WILL ABOLISH SOUTHERN
RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES
Investigation by Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brlstow Results in Discovery
That to Restore Service It Will
be Necessary to Abolish
One-Third South
ern Routes

Washington, June 4.-The investi-
CATION by Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow of the affairs of
the free delivery division, formerly
conducted by Superintendent Machen,
who was summarily dismissed and
arrested on charge of bribery just a
week ago, has resulted in the dis
covery that in order to restore the SER
vice to proper state it will be neces-
sary to abolish one-third of all the
rural free delivery routes now in oper-
alton in the northern section of the
country.
1t appears from investigation that
routes we're established in the two Sec
tions named without any possible
excuse save as matter of favor to
membres Of congress, and that money
appropriated by congress for this pur-
pose was expended with almost crimi-
nal extravaganza. Reports have been
received at the department showing
that on many of these rou tes in ques-
tion the receipts do not average So a
month, and that on others the
amount taken in does not begin to
Justify the distance Of the route.
OF all these routes, however, re-
CARELESS of receipts, the rural carrier
received $50 month, and the saving
that will be effected by the abolish
ment Of large portion of the ser
vices will be enormous.
The case of former Superintendent
Machen was presented to the grand
jury today.
A dispatch received at the Post
office Department announces that at
Oxford, Miss, today Fenner B. Baker
was fined $50 and costs and sentenced
to six months in Jail for offering
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow $500 for am appointment as
postmaster.
Postmaster General Payne tonight
denied that it is at present proposed
to reduce the number of rural routes.
He admitted that he and Gen. Bris-
tow had discussd the subject, but he
said no conclusion has been reached.
He said at some subsequent time the

YAZOO MURDER CASE.

Yazoo City, Miss, June 4.-The
preliminary trial of Editor Birdsall
and W. G. Dorsey, charged with the
murder of Circuit Clerk Tom A.
Kelly, in the famous tragedy which
was enacted on the streets of this city
on May 9, began this morning at 9
O'Clock Mayor Edward Luke and JUS
tice of the Peace F. NJ. Hutchins and
George F. Strickland presiding.
The state is represented by Barnett
& Ferrin and T. H. Campbell, all of
this city, and the defense by Henry &
Barber and E. H. Holmes, of this
city, and R. NJ. Miller of Hazlehurst.
On motion of the state the name of
F.. E. Birdsall was stricken out of
the affidavit and separate indict-
ment prepared.
The motion was then made by the
state to proceed separately with the
trial of Dorsey. To this the defense
objected, but the court sustained the
motion.
Witnesses were put under the rule
by request of the defense, and W. W.
Lockard, the star witness for the
state, wa. put on the stand. Lockrad
ia one of the witnesses to the now
famous "dying statement" made by
that Kelly who is now recovering
from his injuries. Lockard's refer
ence to this statement precipitated a
hard fight, as the state made motion
Thad Kelly's statement should be ruled
out of the testimony because of the
fact that he is now alive and could
personally appear before the court.
The motion was again sustained, and
the evidence of the witness was ex
actly opposite to what Kelly's dying
statement contained. Lockard wal
still on the stand at 1920 p. m. being
Cross examined by Lawyer Miller fo
the defense.
Dorsey's trial will continue to
morrow and possibly Saturday, afte
which Birdsalf will have hearing.

the most beautiful and expensive bind
ings, could be produced at far less
cost in dollars and cents than they can
be made to-day. And the same reasons
which prevented modern improvements
in the old, slave-holding states prevent
ed the introduction of the printing press
as an organ of ancient civilization.
"Atticus, a Roman bibliophilist,
trained large number of saves to the
special duty of merely transcribing.
There were five readers for each one
hundred trained writer's in different
apartments, and five hundred copies of
a short poem or small book could be
produced rapidly and at little cost, less
by far the boosted powers of the press
without all our modern appliances in
the art of printing. These shorthand
slaves could produce in twelve hours
five hundred copies of a poem equal in
extent to Tennyson's 'Enoeh Arden and
its accompanying poems, and for this
work they received one pound of a kind
of common corn each, with small al
lowance of wine. This kind of feed
would not go far with stenographers of
the present day. We have fair and
healthy scale of prices for our work,
and we receive it or we don't work. -

GOLDEN WEDDING.
Of Mr.. and Mrs. William C. Goodwin.
Formerly OF New Haven.

Of Mr.. and Mrs. William c. Goodwin,
Formerly OF New Haven.
Saturday, the 2sth, was the fiftieth
anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. William C,
Goodwin. The distant residences of
several members Of the family seemed
to render impossible completely satis-
factory celebration. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodwin had planned to spend the day
in the quiet of their home.
Mrs. Walter Watson, of White Water.
Wis, their daughter, desired that the
anniversary should be recognized and
conceived a unique and most happy
plan. The interest and cooperation Of
Rev. A. H. Goodenough, D. D., and Mr..
]. NJ. White was secured. Fifty
church friends of the couple were inyi-
ted to write letters of eongratulation.
mailing them so as to reach them on
the anniversary day. Mrs. Watson
asked relatives and many friends to do
the same.
The result was complete surprise to
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin. On Friday let
tiers We're received from several rela-
tives and from Bishop Daniel A. Good
sell of the Methodist Episcopal church,
who was formerly their pastor in New
Haven. These letters occasioned no
surprise, but on Saturday morning,
when forty-two were delivered by the
carrier; they realized that concerted
plan was being carried out. During the
day as many more congratulatory mes
sages arrived and several friends and
neighbors called, while others sent
roses, carnations, ETC., with their cards.
Monday noon one hundred and four let
tiers had been received. They came
from relatives and friends in all parts
Of the union and in Bristol.
A business friend from Philadelphia
brought a sheaf of roses, bound with
white ribbon, on which was painted in
gold "Fiftieth Anniversary" 1t was
understood that congratulations were
not to be accompanied by gifts.
Though making this request of Others,
the children did not observe the rule
themselves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin were married
in Whitneyvilie, near New Haven, this
state, by Rev. Austin Putnam, Con-
gregational clergyman. Mrs. Goodwin
was Miss Ellen Warner, daughter of
Edmund Warner of New Haven. After
their marriage they went to housekeep-
ing in Plainville. After residing in New
Haven many years they came to Bris-
toll, and have remained here since. For
more than twenty years Mr.. Goodwin
was traveing salesman for John II.
Sessions & Sons, resigning about year
ago because of i'll health.
A native OF New Marlboro. Mass,
his boyhood was spent there, removing
with his parents to Leraysville, Brad
ford county, Pa, where he learned the
carriage making trade. He has been
active in the Prospect Methodist church
and at present is a member OF the
board of trustees.
Mr.. Goodwin continues to maintain
an active interest In church work
They have five children living, John E,
and Charles D.. who are with the Il
Candee Rubber company at New Ha-
ven; William R., in the employ Of the
winchester Repeating Arms company
of New Haven; Mrs. Watson and James
c., who is an instructor in western
college.

TYPICAL AMERICAN HUSBAND.
AS Depicted by Mrs. Anterior, the
Novelist.

Novelist.
The peculiarities, good and bad, of the
American husband are described by Mrs
Gertrude Atherton in the Fortnightly
Review. Her first point Is that the in
dividuals commonly, but mistakenly,
taken as typical by foreign observers,
the rich and busy city men, are not
typical in any sense. Interesting crea-
lures they are, and necessary even for
the promotion of the country's material
interest, but they must be highly I'M
interesting as husbands. A man who
eats his luncheon with the telephone on
his table, whose mental faculties are on
the rack from 8 until s., who looks upon
every man as his; natural enemy,
whose keeilest sense is an appreciation
of the value and the values of money,
must be either stupid or cross when the
DAVIS work is done If he let's his wife
spend half of her year alone in Europe,
it is not likely that he misses her. and
the signing of domestic checks is a trifie
in his mighty calculations
Beyond doubt 1t is in the huge bulk
Of the middle class, both in and out of
the strenuous cities, that not only the
typical husband is to be found, but the
largest measure of domestic content
ment In these millions of respectable
homes, just above the grind and pinch
of poverty, many a man is common,
overbearing, selfish, dull, but the mass
Of him lives an even and amiable life,
moderately indulgent to his family, and
repaying the unintermittent sacrifices of
his wife with much consideration, even
while accepting them as inevitable. He
loves his home and takes a deep interest
in his children being not above walking
the floor with them at night, now Wheel
ing them in the perambulator. If he
works increasingly it Is to educate them
properly, and leave his family provided
for at his death. This American hus-
band may not be peculiarly interesting
as an individual, but on the whole he is
more interesting than his wife; his
range is wider, he reads his newspaper,
discusses affairs with other men; and
anything under heaven is more vivid
conversation material than the recur-
ring incidents of the domestic life.
A German girl met abroad told me
that she could tell the nationality of any
man by the way ne left train, even if
his back were to her and his voice
silent. The German stalked out and left
his wife to follow as best she could.
The Englishman was ,punctilious and
bored. the Frenehman was nervous
cross and garrulous, the Dane was
solicitious. Only the American was
quick, efficient and happy in the per-
Torrance of his natural Duty
