The Caskets Are Empty.

Rome, Jan. 1S.-Devout Catholics
here are much exercised over the dis
covery that the caskets in the little
chapel at the head of the holy stairs
Of st. John Lateran, which were sup
posed TO contain holy relics, are
empty, and have been so for nobody
knows how long.
No one except Luther ever set
foot upon the holy stairs, all who
approached the chapel going up rev.
erently on their knees. in the belief
that the caskets before which they
bowed contained such inestimable
treasures as a piece of the cross up
on which Christ was crucified and
other equally pious relics. Each
casket which is of deeply chiseled,
solid silver, is a rare antique of
enormous value, dating from the sec
ond and third centuries.
The rope has been approached
with view to having them placed
where they could be easily viewed
by the public.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-A broader
use of the special delivery service Is
being urged upon the postoffice de-
partment. One correspondent, ad
vocating an extension of the service,
expresses the conviction that q sys-
TEN similar to that in operation in
France woulc not only greatly ac-
celerate the business in the country,
but would add a large sum to the
revenue of the government. Under
the French system the cost of deliv-
cry is required to be prepaid by post
age stamps, and letters or parcels
must bear on the cover, distinct
ly written the words per express.
A paragraph embodied in the an
nual report of the fourth assistant
postmaster general recommended
the enactment of an authorization
that would enable patron to use or
dinary postage stamps of value
equivalent to the special stamps re-
quired for special delivery service.
and that, in order to insure prompt
Identification of special delivery let
ters where ordinary postage stamps
are used, patrons be required to afilx
the words special delivery" imme-
diately under said ordinary postage
stamps, and also that additional fees
for special delivery service be fixed
for each mile in excess of limit os
ten miles at 10 cents over and above
the required postage.

ia RURAL ROUTES
IN OPERATION IN FIRST DIS
TRICT OF KENTUCKY.
An Important Change is to BE Made
I'm This Division Of the Service
Very Soon.

According TO bulletin of the post
Office department, Kentucky now has
62O rural routes. distributed by Con-
gressional districts as follows: First,
ia; Second, 105; Third, 6S; Fourth
II: Fifth. 23; Sixth, 81; Seventh,
GS; Eighth. As; Ninth. SO; Tenth,
12; Eleventh. 4.
During the fiscal year which end
cd June 80, 1905. there was paid out
in salaries to rural carriers in Ken
lucky the sum of $321.4S2.99. The
average salary paid to rural carriers
was s5S.35 month. The average
number of pieces handled per month
by each carrier was 2,7S5, and the
average collections per route per
month were $7.44. The average
collections are exceptionally low as
compared with a majority Of other
states.
A Washington dispatch Of yester-
day says:
1.-The rural free delivery division
composed of Kentucky, Indiana and
Ohio will be abolished on July I; and
the rural route agents will be con-
verted into postofiice inspectors. AZ
ter that time the rural delivery will
be entirely under the charge Of post
Office inspection service. The move
is in the direction of economy. Ru-
raj free delivery development in
Kentucky will not be retarded by the
change"

This Has Practically Been De.
cided on by Government.
The Sections Will Average About
Two Miles Each-Many Con-
tractors
WILL FACILITATE THE WORK

Washington. Jan. 1S.-The Pan
anna canal will be dug by contract.
This important policy has been de-
cided upon by the canal commission,
with the approval OF the president.
and formal announcement of the
fact will probably be made within a
few days. The work will be done
under the supervision of the engi-
neers Of the commission.
The question as to whether the
commission had authority under the
law to let this work to private con-
tractors was recently submitted to
Attorney General Moody for opinion.
He has responded that the law leaves
the method OF construction entirely
to the discretion of the president
and commission. This decided the
matter and plans are now being for
mulated by the commission to sub
divide the work into sections upon
which bids may be asked.
Each section VIII be OF an average
length OF two miles, which will en-
able twenty-five or thirty contract
ors TO take part in the work. The
contractor will be allowed to pur-
chase the big steam shovels now on
the isthmus by making partial pay
ments extending over the period of
their contracts.
BY letting the work out on con-
tract II is expected that the govern
ment will be relieved of many en-
barrassments. especially in connec-
tion with the employment of labor,
and that the work can be accom-
pllshed earlier than otherwise.

at Is remarkable how the children
dread the word examination" Supt.
Leib stated this morning. when
you say you are going TO have an
examination. they draw back in fear.
II you say tests. they enter into the
work more readily and with greater
interest. The tests we give count
two-ffths for the pupil and the work
of the half term counts the other
three-flfths. This is the way we
make out the averages and It is by
far the best. The second term is
conducted on the same principal and
there has been better work in the
schools since the regular examina-
tlons have been dispensed with"
With the ending of the first term
there will be a big addition to the
High School. At least forty pupils
will come out of the eighth grade
into the ninth and this will swell the
total membership in the High School
department to 175, the biggest High
School in the history of the local
schools.
