CENT A YEAR FOR CARRY

Star Route Official at GaIena Loses

Are Changed.

Galena, III, Oct after carry
ing mail over an Smile route since
1881 for the princely salary of ! cent
a year the carrier has lost his job.
1t was not from any neglect of duty
that this emplOye of the government
was ruthIessly severed from the pay
roll. Neither is there any evidence
that he was unwilling to continue
longer the duties of his position. for
ne worked as long as his penny a
year. was Forthcoming.
The pOstofiice department has de-
cided to discontinue star route No
80, 125 between Dodgeville and Min
eral Point. This line of eight miles
was a remnant of the old route es
tablished between Milwaukee and Ga
lena in 1895. 1t was reduced to eight
miles in 1881.
The carrier has been offered as
high as $40 for his government or
der paving him his yearly stipend,
but has thus far resisted the souv-
eEir hunters.

DEMANDS CHANGE OF RULE
Upton Plans Trip to America and
May Challenge for Cup.

New York, Oct. Sir Thomas
Upton will sail from England for
New York in one week for tour
of this country and while here will
issue q challenge to the New York
Yacht club to race for the America
cup. according to an interview given
out by Joseph Garretson of Cincin-
natl.
Sir Thomas. however. insists that
he will never race for the cup until
the changes asked by him are made
in the rules of contest. He refuses
to again attempt to cross the ocean
in racing yacht or to ask anyone
to do so for him. because of the dan
ger attendant upon such trip as
shown by former experiences. In
case the New York club refuses tC
make the changes asked. Sir Thomas
says his only recourse is to leave
sum in his will for the erection of
vessel to compete for the cup at any
time the New York club sees fit t.
put the race upon what he calls al
equal basis.
According to Mr.. Garretson. King
Edward has taken an interest in the
matter and is now willing 10 lend his
sanction to the competition provid
ing the revisions are made. and the
aristocratic circles of the English cap
ital would like to have such a con-
test take place.
