A NAIL SYSTEM
BY WHICH PERSONS MAY r|,VE
INDIVIDUAL MAIL BONES
AT HOME
For Posting and Receiving Mail, There
by Avoiding Having to Go
to Street Boxes.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE SYSTEM

Postmaster Furtl has received one
of the signal mail boxes and has it
on trial of it's efficiency for the pur-
pose intended The box has a metal
flag, and when a letter is posted it
shoots the flag into plain view for the
postman to see from the street. When
the postman puts letter into the box
the flag again returns to view in such
way as to inform the owner of the
box of the arrival of mail, and with
out confusing the postman should he
pass again before the letter is taken
out The expense of the box must
be borne by the persons wishing to
secure the box and service. In this
way every house can have an individ-
ual mail box for posting and receiv-
ing their mail. The carrier has a key
land the box owner carries one. When
the door is shut it's locked 1t is
recommended and urgently requested
of the citizens to adopt this new sys-

OLD SOLDIERS RENDEZVOUS.

The rendezvous for the old soldiers

squire himself is a jolly. wholesouled

teller, but he is also a poet at times,
and often gives the crowd a good
laugh by handling some old happen

squires burning coal, and now that

The Little Rock Democrat says:
"The citizens of Pine Bluff presented
Representative E. J. Kerwin with
a handsome watch on his recent visit

the good people of every county in
the state were as ready to command
their representatives when they serve

to condemn them if they happen to
make a mistake, we imagine it would

had been received from New Orleans,
but it was eminently satisfactory to
the Frisco management to know that
the court had sustained the action
of the New Orleans city council. The
Frisco hoped that perfect harmony
would ensue, but the management was
not advised whether an appeal would
be taken to the state supreme court.
No notice to that effect had been re-
ceived by the legal department. It
would take probably two years to CON-
plete the Friscos extension from Mem
nhis to New Orleans. There will be
400 miles of construction.

To Fiqht the Comr'

One of the greatest legal fights in
the history of railroading will be
fought out soon, probably in Cleve-
land. The suit begun recently by the
interstate commerce commission
against the Lake Shore under the new
Elkins law has had the effect of ar
raying the big eastern railroad lines
with the Vanderbilts. The railroads
aim to dislodge the interstate COM
merce commission from its contention
that the judiciary has the power to
raise or lower rates on interstate COM
merce. for they claim that if the court
has authority to perform this functlca
it also has the right to fix rates.
which is legislative duty. Failing
in this contention the railroads pro-
pose to attack the constitutionality
of the new law upon the ground that
the court is assuming the functions
of congress when it regulates rates
This fight against the commission is
one of long standing. The railroads
claim that the position assumed by the
commission under the Elkins law. il
sustained. would be equivalent to gov
ernment ownership of railroads The
railroads have enlisted the services
of the most prominent corporation
lawyers of the east, and it is prob
able that the battle viii be fought
out in the United States courts al

AMERICAN ASSOCIATIONS
WINTER ART EXHIBITION.

HERALD AND THE ST. Lou1s REFUBLiG
Paris, Jan. 3~l.-(Copyright, 1903. 1.-The win
ter exhibition OF the American Art Associa-
ton has been opened and is attracting the
wide attention of art lovers generally.
Besides the marine subjects Of Mr.. Wal
den, the Venetian pictures of Mr.. Faulkner
and the cattle pictures of Mr.. Connell. there
is a vast amount of excellent work of new
men exhibited.
The Pairs critics dwelt on the peculiarly
French note, which pervades the whole ex-
hibition.
The associations musical and art enter
tainnent was a great success, drawing a
big crowd.
Monologues were given by NJ. Coquelin
Cadet. and music by N. Guesnot, Miss
Srythe. Miss Gay. Nine. Debarsac. Miss
Croker and Mr.. and Mrs. Mott Smith.
Among those present were MIR. and Mrs.
H. w. Faulkner. Mr.. and Mrs. George F.
Leonard. Mrs. Peixotto, Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ.
Buler, Mrs. s. B. Veit, Messrs. Gay. Crock
or and Spicer Simpson.
NJ. Lue Olivier Merson was much amused
at the incident of NJ. Gerome's moon. He
told me a similar incident occurred with his
great work. THE Flight Into Egypt Mr..
Duncan, the picture dealer. of New York,
bought It. and Immediately afterward an
other dealer wanted a replica, but with a
sunset effect instead Of moonlight. NJ.
Merson painted the picture to order and
both works appeared in the shop windows
at the same time.
The artist was rather annoyed, because
he was subjected to the reproach Of not
knowing his own mind.
