FOR THE RURAL ROUTE.
Privileges of the Mail Order Extended
to It.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Robert j. Wynne, first assist.
ana postmaster-general, urges that, in
view OF the success of the rural free
delivery establishment and its future
necessities, the recommendation for
$12,655,S00 in the estimates for that
purpose is reasonable. The amount is
an increase of little more than So
100000 over the current fiscal gear.
The rural free delivery system, the
report says, has become permanent
feature of the postal service, and the
service has increased the postal re-
ceipts and improved conditions wher-
ever 1t has been put in operation. NO
deficiency, it Is stated, will be created
by this service. 1t remains with con-
gfess to say whether the establish
ment of routes already laid out shall
be hastened and the installation OF
routes in course of investigation expe-
dited. Additional appropriations must
be made for this purpose.
II is recommended that congress
make provision for q leave Of absence
with full pay, for rural carriers, not to
exceed fifteen days in fiscal year.
Extension to rural carriers of power
to receive and register letters has
proved so acceptable public benefit
that 1t is purposed further to increase
their usefulness by adding, under
proper regulations, an extension of the
money order system to rural routes.
Rural carriers are now empowered to
receipt for money orders. 1t is intend
ed, after the first of January next, to
empower them also to pay money or
ders at the residences of known
patrons of the routes.
The maximum fee for money or
der ($100) is 80 cents. 1t is recon.
mended that the maximum be reduced
to 25 cents, with proportionate reduc-
tions wherever the amount exceeds
$50.

MOLINEUX is A FREE MAN.
Jury Brought in Verdict of Not
Guilty,

Suulys
New York, Nov 12-Roland B. Mo
lineux was yesterday acquitted of the
murder of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams.
The jury retired at $40, and re-
NAMED out just 25 minutes.
Whine the foreman announced the
verdict of acquittal, there was much
applause, and the cheering extended to
the crowd waiting outside in the corri-
doris and on the street.
Although the jury was out about 20
minutes they agreed on their verdict
within 10 minutes after leaving the
courtroom.
Molineux stood while the jury was
being polled and apparently he was
not affected. His attitude indicated
that he had prepared himself for any
verdict that might be given.
When the large crowd outside the
court heard what the verdict was a
great shout went up and three cheers
for Molineux were given.
Molineux was formally discharged
a few minutes after the jury returned
their verdict.

No More Gloves for Soldiers,

1t is announced that the French
army will soon be deprived of gloves
from motives of economy. Each of
the 100000 soldiers receives two pairs
a year, and each pair costs one franc

Mort, who live by the manufacture of
these gloves are protesting vigorous
ly against the proposed measure.
Four thousand people will be thrown
out of work should Gen. Andre per-
sist in introducing the reform. Need
less to say, every pioupion will hail
1t with delight. The glove, or rather
the absence of it, says the Paris cor
