POSTAL RULES TO REMEMBER.
How PnbIic Can Help Avoid Trouble
Christmas Week.

Although the great increase in the
volume of the mail which will pass
through the Newberry postofice dur
ing Christmas week will mean a great
amount of extra work in the postofice,
it will be possible for the public by
following instructions and exercising
a little care and forethought to mini
mize this work. Many ways have been
suggested by the local authorities in
which the public can help.
The first Don't" appearing on list
made out recently by an official of the
postofice is "Don't wait until the last
minute to send your presents. Send
them early and avoid the crowded con-
dition of the mails" It will be very
hard, in this officials opinion, to make
people see the value of this suggestion.
sending Christmas presents to people
before Christmas. But Uncle Sam has
provided a remedy for this. He al
lows the sender to write on the out
side of the package Don't open until
Christmas. The name Of the sender
may also be placed inside the pack
age, so that if there is any reason why
the sender does not wish his identity
known until Christmas, he does not
have to place his name or the outside
of the package. The advantage to the
public CT beginning to send the pres
ents early is that packages are likely
to be subjected to rough and hasty
handling if left until the last big day.
And if the packages are sent early,
there will be more assurance of their
reaching their destinations promptly.
Another Don't is Don't seol the
package with sealing wax or Christi

Knisht of Pythias. In politics he was

To young Americans, Judge. Aldrlch

mas stickers or SEALS" Many people
seal the cords on packages with seal
ing wax and then wonder why the
package is not sent for third or fourth
class mail. The sealing Of a package
in such way that it can not be easily
examined by any postofice makes it
first class matter, subject to first
class rates. At Christmas there are
always a large number of seal and
stamps representing the season and
warning is issued not to seal the cords
of the packages or any parts of the
packages with these seals.
'Don't write inside third or fourth
class matter" This is a well known
regulation, but is repeated every year
at Christmas, because there are so
many people who will persist IN for
getting and who wish to write an es-
say On the title page Of every book
they send away or to save two cents
by smuggling in a letter inside pack
age of merchandise. Of course, all
packages containing things of this
kind inside will be returned. There
are exemptions, however, and Uncle
Sam permits the sender Of a package
to write a brief statement inside, ex-
pressing the seasons greetings, CIV
ing the name of addressee and sender
or any short thing Of the sort.
Don't forget to have your package
weighed" This is important. Those
who have dealings with Uncle Sam
through his big messenger service
know that he is an exacting business
man and demands all that is coming to
him-and generally gets it. And so If
chances are taken and packages are
not weighed, the sender risks having
his package returned, or what many
regard as worse, making the addressee
pay postage due on it.
And still another Don't" says Don't
forget to put the sender's name in the
upper left-hand corner of the address
side of the article" This rule holds
good 365 days in the year and 500 e7-
cry leap year, but it is especially nee
essary to observe it On Christmas,
when hundreds of thousands OF pack
ages are travelling about the country.
In writing your address in the upper
left-hand corner, do not make 1t Sc
conspicuous that it will overshadoW
the address of the person for whom
the package is intended. If you 90
this the package will probably be re-
turned to you.

CANAAN'S. G. A, R. POST
 NOW 29 YEARS OLD
List With Present Roster Shows Many Veterans Gone.

The appointment of a committee of cordance with suggestion in these col umns, to confer with the local Grand Army veterans with a view to cooper ating in the forthcoming Memorial Day ceremonies, was timely and ap' propriate proceeding. The time is close at hand when there will be no Grand Army veterans to keep alive the beauti- ful practice of strewing flowers upon the graves of the soldiers, aud the GUS tom must be maintained by others, if it Is kept up at all. And it is inconceiv- able that either the present or the com ing generation will allow the custom to die. The ties of kinship are too close, the perspective of time is too short, the sense of personal obligation and the debt of gratitude too binding to allow the soldiers day, with it's beautiful memorial ceremonies, to be neglected.
 The local Post has kept up It's practice of decorating the graves of departed comrades, in it's own way, and without depending on the cooperation of the general public, though it has apprecia- lively accepted the voluntary tributes of flowers and service on Memorial day {; but its ranks are now so thin, and the physical condition of some of the vet erans, as Mir. Roberts has said, is such thai they may not much longer take the initiative, and it must deYolve upon the coming generations to carry on the work.
 In this connection a few points in the history of the Post may not be out of order. David s. Cowles Post, c. A. R., Number 60, was organized Dec. 26, 1889, with 23 charter members. It was named in honor of Colonel David s. Cowles. of the 12Sth Regiment, New York Volunteers. Colonel Cowles was native of Canaan, son of the Rev. Pitkin Cowles. The first meeting was held Dec. 20 of that year, and of f1cers elected for the ensuing year, as follows:
 Commander, Nicholas VanDeusen.
 s. V. o., Albert P. Briggs.
 J. V. O., David D. Walter.

BURNED 10 A CRISP
>ANGELINE HOAG M'CARTY
 MEETS HORRIBLE FATE
Woman 76 Years Old Alone in House, Accidentally Sets Her Clothing on Fire and is Literally Roasted Alive. >... ./

Mrs Dennis Mo cCarty, formerly Ange- line Hoag, met a frightful death by fire, at her home on the Ashley Falls road, just above the state line. Tuesday morn ing, and had it not been for prompt action on the part of neighbors, the house itself would have been reduced to ashes.
 Just how the casualty occurred nobody knows, as the woman was alone in the house, her brother, Royal Hoag, who lived with her, having gone to his work for the day. It was shortly after o'clock when the attention of passer by was attracted by smoke issu- ing from crevices in the door. He rushed Ill and found Mrs. McCarty sit ting on a lounge near the door, with her clothing all on fire, and horribly burned At the instant of discovery she slid off to the floor, and it is supposed she was dead even before the neighbors calae Water was procured, in buckets from the well, and few pailfuls were sufficient to put out the fire, which had a most entirely consumed the lounge and was getting fair start on the walls and woodwork of the room.
 The woman's body was burned to 8 crisp i'll places, and frightfully distorted. Her clothing was burned completely off. The body was covered with blanket aud Medical Examiner Beebe sent for.
 The supposition is that the victim had been working over the stove, and her clothing having accidently caught fire, she ran over to the lounge in helpless yony, being unable to extinguish the fames, and was overcome. There was 8 large pool of blood under the lounge, which, in the opinion of Dr. Lee, who lanced to pass that way after the casualty, might have been caused by the rapid burning away of an artery. or by hemorrhage. which suggests the possibility that she might have been taken with hemorrhage while working over the stove and accidentally allowed her dress to take fire as result of sud- den faintness.
 The victim was 75 years of age. She was daughter of the late Murray o. Hoag, and had been a widow about two years. She leaves two sons by a former marriage, Frank and Charles Wright. of Torrington; six brothers, John, Royal, Rodney, William, Frank and Edward Hoag, and one sister, Susan, who is married and lives in Torrington.
