REDUCED THE OFFICE.
IndianoIa Now Gets Into the Fourth
Class.


Class.
Washington Aug. 15.-The postoffice
at Indianola, Miss, which figured con-
spicuously last year in a race trouble
on account of the then negro post
master, Minnie Cox. and which was
closed for months by order of the
President, has been reduced from a
presidential office to the fourth class.
The Postoflice Department explains
that this action was due to the re-
ceipts of that Office for the last fiscal
year falling below the minimum amount
established for presidential offices, and
not to any desire Of the department
to further show its disapproval Of the
course taken by certain of the citizens
of the town toward the former in
cumbent of the office, Minnie Cox.
Before taking final action in reduc-
ing the rank Of the office. the authori-
ties of the department wrestled with
the problem of whether in figuring up
the receipts Of the Indianola Office ac-
count should be taken that the OffiCe
was closed for two whole quarters Of
a year. The assistant attorney general
for the department held that II would
be proper to credit the Office with esti-
mated receipts for the time 1t was
closed, but when the question was sub
mitted TO the controller Of the treas
ury, the latter promptly decided that
no such estimate was legal and the
Postoffice Department had no alterna-
tive in the matter.

Steel and Iron Company were opened
to-day after an idleness since July IL.
No statement has been made as to the
number of men at work. The same
company also has put into operation
four coke ovens.
The attitude of the negro members
of the United Mine Workers is giving
strike leaders and operators much
concern. The colored membership, so
far. has been standing firm with the
white representation, but it is reported
now that the negroes are advising ne
groes to return to work Officials of
the miners union say the negroes will
not heed this advice.
1t is reported that a considerable
number of la borers will be brought
into the district this week. to take the

A Plaque of Field Mice.

In that part of France which
lies between the Loire and the Ga
rome there has broken out a plague
of field mice similar to one which
devastated the pastures in the south
Of Scotland few years ago. 1t has
been calculated that their holes
amount to about 10000 in the acre,
and about 100000 acres are affect
ed. A commission has been formed
by the French government to in
vestigate the cause and cure, and
some interesting experiments have
been tried. Professor Loelller, 8
well known scientific man in Ger
many, proposed to inoculate the
mice with the bacillus of typhus,
but the disease was not contagious,
and the cost was considerable.

Napoleon Ills Tardy Coronation.

Among the French coins which
are no longer current are, as is well
known. those of a less value than
francs, struck prior to 1852, and
nearly everybody has had a diff
Guilty in making them circulate. But
now their progress has been made
comparatively easy and that by a
very simple means. The head Of
Napoleon III. was uncrowned, and
that rendered them easy to be dis
tinguished. Some ingenious indi-
viduals have now undertaken the
coronation ceremony by means Of
an engraving tool, and unless great
attention is paid it is very difficult
to tell them from the others. The
only thing one wonders at is that
the dodge has not been resorted tc
before.-Paris Messenger.

Silent" Smith.

James Henry Smith-"Siient'
Smiths regarded as the most
eligible bachelor in New York. He
is worth aboat $40,e90,000. and,
although he is just fifty years old,
he looks to be abcm forty. the right
age. Mr.. Smith recently bought the
Whitney mansion, and his social ac-
Invites have been noticeably in
creased. This gives rise to the old
report that he is about to marry.
Society and the newspapers have
had him engaged about twenty
times in the last year, but the silent
man of millions-the richest bach

emerged unscathed and unmarried.
