he does not justify in his appear
ance the name he has as q slirewd poll

looking man, with heavy brown mus

They are the cause of many troubles

that cattle that the Government fur.
nished Indians costing $40 head have
been taken by these squaw men and
sold TO cattle growers at So and $40
a head. Drive the white men Off of the
Indian reservations. These lands
leased by Indians to cattlemcn have
not been leased Ia Il proper way, even
IL the right to do so exists. 1t was all
done by the connivaucG Of the Interior
Department when the War Department
and Congress should have granted the

This conflict Of authority between the

'Under the new postal law a letter
of double the former weight can now
go for two cent stamp" said clerk
in the Pittsburg postoflice. "Bdt there
are numbers of people who are under
the impression that tue law also re-
duces the price of drop letters from two
cents to one. Three or four persons
have been here TO day who were labor
ing under that dclusion, and every day
there are more or less. They seem to
find it difficult to comprehend the fact
that it costs as much for them to send Il
lettcra few squares as it wuuld TO send
one to California. The PostofliCe De-
par.mcnt makes all its money on drop
letters, or those sent for short distance,
but loses money on letters sent long
distt &c. Vr over star routes in thlnly
populated districts. Sometimes it costs
two or lhree dollars to deliver Il letter in
some remote districts, and testimony was
offered in The Star.ROute trials that sim
Gle letter over some Of the routes cost $75.
II is for The reason that local mail delivery
is SO much cheaper than delivery at
a distance, that number of private
mail companits that were started in
New York and Chicago were able to
transport letters and small packages at
lower rate than the Government.
They were quite successful until stopped
by the Post0llicc authorities. 1t is pos
sible that private companies could carry
the mails cheaper than the Government,
buI they could only do so by paving the
letter carriers and other employees lower
wages, At present letter carriers re-
ceive 5000 for their first years service,
$500 for the next year and $1,000 for
for every year thereafter. 1t is not too
much considering the hardness of the
work, but doubtless hundreds of men
could be found who would do it for

The matter OF Mary Anderson's en-
gagement la marriage, according to q
private letter received by prominent
member Of the theatrical colony at Long
Blanch, Is q very nice one. Her be-
trothud, II what Is said really has the
basis of truth that Is claimed for it, Is
neither New York plutocrat nor a
British nobleman, but the unassuming
son Of rich Kentucky manufac turer
of farming implements. He was boy
hood friend Of the actress and was as
siduous in his attentions to her while
still in his nouage. Her adoption of
the stage as u vocation separated them,
although they kept mp correspond
ence and he saw her whenever
opportunity offered. He went to Eu-
rope this spling and renewed his suit
there with ardor and, as 1t Is declared,
success. He Is still abroad. lt las been
agreed that the marriage is not to t,ke
p ace until Miss Anderson complet es
her career and relires. Miss Anderson
lived very quietly at Long Branch.
Her chief amusement was horseback
riding, and she could be seen as early
as In the morning dasliing along the
beautiful roads in the buck country
or OIL Cedal avenue. She seldom APP,
peared on the fashionable Ocean
drive. She was much admired and
liked by the theatrical colonists, al
though none of the other members OF
her numerous family, except her
brother Joe, were popular. She al.
ways had the most cordial relations
with her neighbor, Mrs. Albaugh, and
in series Of letters to that lady speaks
with the most ingenious delight of hcl
triumphs in England.
