REPORT OF MADDEN.
Reform of Abuse of Second Class
 Mail Privileges.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Third Assistant
 Postmaster-General Edwin c. Madden, in his annual report. says that the reform
 of the abuse of the second class mail priv ileges is moving steadily forward and can
 DC completed in two years.
 Upward of thirty publications 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. MT. Madden ex- poets the court proceedings will be end ed within the next few months and the way then opened to complete the reform. MT. Madden recommends that Congress consolidate the third and fourth-clas sses of mall matter and fix the rate of post age at one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof.
 The report compares the expenditures
 for rural free delivery and the deficiency
 in postal revenue for the last three fiscal
 years. and says:
 The rate of increase in expenditure for the introduction and maintenance of
 the rural free delivery service has been | more than 100 per cent per year, whereas | the normal percentage of increase for the whole service has been approximately Il per cent. But for this sudden and extraordinary increase in expenditure fer 1 new, though necessary, branch of the postal service. the deficiency in the pos tai revenue by the natural operation of things under the system of administra | ton now prevailing, would have been almost, if not entirely, eliminated"

A Fine Article.

To the December number of the Atlantic Monthly Major R. L. Bullard contributes a strikingly interesting paper upon Road Building among the Moros. Major Bull lard's experience while experimenting the construction of highways In the wider parts of the Philippines are peculiarly in- structive. His actual dealings with the Filipinos in the course of this very close and concrete contract with them make an excellent and readable story, which will afford edifying reading both to persons who are in favor of the policy of the ad- ministration in the islands and to those who opose it. Major Bullard is an Ala hamian and has made record of which his home may well be proud

 For sometime past there has been talk at the University of lessening the num- Der of dances given and participated in by the students. A committee consisting of one representative from each class and also one from each fraternity met with President Abercrombie to decide the number of dances that might be given by the students, but no definite step was taken other than to suggest that in the future subscription dances be prohibited, as 1t was learned that a large per cent. of the dances given are gotten up by subscription. The committee will meet again with President Abercrombie to- morrow afternoon. when some definite action will be decided on.

In Lighting His Pipe Drummer Fires the Mosquito Netting and Has More Smoke Than
 Bargalned For.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Dec. 3. A fire which might have had disastrous consequences, but which resulted only in a sudden and unexpected and very in formal gathering of guests, was discov- cred and extinguished in a room on the third floor of the Hotel Albert at 12:30 this morning.
 Guests were aroused from sleep by the dense smoke which filled the corridors and rooms. and after a diligent search the members of the fire department found smouidering blaze in a bed upon which calmly lay travelling man. pipe in mouth. who explained that he 'jus-wan- ner-lfl-smoke" before he retired for the night. He was having the smoke all right.
 The fire was extinguished before 1t caused any noteworthy damage
 It was shortly after midnight that guests in the hotel were awakened by smoke which filled the corridors and minutes the clerk was on the floor and all the guests, in costumes that were nearer negligee than de rigeur. thronged the hall and in trepidation searched for the fire that must be the concomitant or so much smoke. But with all the dense and choking clouds not blaze was to be found and the fire department was called to find a fire and then put 1t out of business. A member of the department finally discovered the fire in a room on the third floor of the north wing. The door could not be opened and a man was sent through the transom. He found the room even smokier than anything else he had been in. Upon the bed lay the guest as- signed to the room. He had tried to light a pipe. and had lighted the pipe and the mosquito netting and the bed. The flames were easily extinguished and the guests retired once more to peaceful slumber.
