TESTS AGAINST RATES.
One Pound Of Merchandise Can Be
Sent from Minneapolis to Norway
for 10 Gents, but It Costs 1e Gents to
Send It to Any Point IN America.

Uncle Sam carries mail cheaper for
aliens than for his own citizens.
If Ole Olson of Minneapolis wishes
to send one pound Of American tobacco
to his father in Christiania, Norway,
it. will cost him just IL cents under the
postal convention between the United
States 'and Norway. If John Win
throp, also Of Minneapolis, wishes to
send one pound Of Indian beadwork
and moccasins to his aunt in Boston
to convince her that he is living in
the wild and woolly west" it will
cost him 16 cents under the domestic
postal rates. So far as postal service Is
concerned it is worth 4 cents pound
to live out Of the United States.
This state of affairs has called forth
a vigorous protest from the Postal
Progress league, and James l.. Cowles,

a circular setting forth at length the

suggesting remedies. -

VATICAN INTERESTED
|. 80 IN WORLD POLITICS
Significant Moves Expected, Including
Creation Of American Cardinals.

Significant Moves Expected, Including
Creation ofzAmerican Cardinals.
Journal Special Service.
Rome, Feb. 3.-some Of the really:
significant movements in world politics
may be expected to emanate from the
vatican during the next twelve months.
First, there is the vexed questions Of
the relations Of the church and state
right here in Italy. This is likely to
be forced to the front by the visit Of
the king Of Spain in connection with
his approaching marriage. The king
Of Spain is very anxious to visit his
royal relative, the king Of Italy. Be-
ing an earnest Catholic he does not
desire to do anything which will in
any fashion wound the, feelings Of the
head Of the church. Hence efforts are
being made to find out just how far
the king Of Spain may go in this mat
ter Of establishing more friendly re-
lations with the king Of Italy.
Ever since the downfall of the states
Of the church and the temporal power
Of the pope, while Protestant rulers
have been free to come and 60 at will,
Catholic monarchs as general thing
have been obliged to be rather diplo-
matte, and some kings have been even
preferred to avoid Italy as they would
avoid pestilence-infested country,
fearing that their very presence might
tend to stir up strife. Hence it has
| happened that some Of the real cues.
tions Of clerical and political etiquette
have never been taken up for solution
and it remains to be seen whether they
are capable Of being solved.
Then there are questions of vast i'm
portance growing out Of the extension
of the work Of the church in America
. and other parts Of the world. One rea
son for this extension has been the vast
increase in Italian immigration to the
new world. The vatican, while in nc
way responsible for this shifting Of
/ population from the old world to the
new, in the capacity Of supreme pastor
of souls is bound to take cognizance
of such worldwide movement. It il
said that one Of the results will be tn.
creation in the near future Of severa
new American cardinals. Admirers Of

FIRE At MADISONvILLE.
Last Night Burns Out S. v.
Rudd's Barber Shop.
DR.. DRAKE OWNED THE BUILDING.

A fire occurred at Madison
vile at II 80 last night which
would certainly have grown tC
large proportions but for the fact
that there was no wind.
The losers are S. V. Rudd,
barber, whose shop with all the
contents was destroyed, and DIR,
Drake, who owned the building
and had his Office on the second
floor. Rudd's'loss is about 5000.
DIR. Drake lost all his books and
papers, besides the destruction
of the building, which was old
and not very valuable.
The property is just back of
the Kentucky Bank & Trust Co.,
and Gardiner & Bomer's drug.
store. There was not a breeze
astir and the flames curled lazily
upward without a furry, so that
the fire was easily kept from
spreading on either side. Spiro's
fruit store was next. His store
was flooded, but the stock was
moved out and not greatly dam
aged. Two streams of water
were played on the fire, the
pressure and supply being at its
best, but this would have been
of no seavice if there had been
wind.
This is another object lesson in
favor of adequate water works
for Madisonville.
