.FOR THE IMPROvEM ENT OF POSTAL SERVICE
 IN BISBfE
New Card System to Be Sent to Washington to Assist Bis
 bee Postmaster

The officials of the local post office are working hard on many plans for the betterment of the local mail serv- ice, and with this end in view are de- vising ways and means of handling mail in the shortest possible space of time. Time is one of the biggest fac tors in post office. in fact it Is the most important element next to accu. racy.
 On first sight it would appear that the many different systems of cards in use in the postoffice would be con fusing, but when the matter is looked into it invariably develops that time is saved by their use.
 For some time past MT. Cassidy has been painfully conscious that the To- cal postal service was not all that Bis bee citizens deserved, and for that reason he has been studying different ways and means of overcoming the difficulties. Some time ago he de- vised card which he recommended to the post office department at Wash ington for use in the general delivery, and after mature deliberation the de- partment accepted the form for use throughout the entire postal service He then took up other matters which needed attention, and brought them to the notice of the department, and almost invariably has received what he asked for.
 One of the most troublesome things in the post office, is the piling up of papers and periodicals of every de- scription. This is due to the fact that almost everyone subscribes for some paper or another. and after changing their address never notify the pub fisher. The consequence is that no one calls for the periodical. and it re- mains as so much dead wood ir the post office. At the present time there is a card sent to the publisher saying that the person has change his ad dress. and then this card has to be copied into a book of records. When one stops to think of the number of these cards that have to be sent out. he can get an idea of the amount of time required to write and copy these notices.
 To overcome this difficulty. MT. Gas sidv has devised a form which will come ia blocks of about two hundred. On this form will be printed all of the notice except the name of the publish CT, the addreSSee a--l the aaJS All that it will be necessary to do when it is desired to send a notice to certain publisher will be to fill in his name. the name of the person to whom the periodical is addressed and the date. The trouble Of copying this into a book is done away with by a piece of car bon paper being inserted under the notice before it is written. This makes stub of the block a permanent office record MT. Cassidy intends to rec commend this to the postal department for approval.

 MANY GIFTS ABROAD
incidents of Oil Kings Trip and His Generosity to the Poor
 by the Wayside,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 3.-Dr. H. F. Biggar tonight told additional stories about John D. Rockefeller and his trip abroad. He said:
 ''Mr. Rockefeller was always study ing character. He found the French Interesting, especially the peasantry, a hard-working, frugal, happy people.
 "He gave s5,G00 in small sums to the peasants. Many times, as we were bowling along the country roads in our motor, he would see some peasant wonan, and laying his hand on my kree, would say: Doctor, think I am justified in giving this poor woman a cew francs.
 "The machine would stop. NIT. Rockefeller would drop a coin in the woman's hand, and away We would go. before she could thank her bene. factor. Mir. Rockefeller did not give | to beggars.
 'The upper classes MT. Rockefeller found charming. We were agreed that the French women are not beautiful, but they have a viyacity not found in women here. They know the art of dress. the exact angle of hat to get the most becoming effect, the proper blending of coIors in hats, gowns and gloves.
 But their feet! Oh, dear, their feet distressed us. Their shoes are too large and they do rot it. If they | dressed their feet as we'll as they dressed their heads they would be the most charming women in the world. "MF. Rockefeller and the Mayor of lCompeigne became fast friends. The mayor, Robert Fournier, grandson of General Fournier, of Napoleon's Ora goons, is only ST.. He and MT. RoclIe- feller played golg together. One day the mayor said: Mr. Rockefeller, did | you know one of my marshals came near arresting you yesterday? Yes, the bicycle you were riding had no lanterns and was without name CT shall see that both defects are remedied at once replied MT. Rocke' feIler. Whatever I am, I believe in always obeying the laws
 ''That was characteristic of him. lie is as law-abiding as he is charming. lWhen We were not motoring we were playing golf. We met the nobility who came to the Compeigne Club for tea
 MT. Rockefeller gave the club 1000 francs.
 Racing and archery MT. RocEe1eIier thought fascinating sport. Some of
 the women over there are expert
 archers.
 MT. Rockefeller was greatly inter. tested in the Amerika. He made many IfrieEds among the second-class and lsieeTage passengers and quietly dis lpcnsed small sums to needy persons
 Before leaving the boat at New
 York MT. Rockefeller went to the cap ltain's cabin to thank him for bringing lthe steamer safely across. He gave Ithe captain s100 saying: For the
 wifows and orphans of these poor
 sailors The captain was deeply af lfected. MT. Rockefeller added: If
 over bui,d ship I war. vcu to ruy lit.'"

Girl Commits Suicide.

Miss Carrie Foust, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Calvin Foust, of Milton,
committed suicide Tuesday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. Peter Hagenbuch,
one mile west of West Milton, with
whom she had resided, as companion,
for a number of years.
Miss Foust, was very well known in
Danville having frequently visited rel
atives i'll this city. The grand father
Of the deceased aud the late Philip
Foust, of this city, were brothers
She was also a niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Weidman, East Market street.
Miss Foust had shown traits of mel
ancholia, though not of a pronounced
type. 1t was known TO her friends that
for some time she was engaged to be
married, the wedding being fixed for
early spring.
Monday afternoon Miss Foust, when
she paid her insurance fee to the col
lector, declared that that would be the
last time she would pay insurance.
Later she made other remarks that, in
the light of subsequent events, were
significant, tending to show that she
had in contemplation the taking of her
life.
At O'Clock Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Hagenbuch went to the barn to gather
the eggs. She was gone about twenty
minutes When she returned Miss
Foust was nowhere about, and when
Mrs. Hagenbuch called she received no
reply. Then going to the second floor
of the house she found the young wo
man in her own room unconscious on
the bed. An empty tumbler lay on the
floor, and about it was the unmistak
able odor of carbolic acid A doctor
was sent for, and though the physician
reached the Hagenbuch home in a lit
tie while Miss Foust was beyond hu-
man aid She died at 6 O'Clock. A
vial that had contained the carbolic
acid was found on the ground under a
window of the young woman's bed
room. She had evidently poured the
poison from the bottle into the glass,
then tossed the former out Of the win
dow She left no message.
1t was determined that no inquest
was necessary under the circumstances,
the latter proving without question
the case to be one of self-destruction.
The funeral will be held from the
home of the parents, in Milton, Friday

Truant Officer Has Trouble.

The brow of Truant Officer Young
yesterday bore "A troubled look He
had two children, he said, who had
no shoes and he was puzzled to know
how TO supply them with the needed
foot wear. These were not the officer :
own children, it is true; nevertheless
he was in a measure responsible for
them. They were on the list of alb
sentees and it was his business to get
them back into school. But he was
up against the time worn excuse:
NO shoes "
The officer has heard this excuse so
often that it begins to haunt him in
his dreams. Every month when he
presents his report to the school board
there are always a few pupils absent
from school because they are i'll along
with less number who are actually
truants, but the report always winds
up with a number who are detained at
home for want of suitable clothing
and that means "shoes. "
These of course are the children of
poor and necessitous families. The
latter can't purchase the suitable
clothing and that is all there is
about it. Meanwhile the school law
relating to attendance says that all
children within the proper age limit
must attend school and it doesn't say
anything about "clothing" suitable
or unsuitable.
The truant officer is the man left to
wrestle with the difficult proposition
to get the children back to school
which means to get them clothing 1t
is fortunate for our district that we
have a truant officer as faithful to his
trust as Mr.. Young, otherwise more
children might be out of school.
He has wrestled with the problem
of clothing month in and month out.
Occasionally the poor authorities come
to his relief, but just as often they
conclude that it not right for them
to purchase clothing in such cases and
they refuse assistance. At other times,
when means are available the Benevo-
lent Society comes to his relief. The
present unfortunately is one of those
times when a deaf ear is turned to the
truant officer on all sides and as above
stated he has two children to provide
with shoes. Incidentally two child
ren are out of school, who according
to the school law have no right to be
absent Hence the brow of the truant
officer bears a troubled look
Obviously here is fine opportunity
for persons philanthropically inclined
to accomplish far reaching good with
the expenditure of only little money

Freight Wreck on the Pennsy.

4 wreck which blocked all traffic on
this division of the Pennsylvania rail-
road all night occurred Tuesday after
noon at o'clock opposite Rupert.
AT this point the Pennsylvania and
the P & r. tracks cross each other.
A fast west bound Pennsy freight train
approached the crossing, but as a work
train on the p & R. was also ap-
preaching the bridge and had the
rights of the crossing at the time, the
signalman in the tower set his signal
for the Pennsylvania train to stop, and
also threw open the switch which is
located about 200 feet from the cross
ing for use in just such emergencies.
The Pennsy train was a heavy one,
however, and had gained such mo-
mentum that the engineer could not
bring it TO a stop i'll time to save it
from running through the open switch.
The locomotive tender, and the first
following car went clear through the
switch off the track, and toppled over
on their side. The engineer and fire.
man realized their danger in time to
jump from the cab to safety just as
the engine went over.
Wrecking crews were summoned
from Nescopeck and Sunbury and af-
ter a hard nights work. the division
was opened again to traffic yesterday
morning about O'Clock. No one was
injured by the accident, but confusion
reigned on the entire division as
consequence of the blocking of traffic,
especially at this busy season.
