yesterday, which in a short time will
be installed on our streets, where thew

nothing of the kind has ever been seen
in any of the towns in the central part
of the State,ife even in-the larger cities.
They are something in manner new.
When first seen sitting along the
street they will no doubt excite much
wonder ana will be associated with
anything else than letter box They
are cabinet-like in form. nearly two
feet square and four feet high, made
of sheet steel and painted aluminium
color.
| In the top of the box is compaIt-
ment, constructed somewhat on the
principle of the letter boxes, which
will admit newspapers as we'll as
packages nearly as large as a man S
head. Immediately below is slot to
admit letters. Near the base of the
closet. Opening this on his rounds the
carrier will find the collection of pack
ages, which have dropped down from
the top. Immediately above this is a
smaller compartment, which being
opened reveals the letters.
One of these boxes will be placed on
Mill street somewhere near Market
of Mill street near Bloom street. They
will prove of great convenience to the
people, who previously when they had
newspapers or packages to mail were
obliged to walk to the post office.

NATIONAL MILITARY
home At DAYTON

William Wallace Danville veteran,
at present an inmate of the National
Military Home at Dayton, Ohio. has
arrived in this city on visit and is
snugly domioiled at the Heddens
House.
Mr.. Wallace came to Danville in
1866. He enlisted from here and after
the war was over he returned to our
town and resided here until about
three years ago when he entered the
Military Home. He is an able music
ian and plays in the Military band at
the Dayton Home. He is at present
enjoying furlough.
The soldiers home at Dayton is an
enormous institution, covering six
d; hundred and forty acres Of land. There
| are five Thousand inmates at the home.
but circumstance illustrating how
fast the old soldiers are passing away
is the pathetic fact that in the oeme-
terry connected with the home ten
Thousand veterans lie sleeping, who
ionce were inmates but have answered
the last roll call. Mr.. Wallace sayt
that on the average there are probably
three funerals day. The numerous
deaths are taken as matter of course
and while they may have a depressing
effect on limited circle as they relate
to the entire home, which resembles ,
large community in itself, they ma,
be said to pass unnoticed.
That Uncle Sam treats his defender
most generously will be gathered from
the fact that the ex-soldiers at tn
Home are permitted to retain thei
pensions, are clothed and fed beside
and whenever they do any work TO
the Home are paid for it. The disoi
pline is strict, but Mr.. Wallace say
that any one in the least circumspec
and oonsiderate has an easy and
pleasant time Of it. Life is never dul
especially during the summer. whe
the Home is visited by thousands O
persons daily.

Engineers Painful Injury.

plant, met with bad accident, Satur-
day, which came near resulting in the
loss of finger. While at work tile
second finger on his left hand was
caught between the eccentric and
the governor of the engine in such a
way as to mangle it dreadfully.
Mr. Wagner was removed to his
home at Grand and Nassau streets.
Drs. Newbaker and Shultz were called
in attendance. There was little hope
at first of saving the injured finger,
but later on ths doctors became more
confident. Every effort will be made
to avert amputation. Mr.. Wagner was
doing very well yesterday.

Of Okhotsk, instead of Vladivostok.
The Russians. it is stated, have been

Petropavlovsk is the capital of Kam-

of the peninsula on the bay of Avatcha.
It is about 1900 miles north east of
Vladivostok in a straight line and the
Russians will have to sail greater
distance to make it by sea. The port
is small and the normal population
