HENRY NJ. STANLEY, the explorer, is dan
gerously i'll in London.
JOHN La FRANCE and Norman De Baux
arrived in San Francisco from New York
last Thursday night, having made the trip
on their bicycles in thirty-seven days. The
best previous record was forty-one days.
ALL hope of rescuing the entombed min
ers at Wilkesbarre, Pa, has been aban-
doned. 1t will take fully seventy days to
reach the spot where the men lost their
lives. The work is steadily growing more
difficult and may be abandoned.
dor han three-fourths of the wax can
dies used in the United States are made in
Syracuse, N. Y, and the three firms which
make them, Francis Banner, Miller * Hoff-
man and Eckerman & Will, have combined
in a stock company will $750,0O0 capital.
This combine expects to have a practical
monopoly of the wax candle market.
RAILROAD companies can no longer carry
their business letters over their own roads
without paying postage to the government.
An order has been issued from the post
office department at Washington insisting
upon the enforcement of the postal laws
against railways carrying their own letters.
An exception is made in favor Of letters
that have to do with the business Of the
train carrying them, but all letters to sta
ton agents and officials are forbidden to be
carried without postage, and the inspectors
are directed to enforce the law. The rail-
roads, however, will not be required to
mail their letters as ordinary citizens and
corporations. They will be supplied by the
government with a specially stamped en-
velope, which they must cancel on delivery
to the train man. The express companies
have been using such envelopes for some
years.
WE are anxious to do a little good in this
