NOW IN EFFECT.
\
Mail for British Isles Floods
- Gent Re-
duction Attractive.

The two-cent postage rate between
the United States n the British EN-
pire went into effect this morning at
1901 o'clock, and the postoffices
throughout the country were damned
with Europeon mail today. Some peo-
pie were compelled to renew he'll Brit
ish correspondence on account of the
bargain in stamps: others were at
tracted by the novelty.
TITS postal reform is a result of years
of agitation. John Wanamaker, when
postmaster-general eighteen years ago,
was untiring in his advocacy of 1t, here
and abroad, and it was finally arranged
last May through Postmaster-General
Meyer and the British authorities to
take effect today.
Following is from an official notice
in the postof1ice:.
THE postage rate applicable to let
tiers mailed in the United States, adj
dressed for delivery at any place In the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, shall be two (2) cents an ounce
or fraction of an ounce. b,
Letters unpaid or short-paid shall
be dispatched to destination, but double
the deficient postage, calculated at said
rate, shall De collectible of the adj
dresses upon the delivery of the unpaid
or short-paid letters" q

04.10, the Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank, of Chicago, received the $6Sl. 900
issue of Essex county bonds from the
finance committee Of the Board of Free
holders at a late session yesterday.
The bid was considered the best among
the six others that were offered, some
only Tor parts of the issue. and, COM
pared with last years figures on an
$500, 900 issue, which was obtained by
the Prudential Insurance Company,
was slightly lower, the P~rudentials
premium having been 101.7 70.
Julius S. Rippel, a local financier,
made a protest against the award to
the Chicago people before 1t was made,
on the ground that the bid was CON
ditional in that 1t called for approval
by the banks counsel, and that the
guarantee check was not certified, but
was a cashiers check.
County Counsel Crane, however, told
the committee that the Chicago bic was
good in every respect. MI. Rippel's bid
was 100. 65.

WHIMS IN WILLS.
Curious Desires Have Aetuated Many
 Testators

Curious Desires Have Aetuated Man, Testators.
 The dryness of the law is sometime. alleviated by the freaks and whim: that appear in wills.
 Some persons have used their wills as means of paying of old scores. h ITO Stephan Swain of the parish of St. Olaves, London, left John Abbott and Mary, his wife, shillings each for halter for fear the sheriff should not be provided" In 1T93 Philip Thickness willed that his right hand be cut of and sent to his son fin hopes that such sight may remind him of his duty to God after having so long neglected the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him.
 Lieutenant Colonel Nash got even with his wife by leaving the bell ring CTS of Bath abbey f50 year on condi- tion that they muffie the bells of said abbey on the anniversary of his mar riage and ring them with "doleful &C., centuation from a. m. to p. m" and on the anniversary of his death to ring merry peal for the same space ''in memory of his happy release from domestic tyranny and wretchedness."
 Jasper Mayne, who died in 1920, must have been a person of humor. He left his servant an old valise, stat ing that it contained something that would enable him to drink. When the valise was opened it was found to con- tain only red herring
 Occasionally a testator exhibits an original idea as to the disposition ot his body. Sieur Benoit. whose will was probated in Paris in 1877. ordered that he be buried in his old trunk to save the expense of q coffin. He added that he was attached to the trunk. it having gone around the world with him three times.-New York Post

eat or rest properly, and felt no desire
TO live.
''Three bottles of Peruna made me

gan to regain my LOST STRENGTH.
While my recovery took nearly four
months, at the end of that time | was

II certainly think Peruna is without
a rival as TONIC AND STRENGTH
BUILDER, and it has my endorse
ment."
This lady entirely recovered from a
nervous breakdown. She did not go
away to a sanitarium, and spend hum
dreds of dollars for a cure. She just
stayed at home, took Peruna and in four
months weighed more than ever in her
life, had splendid color, life looked
bright to her. Peruna did all this for
her. What more could be expected of

Loss KeenIy Felt.

San Francisco. July News of the
death of Admiral Thomas at Del Monte
was flashed 20 the flagship Connecticut
ar late hour last night, by wireless,
and was communicated immediately to
the men on the other battleships in The
harbor by the use of signal lights. Ad-
miral Sperry received the news of the
death of his predecessor with much
emotion, and when asked to give an ex-
preston said that it was TOO sad an
event for him to discuss at this time.
I'VE were boys together, and we have
been intimately associated during all
the years since. and the news of his
passing away Is a sore shock TO me.
He was one of the grandest men / have
ever met. He was a credit to the navy,
and stood as an example to the men
under him. Words cannot express the
feelings / have at his untimely end"
On board the battleship Minnesota, on
which Admiral Thomas came from the
Atlantic coast to san Francisco in COM
mand of the third division OF the fleet,
his death seemed to be more deeply
felt than on any OF the other vessels,
where he was not so intimately known.

You have a primary law in your
state under which the voters have
right 20 select the delegates to the ma

my nomination organized for the pur-
pose of presenting that issue to the
voters in every district put up their
candidates, and these candidates either
openly avow themselves or Ii was writ
ten upon the ticket that was presented
TO the voter at the polls, and as re-
suit of that primary large majority
of the voters in the Democratic party
in the state of Pennsylvania expressed
their desire that should be nominated,
and recorded themselves in favor Of the
delegates with promises 10 go there and
favor my nomination.
1T is not for me to say whether those
Democrats were wise or foolish, but If
] understand what Democracy means
those men are the ones to determine
what Pennsylvania shall say on that
subject, and When pOutlcdl DOSS,
whether he calls himself a Democrat
or a Republican. assumes to defy the
expressed will of his party, he shall
never be in the party organization ex-
cent over my protest. Great applause.)
And as 1 have tried TO be honest In
politics, I have notified Mr.. Guffy that
whenever my opinion has been asked l
have stated that would regard his Sc
lection as unfortunate and his mem
bership upon the committee as an en-
barrassment.
