A special dispatch to the Boston

postmasters arc in scFape. Warrants
for their arrest were given this after
noon to United States Marshal Bates

Consideration among tho accused and
their bondsmen. The warrants are
based upon violation Of the postal
law by selling stamps on credit. Why
they should be willing TO do this
needs a word of explanation, Post
masters of the smaller country offices
are paid salaries based on stamps can
celed. Their pay is one cent for can
ceiling the one cent stamp used on
circulars, Hence their pay equals the
value of the stamps received from the
government and charged against their
accounts, If they can get anything
additional for looking after the send.

clear gain. Business firms sending

The circulars to the postmasters, re,
questing them to mail them and send
their bill. As his pay allowance fol-
cancellation covers the cost of the

taking no risk, and he stamps and

bill. If new to the scheme he is likely

Eclipse OF she suun.

N, o. Times-Democrat.
The total eclipse Of the sun on
Dec. % next, as has been announced,
will be observed by United States
expedition to West Africa, which is
to sail in a day or two from New
York on the United States ship PEN
sacola. The total eclipse will be
visible in long, narrow path. This
path is about 5000 miles long, only
100 miles wide, and extends nearly
its entire distance over the ocean. 1t
begins in the Caribbean Sea and skirts
along the northern coast Of South
America, being Visible at only one
point there French Guinea. It then
moves eastward until it strikes Africa,
few hundred miles south of the
Congo river, There are no islands in
the Atlantic from which it could be
viewed, and Africa was selected as
the best point for work. An expedi-
tion will go from the Lick Observa-
tory in California to French Guinea
and view tho eclipse there, Though
they will not have TO 60 SO far and be
subjected to as many dangers as the
government expedition, they will
labor under the disadvantage of not
having quite as much time to WOW
the eclipse, aud also Of seeing it in
the morning before the sun has risen
high in the heavens. The expedition
will be viewed by the government ex-
pedition from Mlxima, on the Quanzo
river, about 100 miles southeast Of ST.
Paul do Losnda. 1t is a pretty bad
place, The country to the south is
inhabited by eannibals, the Quissa-
mos, and the river is full ofcroCodiles,
so full, in fact, that the native wo-
men, who wash their clothes in the

diles fFom eating them up while they

the authorities were unable TO settle,

proclamation appeals to the Wongs Of

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 3o.-Tho
rare ceremony of divoroing a woman
from her dead husband according TO
the old requirements Of the Mosaic
law took place at B'Nai Jacob syna-
gogue in this city yesterday,
The woman was Mrs, j. Levin,
whose husband, peddler, was killed
on the 97th Of last June by two
tramps. She had no children and the
old law of the orthodox Jews is that
in such a case the dead macs eldest
brother is to marry the woman and
raise up children in the name Of the
deceased.
Mrs, Levin, however, did not desire
to marry Israel Moses Levin, her hus-
bands brother, nor he her. She had,
therefore, 10 be divorced, aud as there
were not in Louisville two orthodox
Jewish rabbls who were required to
perform this ceremony, they were
brought here from Chicago.
The divorce took place in the syna-
gogue, In the presence Of small con,
gregation that had thriftily been
charged % cents a head.

The Turncr-Mnler ~Junketing Tour
Much of n Mystery.

The Turncr-Niller Junketing Tour
Much of n Mystery.
Commissioner Anderson says that he
knows nothing about the junketing tour of
William Turner aud Joe Miller which is
being made at Douglas county's expense.
Every other member says just the same
thing.
Mount wants the responsibility shifted
onto Auderson's shoulders, but Anderson
declares very emphatically that the matter
was arranged during his absence; that he
had nothing TO do with it; has no knowledge
of any action ever having been taken Off
cially, authorizing the trip, and objects to
being abused for other peoples conduct.
After requesting tho reporter to set him
right in this matter, Mr.. Anderson related
quite freely and at considerable length the
general unsatisfactory condition OF county
affairs. He thinks that some things are
being conducted very loosely and need
remedying.
'How about that vault stealg" asked the
II don't know that there ever was q steal"
"Why don't the board do something to-
wards settling it,"
"What is there for us to dol"
WASN'T there a committee 10 employ OK
perts and have estimates made on the cost Of
the b%alconyi'
Eyes, but the chairman has never called n
meeting.r
"But Mr.. O'Keeffe has had an expert en-.
gagged by himself make a report. Why don't
you do likewisep
"Who was O'Keeffe's mani What is hei
What's his businessl | don't know that he
ever made a report. 1t has never been
shown to me-"
With this much Of an explanation Mr..
Anderson directed attention. to other
features. He wanted to be told about Sheriff
Coburn's management of the Jail, County
Clerk Roche's official conduct, and wound up
by declaring that the new hospital is u
greater outrage than any community ever
had perpetrated upon it.
"And 1t will be worse yet" he continued,
'if the institution after being completed is
managed as they nave been talking about
having it managed. The cost will not he less
than 81 1000 a year,.
When questioned about the county drug
store, Mr.. Anderson's reply was to the
effect that he never had anything to DO with
that concern. at was running when / en-
tered the service of the county, it is q scheme
Of O'Keeffe's, and is under his supervision.
You can say, however, hat we are paying
$3.50 a month to a physician, when the law
SAYS plainly we shall not pay more than $500
q year"
The fact that there is no means of keeping
a check on the county treasurer is disturb
ing Mr.. Andcrson's mind moro or less, and
he is very anxious to have a system Of tripli-
cate receipts adopted.
