worth Prison.
Chicago, Nov. 80.-The release Of
former Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter by
the expiration of his sentence for con-
spiracy to defraud the government re-
wives the matter Of his suit for vindica-
ton.
He was released from Fort Leaven-
worth prison at midnight, after serv-
ing five years less good time allow
ance. He started for Chicago, and
was met here by Horace G. Stone, his
attorney, who has been collecting EVIL
dence in the civil case through which
Carter seeks vindication.
This case has been pending in the
United States circuit court for several
years. As soon as all the evidence is
before Judge Kohlsaat he will decide
whether the former officer is entitled
to bonds and real estate which the
government claims were secured H.
legally through collision with con.
tractors and others.

Regardless Of tho Indications OF Fraud
Other Conduct Criticized.
With reference to transaction con-
nected with the Brandt automatic cash.
Ter, the report says: eliminating from
consideration all indications Of fraud
and passing upon the case wholly as
question of administrative judgment, It
appears to me that this transaction
would have justified the summary re-
moyal from Office of First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath and George
w. Beavers" Further along the re-
port says of purchases Of tRST Hump
den canceling machine: "Of tthe 100
machines purchased there. arel,at pres
ent only seventeen of them muse, and
there is evidence that their worthless
character was well known to both
Heath and Beavers before they were
ordered" sss
Coming to the Doremus canceling
machine the report says, referring to
d. ]. Truesdell's statement, that he
states that he contributed. 5000
worth Of stock to Green as his share
Of the amount given Heath. He also
stated that Doremus transferred S5,-
600 worth of his stock in the same
manner. Doremus denies any fknowl-
edge Of the stock having been. given to
Heath, but states that he, did con-
tribute fifty shares, par value $1,000,
to Green to be used for the best In
terests of the company. Doremus ad-
mtts that Truesdell told him subse-
Quently that the stock was to be trans
ferred to Heath in consideration Of re-
ceiving large order for machines.
ada 3. Crowell, Truesdell's secre.
tary, who was a bookkeeper in the
employ Of the Doremus Machine COM
pany from Oct 3, 1900, until August,
1901, confirms many of Truesdell's
statements. Heath refused to make a
written statement, but said verbally
to Inspector Simmons that he never re-
ceived any stock from the Doremus
Canceling Machine company or any re.
Enumeration OF any kind, directly or In
directly. Theevidence against
Heath was also submitted to the dis
trict attorney, who decided that 1t was
not sufficient to warrant his indict-
ment."
In this summing up Bristow says:
"The total amount that the perpetra-
tors Of these frauds themselves re-
cefved cannot be definitely learned, but
1t will aggregate between $4,000 and
$400, 1000, while the loss to the govern
ment, considering the unnecessary sup
plies that have been purchased and the
inferior quality Of those furnished by
fraudulent contractors, cannot be esti-
mated with any degree Of accuracy"

HEATH IS CRITICISED
In the Report on the Postal Frauds
by Bristow. and Now
Published.
SALIENT POINTS 0FTHE REPORT
Az Referring to the Salt Lake City
Editor, Who Makes Some
Sharp Comments.

Washington, Nov. s0.-The report Of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow on the frauds in the depart
ment has been given to the press with
a memorandum signed by the president
on the subject. The report gives in
more or less detail the statements of
the case that have already been print
ed in these dispatches, adding nothing
new of Importance, except as to the
investigation as 1t affects ex-First As
sistant Postmaster General Heath. AS
to this case the presidents memoran-
dun simply says in parentheses that
Heath left the service July 81, 1900,
and that at is set forth in the report
of Mr.. Bristow."
Heath's Name Is Mentioned.
The first place in Bristow's report
where Heath's name comes in is rela-
tive to the Montague indicator device
attached to street letter boxes showing
the hours of collection. Stock of the
torcompany was given to Machen
and beavers. the latter getting 1000
shares When he received his first
dividend he wrote acknowledging the
receipt and saying: II have not seen
NJ. Heath, but will make another eff
fort today. He is mighty hard to To-
cate Just now, being busy on national
committee matters" Later he wrote:
"Our friend in Salt Lake wants the
Enclosed stock drawn in the name of
Edwin R. Bacon. Kindly issue new
certificates and have these destroyed"
This letter was dated Aug. 21, 1902.

invasion of the sex into spheres previously regarded by man as his own been more marked than in the city, where women are now so much engaged as clerks, typiStS and shorthand writers. They are of necessity thrown much into the company of men. They become accustomed to an atmosphere where smoke pre-. vails. In their degree they be. come cOnnOiseurs also, and are we'll versed in the subtleties of we'll advertised makes. It has been observed by more than one of the great wholesale cigarette purveyOrs that women do not de- mand ''ladies' brands" but are beginning to prefer the milder general varieties so numerous upon the market. At present the West end female shop assist ants do not as a class smoke. Living in, as Is the custom of most of the great firms, does not allow much opportunity to ac- quire the taste as a regular prac- tice, and at the theatres or the social gatherings which they en- joy on the weekly half holiday the temptation does not arise. Hos- pital nurses also are not, as rule, smokers.
 ThOug in the streets one does not see much evidence of the fact, there is no doubt that working women are beginning to smoke. The tobacco trade in London is a vast one, and in the making both of cigars and cigarettes girls are mainly employed. It may be noted as d curious fact that in choosing cigarettes, even of the least expensive descrip- tion, the feminine smoker never selects dark tobacco. The paler it is the more likely it is to ap- peal to her.-LOndOn Telegraph.

Melon Lice.

So much damage was caused last year to the melon crop of Texas by the melon louse that we take pleasure in printing the following advice from the Okla hOma Stations Press Bulletin No. 63. Remember this article and lay this copy of Farm and Ranch carefully aside where it can be easily found.
 "When diluted kerosene is as a spray against the melon lOuse care should be taken to test the effect of the emulsion on the plants before applying it to the whole crop. Then if it be found too weak for the bugs or too strong for the vines, it may be made weaker or stronger as required. A formula recommend. ed for the preparation of an emul' sion for plant lice is as follows;
 One-half pound of soap (whale oil if possible).
 One gallon water.
 Two gallons keSOsene.
 For use against the melon louse and one gallon of the above emulsion to nine gallons of water. To be effective this must be sprayed so as to reach the entire 4ower surface of the leaves of the plants.
 ''The simplest way to use to- bacco for the fumigatlon of the melon lOuse is to burn half an inch of 'nikoteen punk" under tight box or tub placed over the young vines and pressed into the soil. When this is done the box should be left over the vines long enough for the insects to be killed. In treating a large field enough boxes may be used so that by the time a man has put all the boxes in place it is time to change the first box to another plant. This remedy should also be tested to determine what is the best amount of punk and the proper length of time with the size of box ed.-Farm and Ranch.

Women Smokers.

For the past fiye-and-twenty years at least society, using the
 word in it's more exclusive mean ing, has looked upon the cigar cite between the feminine lips with more and more toleration. One by one the fashionable res taurants have extended the same freedom of the post-prandial cigarette to ladies as to gentle men. The smoking room is at the present time feature of all the ladies' clubs, and so far now from it's being a secret Sanctum into which the merely introduced guest could not be taken, one finds that ladies who have acted as hostesses to little parties of friends, which may include men, taee their visitors to the SmOk- ing room after lunch or dinner, and there offer them of their own cigarettes. Gold cases for cigarettes, with monographs or notices in diamonds, may often be seen among the brides pres ents at a fashionable wedding, and the match box is as much an appurtenance of the chatelalne as the pencil or the tiny puff box. And such fair smokers are faS- tidiOus as to the brands of cigar cites they buy. There are shops not far from Bond street which specially cater for their lady GUS toners, who pay very high pri- ces for their finely favored deli cate and fragrant Turkish or Egyptian tobaccos.
 But it is in somewhat less aris-- tOcratic ranks that the real in crease of cigarette smoking by women is most marked; and there it is that the lower prices with which combines" and "trusts" are concerned are an in- centive. h no direction has the
