she saw the personal allusion to her own

too much principle to suffer the opinion

SECOND CLASS MAIL.
Congress is Asked to Amend the Law
Governing the Rate of
Postage.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1O.-The
report of the third assistant postmaster
general proposes that second class mail
matter be subjected to the following
changes and regulations:
That sample copies be restricted to
10 per cent. of the weight Of the copies
mailed, this privilege to be cumulative
during period of one year.
The department heretofore has not at
tempted to deal with the practice on
the part of some publishers of mailing
for an indefinite period papers to per-
sons whose subscriptions have expired,
and no rules upon that subject have been
promulgated. 1t is now proposed to make
such rules, and, with the approval of
the postmaster general, they will be
somewhat as follows:
Subscriptions for daily newspapers will be
regarded as expired subscriptions after the
expiration of ninety days from the end OF
the term for which they were paid.
Those for semi-monthly, monthly. bi-
monthly and quarterly periodicals Will be
expiration of four months from the end of
the term for which they were paid.
Those for semi monthly, bi-monthly, and
quarterly periodicals will be regarded as
expired subscriptions after the expiration
of four months from the end of the term
for which they were paid.
Expired SuDSCftpIlOhS, as herein uelncu,
will not be counted in the Legitimate list
of subscribers but copies may be mailed
on account thereof at the transient second
class postage rate.
Hereafter, whenever any piece of domes-
tic second-class matter except that upon
which postage shall have been prepaid by
stamps affixed, remains undelivered at a
postoffice for period Of thirty days, the
same shall, under such regulations as the
postmaster general may prescribe, be re.
turned to the publisher thereof charged
with postage at the third-class rate-1 cent
for each two ounces or fraction thereof:
And provided further, that the failure of
any publisher to pay such postage charges
shall be deemed cause warranting the re-
vocation of the publishers privilege to mail
such publication at the second class post
age rates until such postage Indebtedness
to the postoffice department Is liquidated.
Congress is asked to amend the law
governing the rate of postage on second
class matter, so as to restrict the free
county privilege to matter that is not
delivered by city, rural, star route, or
other carrier.
A reduction in the postage rate on
books of the mailable class is proposed.

CHICAGO CLOSING SURE
HEALY TO GIVE NO QUARTER TO
SALOONS ON SUNDAY.
States Attorney Makes Announcement
After Issuing Warrants for
Hotel Proprietors.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Dec. 1O.-State's At
torney John j. Healy, announced last
night that he would enforce the laws SO
as to close every saloon in Chicago on
Sunday.
This announcement came in an adj
dress he delivered at a meeting of the
Mems club of st. Peters Episcopal
church. The speech followed the issue
of Twenty-Five warrants against propri-
etors of leading hotels in Chicago charg-
ing violations of the Sunday closing law.
Mr.. Healy said that the state law is
certain and that he will enforce it with
all his power. The saloon keepers by
their actions, he asserted, have aroused
a revolt among the thinking people of
the city that will result eventually not
only in Sunday observance, but in short
er hours for the saloons and the wiping
out of many disorderly places leagued
with vice and crime.

FEAT OF AN ARMY OFFICER.

Beat O'Leary's Walking Record i'm
the Wilds of Alaska.
The feat of O'Leary in walking I 200
miles in 1000 hours has reminded the
officers Of the Fourth Infantry Of a
feat accomplished by Captain Joseph
G.. Cashier, of that regiment, who beat
OLeary's record by about two miles
per day in the wilds Of Alaska. In
other words, Captain Cashier, who was
then a lieutenant of the Fourth Infan-
try, walked a distance Of 1875 miles
in fifty-two days, an average of TWEEN
ty-six miles per day. The story Of the
hardships undergone by Lieut.. Cashier
during an exploring expedition in the
years 1S9S-99 is one Of thrilling and in
tense interest. On June 6, 1898, he
joined an exploration expedition sent
out by the government to find pass
through the Alaskan Mountain range
Of which Mount Mckinley the highest
peak in America, forms a part. Start
ing from the northwestern part Of
Alaska Lieutenant Cashier and two
privates Of the Fourteenth Infantry
started in q southeasterly direction
across an UNEMPLOYED country finally
arriving at the Yukon River, near the
mouth Of the Tanana River, Oct. II,
1898, having traversed distance Of
nearly 1000 miles.
1t was q ragged and forlorn party
that was taken in charge by band of
Tanana Indians at that point nd feted
on moose meat and other delicaces
Lieutenant Cashier was delirious by
reason of the privationS and hardships
he endured. For six days the party
had lived on nothing but wild cram
berries as even the rose apple, which
had formed a portion of their diet
with what game they could kill, had
become inaccessible on account Of the
deep snow
At an early stage of the journey
Lieutenant Cashier and the two sol
diers had lost their firearms and blan-
kets while floating on a raft down a
stream. A low tree had brushed the
members Of the party and all their eff
fects into the deep river. They were
lucky to save a few matches with
which to start a fire. The shoes of the
officer and soldiers had become worn to
shreds and they found it necessary to
strip themselves of part Of their cloth
ing with which to bandage their feet.
The soes and other parts Of their
feet became a mass of running sores.
The party started out with dogs and
sleds to carry their baggage, but the
dogs persisted for lack of food, short
" after crossing the mountain range.
Once on the Yukon. the two soldiers
decided they had had enough of ex-
ploring, and joined some troops a short
distance away. Captain Cashier, being
Of adventurous disposition, found a
Canadian who would accompany him
up the Yukon, so they started on their
tramp on the ice to the mouth of the
river. 1t was on this journey that a
record of twenty-six miles a day was
made. Upon his arrival at Skagway,
on the western coast, on Feb "a, 1899,
Lieutenant Cashier was informed that
the government was organizing a re-
lief expedition to search for him.

NO MORE BLUE" SUNDAYS.
New York Board of Aldermen Will Prob
ably Modify Amusement Curb.

NEW YORK, Dec 1O.-There is ev-
cry prospect that New York's intensely
blue" Sundays will end with the first
one. The board of aldermen met today
and there was introduced an ordinance
which, insofar as the power of the board
reaches, gives amusement seekers at
least something to do on Sunday. The
state law prevents performances on the
stage but there seems to be no provl-
sons in the statutes or in the city char
ter, which prevents concerts, either vocal
or instrumental. The ordinance allows
concerts, such as those usually given at
the two opera houses. the symphony con-
ccrts given by the Damrosch orchestra
at Carnegie hall, and allows moving pic
ture shows and arcades to run as usual.
Even a modified sort of vaudeville is
