A party of Augusta gentlemen, in
which are A. T. Fuller, r. w. Soule,
Geo. w. Wadleigh and Jos. Williamson,
have purchased tract of about 900
acres of land surrounding Silver lake,
on the northern border of Augusta, and
although their plans for the future have
not been made public it is probable
that something will be done in the way
of improving the locality. Inclosed
within the boundaries of the purchase
are some five or six lakes, which though
small, are very picturesque, and well
adapted to the location of a summer
colony, in fact one cottage has already
been erected at Silver lake, the largest
of the group. A large part of the land
is heavily wooded with pine, some of
which is being cut off. A driveway is
also being cleared around the different
lakes so that those who visit the locality
may see its natural beauty.

New York, April 6.-Mrs. Louise
Ames Van Weik killed herself IN the
Hotel Washington in Jersey City dur
ing the day She was a blonde and
good looking, and arrived IN Jersey
City from the west over the Pennsyl-

MORE EXTRAVAGANCE

Postmasters All Over Coun-
tryTell How Offices Have
Been Overstocked

Washington. April G.-Evidence OF
extravaganza in the rural free .elivery
division of the posoofice department
is on the increase. It is becoming
apparent that all kinds Of supplies
have been purchased in enormous
quantities, whether actually needed or
not. and distributed over the country.
Numbers OF letters are e.being received
by high officers of the department
from postmasters that tell how Offices
have been overstocked with supplies
not needed This material was sent
from washington, and not requested
by the postmasters.
Time clocks. books, typewriters,
cash registers and similar articles
have been furnished when the efilces
supplied were already equipped. Now
that an inquiry into methods and ad-
ministration is progressing many post
masters are willing to give evidence
who previously maintained silence.
The plan of Ovarstockins the post
Offices was begun three or four years
ago and has been continued until the

cessive prices we're paid for all the
material purchased. The impression
is that somebody must have prohted
by the transactions, but this must be
developed by the investigation now
being prosecuted by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster Bristow, of the division
Of postofice supplies.
II there have been recklessness and
extravagance of the character indi-
Gated by postmasteHs in their letters
It would be largely manifested through
this division There are also letters
showing undue liberality in the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of free de-
livery routes.
Il is said great influence has been
brought to bear upon the president to

Forms Chief Topic Of DISCUSSION az
the Vatican.
Rome. April e.-The chief topic Of
discussion at the Vatican continues
to be whether or not King Edward will
see the Pope. The ceremonial pro-
posed, that the king should start from
the British embassy. is much opposed,
not because he would be starting from
the residence of an ambassador ac-
credited to the Quirinal, for the king
once there, say the Vatican authori-
ties, It ceases to be an embassy to be-
come the house of the sovereign, but
because Cardinal Rampolla must re-
turn the royaltvisit to the POntiff, and
he would arrive at. the house when
King Edward having left 1t had be-
come again an embassy accredited TO
the king of Italy.
It is suggested that King Edward
on leaving the Vatican should return
to the British embassy, followed close
ly by Cardinal Rampolla who would
arrive while the king was still there.
The objection against this course is
that it would create a precedent The
