Anomaly Among Convicts.

JACKSON, Mich, August 23.-An anom-
aly among convicts has been brought to
light In the case Of ]. M. Leonard, a uni
versity graduate and once a county at
torney, who has been serving an indie
terminate sentence for burglary at the
state prison. Leonard has prepared his
own papers Of appeal to the United States
circuit court to release him from conf1ne-
ment under the provisions of the indeter-
inmate sentence law.
Leonard was sent to Jackson in 1894 for
ten to fifteen years. Since that time a
new state law has been enacted providing
that in all cases where offenses were COM
mitted prior to the passage of the new law
the minimum sentence was valid. Leonard
claims that in his case the operation of
the law was retroactive, and that his SEN
tence Is therefore wholly void. The papers
in the case presented on a writ of GER
tiorari, will be in the hands of the proper
officials today. Upon the decision will de-
pend the Imprisonment of many other pris-
oners in addition to those released under
the decision of the state supreme court.

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW.
Postmasters Had Trouble Getting Peo-
pie to Stick Them on Envelopes.

From the Galveston Tribune.
When postage stamps first came into
use" said a veteran postal clerk, THE pub
lie didn't know how to handle them. You
remember how when tea and coffee first
appeared among us, the people fried the
tea leaves and the coffee berries and serv-
ed them with salt and pepper? Well the
people treated their stamps as abSurdly in
1854.
Some folks would put the stamps inside
their letters. out of sight. Here is the
official notice that we issued to stop that
practice
The clerk took from the drawer an aged
bulletin that said:
The stamps upon all letters and pack
ages must be affixed on the outside thereof,
and above the address thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew forth
another one
People would pin the stamps on their
letters instead of cumming them" he said.
"and when they did gum them they would
not do it right. Hence this second bulIe .

Persons posting letters should afiix tho
requisite number of stamps previous to de-
posting them in the letter receivers as
VIXEN posted in a damp state the stamps
are liable to rub off and thereby cause the
letters to be treated as unpaid Do not pin
on the stamps
STILL said the clerk, the public didn't
understand. Think of it-it didn't under
stand the simple matter of sticking a post
age stamp on letter. So we got out 4

From the london Express.

From the KOndon Express.
There is much pathos in the story of the
years sum of lost umbrellas Few indeed
are the citizens from whom at one time or
another a wel-tried companion in many
a storm has not been taken to swell the
great total of the missing
Most men are sensitive where their UNI
brelas concerned and the saddest fact
of all to them is that there is means
of restoring the lost, strayed or stolen
edy that suggests itself. But on inquiry
an Express representative found that there
is not a single insurance office In London
that makes speciality of making provision
for the loss of umbrellas. Dogs, cats. ba-
bies and bicycles can be insured. Several
companies make themselves responsible for
KEYS and season tickets. 1t is even posi-
BILE to insure against the risk OF forgery,
but against the umbrella thief there is no
protection.
To the manager of an insurance company
the Express representative ventured to sug-
gest bureau where umbrella might DO
numbered like a bunch of keys, and where
the finder would be rewarded.
1T has been tried" was the reply 1.-THE
firm gave it up in despair.
THE amount OF the premium does not
encourage customers. A shilling a year in
sures key ring, but umbrellas are so liza
BILE to loss that the premium would be al
most equal to the actual value of the UNI
brella.
THE numbering of all umbrellas in q

would be sufficient protection against acci-

then be found simply by consulting tho
