I0caI#E dit0rs Troubles.

The man who handles the local de
partnent of newspaper learns after
due experience not to expect Ner}
many thanks for a column OF pleasing
things, but he knows as surely as come
the seasons that single line in which
there are mintentional mistakes will
cause some one to be heard; also that
when he has made pleasant mention
900 times OF some person, place or
| thing, but on the one thousandth time
fails to do SO, he must not expect TO be
forgiven. The omissions may have
been from accident, inadvertlnce OF
even an entire lack of knowledge it
matters not. The simple fact remains
that he will be judged ON that. He
may say good things about some busl-
ness man for weeks, but let him make
some mistake and the good things are
forgotten and that mans business Is
denied him. Allentown Item.

All Are Old Offenders.

Postmaster James d. MacKay of
this city Saturday night, received
word from the New York police that
the four men suspected of breaking
the safe at the post Office here had
been arrested there and awaited to be
removed to Trenton.
The Lambertville post office was
broken into about 3 A. NJ, December
4, and tie four men, after pistol
duel which aroused neighbors, escaped
on handcar up the Pennington road.
They were traced as far as New Bruins
wick, where they separated. The
United States authorities immediate
ly took up the case, working with
Postmaster Mackay and Detective
Morse of this city.
Photographs from the New York
rogue's gallery were shown to Ed
ward Alien, of Pennington, and to
the conductor of the Central train on
which the men escaped after aban
doninS the handcar, aud three of
them we're identified. These men
are all experienced safe crackers and
were Immediately Swallowed. No di-
rect evidence of their guilt was OBJ
taluahle and no arrests were made, Ill
the hope that the fourth man, the
leader, might be apprehended. Thurs
day the four met aud the officers at
once arrested them. The last sus-
peet is also an old offender, The men
will probably be tried at Trenton this
month.

New Post Card RulinQ.

There went into effect January LIST q
new postal rule which will be of much
interest to all people who have fallen
into the souvenir postcard fad.
After that date a message eau be
written on one-half the face of card
and it will be carried through the
mails for one-cent stamp.
Heretofore the postal cards called
for nothing on the face of the card
but the address. If anything else APP
peared two cents postage was required.
The recent acknowledgements at
Rome decided that cards with a mes
sage on half the face would be ex-
changed in the mails from one coun-
try to another, and following this ac-
ton the United States postal authori-
ties have decided to allow writing on
cards for one cent.
