DeGraW Answer Questions.

Editor The Herald and News:
Please announce in your paper that
the public is cordially invited to at
tend all Of the sessions Of the rural
carriers convention to be held here
next Monday and Tuesday. The
meetings will be held in the new
court house The chief feature OF
the convention will be an address Oh
Tuesday morning by Hon. P. V. De-
Graw, fourth assistant postmaster
general, of Washington, D. G. I am
sure that the patrons of rural routes
would profit by hearing Gen. De-
Graw's talk as he is a splendid
speaker, and all who hear him will
find his address both entertaining and
instructive. ~-6,l':.-. ..'':s~.~
At the conclusion of Gen. DeGraW's
address a question box will be open
ed and questions written on slips OF
paper and placed in the box will be
taken out and answered by Gen. De-
Graw. The rural carrier and his pat
rons are constantly meeting with per-
picking questions that must be set
tied on the spur of the moment. Take
the following questions for instance:
els it a violation of the postal laws
and regulations for a carrier to accept
money and application for money or
der payable to a whiskey firm from
a minor or boy under 81 years OF
age?" "What must a carrier do when
he has registered letter to deliver
and no one at the place can write?
"a patron hands carrier an IN
stamped letter and 25-cent piece
The carrier can't make change ii
money and the patron doesn't want
the change in stamps. The carrier
agrees to stamp the letter if the pat
ron will pay him 2 cents the next day
Is this a violation Of the postal laws
and regulations?''
Carriers and patrons and any 9th
ers wishing to do so may ask any
question that may come to mind anc
1 am sure all will find Gen. DeGraw'E
answers pleasant and interesting.
Let US have a full house of patrons
and carriers on Tuesday morning
next.
The ladies of the town and county
have a special invitation to attend
these meetings and to hear Gen. De
Graw's address. Many of the visiting
carriers will bring their wives to the
convention.

New York, March 8.-Thomas Col

ator from New York and for years a
national figure in Republican politics,
died at 3:45 this afternoon in the
apartment Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gustave
Adele, on West Eleventh street, from
whom he had rented three rooms for
the last four years. Mrs. Adele had
been his nurse.
DIR. Paul Auterbridge, his physician,
said tonight that the cause of death
was chronic and acute Bright's disease.
The body was removed tonight to the
home of Frank H. Plat, a son, and
will be taken to Oswego, New York,
the senator's birthplace, where it will
be buried Funeral services will be
held Wednesday at the Presbyterian
church in Oswego.
The end was startlingly sudden. Al
hour before the senator died his two
sons, Frank and Edward, with theil
families, and his son, Harry, with the
latter's daughter Charlotte and sol
Sherman, had left the house aftel
their usual daily visit. The senator
said at that time he felt very we'll ant
thought he would read the papers.

If we are not careful, if we do not
show the right craftsmanship, and if
we have not back of it the great moral
force of the American people to defeat
that purpose, we shall be drawn into
trouble.
"The most difficult problem the ma
tion has to deal with" continued Mr..
Schiff, "is the problem of the Far
East. am sorry to have to say it,
but we are in danger of war over this
same question. AS friend of Japan,
one who helped to finance her late war,
