HORSE THAT LAYTON RODE.
Equine Veteran That Was Placed ON
the Retired List After the Gem
erals Death.

When the news Of Gen. Lawton's
death reached Nigan, a large town on
the west coast of Luzon. the BOYS Of
the Third cavalry stationed there felt
more deeply about il than the in-
fantry companies Of the garrison. for
they had served under him. and they
found a way 70 show IL. reports the
New York Tribune.
One of their horses, an old and
worn out veteran, had been used by
Gen. Lawton during one Of his cam
paigns. A committee appeared before
the commander of the post the morn
ing after the news was received.
We want old General put on the
retired list" said the spokesman. and
the colonel granted the request. After
that old General was allowed TO wan
der about the streets and 20 come and
go as he pleased. Sometimes he would
poke his head into a store window, If
any of the boys were there. as he
knew they would be sure TO give him
a lump of sugar or some other dainty.
The children learned to know him also.
and fed him with stray wisps az straw
or grass. General led a privileged life,
and soon grew 'chesty." He refused
to eat with the other horses, and in
sisted that his food be given him
apart from theirs. One day he was
taken with a disease common to ma
tive horses, and died. Many Of the
natives, who had learned his history,
firmly believed that Lawton would
ride old General again in the land Of
spirits.

THE UNRELIABLE AIRSHIP.
II Has Faults That unfit II for Gem
ernI Utility Among Every
day People.

II is very doubtful whether the air
ship will ever become popular means
Of travel with the masses. for the SIM
pie reason that the enjoyment Of fit
ting through the atmosphere is some
what married by the realization that
the passenger does not know whether
he will reach the earth alive or merely
as a grease spot, says the Ohio state
Journal.
Without beating about the bush any
the modern airship is erratic and ec-
centric. If an insanitary expert were
to examine a full-grown airship have
no doubt he would find it unbalanced
and unaccountable for its acts. II has
been only lately since Santos-Dumont,
the famous airship subiugator was
almost killed at Monte Carlo by his
airship, which began to plunge and
buck in midair. That's the great
trouble with an airship-you can never
tell when you have it well broken.
Those who have been riding in an air
ship when it suddenly junped up and
came down stiff-legged from height
Of four or five miles, say that the sem
sation experienced simply beggars de-
scription.
Summed up in a nutshell, then, the
reasons why the airship Is not likely
to become popular with the travelling
public are as follows:
1t is not as gentle as a lamb; IL cam
not be ridden or driven by any lady
or child; il win not stand without
it is likely TO stumble and
fan at any minute.

STUDENTS In A new ROLE
DISGUISED AS TRAMPS THEY ARE
EMPLOYED AS 'REPEATERS."
Secure Evidence Against Police Cap
tains, Two of Whom Are Arrested
for Election Frauds.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-two district cap
tains in the Ninth assembly district have
been held by Magistrate Barlow in bonds
Of $500 each, to answer charges Of vio-
lating the election law. The evidence in
the case procured by six young COL
legians, who volunteered their services TO
Superintendent of Elections McCullagh.
One of the young men is said TO be a mil
lionaire. Another is a young physician, and
the four remaining are medical students.
They claim to have made themselves no.
ticeable around West Twentysixth street
just before election day. Disguised as
tramps they were accosted by workers who
after becoming acquainted. disposed of
them in various rooms. On election day
they say they were provided with slips
bearing the names of men who had regis
tered in good faith, but who had been called
away. In this manner they say they voted
many times apiece, and for each ballot they
allege they received So. Superintendent Nc
Cullaghs deputies at the polls were aware
of their movements. and the ballots are
said TO have been marked for Identification
The plan came near ending disastrously
in one booth where the alleged repeater
had been provided by mistake with slip
bearing the name OF negro.
The exposures have caused a sensation
among the politicians of the district, as the
officials claim their agents were admitted
to the clubs and availed themselves of
every opportunity for collecting informa-
ton.

LOWER POSTAGE RATES
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION BY
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
ME-. Payne Would Stimulate Our Trade
by Reducing Foreign Letter Rates
to Two Cents.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IA radical re-
duction of the postage rates Of mails to
the leading commercial nations of Europe
will be urged on Congress at this session
by Postmaster General Payne. 1t Is con-
fdently expected that in case the project
Is carried through to successful execution
our foreign trade will be greatly stimulat-
ed. 1t is believed the nations which are
to be approached with a view to being
parties to the arrangement will readily
give their acquiescence.
The plan will be proposed in Mr.. Payne's
annual report. The present rate is cents
per half-ounce on letters TO foreign coun-
tries, save Canada and Mexico, between
which and this country the same postage
rates are applied as are imposed on mail
within this country. 1t is proposed to put
the governments of England, Germany and
France on the same footing. In view of
the greatly increased volume of postal
business and the number of commercial
transactions between this country and Eu-
rope the foreign rate Is held to be entirely
disproportionate to the domestic rate and
serves as a detriment to the business in
terests of the country. Mr.. Payne believes
a reduction in postal rates not only would
prove a great benefit to the business inter-
ests of the country, but result in sufficient
ly large business to make up in the end for
the loss of revenue.
This has been the experience of the
United States in the reciprocal arrange
ments made with the two countries on our
northern and southern borders. The prof.
ect will have to be carried through by con-
ventions with the other countries men
toned. So soon as the assent of Congress
is secured. Germany, England and France
viii be approached and conventions with
other countries along the same lines will
be left for future consideration.
