Frsnois Kelsey, head Of the Latin de-
partment of the University of Michi.
gan, former head Of tho American
classical school at Rome, Italy, and
author Of many Latin text books, lies
at the point Of death from a strange
affection OF the liver. An operation,
which has Just been performed, may
save his life.
Prof. Kelsey's liver was found full
of oysts, infected with germs. The
operation was for removing these
cysts, but many could not be removed.
The surgeons say the case is the first
of the sort in the United States in
nine years, and the eighteenth case
known in the world.

Washington, Nov. 19-Edwin q.
Madden, third assistant postmaster
general, in his annual report, made
public today, recommends the estab-
lishment of the following postage
rates:
A new rate at four cents pound
for all publications now admitted to
the second class mail, except daily,
tri-weekly, semi-weekly and weekly
newspapers, in the general understood
sense of the word newspaper. This
rate is to DO paid on the bulk weight
without regard to the number of pieces,
the same as is now the case under the
pound rate.
The consolidation of tho third and
fourth classes Of mail matter and that
the postage thereon be at the rate of
one cent for each two ounces or fTac-
lions thereof, to be prepaid by stamps
affixed.
Congress also is asked to authorize
the postmaster general to accept, un-
der suitable regulations, mailings of
large quantities of identical pieces Of
printed matter and small articles Of
merchandise without the necessity OF
affixing postage stamps to the individ-
ual pieces.
The recommends for the four
cent pound rate is an outgrowth Of
the the investigation into the abuses
of the second class vail privileges.
Mr.. Madden says thst many of the
cheaper class OF periodicals would be
given away if the law would permit.
The practice, it is said, is to main
tain tine fiction of subscription price
an to give back its equivalent in q
premium.
Concerning the public impression
that one cent postage is probable in
the near future, Mr.. Madden says it is
altogether too soon to consider q re-
duction Of the letter rate of postage
on the mere basis that the reforms in
second class mail matter will save
enough to the government to compen-
safe it for the loss of revenue through
the reduction of the letter rate.
Mr.. Madden says that nearly ga
900, 900 were expended during the
year on account of experimental rural
free delivery, aud that had it not been
for this large expenditure the postal
service for the fiscal year 1902 would
have been self-sustaining, and would
have had more than 81 900, 900 to its
credit
The report points out number Of
still existing abuses, among the most
fragrant of which are stated to be the
abuse of the sample copy privileges
and the offering of premiums to
subscribers.

A LOVE STORY WRECKED.
Erie Woman Scorns the Love of a
Short Grass Man.

Topeka, July 5.-Thef government
authorities have recently been wrest-
ling with an interesting case growing
out OF a matrimonial advertisement.
Mrs. S. T. Ridley, a widow, living on
a farm near Erie, Kans., decided
that she wanted another husband.
There was no one in that immediate
vicinity WHO suited her, so she adver-
tised in a Chicago matrimonial paper.
She told about her good looks, her
landed possessions, her fine DISPOSE
ton and so on, and told what sort of
a man she was. looking for. Charles
T. Foran of Kinsley, Kans., answer
ed the advertisement. Correspondence
was struck up, which resulted in an
engagement. Mrs. Ridley wanted to
take look at her husband-to-be, so
she arranged to meet him at Parsons.
and take him out to her farm. This
she did. Next she wanted to see what
kind of worker he was, so she put
him to work on the farm. At the end
of three weeks she told him to go back
to Kinsley and she would notify him
when she would be ready to march
with him to the altar.
Foran was about So years of age
and not as handsome as the common
run of short grass men. He had tink-
cred around at various things and
had saved up $3.50. He said he was
fifteen years doing it. He took the
money with him when he went to visit
his fiapcee and gave it to her-simply
for safe keeping, he says. He kept it
in an old tobacco sack. When he
started back to Kinsley, Mrs. Ridley
gave him the sack and some addi-
tional money for car fare. He ran
out of change when he got to Wichita
and dug down for his tobacco sack.
When he opened it, he was astounded
to find no money in it. The 1850 had
been taken out and the sack stuffed
with paper. He Immediately reported
the case to the authorities.
Post Office inspector Stice investi-
gated it and submitted his findings to
the district attorney. Mrs. Ridley
told Stice that she had the money;
that Foran gave it to her, and that
she proposed to keep it. She declared
that it WAS her intention at first to
marry Foran, but that she had backed
out when she got a look at him. In
his report Stice said he didn't blame
her for backing out.
Foran wanted her prosecuted fol-
using the mails for fraudulent pur
poses, the alleged violation consist
ing in her sending the matrimonia
ad. through the mails and following
it up with correspondence. The gov
eminent officials decided, however
that it would simply be Foran's WORD
against Mrs. Rizley's word in regard
10 the $3.50 transaction, and that i
would be useless TO bring prosecu
zion, so the case was dropped.-

He can now recall the customary re-

breakers of the law: .sLet this be a

side that the judges case may not be
altogether hopeless, as he can hold
out that dollar when he makes his
next collection in the police court.
