The Letter Carriers Kick.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Objec-
tions have been raised by letter
carriers in several cities to require
ments concerning the purchase Of
carriers, uniforms. First Assistant
Postmaster General Jones speak
ing of the matter said: "No rule
respecting the carriers or substi-
tute uniforms, has been charged.
The purchase of these suits rests
with the carrier and postmaster,as
provided in section Glib, of the
postal laws and regulations. This
provides for inspection of uniforms
every six months by the post
master, and that no postmaster
shall require a new suit or any
article of it be purchased when
that one in use is in reasonably
good condition. When proper, he
may require any carrier to pur-
chase new uniform or part of one,
and the carrier must appear as
neat and tidy as the service will
permit. The only purpose the de-
partment has in contracting for
the uniforms, was desire to aid
carriers in securing better uniforms
at lower price. There is nothing
compulsory in it further than al
ready provided by postal laws.

Mark M. Stanley.

All that remained mortal of Mark Nj. Stanley, county surveyor, was con. signed to mother earth Monday after noon.
 Mir. Stanley died quite suddenly and unexpected. Last Thursday he was taken sick with chill, which seemed to yield to remedies, and on Saturday morning he went into Hinton s restau- rant for his meals, when he was again taken i'll, and retired 10 a bedroom in the rear. No body seemed to realize how ill he was until Sunday morning, when he was found to be unconscious A physician was called, but too late to do any good, as he was i'll a congesttd state. He was removed to the resi- dence of J. B. Moseley, where all at tention was paid him in vain. and his spirit returned to it's maker at 9 o'clock Sunday night.
 Mark M. Stanley was man of con- siderable ability, and the high compli- ment has been paid him that he was perfect i'll his work.
 He has relatives living in Illinois who have been notified of his demise.

 And in their flight the angels left a miniature edition in the shape of a lovely girl baby at the home of Editor E. l.. Vadakin and wife. Rather a disappointment, but then an editor is grateful for the smallest kinds of ia vors-or at least is expected to be.
 Even the magistrates were not for gotten. for Squme N. B. Nelson came up town Monday with a bland and childlike smile upon his countenance. He said it was girl.
 Stopping on their way, these white winged messengers paid their compi- ments to MT. and Mrs. MOneyhan in the form of dandy baby boy.
