POSTAL RATES
Agreement Reached With British Government in Regard 10
 Letter Postage.

I Washington, June 3.-Postmaster General Meyer anonunced to-day that I an agreement had been reached with the British government providing for 1 a letter postage of two cents an ounce between the United Staes and Great Britain and Ireland, to become oper- ative October 1, 1908. He stated fur ther that the British postmaster gen. eral, Sydney Buxton, was making a like announcement to the house of commons to-day.
 The matter of penny postage, as it is called in England, has been under consideration for some time, and as far back as last July President Roosevelt approved MT Meyers's S course in urging a restricted union with England"
 On October 1, 1907, the Universal Postal union, which governs the in- ternational postal transactions of the various civilized countries, reduced the rate of letter postage from five cents half ounce fiat, to five cents for the first ounce and three cents for each additional ounce, which is the present rate between the United States and Great Britain, with which we have direct steamship communica- tion, and is also the rate between the United States and countries with which we do not have direct steam ship communication, but on mail to which we have to pay an additional charge to countries through which it pases in transit.
 Under the articles of the univer-. sal union, any two states can form restricted union. Examples of re- stricted unions are those now exist ing which permit a 2-cent an ounce letter rate between the United States and Cuba, the United States and Pan ana, and the United States and Cana da
 Postmaster General Meyer be- lieves that this reduction in the rate of postage to the United kingdom ul- timately will result in an increase in receipts, because 1t has always been found that reduction of the letter rate resulted finally in increasing the revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to freer commercial intercourse. Our manufacturers, he says, are increas- ing their sales in England, and must rely to great extent upon the mails for orders and increase of trade. Further" he stated, this will be a great boon to our adopted and na- tive English speaking citizens. par ticularly those of limited means, as 1t will enable them to keep up corre- spondence with their relatives and friends in the old country at domestic rates"

FIGHTING BOB'S SON
Lieut. Evans, Who Rescued Two JackieS, HurriedIy Released
 By Police.

San Francisco, June.-Lieutenan Frank T. Evans, of the battleship Louisiana, son of Rear-Admiral Fighting Bob" Evans, was making | stunning tour along the Barbary Coast, disreputable part of town, when he reached the "U. S.' dance hall in Pacific street. Looking in, he saw some of his own men and decided to enter, As he passed in the door woman took a $20 gold piece from tile pocket of Seaman William Edmund- son. Edmundson and his mate, John Wallick, protested loudly. A gang Of ruttians rushed for the sailors and Lieutenant Evans got busy Whip ping out his revolver, he cried.
 Stand back. I'll shoot the first man who lays hands on either of those bluejackets."
 The sight of the weapon in the hands of man whose talk sounded like business worked like magic. Barkeepers, waitresses and thugs fled in wild panic, leaving Lieutenant Evans and his jackies masters of the situation.
 At this point two policemen ap- peared. They demanded an explana. tion, but Lieutenant Evans was too angry to talk and the tackles were too well trained in discipline to say a word while their superior officer maintained silence.
 The lieutenant and his men were escorted to jail. There, when the identity of Evans was disclosed, the police lost no time in releasing the entire party.
 II was in civilian dress" explain- ed Lieutenant Evans, "and had been out for trip about town with some friends. When We separated I decid- ed to do little stunning on my own account. In passing the U. S. dance hall l saw some of my boys in trou- ble, and could do nothing else but go to their assistance. Really, that is all there is to it."
 Jackies Edmundson and Wallack say that they would have been rough ly handled had it not been for their little fighting lieutenant, and next to Fighting Bob," his father, they unite in voting him the gamest and best officer in the whole navy.

THE TOMBSTONE CUTTER.
Plying Mallet and Chisel He Philoso-
 nhizes on a Familiar InscriptiOn.

Do you know,' said the tomb stone cutter as he chipped away at the last letter of the last word of the familiar inscription At Rest" :" that he was carving in the granite. do you know that when first began carving these words on tombstones good many years ago. when l. was younger and the world seemed full! of hopefulness, it used to sometimes seem to me as if people had em put on, as you might say, OF general principles, because they seemed n!ce and appropriate there, while really the deceased might not have had such terrible hard time in life, and would much rather be Tot at rest but up and around among folks?
 That's the way these words used to strike me when l Was younger. but now. after considerable experi- ence of life. look at them different ly. Now I realize that :hey may truly mean what they say, and be not merely an appropriate firm; that the one over whose grave they are seen may in truth be glad tU lie there under the stone. at last at rest.
 Because. you see--as we are like ly to discover when we grow older. this life is not a road strewn with roses for all of us; and besides those struggles or in it's simple work we find those-who have been disappoint- ed. or misunderstood, or unappreciat- ed or those who have been broken by some great sorrow. f-
 50, while in many cases, indee |. that At Rest carved on the tomb stone may be but a form, or have been prompted simply by love or affection, and yet, in many cases, placed there most lovingly, it tells a true story. and always. now. from my present point of view. | look at it not lightly, but with 2 sympathetic heart. Many a gentle soul. never stunning. may yet be glad to lay down life's burdens.
 But. happily. as to most of us life adjusts its burdens io oTr aging shoulders and deadens us to mental ills. with increasing years we grow cold. not only in our blood but in our power of apprehension of lifes troubles. or it may be that. blessed still with the possession of all our faculties, we are now endowed with kind philosophy that makes us at once less exacting of others and more considerate. and gives to us full measure of enjoyment. In short, nature may be very kiad to us. keeping us to the very end through years that may seem tO us never declining but ever happy and hope ful.
 As. for all my years, and despite my calling, the world sesms to ne this morning.
