A TRAVELLING POST OFFICE
One OF the Latest Experiments OF
the Government being Tried
In Maryland.

The first real travelling post Office"
started on its rounds this month in
Maryland. says Youths Companion.
IL is II stout covered wagon. manned by
u driver and postal clerk, when will
cave the town OF Westminster every
weekday morning. make a circuit Of
more than 30 miles through the sur
rounding country and return TO West
minister at night.
There are eight village post offices on
the wagons route. The travelling post
master will carry mail TO them and re-
ceive it from them. His wagon is fitted
with cases and pigeonholes. SO that he
IAN assert mail while he travels; and he
will deliver mail 10 all residents along
he road who will take the trouble TO
put up letter boxes or to wait for the
wagon" He will be authorized, more
over. TO sell stamps. register letters
and issue money orders, ana. Il rail-
road town being the terminal Of his cir.
cuit. the con- junction of the travelling
cost office and the railway niailcar will
bring the farmer and the outside world
very near together.
Ills travelling post Office is. We need
hardly add. one Of the experiments by
which the government is trying TO
solve an imperative pre- blem-thai Of
"ural mail delivery. If the plan sue.
cecds long step will have been taken
coward the adoption of Il reform which
'veryone approves. and which is de-
aged merely because no one has des
used practicable way TO carry it out.

 CONTESTANTS FOR FUTURITY STAKES Little Choice to be Found in the
 List of Entries. NOT A STAR IN THE BUNCH David Garrick Carries Too Much Weight to Make Him Dangerous -Chacornac Will Probably
 Be the Favorite
NOT A STAR IN THE BUNCH

New York, August 25.-The rich Futurity, worth about S5O,000 this year to the winner, will be run at Sheepshead tomorrow, the opening day of the fall meeting. The number of entries on the card is 22, just one less than the Futurity record, but it is not certain that all these named will go to the post. and it is hardly probable that there will be added starters The race is an extremely open one, not only because of the large number of probable starters, but because of the uncertain quality of the field. No one of the entries has done any thing impressive, although a number of those that will start have been working in excellent form the last few days. The Futurity course is 170 feet short of six furlongs straight away, and Ogden holds the record of 1:10, made in 1896.
 Going over this years candidates, there is not star in the collection, meaning that here is not horse that has shown a de- cided superiority over another. David Gar rick, recently purchased by Pierre Loril- lard, and winner of the great trial stake, is asked to pick up 15i pounds and win, which as a 2-year-old, he will find difficult task. The proDable favoriate is Caacornac, purchased today by James R. keene from James Rowe. He did an impressive five furlongs yesterday in 1:1413. Doublet, son of Domingo, who will carry 126 pounds, won the Juvenile stakes at Morris Park, and early in the season looked though he would be one of the best, but his work during the season was not consistent and he is not viewed with much alarm.
 Of the horses that are asked to pick up 122 pounds Plucky has been a constant performer and is an improving colt His best race was his defeat by Mesmerist in the First Attempt stakes at BrisGton. Plucky's best record with weight up was six furlongs in 1:16A.
 Virginia Earle and Muzette the latter having only appeared twice in company so far have made fast trials, while Jim Boden's Okette is accredited with work of 1:14b at Brighton Wednesday. The en- tries, with jockeys as far as known to- night, are as follows:
 David Garrick, Piggot, 134; Doubtlet, Spencer, 126; Gulden, Taral, 122; olcott, -, l22; Modrine, Buman, 122; Plucky, H.

BIRMINGHAM CUT
 OUT ON CHEAP RATES
Excursion to St. Louis from
 Montgomery and Mobile.
ROUND TRIP TEN DOLLARS
Go Were Forced to Pay Their Fare to Montgomery and There
 Board the Train

The Interstate Merchants association of the Louisville and Nashville, Mobile and Ohio and Illinois Central railroads from important southern points to that city. The fare for the round trip is $10. About the only southern city of importance left out of the list Is Birmingham. From Montgomery, Pensacola and Mobile the fair is s10, while passengers boarding the train at Birmingham must pay the regular rate.
 Several persons desiring to take advant- age of the low rates left for Montgomery yesterday to catch the excursion train which of course will pass through Bir- mngham. A circular gotten out by the In- terstate Merchants association and dis tributed in this section was sent to the Freight and Transportation bureau yester- day afternoon.
 Secretary Orem took the matter in hand for investigation and found the facts as stated above.
 "I went to the passenger department of the Louisville and Nashville" said he, "and asked if could not get one of the $1O ex- cursion rate tickets. I was informed that this rate did not apply to Birmingham. I then asked if they could not telegraph and get permission for me to board the train here. They could not. I asked if I could not telegraph their commercial agent in Montgomery and get them to buy me a ticket and place 1t in the hands of the con ductor They could not. This is another argument for a railroad commission elect ed by the people and vested with full pow er"
 The scheme of the Merchants association is this: They get the railroads to run the excursion. On the circulars sent out is a list of the firms having membership in the organization Merchants taking advantage of the excursion must purchase from these firms and have their return tickets endors- ed by them.
 Ptaces Excursion Applies To
 The cities to which the $1O rate applies is given by the circular as follows
 "The Mobile and Ohio railroad will sell round trip tickets from all points on their for the exceedingly low rate of s1O. Through coaches and seepers.
 "The Illinois Central railroad will sell round trip tickets from all points on their lines south of Grenada, Miss, also on the line of the Mississippi Valley rail road, Baton Rouge, La, to Greenville, Miss, to St. Louis for the exceedingly low rate of $1O. Through coaches and sleepers.
 "The Louisville and Nashville railroad will sell round trip tickets from Montgom- cry, Pensacola, Mobile. Scranton, Ocean Springs, Mississippi City, Pass Christian. Bay St. Louis and New Orleans for the exceedingly low rate of s1O. Through coaches and sleepers."
