glee. Swings, croquet, football,
grace hoops, bean bags, burro and

with one accord, all sought their
dinner baskets, and soon the
ground was dotted with groups
doing justice to spreads that would
delight all epicure.
During the afternoon a slight
shower caused a scamper, but did
no damage. As the day drew to
a close the tired but happy picnic
ers sought their respective con

them
Determined to keep it up, a hap
Ply crowd assembled at the Town

enjoyed by all who participated.

was not enough, a grand hyrotech-
nicaI display together with two

THE NEW POSTAL LAWS.
Some Interesting Facts Connected with
the Change TO Go into Effect TO-mor-


Some Interesting Facts Connected with
the Change TO Go into Effect TO-mor-
row.
The new postal laws go into effect to-
morrow. The reduction to be made will
be great saving. AS the denomination
of the stamp is not to be lower than the
present law requires for a letter weighing
half an ounce, and as the great majority
Of letters mailed do not exceed that
amount, the saving will not be so great as
was caused by the reduction from 10 >
cents for half an ounce. made in 1888.
After tomorrow the rate Of postage on
all letters and other first-class mani mat
ter will be cents for each ounce or frac-
tiOn thereof to any point within the Uni
ted States or the British possessions to
the north.
The unit of postage IS raised from a half
ounce to an ounce, the present rate being
cents for each half ounce or fraction
thereof. Drop-letters in cities where the
free delivery service Is in operation will
be charged at the rate charged for matter
sent TO a distance; that is ? cents an
ounce.
Letters mailed in country offices for lO-
cal delivery, where there is no free
distribution service, and in which the
letters are simply TO be placed in boxes,
may be sent for 1 cent for each ounce, the
present rate being / cent for each half
ounce.
After tomorrow POstmasters Of the third
class--that is, those whose salaries are
less than 81 900 and more than 81 600 per
annum-will be allowed a certain sum
with which to pay rent for their offices,
the amount to be liked by the Postmaster
General.
The newspapers mailed from the Office
OF publication will be sent tor I cent per
pound, instead OF cents, as at present.
The same law applies to news dealers. Ii
Is also provided that marked copies OF the
papers may be sent out at the same rate
by publishers and newsdealers, a privi-
lege they have heretofore been denied.
One provision Of the new law It Is not
supposed will 20 into effect for some time.
as the Postmaster General has taken no
steps TO enable il 10 be carried out. The
bill authorizes the Postmaster General 20
prepare a special stamp Of the value OF 10

regular postage, shall insure the delivery
Of the letter, IL addressed 10 any town or
village OF over 1000 population, immedi-
ately upon Its arrival, atany time between
Z p. IN. and midnight. The pay Of the
special messengers employed 10 deliver
