French Mayor Objects to knickerbock-

saw Mile. Abukais. one of the aero
planists at the Etampes meeting, wear
ing jaunty knickerbockers with bril-

had the police issue a summons
against the lady.
Mile. Abukais flew every day during
the week, and each day she wore
knickerbockers and stockings despite
the mayors di%sapproval. Each day a
fresh summons was issued. When
Mile. Abukais appears for trial she
may be fined.
Meanwhile the jocose French news
papers are demanding that the mayor
shall state just what costume air wo-
men should wear in order that rural
propriety may not be shocked.

OLD TIME MISSISSIPPI
METHODS OUT OF DATE.
Captain Formerly Waded to Locate
Elusive Channel.

Steamboatmen who have been con
tending with low water in the upper
Mississippi river should consult with
the more ancient mariners in the Mis-
sissippi for pointers on the movement
of boats on low water and then start
out to restore navigation on the
stream.
Captain William Kelly, secretary Of
the Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots
society, says this is the first season
since 1856 to his personal knowledge
that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer of 1856, Captain Kel-
ly says, he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whipple when the water was
four inches lower than this years rec
ord. The boat was towing two barges
as lighters coming down the stream.
but got stuck on the crossing at Rob
inson's rocks, fourteen miles below st.
Paul.
Captain Kelly says he waded into
the river ahead of the boat to locate
the best place to drop the anchor and
pull the boat Over the bar. The water
was sixteen inches deep, and the best
channel was located by wading. and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wetting a stitch of his cloth
ing.
The method of pulling the boats
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out in a yawl ahead of the
steamer. drop it to the bottom of the
river and pull the boat Over by 4 line
attached TO the anchor and to the cap
stan on the boat.
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred to the barges to light
en- the boat. The run was then made
without difficulty till the next crossing
was reached. when the anchor and
capstan process of pulling the boat
over might be repeated.

The ladies of the w. c. T. U.
placed their drinking fountain in
front of DeGroff's on east B street,
Wednesday. This represents a hard
struggle upon the part of the ladies
in raising the funds necessary, and
special credit belongs to Mrs. Inglis
in the wind-up. The fountain is HAND
some and sanitary, and a credit to
the city, which through its city III
thorities should have put the foun-
tain up itself. The city pays the
water tax, however. The fountain is
also attached to the sewer system.

The English queen mother. Queen
Alexandra. does not intend ever again

many of the costly and elaborate gar
ments in the royal wardrobe which
she will never use. She will wear the

with the peak in front and hanging
veil behind for some time to come
when out Of doors, but indoors she
usually wears a white Grape headdress
with a white Grape collar and broad

Cash REGISTERS
IN POSTAL BANK
Yankee Ingenuity TO InGIa
Adoption of Plan.
START WITH OLD SYSTEM.

Cumbersome Foreign Procedure OF
Pass Books to Be Dropped as Soon
as Desirable Machine Is Invented to
Safeguard Money Deposits of Public,
Says Postmaster General.
That the United States will have a
postal savings bank plan entirely diff
ferent from all other postal savings
schemes and that its superiority over
other systems is a tribute to Yankee
out in an explanation made recently
by Frank ii. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, concerning his intentions re-
garding this new financial feature in
the life of the country.
Mr.. Hitchcock has assured himself
that the groundwork has been laid Sc
curely for the establishment of the
postal banks.
Cash Register Guards Deposits.
Although every other country which
has a postal savings bank system uses
the pass book plan in order to keep
track of the deposits of money. Mr..
Hitchcock. after many conferences with
authorities on savings banks, has de-
liberately cut loose from this scheme.
He has decided to adopt a plan which
in the end will depend upon machin-
cry.
To be more exact, the cash register.
essentially al American idea, will keep
tabs on the deposits Of money and will
guard the public against the p%ossibili-
ty of embezzlement and theft on the
part of those who handle the sums
turned in to be guarded by the gov
eminent.
Never before has this plan been con-
sidered by any country. and all e
Europe there is now in effect the
cumbersome scheme of handling pass
books. All the other postal savings
plans of the world are practically
identical.
1t is now up to some inventive genius
to put on the market a cash register
which will do the things required for
handling the money intruSted to h
poStoffices of the United States.
Deposit Slips at First.
But Mr.. Hitchcock has not %calculat-
ed that the cash register system can
be put into operation at once, first.
because no satisfactory register is on
the market and, secondly. because the
expense of installing the system at
would be too great.
For the first six months or a year
there will be used deposit slips. han
died by hand. They will be in figures
from 81 to SO. and in addition to these
there will be slips for so. $50 and $50.
The $40. $50 and $50 slips will be made
out in duplicate. so that there will be
no opportunity for clerks or receiving
tellers to falsify them.
Only the slips running from 81 to 50
will be made out in ink as issued, and
the postmaster general has figured
that there is slight chance of anybody
mourning the danger of the peniten-
for the benefit of classifying any
less than so.

Nothing is too small for the atten-

known as the codex. DIR. Roux, the
head of the institute. has told the

of this fever has been isolated and
a serum made to inoculate other ca
naries.
Canaries vaccinated with this serum
proved comparatively immune against
the attacks of the codex, while non
inoculated birds suffered severely when
attacked.
