Gunner NOR and Tommy Burns.
The present day champions. in the
heavyweight division, have arranged
the last details for their fight. which
is to be hell tesorc the National
Sporting club OF London. The only
hitch i'm the arrang ments was over
the gloves TO be use L. and Moir con-
sen'ct to have a pair made similar
70 hose used by Burns. Reports
rom across the pond state that the
Brit hers really believe that Burns
Is scheduled TO lose his laurel wreath
TO the Gunner basing their opin-
ION ON Moir's defeat Of Jack Palmer.
What Burns could do TO Palmer in
ne course of two or three rounds
would probably lea1 to a charge or
murder, and Burns, at that. is not
4 wonder. If the dope is to be de-
pended upon, Moir will not last five
rounds with Burns,
The stakes for this international
contest will be $4,000 a side. and
the club is Offering $4,000 addition
al. This isn't 50 much, according TO
American standards, but the British
rs consider it something extraorii-
nary y know. That a Yankee heavy
weight champion should consider il
worth his while to travel 10 England
Tor such a purse is somewhat amaz-
'ng' but not so much so when It is
remembered that it enables Burns
to escape the unwelcome attention
Of Lii Arthur" Johnson.
If the press reports are to be be-
Iieyed, all sporting England is 'agag'
over the impending battle, and it is

had purchased a device for the oiling
of its streets and that the success Of
the experiment was most gratifying
to the citizens of that place
Mr. Merrill stated that the Good
Roads Improvement company of Gin

oiling the streets of this city If the
property owners desired to try this
method. Mr.. Merrill stated that he
had recently written to see if a still
lower rate could be obtained.

Frey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches a flying bird for Its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon. though usually going no
higher than blackbird. II it does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet it must have conditions OF chase OF
its own choosing. That 10 why the
small birds usually mob 1t with impu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewilier it. Once, however, j saw
a sparrow hawk that had been molest-
ed fer some minutes by perfect cloud
of green finciles dart among them and
secure a victim. One day had one of
these birds pointed out as the one
which few days earlier had come
close to the house toward dusk and
caught a bat on the wing. That, how
ever, is a very unusual meal.-London

CARRIERS DECIDE
WINDOW DELIVERY
Optional With Them Whether
1t Shall Be Made on
Sundays Hereafter.
SITUATION UNUSUAL ONE.
DELIVERY OF THE MAIL is AN
ADVANTAGE BOTH TO THE PA
IRON AND TO THE CARRIER AS
WELL,

According to a new ruling by the
fourth assistant postmaster general
it rests with the carriers whether OF
not Richmond people shall receive
their mail at the carriers window as
has been the custom before on days on
which no deliveries were made on the
routes.
According to the new ruling. mail
must be delivered there and if this is
not satisfactory to you. you have two
ways TO get your mail besides One
Is to receive it at the general delivery
window and the other is to rent box
The following notice has been sent out
70 postmasters:
You are informed that the clerks
cannot be required TO search carriers
cases for mail addressed to delivery by
carrier Patrons of city delivering
office have the privilege of receiving
their mail in either or three ways. as
they elect. BY carrier. through gen
eral delivery or in rented box. They
cannot receive part in one way and the
remainder in another unless it is spe-
officially addressed for such delivery.
Likely to Be Continued.
IT is probable, however that carriers
of this city will continue TO deliver
mail 10 its patrons at the carriers
window TO business men and others
who want to get their mail before the
carriers come around but it will be OPP
tional with the carrier whether or not
he does this. Mail addressed to ho
tel or boarding house. bearing your
name. but having the number of the
Ell to be stopping. or addressed in care
OF such number or proprietor must be
delivered to the place addressed.
Should the carrier deliver it to you on
the street or at the office he would |
be disobeying the rules OF the depart
ment, and in case of complaint being |
made, would be in for reprimand.
Based on a Technicalty.
According to the opinion of Post
master Spekenhier, the Sunday deliv-
cry means much to both the carriers
and manufacturers. as many of the lat
ter secure all their important letters
on Sundays. while by serving one hour
at the carriers windows on Sunday
the postmen are then not
Dverburdened with mail on Monday
where otherwise this would
be the case The whole question is
based on a technical point and it is
very probable that no procedure. such
rs the discontinuanee OF the Sunday
office delivery will result.

Improvement.


No longer is 1t quite the thing
For senator's to steal
Nor for the congressman to mi1
In every shady deal.
A statesman must, to win applause.
Be honest more or less
And try TO live within his pay
That's going some. I guess.
The men who hammer out the laws
Pay money when they ride;
No longer are their pocketbooks
With passes bulging wide;
They do not move their household goods
On franks by through express
Or charge it to the governments
That's going some. / guess.
It's safe to leave a red hot stove
Unclaimed when they are near:
They will not lift a chunk OF ice-
Not at this time of year.
A blind man need not hesitate
To nlingle and make free
With them although his money may
Be tucked where all can see.
It seems so different from the days
OF not SO long ago
When every statesman had his hand
Extended for the dough,
When they could catch the grafter's eye
And understand his wink.
1t seems too good most to be true.
And is it do you think?

WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT.
HAN SHOWS THE SAME OLD
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE Ex-
ISTED FOR so LONG,

! At council meeting Monday evening
Councilman McMahan of the Seventh
! ward. asked for information concern
ing the West Second street crossing
He said that he had not heard of it TO,
some months. but that he and the res
idents of West Richmond could not af
ford to lose trace OF a matter they had
been fighting for several years.
President Merrill stated that week
before last he saw Supt. Neff of the
Richmond division and asked him
what progress the railroad engineers
We're making with the plans and speci-
fications of the West Second street vi
aducts. Mr.. Merrill said that at that
time Mr.. Neff had promised to have
the plans ready to submit to the city
time came. Mr.. Merrill said the plans
did not show up.
Flood Has Interfered.
Mr.. Merrill stated that last Wednes-
day he saw Mr. Scott engineer of
Maintenance of way of the Richmond
division. and Mr.. Scott stated that his
engineers had not been able to COM
plete the plans at the time fixed by
Supt. Neff. owing to the fact that their
entire time was occupied with mat
ters growing out of the floods which
had damaged the road in many places.
Mr.. Merrill stated that Mr.. Scott as
sured him these plans would be ready
TO submit to the city the first part of
his week
Agreement Not Signed.
Mr.. Study stated that the city had
lot yet signed the West Second street
crossing agreement because it was not

1ense for this work would amount to

ID that if the city entered into the |
lgreement before these plans were |
completed there would be no way of /

mated cost ran into fancy figures. Mr.. I
