wires are usually unlaid for thirty feet or

may reminder that some time since Aus

cause. 1t was finally, discovered that there
had been a submarine earthquake out at

section of the cable disappeared into the
ocean bottom and has not been found TO
this day.
The shore ends of cables are very much
more subject to trouble than the deep-sea
portions. In laying a cable-even a shore
cable-the line is carried out by the most
direct route to deep water, say not less
than 100 fathoms or 600 feet. This is done
to avoid or lessen the chance of injury by
tides and currents quite as much as to
diminish the possible damage from vessels
which may anchor near. 1t is hard to I'M
derstand the reports of the recent attempts
to cut the cables coming out from Cientue-
Cos. To send in small boats within less
than a hundred yards of shore, and hold
them there under fire while they nshed Tor

FREE RURAL DELIVERY
POSTAL DEPARTMENT WILL SOON
EXTEND THE EXPERIMENTS.
TabuIated Statement Showing Num-
Der of People I'm Each State Who
Have to Go After Their Mail.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE extension
of the rural free-delivery postal service.
authorized by the last Congress, is being
pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances
will permit. Soon after the intentions of
Congress were made apparent additional
rural service was started from Branford,
Guilford and Milford, Conn; Moorestown,
and Riverton, N. j.; Antwerp, Highland,
Philadelphia and WATERFOWL, N. Y: Mari
eta and Poland. o.. Muncie, Ind; Rogers
vile, Morristown, Greenville and Atoka,
Tenn; Brattleboro, VT, and Athol, Mass.
One hundred and fifty-seven petitions
from thirty-five States and Territories are
on file asking extensions of the service to
as many towns, and special agents
of the department are now in the field in
New York, New Jersey Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, North
Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas
and Colorado laying out additional routes
for this service. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath is endeavoring as far as pos
sible to distribute the additional appropria-
ton authorized by Congress among those
States and Territories where the existing
facilities for the distribution of the mails
by free delivery are the poorest. With
this end in view he has had a tabular
statement prepared showing the population
of the different States served with free de-
livery under existing laws (Which restrict
the regular free-delivery service to cities of
10000 inhabitants or $4,000 gross receipts),
and the number of people in each State
who receive no free delivery at ALL These
fables show the following number of per-
sons are now absolutely without free deliv-
cry of mails, except where furnished in
spots by experimental rural free-delivery

cable with equal or greater force to all

sent her organized militia into the field,
and those regiments were not supposed to
be largely made up of poor men with fam
lilies dependent on their labor for support.
We think that if the facts were known 1t
would appear that not only the Pennsyi-
vapia volunteers, but those from all other
StdteS, consist chiefly of unmarried men
from families that were not dependent on
their earnings. There has thus far been
no emergency calling for or fully justify
ing the enlistment of men whose absencal
would plunge their families or other de-
such enlistmentS have occurred in all the
States and in this District, and, although
they are the exception, not the rule, their
aggregate is sufficiently large to neceSsi-
tate the generous activities OF the relief
association and the prompt response OF
the people to calls for aid. We do not
believe that there is a. community in the
United States that will permit soldiers
family to suffer or will give relief grudg-
ingly. And let it be borne In mind that
that the cause of their need is not dis
grace but an honor. If the husband and
father was carried away by a wave of
patriotic ardor and put country before
family his failing leaned so far to virtues
side that censure is drowned in admiral
ton.

SPECIAL TAX ON BANKS.
Assets Based on United States Bonds
Are Not Exempt.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE commits
sioner of internal revenue has held that, in
estimating the amount of special tax re-
quired to be paid by bank, based, as the
law requires, on capital and surplus, the
amount invested in United States bonds is
not to be deducted 1t is held that there is
no provision of law which warrants such
deductions. Inasmuch as the tax is not on
the bonds but on the business of banking,
the capital and surplus, which may. include
bonds, is taken as a basis for fixing the
amount of the tax.

of the robbers was wounded and his horse
was killed. The two men rode off on one
horse. Seven miles south of Andover they

HELP FOR SOLDIERS FAMILIES.
Care Should Be Taken to See that
They DO Not Suffer.
Washington Post.

The Philadelphia Bulletin makes an earn
est appeal for help for soldiers fam
lilies. 1t urges that patriotism and human
ity alike demand that contributors for
the work of the National Relief Asso-
citation shall be generous and continuous.
1t submits that. as the war lengthens the
savings accumulated by the men who vol
unteered in response to the Presidents call
are becoming exhausted. thus increasing the
need of liberal assistance.
All this is true of a very considerable
proportion Of the men who have taken up
arms in this war 1t is but repetition Of
the story of all our wars. for we have
always depended mainly upon the citizen
soldiery for the defense of the Nation's s
honor and the integrity of the Union. and

well-to-dO. But we hope the Bulletin IS In
error in its assertion that most of the

whose earnings were the chief support 81

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE commits
sioner of internal revenue has held that re-
ceipts used as checks to draw money from
banks are subject to the stamp tax. 1t is
said that several banks in order to avoid
the stamp tax are accepting receipts for
cash, which, according to the letter of the
law, are exempt The commissioner. how
ever, has decided that under those circum-
stances receipts to all intents and purposes
are checks and therefore must be slammed

Our little daughter, now fifteen months old,
was troubled from her birth with Eczema.
Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break
out with red pimples, the parts afflicted
would swell and become terribly infamed,
water would ooze out like great beads of per-
spiration, finally this would dry up and the
skin would crack and peel of. She suffered
terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her
hands to keep her from scratching. We gave
two of our leading physicians good trial,
but neither of them helped her in the least.
purchased CUTIcURA SOAP, CUTIcURA (oint-
ment), and CUTIcURA REsoLvEysr, and COM

ing wiped her with a soft linen cloth, applied
CUTIcURA (ointment) freely, and gave her tho
REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once
and is now never troubled. although we have
used less than one bottle of REsoLvENF, threa

short summary of the platform
adopted follows:
The platform which was adopted af-
firms that the present war with Spain is
Just and righteous, and recalls with pride
the persistent support or the cause by dem
ocratic senators and representatives, con-
graduates the country on the universally
patriotic uprising which has swept away
the last vestige OF sectlonallsm, reJoices
in the heroic deeds OF Dewey. Bagley and
Hobson. The platform favors such per-
manent strengthening OF the navy OF the
United States and coast defenses as shall
insure adequate protection against foreign
aggression; liberal pensions are advocated
for the survivors OF the civil and present
war. The platform favors the construction
and control OF the Nicaragua canal by this
government when its feasibility shall be
determined. but opposes a loan or the ma
tional credit 10 any private corporation for
that purpose On the financial question the
platform afiirms with emphasis loyalty TO
the platform adopted by the national dem
ocratic convention In 1896 In Chicago in
favor OF free and unlimited coinage OF both
gold and silver The platform declares
against the declared purpose OF the pres
ent secretary OF the treasury TO apply the
gold standard policy more thoroughly.
The tarif plank reasserts the democratic
doctrine that all tariff taxes shall be laid
for revenue as their sole object and pur-
pose, and especially denounces and con-
dennis the high prohibitory rates OF the
present republican tariff. commonly called
the Dlngley bill
The election OF United States senator's by
the people Is emphatically favored.
Mr.. Bryan was thus Endorsed:
I'VE express our undiminished conf
dence In William Jennings Bryan. our
peerless leader in the national campaign
OF 1896, and we note with much qualification
his patriotic course In leading to the de-
tense OF his country regiment OF citizen
soldiers"
The platform also commends the course
OF Senator Turpie in all public affairs.
