List of Postohlces at which Letters May
BE Specially Delivered Under the New
Law.
Section 8 of the Postofice Appropriation
Act approved March ). 1885, provides that
"a special stamp of the valuation of ten
cents may be provided and issued, when
ever deemed advisable or eXpedient, in such
form and bearing such device as may meet
the approval of the Postmaster General,
which, when attached to a letter, in addition
to the lawful postage thereon, the delivery
of which is to be at a free-delivery Office, or
at any city. town, or village containing a
population Of four thousand or over, ac-
cordmg to the Federal census, shall be re-
garded as emitting such letter to immediate
delivery within the carrier limit of any free
delivery Office, which may be designated
by the Postmaster General as a special
delivery Office or within one mile of the
postof'ice at any other office coming within
the provisions of this section which may in
like manner be designated as a special
d~eliveryOtiice."
It has accordingly been decided to intro
duce the sp~ccial-delivery system on the first
of October, 1885, at all the pOstottices at
which it is permitted by the law, viz +:
Those at which the free-delivery system is
in operation, and those in cities and towns
having a population of 1000 or over, as
shown by the last Federal census. A list of
the special delivery offices is appended:

The following is a description of tho
special delivery stamp prepared to carry out
the law, viz: A line engraving Oh steel,
oblong in form; dimensions 10. 16 by 1 7.16
inches; color dark blue. Design: On the
left an arched panel bearing the figure of a
mail messenger boy on a run. and sur
mounted by the words United States;;" OH
the right, an oblong tablet, ornamented with
a wreath of oak and laurel surrounding the
words Secures immediate delivery at a
special.delivery Office" Across the top of
the tablet is the legend Especial Postal De-
livery" and at the bottom the words ''Ten
CENTS" separated by a small shield bearing
the numeral 80"
They are to be sold by postmasters in any
required amount, and to any person who
may apply for them, but they can be used
only for the purpose of securing the imme-
diatc delivery of letters addressed to and re-
ceived in the mails at any of the offices
designated as special. delivery offices.
Registered letters will be entitled to inn
mediate delivery, the same as ordinary let
tiers, when bearing a special-delivery stamp
in addition to the full! postage and registry
fee required by the law and the regulations.
A letter bearing a special delivery stamp,
in addition to the lawful postage, may be
mailed at any postoffice in the country, but
it will not be entitled to an immediate de-
livery by a messenger when addressed to a
postofice to which the special-delivery sys-
TEN has not been extended.

Coleman s. Adams, of tho birmingham.
Mass. Savings Bank, q Defaulter to the
Extent of 6228.
BosToN- September 29.-The recent sui
eide of Coleman S. Adams in the vault of
the birmingham Savings Bank, of which
he was treasurer, will be generally remem-
bered. The act was attributed to the wound
inflicted upon the sensitive nature of an
honorable man in a position of trust whose
business methods had been officially char
acterlzed as careless and inexact. The com-
munity held him guiltless of any worse Of
Tense and nothing but pity followed him to
his grave. Yesterday afternoon the start
ling announcement was made that the in.
vestigation by the bank examiners into the
affairs of the bank shows that Mr.. Adams
was a defaultor to the extent of 1928, 600.
The examiners made application to the SUI
| preme Court for al injunction restraining
the bank from continuing business until its
exact condition shall have been made
known.
The work of examining the books of the
bank showed that Treasurer Adams, in
making up his accounts, used a memoran-
| dunn book, but failed to carry forward from
it the correct amounts. Thu result is a de-
ficiency of $22S, 600, which amount is made
up by charging the depositors with larger
sums than We're actually paid; with credit
ing depositOrs with less sums than actually
paid, and in emitting to credit in the de-
positors' account dividends declared.
Bank Examiner Getchell did not wish to
state whether any facts had come to light
which showed that the treasurer had appro.
priated the sum to his W use. Although
the deficit reaches the sum of S22S, OCO, the
actual loss to stockholders will not exceed
Commissioner Gctclell thinks, the sum Of
$155, 900.

gllsli Notions. \

EllBn Notions. .
Through her paternal grandmolheE
Mime. Balsa, the Queen of Scrvia is do
scended from one of the most remark
able families IN Europe. Historical re.
search has proved beyond doubt tina:
the Roumanian Balsas arc direct dc.
scendants of the Scrvian Balsas. who
were in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries ruling Princes of Montenegro
and North Albania. The Servian Bal
sas were a branch of the Provcncal
family of Les Baulx. OF which several
members accompanied Charles ]. OF
Anjou to the conquest of Naples, and
established themselves there under the
name OF Balza. whilst some Of their nu-
mcrous representatives crossed tho
Adriatic to Servia, where at that time
Helene de Courtnay was the Queen.
The Provcncal Baulx were rre-cml-
nently distinguished for love of poetry
Some were themselves poets. and many
a troubadour has sung Of the
wit and beauty of their won
and of the generosity and valor
of their men. Adelais dc DsulS
was sung by the famous %troubadour
Pierre Vidal. and Laurette and Pha-
nette de Baulx inspired some OF the
most beautiful of the troubadour lays
Pctrarch's Laura was herself a descend
ant on one side at least OF the
Provencal Les Baulx. The picturesque
ruins of the old Castle !e Baulx arc
still to be seen in the neighborhood OF
A.lcs.
Queen Natalie of Servia has inherit
cd, with the traditional beauty OF inc
Les Baulx women, their wit and tie5
religious fcrvor. Her Majesty has liau
the good fortune to be educated by Ill
English lady, and. as u consequence
speaks English tluently, and has lm n

The mineralogists and biologists
have offered many clever theories to ac-
count for the splendor of the opal, but
no one has completely satisfied every
body, and perhaps never will. 1t is
conjectured that it is due either to the
presence of water in its composition or
to the disintcgration of the laminn or
layers of stone, but even this is not cer-
tainly known. The Turks believe that
the gem is Of celestial origin, and thus
escape ali difficulties at once.

It is anticipated that the special letter
delivery system will make things lively
for Congressman at Washington this
winter. Many of the constituents who
write letters to their member will put
special delivery stamps on their missives
and Congressman will be called on at
ali hours Of the day and night, up to
midnight, to receive these letters in per-
son and receipt for them. They will
likely find out that the new system is
only too successful.
