The announcement is made by the
department at Washington that the re-
grading of postofices this year, which is
made to take effect on July /, will show
greater number of increases in salary
than ever before The pay posimasters
below the highest grade is determined
BY the amount Of business done at their
respectivs Offices. A considerable eleva-
ton in grade, therefore, shows a marked
increase in the use Of the mails by The
public This is confirmed by figures Of
the receipts of the department to date,
which show an increase of about S15,
100000 from the average of recent
years
The report of DR.. Joseph R. Owens,
registar and treasurer Of the Maryland
Agricultural College. submitted at the
recent annual meeting of the Board Of
Trustees, indicates that the financial af-
fairs of the institution are in excellent
shape. By direction of the Finance
Committee of which State Treasurer
Shryock Is chairman, several depart
ments of the college have been combined
thereby saving about $4,000 over the
expenditures of last year.

In a translated article, under date Of
January 20, 1899, Consul Nelson, Of
Bergen, Norway, says: "A recent edi-
ton Of an American newspaper contains
an article on the horse meat trade 10
the United States The article says
that tbare is a large factory Of horse
meat at which the inspectors rarely, il
syer .all, as the firm has given guaranty
hot to sell horse meat 10 any form 10
the United States.
1t is known, however, that this firm
shipped large quafti;ies of horse meat
to Norway where ii is much sought
after as delieaey This delicacy-to
say the least shout its of a rather
doubtful nature; for, according TO the
newspaper referred to. old horses and
mules are used for meat purposes. The
meat Is cut. salted, packed and then
shipped to Christiana.
The newspaper officials have tried to
ind out more about his trade We
know for certain that large amount Of
horse meat is imported from America
and England 1t is cut into pieces,
sailed little, and packed in barrels
quantities Of this meat arc used in sau-
sage factories Il is impossible 10 IN
spec this meat properly or 10 ascertain
whether it comes from sick or dead
horses Then, again, as this meat is
cut in small pieces, barrel can contain
both good and bad. In only q
a few cases are the recommendations o.
the health authorities obeyed with regard
to these "delicacies. "
This is evidently very dnjusti6abl'
method Of procedure. The best anC
most natural way would be 10 forbid the
importation Of horse meat, but if we d.
not carry the matter so far, we ought t,
take some other measure. There should
be a health certificate on all kin Is o.
meat, and this should be signed by tn,
/ Norwegian consul. Furthermore, til,
meat should not be imported in small
pieces. and not less than one half or on,
fourth Of the animal should be admitted
Continuing, Consul Nelson says; "a
copy Of the above was referred to th,
Department of Agriculture. The De
partment says, in reply: 1.-THE meat o
horses is entitled to the same inspection
as that of any other animal in this coun
try. If the Government Of Norway i

A BOY KILLED..

Son Of Dick Hicks Killed by h OARS
Between Butte and Boxeman. .
A telegram was received in this city
Sunday from Stock Detective Dick
Hicks, who was il Butte, stating that
his son had been killed between Butte
and Bohemian Saturday night. The
boy, who was about ~ years Of age,
had been living with his mother in
Bohemian. A few days ago lie ran away
to Butte to look over the town, and his
father went to that city to hunt him.
The lad started home Saturday night,
apparently to evade his father. III
some manner, unknown here, he was
thrown from the passenger train and
killed.
