WHY WE HAVE NO PARCELS
 POST

The estimates tentatively put be-
 fore the treasury department by the
 postmaster general include appropri- ations amounting to $15O,O00. which
 Mir. Hitchcock would use to establish
 a parcels post. Of course, much larg- CT expenditure than this will be re-
 quired to make a parcels post system
 thoroughly comprehensive and effec-
 tive, but the above sum will meet
 all the necessary expenses of organ
 iZatiOn and keep the machine running
 until it's value can be clearly demon-
 strated. A parcels post system once
 inaugurated will never be abandoned.
 The people will see to that. The ex
 perience of the British postoffice
 should alone be enough to induce congress to give Hitchcock the mon-
 ey for which he asks.
 If it had not been for the opposi-
 ton of the express companies and the influence they have been able to exert in successive congresses, We would have enjoyed the benefits of a parcels post long ago. Instead of the paltry concession of a fOur-pound package, which is now the mailable limit. a citizen ought to be able to mali parcels at least three times as large and at a rate very much low CT than the cent an ounce charge which now makes it nearly as eXpen- sive to send small parcel by mail as to send it by an express company
 The inland parcels post was estab
 lished in the United Kingdom on August l. 1883, and even a casual examination of the records shows what an immense popularity it has since achieved. In the first year 14,00O000 parcels were carried under a weight limitation of seven pounds and a graduated charge ranging from 6 cents for packages under one pound to 25 cents for packages over five pounds, but within the seven pound limit Since then the service has in- creased enormously in volume. the parcels carried now numbering well over 100,0O0.000 a year. In 1896 the weight limit of the parcel service was increased to eleven pounds. while the charges were materially reduced from the standards of 1883. The British pOstoffice does not put itself absolutely at the mercy of railways in the transportation of parcels. but a motor van service, which handles a very considerable prOpor- tion of the whole business
 At its first regular session. begin | ming on December of this year, the | congress. with this ex- ample of an invaluable service in | plain view, should authorize a parcels | post. It would thus establish a great | public convenience. It would break |

R0BBER THANKED THE JUDGE
QUICK JUSTICE Melted OUT TO
RAILROAD ROBBER GANG.
Anderson, Man With Many Aliases,
Gets Twenty Years, and Others
Go Up for Fifteen.

GAINESVILLE, Ga.-"Its twenty
years for you, Anderson said Judge
Jones to the leader of the train rob-
bers as he stood up to receive his
sentence.
Thank you, Judge; robbery is
robbery, and here's another case"
responded the prisoner as though
greatly satisfied. He then turned to
the ladies in the court room and stat
ed there was only one just law for
robbery, and that was the Ten Com
mandments.
The other prisoners, Hanford and
Hunter, were given fifteen years
each, but neither had aught to say.
Exhibits Rare COmpOsure.
The feature apart from the YER
dict was Anderson's conduct when
the jury was being selected. With
a compOsure rarely witnessed in a
criminal trial Anderson scanned the
faces of every man presented, and as
if by intuition he directed his attor-
ney to accept or reject. He was
probably the coolest man in the court
room throughout the trial.
Anderson, alias odd Bill Miner,
Hanford and Hunter were accused
OF being members of the gang which
held up the United States fast mail
| a Southern railway train, near White
Sulphur Springs, Ca, on the morn
ing of February IS.
Anderson Wanted in Victoria.
Anderson is wanted in Victoria, B.
G., to serve the remainder of a term
for train robbery, but his conviction
here today means that he will not be
surrendered to the Canadian author
tiles. until after the completion of
his sentence in Georgia. AS he is
65 years of age he will probably
never be required to complete his
term in Canada.

drafts, was freed through the good
-ofaces OF a credulous father-in-law.
and straightway was divorced. Sill
verb rg shook Rochester for Venice.
and made love to a countess. She
amIably divorced her husband only
to learn that the smooth American
had no money.
AT her suggestion he assumed the
name of j. Coleman Drayton, whom
he resembled,- and they bounded
about Europe in fine style, living on
the Drayton credit. In London he
was arrested for diamonds unpaid
for in Baden-Baden. The real ].
Coleman Drayton turned up, and
Silverberg was taken to Germany
and sentenced to prison for three
years. American influence got him
out. While he was trafficking in
America the countess was selling Sc
crets back and forth at the time of
the Dreyfus fiare-up.
Thereafter all lands knew Silver
berg. In Chihuahua, Mex, he was
imprisoned for forging $4,000
drafts and swindling a bank, but es-
capped. Under the name of ]. c..
Whitney, Jr.,' he got $4,000 from
a firm of builders in Chicago In
Budapest he grabbed $4,000 and
fed to London. He eloped with a
Baltimore girl, and left her penni-
less. In 1901 he married a widow
of means and toured the country
on her money.
In Siam the king entertained Mr..
and Mrs Drayton,' and gave "Mr.
Drayton" railroad franchise
through rich teakwood country. In
India they were the guests of Lord
Curzon at a state banquet In Cal
cutta Silverberg bought a string of
race horses and gave his note for
$4,000. In the Philippines he es-
tablished a rickshaw company. In
Japan, posing as a member of the
firm of DraytOn, Endicott & Co.,
he received. special privileges from
the apps.
Once in a while Silverberg learned
that the Pinkertons were close be-
hind him At such times he and his
wife dropped from sight for a short
time.
At one time Silverberg was an
exposer of mining frauds for Dem
yer newspaper. Gov Thomas made
him a commissioner to raise funds
for mining exhibit at the Paris ex-
position. Later he stumped Mon
tana for Senator Clarke and became
editor Of a newspaper.

WHITE WOMAN DIED ON ROPE IN 1906
Polly Barclay, Who Was Executed at Washington, Ga
Was the First Woman to Be Hanged in This State

IN the office of Ordinary Tanning,
that Polly Barclay, a white woman,
was the first to be hanged in Georgia
for murder. She was convicted of
completely in the murder of her hus-
band, but was recommended to the
mercy of the court because she was
a woman and no precedent existed
in this state for the capital punish
ment of woman.
The entry on the court record of
1906 reads; eve, the jury find the
prisoner at the bar guilty. but rec
ommend mercy"
The stern judge of that day.
Charles Taite, paid no heed to the
recommendation for mercy, He or
dered the prisoner to stand before
him. When there was no word of
protest offered to the courts inquiry
if Polly Barclay had aught to saw
why the sentence of death should
not be passed upon her the death
sentence was pronounced as fol-
lows:
That you, Polly Barclay, be TAX
en- from the bar to the place whence
you came, there to remain until Fri
day, the thirteenth day of the pres
ent month Of May, and there on that
day you are to be taken by the prop
er officers to the gallows to be pre-
viously erected, in or near the town
or Washington, and between the
hours Of 10 o'clock in the forenoon
and 2 o'clock in the afternoon you
are to be hung by the neck until
your body is dead, and the Lord
have mercy on your soul"
Polly Barclay was hanged from a
limb of a tree which still stands on
the main thoroughfare of Washing
ton.
