WAsmSGTON, March 27.-The attention
of the Postmaster General has been called
TO statements made regarding 4 fraud prac-
ticed upon the Government mails through
the Canadian treaty, aud he has taken
action upon it. 1t has been a practice with
q very large number of merchants and
Others to ship goods to Canada to be mailed
there, addressed to persons in this country,
with view TO evade the higher rates OF
postage applicable 10 the goods shipped in
:he domestic mails of the United States.
The Postmaster General says that the for
warding of such packages from Canada
being an obvious error" under the articles
of the postal convention in force between
Canada and the United States, that post
masters shall rate up such packages sent
from Canada at the postage they would
have to pay ii they were mailed in this
country

Sad Case of Destitution.

CIScISNATI, March ga sad case of
destituticn was brought TO light through
the summoning of Coroner Rendigs TO the
tenement house at Is Moore street, where,
in apartments in the upper part of the
building, lived Valentine Mabel, laborer
with his wife and six children. On bed
in squallid, ill-smelling room lay the dead
body of the husband and father of the
afflicted family. By his side was his in
valid wife, while on improvised cots about
the room were the six children of the dead
man and his stricken wife. After period
of illness death had early in the day come
to the relief of the unfortunate man. His
wife, suffering from severe attack Of
typhoid fever, and with scarcely dollar at
her command, had been unable to have the
corpse of her departed husband removed,
but lay rolling and tossing on the couch
alongside of the dead body.
The children, the youngest of which is
but six months of age, had, in consequence,
been forced 10 do the best for themselves
that their limited means and circumstances
allowed. On the whole the case was a most
extraordinary exempliication of poverty
and privation in their most hideous form.

Arrangements at Toledo.

J. TOLEDO, March q. - Definite arrange
I ments for the funeral of Chief Justice
Waite in Toledo have not been made be-
yond the decision that the ceremonies will
be held on Thursday sometime. The re-
mains will arrive on Thursday morning at
10 o'clock, accompanied by the Associate
Justices of the United States Supreme
Court and committees from the two
Houses of Congress. Until the desire
of the State and municipal authorities can
be ascertained, the funeral in its details
cannot he arranged. But it will be as pri-
vate as possible, and will take place some
time on Thursday. This afternoon the To-
ledo Press Club will meet to arrange for
taking care OF whatever visiting newspaper
men may be in the city on Thursday, and
tonight a joint meeting of the two
branches of the City Council will be held
TO take proper action. The remains will
probably lie in Trinity Church for a brief
time to allow friends to interview them.
Nothing will prevent thousans of friends of
the honored Chief Justice from Northwest
ern Ohio being in the city on that day, for
the deceased was universally loved by the
people Of Northwestern Ohio with feeling
which was akin TO reverence. Mrs. Waite
will arrive in the city on Wednesday even
ing. Further details will be announced to-
morrow.

Queer Names in the Northwest.

There is "wealth" of queer names
all through this region. 1t is but little
while since we passed Rat Portage, and
now we come to Medicine Hat. the first
of which names could not get the origin
of, but the second l did, and common
place enough [ found it. Medicine Cap
was an old medicine man of the Black
foot tribe of Indians, who had his wig
wan on the site of the present town, and
SO when the town was laid out they
''honored' him by calling it Medicine
Hat, thinking. probably, that that
was higher toned than 'scap."
Apropos of the change of names, / see
that the Ottawa parliament recently
changed the name of Boundary peak to
Pope's peak, in honor of the minister of
railways: Mount Hermit to Mount Tup-
per, after the minister of finance; Mount
Carroll to Mount Macdonald, after the
premier; Mount Cunningham to Mount
Mackenzie, after the ex-premier, and an
unnamed mountain TO be called Mount
Macpherson. Boundary peak and Mount
Hermit should never have been changed,
as their titles are significant and possess
a certain degree of poetry; but the others
meant nothing then. and are no heavier
now. Inc people now Hcnored are Salu TO

inception and execution of the Canadian
Pacific railway. | should prefer to see
such names as Rat Portage, Kicking
Horse and similar monstrosities changed
to something understandable. And then
think of such name as Illicillwaet!

such a name as that What then could

Obituary.

Died. on the morning of the 29th OF
December, 1887, at his residence near
Cone, Putnam County, Fla, Hon. Nc
Keen Carleton.
Mr.. Carlton was born in Thomas
County, Ga, December 18th, 1925.
He was left an orphan at the age OF
fourteen years, without money or educa-
ton, to fight the battles OF life. But
having the will and desire for knowledge,
with industry and excellent memory,
he was successful in acquiring large
share of general information. He came
to Florida in 1916, at the age of twenty
one years, and on August 3rd, 1S47, was
married to Miss Ann Morrison, which
union was blessed with seven sons and
three daughters, who, with his wife and
many relatives and friends, survive to
mourn his loss. He was a member of
the Catholic Church and decided Chris
tan.
In 1885 he was unanimously nomi-
mated for the legislature by the Repub-
lican party, and was elected to seat by
an overwhelming majority, which posi-
ton he filed with credit to himself and
interest to his State and county. II .
social and moral qualities we've of the
highest character. Candor was one of
his prominent traits. He was transpar-
| ent and unselfish in every sense of the
word, and was always ready to re-
| spond to the call of charity. There
seemed to be no service within his power
that he would not willingly perform to
render aid to the poor and needy to the
full extent of his ability. The wife sus-
tains the loss of an affectionate husband
the children of kind father, and the
community of generous neighbor. But
let us all agree. And may God help us
all to meet him on the happy COLDER
shore, where parting shall be no more.
