COOPER LOSES ANOTHER SUIT.
Must Pay H. w. Euler 5000 Attorney
Fec.

John C. Cooper, whose court cases
have been running badly of late, was
today ordered to pay H. W. Euler, a
local attorney $500 for legal services
in his recent divorce troubles. Cooper
declared he had never retained the
lawyer in the case, but his frequent
visits to Euler's office were against
him and Judge Carver decided the
aged heart breaker should pay the
bill.
Euler claimed that Cooper made
about 10 trips to his office and each
time stayed from 80 minutes to half
day, that he drew a general denial in
the divorce case for Cooper and miss
ed an opportunity to get on the other
side of the case. because he believed
he had been retained by the defense.
Cooper did not file Eulers denial in
the case, but had stenographer
make a copy and the copy was among
the files.
For his services Euler asked 5000
and half dozen local lawyers said
the work was easily worth that
amount of money.

Joseph Costello, italian consul at

The twentieth Century Wonder.

The same day that Glen Curtiss in his
aeroplane rose from the surface of the
water in San Diego Bay and after a
flight of two miles alighted on the water
at the place from which he started,
Roger Sommer in France flew a distance
of thirteen miles with six men is pas
sengers. The wonders of aviation never
cease.
1t is barely seven years since the
Wright brothers made their experiments
with a heavier than air machine on the
beach at Kitty Hawk N. c. For three
years they remained the only two men
who had proved their ability to fly. To-
day there are over 500 men flying in a
variety of machines.
In their power driven, heavier-than-air
airships the aviators have flown the
length of the Hudson from Albany to
New York. have crossed the British
ChGnnel and recrossed without alighting,
have sailed over the Alps and circled
mountain peaks in California, have soar
ed 10000 feet high among the clouds and
Travelled for over seven hours across
country without touching ground,
have alighted upon the deck of a war
ship and taken flight again back to land,
and have outdistanced the fastest eX-

In view of what has been accomplished

of its operation who shall say how far

The church was filled to overlooking,

the entire lecture. One certainly gained
a new idea of the war through the beau

The lecture covered the whole period of
the war in a clear, logical, connected
manner and 1t was delivered with an en-
thuslasm and vigor which held the in

finest of the kind ever shown in Brat

paintings and the colorings are delicate

MUST PROVIDE LETTER BOXES.
Appropriation Bill Provides that Carriers
VIII Not Deliver Mail at Houses or
Places Not Thus Equipped.

Places Not Thus Equipped
Business and economy have now reach
ed the point in the post Office department
where the loss from the minute or min
utes of the postmans waiting at the
house door for some one to answer the
ring is being calculated. If the average
wait is only one minute, the loss for the
whole service over the country is placed
at d,000,000. If there were no waits
fewer carriers would be needed, and that
sum could be saved. Accordingly, on
recommendation of the postmaster gem
eral the pending post office appropriate
bill carries a provision that after this
year city letter carriers will not make
deliveries at houses or places of bushes
unprovided with Suitable boxes or other
receptabes" placed near the door. Many
houses are already so equipped, and the
requirement that all must be If mail is
to be delivered there is reasonable. The
providing of facilities for the recent of
their mail (by erecting conveniently ac-
cesslble boxes or cutting suitable slots
In doors) would enable postma sters to
give prompter and better delivery SER
vice with the means at his disposal since
carriers could cover much more territory
In less time if not compelled to wait for
an answer to their ring.
Private receptables for mail are also
great convenience to the householder.
opNldlIhS tHe necessity of responding to
the carriers call at inconvenient mo-
ments, and permitting safe delivery of
mail in absence of members of the house
mold. They also prevent the necessity of
a carriers proceeding on his route with
out delivering mail because of failure tc
answer his ring within a reasonable time
and enable him to make deliveries tc
patrons on or near the end of his route
at an earlier hour 1t has been shown
by actual experience that the benefits
derived by patrons of city delivery from
the use of such receptacles far outweigh
the small expense involved.
