SALOONS AND posroFr,cEs.
Tho Law Does Not Allow Them to He Run
Together.

Section 430 of the postal laws and
regulations forbids the sale of liquors
In the same room or building with II
postoftice or in any room or building
connected with n postoilice. This Is
an inexorable rule of the department
and has never been enforced with so
much severity as under the present
administration. While Postmaster
General Gary is not fanatic or even
n teetotaler, he is very strong in his
temperance views and will not permit
whisky selling to be mixed up with
the business of his department. He is
quite as vigorous in his opposition 10
the appointment of men who are en-
gagged in the liquor business. No man
who sells whisky has been appointed
to office under his administration TO
his knowledge. If such eases exist he
would be glad TO he informed of the
facts. And if any reputable citizen
will notify him of any postOfiice that
is connected with or even adjoins u
saloon. or of any postmaster who sells
liquor. nn inspector will be sent i'm
mediate!y TO make an Investigation.
and II he finds the charge to be true
there will he n vacancy In the service
Immediately.
The other day n complaint of this
kind was made and the Inspector re-
ported that n saloon was maintained
In basement under a postoffice. The
postmaster was directed to inform the
owner Of the building that the saloon
must he closed within thirty days or
his lease with the government would
he Cancelled. The member of Congress
from that district appeared very
promptly with a protest. but when he
admitted the fact the postmaster gen
cral would listen TO no argument, and
by the advice Of the congressman the
saloonkecper was ordered to vacatc
the premises.
Another case occurred even more re-
Gently In Iowa. where the rear door
of a postoiiicc opened upon an alley
Immediately across from the rear door
OF a saloon. Complaint was made
that the postmaster and his clerk oc-
casionally stepped over to take n
nip" II was also complained that
loafers from the saloon were In the
habit of coming into the alley and COS
siping with the postmaster through
the rear door OF the postoffice. These
facts being reported by an inspector.
the postofiice was ordered removed TO
another building.

The following "episode" will prove n
very clever puzzle as n test Of the abil-
ity Of people to pronounce readily and
correctly many common words OF their
native tongue. The list, which con-
iains no words Of disputed prounucla-
tion is as follows:
An interesting inquiry took place in
the court Of oyer and terminer some
time ago. Indisputable evidence was
given toward proving that n heinous
Incident had taken place during pub

an extraordinary head of hair, like an
AlbinO, represented Thnlia and sat on
Il pedestal erected on one of the floats.
The procession was directing Its course

The OnlOokers was drawn to the excited
conduct of one of the spectators who
had fixed her eyes upon the tiara, set
with Jewels In the form OF carat,

duced n hiatus In the crowd. and thus
obtained precedence of all. Simultan-
eolisly with her appearance the van
drove past. She then filled the air with
gross raillery and began to promulgate
Anarchism, society's lack of probity,
and the general prediction of politi-
clans for patronage. Then she besOught
her audience to hear her dllate on the
glaciers of the Alps, the ruins Of Pom
peii, the female franchise, the
Pleiades, and her patron saint. She
was evidently demenied. and the flow
,f her vocables appeared endless. Sud
denly she raised pcstle which had
been hidden under her shawl. and

fense was that vaccine, whose pres

forded by the month just ended 1t
opened warm, became quite cool to-
wards the middle and closed pleasant
The extremes in temperature were not
as great as in September a year ago,
the maximum this year, Sept. I'd. be-
ing So degrees, and the minimum 40
degrees, on Sept. II. Northern Wis
consin suffered from frosts but little
damage was done in this section. The
mean temperature at the Washburn
observatory at Z a. m, was 57.9 de-
grees, at 2 p. m, 706; at p. m, 63.2.
The total precipitation for the month
was 2.43 inches. The prevalent winds
were from the south. Ten days were
cleary, 8 rainy Z cloudy and - partly
cloudy.
September, 1897, beat the record for
warm weather. Not in twenty-seyen
years, according to the records at the
Washburn observatory, was there in
southern Wisconsin such a continual
ton of heat. During the first sixteen
days of the month the maximum tenn
perature was over 20. During the
same period of time the minimum
temperature never fell below 81 On
twenty-five days the maximum
temperature was never under 20 de-
grees. September was the warmest
day of the month, the maximum tenn
perature being 80 The coolest day of
the month was the 18th, when the
highest point touched by the mercury
was 81. In September, 1896, the
warmest day was the I'd, 500 degrees,
and the coolest the Goth, SIP degrees.
The rainfall during September, 81
was only little over a third what il
was in the same month the year be-
fore. In '96 it was 4.29 inches; in 81,
4oo1a inches. Curiously enough the
maximum precipitation during the
month occurred on the same date each
year, the 10th. In 1897 it was "a of an
inch, in 1896, SO.
Last year % days of September
were clear, cloudy and / rainy. In

cumbency OF the presidential chair,

scheme is to establish a clubhouse

anything of its kind in the east. The
land has been purchased for this I'M
dertaking, over $50 acres having been
secured. for which So 200 has been
paid, and there will be no delay in
eGuippng this place with whatever is
necessary to attract the fashionable.
Roads and bridges VIII be built, golf
links laid out a charming clubhouse
reared, and money spent without stint
to make it a worthy abiding place for
the winter guests, whom the former
president and his partners hope TO see

DAMAGED BY TIDAL WAVE.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. A Brunswick
tGal special says during the tropical
hurricane Sunday tidal wave was
driven in from the sea and inundated,
for an average depth of five feet, prac-
tically every business house and ware
house in the city The property loss
will reach at least 100000 In the
residence section Of the city the water
was from two to eight feet deep. There
was a full sweep of wind and water
from the ocean into and across the
city. Two fatalities in Brunswick and
one a few miles out of the city have
been reported, all negroes. At Jekyl
island where the club houses of New
York millionaires are situated, much
damage was done. Five small vessels
went ashore in Brunswick harbor. On
the decks were thousands 80 Feet of
lumber, cross ties and Ma. :.
which were washed away. Nearly all
the docks were damaged Several
fronts of brick buildings were blown
partly out and the rain damaged the
interiors. Every church in the city
was damaged either by water or wind.
The loss to railroads has been consid-
cradle. Communication cannot be
fully restored for a day or two. The
flood has now pretty much subsidized.
