Postal Cards Not counterfeited.
From the Mem YORK Star.

"What safeguard has the government
against tho counterfeiting Of postal cardsPi
was the query propounded TO ex-senator
AL Daggett, who holds the government COM
tract for the manufacture OF postal cards.
last night.
mot much, Iif any" no replied; beyond
the fact that they couldn't be disposed OF
in quantities sufficient to pay any one for
the plant and trouble, only dishonest
person would buy them knowing that they
were counterfeit, as they would know IL
they were sold below government rates,
and such a person could make more by
turning informer than by buying cut-rate
postal cards.
Merchants and business men who use
postal cards In any considerable NUMBER
buy them through the legitimate selling
places. and would look with suspicion upon
any one who tried to sell them outside. I
don't think that Uncle sam loses anything
on bogus postal cards or postage stamps,
though neither Of them would be very hard
to counterfeit. | don't see any reason why
could not manufacture S0O0,00 of cards
as well as the 4,000,000 my contract calls
for But what could | do with themi
couldn't get rid of enough Of them to pay
for the paper at such rates as could sell
them, and then l would be completely at
the mercy of every man to whom
sold card, as well as run the chances or
detection by the government agents. who
keep pretty sharp eyes on such matters
Postage stamps could be gotten rid Of =
little better than postal cards, but not in
quantities sufficiently large TO offer induce-
ments to counterfeiters. guess that the
government loses more by the people using
postage stamps the second time than they
do from counterfeits, and person who
| soaks stamp Off an envelope and cleans it
works pretty hard to rob the government
| of cents
The number of postal cards issued last
year was about 45S,000,000, and Senator
| Daggett says that the increase each year
runs from 10 to IA per cent. His contract
| commenced Dec l. under Postmaster Gem
eral Wanamaker's ruling, though the
contractor was ready Sept. toshll ths
/ orders.

Storms and Disasters at Sea,

San FRANCISCO, April 13.-The steam
ship Alameda of the Oceanic line, com
mander H. J. Morse, arrived here at 8
o'clock this morning, having had one of
the toughest trips in her experience, en-
countering gales and heavy seas until
reaching Honolulu. She stopped At Fal-
vile island, in the Samoan group, at six
o'clock on Monday morning, March 24th,
where she found the American schooner
Equator with the mails and tidings from
the American war ships wrecked at Apia.
Commander Morse, upon learning Of
the disaster to the American ships, at
once sailed for Apia. On the way she
met the mail cutter and received the
German mails from Apia. She took on
board thirty-six wounded seamen. She
also took Lieut. Ripley and Surgeon Cor
deiro, making AZ from wrecked vessels.
The steamship reached Honolulu April
9th, leaving Lieut.. Ripley and 20 wound
ed seamen to come on the Honolulu
steamer.
The Alameda brought the following
cadets from the man-of-war Trenton
r. Wells, w. s. Clarke, G. w. Logan and
r. Jackson, besides the naval cadets II.

The Fair Grounds.

The LEADER has opposed the location
of fair grounds on the West side of the
river. The soil being adobe, it was I'M
fit for the track; the cost of tolls for
crossing the river involved much expense,
besides the danger of crossing the track
and the giving fares to railroad, which
might be paid to livery men and team
sters and SO kept in the town, furnished
other reasons which seemed to us suf-
ficient.
1t became evident, however, some days
since that the programme first deter
mined upon was to be carried out; and
we submit to the inevitable, trusting that
the railroad, the toll bridge company and
all others interested in the West side
may show their appreciation by liberal
and generous subscriptions.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life Of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is grnte-
fully blessed. Hence it is that so much
is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use of the Great Alternative
and Tonic. If you are troubled with any
disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, OF
long or short standing you will surely
find relief by use Of the Electric Bitters

"How to Get Strong and How to Stay
So" was the title of little book that a
few years ago was very popular with
people interested In physical culture.
But book which should tell US how to
stay young would be still more popular.
Saying nothing about the fabled "Foun-
tain of YOUTH" which Ponce de
Leon searched for, there is no question
that much may be done to stay young.
The observance of sound and sensible
hygienic rules, the use Of suitable and
wholesome food, and keeping regular
hours, will do much to preserve youth.
One Of the greatest helps is to avoid
worry. When you travel, the best way
to avoid all worry is to take "The Bur
lington." Its smooth tracks, its luxurious
sleeping cars, and the delicious meals
furnished on its peerless dining cars,
make "worry" absolutely impossible.
For full information as to all its advant-
ages, write to Phil Gibson, Agent, c. B.

danger. The only way OF getting into
the Oklahoma country is by fording the
