OCEAN POSTOFSICES.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Mr. Sachse Sec
rotary of the imperial German postoffice.
in letter to the postmaster general dated
Berlin, March 6, proposes the establish
ment jointly the United States and Ger
many of sea postoffices on the vessels ply
ing between the United States and German
ports which carry the mails. Attention is
directed to the fact that much delay is oc-
casioned in the prompt delivery of the
mails, owing to the fact that they have to
be assorted and distributed after being
landed at the port of destination of
the steamer. The suggestion is
made that postal clerks sim
liar to railway mail clerks be employed
jointly by the two governments for the
distribution of the mail while crossing the
ocean, so that when the mail arrives at the
port of destination it will have been dis
tributed for all the large distributing
Offices either in Germany or the United
States. The cost of this service, Mr..
Sacbse computes, will be about $4,000 per
annum, which, to each country, viii be
about SD 500 per annUm. The matter is
now in the hands of the postmaster gen
eral, who is giving it consideration.
Superintendent Bell, of the foreign
mails service. who is familiar with the
laws, international and domestic, pertain
ing TO the service, expresses doubt as TO
whether the United States could, under
existing laws enter into such an agree
ment with the German government as is
suggested by Mr. Sachse. He is, however,
thoroughly in accord with the suggestion,
which he regards as an excellent one, and
thinks that if it can be put in to operation
it will greatly facilitate the prompt deliv-
cry of mail matter between the two coun-
tries and could, with like profit, lie en-
ployed between the United States, Great
Britain, France, Spain and Italy,

ABOUT DOCTORS, BILLS.


Many struggling family has all it can
do to keep the wolf from the door, without
being called upon to pay frequent and ex-
orbitant bills for medical advice and at
attendance.
True, the doctor is often necessary,
though expensive visitant OF the family
circle; nevertheless pure and well tested
remedies-like Warmers Safe Cure-kept
on hand for use when required will be
found a paying investment for every
household in the land.
Sickness is one of the legacies of life, and
yet every i'll that flesh is heir to has an an
tidote in the laboratory of nature. Hon.
II. H Warner, of Rochester, \. Y, presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce of that
city, was a few years ago stricken with
kidney disease, which the physicians de-
clared incurable. In this extremity a
friend recommended to him a vegetable
preparation now known throughout the
civilized world as Warmers Safe Cure.
He tried it and was quickly restored to
perfect health. The incident led him to
begin the manufacture Of the wonderful
preparation, and to make its merits known
in all tongues and among all peoples.
He has now laboratories and warehouses
in the United States not only, but in Can
ada, England. Germany, Austria, Aus
trailia and Burmah. His preparations
meet the requirements and effect the cure
of variety of diseates, and are all COM
pounded from medicinal plants of the
highest virtue.
Mr.. Warner is a man of affairs, of
wealth, culture and the highest standing
in his own city and throughout the state.
His character is the best guarantee of the
purity and excellence of his renowned
remedies, which may be found in every

THE ARMIES COURT MARTIAL

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-When the
Armes court martial met today counsel
for the accused endeavored without sue
cess to have the case dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. The first witness for the de-
Tense was then called. He was A. w.
Gully, a special policeman, who told how
Major Armes had been put out of the line
of procession and said that Captain
Bourke appeared to be excited but not in
toXicated.
Lieutenant Governor Woodbury., of Yer
mont, testified that he had known Armes
for twenty five years and bore witness to
his good character.
Edwin Smith testified that he was with
Armes in the Riggs House when Governor
Beaver appeared. He shook hands with
witness and conversation enSued. The
governor expressed regret that he had not
learned of the Inauguration day event I'M
til next day. When Armes pressed him for
a reply to his letter to the governor turned
away and seemed anxious to be rid of
Armes. The latter followed him, saying
that he wanted the matter settled, and as
the governor went on, extended his hand
over his shoulder and passed it under the
brim of the governors hat. He did not
seA any nose pulling.
Governor Beaver was the next witness.
He said that personally he had nothing to
do with Armes' removal from the parade.
Some one suggested General Ames be APP
pointed on his staff and not remembering
in the hurry Of the moment that General
Ames was dead he replied, appoint him.
1t appears that Armes had thus been APP
pointed by mistake for General Ames. He
had told Armes how it occurred and his
name was dropped from the staff. Major
Armes had appealed to him not to cast a
stigma upon his children by appointing
him to a staff position and then not allow
ing him to serve. He (the governor) had
expressed his sympathy and offered to
make out commission for him to show
his children in future.
a letter from Armes to witness dated
April 2 was put in evidence. In
it Armes requests the governor to
stop the court-martial proceedings as
they would result in his dismissal and he
preferred death to the loss of his COM
mission He added that the governor
stood in danger of becoming his murderer
In another letter, dated the day before
Yesterday he apologiSes for the Riggs
house episode The witness told of this
episode and said that he had laughingly
replied to Armes that he could not apollo
gise and that he had then felt hand
brush his face in rude way. He had in
a moment struck with his crutch at
Armes and the blows were dangerous
Armes' action was something in the
nature of both an assault and an insult
Witness took it to be an attempt to get
hold of his nose and was pretty indignant

From resident of the same house re-

had taken aconite and was dying The
letter began and ended with professions
of affection and assigned dependency as
the cause for his act. A telegram was sent

NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT

MINNEAPoLIs. Mimi, April 1S-The
Northwestern Miller today says; "The
-four output last week was the heaviest
since November, fourteen mills out of the
twenty-five contributing to this result.
The aggregate production for the week
was 100, 500 barrels, averaging 1880 bar
rels daily, against IS, 80 barrels the week
before, and 100, 200 barrels for the CORES
ponding time in 1883. There was thir-
teen mills in operation today. two or
three having dropped out of the
operative list while about an
equal number had resumed word. Today
the output for the week gives promise of
reaching 100 coo barrels or over, the water
power being very good. Fluctuations in
wheat values have had depressing influ-
euce on the flour trade and prices are 20c to
25c per barrel lower. There Is a great lack
of confidence among buyers and they ap-
pear to be unwilling to make purchases at
any time except as they are absolutely
forced to do So Nevertheless some
mills reported moderate sales, with
the demand rather on the increase.
One favorable sign TO which atten-
ton has been called is the request now
usually made that orders placed to be
promptly filled This is taken to indicate
that the middle men are getting their
stock down pretty low, and can not wait
long for the filling of orders. The
port trade is light, bakers being most in
demand though as a rule bids are lower
than the miller can afford TO accept, The
exports last week were sweiIed 10 quite
large proportions, but good part Of this
-four was on consignment The sc per
barrel advance in freight rates to Chicago
took effect Monday, tbut transit of
the Chicago lines now selling at sG91Ic is

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The mail car on the

registered mail for Cleveland and was
rifiing the contents in an empty freight
car between Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets when detected by watch
man. AS the Waterman looked into the
car the man jumped out through the rear
on the opposite side, and escaped. He had
opened about dozen registered letters
and succeeded in getting away with their
contents. The pouch, which had been cut
open, was brought back to the postoffice.
No guess can be made as to the amount of

crop of apples will be much smaller than

The strawberry crop Is hardly up 20 tho
average, yet much larger than that Of

years. The pear crop will average light

grape crop ia the west and south has been
favored with such mild winter that but
little injury has been inflicted and though
late frosts are not all gone nearly double
the weld Of last year is locked for. The
