On one of the rural free delivery
routes in Maryland the other day a
strange man was noticed riding with
the regular driver. It was the assist
ant postmaster at Toronto, who had
been sent here by the Canadian post
master general to investigate u new
~ inaugurated but rapidly extending
rural delivery system. The promptness
with which enterprising men jump
from one country to another in search
of improvements when they hear of
them is notable. Nova Scotia already
has some rural delivery routes. and it
would not be surprising If a United
States Official appeared there before
long to look them over. The inter-
change of ideas, helpful to both coun-
tries, was SO popular as it Is
now. Far away Australia has given
It's ballot reforms, and-for some Of our
states-a new system of land transfer.
New Zealand has also made Its cor.
tributions.

Cnanimously Reelected President
Pro Tenn of the Senate.
Washington, March 8.-Senator WILL
lam p. Frye Of Maine yesterday was
reelected unanimously president pro
tempore Of the senate to serve during
the pleasure of the senate. This is the
second time Senator Frye has been
honorcd by his colleagues. Five years
ago, on Feb. z, 1876, the Republicans
then being in a minority, he was
elected unanimously. His services as
president pro TEN, especially since the
death Of the late Vice President HQ-
bart, have won for . him the cordial
appreciation of his fellow senators Tor
his able and impartial administration
of the post. At yesterdays session
Mr.. Morgan Of Alabama, concluded
his speech in support Of his resolution
declaring the abrogation of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. His perora-
ton was really pathetic. He a de-
voted the best years Of his official life.
he said, to advance the construction
of the Nicaragua canal, but now ne
did not expect to live to see the WORK
upon the great waterway begun.

Various state societies have accom-
plished so much good in the way OF
preserving and marking places OF
scenic and historic interest that con-
gress has been asked to create a ma
tional society. The Companion has
already mentioned the rescue Of the
Palisades. In Massachusetts, most OF
the spots conspicuous in colonial and
revolutionary history have been
marked by suitably inscribed tablets,
and similar work is in progress in Vir-
kinia. Such efforts make a strong ap-
peal to the imagination; they also
perform a national service in keeping
the patriotic deeds Of the fathers before
the eyes Of the children.

on the blanks was this: Length or

understood the question and returned
sucL answers as "20 by 40,'' "76 feet"
and the like. Albany, N. Y, is so cut
up over the fact that the census shows
q falling of in population that the
local enumerators are being roundly
denounced as drunken men and incom.
petents, and a recount is demanded.

celebrated his 10th birthday. At the
time he was born there were only a
few log houses near the mouth Of the
Chicago river, and he saw the first
frame house built. His first playmates
were children Of the Po~tawatomies.
Winnebagoes and the Sacs. His ia
Their represented John Jacob Astor's

ways filled with pelts traded by the

New order Of Things.

Miller, S. D., March IL. - At last
the first families Of this part of the
state are beginning to look with sus-
picion upon the strangers who are
trying to neighbor with them-immi-
grafton has started and the newcomers
are buying the vacant land that the
first settler has used for q small
rental these many years. Many an old
settler wakes up to the fact that the
quarter he had leased. and which he
had expected to buy some day, has
been purchased of the Eastern owner
by an Fastener, and the stranger
comes along unexpected. This is caus-
ing the original settler to buy instead
IF renting the adjoining quarters.

Saltwater, MIMI, March IA pris-
on guard, whose name Warden Wolfer
does not wish to divulge at present, is
locked up in the county jail here on
the charge Of aiding Edward Leland,
a notorious convict at the prison, serv-
ing a ten-year term for robbery COM
mitted In Minneapolis, in attempting
plicated in the affair, n being a wo-
mar. A clever scheme was concocted
which Warden Wolfer succeeded In
nipping in the bud. According to re-
ports, the guard, together with a
former guard and Leland's paramour,
had been planning the escape Of Le-
land for some time. The guard ar
rested is said to have received nearly
$500 to secur Leland's freedom, and
it was to be done early in the morning.
When Leland came from his cell to
enter upon his duties in the dining
room the guard was to give him a
key which had been made in st. Paul
to fit the cellroom door leading to the
yard, and Leland was to escape over
the wall by means Of a rope ladder,
where his paramount would be in wait
ing with a team to convey him safely
away from the prison, and
Aid Him In Getting Dat
of the country. Leland has been a
clerk in the prison Irvine factory, and
notes are said to have been passed by
the guard both to and from him. War
den Wolfer say a search was made Of
his desk, but nothing was found ex-
cepting bits of torn paper in the
waste basket, which were pasted to-
gether and are said to reveal all the
plans. Warden Wolfer first became
suspicious one day last week when
Leland's paramour came here and was
met after leaving the prison by the
guard who, it is said. had spent much
early in December. Last Thursday
the guard had a bogus telegram de-
livered to min at the prison, stating
that his sister was dying. He left for
St. Paul, where he was kept under
close surveillance by officers and was
arrested yesterday on a st. Paul and
Minneapolis interurban al by Cell
room Keeper Glennon, who had been
SEN after him by Warden Wolfer.
The guard was brought to this city
and placed in Jail. Warden Wolfer
says there are various reasons why
names should not be divulged at pres
ent. Some of the parties implicated
re presumably not under arrest.
