LADY LETTER CARRIER.

Daughter OF . West Virginia Farmer
Enjoys That DIstinctIon.
Uncle Sam has formally received in
10 his service, as a United States mail
carrier, the ls-year-old daughter Of a
West Virginia farmer. Miss Dora
Wolfe had served q little apprentice
ship to the duties with which she Is
now oficially invested, by carrying the
mail between Ripley and Sandyville,
W. Va, during the illness Of the former
postman, and when the latter resigned
she made successful application for the
vacant position. The trip which she
must make daily-one journey each
way-between the above-named points
Is through q somewhat lonely region.
Miss Wolfe makes it upon horseback.
As her father, besides being farmer,
conducts a livery stable, she has good
mounts at her disposal, and carries
also two bags Of mail. People have not
yet quite accustomed themselves TO
the sight Of the young letter carrier as
she passes daily by their fields and
farm houses from her home at Ripley
and back again. No one would doubt
the chivalry of the West Virginian
mountaineers, especially when a hand
some girl is concerned, but Miss Dora
Wolfe always goes armed when she
transports the United States mails In
her charge, IL merely as a measure OF
ordinary precaution.

Curfew Law in Richmond.

The city council Of Richmond, Va.
is at present very much divided over
a contemplated curfew law. The ordi-
nance was introduced at the last ses-
sion of the council and it caused the
most heated debate. The question OF
constitutionality was finally raised,
and after a lengthy argument the or
dinance was finally referred to the city
attorney to pass upon its legality. The
city attorney was instructed that II
the ordinance was not constitutional
to frame one that was to accomplish
the same ends. The mothers and faith
ers and the children Of Richmond are
very much interested in the proposed
law and nearly every one in the city
has lined up for or against the ordi-
nance.

eialO-There are few men and women
IN this state or indeed in the whole
northwest, who have not heard. or do
not know personally Mrs. Henriette c.
Olberg of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge OF Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair. at
Chicago, and Superintendent or Flax
Exhibit at the international EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. Mrs.
Olberg is Secretary Of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor of the 'Distaff.
Her Official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve a great deal OF
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago, my official duties so taxed my
strength, that / thought l would have
to give them up. Through the con-
tinual change Of food and irregular
meal hours, and a poor quality Of wa
ter, ! lost my appetite, and became
wakeful and nervous in the extreme.
Ny Kidneys refused to perform their
usual duties. One of my assistants
advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and sent for a box. / am pleased to
say that l derived immediate and per-
manent benefit. l used three boxes,

flcacy Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am
always glad to speak a good word In
their favor.

Revolution In Automobiles.

Anew automobile has been invented
by a Russian named Hutal Serky. He
has discovered a new system OF loco
motion based on the use Of a certain
kind Of salt, the composition Of which
is as yet his secret. Two pounds OF
this salt placed in the box Of the au-
tomobile and subjected to a certain
heat forms a gas which puts a cylinder
in movement. The automobiles that
were tried in Moscow produced the
best results. The emperor Of Russia.
who takes great interest in this inven-
ton. intends to send Serky to Paris
to make known his secret. The Rus
sian press is of the opinion that it Will
cause a great revolution in the trade.

dangers the Holland has shown
her ability to crawl up to the
larger ships, deliver her missile
OF destruction and then move
away to q place Of safety to
watch the result Of her work. II Is
During the maneuvers Of the L
deets on Newport recently
many attacks Of different sorts -
were tried for the purpose OF 4
developing the usefulness Of the
several classes of vessels employed.
Night attacks on the forts and run
ming the blockade were the favored
maneuvers. Then came night attack
by the torpedo boat feet upon the
blockading squadron. Most OF these
little vessels were picked up" by the
powerful rays from the searchlights OF
the battleships and quickly put out OF
action. One after another these fral
craft fen victims to the guns OF the
larger vessels. With the Holland it
was a different story. With less than
half the speed and equipment OF the
surface torpedo boats, this submarine
wonder moved from her position in
the inner harbor and, while running
on the surface, passed near enough to
three Of the hostile feet to have ended
their careers, and returned to her sta
ton without having been seen.
The methods employed in operating
the Holland are entirely different from
those used in any other fighting vessel.
She lies so low in the water while rrns
ming on the surface that little is ex-
posed to the searchlights, and when
the vessel is completely submerged
there is not even a ripple on the sur
face to indicate her whereabouts. She
is less than half the length and dis
placement Of the surface torpedo boats
and, while her equipment is less, she
Is better able to send her torpedoes
to their destination without fear OF be-
ing destroyed, as there is no way for
the attacked vessel to locate her.
While on the surface the motive
power used to operate the Holland Is
generated by a gas engine. and when

tain the man operating the diving
engine turns the wheel until the
horizontal rudders are in position
to carry the craft below the surface.
She is kept on "even keel" through
system of trimming tanks" and ais
by use OF the rudders. While sub
merged the vessel is kept on the de-
sired course by means OF compass
which is fitted in the coming tower
from which place the movements are
controlled by the captain. A system
of telephones and telegraphs to the
several sections is also installed in the
coming tower. In all, five men oper-
ate the vessel, being stationed, respec-
lively, at the engine. at the diving ap-
paratus, at the tanks, at the torpedo
tube and in the coming tower.
When Gin service" the vessels OF
the Holland type, carry FIVE Of the
smaller type Of whitehead torpedoes.
When ready for action. word is passed
from the captain to the men forward
TO place the torpedo. The cap over
the forward end Of the tube is closed
and the breech opened. The torpedo
is then placed in the tube, and the
breech is closed. The gauge is then
set and at the word Of command the
missile is sent on its mission Of de-
