Death 0! Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Ward.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Ward. widow of
the late John E. Ward. died suddenly
of apoplexy, Monday morning at y
O'Clock, at her late residence on School
street. She had suffered for many
years from a complication of diseases
which kept her closely confined to her
home.
Mrs. Ward was born in Winterport.
Maine, on Jan. q. 1885. and was the
Oldest of a family of Il. She had been
a resident of this city for over 40 years,
during which period she was an es-
teemed member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church.
Mrs. Ward lived as a highly respect
ed member of the community, and will
be greatly missed by her many friends
and neighbors. Among the relatives of
the deceased are her only sister. Mrs.
Nellie NJ Richie of WinterpOrt. her
daughter, Mrs. Scott A. Simpson OF

SHORT PAID LETTERS FOR HAWAII.
How 10 Save Inconvenience 10 Your Friend
ia Those Islands.

1t appears that there is a general mis-
understanding relative to the amount of
postage to be paid on letters to the Ha
waiian Islands mailed in this country.
Observation has shown the government
that a very large proportion Of the let
tiers addressed for delivery in Hawaii are
ort-paid; that the amount Of postage
paid is at the domestic letter rate of two
cents per ounce.
Apparently this misunderstanding arises
entirely from the fact that letters direct
ed to soldiers or sailors in the United
States forces are forwarded at the domes-
tic rate, but this does not apply to any
other persons in Hawaii. Hawaii is still In
the Postal Union as a separate country
and not part of the United States.
and the rate of postage applicable to let
ters going to persons in Hawaii. with tn .
exception only of those in the United
States forces and where the address
shows such to be the fact. is at the rate
Of five cents per half ounce. Ii that rate
be not prepaid in full, double the amount
of deficient postage is required to be col
lected of the addressee upon delivery
which is an annoyance to the sender and
receiver of the letter and leads to many
MISUNDERSTANDING in the postal service.
An example of what is meant by t,,e
above is as follows: A letter weighing
not more than half an ounce and prepaid
only two cents would be subjected upol
delivery to the addressee in Hawaii to
charge of six cents. or double the three
cents short paid. II the letter weighed
nearly an ounce and over the half ounce.
and the rate of two cents. being the do
,nestic rate, were paid upon the same 1t
would be subjected to a charge of -ixte1n
cents on delivery to the addressee; that
is, the correct prepayment on an ounce
letter would be ten cents, and double the
amount deficient would be sixteen cents,
1t is very desirable that pasfons Of The
20 slufHce havin., friends relatives q: c''r-
respondents in the Hawaiian Island;
should thoroughly understand TINS -act.
Much trouble exists on account OF inc
confusion of the domestic rates applying,
as we have shown, TO soldiers and sail
ors' mail and not to ordinary citiz9iS
This is largely augmented by the TACT
that Porto Rico and the Hawaiian and
Philippine Islands are possessions .: the
United States and Cuba practically 50.
AMI a very large proportion of the public
under these circumstances fails to real
ize tnat the mail service In these va-:'us
possessions is run on provisional basis
and nearly separate from the domestic
service; and until thoroughly organized IS
part of the service of the United states
and the rate of postage vi undoubtedly
remain as if foreign country. BY the
examples shown above. our readers will
readily see that inattention to the RUE
of prepayment at proper rates will cause
considerable loss of money to the ad-
dressee. and very often considerable de-
.ay, especially if letters are to be -or~
warded to new addresses, arises from
tic holding of letters for short paid POST
