Benjamin Franklin and Colonial
post-OHiCes.

b.4lamiu Franklin, who was made
deputy postmaster general for the
colonies in 1885, was active in spread
ing and facilitating postal communica-
ton. In 1860 he astOnished the people
by his daring project to run stage
wagon for carrying the mails from
Philadelphia 20 Boston once q week.
These wagons were TO start from each
city on Monday morning and To- reach
their destinations on Saturday even
ing.
AS years passed the mail service was
greatly improved in this country aud
IN Great Britain; but the following eE-
tract from Mr. Robert Mackenzie's

important and thrilling public and
national intelligence was sent through
England during the first third OF this

DEALT CUT DEATH.
A Destructive Cyclone Mangles
Many Persons in Jefferson
County, Kansas.
Ten Killed Outright, Three Fa-
tally, and Many Others Sc
riously Injured.

PERRY, Kan, Ju le 23.-The most de-
structive and death-dealing cyclone
that ever visited Eastern Kansas passed
through Williamstown and the sur
rounding country in Jefferson county
last night. 1t travelled southeast, and
took in a scope of country half mile
wide and about six miles long. Not a
house, barn or tree was left standing in
its path. 1t was accompanied by a
terrible rain storm and midnight
darkness. Eleven dead bodies have
so far been discovered, and it
is known that at least five
more were killed. The dead: l.. T..
Evans. Emery Evans. Mrs. John Hutch
lnson, Samuel Kincaide. Clara Kincalde,
Sadie Kincaide, Walter Kincaide. Eva
Kincaide, William Kincaide, Samuel
Stewart. Their bodies are all horribly
mangled. Mrs. Hutchinson's arms and
limbs were found in tree a mile from
the house. Eva Klncaide's head was
severed from her body. Three persons
are known to be fatally injured, and
many others seriously. No more dead
bodies were recovered. Those who
were killed last night were buried to-
day. An historic landmark was de-
stfoyed by the cyclone. 1t was the old
stone house on the bluffs OF the kaw
river, once owned and occupied by John
Brown.

RULES REVOKED.
Quarantine Regulations to Be En-.
forced So as Not to Delay YES
sells Unnecessarily.
Establishment OF a National Board
of Health to Come Before
Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-CarliSle has
instructed all treasury officials and con-
sular officers, THAT the quarantln e
regulations of the treasury department
approved by the secretary of the treas
ury Feb. "a, 1898, and April 4, 1893, with
subsequent circular additions and
amendments, ,supersede all circular quar-
antine regulations previously issued !;
and all quarantine circulars issued
prior to the dates of approval of said
regulations are hereby revoked. Col
lectors of customs, in enforcing the pro-
visions of the quarantine laws and regu-
latlons denying entry to vessels, or de-
tanning the same, are directed to report
Immediately by telegraph to the super
vising surgeon general of the marine
hospital service the reasons therefor
and other necessary information. While
the quarantine rules cannot be relaxed,
no unnecessary detention or delay TO
vessels should be caused In enforcing
the same, as it is the purpose OF the de-
partment to facilitate commerce in every
proper way consistent with the public
safety"
One of the first matters of Importance
that will be presented to the next con-
gress will be bill already framed pro-
viding for the establishment OF ma
tional board of health, with headquar-
tears in this city. The board, as devised
by the projectors, is to cooperate with
the state and municipal authorities in
the matter of sanitary Improvement, is
to be presided over by physician,
whose tenure shall only be terminated
by death, misdemeanor or inefficiency
its executive committee will be chosen
by the president of the United States
from the state and territorial repre-
sentatives, and, in addition, Is to
have as members the surgeons general
of the army, navy and marine hospital
service. The body of the national board
is to consist of representative of the
medical profession of each state and
territory, appointed by the president Oh
account of his special fitness for the
duties OF his position and for term of
not less than six years. This national
board is to meet in this city not oftener
than once 10 two years, unless specially
convened In some great emergency. The
boldest feature of the proposition, and
the one likely to result in serious con-
troversy, Is that which bestows upon
the board legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutivs powers of an independent char
acter.

A Careful Estimate of His Wealth

SAN FRANCISCO. June Ex-senator
Stantord's funeral will be held Satur-
day afternoon from the university
chapel at Palo Alto. Rev. r. G. Foule,
of Grace church; Dr.. Stebbins, of the
First Unitarian, and other clergymen
will take part in the services. There
will be elaborate music. ana the floral
offerings will be something magnificent.
After the services the remains will be
taken to the marble mauSoleum con-
structed OIL the grounds at Menlo a
short time after the death of young
Stanford. few years ago. 1t is expect
ed that thousands will witness the cere-
monies.
A careful estimate of the late Senator
Stanford's property indicates that its
value is somewhere in the neighborhood
of SS5,000,000. The estate consists In
large part of one-fourth share in the
Pacific improvement company the legal
association through which Stanford,
Huntington. Hopkins, Searles and
Crocker own and control the Southern
Pacific company. Its nominal assets in
the way Of railroad property amount to
s210,000,000, but the actual value is
about $50 per share, or S42,000,000, of
which Stanford's holdings are worth
S10.000,000. Besides this the Pacific
Improvement company owns large
block of Southern Pacific bonds,
ON which the interest is 5 and
per cent annually. otanford's share
of these bonds is said to be 14,000, 900
net. From the stocks and bonds alone
the Stanford estate is said to receive
an income of nearly S1.00o,000 annually.
Then there is the San Francisco cable
road property, that pays 10 per cent
annually on $12, 2,000 900, of which Stand
ford's share is $3,O0O,000. He leaves
100000 acres of land, including the
great Vina vineyard. the Palo Alto
property, the stock farm and other real
estate worth S600O,000, and other per
sonal property worth Sl,000,000, making
the aggregate value Of the estate about
S35, 5,000,0 900, on which there is an annual
income of perhaps S3,000,000.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Vlce Presi-
dent Stevenson and Sergeant-atArms
Valentines of the senate, have reached
the conclusion that it would be impos-
sible to send a delegation from the East
in time to be present at Senator Stan
ford's funeral. which is to take place at
Menlo Park, California, on Saturday
next, Senator Mitchell. of Oregon, and
Gen. Stephen w. White. of CalifOrnia,

occasion. Similar action, it is under

more than he receives from his products.
p. McKenna and d. Harrington took
part in the discussion. The next paper
