Glad They Didn't Shoot Him.
Public curiosity as to who really Sc
cured to former Governor Thomas 6.
Jones the appointment as federal dis
f7ct judge in Alabama has never aba
ed, but it will be at last satisfied by
b following story told by the Mont
gomery correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal In connection with
President Roosevelt's first southern
Democratic appointment: The man
who did it was General Stewart L.
Woodford Of New York. OF course he
didn't do it all by himself. but he first
suggested 1t long before Mr.. Mckinley
died and when It was expected that
Judge Bruce would retire in February,
1902. General Woodford and Judge
Jones have been warn personal
friends for many years. General Wood
ford vas working up the matter with
MI. Mckinley and had ar easy thing
Of 1t with MIR. Roosevelt. All hat Gov
ernor Jones ever did was to say he
would take the Office.
The story was brought out by a sill
,&er loving cup which Judge Jones sent
to General Woodford as a New Years
present. The principal inscription reads
as follows: Papa. I'm SO glad wa
didn't shoot him. Meta" This inscrip-
ton tells the story and originated In
this way: When Mr.. Jones was APP
pointed judge and went up home to
dinner, the children put after him to
know who got 1t for him. He laughed
and answered, swell. if anybody got it
for us it was General Stewart Z.
Woodford."
"Whatl That Yankee general WHO
took dinner with us that timer" asked
his little daughter Meta.
HE Is the man." answered the gov
erno..
q ''Papa. I'm SO glad we didn't shoot
himr' exclaimed little Miss Meta.
And that is the story of a loving cup
that has both sentiment and political
history carved on its shining surface.

DELIVERING THE MAILS
REPoRYs ON THE CITY AND FREE
isRURAL SYSTEMS.
Cost of Making the Latter Complete
To-
Service Estimated at
i 1894, 200, 900.

The anhpal gross cost of a complete rural
free delivery service Throughout the United
States VIII approximate $24.000000. accord
ing to the annual report of First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne, received yester-
day from August w. Macher, general SUI
perintendent of the service. The remaining
100000 square miles not now covered by
rural free delivery service, according to the
report. will require the employment of 10000
or 1900 carriers In addition to those now
employed, making the entire force of car
riers when the extension of the service is
completed within the next three years 40.
600.
After this extension Is completed the an
nual rate of increase in the appropriations
is expected not to exceed per cent,
the rate maintained in other branches of
the postal service. To extend the service
l2,OOo routes year until 1t becomes Uni
Versal, the report says, Will require such
largely increased appropriations that the
annual postal deficits for the ensuing two
or three years will probably reach 5000,
600 or $40 100000, if not more; but once the
service is completed the additional revenue
derived will soon reduce the deficits to pres
ent nSures, If not entirely wipe them out.
Asking for the Service.
During the year 1902 Il. 403 petitions for
the service were fled making total on
July last of q, 646. which exceeded by over
1000 the total number during the preceding
four years. Since July petitions received
have averaged over 600 month. With the
amount required for routes to be estab-
lished by December 1, the entire appropria-
ton has been absorbed, leaving on Deem
Der 1 fully 200 routes for which there is
no appropriation available. This number
probably will be increased by January l to
at least $500
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Machen say that to
comply with the demands of the people and
of members of Congress the department
will require an additional appropriation,
otherwise further establishment of the SER
vice will be deferred until July l next. II
these additional funds are granted 1000
rural free delivery letter carriers will be in
active service by May 1. The estimates
call for ten division superintendent, an
increase of three in number
City Free Delivery.
July last the city free delivery service
embraced 933 cities, including four in the
insular possessions, and the total number of
uniformed letter carriers in the city service
was 17,7S5, as against 1880 the previous
year. 1t is estimated that the free delivery
will be extended to seventy-two offices dur
ing the current year.
1t Is estimated also that the eXpen 1itures
will aggregate $21 1928 300 for the mainte-
nance and extension of city delivery service
during the fiscal year beginning July l. 1903,
including SSH 600 for special delivery ser
vice. which branch has been added to the
free delivery system during the past year.

GALVESTON VICTIM ALIVE.
Husband, Thinking Her Dead, Marries
Again and Has Child.

A Phillipsburg. N. j., dispatch to the
New York Tribune says:
Relatives here have learned Of the finding
of Mrs. Luke Bryan of South McAlister,
l. T., who it was thought, had been lost
in the Galveston disaster, over two years
ago. Mrs Bryan being alive seriously COM
plicates the marriage of her husband, who,
after a long search, gave her up as lost.
At the time of the destruction of Gal
weston Mrs. Bryan and one Of her children
were visiting in that city. AS the waters
rose friends advised them to go to a high
er building. Mrs. Bryst refused, and, with
her child, went into the upper story Of the
house.
That was the last seen of them. Next
morning the house was gone. All efforts to
find Mrs. Bryan or her child were futile.
Her husband spent hundreds of dollars and
weeks of time looking for traces of her,
without avail.
Time went on. Mr.. Bryan married, and
a child was born. A few days ago he re-
ceived telegram from Waco. Texas, say
ing that Mrs. Bryan was alive and was at
sanatarium there. 1t seems that Mrs.
Bryan was crazed by fright She was
found wandering aimlessly and unable to
give any account of herself A few days
ago her mind cleared, and she was able to
give her true name and her husbands ad-
dress Mrs Bryan's native place was Gin
ton, N. J.

he waged, is but little over forty years
wealthy and popular.
His father was one of the pioneers who

Salt Lake City. She brought him a for
tune, which he has increased by careful
handling until he himself is reputed to be
a millionaire. He Is a banker and manu-
facturer and Is interested in a large num-
Der Of other enterprises.
Throughout Utah officials Of the Mormon
Church electioneered for him, while he had
the assistance also of Senator Thos. Kearns
whom 1t Is said. he is to help in return two
years hence. His candidacy split the re-
publican party in the state, for many were
opposed to the idea of electing Mormon
apostle These supported openly the demo-
cratic legislative candidates, who would
vote for the return of Senator J. L. Raw
Inns II elected. On the other hand, many
of the Mormon democrats who are suscepti-
BILE to ecclesiastical influence in politics
were brought over to Smoot.

SCARLET FEVER PANACEA.
Important Discovery Of DR.. Charlton
Of McGill University.


special from Montreal to the New York
World says:
serum which, 1t Is declared, will combat
scarlet fever has been discovered by Dr. G.
A. Charlton. Rockefeller fellow of pathology
in the medical faculty of McGin University.
Tests which have been made with the Sc
rum indicate that the importance Of its dis
covery Is as great as that of antitoxin in
dlphtheria cases.
DR.. Charlton was until recently resident
in charge of the Civic Hospital. His re-
searches. which resulted in the discovery
of the serum, were along lines similar to
those followed by Dr. 60er, the Vienna
physician whose announcement last Septem-
Der at the conference of German doctors
at Carlsbad of new cure for scarlet fever
attracted universal attention. The Austrian
government signifled its intention of devot-
ing considerable sum of money to be used
In placing the serum in all the childrens
hospitals In Vienna.
DR.. Charlton recognized a parasite known
as streptococcus in the systems Of patients
Ill with severe forms Of scarlet fever. This
parasite Is not the exciting cause of the
disease. and is not present in mild cases,
but II seems to lead to secondary infec-
tion when once the disease has been con-
tracted. and to be largely responsible for
the high fever. the suppuration of the ear
and other dangerous symptoms associated
with the disease.
1t was to produce serum to combat this
parasite that DR.. Charlton directed his eff
forts. The serum was prepared under the
direction Of DR.. Hubert Of Detroit Fiji
teen severe cases of scarlet fever were
treated with the serum with extraordinary
success Many of these cases would have
ended fatally under the usual treatment
Responding to the effects of DR.. Charl-
toms discovery thirteen Of the cases made
prompt recoveries almost entirely free from
complications. One OF the patients died
Ave hours after being admitted to the hos
pitai. and the remaining case- succumbed to
an attack Of diphtheria.
