TO HAVE CHANGE
ON STAR ROUTES
-
POstOffiCe Department is
Now Inviting Bids for
This Work
professionals" S" SHUT OUT
They Will Not be Allowed to Bid and
Then Sub-Let the Contracts to
Other Parties, Thus Causing
Mand Irregularities.

The postoffice department has IS
sued an advertisement inviting
bids for carrying the mail on star
routes in the Second Contract
section foom July 1. 1904, to June
30 1903. The contract section COM
prises the states south of Virginia
and the Ohio river and east of the
Mississippi river.
The bidding is limited to persons
livingwithn the delivery district Of
offices supplied from routes from
which proposals are made who will
agree that in the event of a contract
to live on or near the route and give
the service their personal supervis
ion.
This, in effect. shuts out profession
al contractors who have heretofore
made bids on large number of rou
tes and when awarded contracts sub
let them at a lower rate per annum
than was received by them frequently
resulting in very poor service and a
number of complaints from the pub
lic
Under the contracts which will be
awarded taking effect July /, 1905
the free delivery and collection .
mail will be made ON almost all OF
the star routes.
Star route box delivery of mai
was first started in South Carolina
in 1899 where its feasibility was test
ed, since which time it has been ex-
tended to practically all routes in the
United States except the southeas-
tern contract section, now being ad
velitised In this SETON there are
$500 routes, with $4,000 miles of
service which, when added to the
territory in which the box
delivery system has been introduced,
will make 21.000 routes with over
25O,OO0 miles of free star route box
delivery of mail.
The elimination of the professional
conIarastor and the establishment o..
free box collection and delivery Of
mail ON star routes has been inaugu-
ated through the wise administration
of w. S. Shallenberger, second as
siatant postmaster general who is
making a record Oh this line.

GOTOCOURT
Strenuous Protest Raised
Against Alleged Dis
elimination

Following is taken from the At
lanta Constitution of yesterday:
THAT the railroads Of Georgia will
in the near future resist in the
courts the taxes now levied against
them is the growing opinion among
leading corporations of the state.
These predictions are based upon
|contentions that the arbitration sys-
TEN results in an unequal distribu-
'tion of taxation and that corporate
property, compared to ether roperty,
|Is valued for taxation purposes at 2
much higher per cent than that of
private individuals
"The fact that the award In the
taxable value Of that system at a
higher rate per mile than the other
lines doing a similar business is cited
in support of the contentious. The
roads may, indeed, be the first CIR
among the first to appeal from the
reward Of arbitrators and submit the
question of how much it should DE
taxed to the supreme court.
f, G.. du Bignon. attorney for the
AtlCntic Coast Line, was seen touch
ing the recent arbitra;&on of the prop
ertia3 of this company. He said that
as he understood it the figures OF the
umpire in fixing the value of the fran
chise and tangible properties repre-
sented the full value OF those proper
ties and that these values were not
| reduced So as to conform to the val.
uatlon for taxes of other property re
turned for taxation in the state"

SALE BEGINS TOMORROW.
McCIures Stock viii be Sold Out as
Soon as Possible,

The bargain ',IIyers of Run sWick
will, no. doubt, take a great deal of
interest in the closing out sale OF
the Mcclure Ten Cent store which
is to he held this week at the former
store of Judge Dillon, 317 and 319
Newcastle street.
A great part of this stock is not
damaged at adj. Much of it is only
stained by smoke or water and quite
part of it is in as good condition
as when first unpacked from the
manufacturers.
The insurance companies have de-
cided that the stock must be sold
at once and no offer that is anywhere
reasonable will be refused for the
goods, so great is the anxiety for a
quick clearance. Merchants and in
fact anybody can profit by the sale.

SMOKED PIPE OF PEACE
Seniors and Juniors Of the Univer-
sitv End Three Years War.

According to former custom, just re-
yived, the junior and the senior classes at
the state university smoked the pipe Of
peace last night upon the university cam
pus and buried the Ratchet of war. Ih1s
practice, just before commencement,
marks the pa ssing Of hostility that has
previously existed between the juniors
and the seniors.
After an hour of jovial talk beneath
Japanese lanterns, the two classes seated
themselves about a campfire. PRESIDENT
Benjamin Drake Of the senior class took
the ancient pipe-a genuine survival from
many an ancient treaty between the Sioux
and the Ojibways-lighted the kinn1kin-
nick with a coal from the big fire, inhaled
solemn Whit. and passed the pipe to
H. S. Ives, leader of the juniors. Mr..
Ives rose amid loud grunts Of approba-
| ton from the braves seated on the grass.
He told the story of the calumet-how,
moons and moons ago, the bowl of red
stone had fallen from the sky-from the
Great Spirit-into the hands Of HiaWatha:
how the gray feathers along the steam had
been delivered by the west wind into Hia-
wathas lodge as a gift from the chief OF
the war eagles
| The 'hatchet,'' venerable copper tom
ahawk from Lake Superior, was buried
deep by two braves accounted the most
! truculent warriors respectively of the jun
Tor and the senior tribes. And then louc
warwhoops on the shores Of Mississippi
awakened echoes that had slept for sixty
years.

NEW TWIN CITY RECORD
"Quo vadis" to Be Continued An
other Week, Making Run of
Twenty Performances.

.Quo vadis" will be continued at the
Lyceurn for another week. The patron:
age of the Sienkewicz drama has in
creased steadily with each performance,
until Manager Ferris finally decided that
he would be warranted in continuing the
run for a second week.
This simple announcement marks a new
era in Minneapolis theatricals ard indi-
Gates clearly the immense popularity the
Ferris company has won for itself in this
city. When "Quo Vadis' is withdrawn,
a week from Saturday night, it will have
had ~ twenty consecutive performances,
thus establishing a new local record.
Heretofore the record has been held by
1.-THE Crystal Slipper one of the old
Henderson extravaganzas. which supple
mented q week at the Grand opera house,
with second week at the Lycenm. The
seating capacity Of the Grand, however,
was comparatively mall--much smaller
| than that Of the Lyeeum; and extraordin-
aryA Efforts were nnade to assure the sue.
cess sof the run. This was in the days
| before Minneapolis and st. Paul were
| connected by street car lines, and specia,
theater trains were run from the down
river city. Excursions We're announced
too from neighboring towns, and the
! trains were well patronized In addition
! 1.-THE Crystal Slipper was presented fol
/ only twelve performances, Sunday per
| formances and mid-week ma inees being
| than unknown here.
| However, the record stood from tina
| time to this; and it has remained for I
| resident stock company to break it, 1t i
/ q matter worthy of comment that Mime
/ apo1is with four theaters running in full
| blast, is able and willing to patronize
stock production SO to warrant tn
continuance of "Quo Vadis" for twent
Il performances.
Sunday evening the new Ferris com
pany will begin its summer engagemen
at the Metropolitan theater St. Pau
"Graustark" will be the bill and bot
Dick Ferris and Miss Grace. Hayward wi
be in the cast. This will necessitate
slight Encouragement of parts in 'Qu
vadis.' Miss Hayward will retire a
Lygia relnquishing the part to Mis-
Maude Gilbert, while Miss Beatrice Lie
will play Poppaea. Miss Lieb is a new
conner in the Ferris ranks. She wa
! formerly leading woman with the Dor
nelly stock company Of New York cit.
and is an actress Of much ability. Ca
: Smith Seerle, the company's new leadin
i man. will continue as Vinicius; Ben Johr
