RURAL FREE DELIVERY.


Why won't my folks remember to
address my letters as I've told them
10? I've written repeatedly to tell
them how my mail gets all mixed up
with that of those Cartrights in the
village, and yet they forget!"
Thereupon Miss Cartright sat down
at her desk and wrote several emphat-
ic postal cards-being quite at the end
OF patience, and having had trouble
with her mail ever since she rented
this place north of Croton.
A few days later she received the
following letter from her favorite
nephew, Bob:
Dear Aunt Betty. Having had from
you Roasting, Furious, Dictatorial
communication, Ia youth ordinarily
Radiant, Facetious, Debonair-have
suddenly become Rueful, frustrated.

but Devoted still.
Turning hastily to examine Bob's en-
velope, Miss Cartright saw why the
postman had been so queer" this
morning. He had handed out her
mail, his face all in broad grin, and
had remarked, as he drove off, II

Secretary of the Treasury, and SO far as
can be gathered there has been no appeal
from the municipal authorities of Phila-
delphia or the state officials of Pennsyl-
vania for national troops. At the request
Of theTreasury, the adjutam general to
whom the Secretary of War referred the
matter. promptly telegraphed to Maj
Gen. Leonard Wood. commanding the
Department of the East, in New York, to
have troops in readiness to protect the
mint. leaving 1t to his discretion whether
to send the regulars from Governors Is
land or from Fort du Pont. 1t is said at
the department that it will occupy about
the same space of time to get the SOL
diers in Philadelphia from either place.
1t Is distinctly understood that these
government troops if they enter the city
will not at least in this phase of the riot
ing take any part in the police work, be-
yond defending the mint and other gov
eminent property. Precedent for that &C
ton on the part of the national authori-
ties is found in the case of the great
Denver strikes in 1903. when federal
troops from Fort Logan were ordered into
the city to safeguard the mint there 1t
is recalled that the appearance of the
regulars had a wonderfully quieting eff
feet upon the disturbers. Similar action
was taken in the railroad strikes in Chi
cago in 1904.

Church, was chosen to succeed DR.. Alli-
son as chairman of the committee on mar
rative of the presbytery.

could not tell how long the conferences
would continue, but he felt sure there
would be others following the one he
was just about to commence with the
trainmen. and they might last for some
days.
While no prediction as to the outcome
can be made or a word of comment OBJ

may be said that the present indications

EXPECT FIGHT ON BILL
APPROPRIA-
TON BEFORE THE SENATE.
Provision for Forest Service Likely
to Provoke Controversy-Para-
graph Goes Over.

Senator Dolliver called up the agricul-
tural appropriation bill in the Senate
today.
The bill carries appropriations amount
ing to almost fourteen million dollars,
and inasmuch as the forestry bureau is
included in this provision, it has bean
anticipated that it would provoke con-
siderable discussion.
The reading of the bill had not long
proceeded when Senator Hepburn made
inquiry concerning the increase of the
number of law clerks in the Agricultural
Department from two to ten. He ap-
peared satisfied when Mr.. Dolliver ex-
planned that the apparent increase was
merely transfer.
Mr.. Dolliver said that the law clerks
of the forestry bureau had been taken
from that bureau and placed directly
under the solicitor for the department.
When the principal paragraph relating
to the forestry bureau was reached and
after a consultation with Mr.. Hepburn,
Senator Dolliver requested that it be
passed over while the reading of the
remainder OF the bill proceeded. His
purpose was to have the bill completed
as nearly as possible before the con-
tested provision was taken up.

FLOCK TO THE MIDWAY
MANY OF THE STARS GUESTS
MAKE AN EARLY START.
Sunday Papers, Containing Free
Admission Coupons, Were in
Great Demand.
On to the Midway.


This is the rallying cry for today, and
the finest of fair weather is helping to
make the opening day of The Stars
party a great success. Early this aft
ernoon. even before today's paper went
to press large crowds were vending their
way toward the big new pleasure pavil-
ion at 18th street and Park road. The
human roulette" was doing land Of
flee business" and the soup bowl was
piled half full Of laughing. shouting
youngsters, while the "catapult' was
carrying steady stream of The Stars
guests on the pell-mell toboggan down its
slippery length.
Copies of The Sunday Star were in
great demand, and the regular edition
was exhausted before the sun was well
on it's way above the horizon. Some
regular readers who expected to get their
papers as usual from the newsboys on
the corners were disappointed. and for
their benefit il was necessary to print a
few hundred extra copies of the paper.
Although the Midway party for which
The Star stands sponsor throughout five
days of this week. namely, Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
is proving to be one OF the most popular
events of it's sort in the history of the
community.
The Free Midway coupon was print
ed in The Sunday Star, and it may safe
~ be said that there were mighty few
subscribers who had not planned long
in advance to take advantage of the Of
fer Of free healthful amusement Con-
sequently the papers containing the
coupons were sought far and wide and
family groups to go to the Midway were
formed wherever 1t was found possible to
secure extra coupons from stay-at-home
friends.
AS has been previously announced, the
free coupons will be just good as
money to secure admission to the Mid
way any day this week from Monday to
Friday between the hours of 3 and in
the afternoon.
