Quicker Mail
Facilities Promised

Ever since the San Francisco morning
papers have been received in Jackson by
one O. clock, there has been an effort
made to get the letter and mail matter
through by the same early route. The
papers that reach here at that early
period do not come by the regular mail,
indeed they are not handled by the
post office department at all, but are
sent through by special arrangements
made between publishers and transpor-
tation companies. But there is no
reason why the letter and other regular
mail should not be accorded the same
rapid transportation; indeed, it is the
rule of the post Office that any change
involving quicker mail delivery shall be
available for mail matter Postmaster
Duden, when in San Francisco recently,
took this subject up wit h the post
Office authorities there, contending the
the regular mail was entitled to the
same routing as the newspapers that
now reach mere at least four hours
ahead OF the mail stage. The officials
in the city recognized the correctness of
this position, and the whole question
will be referred to Washington. There
is no doubt, the outcome will be I at
mail matter will reach Jackson at re
same time as the San Francisco papsrs
do by special arrangements.

The twists and turns taken by fax

bad bargains are proverbial. A little
incident illustrative Of the tribe took
place recently at stable on North
Broad street, where an irresponsible
settler had succeeded in palming off a
defective horse on a too easy buyer.
The new owner turned up with the
horse a few days after the purchase
and angrlly exclaimed, Didn't you
say this horse was perfectly safe and
wouldn't trouble anybodyT The deal

When the late Baron NoHdenskjold

whether he would accept from tbs

sterne Bjornson's Anti-decoration club,
whose members were solemnly pledged
never to accept any decoration from
anybody. Nordenskjold, however, could
not resist the temptation, so he replied
to the telegram In the Affirmative. 1t
is not hard to imagine his disappolnt-

friend Of his, high official, told him
the following: THE Russian govern

Kald Bolton told the following story,
which illustrates exactly the attitude
Of the sultan Of Morocco toward the
French:
One day the sultan asked lady, the
wife Of his dentist, to play one of the
pianos that were in the room of the
palace. She played several pieces, one
Of them at length catching the sultan's
fancy, whereupon the following little
dialogue took place:
Sultan That piece is very nice.
What is 1t called?
Dentist-It is the March on Cadiz."
II was written to commemorate the
Spaniards driving the French out Of
Spain.
Sultan-What! We're the French in
Spain?
Dentist-Yes.
Sultan-How many Of them?
DentIst-About 10000.
Sultan On surprised tone)-And the
Spaniards drove them out?
Dentist-Yes, every one Of them.
There was a slight pause while the
sultan was thinking hard, and then:
Sultan (quietly)-Play 1t again.

WOMEN CLAW AND KICK
Suffragettes Fight Like Amazons With
the British Police.

London, Nov. 22.-The trouble with
the suffragettes today did not end with
the escape of Mr.. AsQuith. Robbed of
their special prey. a big body of wom-
en- broke through the police barrier
and reached Downing street For a
considerable time pandemonium
reigned in the vicinity of the minis
terial residences and government Of
fee. Shrieking women, many of them
armed with bamboo poles that had
been used to support the banners but
now served as lanceS, fought like
Amazons, desperately attacking the po-
lice and clawing and kicking to such
good purpose that the police line was
broken and the officers forced to retire
temporarily.
Police achievements were hurried
to the scene and, throwing themselves
against the rioters, checked the ad-
vance.
Women and their male sympathizers
were hurled to the ground. In many
cases the officers literally dragged the
women out of the fighting zone and
thus saved them from being trampled
to death by the mob behind.
1t was some time before the police
succeeded in clearing Downing street.
A litter of millinery, bits of costumes,
hand bags and torn banners gave evil
dence of the fierceness with which the
field had been contested.

MARKED FOR DEATH.
Conspiracy for Assassination of Mexi-
can Federal Officials.

Mexico City, Nov. 22.-Documents
found in the house of a revolutionary
are said to have revealed a conspiracy
for the wholesale assassination of
prominent government officers, includ-
ing Foreign Minister Creel, Vice Presi-
dent Corral and other prominent
Mexicans among them Editor Spin
dola, owner of Ell Impartial.
Miguel S. Macedo, sub-secretary of
the government was also listed for
death. President Diaz was to be cap
tured but his life spared because of his
past services to the country. The bodies
of those killed were to be suspended
from electric light wires in the street.
The building of Ell Impartial was to
have been destroyed by dynamite.
The papers exposing the conspiracy
were discovered during raid by the
police on Sunday.
Three employees of Ell impartial
had been furnished with the explosive
and were instructed to use it at the
first report of the uprising, which was
planned for last Sunday.
The seizure of the plans on the day
on which they were to be executed is
thought to have had a great effect in
heading off the rebellion.
Fighting is reported in progress this
afternoon at Chihuahua. Orizaba is
reported quiet.
