A GREAT ADVANCE.
From Boston journal, May Is.

|
Within forty, eight hours the Journal
has added eleven reporters to its city
and suburban force. Such an increase
at one timeis without precedent in New
England and probably in the whole
country. II was made prudently and
with critical eye to the effectiveness
of the men individually and Of the
work which it is intended they shall do.
The Journal announced last Satur-
day that it had secured the greatest
Geographic news service ever delivered
in New England; that passing by local
and minor organizations, it had obtain.
ed a stockholding membership in The
Associated Press, the most powerful
news collecting system in the world;
and that, by means of special double
wire service from New York, the Jour-
nals news report would be twice as
great as any ever before brought into
Boston.
But that was only half the story. 1t
was the first public word about an ex
tensive and carefully prepared plan to
make the Journals entire news service,
Geographic and local, the best in New
England. Telegraphic news is enor.
mously important, but so is local news
Readers of the Journal have been told
what to expect from The Associated
Press in conjunction with the work of
the Journals special correspondents at
all points This increase in local for e
is the best possible proof that the local
news is to be strengthened equally.
Moreover, the Journals local news
under the new system will be its own,
In form as well as in substance. 1t
will be collected and prepared to meet
the tastes and desires of the readers of
the Journal, without combination with
other newspapers or any local news
agency. 1t is not necessary to say that
the new system will be expensive, but
the journal is confident that it will
prove to be an investment which will
bring abundant returns.
In becoming a full member of The
Associated Press the Journal Joins hands
with more than four hundred of the
leading daily newspapers of the United
States.
The Associated Press is strongly rem.
resented by newspapers in every State
and Territory in the Union, and in all |
foreign countries by the best agencies
in existence.

average weight obtained during tbe 20

from 100 to 1875 pounds each. The
padding of the mails was investigated
by the postofice department, and to
prevent this practice the department
has ordered the weighing to be contin.

oHIo'S NEW CAPITOL.


Proposed Radical Alterations in the Old
Structure ut Columbus.
Drawings for the Ohio state capitol
prepared in accordance with the pro
visions of the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Dodge, have been completed.
Mr.. Dodge's plan is really to remodel
the present capitol. He proposes the
addition of another story and an ex-
tension of the east and west centers so
as to form two large additional rooms
on each floor. There would be n
corridor entirely around the interior Of
the building, thus affording access
from a room in given corner of thu
building to the one opposite without
retracing ones steps through the
rotunda, as is the case now. The first.
floor would be devoted exclusively to
state offices. The second floor would
be given over to the supreme court, law
and state libraries, while the third floor
would be occupied by the senate
chamber, hall of the house and COM
mittee rooms. There would be four
elevators. Dodge proposes to give the

Rejected Lover Commits Suicide.
Bellows Falls, May PA fisher
man yesterday morning, while passing
over Oak hill, half mile west of this
village, discovered man lying sleep
ing beside the path, with his coat thrown
over his head. The fishermen did not
disturb him and about noon, on return
ing, he saw the body in the same posi-.
ton. An examination showed that the
man had been dead several hours, hay
ing committed suicide by taking chloro-
form. A large handkerchief had been
placed under his nose and pint bottle
of chloroform was held in one hand.
The body proved to be that of w. E.
Gates, % gears old, formerly of Sax
tons River and Brattleboro. He was
unmarried and was employed by the
Vermont Farm Machine company as
machinist. Letters found on his person
showed the probable cause to be his re,

The Oldest Postmaster In Continuous
Service.


Some little time ago the st. Louis
Globe Democrat published commu-
nication stating that Elijah Watson
of Rushvile, Mo, was the oldest
postmaster in continuous service in
the United States he having been APP
pointed June 10, 1858. A State ex-
change picks it up and says:
Miss Louisa c. Danforth was ap''
pointed postmistress at Weathersfeld
May Z, 1852, over Al years ago, and
has continued in Office ever since.
The Weathersfield postoffice is at the
"Bow," so called. For 20 years or
more past there has been but sthree
postmasters at Weathersfeld, Bailey,
Bartlett and Hollis Howard having
been Miss Danforth's immediate pre-,
decessors. Miss Danforth took
charge of the office in September,
1851, previous to her appointment.
Chester B. Williams of Bondville
received his commission as postmas-
ter from Nathan X. Hall, postmas-
ter General under President Fillmore,
dated Dec. Is, 1851. He bas been
in continuous service ever since. He
was also acting postmaster for some
time prior to receiving the appoint
ment. We are very sorry to take
this honor from Miss Danforth but
the SITTER, like George Washington,
can't tell lie.

(From Poetic Heal, h Jonrnal.)
First, get a wife; second, be patient.
Iou may have great trials and pc plrXi-
ties in your business, but do not there
fore, carry to your home a cloudy or con-
racted brow. Your wife may have trials,
which, through of less magnitude, may
be hard for her TO bear. A kind word, a
tender look, will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds of gloom.-To
this we would add always keep a bottle
of ChambeIlaiu's Cough Remedy in the
house. 1t is the best and is sure to be
needed sooner or later. Your wife will
then know that you really care for her
and wish TO protect her health.
