vicinity Of North Main street were start
led by the sound OF music which they be-
lieved came from a band organ.

source Of the music and saw two Italians,
who were dead drunk playing the organ.
The patrol wagon was sent for and the
two musicians were given a ride to the

Mexican Spiritist Congress.

Mexico City, Mex, March 31.-Un-
der the name of National Spiritist
Congress a notable convention of
spiritualists, occultists, theosophists,
and persons interested in psychic re-
search met here today. This day had
been selected for the opening of the
conference, because it is the annivers
ary Of the death of Allan Kardec,
the famous European spiritualist.
Nearly one thousand delegates, rep
senting mostly groups already prac-
tlclng or investigating spiritualism,
are in attendance. Besides these del
egates of spiritualistic and theoso-
phistic groups there are many indi-
vidual believers and investigators
from all parts of Mexico, Central and
South America, with few from the
United States and several European
countries. There are more than 1885,
600 Spiritualists in Mexico alone.
The object of the Congress is as
follows: Bringing about uniformity
OF experiments; studying doubtful
points in the spiritist philosophy in
order to arrive at common interpre-
tation thereof; the procuring by all
possible means Of propaganda of
this philosophy; bringing about q
solidarity Of the spiritualistic and

psychical research groups scattered
over the country; establishing rela-
tlons with similar centcrs in foreign
countries; creating in this city CEN
tral direction of the spiritist move
ment; forming centers for the scien-
tllic study of spiritualistic phenomena
and marking and eliminating the err
rors which have impeded the prog
ress of spiritualism in Mexico.

THE RURAL ROUTES T.
MAY BE CUT OFF
THAT INFORMATION rs NOW
BEING CONFIRMED. -
The South's Disadvantage-Large
Negro Population Decreases the
Amount Of Mail Handled on
Some Routes.

The Washington correspondent Of
the State writes his paper from
Washington in regard to rural routes
under recent date that it is probable
some Of them may be cut off. 1t be-
hooves the people in the country to
patronize them. In regard to this
matter the States correspondent
says:
Some Of the officials of the post
office department some time ago were
somewhat nettled at the reports pub
lished in this correspondence that
they intended to discontinue rural
free delivery, routes which did not
handle as much as 1000 pieces Of
mail 4 month. They were nettled es-
pecially because in that same letter
[ called attention to the fact that the
operations of this rule would affect
routes principally in the south, where
the number of negroes on the routes
who do not use mails very much
caused the average number of mail
pieces handled on the routes in South
Carolina, according to the figures Of
the department, averaged 2,400 pieces
month. In North Carolina the av-
eragc is only 1000. So stirred up
about this report were the officials
that they issued a special statement
to the papers of North Carolina,
where portions Of the story were cop
led. with view Of modifying the i'm
preston.
Representative Finley, who is
member of the house committee on
postUi1ices and postroads, has just re-
ceived letter from Mr.. DcGraw,
fourth assistant postmaster general,
confirming that report. He gives a
specific instance of the cutting off Of
routes or the disposition to do it.
"You will OBSERVE" says the letter,
after giving the number of mail pieces
handled OH routes in York County,
Fihat the amount of mail handled on
these routes is far below the average
per route, 5000 per month, and below
the minimum which it is thought
route should handle per month, 1000
pieces.
The letter notifies Mr.. Finley that
two more routes in Cherokee county
will be established, completing the
county system Of that county. Mr..
DeGraw says concerning Cherokee
county that the records show that
during the quarter ending December
81, 1905, as compared with that end
ing June 80, 1905, there has been a
material increase in the amount Of
mail handled on the rural routes of
Cherokee, 1t was in view of this i'm
proved condition that the two new
routes were established and the coun-
ty system perfected.
Inspections have been ordered of
the routes in York county and the
number Of pieces Of mail will be
counted. The department states to
Mr.. Finley that the object of this is
to ascertain the cause for the ad-
verse conditions on these routes, and,
if possible, increasing their patron
age.' Pending reports from these
routes the department will hold up
other applications for other routes in
York county.
Moral: The country people of York
and people everywhere on rural free
delivery. routes had best get busy and
take newspapers and write letters to
folks or send out their bills through
the mails.
