all virtues. Great messages, great

of innocent childhood and the radiant
gem Of the old and learned.

MAIL MATTER GOES WRONG
Name Of Indian Territory Post Office
Causes Much Delay and
Trouble.

South McAlester, I. T.-As soon as
the post Office department authorizes
change in the name of the post office
here from South McAlester to McAles-
ter, in conformity with recent act OF
congress merging the two towns, more
than a score Of local corporations will
be required to hold meetings OF their
stockholders and vote on the question
Of dropping the word South" from
the official title Of their institutions.
One OF the local national banks mas
already called a meeting of stockhold-
ers to take this action. Confusion in
mail, freight and express continues, as
the railroads have taken no cognizance
OF the change in the city's name, and
until the postal authorities and rail-
roads recognize the abolishment OF
South McAlester. all matter addressed
to McAlester goes to the old town by
that name, and is then carted back to
South McAlester.

GREAT RIVER DRYING UP.
The Zambesi, in Africa, Reported ia
Be Rapidly Decreasing in
Volume.

Zanzibar, East Africa.-There are
signs that the greatest river in Africa.
the Zambesi. is drying up. Navigation
in that portion Of the river which Is
free from rapids and cataracts is be-
coming increasingly difficult. A num-
Der OF vessels are lying on the mud
at points which ten years ago were be-
low water for eight months OF the
year.
Commerce is greatly hindered, goods
sent by water up-river having occu-
pied three months in travelling the 375
miles to Blantyre. the capital of Brit
ish Central Africa.
AS remedy for this phenomenon.
which is certainly not the result of
drought, 1t is proposed to construct a
railway from the port OF Quilimane to

An Anthracite Agreement.

Scranton, Pa.-Nothing developed
Sunday to disturb the general belief
that strike of the anthracite mine
workers had been averted. There
seems 10 be every assurance that the
sub-scale committee which will go to
New York for conference with the
operators will be assured by the latter
that there will be no discrimination
shown in case the men are ordered
back to work and the term the agree
ment is to last will be readily agreed
upon.
While President Mitchell would pre-
fer an agreement for two years, both
he and the other members of the COM
mittee, it is understood, will bow to
the wishes of the operators and accept
an agreement for three years if the lat
ter SO desire it. l- L. 49, =-s.,
