A MAINE POSTMASTER.
Undertakes Contract. Without the Sanction
OF the New Administration.

All the mail matter dropped in Au-
gusta postoffice addressed to East
Surry, Me-, a small village four miles
southwest of Ellsworth and all letters
and papers addressed to Augusta
mailed in East Surry for some years,
have passed through the hands of Mr..
or Mrs. j. G. Gray. When MI. Gray
unlocked the mail bags and shook the
contents or locked them up for the mail
carrier to convey them to the depot
it mattered not to him whether the
letters were harbingers OF peace anu
Joy, missives containing regrets or con-
dolences or ordinary dues for long over
due accounts, his object was to get
through the task as soon as possible, as
easily as possible, and to sit down ana
rest, for his back ached and every
movement of his arms brought him
pain. Very concisely he states below
what he considers was the cause of it,
how he tried to get rid of it, and finally
what agency he employed to radically
root out the trouble Mr.. Gray says:

Grand Public Meeting

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 24.-The National
Council of Women began it's executive
meeting, today, with business ses-
sion and formally opened, this after
noon, with public meeting in the
First Congregational church. Most of

year shall sit in two houses. 1t was
finally left to a committee.

| address of welcome was made by Mrs.
| A. j. Sawyer of Lincoln, president of
| the Woman'S department of the EX-

A meeting was held by the National

were made by Mrs. Adams of Dubuque,

| many others covering the practical

with by the Jewish women in affilia-
! ting with the State Federations of

| difficulty is due to clause in the con-
situations of the State declarations
barring out those women who owe al

gambolled around the 80 mark for
an eXasperating length of time,
and on Tuesday tho weather bu-

long hoped for change. Never
was the weather more eagerly
watched, and great was the disap-
polntmcnt when the appointed
time passed by, leaving the mer-
curry still frisking in the region Of
the nineties. This morning at

The condition of the cotton is
discouraging, and the continued
and remarkable wet weather must
have the effect of greatly reducing

port that the cotton is rank and

while much rotting has taken
place. Water has stood for a
week or more in the burrows, and
picking is almost impossible.

The Cake Walk.

The first entertainment of the
theatrical season was unique in the
history of the Greenyiile opera
house, The attraction was "A cake
walk, the managers and perform
ers being exclusively negroes and
the entertainment attracted what
is believed to have been the Iarg-
est audience ever gathered in the
opera house. In fact, not only
was the rare notice of standing
room only" displayed, but the
doors had to be closed and admit
lance refused to great numbers of
disappointed people, both white
and black. The affair was the
most unqualified amateur success
ever seen in Greenville, and the
audience are unanimous in express
sions of approval and appreciation.
The auditorium was equally divi-
died., one-half being occupied by
whites and the other by negroes,
and the assemblage included the
best people of Greenville, ladies
and children being present in great
numbers. In the very large negro
population of GreenWlle there are
of course many who are educated
and prominent among their race,
and the performers were selected
from among the best and most
respectable social element. While
the cake walk was full of fun,
there was no hint of suggestive
ness or immodesty, and it was
entirely free from any feature
which might have been adversely
criticised. In dress, manner, and
cleverness, many of the perform
ers were a revelation to their white
audience. The following couples
