ton today, had on board number of
men who are enroute to South Africa
to do some fighting.
Among them, was f. r. Burnham,
a scout who has seen much service in
the English army. Mr.. BuInham was
with Lord Roberts when the latter WAS
serving in India. When Lord Roberts
was called to another position, MIR.
Burnham left the service and went to
Waska. He has been there ever since.
When Lord Roberts was appointed to

Mr.. Burnham, and the latter is going
post haste to the Transvaal
Capt. r. e. Harris and his son
Felix, from San Antonio, said they
were going all the way to Africa "to
get in the scrap" They would not say

The Levy Court will not pay Coroner
Vandever's expense bill of $3.50. 23, sub.
mitted at the courts first meeting this
month. The reason the court will not
pay the bill is that its attorney, john
H. Rodney, in q written opinion pre-
sented at yesterday afternoons session,
decided that it has no legal right to do
80. Originally the coroner was paid
by fees specifically set forth, but these
were abolished by an act Of March 4th,
1879 when aslary of 81 200 was fixed
upon In lieu of all other fees. No
legislation has authorized the payment
of bills for hauling. hodies. AS to
an item of $40 for an analysis of St.
Botolph PILLS, Mr.. Rodney held it
should not be paid by the county |:
that as it was for the purpose of
furthering juetice and for the State,
the State should provide for it.

Postmaster Browne and his assistant,

Of business generally, the extension Of
the carrier service, the addition of two
sub-stations and the fact that the
stamp, money order and registry win
dows are now kept open at night,
whereas until recently they were closed
after general business hours. The peo-
ple are showing their appreciation o
this innovation by patronizing the
office during tho evening. Mr.. Browne
believes the growth in local postal bus
iness is natural and will continue.
The increase IN expenses is due to
the additional oarriers and sub-stations
and the natural growth Of the business.

CARRIERS r0 SELL STAMPS.
Postal Laws Prohibit Them From Ac-

cepting Money IN Lien OF Postage.
In order to accommodate people
living in the outlying districts CT the
city, Postmaster Browne has issued an
order, which goes in effect at once, di-
reoting that the carriers in those dis
triots be provided with postage stamps,
which they may sell to people on their
districts, provided the prospective pur-
chasers have the necessary change, and
do not prefer large money. The car
riers cannot bo expected to provide
themselves with much small n Q icy
therefore, it will be necessary for o
person who wants o two-cent stamp
from carrier to have two cents TO pay
him and not require him to change 10
cents or quarter, as he may not be
provided with change.
The order permitting the sale Of
stamps by carriers does not apply to the
business portion of the city, as the car
riers now have all they can attend to
with their regular work and cannot
take time to sell stamps. and people
living in the heart of the CITY do not
experiences as much difficulty in secur-
ing stamps as these in the residential
sections,
Complaints have been received at the
postofiice about carriers who have re-
fused to take for mailing unstamped
letters and money with which to pay
fol- the stamps. 1t is not generally
known, but, nevertheless, is a fact,
that carr iers are net permitted to take
money in lieu of postage, when they ac-
cePt letters for the mails. Therefore,
it will be seen that it is no lack of a
desire to accommodate people which
prompts them not to receive the money.
They are prohibited by law from TAX
ing it, The law governing the matter
is as follows:
Carriers are required, while on their
rounds. to receive letters prepaid by
postage stamps handed them for mail
ing, but should not delay their deliv-
cries by waiting for such letters. They
ale forbidden to receive money to pay
postageon letters handed them for mail
ing. They should also receive other
small articles of mailable matter prop
erly prepaid, but are not required to
receive packages cumbersome OIL nc
count of size, shape or weight, espec-
tally when 1t would interfere with their
regular box collections or delivery"

Daniel l. McOolley, OF No. 235 Frank

showed Tuesday night, and il was more
pronounced yesterday. It is sup
posed that the case owes its origin to
the fact that DR.. McCollsy has been
attending smallpox cases.
In speaking Of the matter by tele-
phone to a reporter, he stated that it
had been his custom to see the small
pox patients last, and thus avoid the
danger of possible oontagion to other
patients. The doctor has dropped his
practice and is quarantined at home.
He is open to receive Telephone calls.
His parents and trained nurse with
his wife make up the other inmates Of
the house.
He reports that his wife is very COM
Portable.
One Of the attending physicians, in
speaking of the case, said that from
Dr. McColley's statement that he visited
his smallpox patients last and then
went home, there should be no danger
to the patients the doctor had seen
earlier. Mrs McColley has mild case
of Yarioloid.
