BY CRUELTY

patch to the Herald from Cape May.

resident of Chocean City, was found
guilty yesterday on six indictments
charging cruelty. Browns six chill

inhuman treatment at his hands. The
charges involved a multiplicity of Of
fenses including Browns beating the
children, making them eat unfit food.
various punishments for their failure
to commit to memory long essays and
compelling them to battle in the ocean
as late as November.
Numerous witnesses testified to hav-
ing seen him beat the children, and
when two of the children went on the
stand and told of the beatings little
more was needed.
Brown, of powerful physique, has
become so thoroughly accustomed to
hardships, that he apparently expected
his children to be able to survive un-
der the same conditions. He virtually
admitted all the charges against him
as to his methods of hardening the
children, but denied that at any time
he had been cruel to them.
For the past Ave years." he said
IT have lived solely to promote the
moral. mental and physical welfare

SAY COUNTRY POsTMA STEERS
ARE TOO LAZY TO REGISTER
Washington Authorities Threaten to
Remove Them for Advising Pub
lie Against the Service

Several postmasters in country dis
tricts and their employees are likely to
be removed for serious breaches of
duty, according to information received
yesterday by Postmaster Fisk. 1t has
come to the knowledge of the depart
ment that the accused persons, in order
to avoid the labor connected with the
registration of mail matter, have in
formed the public that the registered
mails are not a safe means for the
transportation of valuable matter, and
suggested that 1t be sent in some other
way. Section 799 of the postal regu-
lations makes 1t the plain duty of
postmasters and employees to advise the
public to register valuable matter so as
to enable the department to keep it
under special supervision and remove 1t
from the ordinary mails.
The Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral says: Disregard Of this duty, or
any disparagement of the registry serv-
Ice by any one connected with the
postal service, whether by making un-
favorable comparisons with any other
means of transportation or otherwise,
Is serious interference with the poll
ley of the Departments which will be
deemed sufficient ground for removal
from the service"

by the ladies who have seen them to
be the most beautiful shown here at

Paris makers and are not duplicates
of others sold at the Coast. The net

the Texas panhandle into Mexico. A
detail of soldiers from Fort Sill rounded
him up and brought him back. He had

resistance.
He said he had heard of recent trou-
bic with the Apaehes near Ell Paso and
wanted to help his people fight. He
also said his domestic affairs were frk-
some and his eighth wife has left him.
He has been drinking heavily and re-
Gently stole out and remained away all

When the invitation came for him to
attend the celebration near the noun

Indians participated in sham battle

man became highly enthusiastic. Dur
ing the excitement he slipped quietly
away and was not missed for several
hours.

missionary refused to wait for better
accommodations,
AS matter of fact, the original de.
cision to enforce the wearing of frock
coats and silk hats on formal occa-

learn that much. He did not even reg
