that orders were being booked for de-

Extension of Rural Free Delivery.

A Washington special says that the
success which has attended the rural
free delivery experiment has given rise
to general demand throughout the
country for additional facilities, and
accordingly Representative Stokes has
introduced a bill providing that such
mail shall be delivered by the star route
carriers. The bill provides that per-
SONS living along such routes may
erect boxes, aud on application to the
nearest postmaster may have their
mail deposited in the boxes without
additional charge, and the person serv-
ing the route must also collect mail
deposited in the boxes for the post
Office. The Postmaster General is au-
thorized to receive plans and devices
for special boxes with duplicate keys
for the carrier and the addressee.

The Case of C. B. L0hr.

G. b. Lohr, who has been engaged in
the practice of veterinary surgery in
this city, was summoned before the
police justice Friday morning on
the charge of violating the law gov
erning the practice of that profession
in this State. Having been refused
permission to practice by the State
Board of Veterinary Examiners three
years ago, he instituted suit in the
Supreme Court against the said board
to secure certificate granting him the
right to practice without the prescrib-
ed examination. The suit was decided
in favor of the board in November,
1898. Notwithsta nding this, he con-
tlnued the practice, and hence the
prosecution. In the trial in the police
court-the defendant, through his at
torney, j. Lewis Bumgardner, asked
that clemency be shown him, upon the
ground that he had not been informed
of the decision rendered by the court
last fall. Justice Landes dismissed
the case upon payment of cost, with
reprimand that the offense must not
be repeated. The only recourse the
accused has is to pass the required ex-
animation .and receive the proper
certificate.
MIR. LOhr claimed in his application
to the State Board that he was a grad
uate of the Toronto School of Veteri.
nary Surgery. This, however, proved
to be false, SO upon this ground and
other reasons, the board refused to
grant him the privilege to continue
the profession under the law, which
provides that only those shall be per
mitted to practice who, prior to the
first day of May. 1896, are practicing
veterinary medicine OF surgery in this
State, and all those who shall there
after receive certificates from the State
Board OF Veterinary Examiners.

LOUIS WITT DEAD.

A telegram was received here Satur-
day evening announcing the death at
Aiken, s. c., of Louis A. Witt.
This news will carry sadness to
many hearts, for there are few young
men who have been SO universally be-
loved.
The deceased, who is son of Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Witt, was born in this
city 26 years ago.
At an early age he gave evidence of
studious tendency, and after several
years study, he graduated at the City
High School, standing among the first
in his class.
In 1892 he entered the academic de-
partment at the Washington and Lee
University in Lexington. During the
collegiate course he took a prominent
part in all college politics, being a
member of many societies, among
which is the Sigma M Greek letter
fraternity.
The degree Of Bachelor of Arts was
conferred upon him in '95. After this
he became student in the law de-
partment. AT the finals of '96 he was
coxwain in the Harry Lee Boat Crew,
which was the winning club for that
year.
In 1897 be graduated with the degree
of Bachelor of Law, being president
of his class. He then returned to his
home in this city and began the prac-
tice of his profession.
In this he continued only a short
while, for his health soon began to
fail, and in the latter part of the year
1897 he was operated upon in Balti-
more city for appendicitis. From this
he never entirely recovered, and
shortly thereafterwards be travelled for
long while through Texas and Mex
leo. On this trip he was accompanied
by his brother, Julius Witt. They re
turned from the Southern tour last
August. His illness having develope d
into extreme consumption, he
acted upon medical advice,
and left for the South, going to Aiken.
S. G. He was accompanied by his Sis.
ter, Miss Rosa Witt. His condition
soon became dangerous, and his father
left to be with him during his sickness,
Saturday morning a telegram was
received, stating that he was much
worse, and his mother and his brother
julius left on the afternoon train, but
had gotten only as far as Charlottes-
vile, when they received notice of his
death. They returned to the city last
night.
