PROVED WHOLLY UNTRUE
The Reports Concerning Policeman Richards
Authoritatively Denied.
Happy Results of the Onicinl Investf-
gatiOn-Crucl Rumors Affecting
Mrs. Richards Set at Rest.

The Investigations made by the police
authorities and Star reporters of the in
furious reports circulated concerning Po-
liceman George G. Richards of the NTH
precinct show that there was absolutely
no truth whatever in the reports, which. as
stated in The Star of March TO- were be-
ing inquired into by Lieut.. McCathran.
The cruelest part of the rumors was that
which involved Policeman Richards wife.
it being asserted that he had suspected her
CT unfaithfulness. and having gone home
early in the morning. discovered visitor
in the house. and that Policeman Richards
had fired three shots from his PISTOL pre-
sumably at his wife, who had fled from
the house. The facts were that Mr.. Rich
ards was al home at the time referred TO
in these reports. that snot was fired by
him. and that Mrs Richards never left hsr
home at ALL as there was no occasion for
flight. Nothing had occurred to disturb the
happy relations of Mr.. ard Mrs. Richards
or to give him any grounds for suspicion.
1t appears that A shot was fired III the
tieet near Mr.. Richards house, not early
IN the morning. but early in the evening,
ana Mr.. Richards went out to see what the
trouble was Or this very slender founda-
ton was butt up a rumor, which has
caused naturally much distress TO innocs n
persons The reports that rose from the
pistol shooting appear 10 have been exag-
gerated and diligently spread by some one
who desired 10 do Policeman Richards an
injury. Both Mr. and Mrs. Richards are
well known in the southeast part of the
city ana bear an unblemished reputation.
Mrs. Richards is a member of well
known family, and in her conduct has al
ways been model of propriety. Those who
know her gave no credence whatever to the
report. which investigation has proved to
be without the slightest foundation, in
fact, so far as 1t concerned Mr.. and Mrs.
Richards.

THE OFFICIAL FRANK.
An Order issued Against a Practice in
Their Use.


Their Use.
The Postmaster General recently wrote
TO the secretary of the Treasury in regard
to the alleged improper use of the official
frank and an order has been issued against
a continuance of a certain practice in that
regard In his letter the Postmaster Gen
eral said
1t has come to the knowledge of the
Postmaster General that subordinate Off,
GERS in at least one of the departments
use the official envelope in corresponding
with their attorneys in regard to their ac-
counts with the government, and that they
furnish their attorneys Official envelopes
10 cover the return of what they choose to
cali official papers to the officials interested.
This is illegal, and l have TO respectfully
request you to call the attention of your
suoordlnates to the following points:
l. An official of the government has no
right to use the official envelope to cover
papers or correspondence with his attor-
mis- accounts with the government And
when it is known that packages, though
addressed by the department to officials,
are really intended for an attorney or other
private citizen, such packages should not
be sent free of postage.
= An official has no right to furnish his
attorney or other private citizen Official
envelopes to be used al his discretion or
otherwise. The only exception to this rule
is where an officer writes to a private party
on official business he may inclose with
his letter an official envelope properly ad-
dressed TO himself to cover the reply.

From the Minneapolis Gfinn) Tribune
The results of the newly instituted eve
examination that is in operation in the
schools at present bring out some startling
Facts. which strongly suggest that the eyes
OF the present century are not nearly as
good as eyes OF other days
In an examination of the eyes in the
German schools there was found to be Is
per cent of the scholars who wore or alb
solutely needed to wear glasses The Min
neapolis schools are nearly as bad
Prof. Webster of the East Side High has
devoted his whole time for three days 10
the eye examination. The eyesight of
about 80 per cent of those examined is Sc
riously defective, and when asked II they
suffered with headache when studying
about oEe-thfrd of the scholars answered in
the affirmative, the headache being due to
defective eyes. The principal said that he
found that the scholars of the better fam
llies had the poorer eyes. and that the same
was true of those who took the Latin
course.
At the South Side High School the eyes
We're found to be even worse. Prof. Saw
yer said that between 10 and 80 per cent of
his scholars needed to wear glasses, and
that 10 per cent more were In need of med
ical treatment. That is to say, there are
