New POStOffiCe lnnoVa-
 tiOn.
Free Delivery Extended Three
 Miles Out.
The New System Will Go Into Effect as Soon as Official Notification
 Is Received.

The Republican two days ago received a special dispatch from Wash ington to the effect that the postofice department had extended the order providing for a rural free delivery sys- tenn for Maricopa county.
 A Republican representative yester- day interviewed Postmaster Thomas in regard ito the matter, but he said that he had as yet received no official notification from Washington.
 Under the rural delivery system, as explained by MT. Thomas, the free delivery service will extend three and a half miles in all directions from the postofice. Boxes will be stationed in places most convenient to the public and the mall will be collected by car riers appointed for that purpose. The same rules will apply to the delivery of mail, with the exception that those people living within the three and a half mile limit will have their mail delivered instead of having to come to the postoffice after it.
 Postmaster Thomas says that he is already delivering mail one and a half miles from the postoffice in all direc- tions, the limits having been recently extended and an additional carrier ap pointed The new order will be a vel come one to those living outside of the city, for it will save them considerable trouble in gadting their mail.
 Recently the postoffice authorities at Washington issued an order calling the thirty postof1ce inspectors of the United States to Washington and at a conference held there it was decided to try the rural delivery system in thirty of the cities of the Union as an experiment.. Phoenix was selected as one of the thirty, and Postmaster Thomas feels highly elated that this city should be so recognized. It shows that the city is considered of some inn portance by the Washington authori ties. There are hundreds of cities throughout the Union with ltwice the population of Phoenix and that this city should be included in the list is a compliment indeed.
 There is only one city In the United States alt the present time that has a rural delivery system and that is Charlestown, West Virginia.
 The postmaster is of the opinion that the rural delivery will necessitate the employment of only two additional men.

Passed Away.

Matt. Lawson calmly passed from
this life to another at his residence
1903 williamsburg Avenue at ten min
utes to one o'clock, April DIST, 1895
He departed this life in the full tri
umph of faith and said that he wasn't
going to die but was going to change
from our life to another and that he
could just imagine how happy heaven
was.
He said, that he felt as if he could
drink up the cup as Christ drank il
and that death was coming rapidly
but Christ was going to tell death be
calm, don't harm him He also said
thank God and Jesus too, that he was
going to change lives
He left wife, three children, four
brothers and two sisters to mourn theiI
loss; but we hope our loss is his eter-
nal gain.
Brother, thou art gone to rest,
We Will not weep for thee;
For thou art now where oft on earth
Thy spirit longed to be.
Brother, thou art gone to rest,
Thine is an early tomb;
But Jesus summoned thee away,
Thy Saviour called thee home.
Brother, thou art gone to rest,
Thy tolls and cares are Ger;
And sorrow, pain. and suffering now,
Shall ne'er distress thee more.
His sister.
