RURAL DELIVERY
 GAINS IN FAVOR Postal Service Will Be
 ReVOlutiOnized. SANTA CLARA EXPERIMENT RESULTS ARE PLEASING TO
 THE OFFICIALS.
SANTA CLARA EXPERIMENT
Assistant Postmaster General Heath Finds the Cost No Greater Than That of the Fourth Glass
 Offices.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The postal service of the country will be revolu- tionized if experiments now being made by the Postoffice Department are suc- cessful. The rural delivery recently established is to be extended over the entire county of Santa Clara, Califor- mia. Representative Loud, chairman of the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads, represents that coun- ty Primarily the county was selected because it possesses all conditions which are held to be necessary for a successful test, but the department, moreover, deemed it wise to have the test under the immediate supervision of the man through whom the legis- lation for the establishment of a free rural delivery throughout the country must originate.
 First Assistant Postmaster General Heath has devoted much time and att tention to this subject, and believes the experiments so far made and those to be undertaken on more comprehen- sive plan in California will lead Con- gress to take favorable action on the subject He is already able to show that in populous counties mail can be delivered and collected at each farm house at no greater expense than is now imposed in maintaining fourth class postoff1ces and star routes in such counties.
 General Heath says there are some counties in which rural free delivery can be operated at considerable saving to the Government over the present system.
 Superintendent Machen of the free delivery service leaves for California in few days to direct the experiment there. Carriers will be prepared to transact a money order and registered letter business with farmers and rural residents heretofore inaccessible to such conveniences.

 During the examination which followed Albrecht's identity was established ap- parently beyond all doubt, The sigma lures upon the two marriage licenses cor responded exactly, and despite the pro- testations of the prisoner that he never saw the Oakland lady, Mrs. Albrecht No. 1, before in his life. his claim seemed to have very little weight.
 Albrecht was bound over to appear be- fore the Superior Court. His bonds were fixed at s2500, and in default of which he was given over to the custody of the Sheriff and conducted back to his cell in the County Jail. He still maintains he Is not a bigamiSt.

totypes Damon and Pythias; these
were actuated by pure love; we
feel their influence; their precious
memories rise in our hearts today,
as we extend to you our hearty
welcome. Words are but shadows
of the thoughts and emotions they
produce.
The more I have thought, the
deeper have felt that no words of
mine can add dignity to the occa-
sion. Your presence and the order
which you represent which stands
before the world i'll such glorious
aspect, must supplement the efforts
of the tongue. The occasion is
vastly more eloquent than words.
In a crisis day in Roman history no
one could move the people, orator
followed orator in vain. Then a
veteran came forward and held up
the stump OF an arm that had been
lost in battle. Thus must you con
tinue to move the heart of the
world by holding up the evidences
OF your engagements.
Il speak to you, Sir Knights, to,
day as to men who realize that life
is one continual warfare, but with
the cry of victory at the end. Look
back to the beginning; look along
the line from the beginning to the
present time, and can we not say
truly, we believe we are building
for eternity? Our record thus far
has been most glorious one; Our
deeds of friendship, charity and be-
nevolence are perpetuated by SYM
pathy and aid gone out to thou
sands OF tired and weary ones of the
human family. For the lessons of
friendship taught by the Knights
OF PythlaS do not end in works.
There are many today who are will
ing to testify to the practices of the
order In the substantial manner in
which it has cared for the destitute,
relieved the sick and given neces
sary aid to the widow and orphan.
All you have done, all you are do
ing now or shall do IN the time to
come will not be lost. Therefore,
let us not condemn any man. We
are shown in the grand cathedrals
what can be done with all stones.
God shows us in the gardens
what can be done with the waste
places. 1 do not read that there
are two rocks out of which men are
dug-one a very low and disreputa-
BILE rock, and the other very high
and grand piece of masonry. Have
pity on those who are far behind.
0, we stones in the towers high up
in the blue morning, catching the
first birds sweet trill and song, have
pity on your fellow stones who are
still in the dark. A still more glo-
rious golden age awaits our order
in the sages that are to come. 1t
had bright and beautiful morning
but there awaits in the future a
long day of cloudless sunshine"
Again we bid you welcome"

desks without any ostentatious display
The General found a huge basket of frag-
rant flowers on his desk which had been
sent TO him by one of his personal friends.
The clerks and other employees about
the office presented themselves before
their new chief and several citizens drop
ped in to congratulate the General upon
his new honor. Among the first Of the
callers was George H.. Lindsey, the vet
eran principal of No. ] School. He once
taught the new Postmaster and he called
to congratulate his old pupil upon his
advancement.
About the first official act the new
Postmaster did this morning was to call
before him all the ~Postmasters in charge
Of the various sub-stations throughout
the city and consult with them concern
ing the manner of conducting their
Offices
Former Assistant Postmaster higgins
was on hand and ave Mr.. Woolley some
valuable information concerning The du-
ties of his office. There Will be no
changes in the office at present.

MORPHINE FIEND DIES.
Two Strong Policemen Have
Their Hands Full in Ar
resting Him.


Ernest Jantzen, ~twenty-six years old,
a German drug clerk employed by Drug
gist w. J.. A. Schwartz, of No. 31f Seventh
street, died in the City Hospital. last
night. a victim of the morphine habit.
But little is known in Jersey City about
Jantzen. He had only been in Mr.
Schwartz's employ about three weeks.
The police at the Seventh street sta
ton house were notified early in the
evening that a crazy ma was az Jantz-
ems drug store, threatening 70 XII nm
self and others. Patrolman ]. w. MUIR
ply was sent witt the patrol wagon 70
arrest him. He and Patrol Wager Driver
Peter Lowery were obliged to burst IN the
door of Jantzen's ROOM Jantzen had
torn his clothes to shreds and had TO pc
taken to the City Hospital. wrapped in
bed clothing. He fought desperately at
him before he could be controlled by the
two stalWart policemen. He died TWO
hours after he entered the hospital
Jantzen is said to have only been n
this country a few weeks. Mr.. Schwartz
did not know when hes engaged Nun as
clerk that he was a morphine \ he
missed large quantities OF mofphhl from
time to time and accused JantZen OF ap-
propriating it. The latter would always
Indignantly deny that he was the thief
The police this morning discovered
among Jantzen's effects tive one-ounce
bottles, labelled sulphate of morphine
One of them was almost empty. The
other was full. Mr.. Swartz denied the re-
mort that he had accused Jantzen of taxi
ing morphine from the stock in the store:
He said that Jantzen was not a clerk, but
was employed as a sort of help in clean
ing up. washing bottles. etc. and all
peisons were kept under lock and key.
The morphine found among Jantzen's e.
fects. Mr.. Swartz said, was obtained by
JantzeB from MeKesson & Robbins. U
ton street, New York, yesterday, Jantzen
having probably used ole of mis-
fSchwartz) cards in securing it.
Nothing was found among Jantzen's ef-
fects to indicate his personal history. MI.
Swartz said he saw the young man in this
country about eight years ago., bat that
he had returned to Germany, n only
came hack a few weeks ago.
