JUST WHAT A LETTER is.
An Oficial Definition From the Post
Office Depa rtment.

An Oficial Definition From the Post
Office Depa rtment.
ruling was recently made by Postmas-
ter Coveny upon the question as to what
constitutes letter ''in its usual and ordi-
nary FORM" and 1t has just been confirmed
by a communication from Washington, says
the Boston Evening Transcript.
The ruling and it's confirmation were the
outcome of complaint recently made to
the postmaster by gentleman who de-
sired to send through the mails a sealed
roll properly stamped and directed to the
commissioner of patents at Ottawa. He
said that the roll contained plans and
drawings relative to patent He had
offered this roll to the clerk at the foreign
window. and, following out the rules Of
the office, the clerk refused to receive it.
When asked for reasons he was referred
to the postmaster. Col. Coveney gave a
decision to the effect that the term letter
is to be construed to mean and embrace
sealed packages consisting Of an ENVELOPE
of any size but fiat, as is the usual letter.
The objector did not think that this ruling
and definition of letter was correct, and
gave his opinion that letter was pack
age containing personal matter of no
value"
In the communication from Washington,
N. M. Brooks, the superintendent of for
eign mails says that 1.-The Canada office
and this department concur in the opinion
that the term letter in it's usual and ordi-
nary form is to be construed to embrace
sealed packages consisting OF an envelope
of any size, but Of the usual letter snaps,
and it's contents; but that rolls, or pack
age not enclosed in an envelope as the
word envelope is generally used, cannot
be considered to be "a letter In its usual

A BATCH OF QUEER NAMES.
The Eccentricitfes of Remarkable
West Xiraciuia Ea,1,ailx

The Eccentricitfes of n Remarkable
West Virginia Family.
Doubtless you have heard of some queer
names in your lifetime, but it is question
whether you have ever heard anything to
equal in quaint AMI curious fancy the
names bestowed upon the Snyder brood in
Alpena township, West Virginia. John F.
Dykman was talking about it at the Hoff-
man house last night al.
Il don't suppose" said Mr.. Dykman,
that there is another family in the United
States that goes to bed every night with
such wonderful array of titles. Old man
Snyder is very eccentric man. He made
a vow in 1861 that he would never shave nor
have his hair cut until the Southern Con-
federacy was established as a recognized
government 1t is needless for me to say
that he is still walking his whiskers,
and wears his hair down his back. Mrs.
Snyder is quiet, dried-up little woman,
without any will of her own, and con-
tent to grub along through life with two
calico dresses a year and hOminy and mo-
lasses three times a day. All the boys
and girls are shiftless and lazy, and more
afraid of work than of the ohills which
they get regularly every spring and rattle
the clap boards off the cabin. They live
about 20 miles from Alpena and the Alpena
people are glad of it,
But about their names"' queried one
of Mr.. Dykman's auditors.
Il am coming to that" replied Mr.. Dyk-
of the family first. The first child born to
the Snyders was a boy. He had no name
but boy or 'Hyar, you, until he was or
years old Then the fol-is had a christ
enin'--given so the neighbors might have a
chance to contribute something. Well, they
brought the youngster up to the minister,
and he was too young to resist, they
called him Linoleum Hippocrates Snyder.
There a younger boy also, without
name, and as the first christening had
proved a success in potatoes and apples,
second one was held the week following
I suppose if that little fellow had known
what they were going to call him, he would
have had fit right there and then. No.
was named Hydrocyanic Snyder.
1.-The family increased rapidly. When Lin
oleum was Is years old he had six brothers,
including Hydro, as they called him for
short and three sisters. The boys were
Neptune Aries Snyder, Oxygen Oliver Sny-
der, Chloroform Snyder, and Orchid Sny-
der. The girls were called Goosey Snyder
Swan Snyder, and Ann Cleopatra Snyder

and ordinary FORM sealed package In
the form of roll is therefore not entitled
to transmission in the mails exchanged bee
tween the United States and Canada, and
your office was correct in declining to re1
ceive the sealed roll mentioned"
Complaints of the kind made by tho
gentleman who wished to forward thi
sealed roll have been numerous, but thid
is the first time in the history Of the de4
partment that it has been called upon to
decide what constituted letter. BY thia
decision no sealed packages nor rolls will

boro by Judge Halt, the retiring
chairman. After reading the chair
mans report for the past year the
court took recess until one o'clock
in the afternoon in order to allow the
Republicans to hold a caucus to select
officers for the ensuing year. AT this
caucus j. M. Martin was nominated
for chairman ard w. H, Cox for
superintendent Of schools. No other
officers were selected IN caucus at the
afternoon session. "No quorum" pre-
vented the election of the gentlemen
selected and the court adjourned until
Tuesday without being able to proceed
with the election of officers. In the
meantime, however, considerable bus
mess was being transacted. Superin-
tendent of Schools Watts read his re-
port and made very good sho wing,
indeed. The report showed there
were seventy-five schools in the coun-
ty for the accommodation of 1902
school children. There are eighty'two
teachers who have received an average
compensation of 1920 for nety-nine
days work. The school property is
valued at $46,961 and of the $32, 157 .16
collected there is an unexpended bal
ance of $7,231,07.
The report of the commissioner of
the poor was read by Chairman Clark
and adopted.
After considerable debate, the salary
OF the chairman was fixed at $500 and
that of the superintendent of schools
at $3.50, reduction of 500 in the
former and $3.50 in the latter.
Tuesday afternoon the election of
officers was entered into and the eau
Gus nominees were elected. DR.. J. L.

candidate for chairman and was on

The defense OF MacDonald's at.
tornel's was that Mcdonald was
under species Of hypnot'c Influence
when he killed Patton and tAat the
influence was that pro luced by the
constant operation of the stronger
mind of Anderson Gray onsthe slayer
OF Patton.
The testimony of Macdonald was
peculiar. He refused to consider
himself murderer, although he un-
hesitatingly acknowledged that he
had killed Patton. In explaining
himself he could not, OF course, EN-
ploy the most common psychological
terms and could only express the bale
full influence and mental power Of Gray
by insisting that he Was made to dc
it.
No amount OF argument or cross
questioning could make him view thu
killing Of Patton as a result of
criminal motive in his mind. An,
feeling that he might have had sgains
Patton for the alleged assaults on Mrs
MacDonald's good name does not ap
pear real to him at the present time
and the whole transaction has dream
indefniteness about it.
The verdict of the jury is in harm

munity.
