BOUGHT GOODS WITH STAMPS.
Why Change Was Made in the Method of
Computing Postmasters' Salaries.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., July 14.-A good
many of the fourth-class postmasters who
are being appointed by the hundred by the
Postmaster-general are surprised when, on
taking Office, they find that they must count
all the letters they send away by each mail.
Il had always supposed" said one of them.
that we received our pay according to the
number of stamps sold; but / find that it is
not on that basis that our salaries are COM
puted, but on the basis Of the amount of
matter mailed, so that before every mail we
must count the letters to make up our re-
port. 1t was not always thus.
Ihe change was made for an odd reason.
When the fourth-class postmasters were
paid according to the number of stamps
sold. the officials at Washington were some-
times surprised at the unprecedented
growth of an office. Soon the growth be-
came general, and it was matter of sur
stamps at the small offices increased. At
the same time terrible falling off was
noticed in the sale of stamps in New York.

covered. Most of the fourth class postmas-
ters are country store-keepers. The houses

Celebration of the One-Hundreth Annivers-
ary at New York-Letters of Regret.
NEW YORK, July 14.-The French citizens
of New York and vicinity to-day began the
one-hundreth anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile with grand reception and concert
at Washington Park. The large hall of the
park had been especially decorated with
profusion of tri-colOred flags and banners.
The exercises opened with an official re-
ception to sul-general Bruwaert. in
which NJ. Henry Maillard, president of the
French centennial committee. made the
address of welcome. Letters of regret were
read from President CarnOt, Ferdinand De
Lesseps, FIR. Coudert, Mayor Grant, Gov.
Hill. Grover Cleveland, President Harrison
and Vice-president Morton. Ex-President
Cleveland wrote: IL send the following
sentiment: The friendship which has so
long existed between the United States and
their common devotion to the doctrine of
the popular rule. and by the mission they
have undertaken to demonstrate the tit
ness of mankind for sell. government"
President Harrison's letter was: "May
the homes of France be perpetually filled
with prosperity, contentment and peace.
May the French republic ever live in honor
among the nations and in the steadfast love
of its citizens"
Levi p. Morton's letter read: IL have the

it is couched. You are quite correct in as

say that my affection for France was an
hereditary sentiment, and the kindness
which received during my official resi-
dence in Paris not only served to create
many warm friendships. but to increase

PARIS, July 4-The one-hundredth anni-
versary of the fall of the Bastile was cele-
brated to-day by public meetings and fetes
in Paris and throughout the provinces.
Transparencies bearing representations of
General Boulanger were displayed in the
windows of the League of Patriots, and at
other Boulangist resorts These devices
called forth few hootingg from passers-by,
but, with the exception of the disorders in
the Place de la Concorde, and at the office
of La Presse, the day passed off without
disturbances of any kind.
A band of roughs to-day gathered at the
Imodas cafe, on the Rue ROyale, and de-
manded that flag be hoisted. An Italian
flag was displayed, which so enraged the
mob that they tore it down and trampled
it in the mud. They then made an attack
on the cafe and completely wrecked tho
place. The fireworks at the fetes this
evening were somewhat marred by, rain.
but the Place de la Concorde, the Champs
Elyse, the Bois de Boulogne, the Eiffel tow
er and the Trocadero Palace were blaze of
light. At midnight thousands of persons
thronged the Bois de Boulogne, and there
was no sign of any abatement Of the fun.

the cars. In an instant the brake chain
broke. and fell on the rapidly y-revolving
front axle. Becoming fastened to it, the
flooring of the car was knocked out and
panic ensued, every body yelling to Jump"
