the degree of injury inflicted, eleven

the business agent, offered from 50 to
S25 for assaults on nOn-uniOn man.

"They would not hesitate to embroll
the Philippines with the United States

doing they could gain their ends and

To Prevent Railway Accidents.

An automatic railway accident pre-
yenter, invented by an electrician nam
ed Rudolph Bartelmus of Vienna, has
been tested by body of expert rail-
way managers with satisfactory re-
suits, says the New York World. The
main idea is TO put the engineer In d.
rect communication with all the signal
boxes by electrical apparatus on the
engine, contact being effected by a
third rail. The signalman can thus
make a red light burn on the locomo-
tive In front OF the engineer. while an
electrical bell will ring until the engi-
neer switches It OF. On the other
hand, the contrivance causes bell to
ring In the signal box as soon az the
train is within 5000 yards. Finally. II
one train approaches another on the
same rail within 5000 yards, red lights
burn automati ticaliy on the locomotive.

CHANGED HIS MIND.
Charges Against Postmaster Withdrawn
After Forming Partnership.

citizen of Kansas wrote to the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
the other day complaining that the post
master in his town filled in the time
between the sales of stamps and pos al
cards and the delivery Of letters by
selling drinks to thirsty patron He
was advised to file formal charges,
which he did. describing in very en-
phatic terms the conditions which ex-
listed at the postoffice.
The writer explained that the town
was strong temperance. and that it was
not possible to get drink anywhere
save at the postoffice. and corclud ii his
letter by asking that the postaGste, tie
removed and the blot wiped from the
fair name of the town.
The charges were still under inves-
tigation by the Fourth Assistant when
another letter was received by special
delivery from the man who had COM
planned He stated that he wished to
withdraw all his charges. that he had
been mistaken and misled; that the
postmaster. instead of being all the
things he had called him, was in reality
a large hearted philanthropist, and con-
cluded by stating naively that he had
reached an agreement and entered into
n partnership with the postmaster.
whereby that maligned official was to
sell the stamps and attend to the office
matters, while the writer was to dis
pense the drinks.

RETURN POSTAL SYSTEM.
Committee Considering Plans and Elk.
pect to Report Favorably.

| a committee consisting of the four
Assistant Postmasters General are con-
sidering the advisablity OF adopting n
system of return postal cards and envel-
opes, which, it has been urged, would
be of great benefit to the business in
terests Of the country. The question of
adopting a system Of postage upon re-
turn cards and envelopes sent out by
business houses has been before the
Postoffice Department for a number of
years, but the matter was not taken up
for consideration and report until re-
Gently.
There are now four systems before the
committee for investigation. Those OF
the Economic Postage Association, the
Cahili Company. the Return Postage
Company, and the Return Postal and
Clearing Company. The last named IS
the original system. which has been be
fore the department for about five years.
The plans of the various companies
are similar and contemplate the deliv-
cry OF return mail. and the collection OF
postage due. by authorized carriers cf
the authorized company, thus relieving
the Government Of the necessity OF
keeping separate accounts with the vaTi-
Gus business firms Using the system
The company is to derive it's profit from
