Boxes for Rural Free Delivery.

The Postmaster General has issued
an order regarding the kind of boxes
the patrons of free delivery service
are required to secure for the recep-
tion CT mail matter carried by the car
riers. The circular says:
Ordered, That in all rural free de-
livery service, established on and af-
ter October l, 1902, these require
mentS shall be observed. Each per-
son desiring the rural free delivery
service must erect at his own COST,
and in the manner prescribed by the
regulations Of the Department, a box
complying with the following speci-
ficationS:
Material. square and oblong
boxes shall be made of not less than
20 standard gauge sheet iron or sheet
steel, and galvanized the edges Of
which shall be supported or strength
ened either by folding the metal back
upon itself, or by riveting to the
edges band iron or steel at least 1-l6
inch in thickness and at least one-half
inch in width, or by wiring with at
least No. 10 gauge wire: provided, if
box be made Of a heavier material
than 20 gauge. the above require
mentS as to reinforcementS need not
be observed.
Each box must be erected by the
roadside, so that the carrier can east
ly obtain access to it without dis
mounting from his vehicle. The
same box must not be used for more
than one family, except in case Of
near relatives or those residing in the
same house. Persons neglecting Or
refusing to comply with these condi-
tions will be regarded as not desiring
rural free delivery, and the rural car
rier will be directed not to serve them.
In all service heretofore established,
and wherein inappropriate, unsafe
and unsuitable boxes are in use, the
Department will expect that patrons
of rural free delivery (now accepted as
a permanent feature Of postal Seryice)
will conform as promptly as possible
to the foregoing requirements. if they
desire the continuance OF rural free
delivery. Those charged with the
administration OF the service will put
this order into effect with firmness,
but without undue haste or harShness.

SKATING POND FOR co-EDs.
Prof. Crook, of Northwestern Uaiver-
Sity, Has Scheme to Keep geu-
dents in Evanstoa,

Certain social distractions at North
western university, at EVANSTON, III,
OF which there has been much com
plant by the parents of the students
at the institution, may be stopped if
the plans of Prof. Algie R. Crook to
construct a skating rink materialize.
Prof. Crook has announced his in
tention of utilizing for the purpose
the vacant half-block just north of
Willard hall, the home of the co-eds.
He would have the university author
tiles prepare the lots so that they
may be flooded before cold weather.
The concrete sidewalks would serve
as banks for the pools on three sides.
Fraternity men, who have heard of
Prof. Crooks scheme, have offered to
build seats for the skaters, and sug-
gest that each secret society build
one and name it after the fraternity.
On account of the proximity of the
lots to TIE dormitories the young
women are taking kindly to the prop
osition. They laugh at the sugges-
ton that it is scheme to keep them
away from the Chicago parks, where
many of them go skating in the WIZ

"American Supremacy.n

In the new issue OF the London
Fortnightly Review there appears an
anonymous article on American Su-
premacy," says the New York Trib-
ure, that is likely to attract much
attention. The author considers the
notion of Europe being overwhelmed
by the boundless production Of the
United States most fantastic fig
mert of the imagination. Upon the
new presidents recognition of the
limits of American supremacy, he
argued. the commercial and political
fortunes of the whole world may in
no little degree depend. He goes on
to show that England will make a
bad mistake if she opposes the
wishes of America in regard to the
isthmian canal. Tnc United States
should hold the iron keys Of the
gate Of the two oceans, and should
have the power to close it against

HOTEL FOR WORKMEN
Chicago Labofins Men to Be Givea
a Modern and Cheap Eostelry.
J. w. Gozzard and a. Montgomery
Ward CoasiderinE Plans to Build
an Institution Similar to 5Iills'
Hotel, Mt New York.

J. W. Gossard and A. Montgomery
Ward. both well-known students Of
practical sociological problems, may
bac!. movement to give to Chicago
a hotel for workingmen similar to
ti>' Mills hotel in New York. The two
men liaTe hot discussed the matter
personally, but the subject was
broachcd to Mr. Gossard by John q.
Bo-uc. representing Mr.. Ward.
u have had such hotel in mind
for some time" said Mr.. Gossard,
"and | would like to go in with some
capitalist and erect one, or I would
head stock company for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Ward has found me in the
rieh: mood for joining him if hotel
can lie erected according to my ideas,
gained from personal experience
among the people whom such an in
situation would benefit.
IN the first place, it should be
sit"atc;i in the downtown district,
within the loop If possible. 1t'should
he 1T least 70 stories high end of the
most modYrn tirerrocf construction,
and living could be had on both the
American and European plans. On
the American plan the highest price
woulG be one dollar per day and on
the European plan the lodging would
be at the rate of about 20 cents per
night. Every modern sanitary con-
venienca would enter into the con-
struction; there would be bath in
every room, tubs in the higher-priced
rooms and shower baths in the rest.
The meals would be moderate in
price and there would be two reg
tauraniS, one serving a vegetable
diet only, the other mixed diet.
There should be a free employ
ment agency. free dispensary for
the sick, and bath treatment rooms
for those who are obliged to get the
red licker' out of their systems
before they can brace up. The vege-
tartan diet will be part of the
treatment. There will be provisions
for laundry work, which will be done
at a merely nominal rate. There
should be bowling alleys and billiard
tables, but no bar.
An important adjunct to the hotel
would be the assembly-room, or au-
tditorium. Here should be carried on
the Higher Practical Education So
ciety meetings and the work that the
society has been doing at the Jones
school all summer. The hotel should
be under the auspices of the society,
and be used to carry out its plan of
work among those who need it's help.
I should give my personal attention
to the management of the hotel and
direct also the work of the Higher
Practical Education society"

IN the opinion of Senator Depew
all this talk about the trusts is most
inludicious and tends to unSettle
values. 1t may be remembered that
Mr.. Depew manifested a similar soli-
citude for the stability Of values when
people expressed some resentment at
the blowing up Of the Maine. There
is nothing SO important as a proper
regard for values in the estimation Of
such patriots as Senator Depew.

TIE Spartanburg Journal says

The Spartanburg Journal says:
The Rbbevile Press and Banner is
barborouS enough to demand that chief

confined to his room with perhaps a
mortal illness. Surely we have come
upon a materialistic age when chief
Justice of the supreme court must
answer a roll call daily and have his
services passed on like common
laborer." Can the Journal give US
any good reason why judge should
receive any more consideration in a
republic where all are supposed to be
on an equality than common labor
