He is unable exactly to explain how the ac-

worked with him five hours before he was able
TO move a muscle. They say he VIII never re-

MIR. RAYNOR'S ARGUMENT
The testimony having been closed. Mr. Raynor
in few words called attention TO the fact thar
three statements made by the witnesses had not
been denied He wished it distinctly understood
that there impeachment here OF the ad-
mirars integrity. his capacity his eminent
qualifications. and not the slightest criticism OF
any remarks ne made at the time. He had a per-
feet right TO talk about this matter and 70 come
to his conclusions but the question remained
is the admirafs mind such a condition that N
throws upon Schley's counsel the burden of proof
to relieve his mind OF prejudice that he has
against that side of the case?
MIR Raynor asked the court il it did not think
that the condition OF the aGmirals mind now IS
this: That unless he hears something 10 the con-
trary, Admiral Sampson the cOmmander-r-
chief on that day. and Is entitled 10 the credit

Counsel then reviewed In detail the testimony
given and the fact that Admiral HovSison's state
n,ent was guarded, and did deny many ma
te:lai statements OF the witnesses.
Nc Raynor. having referred Mr. NichOIs's
ststefaent as TO what admiral Howison had said
concerning Schley and the English Navy and also
coaling at sea, Admiral Howison interrupted with
positive disclaimers that he could have made

stale, and dailies were useless. Now

noon on every week day. It's getting

receiving the munificent salary Of $500
per year. They sort part of their mail
early in the morning before starting,
and part Of it they sort enroute. Each
carrier travels twenty-seven miles, stops
to gather and deliver mail at $50 boxes
and transacts business with fifty people
every day. He is wofully underpaid

form in the service should come in the

Why are the merchants in the larger
cities interested in the rural mail de-
livery in distant counties? For the rsa
son that their mail orders from each oi
these communities have increased four
fold. 1t may be that tbs merchants in
the rural towns sell less goods, or it may
be that the farmer on the route buys
more than he did year ago, but the
fact remains that with his mail deliver.
ed every day he finds it convenient to dc
business with mail order houses. This
furnishes point for argument between
city and country merchants as to the
desilability Of rural free delivery.

RURAL DELIVERY.
F. A. Harrison.
(For The Courier.D

Rural mail delivery is in operation in
many parts Of the state, and Of its sue
cese and popularity there is now no
question, yet the average inhabitant of
the city or town knows little or nothing
of the new system which is bringing 50
many Of the farmers into daily touch
with the outside world.
A sample community is Pawnee City,
a county seat town Of 1000 inhabitants.
Running out from Pawnee are four
rural routes, the first having been es-
tablished in June Of last year. and the
last two in January of this year. The
routes aggregate 100 miles in length.
and deliver mail to 3.O75 people, cover
ing a territory Of LAG square miles.
This is one-third the area Of the county,
and practically one-third Of the entire
population.
During the month of March, 1901,
there were handled on the four routes
22,539 pieces Of mail. indicating total
for one year of 27O.46S pieces, an aver
age Of 40 letters and papers for each
family. Since the establishment Of the
routes THE average has largely increas-
ed. One item of increase has been in
daily papers. In a community where
there was one daily paper taken a year
ago, now there are twenty-five dailies,
and this ratio of increase will hold good
on all the routes.
Money orders may be purchased OF
the rural carrier. who is made the agent
Of the farmer desiring to send money
away. The application is made out,
the letter is carried to town unsealed,
and the money order is made out and
placed in the letter at the general Of
fee. This is convenience quite gen.
orally taken advantage of, as is shown
by the increase in the money order
business Of the Pawnee City postoffice.
During the year ending April 1st. 1900.
there were issued by the Office 5000
money orders, while for the year end
ing April 1st, 1901, the number was
4632, an increase OF 1912. Registered
letters may also be made out and sent
by the carrier. but there has been very
little increase in the registry business.
There has been perceptible increase in
the sale Of stamps at the city office,
most Of it due to the rnral routes.
The farmers living along the routes
purchase their stamps Of the carriers.
A patron who has letters to mail, and
has no stamps. awaits the carrier, buys
stamps and hands over the letters.
Many Of these letters are written to
other farmers along the route. These are
cancelled by the carrier and delivered
on the same trip. 80 that the farmers
are placed in closer touch with each
other az we'll as with the outer world.

me Of the many advantages Of the rural
system. He said: "First and foremost,

Much has been said Of late in regard
to the responsibility Of society toward
the consumptive. In New York City
the Stony Wolde Sanitarium society is
doing great good in sending poor con-
sumptive patients to a proper climate
and to location where they will have
proper care. Auxiliaries are being
formed all over the city and work has
now attained such proportions that ef-
fective results are seen. Doctor Alfred
Meyer, at a recent meeting OF one OF
these auxiliaries, gave some encourag-
ing statistics: "Twenty-ive years ago
consumption meant death. Now twen-
ty-five or thirty out Of every hundred
incipiert cases which have hospital care
are cured and forty-five or fifty more
are able to return to wage-earning."

JeMeled Lace.

Long years ago 1t was the custom
both In Italy and France for lace col
lars and ruffs, hair nets. scarfs and
sashes to be jeweled elaborately with
precious stones. as many old portraits
conclusively prove. In the time OF the
directory however, when absolute sim,
pliclty led the vogue, the fashion for
wearing lace that was set with Jewels
died out altogether
1t has lately occurred, however, to
Mrs. Nevill Jackson, the authoress OF
"a History Of Handmade Lace" and
herself great lover of lace, that II
might be possible In view of the pres
ent admiration for real lace and ap-
probation Of its beauties. to revive this
picturesque fashion. That Mrs. Nevill
Jackson has every prospect OF seeing
the prompt fulfllment Of her project
seems more than likely, to judge from
the beautiful specimens of gem IN
crusted lace which were shown under
her auspices and direction at the Quest
gallery Here may be seen, for In
stance, yoke or square collar OF vene-
tian point lace, set with turquoises.
and Il bodice trimming OF brussels

hair ornament there Is butterfly of

monds and finished with sapphi.> and

Lace forms, after all, an ideal back
ground for precious stones Of every
color and kind, and when we admire
at the Quest gallery, as we faln must
do, n dainty fan of white lace, set with
turquoises, or n long scarf of black
chantilly, the ends of which are jewel
ed with diamonds and pearls, we can
only wonder that so beautiful a form
of ornamentation should ever have
been neglected or allowed TO fall out of
