ON SALE OF STAMPS

Third Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Edwin Z. Madden, In bis annual
report, says that the reform of the
abuses Of the second class mailing
privileges ,is moving steadily for
ward, and can be completed In two
years. Upward Of thirty publica.
tions are still involved In court
proceedings on the question Of
second class privileges, and on the
result of these cases a great part of
the reform depends. Mr.. Madden
expects court proceedings will be
ended within the next few months.
and the way then opened to complete
the reforms.
Mr.. Madden recommended that
congress consolidate the third and
fourth classes of mail matter and fix
the rate of postage at one cent for
each two ounces or fraction thereof.
The report compares the expendi-
ture for rural free deliver and the
deficiency In postal revenue for the
last three fiscal years, and says:
1.-THE rate Of increase In expendi.
ture for the introduction and main.
tenance of the rural free delivery
was more than 100 per cent per year.
whereas the normal per cent of in
crease for the whole service has been
approximately IL per cent. But for
this sudden aud extraordinary in
crease In expenditure for practi.
cally new though necessary branch of
the postal service, the deficiency In
the postal revenue by the natural
operation of things under the system
of administration now prevailing
would have been almost II not en-

The gross selling value of stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers
issued to postmasters was slS, S,75l,-

tion. The total number Of pieces of

NEW ENGLAND NOT

Editor Advertiser: find this in to-
town meetings originated in the de-
termination of New England colonists
to govern themselves in all matters
that were municipal In the interest
of historic truth, exception must be
taken to this statement. Township
government is not conception but
a growth, a political fabric, the warp
and wool of which has been woven on
the Roaring loom of time Win
throp, Robinson, Endicott and Brad
ford brought it from old England to
New England. It was brought to
Virginia by the founders of that col
ony under a slightly different name
viz: .vestry meeting. 1t is the Oldest
form of government known to the
Indo- European race. 1t was brought
to England bv our Anglo-Saxon ances-
tors in the sixth and seventh centu-
ries of our era. It was known and
commented upon by Tacitus in his
"Germania." 1t is of very ancient
origin in Russia. there known under
the name Of the Mir. Sir Henry
Main. in his Primitive Society," says
that it was known to the Aryans while
they yet lived in central Asia. The
township was the geographical area of
the clan, and the town meeting was the
open government of the clan, in full
meeting by the assembled people.
New England is the originator of many
benefcent institutions in government
and education for the Improvement of
man; but let us not claim too much
for her. She is the author Of neither
the mince-pie, the doughnut, the chow
der, the town meeting nor the Ten
Commandments. She has developed
and applied all these things in a most
benefcent way, under conditions which
she found the most favorable in the
new world.

HAWAIIAN
LIGHTHOUSES
Governors Carter Wants
Separate District
Created.

Governor Carter is much gratif1ed
Survey Department has prepared sur
veys and descriptions of Hawaiian
lighthouse properties, which he will for
ward to Washington by the next mail
The Governor said yesterday after
noon that he did not propose to make a
proclamation of the lighthouse sites for
the present. because there are some in
which the Government has not the
title and others whose locations are
neither definite nor suitable.
Governor Carter has written to Dele
gate Kuhio to take up the matter with
Secretary Cortelyou of Labor and
Commerce, under whose department is
the Lighthouse bureau, also with Sec
rotary Moody of the Navy and Secre-
tary Shaw of Finance. In his letter
to the Delegate the Governor suggests
a plan whereby the Federal authorities
may Immediately declare these Islands
a new lighthouse district, and not SIM
ply a part of the California district,
and appoint an inspector to take
charge of it. Consultation with the
head of the Finance Department is rec
commended so that there will be no
hitch in provision of means, and with
the head of the Navy Department so
that the U. S. S. Iroquois may help in
establishing and maintaining the sys-
tenn of lighthouses.
Surveyor Walter E. Wall, in his re-
port, gives descriptions by metes and
| bounds of eleven lighthouse premises.
He suggests that if parcels of land are
| to be set aside as for public purposes
| by proclamation, clause be added
| subject to any private rights that may
exist"
| Undoubtedly it will be found by ex-
! perts, the Surveyor sets forth, that
| some of the lighthouses can be located
| to better advantage than at present
! Again, there are a number of other
| points where lighthouses are much
| needed. Sites can easily be obtained
| for the reason that the land is of little
or no use for any other purpose.
There is no description of Honolulu
/, harbor light sites, because the property
already belongs to the Federal Gov
eminent.
1t is reported impracticable by Mr..
| Wall to set aside the sites occupied by
! Kaunakakai, Lahaina and Maalaea. AT
| Kaunakakai the range lights are sit
uated inshore and on the line of private
buildings. The lights should be moved
out to the mud flats. L4ahaina light is
situated between the wharf and street
property on a parcel of land too linn
tied for anything more than the pres
ent structure. Maalaea light is hoist
ed on a pole at the end of the wharf.
Surveyor Wall furnishes the follow
| ing list with geographical locations of
+ the eleven existing lighthouses:
1. BARRIERS Point, 21:17:5s N, 158:

CHICAGO TO GULF
Some of the Details of the New
Line.
Ii Will Go From Chicago to New
Orleans-Part of Rock Island.

Chicago, June 24-The Chicago, st.
Louis, Memphis and New Orleans
Railway company will be the name OF
the Rock Island Frisco extension to
New Orleans, and this road will take
in the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
St, Louis, Memphis and Southeastern
and the New Orleans extension and
terminals, making a eystem of about
! 800 miles
The system will form a thorough
line from Chicago toNew Orleaus, and
water level line from St. Louis
south, and it should be an important
factor for the New Orleans trade and
a-strong competitor of the Illinois
Central and Louisville and Nashville.
IL may be decided to include the
Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf, about
1000 lies, into the new SYSTEM,
which road would prove valuable
feeder for New Orleans business.
The JOINT use OF the tracks between
the Frisco and Gould properties of 800
miles Of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern will serve the purpose
of the new Rock Island company as
well as an independe nt line, as all the
Rock Island needs is a connecting link
for its through business to New Or.
leans.
1t is proposed to exchange the Sc
curities Of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois and st. Louis, Memphis and
Southeastern for those of the new
company, ana at the same time an
amount of new securities will be is
sued sufficient to provide for the New
Orleans extension and terminals, one
half of which will be owned by the
Southern railway.

Mayor Yeiser Evidently Intends
to Ignore Ministers.
Says He Does Not Care to Be
Interviewed on That at
Present.
CEMETERY COMMITTEE TO MEET

Mayor Yeiser is the same genial,
affable candidate he always was, and
you can't find out anything more
about what he thinks or is going to do
than In former years when he donued
the gum shoes to make a still hunt for
office.
What about that answer the Min
isterial association expects from you,
Mr.. Mayor, in regard to municipal
morsls?" he was asked today.
"You haven't seen any answer from
me yet, have you ?" was his smiling
reply.
do you intend to reply to the
charge that the questioners have been
ignored by you ?" he was asked.
II have nothing to say" was the
sententious rejoinder.
1t Is consequently plain that the I'D.
miDistration is to make no reply to
the questions propouuded by the min
listers except what is contained in the
card from Marshal Crow publis he'd re-
Gently. The city hall officials laugh
when asked about replying to charges
against the administration and say
that politics is game that more than
one can play at, and Mayor Yeiser re-
mains as mum as an oyster.
81 will talk about city business, E"
he said to reporter. but not about
my own. You can say that 1 shall call
a meeting of the cemetery committee
of the glneral council for Friday af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock to take some &C.
tion towards pricing the new lots in
Oak Grove. We have not yet settled
on what chsrges shall be fixed on
them, but expect to do so then"

A FEW OTHER CASES TRIED

Attorney D. A. Gross, who is acting
Judge of the police court, is establish
ing record that promises to make
him terror to evil-doers. especially
those who are in the habit of boarding
with the lookup keeper about two
thirds of their time. Many colored
offenders, and some white ones, man
age to get back in the lookup ss soon
as they get out, and Acting Judge
Gross will give them all the time they
want on the city streets during his
term.
Today John Lewis, colorod, who
was released from the lookup yester-
day, was presented on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. The evidence
showed that he went to the home of
some white women on the North Side
last night when no men were around
and aroused them to borrow an Ok. f"
His conduct was very peculiar, to say
the least, and he could give no salts
factory explanation of it, although he
was probably full OF coke" A fine
of 500 was assessed against him and
he was informed that the next time
he comes up before Judge Cross he
will be given fifty days in Jail in ad-
ditiop.
Mary Brown, oolored, displayed a
faulty memory in regard to the num-
Der Of times she had been in police
court lately. She couldn't remember
to save her life. She was charged
with assaulting and abusing Maude
Titsborth, colored, and said she did it.
but only after she had been abused.
The Ellsworth woman of course told O
different tale, and said the woman
pulled her hair out and choked her,
and had the bunch of hair in court to
prove it. On account Of the defend
ants delicate condition she was not
fined, but both were placed under
$500 bond TO do no more fighting and
released.
The warrant against Fairfax Craig,
for refusing to support his child, was
dismissed, as the violation seems to
have been unintentional He has
brought suit for divorce, but the case
has never been tried, and his wife
lives on Court street, where the father
objects to the ohild's being kept. He
says he will support it if 1t is taken
to a suitable place, but otherwise not.
The court advised him to prosecute
the divorce suit ana get the child.
James McNulty was fined $40 and
costs for violation of the Sabbath.
Annie Singleton, colored, who is an
old offender and is such frequenter
Of the prisoners dock that the negro
spectators giggled when tine court asked
her if she had ever been there before,
pleaded guilty to being drunk and dis
orderly and throwing Il brick through
Mr.. A. Denker's showcase. She was
fined only s25 and costs.
Jennie Hester and Sam Phillips,
charged with stealing a watch, were
held to answer, and others may be im-
plicated in the theft before the case is

Freight Trains Wrecked Near
Dawson Last Evening.
One Man Missing and Is Supposed to
Have Been Killed-Severa
We're Hurt
EXACT CAUSE Is UNKNOWN

There was head-end freight COLI
sion between two freight trains last
night on the l. O. just 500 yards north
of Dawson, and one man is missing
and Sc seral injured as result of the
smash.up. One engine was knocked
100 feet off the track and the tanks Of
two other engines totally wrecked.
The trains were freights No. ISL,
engine No. "a, in charge of Conductor
j. W. Mccain, Engineer Charles
Underwood and Fireman Steinberr,
and No. 1876, engines Nos. 1854 and
20, No. 1876 beirG double header, in
charge Of Conductor ]. H. Fink,
Engineer z. Shegog and Fireman T.
O. Anderson on No. 22 and Engineer
Tom ]. Mullen and Fireman Tora
Grammon on 1854. No. 1854 is a
total wreck and was knocked dis
tauce from the track. The tanks Of
engines 22 and "a were total wrecks
and one car of train No. 1876 was
totally wrecked. Nine cars of No
i61 were wrecked, the remainder Of
the train escaping injury.
All enginemen jumped and saved
themselves from probable fatal in
juries, and the only man missing is
Ed johnson, a colored brakeman who
was on the tank of No. 1164. He has
not been found and it is thought hs
was killed in the wreck and his re-
mains covered by the debris of the
wreckage.
Fireman Grammon of Louisville is
perhaps the worst injured, having
shoulder dislocated and his body badly
cut and bruised in several places
Fireman Underwood of Memphis sus-
tanned slight injuries about the head
in alighting, his scalp being lacersted
in several places. Engineer Shegog's
back was wrenched and Fireman
Steinberg was bruised about the body
in alighting. Conductor Fink escaped
with slight cut behind the left ear
Engineer Mullen had a lip cut and
several bad bruises about the body,
but all came in ON No. 1871, the ac-
eommodatIon train, having not boon
too badly injured to walk, except
Grammon, who was kept at Dawson
under the care of the railroad physt-
clan. He will be brought here as soon
as he is able TO be moved.
william Martin, a colored brake
man, jumped and sustained injuries
about the lower limbs His legs
were cut by running into a barbed
wire fence.
Engines Nos. 90 and "a locked to-
gether and will have to be brought in
together. The wreck was one OF the
worst seen on this division in some
time and the loss to the /. O. will
amount to a great deal.
The cause of the accident is sup
posed to lie in the fact that both en-
gineers tried to take opposite switches
and neither succeeded. they met
while running very fast and the escape
Of the enginemen AMI train crews is
considered miraculous. Another cause
given is that No. l5l was running
ahead of time, but the real cause will
be determined in the investigation.
The local wrecker was sent out from
here last night and is still working on
the wreck. The fast Louisville pas
senger train, No. l0l. was delayed
many hours, not arriving until
o'clock this morning, running thirteen
hours late.
A coal car broke down at Horton,
KY, near Louisville, yesterday after
noon and delayed the fast passenger
