RURAL DELIVERY ne.
STRICTED.

Washington, July 23.--Fourth

Bnstow's investigation of the
condition Of the rural free de

that OF the total appropriation of
S12, ,620,700 made By Congress for
the rural free delivery all but
$2,000,000 will be required to
carry on the service on routes
already esta blished. He has de.
ternNined thot ~ deficit she'll he

llshment of new routes will be
limited to such as can be carried
on to the end of the year without
exceeding the available $2,OOO,-
600
One Of the results will be that
orders for full country services
that have been issued in certain
cases viii be revoked. Another
result Is that the order providing
that no route shall be established
unless at least one hundred resi-
dences will be served by it will
be strictly lived up to.
The 100000 will be appor-
toned among the states and ter
ritories in proportion to the mum
Der of applications for the estab-
lishment Of rural free delivery
routes that have been received.
1t Is said at the department that
there will be no favoritlsm IN the
establishment of routes hereaf-
ter, but that cases will be consid.
cred on their merits and in the
order In which applications are
received at the department.
In view of the limited amount
Of money available the depart
rnent takes the ground that the
rule of the greatest good to the
greatest mum Der must be follow
&c, and that even when applica
tions are made for routes that
will serve one hundred residences
they will not IN all cases be es.
tabIished If there are applications
from the same State for routes
that would serve larger number
of residences.

CHINA PAINTING RECORD.
LOO Pieces Decorated in One Year
by Young Woman.


There being but 3e5 days in the year.
LOO pieces of china hand-painted to or

pretty good output for an artist A
young woman but newly established in
New York has achieved this record by
working straight through holidays. most
of Sundays and well into the small

Five years ago, when she first came
to New York and sought to get work
through the great specialists in china
decoration, she met with outright dis
enlargement.
Your work is good" they told her,
but there is no chance to do much in
that line here Better try a small city
where the conditions are more faVOra BILE
for an artist to become known"
Bafded for the time being, she set out
10 get pupils in china painting One day
lady who met her at a pupils house
ordered a PLAGUE as a gift for a friend
1t was to be executed very carefully
and show a faithful COPY Of the Con-
federate flag in the original colors.
This order was promptly executed
and so satisfactorily that member of a
card club ventured to order a loving cup
from the artist, which was to be given
business that now necessitates the aid
Of young apprentice to help put in
backgrounds and assist about the kiln
and the services of a competent man to
pack and deliver the parcels.
The artist visits the wholesale china
dealers personally and gets them to Sc
cure for her novel STYLES in plain white
china to be decorated. For designs she
draws on everything she ever learned ia
books or out of books. set of dinner
plates showing scenes from Shakes
peare's plays. a large floral punch bowl
and several pretty mantel ornaments
are among the LOO pieces done last
year
The young artist is a southern woman,
upon whose education and artistic
training more than the usual amount Of
attention was bestowed. Her resolution
in combating encouragement is perhaps
no more than others OF her sex have dis
played in various lines OF effort But
her story is told for the encouragement
of these seekers after artistic success
who may be inclined. at times, to de-
spair of reaching their goal.-New York

have done.
After all conditions were placed be-
fore the band. different members dis
cussed the matter. and could not figure
out any possible way Of continuing
without some financial aid that could
be depended on. so they decided to
pay the obligations, which fell on a
few and amounted to S12 apiece and
disbanded. The details of the cOndi-
