Free Rural Delivery ut Tinmouth.

The system of rural mail delivery
which is being tried in Tinmouth is prov
ing a success. The delivery is made
from Wallingford. The people of the
town are very enthusiastic over the new
system, and the postmaster at Tinmouth
is about the only person who seems to
object. Under the present system the
letters picked up are taken to Walling-
ford pOstoflice. where the stamps are
cancelled. This greatly decreases the
revenue of the falmouth office. One
carrier distributes the mail through the
greater part of Tinmouth. He starts
from Wallngford in the morning soon
after the arrival of the mail train which
leaves Rutland at 20 o'clock. His trip
Is about n miles in length, and he re-
turns to Wallingford before noon. The
carrier distributes and picks up mail.
sells postage stamps, and in short, runs
a kind of travelling postoflice. The
system of rural mail delivery is also be-
ing tried in Bratteboro and Grand Isle
with great success.

Rosa Bonheur, the famous animal
painter, is dead. Rosa Bonheur was born
at Bordeaux in 1922 and was instructed
by her father, an artist of talent. Her
principal studies, however, were from
living models, which she represented
with admirable skill and fidelity. Having
previously executed several pieces of
great merit, she exhibited in 1850 1.-The

her masterpiece and has obtained place

Dewey viii lie Home October /.

WASHINGTON. May 2G. - Admiral
Dewey telegraphs the navy department
that he will stop at various places on his
way to the United States and will reach
New York about Oct. l. Admiral
Dewey's dispatch did not tell the points
where the Olympia will touch on its way
to New York. 1t may be that an effort
will be made to ascertain these for the
benefit of the officials of some of the
ports, especially along the Mediterranean,
who may desire to take official notice of
the visit to their ports of the distinguished
naval officer and his famous flagship
Some of Dewey's friends in the navy de-
partment suspect that the admiral is
purposely evading statement of his
itinerary, desiring to avert, as far as
possible, all demonstrations. Most of
Admiral Dewey's time before his return,
it is expected, will be passed in Mediter-
ranean ports, principally at Malta and
Gibraltar, and, if he purposes coming by
the southern route, the Olympia will
touch at the Azores and Bermuda.

MAY HAVE AUTOMOBILES SOON.
PRESIDENT GEORGE J. BALDWIN
OFFERS AN INDICTMENT.

Edison Illuminating Company Win
Furnish Free Power for "A Year for
the First Automobile Introduced
in savannah-The Automobile Now
Practically Perfected and the Only
Obstacle to Its Use Is the First
Cost-Mr. Baldwin Predicts That
They VIII Soon BE in Use in Sa-
Vannah.
''The Electric Illuminating Company Will
furnish the power free for year for the
first automobile introduced in Savannah"
said President George ]. Baldwin of the
Edison company yesterday.
Mr.. BALDWIN was asked If he thought
there was any likelihood of automobiles
being introduced IN Savannah at any time
in the near future.
Certainly l do he replied. why not?
The automobiles have now heen practically
perfected and the only thing that stands
in the way of their general introduction is
the cost. A light automobile for pleasure
purposes, similar TO a buggy, costs about
$500. An automobile for delivery purposes
would cost about 81 100. Notwithstanding
The cost have no doubt but some enter
prising citizen will place the first automo-
bile on Savannah's streets within a years
time. In fact, 1 would not be surprised to
see several here within year."
THE impression that the automobiles
can be operated only on smooth pavements
is an error said Mr.. Baldwin. They
can make good time over cobblestones and
! can be operated on sandy streets also,
| though, Of course, not quite so rapidly as
| on paved streets. The power Is furnished
| by means of storage batteries and the cost
| is about one 10 one and half cents per
| mile, according 10 the amount OF weight
| carried. The cost would be little If any
| greater than that of operating an ordinary
| delivery wagon"
| Mr.. Baldwin said that he is serious in
! his proposition to furnish free power for
| a year for the first automobile introduced
| in the city. This affords an opportunity
for some enterprising business man. 1t
| would be a big advertisement for the bus
| mess house that first put one in operation.
| People would trade with the firm just for
| the pleasure of seeing the automobile stop
! at their doors, and with free power for 4
year it would soon prove paying invest
ment.
Savannah's level and well paved streets
are especially favorable to the operation
of automobiles. Savannah's people are
| conservative, but when they discover a
good thing they so in for all they are
| ting a hold in Savannah, but when the
/ safeties were put on the market Savan-
nah soon became the bicycle town of the
| South few years hence il may have
as great a reputation for automobiles as il
now has for bicycles.
The Suburban and West End Railroad
has not yet given up the idea of running
automobile cars on its line. Mr.. S. l.. Lag
aron was to go 10 New York about this
time for the purpose of examining auto
mobile appliances, but he has been detain-
ed owing to the illness of his father al
Ashvilie, n. c., where he is now in attend
ance at the bedside.

MIR. ALLEY DENIES RUMOR.
There Were No Pistol shots in the
Custom House Shades.

Mr.. G. w. Alley, of Alley & Kelly. was
somewhat wrought up yesterday over the
report that had been circulated that a pis-
tol had been several times fired in the
bar conducted by his firm on the night
before The report was current and was
given in the Morning News for what it
was worth.
Mr. Alley says that he was standing in
the bar with several others when the pis-
toll was fired and heard the shots. They
appeared to him to come from some point
between his place and Bryan street but
he saw no one by whom the disorder
conld have been caused and was never
able TO locate Just where 1t had been com
mitted He is certain that the shots were
not fired in the bar, as those present at
the time were al well known to him,
standing in his close vicinity, and not al

a public place or anywhere else, Besides
this. certainty that he derives from a
knowledge of the characters of these gen
tlemen he is assured that had any one of
them fired the pistol he would have been
able to see it.
The reports of the pistol attracted quite
a large crowd and caused some excite
