FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Order May be Issued soon---Cannot Act
In the Capacity of Agents and Solicit
tors Longer.

Washington, July POSTMASTER
General Smlth is considering the adj
visibility of issuing an order forbid
ing rural free delivery mail carriers
from acting in the capacity of agents
or solicitors for any commercial
firms whatsoever. It appears that a
large majority Of the rural carriers in
many sections have become agents for
large mail order houses in the cities
and that they make practice of soli-
citing patronage kfor sthe firms they
represent from the people to whom
they carry mail. A howl has been
raised by Village merchants, as well
as by the little crossroads dealer.
against the practice, which, they .al-
lege, is running their trade. In adj
ditlon to the injustice wrought upon
the local dealers the depar tment is
alive to the fact that the carriers are
prone 10 neglect the serious and I'M
portant business of carrying the mail
safely and quickly, and, further than
that. it is maintained by the officials
of the department that the carriers
receive sufficient compensation with
out the necessity of resorting to pri-
vate business for the augmentation of
their salaries Should the order be
issued, and there is every reason to
believe that it will be. it will be
sweeping in its nature. The solicit
tatlon for purchases of merchandise
of all kinds will be forbidden as we'll
as the sale of mail boxes by carriers
and the solicitation of subscriptions
for all periodicals..
In short bartering of all kinds will
be suppressed once and for all on
PAIN Of absolute removal.

HISTORIC HARDWOOD.
President Is Asked 10 join the As
ISOLATION and WIN DO SO.

Mr.. Edwin Fairfax Naulty, of
Philadelphia, representing the Board
of Regents of the Washington Manor
Association had an interview by ap-
pointment with President Mckinley

the membership of the board. The OBJ
ject of the association is the purchase
and preservation of Hardwood, COM

Samuel Washington. James and Dol
" Madison were married in the house

King of France and a son of the Mar
quis Lafayette were sheltered there at
various times. George Washington
also spent his summers there. Presi-
dent Mckinley showed much interest
in the project and wished it success.
He promised to take the question of
membership i'll the board under con-
sideration and the understanding is
that his reply will be favorable. The
object of the association, Mr.. Naulty
says, is entirely patriotic. An effort
will be made to secure the place and
preserve it. as has been done with
Mount Vernon. The purchase price
Sl30. 600 Will be raised by popular sub
scrlption. A number of wealthy men
have promised contributions.

of Delaware; Henry Clews, of New
York Admiral Dewey, Lieutenant
General Miles, Inspector General

SCHOOL LEVY FIXED
Al 81 Ia Cents on the 500 by city
school Board--same as Last Year
commissioners Meet In shirt
xvafsf STYLE


If anyone thinks that the coatless
or shirtwaist man is an undignified
person he would have had that
thought dispelled TO some extent by
attending the meeting OF the City
School Board Monday. All present
discarded their coats and transacted
business with dispatch, which scores
another point for the shirtwaist man.
President Wellinger was in the
chair and Commissioners Paulding,
Evans, Tabler and Whetzel were
present.
The levy for school purposes for the
year beginning July, was fixed the
same as last year--62 ] Y cents on the
800, 81 1-2 cents for the teachers
fund and 20 cents for the building
fund
The valuation this year amounts to
81, 152, 5G8, which is s42, 1875 less that
the valuation OF last year.
The amount needed for the teachers
fund is estimated and compared with
the amount expended Tor the past
year as follows:

THE PIERPONT STATUE.
Being Made In Pittsburg by mr. Frank
lin simmons the sculptor WHO'S
Quite Famous

Franklin Simmons and wife. Of
Rome. Italy, are in Pittsburg, guests
Of Mr.. William Siviter. Mr.. Sim
mons i a famous American sculptor,
and his mission In Pittsburg is to
model the head Of Mrs. Sviter'
father, the late Francis Harrison Pier
pont, for marble statue, to be placed
in the Hall of Fame, in the Capitol
at Washington.
The statue was ordered by the West
Virginia Legislature at its late ses-
sion, in honor Of the memory of the
father Of this state. In such cases it
il customary for the sculptor to do
the important preliminary work in
the presence of the family, where
he tan be aided by photographs and
other articles in their Possession in
order that he may thussbe better en-
abled by their criticisms and sugges-
ton. to secure more striking like
ness than would otherwise be pos
sible. Later the cast will be taken to
Rome where all the work for the
statue will be done. 1t will probably
require two days to complete the
work.
Franklin Simmons ranks among
the foremost American seulptors. Mr..
Simmons is an American, having
been born in Webster, Maine, Janu-
airy II, 1889. He received his early
education at the public schools and
later attended Bates College. Early
developing taste for art, with
a strong leaning for sculpture, he
did some preliminary work in por-
traiture in Maine. The winters of
Il 6J-1s66 he spent in Washington and
had sittings from such notable men
as Admirals Faragut and Potter ;Gener-
ais Cant, Meade, .Sheidan, Sherman
Thomas, Hooker and others equally
ponlinpnt. In 1868 he established
himself in Rome where, for most of
the time, he has since resided. He
has executed more than hundred por-

in 1898 was knighted by the King of
Italy.
Some years ago Mr.. Simmons model
ed a bust of John Pierpont, grand
father of j. Pierpont Morgan a
kinsman of Governor Pierpont, and
in his present work he is nually
reminded of the striking resemblances
between the two subjects.

TRY TO SAVE CHECK BOOKS.
Legal Proceedings Likely 10 he Taken
by Banks Against Treasury

The retention of non-retention by
the Internal Revenue Bureau of
check books surrendered for redemp-
ton of the internal revenue stamps
imprinted on the checks is still being
agitated by bankers, and the prob
abilities are that illegal proceedings
will be instituted at ar early day TO
enioin the commissioner of internal
revenue from destroying the books
surrended and alsosto compel him to
retain them with stamps Cancelled
but the books themselves uniniured
1t is pointed out that the government
gains nothing by destroying this Iri-
vate property and that when the Old
check stamps of thu civil war tax
were redeemed the stamps were sim
ply cancelled and the books returned
to Il Ell owners.
The commissioner is acting under
the law of July 81 1894, which re-
quires J. auditors to preserve vouch-
ers, aud the act of May, 1900, which
requires that all stamps to be re-
deemed be returned for redemption or
reason shown why they can not be
returned. 1t is held that under this
latter law the banks can make aft
davit of the value of the books and
send in their sworn statement instead
of the books. So far all checkbooks
turned in have been delivered to the
destruction committee for maceration
or burning.

Mr.. Kneisley appeared Monday

of regulation wagon that is used in
all the cities, and with fine looking
horse and new harness makes fine
show. The wagon is somewhat heav-
Ter than the wagons used by the form
err contractors, but in appearance it is
credit 70 both the Postoffice De-
partment and to the city.
The new mail mes ienger also wears
one Of the gray caps worn by all
uniformed men in the postal service.
His contract with the Government
is for four years. The practice of

which made sub-contrcts has been
done away with.
The retiring contractor. Mr.. p NJ

Uncle Sam and was very popular with
everybody.

of 1880, and was numbered l,002, ia.
The scroll work was bad and the paper
very thick and the impression is from

The perspective is bad. The picture
of the frontiersman and of Andrew

but is otherwise good, and, what is
unusual in counterfeits, the numbers
are not crooked.
