ANCIENT STUTTGART.
Postal and Travelling accommodations Of
the Old German City.

=
the Old German City.
The post relations of ancient Stuttgart
were unpretentious The two maid.
servants Of the postmaster distributed
through the city the daily letters, which
they carried in the same basket with the
family marketing. Letters were carried
out of the city by Positions. There was
number Of couriers, and as surety
against mistakes there hung in the post
office, beside the curious mail bags. IL
huge whip, with which, when the com.
mission had been given to the courier, .
powerful blow for the strengthening Of
his memory was dealt him.
Coaches and post wagons were inno-
cent Of any suggestion Of comfort-a
high, clumsy wooden box was secured
by thick leathern straps, and in the
cavernous bottom were confined together
packages and passengers. Up and down
vehicle ratified on its way, the hapless
travellers being ever on the defensive
against the assaults Of tumbling boxes
and bundles. And then the weary SLOW
ness Of the ,!ay! Formerly the journey
from Stuttgart to Tubingen was made
in ~ hours. The same journey is now
made in four hours. The Positions
alighted to take refreshments when it
pleased them, and one traveller has left
dismal record Of q journey that he
once made. during which the driver
took the horses from the carriage and
attached them to hay wagon that had
been left mired in the mud. The man
drove the wagon into the next village,
and when there he joined the grateful
neighbors in carousal. while the tired
passengers languished OH the dusty
country road.-Elise J. Allen in Har-
per's Magazine.

the Journal from Topeka. Kan, says: 'Dr.
c. H. Wetmore has rendered his resigna-
ton as superintendent of the State Insane
Asylum at Topeka to Governor Leedy and
the State Board of Charities. Accompany
ing the resignation was letter to the Gov
ernor in which DR.. Wetmore gave his rea-

tells Of deaths of patients from neglect.
speaks Of the alleged instances of drunk

openly charges subordinate officials with
attempting to ruin pure women. These are
only few Of the sensational charges made

POISON ON POSTAGE STAMPS
Girl Made Ill and Twin Brother At
fected Sympathe ticaIly.

PARK RIDGE, N. j., Oct. 9.-Miss Irene
Cole who lives here and is employed as
stenographer and typewriter in Hoboken, is
suffering from poisoning and two physi-
clans agree that her illness is the result of
moistening postage stamps with her lips.
The first symptoms were felt two weeks
ago, when Miss Coles lips began to swell.
and since then the swelling has extended to
her neck and into one of her arms. A
rather singular feature of the case is that
her twin brother, who has not been using
postage stamps or anything else that would
poison him, is suffering from symptoms of
poisoning in precisely the same manner
his sister, his lips, neck and one arm being
affected. Miss Cole is eighteen years old,
and always enjoyed good health until her
present affection came Two weeks ago her
employer dictated a great many letters.
the following day Miss Coles lips were
swollen, and she could not account for it.
She consulted Dr. VroOm, of Ridgewood,
who ascribed it to the postage stamps and
treated her accordingly. The girl went to
Ridgewood, visiting the home of her par
ents, and round the whole family i'll from
typhoid fever Then she went to the home
of her uncle, Alonzo Campbell. She did not
make much progress toward recovery and
sent for Dr. Near, who also said the post
age stamps had caused the poisoning. Miss
Coles condition is much improved to-day,
and, what is more remarkable her brother,
who has not been treated for the poisoning,
but for typhoid fever, also is much better.
The idea is advanced that the symptoms
of poisoning shown by the girls twin
brother are Of a sympathetic character.

something awful TO look at. The way the

We had doctors and went to the dispensary
without any result. By using part of a bottle

Council for Relief From the Blackstone.

South Worcester People Petition CITY
Council for Relief From the Blackstone.
The people of South Worcester who
live in the vicinity of the Blackstone
river are kicking at the condition Of
the stream, especially that part Of it
just south of Cambridge street, and
they have brought the matter to the
attention of the city council in the fol-
lowing petition:
1.-THE undersigned, residents of South
Worcester. believing that nuisance
exists in the present condition of the
Blackstone river, especially in the vi
entity Of Holmes street, in consequence
Of which the health of the locality is
materially affected, do petition your
honorable board to ascertain the cause
Of such a condition as at present exists
at this point in said river, and take
such action as may be necessary to
abate the nuisance
This petition was considered at a
meeting of the committee on sewers,
yesterday afternoon, but the commit
tee decided that 1t had no Jurisdiction
in the matter, and voted to refer the
petition to the board Of health to in
vestigate and report means of abat-
ing the nuisance. If a sewer will ac-
complish the desired result, then the
committee on sewers will grapple with
the question
At the committee meeting 1t was
voted to recommend the construction
Of several catch basins in various parts
of the city
