To R.F D. Patrons

In view OF the extent to which the
practice Of placing loose coins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown,
and the delay in the delivery and
collection of mail and the hardship
imposed on rural carriers incident
thereto, you are informed that, COM
mencing February Is, proximo, rural
letter carriers will not be required to
collect loose coins from rural mail
boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece OF paper, or deposit them in
a coin-holding receptacle, SO they
can be easily and quickly taken
from boxes, and carriers will be re-
quired to lift such coins, and, where
accompanied by mail for dispatch,
attach the requisite stamps.

 In a low voice, but steadily. Alice began her story. She spoke briefly of her humble life with the BOnnetons, of her work at Notre Dame. of the oc- casional visits of her supposed cousin. the woodcarver, and finally described the moment when she was thrust into that cruel chamber and left there with M.

 Through the tense silence that fol- lowed her recital came the judges voice. And you accuse a certain per son of committing this crime?"
 'I do," she answered firmly.
 Whom do you accuse"
 The audience literally held its breath as the girl paused before replying. She turned slowly toward the cover ing nobeman and said distinctly, 'I accuse the Baron de Heidelmann- Bruck."
 All eyes turned to the accused. He struggled to speak. but the words choked his throat. If ever a great man was guilty in appearance the Baron de Heidelmann-Bru was that guilty great man!
 'T insist on saying" he burst out finally. but the judge cut him short.
 You will be heard presently, sir. Call the next witness"
 The girl withdrew. casting last fond look at her lover, and the clerk s voice was heard sumnoning NJ. Pou- geot.
 The commissary appeared forthwith and, with all the authority of his of fee, testified in confirmation of Alice's story. There was no possible doubt that the girl would have perished in the flames but for the heroiSm of Paul Coquenil.

sissippi Well to the front in an assembly
where if a man is TO serve well he must

In both of his races Mr. Vardaman
demonstrated much strength. In the pop

by only few hundred votes, while in
this legislative contest Mr.. Percy on the
deciding roll call had the best of 1t by
only five votes. Not satisfied. Mr.. Varda-

The next contest will be before the peo-

to canvass the state with his opponent. as
he did in his contest with Mr.. Williams.
In his first race, Mr.. Vardaman had the
advantage OF an organization he had per-

filling good places in the state, and they
worked for him. Such factor is always
important in such contest, and 1t put
Mr.. Williams to his trumps to win. With
all of his ability as a stumper. and all
of the prestige he had acquired in the
House. he only squeezed through.
In this second race, Mr.. Vardaman had
the benefit of much of this same help.

no hobbies, but stood upon broad prin-
ciples of progress and right. Beck. Har-

law and men of real force. Southern in
residence and sympathies, they yet were

BILE, where 1T is not caused directly by
the strikers themselves. is the work Of
the idle. the vicious and the unthink-
ing.
The ordering of a strike means the
invoking of all these elements. 1t Is n
deliberate mediation to riot because
those who order 1T know perfectly well
that the moment the employees Of 4
transportation line. for instance. leave
their work a Pandora's box is opened.
In every city are hundreds Of men and
boys who delight in such a chance to
riot, to destroy property, to injure
other people impersonally in gratifica-
ton of a brutal lust for blood and the
sight of suffering. A strike appeals to
the lowest forces in humanity. and the
great misfortune of our laws today is
that there is no adequate penalty for
those who knowingly invoke those
forces by deliberately breaking rela
tionships that stand for order and for
public service.
The issue in Philadelphia is now
joined. The city must restore peace.
and in restoring peace it must wage
the fight of the railroad companies and
resist the operatives and their so-called
"sympathizers." Whether the order for
a sympathetic strike is obeyed or not.
there can be no security for any class
of citizens in Philadelphia until it has
been demonstrated that mobs do not
rule.

Philadelphia'S strike situation pre-
sents an aspect of tragedy more than
usually distressing and yet character

tions between capital and labor In the
course of rioting yesterday great
many small boys were strikingly in
evidence, forming large part of

midst of this mischievous activity when
he was wounded.

The Tibetan Fugitive.

In the summer of 1904 the British
expedition under Col. Younghusband
crossed the Himalayan mountains from
India and entered Tibet for the purpose
of penetrating the forbidden land and
securing an agreement with the Tibetans
guaranteeing trade rights to British mer-
chants. the Dalai Lama. the political
head of the Tibetan organization, fleeing
before the invaders. He took refuge
in the north under Chinese protection.
Although the British remained at Lassa
for Some time, In the hope that he would
return. he declined to put faith in their
promises of protection 1t was thought
at the time that his refusal to sign the
agreement vitiated il. and as matter of
fact the Chinese We're disposed to re-
fuse it full recognition on that ground
After some time spent in China the
Dalai Lama returned, the British having
withdrawn from Lassa, and resumed his
place in the great structure which
crowns the highest point in Lassa and
marks it as one of the architectural
wonders of the world.
History now curiously reverses itself
The Chinese have entered Lassa for
the purpose of clinching their grip upon
Tibet as dependency of the govern
ment at Peklng. The Dalai Lama has
fed. but not to the north. He has gone
southwark. crossing the Himalayas by
the very route followed by Younghus-
band in 1904, and has taken refuge at
Darjeeling, on the southern slopes of the
great mountain wall separating India
from Tibet. Before leaving Lassa the
Grand Lama appealed to Lord Mimic
for protection. which, of course was re-
fused. inasmuch as the British govern
ment has no desire TO precipftate a con-
fict with China or otherwise to COM
plicate the far eastern situation. In
fact, 1t Is now surrnised that possibly
the Chinese move to Lassa is quite in
accordance with British ideas and that
the officials al Calcutta are entirely
satisfied 10 have Tibet brought definitely
under Chinese rule
