The Stamp Agencies Abolished.

There have been for several years in
stores in various parts of the city,
which have been Of great convenience
for parties wishing to buy postage
stamps without being obliged to go to
the post office. For the selling of these
stamps the agents We're paid a small
sum quarterly for the trouble and ex-
pense necessary in carrying the stock.
When the post office appropriation
bill came up for the present fiscal year
commencing. today. by some failure the
item for the remuneration Of the stamp
agents failed to appear i'm the bill, and
as consequence the appropriation
was carried without this being en-
bodied in it. The consequence is that
there will hereafter be no stamp agen-
cies in the United States unless a flu
ent action and appropriate money
enough to pay the same. The only au-
thorized places outside of post offices
where stamps can be obtained are at
sub-stations which are minor offices in
large cities.
1t has always been the custom at
druggists and news stands to keep
stamps for the convenience of their
patrons. 1t is probable that as these
ctamns apanciac have haan abolished
this custom of keeping stamps for the
convenience of the customers at vari-
Gus stores will be rapidly extended.
These stamp agencies We're very
great convenience to the Augusta pub
lie. but in their loss they are suffering
the same treatment as is accorded in
every other place and does not by any
means apply to this locality alone.

SCARLET FEVER AT WATERWILE.
Several Cases Reported Homes Guaranteed
and No Spread Feared.

Waterviile. Me. June 30-(SpeciaD.-
There are at the present time seven
houses in the city under quarantine from
scarlet fever, and 1t is the belief of the
board of health that there are other
cases which have not been reported
1t IS not easy to determine where the
sickness started. The disease is scattered
all over the city. At the Plains there are
two cases under quarantine, and there is
one case each on High, Toward, Pleasant,
Water and Nudd streets.
The board of health is having more or
less trouble to lind ont where all the
cases are, as ii is believed that all the
cases are not reported. One or two peo-
pie living in the vicinity of some of the
cases have reported that there are cases
in their vicinity and that there is no evil
dence that the cases have been reported
to the board of health Every attempt
is being made by the health board to stop
the further spread of the disease.
1t is not believed that there will be any
increase i'll the number of cases, as ev-
erything points to its being stopped where
it is. The schools are not in session and
for that reason there is less liability
than usual OF the disease being spread 10
other families.

by those who have seen it that it is
very fine.

There is a wellfoundsd report in cir
CulatiOn that the hog cholera is raging

stood that Il other hogs of the herd
that ii is feared are infected, have been
turned out to pasture.

said he had been notified of the dis
ease.
The cattle commission remarked
the commissioner to a reporter, for
merly had the power to examine swine
and to regulate their handling and
sale. But a few years ago this was
taken away and only horses. sheep and
cattle We're left us. Thus, we have no
power to take action in this case. how

Il used to have a large number of
swine" continued the commissioner,
"and for a long time l studied their
