 'Montgomery's carriers certainly have a great deal of ground to cover, said the Inspector yesterday. and 1t Is likely there will be additions made in short time. Such an addition, should say. should provide for two men, which would bring the force up to nineteen"

Because of the Inconvenience of

Because of the Inconvenience of
some of the rural carriers Of the
country in making their rounds,
when interfered with by people who
are ignorant or do not care, the
government has sent out warnings
to these who use the roads travelled
by the carriers, defining the rights
and privileges OF the carriers. This
circular gives the rural carriers abb
solute right of way on all country
roads, and every other vehicle must
respect their right. A fine is pro-
vided for interference to the quick
and speedy delivery of mail on the
routes. 1t has been brought to the
notice of the department that in
some cases, rural carriers have been
delayed by parties getting in front
of them and driving slowly, com
pelling the carriers to wait until
the road is clear to go around. 1t
is to stop this practice that the
warning is given. The Extra
carriers have had comparatively
little trouble in this way, but some
other carriers of the county have
been bothered, and it will be we'll
for all who use roads where the
rural routes run to take notice of
the ruling of the department and
avoid trouble. Atlantic Telegra phi.

The following good rhyming
philosophy is going the rounds of
the press without credit:
"Man is little cuss and hasn't
long to stay; he flies around and
makes fuss and then he hikes
away. Some men imagine they are
great, and try to tear up Jack, but
each one meets the same old fate
and trots the same old track. Great

the men OF wealth and worth, into
an open grave must fall and
rumble back to earth. Then let's
not join the mad affray and struggle
like the deuce, and agouize our
lives away, for really what's the
use: Let's live and love and sing
the while, and work some now and
then, and give to everyone smile
that cheers the hearts of men.

REIGN OF MOLLY MAGUIRES.u Despotie Power Yielded by Famous
 Association of Criminals.

What the Molly Magures'' really were is thus told by Hartley Davis In his artl- cle, "The Coal Trust, the Labor Trust, and the People Who Pay in Every Lody's:
 "For fifteen years, from 1861 to 1876, the Molly Maguires' reign of terror lasted. It was a crininally unjust retribution, even for the wrongs that capital had inflicted; and it made the situation of labor far worse In the end By a flaw1ess system of intimidation, the sovereign 'Mollies' practically dictated labor matters through out the anthracite region. In many cases they were able to triple wages; they regulated the amount of labor; and they appointed or deposed men at pleasure, either by threats, injury Or assassination. Every Molly stood ready to murder if his superiors so ordered. Warning it is true, was usually sent to the'intended vic- tim in the form of a. crude drawing of a coffin, with the printed legend, This Is your house' but there was no evading the sure and stealthy vengeance of the 'Mollies' too experienced weapons. And so completely under cover were their en- tire proceedings that in the famous trial in 1876. when nineteen ringleaders were condemned to death, the extent of the assocation's power and depravity became known to a mortified public for the first time"

 As Queen of Spain Princess Ena will find herself mistress of no fewer than half dozen magnificent palaces, verit- able 'castles in Spain"
 There is. first of all, the splendid royal palace at Madrid great pile similar to Versailles, which was built by Philip ". 1t is a massive building, some 800 feet square, and It's most striking feature is a magnificent marble staircase. Some distance outside the capital and standing or a hill. which Is 3000 feet above the sea, is the ancient palace of the Escurlal + has rooms and corridors totaling 120 miles in length. 3O00 windows s6 staircases, S9 fountains and 19OO doors.
 At Aranjuez there is a brighter and more pleasant dwelling place, much more often visited by the Spanish court, while near San Ildefonso is the palace of La Granja. The King Alfonso has q delight full shooting box at Fl Pardo, and beau- tful seaside home, tEe Miramir palace at San Sebastian.
 At all these homes the usages and eti- duette of two centuries ago are still main tained. The fastidious decorum, the puri- ty of language, the respect for age and rank and sex are evident in every daily act Even in the relations existing be- tween the members of the royal family itself this punctiiousness is rigidly ob- served.
 Among the rules which Princess Ena is likely to find somewhat irksome is one requiring that the queen shall retire to bed at 10 o'clock in the summer and s;3O in the winter.
 Princess Ena and her mother. Princess Henry of Battenberg, are now in London
