BOsTON's POSTMASTER PROTESTS


NJ hEDDfllpN VI DfSlslN fSftlf@S W ANItD IN THAT
CITY-BIG INCREASE N RECEIPTS.
Washington. Jan. l9-Postmaster Thomas OF
Boston. at the Postoflce Department to-day TO
protest against the proposed reduction in mall de-
Nveries in tho residential quarters OF Boston He
showed that the Back Bay district was the only
one which has more than four deliveries a day.
while of the other residential sections have
less than that number. He suggested that 1t might
be well to lessen the number OF collections in some
portions OF the city, instead of the deliveries.
The postal officials say that a misrepresentation
probably exists among large number OF post
out early in the week asking them to report what
saving could be effected for the remainder OF the
fiscal year in the way OF dropping employees whose
help is not absolutely necessary. The intention OF
the Department is not that the number OF de-
lveries in those cities shall be reduced. is
templated in some OF the large cities OF the East.
but that postmasters should report what economies
they could make in the way OF dispensing with few
service and other allowances IN the carrier
appropriation.
a statement prepared at the Finance Division OF
the Department, based the receipts al thirty
OF the largest cities throughout the country for the
first five months OF the fiscal year. estimates that
the receipts from all the offices for the entire year
will be $40 100000 This in round numbers, Is ssOO-
en- more than for the last fiscal year, and Is, the
postal officials say adequate reason why the ex-
Denses for the present year should be greater
cepts will be $500 600 greater, they express the
opinion that the expenses will not be more than
N 900 900 greater at the outside figure, and they DO
not think they will reach 100000 more

A Queer Russian District.

There is in Russia district which is wholly administered and during most of the time exclusively inhabited by women. It is the province of Smolensk and comprises district of about 15 square miles, from which all the able bodied males emigrate i'll the spring and proceed to neighboring towns and dis tricts in search of work, remaining away about niue months of the year. In their absence tho women cultivate the fields and manage local affairs general ly under the presidency of a woman mayor. Before nightfall the women as- semble in sort of clubhouse and play cards till or in the morning. Virtue there is compatible with unlimited cakes and ale, and though the hours are late and so much time is given to amusement the commune is prosperous, disorder is unknown and it is one of the best conducted portions of the empire. The czarina takes an interest in it and is proud of it-New York Tribune.

Six Boxes for $2. 50.

It was the opinion among my friends and neighbors that had not long to live.-
 "I noted articles in the newspapers re. garding people who had been cured of serious illnesses, that in many respt cts were similar to mine, by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. This supplemented by the advice of Seigmond Mittenmaier, brother of Superintendent Louis Mittenmaier,. of the county Home at Rome, N. r., decided me to give these pills trial, l began taking them in July, 1896, and after using one box and part of another 1 was much improved. I continued their use and slowly but surely have gained until I have nearly recovered my former good health. l think if my daughter had only used these pills in the early stages of her fatal disease, her life might have been saved. have and do now strongly recommend their use Tn cases slml- lar to my own."
 (Signed) HENRY HOUSEHOLDER.
 The blood is the vital element in our lives consequently it must be kept pure, rich and red in order to have perfect health. The cause of MT. Householder's sickness was impure and impoverished blood. He had skilled medical treatment and used many remedies but derived no benefit until he commenced to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and these cured him.
 This proves that this remedy is the best means of imparting those elements that aiding bodily functions and arousing every organ into healthful action and in this way restoring the entire system.
 That is the reason why Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People cure so many diseases, why doctors prescribe them. why druggists recommend them and why they are SO universally used.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such dis eases as lOcOmOtOr ataXla, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica neuralgia, rheuma- tism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sal low comp1exions all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, are sold by all dealers or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents box or six boxes for $2. 50, (they are never sold in bulk or by the 10O), by addressing The Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Box V, Schenectady, NY.

Apt Quotation.

There is sometimes more wit in the application to the business in hand of words already chosen for another pur- pose than in the invention of an appro- priate phrase. Bishop Whipple, accord ing to The Church News, loved to tell this story:
 A deyout colored> preacher. whose heart was aglow with missionary zeal, gave notice to his. congregation that i'll the evening an ofertory would be, taken for missions and asked for liberal gifts. A selfish, we'll to do man in his congre- gation said to him before the service:
 "Yer gwine to kill dis church eff yer goes on saying give, give. No church can stan it. Yer gwine to kill it. ''
 After the sermon the colored minister said to the people: --........ .i
 Brother Jones told me was gwine to kill dis here church eff kep' a-askin yer to give, but, my brethren, churches doesn't die dat way. Eff any body knows of a church dat died cause it's been givin too much to de Lord, I'll be very much obliged eff my brother will tell me whar dat church is. for I'ze gwine to visit it. and I'll climb on de wallis of dat church under de light of de moon. and cry, Blessed am de dead dat die in de Lord.

Again in early spring the disease con- tinued its deadly hold upon her, and not withstanding skillful medical treatment and the efforts of parents and friends she sank slowly until death came.
 In January, 1896, Mir. Householder also became . victim of the grippe and a compli- cation of diseases.
 In describing the symptoms of his illness he said: " In January of last year l was Tn the woods with my son cutting and hauling wood to the house. One time while my son went to the house with load of wood l re- mained in the woods and was busily en- gagged in cutting down a tree. After cutting one side I started cutting on the other, when was seized with pain in the small 1 of my hack over my left kidney. 1 suffered | intensely and when my son returned we went | home. I commenced dOctoring at once, re- ceiving treatment at different times from five doctors who disagreed as to what my ailments really were.
 "I cannot describe all I suffered, words could not do it. I had palpitation of tine breath. There was a dull pain in my stomach. My kidneys were weak and my liver was enlarged, causing great annoyance while lying down. I.had headache much ot the time My blood was poor and watery. my hands and limbs cold, and finally fell into nervous despondency. At times seemed to become somewhat better and hope would revive but only to slip back into 8 1 worse cOnUlt1On CndU ever. 1nc OHl the doctors seemed to relieve me of was my headache.
 l "During the following April MT. House. holder was summoned as juror on the trial i of J. Watson Hildreth, who was held for wrecking the fast mail train on the New York Central Railroad near Rome, N. 4., and causing many deaths. Eminent coun- sel was engaged on both sides and so care ful were they in their selections and SC widely known had this case become, that | four hundred men were summoned before could be selected. Of his Connection with the case Mir. Householder says: "Wher summoned at court I had one of my seasons in which fattered myself that was getting we'll. But the severe strain of the trial, close confinement of twenty days during whict the trial lasted, the attention necessary tc the testimony shattered my nerves and upor my return home was completely prostrated l l tried different doctors but was not benefited
