Important Ruling for r. F. D
Carriers.

Merchants and others, take
notice and govern themselves ac.
cordingly-that carriers are not
permitted to deliver packages for
merchants or others, to patrons of
their routes under four pounds
unless accompanied by sufficient
postage to cover same. Patrons
can however request carriers to
bring small articles from the store
for them but under no considera-
tions are they allowed to carry at
request of merchants without
postage. Neither are carriers al
lowed to carry money for deposit in
Bank for patrons or other purposes
except the same be registered or
sealed and sent as ordinary letters.
Carriers are always prepared to
register valuables and receipt for
same, and it is strongly advised
that this should be done in all
cases-the object of this ruling is
to prohibit carriers from being
burdened with matter from which
the Department receives no rev.
enue.

Will Apply For Divorce.

1t is stated that Mrs. Irene
Stanley, nee Clayton, of Calvert,
will shortly apply for a divorce
from her husband, the bogus Lord
Stanley, that prince of liars, who a
few months ago set gossip agog
with his stories of fabulous wealth
and possession of vast estates and
castles (air) in Edinburgh and
various other places, claiming
relationship with King Edward,
etc., etc.
Lady Stanley's dream of a happy
married life surrounded by luxu-
rious appointments and with untold
wealth at hand, was of short dura'
ton, being dissipated in day or
two, when it was proven that the
glib tongued "Lord" was a fraud
of the rankest sort. He occupied
the center of the limelight of pub
licity for few days, when he dis
appeared as suddenly as he came
upon the stage, and has not been
heard of since.
1t is understood the grounds for
the suit will be that the marriage
contract was obtained through
fraud and hence is void

SEE THE BALLooNa
One Passed Over This Section On
Wednesday Morning.

Many persons in this section
were interested in watching large
balloon sail over shortly after seven
o'clock on last Wednesday morn
ing, going in a southeasterly diree
tion and many were the queries
regarding the unusual sight. Al
the nearest point it was probably
two miles south of Rising Sun. In
passing over Holiday Fl. Kinks
farm near Gathers Corner, it was
close enough to the earth for the
occupants, two gentlemen, to con-
verse with Mr.. Kirk and they asked
where they were, the time and
several other questions. Their
replies to Mr.. Kinks questions
were drowned by the noise of chick
ems on the place which raised a
mighty cackle at the sight of the
strange bird passing over them.
At England's creamery and Zion,
the balloon was again close enough
for the occupants to ask questions
regarding their whereabouts. At
the latter place they were invited
to descend and partake of Mary
land hospitality in the form of
buckwheat cakes and sausage, but
politely declined. While the
big sphere was sailing gracefully
along and only a few hundred feet
above the ground near Pleasant
Hill, the occupants hailed Alfred
B. McVey and threw down a tele-
gram for him to forward to st.
Louis, but it fell in the woods and
was lost. They told Mr.. McVey it
was balloon No. 4, the "Dussel-
dorf," of Germany. This balloon
was later reported as having land
ed near Dover, Del, at 9:05 that
morning.
This balloon was one of nine
which started from st. Louis on
Monday in the second international
aeronautic contest for the James
Gordon Bennett cup. The winner
in the contest was the German
balloon "Pommern," which came
to the earth at Asbury Park after
travelling the greatest distance, $50
miles.
Another balloon which may have
been seen by some in this section
was the L'Isle de France, which
landed at Hubertville, near Asbury
Park, N. j., shortly after one
o'clock that afternoon.
