A Napoleon Lady Graduates,

By the Ft. Wayne Sentinel we learn that
Mrs. Rebecca Steadman McCann graduated
last week from the Ft. Wayne College of
Medicine and is now an M. D. The class
was one of twelve and the program rendered
was very interesting. At its close Mrs.
McCann was presented with handsome
basket of flowers, by DR.. Buchanan, from the
G. A. r. posts of the city, which was ac-
knowledged by the recipient in feeling
and gracious manner.
Mrs. McCann is well-known hereabouts
having been teacher in our schools for a

who rejoice in her success.

An article has been going the rounds that
it was criminal offense to mail a dunning
letter on a postal card. An editor wrote to
the first Assistant Postmaster General re-
Gently and received the following reply, Civ
ing the decision of Judge Thayer. Dec. IA,
1889, on the wording of postal that
was mailable and one that was not.
The mailable one read: "Please call
and settle account, which is long past due,
and for which our collector has called sew
eral times. and oblige." The one decided
unavailable: "You owe me $3.50; we have
called several times for same. If not
paid at once we will place with our law agen-
cy for collection" Postal cards are not
mailable if they contain language of a
threatening character.

Brought Him to Time.

Two ladies who are engaged in the millin-

novel but successful scheme to collect a
bill from travelling salesman who owed
them $52, but declared he would never pay
it. After the fellow had retired for the night

to his room, or rather sent an officer, to serve
it, The officer gained admission, seized the
wearing apparel and the de3tor was compell-
ed to pay up before he could get out of bed
or town.

arrived in this city yesterday Mr.
Floyd used to DO a Democrat and was
a state senator OF that faith. He saw
the error OF his way and reformed. The
Republicans OF Kanawha ran him Tor

through with n whiri. In the !egisia'
ture ne wasa leader and one OF the most
useful OF members.
1--WE are all right down our way,
said Mr.. Floyd to an INTELLIdRNcRR re-
porter. "You saw how We cleaned them
out in Kanawha for superintendent OF
schools. That is always partisan po'
ltical fight with US. We beat them by
more than 200. In the city, which is
Democratic, we whipped them by more
than u hundred, So you see that the
Republican party is not dead in Kama
wha county. 1t isn't dead anywhere,
This state will yet he Republican, and
then good.by to the Democracy in West
Virginia"

men, accompanied the tourists as far US
Claysville, Pa, nine miles this side Of

They intended to ride as far as Green's

They used cushion tired wheels there.
