PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS
IF 1T is INCREASED THERE MAY BE
CONDITIONS ATTACHED.
Persons Who Deliver Mail in the
Country May Be Compelled to Give
Up Other Occupations.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. I.-Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne is much interested in the sug-
gestion that Congress should increase the
pay of rural free delivery carriers. If bill
is referred to him the probabilities are 1t
will be approved and some interesting
changes recommended in the administration
of the service affecting the carriers. The
postmaster general will begin work on his
annual report next week, but not having
carefully examined the representations of
the carriers he has not yet reached con-
clusion as to what recommendation. if any,
he will make in this connection. If the
pay of the rural carriers is increased the
prospects are that the department will sug-
gest that they be placed on the same basis
as the carriers in the cities. In other words,
the department believes that if the pay is
increased the rural carrier should give his
time to the government and not engage in
other occupations.
Two hundred and sixty-six rural routes
have been established in Indiana since July

Differences Now i'm Dispute
General Labor News.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The ordering Of
the strike of structural iron workers
throughout the country against the men,
bers of the iron league was postponed to-
day as the result of the action taken by
Local No. 2, of the Housesmiths and
Bridgemens Union last night in empower
ing the executive committee of the Inter
national Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Steel Workers and it's own executive
committee to consider, with power to ac-
cept, the arbitration agreement proposed
by the employers. The arbitration agree
ment has been accepted by a number of
building trades unions in New York, but
the housesmiths. under the leadership of
Sam Parks, had steadfastly refused to con-
slider it until the last night President
Buchanan, of the International Union, said
had been postponed pending the action of
the joint meeting of the two committees.
With Sam Parks convicted Frank
Buchanan, president of the National AS
ISOLATION of Iron Workers. tonight per-
suaded local No. 2 the Parks union, to
take a long step toward agreeing to the
arbitration plan Of the employers associa-
ton. The man known as Parks's most bit
ter foe told the union it should be ashamed
of it's blind obedience to the commands of
criminal: told the men they were the
shame of organized labor OF this country
and concluded by pointing out to them that
the only possible outlook for peace and
work was in accepting the arbitration plan.
When Buchanan had finished the conserva-
tive element was in absolute control and
at the next meeting it was announced
charges will be preferred against Parks
and Mccarthy. The meeting finally decided
to leave the matter of the acceptance of
the plan of arbitration to the executive
committee of the internal association and

night. The contest has been remarkable
for it's vigor, and has been characterized
by considerable bitterness. Col Belknapi
made his fight principally on the pardon
record of Governor Beckham. while the cry
of the Democrats has been that a vote for
Belknap meant the pardoning of those
convicted of the murder of Governor Goe-

been charged by both sides and on yester-
day the Republicans swore out 160 war

will carry Louisville by from $500 to 5000

yesterday stated that efforts were being
made by the railroad managers to secure

thankful for an assurance that the sleep

THE HUMAN STRIDE
Denotes the Character of the Business
Man I'm Most Respects.

New Orleans Times Democrat
There is probably no wider field than that
of the business world in which to study the
different strides of men. There are all sorts
of characters in business in a large city,
and there is every opportunity to study the
various strides of the business man as he
daily walks the streets. There is no out
side influence brought to bear upon the
man whose steps take him over the even
streets of well-paved city. There is no
occasion for a man to acquire any particu-
lar step that is forced upon the sailor or the
farmer or the convict who acquire the step
peculiar to them wholly through habit.
Once these influences are removed the spe-
cific strides that they acquire in the daily
routine of their lives, whether they be upon
the sea. the farm or in the prison. they
fall back, or rather. they adopt the walk
to which they are directed by their indi-
vidual characters 1t Is a scientific fact
that there are certain parts of the human
frame, certain features, through which the
character OF man can be detected. The
character is often told The mouth, the
lips, also are good basis from which to
foretell the character of a person. 1t is
also claimed that by the eyebrows mans
character can be sized up. In fact, almost
every contour, every line. every bone, each
feature of the human body speaks plainly
for some part of mans character. If char
acter can be told by the shape of the nose,
by the contour of a cheek, by the lips, a
chin, hand, why can character not be told
by means of a mans walk? There are all
sorts of men and there are all sorts of
walks. There Is the walk of the man who
is conscious of his own Importance. There
are hosts of men who have a fine regard
for their own Importance, and many justly
So There is the walk of the bashful man,
that shy, self-conscious stride that is seen
so frequently. A man who walks in this
manner is one of rather unstable char
acter. man OF strong character. who is
perfectly sure OF himself will walk with a
firm, steady stride under almost all circum-
stances There is the walk of the bonn
bastic man. This man will never hesitate
i'm crossing the floor of public room. He
will walk with stride that tells you that
he knows himself. You can spot this sort
of man almost anywhere by the manner
OF his stride. There Is the thoughtful man.

MONOGAMY IN TURKEY.

Although of late years, among Turks

Lindsay expressed perfect confidence OF
victory. With an average vote, he said, the
Republican ticket would win by 1900 ma

of the past three years would he reversed
and he believed 1t was possible If the farm
ers would go to the polls. If the vote for

the same even way, unless he happens to be
in hurry to catch a street car. There is
the man of careless character, who goes
along with arms swinging and legs kicked
out before him as though he did not have

is easily told by his walk. If a man swag
