The 1900 books and pamphlets, anu

Siskiyou Reporter: The impression
that Congress has passed a new law
permitting the use of private mailing
cards for advertising and other pur-
poses, and to be carried at the postal
card rate of one cent, is a mistake. No
such law has been passed, as the fol-
lowing from the Postoffice Department
at Washington will show:
From the large number of inquiries
now being received by the department
there seems to be a general belief that
Congress has authorized the issue and
use of private postal cards, mailable al
the one cent rate of postage
This belief is unfounded. No law
has been enacted on the subject so that
private mailing cards. bearing written
messages, when deposited in the mails,
are still subject to postage at the letter

SO the Bradbury woman tricked the
Anti-Vice Society after all, with her
story that her husband had forgiven
her. abandoned his European trip and
was Fastening to Chicago to meet her.
On that plea she was freed and went
her way rejoicing. Now comes dis
patch from New York in which Brad
bury says he has not forgiven the
f1ighty woman, has no idea of taking
her back to his home, and has not
postponed his trip, but will sail for
Europe at once. We think the better
of him for that, and the better still
that he sought to avoid reporters and
the publication of his woes. He prob
ably is no model man, but he is far
and away a better than we thought
him, if he is now correctly reported.
But the Vice Society has had its labor
for its pains. 1t has not 're-estab-
lished a. happy home" as one of it's
officials boasted. 1t has simply spread
a scandal more widely, and made of
itself a holy show.

1t is now looking very much as II the
obdurate Sultan of Turkey can be
brought to terms by force only. He
refuses point blank to concede to
Greece the territory now occupied by
Turkish troops in Thessaly, though the
him that there must be no acquisition
of territory because of the Turco-Gre-
clan war. The Sultan has replied by
cancelling all furloughs and sending
his officers scurrying back to their
commands; ammunition supplies and
subsistence stores are going forward,
and more soldiers are moving towards
the frontier 1t may be that the Sui
tan contemplates by a bold and sud
den stroke renewal of the conflict ana
to push on to Athens before the Powers
can interfere. At the same time this
inflated sovereign is picking trouble
with Persia, and the latter country has
given the Turk to understand that his
demands will not be acceded to, name
ly, the withdrawal of Persian troops
from near Kerblea. Just what the
issue is and why Persian troops occu-
py Turkish territory the public has
not been we'll informed. 1t is safe to
say, however, that whatever Persia
has done, is with the consent, If not
by the direction of Russia. That great
empire holds Persia upon its fingers
end, and may do just what it pleases
in that quarter The Afghanistan in
cident proved that and Persia is not
forgetful, besides it has a strong treaty
of friendship with Russia which will
not permit the little Oriental State to
be imposed upon.

of supervisors. Mr.. Gill was also an ac-

be no politics in the proposed change.
Mr.. Gill says that the supervisors are mis-
informed as to incidents and matters and
that he will defend himself successfully.

BAD BLOOD IN LORD BEREsFoRD
Georgia Authorities Find the Impos-
tor Returned to His Old Ways

zone of the most remarkable cases on
| record, l believe, is that of Lord Beres-
| ford, in Georgia." said Judge j. Y. Cox,
a well known member of the Atlanta
bar, who is in the city for few days,
stopping at the Normandie. This man,
Lord Beresford, came to Georgia some
years ago and made a big play of being
nobleman. 1 believe he is connected
in some very far distant manner to one
of the younger sons of an English fam :
lily. Well, at any rate. he was no Lord
Beresford at ALL but simply a man
named Sidney Lascelles. He started
on his career by passing numerous
forged checks He was mixed up in other
short tricks, and it did not take long for
him to land behind the Jail bars He
was put in the penitentiary, and there
served his sentence.
"In the meantime he wrote a queer
book, calling it a history of his life. In
it he told a remarkable story of i'll
treatment by his family. The truth
of the story has never been discovered.
When the man was released he de-
clared that he would lead an honest and
upright life. Being a smooth talker
and dressing stylishly, he soon won his
way into the hearts of some capitalists $
interested in the new town of the wire
grass region known as Fitzgerald. He
blossomed forth there as a moneyed
man, secured contracts for electric
lighting the town, and his past was
soon forgotten. A handsome woman
happened to be in the place. She was
from Nashville, 1 believe, and of good
family. She met Lascelles, fell in love
with him, and the two were married
against the protests of the lady's par
ents. She was wealthy, and, having a
life of luxury before him, the pseudo
Lord Beresford dropped his work in
Fitzgerald. He and his bride left for
parts unknown. No sooner had he
left than it was discovered that he was
short in his accounts with many people
and had been up to his old tricks.
Now the Georgia authorities are
looking for him everywhere. If he is
caught he will be brought back and
Jailed, unless his wife's money can aid
