LOST III w1rDs
Terrible Experience Of Hunter Who
Made q Thrilling Journey.

Victoria fB. Oh Corr. st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
A thrilling hunting season adventure Is
reported from Alberni where, with shoes
almost dropping from his bleeding feet.
clothing that was merely maze of rags
and EATERS. and the general appearance Of
q wild man. Antonio Delponte of Cumber-
land succeeded in dragging himself up to a
farmhouse at the head of the Aiberni VAL
ley Between wolflsh bites at food placed
before him he explained that he had spent
five days and nights lost In the bush.
Meanwhile, several parties had been
searching for him.
DelpOnte's adventure was curious. He
left Cumberland for hunt, making for the
mountains east OF Ash lake. In the thick
bush of that neighborhood he unconsciousiy
crossed the divide and wandered over to the
Great Central lake side of the range. and
there became utterly confused by the count
less small streams and dense underbrush.
Day followed day, and, losing all sense of
locality or direction. Delponte, famished
and frantic. pushed deeper and deeper into
the wilderness. The fortunate discovery
of few rotten potatoes in an abandoned
prospectors cabin came in time to save him
from sinking. Shortly afterward grouse
fell to his gun. and was eaten raw, and
with better strength Delponte turned south.
On the evening of the fifth day out the
distant sound of a shot came to the ears
of the lost hunter the first evidence of
human habitation. 1t was heard in time to
cause the 1dpieSS man 10 deSlSt in a second
swim across Stamp river, which, If con-
tinued. would have taken him again Into
the wllds of the Great Central lake or Elk
river. and to almost certain death.
The fact that, deceived by the crossing
of the mountains. Delponte traversed all
the unexplored country between Cumber-
land and Alherni in five days and nights Is
matter of marvel TO bushmen,. who can
explain the possibility of such a perform
ance only by the strength OF seni-madness
Delponte's accomplishment, however con-
tradicts the accepted theory as to the in
accessibility of the Great Central lake coun-
try, and prospecting in that locality prom
ises to be considerably stimulated.
Another Vancouver Island man to expert
ence the unpleasant sensation of being lost
in the woods Is W. Lowder of the Tyee
smelter. He went hunting on Sunday last
with a friend, striking into the bush near
Haslam creek. The arrangement was that
the two were to meet at their starting point
four hours later Lowder did not show
up, and after waiting for hours search
was organized. 1t was late at night when
the lost man was located, exceedingly tired
and hungry, but uninJured.

POSTAL SYSTEMS ABROAD.
Profits Much More in France Than in
Germany. .

Consul E. Theophilus Liefeld of Freiburg,
Baden, sends comparative statistics to the
Department of Commerce and Labor on the
activities of the French and German postal
systems. A specially interesting fact is
found In the tremendous quantity of picture
postal cards OH, $4,000 which annually
cucumber the German mails. He writes:
1.-THE German papers have been giving
their readers a comparative study of the
post Office departments In the two coun-
tries, much to the advantage of the Ger
man system. In Germany there are 90, 367,-
coo Inhabitants, while in France there are
only 81, 1852 600 In Germany the number of
post offices Is 0S2 to every l. 900 inhabitants,
and 4.3 officials to every LOCO people; In
France the number Is only 0.29. and only
Germany there were 7S,4S1 letters to every
LOCO persons. and IN France, Ga, $50 Ger
many far surpasses France in the sale and
manufacture of picture postals, which Prob
ably accounts for the fact that Germany
sent LII. $4,000 postal cards and France
only $4,000, co.,
s,As regards packages with value stated.
387 for every 1000 inhabitants were sent in
France. with a value of $50. 259. SO, and in
Germany with 239, but with a value of s77.-
1863. %.
Germany sent 2.944 postal money orders
for every 1000 persons, representing a value
of $42.072.26 and France sent only 1908,
representing value of $S.700.44 from
which 1t would appear that in France more
than in Germany large amounts are sent
by means of bank drafts instead of money
orders The German post Office also makes
more use of the system of collecting on de-
livery OF packages or letters (Post-Nach-
nahme). The German seems to make more
use of the telephone, while the Frenchman
prefers the telegraph.
although the work of the German post
Office Is mulch greater than that of the
French, the net receipts are far less, from
which the conclusion Is drawn that the Ger
man post Office Is managed for the benefit
OF the people and the French post office
for the financial gain to the government.
During the year from which the above facts
are taken the receipts OF the German post
office were $110.274 900. and the expendi-
OF 81, 066, 600; while In the case OF France
the amounts were respectively $50. O06, 900
and FL. 6SS 600. leaving net pront OF $23,
$4,000

at New York.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE anniyer-
sary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson
was observed by Il largely attended
Democratic banquet at the Waldorf
Astoria last night. Among the speakers
We're former Chief Justice Alton b. Par
ker, late candidate for president; Mayor

Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, former

Joseph j.. Willett of Alabama. Sena.
tors Newlands and Carmack, who had
been scheduled to address the meeting,
did not do so.
Judge Parker, after referring to the
recent defeat of the Democratic ma
tional ticket, which he attributed to
division and faction in the party's
ranks, to the use of governmental pow
er for partisan purposes, to the reck-
less and unprecedented expenditure of
money and to demagogic appeals to
widely separated interests, reviewed
the political history of the country
since the civil war. He then turned
to the subjects of trusts, the tariff and
Imperialism, which he discussed at
length. In conclusion he said:
IF we &re to deal effectively with
these various issues, whether in oppo-
sition or in power, it will he necessary
to have a real party with real followers
attached TO real and recognized princi-
pies. 1t is not enough that it shall have

useless and some of them dangerous

too many of these, because it is safe to
assert of a policy that if it is radical it
