REUBEN'S MAIL.
m the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
 The cities of the country, big and lit tie, in which there is free mail delivery, represent d proportion of the country's wealth and population which is vastly in excess of those of the rural districts now served by free mail delivery and yet the country will presently be paying nearly s600O,OOO a year more to give this limited portion of the agricultural population It's letters and papers than it pays to deliver ali the city mail in the land the latter being, 1t Is needless to say, greatly In excess, in bulk and value, of the rural mail. These are the appropriations rec commended by the committee on post office and post roads of the house of representatives, and provided for in the pcstofflce appropriation bill reported to the house:
 For letter carriers. rural deliv-
 cry. $2S, 200 000 For letter carriers, city delivery g, ,22S,OO0
 When the government made the first free delivery of mails in the rural district by carrier, it of course gave a pledge for the extension of this service to hte whole country. If the dwellers by the wayside in Podunk. Me, get their one letter week and the weekly paper by the hand Of carrier, who must perforce go over the road every day, there is no reason why the lone ranchman by the margin of Louse Creek Ore, or the festive moonshiner of Hogwallow, Ky, should not have the same privilege.
 Postal receipts increase enormously in this country. For the fiscal year 1905 tley exceeded the expenditures for 1904 by s46446S. But meantime the expendi- ! lures had so augmented, largely on ac- count of this rural free delivery service, that the deicit for the year was s14572.- 0O0. And so it goes.
 Cheaper postage and the extension of the parcel delivery system apparently await the time when Uncle Sam shall have undertaken to serve every one of his children no matter how far up the creek or over the range he may live, with his daily mail-for by the time the country people get thoroughly accus- assume that they will acquire the habit of writing letters and will decide that they must have daily paper instead of weekly. Rural free delivery Is making great changes in the customs of the peo- pie and these changes are all toward assimilation to common standard of culture.

President Orr's Fiubt for ContreI.

President Orr of the New York Life has accumulated S5,000 proxies through his army of agents. He is doing what his colleagues in the other ply order their agents to collect prox- ies, and in that way the policy holder becomes a negligible powerless quanti- ty. The agent grants favor to policy holders, and the policy holder Is ex- pected to hand over proxy on de- mand. And he does it.
 But the New York legislature pro- poses to block the game, Instead of permitting the magnates to re-elect themselves on April II bill is to be pushed through postponing all cleo tions in life insurance companies to November 15. The bill declares all proxies executed before September 15 void, and the November election will be held, not by the magnates, but by the state department of insurance.
 The fight for control has no relation to Judge" Hamilton or newspaper haloes or the Fowler committee, or anything else but the welfare of pol icy holders, and the policy holders in Alabama will serve themselves if they await a fuller knowledge of the situ- ation. The Orr regime is not one that commands public confidence, and a postponement of the election to No vember is needed in order to gain time in which the situation may be considered calmly and more clearly

 There are only three announced candi- dates for legislature from his county. They are, T. S. Dark of Blocton, V. A. Stewart of Scottsville and w. w. Yeager of Centreville. There is some talk of a joint discussion between the several can didates for the legislature. The tax question seems to be the issue paramount in the minds of at least two of the can didates for the legislature.

Senator Bailey on YeIIsw Fever.

Senator Bailey had occasion last week to stop in New Orleans, and while there he discussed with dele gation of New Orleans people the quarantine situation.

ANTI-SEASICk DECK CHAIRS.

From the Paris Herald.
 The Hamburg American Steamship com pany announces the installation of a new chair to prevent sickness.
 The apparatus Is very simple. and con- sists only of a small electric motor, which keeps the seats of specially made chairs In constant motion.
 Passengers who are liable to seasick- ness take their places on the chairs, and experience similar feeling to that of driving in a motor car.
 It Is claimed for the chair that the up and down vbratory movement renders the pitching, heaving and rolling of a vessel less perceptible, as the lengthy downward motions of the ship become neutralized by the rapid succession of vibrations imparted by the chair.
 The results achived with the chairs fitted on board the liner Patricia have exceeded all expectations, and during u recent voyage between Hamburg and New York many passengers could hardly be persuaded to quit their seats for any length of time.
 Many persons who invariably suffered when crossing were able to enjoy the voyage. no disagreeable symptoms mani- festing themselves after the chair had been tried.
 The idea originated with a well known chemist. Dr. Brendel.

Senatorial Entries.

The announcement of ex-Governor Johnston as an aspirant for alternate in the senatorial succession race will be generally regarded in this state as the closing of the list. Besides Gov ernor Johnston there are now before the people, John B. Knox of Calhoun, Richard H. Clarke of Mobile, William c. Oates of Montgomery and Henry five in all, from whom the qualified electors are to select two to fill any vacancies that may occur during the next legislative recess, which lasts nearly four years. The man of the five who receives the most votes on August 27 is to take the first vacancy, and the second best man the second vacancy.
 The choice of two alternates from a list of five aspirants is all the com petition the senatorial race affords, TOT the QemOCIdlS Ol AldDdl1d udAS decided to give her two veteran sen ators a walkover. They have well earned that privilege, and the coun- try at large approves this action. All feel that years of faithful service calls for one uncontested term at our hands, and the call has been met and granted.
 But the five aspirants for alternates will seek votes from this time to the primary day wherever they can be found. They will go on the stump, and they will keep political literature flowing. The warmer the contest the more the electors will be educated, and it is to be hoped that all five of the men who desire to sit in the Sen ate will be able to speak in each of the sixty-seven counties of this state.

WOMEN WHO INFLUENCED
 THE COURSE OF HISTORY

power. The sequel was ghastly and dra- matie. A few weeks later she was at St. Cloud in the flush of high spirits at her success. A glass of iced chicory water was brought at her request, and she drank 1t off quickly. Five minutes later Madame. was no more. All the power of her fascination and beauty were ended by a secret poison.
 As the pages are turned the portrait of lady in a broeaded dress appears, a face with a very deep forehead and expressonless lips. This Is the famous Madame de Pompadour. Her birth was very humble, indeed, but she came in the way of Louis KY, who gave her un- limited influence till she became recog- nized power in Europe. For many years she conducted the foreign policy of France, Interviewing ambassadors and treating with Kings. Rebuffed by Fred erick the Great, this amazing woman made overtures to Maria Theresa of Aus tria to divide his kingdom between them, and, sitting in her summer house, she gayly arranged with a couple of diplo- matlsts the repartition of Europe.
 Moreover, but for the freedom she gave to her personal likes and dislikes, it Is not improbable that she would have ac- complished some of the less wild of her schemes. Her dramatic end has often been told. In the midst of a discussion on af- fairs of state, as she sat rouged and powdered in her chair, the cure who was with her rose to go. She detained him. "One moment, Monsieur le Cure" she said, i've will take our departure to- gether." And few minutes later the beautiful diplomatist was dead.
 The portrait of the anlucky Marie An tolnette, frank, queenly, euperb of whom Burke rapturously wrote: "Glittering like the morning star. full of life and splen- dor, and joy" Is here, too. Recall her life at the Petit Trianon," that fninia- ture palace with the Corinthian pillars, where she wandered about unattended, and no one rose at her approach. It is always grimly pathetic that the one French Queen who a little fulfilled the part that we have been aught to expect from a Queen should have been sacrificed to the mad rage of the revolution.
 Angelica Kaufman was the child of a Tyrolese peasant, who made her way by the force of her artistic gifts as well as her beauty. She was one of the original members of the Royal Academy. Like many a beautiful woman who never be- comes famous she was married secretly to an adventurer. who passed himself off as Count Frederick de Horn. Too late she discovered that he had been a footman to that person and no more. and for some ten years she was black mailed by this adventurer
 beauty of the late Georgian erH was Lady Palmerston, whose portrait was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence. It is scarcely necessary to recall the career of this famous beauty. Too few years have passed for it to have faded from the general memory.
