Aerial Mail Box.

In Delaware, Ohio, an Ingenious citi.
Gen by the name of Taggart lives on q
high hill some little distance Off the
main road. The hill is Of loose gravel
and at its foot Is a small creek, limo
cent looking and easily forced In
ordinary weather, but swelling rapidly
with heavy rains. The rural carrier,
whose route extended to Mr.. Taggart's
residence, found the frequent high wa
ter and the rough, billy road such a
source of delay and Inconvenience that
the Department ordered the route
changed and Mr.. Taggart was directed
to place his box on the main road. Mr..
Taggart protested, declaring that he
would not walk that distance. Then
bis Inventive brain conceived the troll
ley or aerial mail box. At convenient
corner of his porch he placed wind
lass, with small steel cable extending
down to the box-post on the main road,
around deeply-groovsd wheel on the
post and back to the porch. As
shown, the box Is connected In this
cable, forming the link for the broken
ends. The box Is fitted with top
wheels, which run on q fixed cable,
stretched tight from the porch to the
post.
When the mail carrier reaches the
box-post (Which is visible from the
porch, he puts in the mail and raises
q signal. Some one at the house takes
the handle Of the windlass and turns
1t rapidly, and the box, with its burden
OF mail, comes sailing up the w,.re.
The mil Is then removed and the box

CHARACTER OF AARON BURR.

Defender OF His Fame Was WiIIins
but Didn't Know Tricks of Oratory.
The first secret society with which
was ever affiliated was called the
Omega" which was twothirds liter
airy and one-third social, said an old
college man, who has since won dis
tinction as national orator and cam.
paign speaker. In our rival society,
the alpha Rho" this order of things
was reversed and we prided ourselves
greatly On the fact that our "feast Of
reason" outranked the "fow Of soul"
Ours was a good deal of debating
society, and though early gained
some reputation as a speaker, I was
either too bashful or too ignorant to
take part in any of the debates.
One of my intimate chums was
named Grant, who excelled in that
line and although much younger than
the average member, never hesitated
to cross swords with the older ones
and was not infrequently the victor.
He was very anxious that should
learn to debate, and frequently urged
me to at least make a commencement,
arguing that after I had gotten over
my embarrassment, would enjoy the
fun and excitement.
The subject of debate one evening
was to be. "Was the influence Of
Aaron Burr, upon the time in which
he lived, good or bad?" Grant knew
that ! was quite an admirer of Burr.
had read quite extensively about him,
both in history and fiction, and said
to me that this would be an excellent
opportunity for me to make my de.
but.
Grant himself was to answer one Of
the oldest and best debaters and
could answer the one who followed |
him. He coached me very thoroughly,
told me to listen carefully to what the |
opponents urged against Burr. to cite |
my proofs, showing he was neither q
drunkard nor libertine, as they would |
assert, and then show what q debt |
Washington and the country owed
him for his military skill and ability
during the Revolution. He said I |

and act just as If were simply argu-
Ing with one or two OF my school
mates.
During the day I thought much Of
the important part l was to play in the
coming drama, and there seemed to me
40 reason why I should not score a
complete success. But as the hour of
he meeting drew nearer the success
seemed to grow more problematical
Ind by the time the debate opened, my
thoughts were completely topsy-turvy
md l could hardly remember whether
Burr was an Italian or a Chinaman.
The man who opened the debate
bowed plainly that my hero was ev-
rything that was vile and wicked and :

Speakers Who Have Been Returned

Years. =H.-a.
The return Of General ]. Warren
Kiefer to Congress after an absence
Of % years is of more than passing
interest for the reason that he was
Speaker Of the House which was or.
ganized in 1881. 1t was a famous
Congress and Kiefers pathway was
not one of roses. He became invol-
we'd in q controversy with FL. v.
Boynton, then dean of the Washing
ton correspondents, and the bitter at
lacks of Boynton had much to do
with Kiefers retirement from public
life although he was but 4S when he
finished his fourth term in the House.
Since then he has not been idle but
has been prominent in civil and mill
tary life. He returns to Congress as
did Nathaniel P. Banks and Galusha

was notable. Each, like Keifer, live,
Ior years without prominence in poll
tics but both were older when the.
came back. General Kiefer Is nov
68 but remarkably hale and hearty
He was always conspicuous maj
and is the more SO now because of hi
white hair and beard which were
tawny brown in the days of his
gpeakership. He clings to the garb oil
the old time statesman and wears al
all times an old fashioned swallow
tailed coat cut much like the dress
coats Of to-day. General Kiefei
served four terms In Congress, com.
ing to Washington first for the special
session Of 1877. He was chosen
Speaker of the 47th Congress, Dec.
9th, 1881, serving but the one term.
Last year he was nominated for
Congress and had no very hard time
In getting the honor. The district is
strongly republican and his majority
was the largest ever given any candi-
date.

brevet major-general and as a briga-

Of the wilderness in 1864 he was
severely wounded but would not give
up. He stayed at it until Lee sur
rendered. A born soldier he could
not resist the call to arms when the
war with Spain came on, and was
made major-general of volunteers.
He commanded brigade under Sher-

up to Appomattox. At the battle Of

and Is being advocated by Senator
Dryden, Of New Jersey, president oil
cne Of the big life insurance companies
as we'll as by other financial magnates
who. like Senator Dryden, are directly
interested in insurance and are pre-
sumed, therefore, to know better than
anybody else what the exigencies OF
the situation demand.
Senator Dryden, who studied law in
Yale, but who has not practiced much
in the courts, is Of the opinion that
there is nothing in the Constitution,
either expressed or implied, which Con-
gress should regard as an inhibition in
this matter. But other members of the
Senate who have practiced law for
years declare that in this the New Jer-
sey statesman is in error. 1t is as
sumed that, generally speaking, the
picked lawyers of both branches of
Congress compose the Committee OIL
Judiciary in each house, and it can be
positively stated that as the case now
stands the majority Of the members of
both committees are opposed to- the
general proposition.
1t is, OF course, possible that bill
may be framed bringing the subject
within the united powers of the Con-
stitution, but none of the measures
thus far presented meets the objections
of most of the experts in Congress who
have been consulted on the matter.
There Is a considerable element in the
House insisting that the great Chief
Justice Marshall blazed the way for
Just such an emergency as this in his
famous decision defining in effect inter-
state commerce as Intercourse between
States, to say nothing CT the applica-
bility to this case Of another alien.
bractng decision Of his concerning tne
implied powers o. the Constitution.
Not Satisfactory to Lawyers.
But broad as these doctrines are
they obviously are not satisfactory to
The majority Of the lawyers who are
members Of the two committees on the
judiciary.
AS usual, the Senate has gone more
directly at the subject than has the
House. At the opening Of the session
senator Culberson, Of Texas, introduced
resolution calling upon Congress toll
investigate the matter thoroughly,
With the view Of determining the dis.
,uted point as to the authority Of the
awmaking body to deal with the sub
ect as recommended by President
Roosevelt. This resolution was re-
erred to the Judiciary Committee.
Two or three days before Con.
,ress adjourned for the holiday re-
ess the Senate committee briefly con-
idered the proposition presented by
ar. Culberson, and referred his resolu-
ion to subcommittee with instruc-
ions to report in extenso as soon as !!
Practicable after the holiday recess.
The members Of this subcommittee, !
lessrs. Clark, Spooner, Knox, Bacon, !.
nd Culberson, are Of opinion that
here Is no warrant in the Constitution
Or Congress to assert over insurance /
he power which the President, Senator +
'ryden, and apparently all Of the in. v
lrance magnates appear to think is t
lherent in the legislative department. a

ure embodying their exact views will
be submitted within the next few
weeks. 1t Is known that so anxious are
the insurance people for some form of
legislation taking away from the
States the supervision of insurance
companies that they are prepared to
spend unlimited money in the work Of
education, but thus far they have not
been able to make much Roadway.
Like all campaigns of education to
which Washington has become accus-
toned, it is expected that the usual
amount Of speculation as to the out
come will be INDUCED, but this will
not effect the judgment or the conduct
of those members Of Congress who have
the final decision of the question
through their influence with the Judici-
airy Committees.

Legislative experts at Washington do
not look for the passage Of an insur-
ance law during this session of Con
gress. Statesmen of all sorts and con-
ditions will talk much about it. There
Will be a great deal of discussion on
the floors Of both houses. Senators and
Representatives alike will vie with
each other in denunciation of the meth
DDS OF the insurance magnates as ex-
posed in the legislative investigation
which occurred in New York. Already
divers and sundry lawmakers at both
ends Of the Capitol have submitted re-
marks that have stirred their constit-
uents to increased admiration Of the
eloquence and alertness Of the men
whom they have had the wisdom and
foresight to send to Congress. But in
the end nothing will be done-that is,
nothing except heap Of talk.
No Constitutional Provision.
The reason Of this is that the Judi
ciary Committees, both of the Senate
ana House, thus early have about con-
cluded that the Constitution Of the
United States does not provide for the
kind of legislation which is recon-
mended in the Presidents message,

In the matter is the insistence of near.

Ing an acute issue in State politics. it

least be held in allegiance for some
time yet.
