A NEW FIELD


The society of Spiritualists, of which
the late Florence iarrvat was a MEM
Der, reports that there is a reason to be-
lieve that Miss Marryat intends to die
tate a novel which will he JOsthumous
in more than the conventional sense.
Here is a field for enterprising publish
ers to cultivate. 1t is impolite but
necessary to state that the remarkably
long list of Miss Marryats novels is
quite adequate. But a publisher who
could establish a working line of COM
munication by which he could get hold
of rest of Denis DuvaP or weir of
Hermiston," or even THE Mystery of
Edwin brood" or THE Dolliver Ro-

a new play by Shakespeare, would find
that he had struck a golden medium.

was finished by a Vermont medium in

MAURICE THOMPSON DEAD.

RAWFORDSVILLE Qnd) February
15.-Maurice Thompson, poet and novel;
list died at 1925 o'clock this morning.
He had been unconscious since $3.50
o'clock last night. At that time sti
mulants, upon which he had lived for
several days, could draw no new res
ponse from his fast-ebbing vitality, and
Mr. Thompson lapsed into a seeming
sleep which was really only the final
symptom, disclosing the fact that he
had succumbed in his long struggle
with disease.
The end came as peacefully as when
a child falls into slumber. There was
no sign that the fine intellect of the
sufferer was conscious of pain. The
members of his family stood weeping
silently at the bedside They had
known since Monday that he could not
possibly live for more than a few days.
Mr.. ThOmpsOn's new novel, announce
ed by Lippincott, is his only unpublish-
ed work, although two other publishers
are announcing reprints of earlier
works.

Chief Clerk Ball has been In the rail-
way-mail service since May IL. 1880.
He tossed mall in railway postal car
for years, and worked his way to the
head OF the mail service between Pitts
burg and ST. Louis. the second largest
branch OF the service In the United
States.
II think It was In 1888 or 1884," Mr..
Ball says. that the postal business
made profit, From the year 1t was
established, up to that time, there had
been deficiency every year. AS soon
as there was a profit Congress cut the
cost Of sending a letter. Before that
reduction the price was cents for a
half-ounce. The reduction WAS to 2
cents. Tho day 2-cent postage went
into effect people throughout the land
began writing letters In greater num-
Der. l do not remember that the year
following the reduction showed any
perceptible difference In the volume of
mail handled In the railway service,
but | do know there was a gradual
increase every year after that time and
In recent years the increase has been
enormous.
ITO cut the price Of sending letter
through the mails to cent will mean
to swell the volume Of letters all out
OF proportion to the present number
that people are writing. 1t will cause
a new age Of letter writing, both In
business and private correspondence.
One OF the bugbears Of the railway
mail service now II the scireular-busi-
ness letter that commercial houses and
corporations Of all kinds send out The
letters are unsealed, carelessly address
ed. and are tedious for postal clerks to
handle. With 1-cent postage believe
the old business circular will become
thing of the past"

TWO LOVES OF A SAILOR.

And song o. the Sea sang he.
He sang a song OF mariner bold
And his sweetheart 80 trne-the sea.
Sing no, 70 no, sing hey!
Ger crested pillows, thro dashing
spray,
With sails a-bulging she scuds
away;
Away, away DER the waters gray
Away through the dying day!
Sing no, sing hey!
Oh, the mariner bold his ain love pressd
TO his heart and her sweet lips kissed
Sweet lips that swore they would Ger be
true,
When he sailed away + the mist.
Sing hey, oh hey, yo no!
Through the singing tops the wild
winds blow,
Into the dank mists the ship doth go,
And the mariner sings as he rolls be-
low,
my love will be true, trow!'
Sing hey, 70 no!
Oh, the lassie ashore forgot her man,
But his sweetheart, the sea. proved
true
She lulled him to rest on her heaving
breast
And her white arms about him threw.
Sing no, 20 no, sing hey!
He went to his one true love that
day,
At peace in her arms for e'er and
aye
Less lasting the lassie's peace, they
