Order of Sept Caused Inconvenience
and Many Complaints from the
Public

Postmaster Collins NJ. Graves re-
ceived word yesterday from the post
Office department at Washington, to
the effect that beginning tomorrow.
mail will be placed in the boxes
Sundays, as previous to Sept. 1.
Permission to place the mail in box
es on Sunday was granted to this Of
fee through the efforts of postmaster
Graves, who has received many COM
plants since the order restricting
work in the post Offices on Sunday
went into effect Sept. l. This is not
a general order and the change has
been made to apply to this office, in
view of the fact that the post office is
necessarily kept open on Sunday for
the arrival and departure of trains
and the clerks are willing to place let
tiers in the lock boxes as it relieves
them of the extra work on Monday.
Since the beginning of this quarter,
about fifty boxes have been given up,
when the convenience of being able to
get mail Sunday was done away with.

LIVELY RUNAW AY
ON MAIN Street
THIS MORNING
Horse Ran One Way and Cow
Went Another
BOTH BELONGED TO NJ. LEVIN
Horse Stopped Near Putnam House
and Carriage Left Lying in Ditch
Badly Smashed Up

A more or less disastrous runaway
occurred this morning about 1880,
when horse belonging to Morris Lee
win, which had been left standing on
West Main street, freed itself from
the blackboard to which it was attach
ed, and ran down through the street
to the Putnam house, where 1t was
stopped.
Mr. Levin was driving the horse and
at the same time leading COW be-
hind. The COW in some way got away
and Mr.. Levin got out of the carriage
to capture It, In the meantime, the
horse left without a driver, became
FESTIVE and started on run down
Main street, striking a telephone pole
in front of the John S. Holden house,
and taking off a wheel. David p.
Sears made an unsuccessful attempt
to stop the horse near the railroad
crossing, where the carriage, which
was badly smashed up by that time,
was left lying in the ditch.
The horse continueing its mad ca
reer was stopped by James s. Silk
and a young man named Griswold
near the Putnam house. where quite a
crowd had collected. When last seen,
Mr.. Levin was still after the COW.

DEFIED THE KAISER.
A Pilot Who Knew His Business and
Had Lots Of Nerve.

A Pilot VINO Knew his BUSINESS ano
Had Lots OF Nerve.
In a fit OF Impotence because the
speed of his yacht was slowed down on
entering a certain harbor. the German
emperor on one occasion tried to assert
his authority and rang the bell for
Full speed ahead" To his great sur
prise, the pilot. an old Norwegian
named Nordhuns, who knew the dan
gerous character of the channel, plac-
ed himself in the way and, leaning
over the wheel called down the tube
to the engine room, Half speed ahead
never mind the bell!'
What. You dare to countermand
my orders?" cried the impetuous mon
arch. again ringing the bell.
Disregard the BELL" calmly repeat
ed Nordhuns through the tube.
For moment the kaiser glared at
the intrepid pilot and then. drawing
himself up to his full height, said ma
jestically. Go below, sir, and report
yourself under arrest"
Leave the bridgew Numbered the
Norwegian grimly, as he grasped the
wheel more firmly. This ship is In
my charge, and I'll have no interfer-
ence with my orders from emperor or
seaman
The officers on deck hurried silently
aft. wishing luck to the sturdy old
sea dog, who. knowing that he had
,ba law oa wall no comm0n Sansa on
his side. stood at his post mistaken by
threats, unheeding commands, and
steered the Hohenzollern safely into
port.
The next day the emperor came to
his senses and decorated the pilot-the
king at the wheel-with one grade OF
the Order OF the Black Eagle and also
appointed him his life pilot in Norwe-
gian waters.-Pearson's Weekly.
