RURAL MAIL BOXES.
Postmaster General DEGREES That People
Along Route Rust Buy Their Own.

Official notification from Washing
ton has been received throughout the
state that Postmaster General II. c.
Payne has decided upon new styles of
mail boxes for rural flee delivery and
that after October those persons
not complying with the conditions of
the order will nor receive the service,
but be compelled to go after their
mail. The inferior boxes now i'll
general use are frequently pilfered,
principally by children, and postoffice
inspectors are put to much trouble
tracing lost mail. Zach person en-
titled to free rural delivery must erect
the boxes at his own cost, by the
roadside, so that the carrier can easily
obtain access to them without dis.
mounting from his vehicle, and the
same box cannot be used by more
than one family, except in case of
near relatives or those residing in the
same house.
This order will necessitate the re-
moval OF thousands OF mail boxes in
the rural districts OF the United States
and will prove temporary boom to
the business of mail box manuiactur-
ers.
The order provides that firms or
individuals who propose to manufact-
ure the boxes should submit them TO
the examination of the special agents
of the district in which the factory is
located All boxes found to comply
with the requirements and speclfica.
tions of this order will be marked
"Approved by the Postmaster Gene
raj" and will then come under the
protection of the act providing for
punishment of those canght tamper-
ing with mail boxes. The rural
carriers are gwen explicit orders not
to serve persons who do not erect the
boxes. Postmaster General Payne
points out that experience has shown
that boxes opening at the side or top
are more convenient than those open
ing at the end.

STATE MUST BUILD 81 BRIDGES.
Over $4O0, 900 to be Spent in Replacing
Structures.

Pennsylvania will within the coming
year pay out between 100000 and
100000 for bridges destroyed by
floods and fires in the past six months,
as the law compelling the state to re-
place bridges across navigable sire cams
when they have been destroyed by
flood, fire, etc. is being invoked in
many counties.
When the bridge is destroyed the
county commissioners, through their
attorney, present request to the at
torney general asking for viewers, and
the matter is taken into the Dauphin
county court, which appoints the
viewers. If the report is favorable it
Is approved by the court and the mat
ter then goes to the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds, which sends
out engineers to estimate the cost,
and then the contract is set.
Engineers are now out examining
locations for twenty-o one bridges that
the state will build in various counties
of the state. The engineers now en-
gagged in preparing plans and specifi-
cations for the twenty-one bridges
are M. d. Bowers. Mahanoy City;
Herman Loeb, Pittsburg; Oscar
Thompson, Phenixvllle; Emil Swenn-
son, Pittsburg, and A. ]. Whitney,
Rome.
The cost of the bridges is from
$4,000 to $IIs,ooo each, and there
is apprehension that when the law be-
comes better known there will be
raid on the treasury. 1t is said an
effort will be made to repeal the law
at the next session of the legislature.

worth of her jewels, lies dangerously
i'll at the Hotel Grosvenor. She calls

DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS.
Damage Along the Mississippi of
Many Millions.


KEOKUK, Ia, July 21.-Exploration
of the flooded districts of the Missis-
sippi river from Keokuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of any but those of long eX-
perience with the Father of Waters in
its most destructive mood.
The situation is growing worse hour
ly, and a great conflagration in a great
city would not be more rapidly destruc-
tce of values. There is absolutely not
the slightest chance of stopping this
most costly flood in the history of the
great river above st. Louis.
Everywhere the greatest crops ever
known are under water deep enough to
ioat steamboat. People at the river
cities give accounts of losses aggregat-
ing many millions of dollars. Hundreds
of farmers rich ten days ago are penni-
less and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from the
statements of best informed people in
dicate the loss up to the present at
about $6,000,000, with every prospect
of $2,000,00O or $3,000,000 additional by
the rise above not yet reaching the low
er stretches of the river.
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between Keokuk and
Hannibal.

PARIS, July 23.-Riots occurred yes

WlLLTURN OUTRIGHT
Archbishop Ireland Satisfied
With Negotiations.
GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE PRAISED.
Sharp RebuIse For Those of the
Church who Have Questioned
the Fairness of the Adminis-
tration In This Matter.

ST. PAUL, July 23.-Archbishop Ire
land in an interview regarding the
progress of the negotiations conducted
between Judge Taft and the Vatican
took to task certain Catholic or
ganizations that had assumed to ques-
ion the fairness of the administration
,oward their coreligionists. The arch
bishop said:
Eyes, the news from Rome is quite
satisfactory and. | am sure, quite cor
rect. Private advices coming to me
from the most reliable sources confirm
in all respects the dispatches given in
the press. The sovereign pontiff and
other Roman authorities are delighted
with Governor Taft personally and

ports sent out by the correspondents OF
certain London papers to the effect that
the pontiff was displeased with the
manner of acting of the commission Of
cardinals appointed to treat with Gov
ernor Taft were absolutely unfounded.
As stated in this mornings Roman dis
patches, the pontiff assured Governor
Taft that he was most satisfied and
happy at the results so far obtained
and that he was confident the negotia-
tons begun In Rome would be the
starting point of a complete and salts.
factory solution Of the question under
discussion. This statement sums up in
the most exact manner the situation as
the Vatican views it and as it really Is.
And now it is to be hoped there will
be among certain classes of Catholics
In America cessation of movements
and declarations such as we have had
recent occasion to hear of regarding
religious matters in the Philippines.
The pope teaches those Catholics to
trust the American government as
they seemingly have been heretofore
unwilling to do.
I'm his conversation with Governor
Taft he expressed the highest esteem
for American methods of treating
church matters and remarked that he
had more than once pointed toward
the United States as setting an exam
pie well worth copying. His words
ought to signify something to those
who profess to take him as their leader
and guide.
The agitation, such as it was. in
certain Catholic quarters did no honor
to those who participated in it. AS is
now proven, they spoke and acted
without due knowledge and certainly
without proper regard for the govern
ment of their country. They should
first have been absolutely certain that
injustices had been done to their CO.
relgionists
There should have been no haste to
lay blame upon the government which
was doing its best to bring order out
Of chaos, and above all no charges
should have been made against the in
tentions of the government 1t was
rankest rashness and rankest injustice
10 intimate that tine government in
tended to proselytize in the Philippines
or to do aught to detach the inhab-
itants from the Catholic faith. To
know in the slightest degree Mr..
Roosevelt Mr. Root or Mr.. Taft is to
be certain that nothing of the kind
could have been thought of or could
have been tolerated. Never did there
reside in the White House man more
fair minded and impartial in religious
matters, more resolute to give all
classes of citizens the religious rights
granted them by the constitution and
to protect them in those rights than
Theodore Roosevelt. During his ad-
ministration it is unqualifiedly absurd
to imagine that governmental acts
could be such as to deny or impair the
religious rights of any people or tribe
over whom floats the American flag"
