An Antitiief Muilbox,

Mr.. Alexander Campbell, house steward
to the Duke OF Westminster, has patented
an improved letter box which is intended
to prevent the abstraction OF letters, either
from pillar boxes in the streets or from
the boxes attached to the doors of houses
or offices. The box contains an upper cham
Der In which the letter Is deposited and a
lower chamber into which 1t ultimately
falls. The slit for admitting letters into
the upper chamber is covered by flap,
which has to be raised In order to insert
them, and the flap is connected by levers
with the floor of the chamber in such
manner that this is closed while the flap
Is open and falls down like trapdoor
when the flap is shut, allowing the letter
to fall into the chamber below. As long
as the flap Is open, even in a small degree,
the lower chamber is completely cut off by
the floor of the first, and no instruments
can be carried down into II. The amount
of money lost annually by the abstraction
of letters through the slit for inserting Is
very considerable, and the invention seems
likely, wherever it Is adopted, to put =
stop TO robberies. Times.

AS A paper endeavoring to travel
in the light OF the lamp of utility,
THE STAR will endeavor to refrain
from getting angry about the latest
international incident. 1t is signi-
ficant that the first claim for dam
ages charged to have been inhict-
ed during the martial law reign
should be lodged by the United
States. But it is more striking and
peculiar that the claim should take
the form of demand based upon
the presentation of one side of a
case. In this remarkable damage
suit, where the verdict has been
rendered with such alacrity, the
defense has had no hearing. This
is about enough to say just now,
except perhaps, to remark that
justice is bound to prevail uliti-
mately and that the Government of
the United States is scarcely
capable of resorting to CO.
ercion and that the foreign
Office of this cevntry is entirely
able to handle any matter that
comes to it. THE STAR does not
share this publicly expressed fear
that the fact of Congress being in
recess will make any material differ
ence in the issue-but it may. The
course which this Government
should follow is clearly marked. 1t
will treat the case on the same
lines that it treated some other dis
putes that have not been quite for
gotten. Facts will be brought out
and conclusions in accordance with
them arrived at.

The Times says; Both parties
knew that convict under sentence

bate, however, when the house
takes notice of Days disabilities
will afford the subdivisions of Irish

RAM BIER

Every part OF a Rambler Bicycle is
manufactured by Gormully & jeffrey at
their factory, Chicago, and are not
bought from different makers all over
the country who make Bicycle parts by
the thousands and sell them by the ton,
Intending purchasers will do well to
think over this and beware OF the freak
bicycle with one makers tires and an
other makers saddle and another's hand
die bars and pedals, etc, and brand it as
low grade in spite of the fact that the
dealer is asking high grade price for it.
Before purchasing wheel consult the
experienced riders OF the different makes
OF wheels in town and get their opinion,
they are the ones that know a thing or
two about wheels.
Rambler Bicycles are all one quality
and all one price and the price is very
little more than they are asking for
second grade wheels in town.
And when you take into consideration
that you can have your Rambler tires
fitted with Puncture Proof Armor before
leaving the shop without extra cost it
means a big saving in time, labor and
money.
Each Rambler Bicycle has a guarantee
that means just what it says and we are
here to back it up.

TREE ON A MAN.
The Marvellous Growth of "A wisp of Will
low.

Jim Blanchard is a veteran prospec-
tor, who tells some queer stories of his
experience in the west, and when in a
talkative mood is always in demand.
While sitting at the hotel the other
evening he was the center of an in
terested crowd. One of the charac-
teristics peculiar to travellers, in the
mountains especially, being unques-
toned veracity, no one would think OF
casting reflections upon the truthful
ness of Jim's statements,
He was telling of trip from Deming,
N. NJ, to Guimas, Oh the Gulf of Lower
California. He was accompanied by
James Hanigan, Californian. Every
thing went well until they got about
two hundred and seventy-fve miles
south of Deming. Here they halted at
spring. Blanchard tethered the
horses, while Hanigan prepared the
meal. AS they expected to make dry
camp that night, Hanigan suggested
that the water cask be refilled. To do
so, blanchard thought the handiest
way would be to get the burro close to
the spring and fill the cask without re.
moving it from the burro's back. The
burro demurred and threw Blanchard
into the stream. In falling he tore his
trousers from the hip to the knee.
Having neither needle nor thread, he
took the bark of a willow sprout and
sewed up the rent.
Now, the Mexican willow has q pc
culiar nature, and in the wet season a
young sprout has been known to de-
velop into good sized tree over night.
On awaking the next morning Blanch-
ard found a willow tree growing from
his leg. The bark which he had
stripped from the sapling had taken
root and sprouted.
There was a stifed gasp heard
among the auditors which seemed to
disturb the speakers serenity for a
moment. He looked inquiringly for
the cause, but not a word was spoken.
''It's fact, gentlemen" he con-
cluded, that there tree got so BANKED
cumbersome in two days that Hanigan
was obliged to chop it down to re-
lieve me. N. Y. Recorder.

Then you think woman is not the

Certainly, the Creator never intend

greater need of defending herself on
account of her being woman? 1t is
all nonsense that she cannot fight; she
should be taught to hit out from the
shoulder, the same as man does, for

Attila's system of culture is one that
is within the scope of any woman to
follow out in her own home. The body
should be clad in loose gymnasium

absolutely free motion of the body. A
two-pound dumb-bel is best to start
with, and later fve-pound dumb-ben

The modern Sandowa is yet to be in
troduced, and she may come from the
ranks of the cultured-none can tell.
Prof. Attila, who was the trainer of the
strong man, Sandow, finds his most
promising field of labor among the
gentle sex and from the ranks of the
social, the musical and the artistic
world women are seeking him. The
probabilities are that the new woman
will supplement her shrewdness and
other mental qualifications with a
physical development that will fit her
to meet the world militant on its own
ground.
-Four years ago." said this trainer of
the modern Samson, Il inaugurated the
strong man fad in London, and l be-
came an individual more talked about

it will not be my fault"

Poles are planted at intervals in the

NEW SCALE OF PRICES
More Favorable 10 the Slasher Tenders o.
Tered by the Manufacturers.

Fall River, July 16-At a meeting OF
The Cotton Manufacturers Association,
this afternoon a committee of five ap-
pointed to investigate the slasher tender
grievances, made the following report:
Upon investigation 1t appears that
while the wages schedule for the slasher
tenders at the stated price per week has
moved up and down equally with the
other departments of labor, the following
condition exists: In some cases there has
been no increase in the hours of labor, in
some, more hours without an increase in
pay, and in some, more hours with an
increase of pay hence the committee sug-
gests schedule to take effect, July 22, of
10 cents per hour, with the present scbed-
ule of SO. ~ per week as the minimum for
a weeks work, for fine yarn mills, and
1916 cents an hour and $40 respectively
The report of the committee was unani-
mously adopted Discussion brought out
the fact that in many mills the production
has been increased by the addition OF new
spindles without the addition of new
slashing machines, and the work of the
men has been correspondingly increased
without an increase of wages.
This proposition and the vote of the
Manufacturers Association will be for
warded to the meeting Of the Slasher
Tenders Union and be acted on, tonight
