BULLET-PROOF CLOTH.
Polish Priests Invention Tested by
the Chicago Police.

CHICAGO, March ia ''bullet-proof
CLOTH" the invention of Brother Cast
mir Ziegler, of st. Stanislaus Polish
church, was tested today by the Chica-
go police. Two pieces of the material,
each about q foot wide and two feet
long. were shot at for an hour, with
the result that only one bullet pierced
1t, the force being spent to such an
extent that the board behind the cloth
was hardly dented. TIE invention is
as yet very crude. but the police inspec-
tors thought that when the cloth is
made by machinery 1t would do all its
maker claimed for it. The fabric Is
rather thick and somewhat resembles
leather in texture.

Suburban Mail Delivery.

Washington, May IA vigorous
policy Of extending the mail facilities
for the suburbs OF the large cities IS far
as possible by both steam and electric
cars has been adopted by Second Assist
ant Postmaster-General Shallen berger.
Many OF the big cities will have addi-
tional service tor the suburbs if the
residents OF those places Cooperate
with the department, to make i, a sue
cess, and the statement will be well
come announcement to numerous
places, where feeling is evinced that
the demands of the suburbs are no,
met. Mr.. Shallenberger is giving the
matter careful attention. and as an in.
itlative has jus, made contracts at
Plttsburg for additional train service
to various suburbs there, within a
range OF about thirty miles from the
city. whereby from one TO three mails
a day Will result from the use al accom-
mediation trains. Electric cars will
figure largely in the future postal oper-
ations, owing to the large number q:
settled districts where the steam roads
do not touch.

effect Of the present rate Of the internal
revenue tax on distillation of spirits.
collection of revenue, etc Secretary
Gage today replied that according to
tables OF previous years the highest
revenue rate would be 20 cents a gall

and if a reduction be made, to return
to the bonded period of three years.
Among other changes he recommends
is that special tax of not less than
$500 or more than 81. 900 a year be i'm
posed on the industry of distilling, to
be determined by the capacity of the
distillery; that only stills having ca

greatly increasing illicit distilling.
