 L. K. U.-When and by whom was the bill introduced in congress es- ablishing rural free delivery? To what party did he belong? When did the bill become law and when did it go into effect, and where was the first route established?

woMAN's UNUSUAL TASK.
Shovels Out a Thirty-ton Car of
 ..s:s Coal.

Southington, Aug If the Unit ed States were accustomed to send women athletes to the Olympic games, Southington would be espe- cially honored as it claims an ex- traordinary woman. An Italian woman shoveled of a load of coal last night at the Southington cut lery, after her husband had proved unequal to the task. It was a 30- ton car and the husband had the job of unloading 1t. As he had not worked in several months he was glad enough to get work. He lasted but short time and soon he was almost overcome.
 His wife was determined that the job would not be lost. Sending him home, she mounted the coal car, took the shovel and soon made 1t very evident that she was capable of the task.
 With her vari-colored garments she attracted a gres< deal of atten- tion and soon a large crowd had congregated to watch her. Un- daunted by this she kept on shovel ing till the last coal was thrown out.
 With shovel on her shoulder, she left the car and started home. ap- parently none the worse for the hard labor.

 New York, Aug l. While lambs have been common in the past in Wall street, the sight of deer hunt in to the brokers who saw the tinancia, district turned topsy turvy by the eA- citement. The deer. buck from th5 Adirondacks. was in a crate in front of the United States Express company in Rector street He came from the game preserve of w. Seward Webb and was on his way to New Jersey friend of the New York Central man.
 Soon after the deer was placed in his crate on the sidewalk a small boy with straw tickled him. It was fun to See him jump. Then all of sudden the deer bucked, kicked, reared and butted all at once and couple of slats in the crate gave way. In a second he was standing in the street
 Like every one else who comes to New York, he wanted to see Wall street and Broadway. With no one to guide him and the crowd giving him an undlsputed right of way. the buck reached the main street of the village. He stood for a moment at the nd ha h,,II and bears. Then he bolted down Broadway
 Policeman . Poor Hunter.
 At one resting place Policeman Rhine grabbed him by the head, but the hold did not last.
 Leaving the policeman yelling foul the buck went on and reached the South ferry and landed on a waiting boat. He went on at one end and into the water from the other. He found 1t easy swimming in the salt water and struck out for Staten Island by way. of the Buttermilk channel
 Swimming the deer decided to drink and gathered in a lot of salt water be- fore he knew it. This was his undo ing. While he was treading water and trying to get the briny liquid out of his system the crew of tugboat lassoed him and brought him ashore.
 Fourteen detectives. squad of po- licemen and express employees re- stored him to his crate. which had been sent after him. Then lower Broadway end Wall street went back to business

TO NEW MEXICO
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
INVITED TO THE TERRITORY.

New Mexico today practically gave up its
efforts to obtain statehood at this session
of the Sixteth Congress, when Gov. Curry,
appearing with former Gov. L., b. Prince
before the House committee on territories.
invited that committee and the corre-
spending committee of the Senate to visit
New Mexico next summer after the ma
tional convention and "see and judge for
themselves whether the territory. which
for fifty years has been seeking admission
to the Union as a state, is entitled to that
benefit and ought to have it,"
Although there was no formal deciara
has abandoned all hope of joining the
stars on the flag before the next session,
it is understood that Gov. Curry's invita-
ton, following the suggestion to him by
Speaker Cannon few days ago that it
would not be wise to press the issue on
the eve of a presidential campaign, signi-
fes a truce for the winter.
1t is positively denied that in considera-
ton of this REIMBURSEMENT the House
committee on territories or its chairman
tMr. Hamilton OF Michigan) has agreed
to report favorably the statehood bill at
the short session: but the delegation liza s
hopes of such action.
The principal speaker before the COM
mittce was former Gov. Prince. He
sketched the efforts of New Mexico
throughout the last half century TO gain
statehood; claimed a present populat tion
last school census. and gave a compa-a-
tive survey of resources.
The committee took no action on Gov
Curry's invitation.
