SPANISH SYSTEM SUPERSEDED.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The United
States postal system has been adopted
in it's entirety on the island of Cuba
by a decree promulgated by Director
of Posts R~athborne, at Havana. The
action was urged by Mr.. Rathbone
and authorized by a cable message of
Postmaster General Smith after full
consideration with the president and
cabinet. 1t is a complete substitution
of the Spanish postal scheme by the
American system and applies to all
money order and registry business and
stamp sales. 1t reduces letter postage
rates to those in use in this country.

Portugal,s Good Queen.

New York Herald: Queen Amelie, the
wife OF the King of Portugal, is one OF
the many good women who now occupy
thrones. The story is we'll known OF her
that In order TO deal with the ill-health
or her husband through obesity she has
studied medicine, passed her examination
and taken the degree OF M. D., and thus
become the only queen M. d. at present
an existence. And be II always remem-
bered that she took her studies not only
seriously, but In the most democratic
manner. She attended classes at the Uni
Sersity of Lisbon, walked" the hospitals
FOR some time, and 1t Is reported that she
has on various occasions practiced her
profession In cases Of emergency and
among the poorer of her subjects.
Queen Amelie has another accomplish
ment. She is n born milliner and has a
room set apart at the palace, where hats
and bonnets are continually in progress or
construction. And thereby hangs a pretty
and pathetic story. once while out driv-
ing in the streets of Lisbon she observed
a large crowd surrounding some object.
The queen sent the footman 10 see what
was the matter, and when he reported
that a young woman had tainted she i'm
mediately left her carriage and had the
unconscious girl brought to a neighboring
shop, and personally attended her profess
siohally. The queen a the young
woman removed to her own home, had in
quiries made about her, and learned the
poor girls history. She was a milliner,
and, having failed to get employment, had
ventured TO undertake work on her own
account for the support of herself and her
Invalid mother, but with so little success
that she was nearly starved.
Queen Amelie sent at once some neces-
stiles and commanded the girls presence
at the palace. Here she received her In
the work room. and handed the poor mil
liner three bonnets OF her w creation.
Take these as models. call them 'bonnets
Amelie,' and tell your customers they are
made after tho queens own f~ashioning.'
Her majesty wore herself one of the iden-
teal bonnets. and commanded her ladies
TO do likewise. Within two months the
once starving girl could take larger prem
ises. n today she is herself an employer
of over 200 women.

CORRUPT CLERGY In MEXICO.
Archbishop i'm Disgrace for Gross
InCapaCity in Office.

The Suns Rome cablegrsm says:
cat the beginning of this year some
stir was caused in Vatican circles by
the discovery, made accidentally
through the perussl of q Mexican news
paper, of widespread apimosity to the
church in the repu bile, due chiefly to
:he alleged corruption of the clergy.
Cardinal Rampolli started searching
investigation, ordered all Mexican
bishops to report fully on the charges
and last month summoned the arch
bishop of Mexico to Rome. The arch
bishop insisted that newspaper re-
ports were malevolent inventions of
the anti-clerical press, but he had to
admit that grave scandals had &C.
Cured in several provinces by the in
discriminate sale of indulgences and
other illicit methods resorted to by the
clergy of all ranks to increase their
incomes. The arch bishop is now in
disgrace, for it is evident that he has
shown gross incapacity, and it is not
improbable that he will be removed.

between France and Russia warranted

to make the change, because the

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT has once
more come to the froRt with ringing
words of patriotism and hard sense. In
an interview, published below, he
makes it very clear that in spite of all
the efforts of enemies of the admins
tration to make it appear otherwise
the president is determined that the
officers for the new regiments shall be
selected solely on ground of their fit
ness and without any regard for other
considerations. With regard to the
general situation in the Philippines the
colonel said some pretty hard things
about the men who have been opposing
the government in it's efforts to bring
peace to the islands, beginning
with the senator's who voted against
the peace treaty. and the legislators
who refused to give the president the
troops he needed on the terms he
wanted. With Roosevelt all patriotic
Americans can truly say that the ad-
ministration deserves unbounded cred
it for the steadfsst manner in which it
has pursued its course of duty not
outstanding the bitter and un-Amer-
loan attacks which have been made
upon 1t in order to hamper it's work at
q critical time. -

the trust, and the members of the
board say they will preach the sermons
themselves first. Thus it will be seen
that this trust may be good thing,

either result in gaining fair price to
