Postmaster c. W. Buckley of Mont gomery. has just received from the Postoftice Department an important cir c9Iar letter relating to the numbering or all rural delivery mail boxes.
 Rural carriers are to be instructed to review the Sural mail boxes on their routes which have been in operation sixty days or more, and to report not later than September 30 which of them conform to the regulations and are en- titled to designattye numbers. It is otherwise unfit receptacles for mail shall be numbered. All such must be replaced with regulation approved" boxes by the owners or no numbers erected within the limits of an incor- porated city or town or within one half mile of postoffice shall be numbered October 3. 1903. or is being served by specific order of the department. Ser vice will not be withdrawn, however, from any box now being served until such withdrawal is expressly ordered by the department.
 The mail boxes are to be numbered in sequence on each route beginning with No l, the box nearest the dis tributing postofhce.
 The carrier is to record in his roster book the number of each box with name Of It's owner and other persons entitled to receive mall in that box. These numbers and names are to be reported to the postmaster and no change is to pS iiduS without authority or the post master. Each number Is to be furnish ed the owner of the box with the re- quest that he have the designated figure inscribed plainly on the box.
 Boxes served regularly by more than one route must, in eases where such double service is duly authorized, be given numbers in regular consecutive order on each route by the method al- ready described.
 New boxes erected subsequent to the original numbering, between those al- ready in position on a route and con secutively numbered will be designated by applying thereto in the regular or der the next consecutive numbers shown by the record of numbered boxes already on the route, to be unused The work of numbering boxes on newly established routes must not be under taken until the great majority are per- manently in place.
 Carriers are charged with the duty of reporting every change and every num- Der on their routes and postmasters are to keep an accurate record of boxes and their owners.
 Postmaster Buckley has been request ed to give as much publicity as possi- ble to this new order of the department. t.

SETS LAW ASIDE FOR HERO
PRESIDENT REWARDS LABoRER
IN POSTAL SERVICE.
Man Who Risked Life Fighting Rob-
bers Promoted without TAX
ing Examination.


Washington, Dec. q. - As q reward
for defending the post ONCE at Emma,
N. G., four years ago against four bur-
glars, President Roosevelt has waived
the civil service regulations upon the
recommendation Of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou and given 8. III. Aiexan.
der a Christmas gift Of q promotion
from a laborer TO clerkship in the de-
partment Not only has the brave
North Carolinian been promoted, but, to
accentuate the honor, an oficlal state
ment was issued Tuesday which gives
a full account Of the deed. The attempt
ed robbery took place on the night OF
February 9, 1901, and the onlcial Y 4c.
count says:
After the store In which the post Of
flee at Emma IL located closed for the
night, Mr.. Alexander, who had been
sleeping In the room adjoining, heard q
knock on the door and inquired what
was wanted. He was told that some one
living near wanted his mall, and he tin-
barred the door. Two masked men en-.
tered, covered him with revolver and
commanded him TO give up his own ro-
yoiyer and open the freproof safe.
While one OF the burglars, Frank John
SON, who had laid his revolver on the
desk near the safe, was STOPPING in the
act OF looting the safe, and during a
moment when the other burglar, Ben
Foster, had his head turned, Alexander
seized the idle revolver and shot the
latter near the heart. He attempted 10
shoot Johnson also, but failed TO do so
as the revolver snapped.
"A desperate struggle followed. Eos
ter, although seriously wounded, pur-
sued Alexander and shot him In the abb
domen, the bullet coming out at the
back. Alexander, seeing Foster about
to shoot at him again, swung Johnson
around 80 that the bullet struck John
sons left shoulder. Alexander's face
and, hands wero badly cut and bruised
before he overpowered the burglars.
Alexander managed, however, to pul
thep both out of the building and "a
call out a signal Of distress and then
tainted. The postmaster, hearing this
signal, came to Alexander's relief and
found him lying weak and faint in q
pool Of blood.
His bravery Is the more accentuated
when It 10 known that Mr.. Alexander ID
q man Of small stature, probably not
more than five feet six inches tall, and
weighs less than 125 pounds" The
statement concludes by saying the two
burglars were hanged and two accom-
plices sent 70 prison for lIfe.
