RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
How Its Efficiency Can he Aided by
the peOpie.

the People.
In quite number of districts which have
obtained rural free delivery service a de-
sire has been manifested to have the ser
vice turned into d house-to-house delivery.
The Post Office Department officials have
been compelled 70 reply to all such letters
to the effect that such a course was neither
contemplated by Congress nor justified by
the appropriation. In replying to one of
these letters Acting Postmaster General
Heath said:
Many persons served by rural free de-
livery desire the carrier 10 go to their resi-
dences, which may be a considerable dis
lance off the main road, when the design
of the department is to have some cooper
alton upon the part of the patrons. This
may be secured by those living out a dis
placing boxes upon the main road. Thus
the carrier instead Of going off the main
thoroughfare to deliver mail to the houses
will be enabled to serve great many more
patrons. Where the patrons on the route
live near the main road the carrier can
readily deliver to the houses. In relieving
residents of agricultural districts from the
necessity of riding all the way from two to
ten miles a day to the post office to get
their mails the rural free delivery service
confers a benefit upon such communities.
which it confidently expects will be met by
corresponding advances upon their part, in
the way of facilitating the service"

APPEAL OF A UNION VETERAN.
Arrested by the Russian Government
and Imprisoned Without Cause.

and Imprisoned Without Cause.
The President has been appealed to by
Adolph Llpszyc, veteran of the civil war.
to intercede for him with the Russian gov
eminent and obtain pardon for him. The
appeal was made to the President on Deco
ration day by Lipszyc, who bears many
wounds and was brevetted in 1863 a first
lieutenant for gallant services in the Union
army.
The petition sets forth a state of facts
illustrative Of the extreme position taken
by the Russian government in its treat
ment of such of It's citizens as become
American citizens. The petitioner recites
that he came to the United States from
Russia in 1858, served in the civil war and
was afterward a clerk in the executive de-
partments in this city. In 1886 he went to
Russia to obtain his portion of his fathers
estate. He was arrested, his passport ana
pension certificate taken from him and he
was tried and convicted, not of any offense
committed in Russia, but on the charge
that he had become an American citizen
without the consent of the Russian gov
eminent. Secretary of State Bayard and
United States Minister Lothrop maintained
that this was in violation of treaty stipu-
lations and that the United States would
never consent to recognize the right of a
nation to deprive naturaiized citizen of
his rights.
Notwithstanding this declaration nothing
came of the protest, and the Russian gov
ernment banished Lipszyc and deprived
recites that he thinks this an auspicious
time-during the disarmament congress
TO obtain pardon and thereby obtain his
portion of his property. -

Tax on stock Certificates

The internal revenue bureau received a
large number of inquiries as to the truth of
the statement which, 1t is said, has APP
Feared In a number of daily papers, to the
effect that a 25-cent stamp is no longer
required on assignments on the back of
certificates. Acting Commissioner Williams
has replied that the Office has never made
such a ruling, but holds that If power of
attorney Is executed in connection with any
transfer of stock, is usually the case, a
2o-cent stamp is required because of such
power. However. where no power of at
torney is executed. there is. of course, no
power of attorney to be taxed.

of Filipino actors now detained at San
Francisco to enter the United States for
the purpose of giving exhibitions They
will be required, however, TO furnish a bond
that they will return to their homes after
the expiration of their engagement. This
case has been a difficult one to decide be-
cause of the fact that these Filipinos came
to this country under contract to give ex-

they are not contract laborers within the
