ment for Shoplifting.
London, Nov. THE trial of MIR. and
Mrs. Walter NJ. Castle. of San Francisco,
charged with shoplifting. took place in
the sessions house at .Clerkenwell Fri
day and resulted in Mr.. Castle being ac'
Quilted and Mrs. Castle being sentenced

tence is practically formal and that she
will be liberated in few days.
The Central News announces that a
petition was lodged at the home office
Friday afternoon praying for the
queens clemency in the case of Mrs.
Castle. Uuited States Ambassador
Bayard has also addressed note ia
Sir Matthew W. lsidiey. home secre'
tary, on the subject.
Several of the merchants who had
testified to having lost property found

after the trial that they were convinced
that the lady was mentally irresponsi'
BILE and that they had no expectation
that she would be convicted.

Mrs. Castle. the Chronicle says that II
ever there was a distinct case OF
kleptomania, it is that OF Mrs. Castle
A pamphlet will be issued here saying
that most people will be panied and
surprised by the sentence imposed on
Mrs. Castle. There was complete ab-
sence of motive in her offenses. and
the medical testimony might fairly have
PROMPTED n nominal sentence.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Synopsis of Report of the First Assistant

Synopsis of Report Of the First Assistant
-, Postmaster-G General,
Washington, Nov. 9.-First Assistant
Postmaster-GeneralF Frank Il. Jones. in
his annual report for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1896, states that there has,
during that time, been a saving of 3d.
27S,OS5, and also such was an improve
ment in the service Of delivering the VOL
ume Of mail matter.
The number of presidential post Of
fees is 1864. the salaries OF the post
masters being $6.2o3, 900, and the total
gross receipts from these offices were
$65;2S2, 3G4.
MIR. Jones recommends that $17,0O0,-
600 be appropriated to compensate post
masters for the next fiscal year. He
asks only $ll,0oo,o0o for clerk hire, a
considerable decrease in proportion to
the increase of clerks to be employed.
He recommends that $4,000 be appro-
priated for the rental and purchase of
canceling machines. He thinks ST., 900
a sufficient sum to cover advertising
expenses regarding unclaimed letters,
and advocates the adoption of the bull
letin board system in this matter. He
recommends that ten inspectors be as.
signed to look after the work in the
salary and allowance branch Of the
service.
Free delivery service has been estab-
lished ut "a cities during the year. and
there are now but SO entitled to it, but
on account Of the expense the remainder
could not be benefited. Experimental
free delivery in towns and villages has
shown reduction in gross receipts i'll
a majority Of offices. BY November
next rural free delivery will be tested
in about 30 states. There was a reduc-
ton of dismissals of. letter carriers.
which evidences the high standard Of
discipline. An estimated expenditure
Oh $13 ,326. 500 is made on account of free
delivery system for the fiscal year 1907
90. Negotiations are now pending for
an exchange of money orders with Mex
leo. Mr.. Jones recommends that PEN
atty be prescribed for the unlawful use
of the frank of q member of congress
and suggests 5000 fine in each case. He
says the law was disregarded during
the campaign just closed. He asks leg
islation to do away with private post
Office boxes.
