The present state of rapid commercial
affairs require that both heads of families
shall be endowed with perfect health to
enable them to keep pace with the world
in rearing and educating an interesting
family of boys and girls. Husbands and
wives debt to posterity is fully paid when
they will have left as their legacy an
intelligent and healthy progeny. The
brain and the organs designed for the
perpetuation of the species are closely
allied. They are one and inseparable,
and as the nervous forces are a system of
human telegraphy, between the two, the
utmost care should be exercised to keep
them in healthy and active condition.

TELEPHONES TO BE CHEAPER.
Decision That Hits the Western Electris
t Right Where IL Lives.

Right Wherc IL Lives.
Chicago, Nov. 9.-All but one OF the
props which have sustained the West
efn Electric company's monopoly of
the telephone was knocked out Saturday
in the United States circuit court by the
Western Telephone Construction COM
pany. To the surprise OF the former
corporation evidence was presented TO
Judge Showalter proving that its
claim to a patent covering all forms OF
telephone switch circuit changing APP
paratus was without foundation. The
evidence was so conclusive that II was
admitted without contest, and an order
was entered by the court which prob
ably foreshadows an early termination
OF the great telephone war.
One result of the discovery will be
the lessening of the cost OF telephones
10 all manufacturers by at least 81 on
each instrument. this being the sum.
IL is said, which has been charged up
on each telephone to meet the costs OF
litigation with the Western Electric
company. Another result will be shown
i'm large investments in the telephone
business, capital having been wary of
this particular field since IL became a
legal battle ground. Still another and
more important result will be the re-
moval of any further excuse for the
large royalties which have been paid
by the public. How soon these bene-
fits will reach the public is another
matter

been introduced within the past few
years designed To put an end TO the
practice of boycotting postmasters at

FUNERAL INTERRUPTED.
Tree Falls Upon a Hearse--Narrow Escape
of the Driver.

New York, Nov. 9.-The relatives
and mourners who followed the hearse
at the funeral Of Mrs. Mary Cummings
at Camden, n. j., Friday afternoon,
were shocked by seeing the coffin con-
tanning the body dashed from the
hearse into the road on the way TO the
cemetery. Two men were cutting
down a big tree by the road, and just
as the hearse reached the spot the tree
toppled over with a snap and fell di-
rectly upon it. The driver gave a leap
just in time TO escape being killed.
The frightened horses kicked and
plunged and. breaking away, left the
broken hearse and coffin, which was
thrown out and broken, the body
being hurled into the road. The great
est excitement prevailed among the
mourners. the dead woman's daughter
being seized with Mysteries. The horses
were caught some distance away, and.
after clearing up the debris, the body
was returned 10 the coffin. 1t was

LEE SEES THE PRESIDENT.
United States Consul .,sakes a Short Call at
the White House.

Washington. Nov. 9.-All the men,
Francis. who has not yet returned to
Washington, were present at Fridays
cabinet meeting, and ii is believed that
the subjects to be treated in the presi-
dents message were touched upon.
United States Consul General Lee
called at the state department shortly
after IL o'clock, and word of his ar
rival being carried to Secretary Olney
at the White House. the latter left
the cabinet meeting and came at once
to the department. He received Cen
eral Lee i'm his office and a long inter-
view followed.
AT the conclusion of his conference
with Secretary Onley General Lee
went to luncheon with Assistant Secre-
tary Rockhill, who is directly respon-
sible for the conduct of the consular
business and was much int sted in
what the consul had to say he con-
ditions in Cuba. In the afternoon the
consul general went over to the White
House and paid his respects to the
president. His call there was not long,
so IL is supposed he will see the presi-
dent again before he returns to hi3
post TO discuss Cuban affairs more in
detail. From what can be CLEANED of
the talk General Lee has had with his
superior officer ii appears he left mat
ters in Cuba very quiet by comparison
with what has gone before. Confined
closely as he was to Havana, he was
obliged TO rely upon the same official
reports as were telegraphed to the
United States for news of what was
going on in the field. so that his views
OF the military situation were rather
narrow. OF course he was better pre-
pared to discuss the economic aspect
Of the Cuban question. and after all
this is likely TO figure as largely as
any other factor in the consideration
OF our future relations.

Topeka, Kas.. Nov. 3 Charles F.
Johnson. who was appointed receiver
of the Santa Fe property in Kansas
by Judge Myers. of the state district
court, last week will qualify as re-
oeiver today, and il is supposed he
will then serve notice on the Santa

OF the property. The officials of the
railroad will refuse 10 recognize him
as receiver, and the attorneys of the
corporation will go at once TO Oska-
loosa and file a motion with Judge
Myers to vacate the order.
Should he refuse TO vacate his order,
as he probably will, Judge Foster, OF the
United States circuit court. will be asked
for a writ prohibiting the state court
from interfering with the property OF
the company. 1t is maintained by the
Santa Fe people that the United States
court, under the former receivership
proceedings, still has sufficient hold
on the Santa Fe to warrant its inter-
ference in the present proceeding in

RESUMPTION AT THE IRON MINES
Several ON the Mesaba Range to BE Oper-

Cleveland, Nov. 9. - Frank Rookie
Teller has gone TO the Lake Superior
iron mining district to arrange for an
immediate resumption of work in all
departments of his extensive mining
interests there. Among the iron mines
which will be operated full force and
full time are the Franklin, Bessemer
Nos. and 2,and Victoria on the Mesaba
range; the Zenith on the Nermillion
range and the Atlantic and Pence on
the Gogebic range.
These mines have been closed for
several months, and the resumption of
operations will give employment to
about 1,500 men. 1t is also expected
that within the next few days orders
will also be given for a resumption
of work at all the mines controlled
by John ID. Rockefeller, and which give
employment to even greater number
of men than those owned by his
brother.

special Report Coming ON the Rural
Free Delivery Experimentation the
Private Letter Box Suppressed Other
suggestions as To Legislation.
Washington, Nov. 9-The annual re-
port OF Frank III. Jones, first assistant
postmaster general, gives a review OF
large part of the years postal bus
mess of the government, and makes
numerous recommendations for the
Improvement of the service. Ii shows
that during the last three fiscal years
the aggregate savings in the divisions
!. OF salaries and allowances of postmas-
tiers were $545, 1894; in free delivery, 81
Sl4.4l5, and in postoffice supplies, s21S,-
$40: total. $3,27S. 9S5. For that period
there was an aggregate reduction Of
matter sent from postoffices 10 the
dead letter office.
Postoffice Plum Crop Is Decreasing.
The total number of presidential Of
fees July / last was 1851, of which 100
0tiC illcl-CldSSs lie dS6iCSdit biOSo
receipts al the first. second and third
class offices were S65, 2S2, 365 and the to-
tai salaries $6,203, 800. Since Nov. 2,
1884, there have been 2.459 positions in
the postoffices added To the classified
service. This leaves as the only posi-
tons at first-class postofiices that are
now excepted from civil service exam
nations assistant postmasters and
raVin nal N farC af d. of
fees, assistant postmaster, under any
legal designation. Attention is called
to the fact that Notwithstanding the
increase in gross receipts the numeri-
cal increase in the force was less than
80 per cent. of previous years.
Overtime Carriers Claims.
Jones says the postoffice department
should be at liberty 10 execute leases
for postoffice premises for a period in
excess of five years where, in the
opinion of the department, it is neces-
sary. Cancelling machines are highly
commended and there are 100 of one
pattern adm 237 OF another now in use
under contract. II is expected that
the Investigations of overtime carrier
claims will be completed during the
current fiscal year and about 100000
claims accrued.
Rural Free Delivery Experiments.
The experiment of free delivery in
forty-five towns and villages cost the
department. SS.247, leaving an unex-
pended balance of s1.753 Investigation
showed that in a majority OF the Of
fees the gross receipts had decreased
since the establishment of the service,
the department being compelled to
send money TO some offices for the pay
ment of the letter carriers salaries.
Congress did not appropriate for fur
ther permanent or exper 1ental service.
and the experiment Was necessarily
discontinued with the close of the fiscal
year. The rural free delivery expert
ment was in operation at points in thirty
states by the first of the month and
the result of this test will be received
in a special report to congress in De-
cember.
