Mrs. Burnes' Suicide
 Laid, To Grief Over
 Death of Her Husband


 News of the tragic death of Mrs. Muriel Mclean Burnes. widow of George R. Burnes, former clerk of the city court, which shocked her many friends in this city Saturday has been tempered greatly by light which has been shed upon her death by addi- 'tionaI facts made public today by Judge Edward K. Nicholson, in whose office Burnes began his legal career.
 Judge Nicholson, the first to learn of the tragic end of Mrs. Burnes in a, Springfield hotel, and the executor of the Burnes estate, went to Spring field Saturday to arrange for inter ment of the body, said:
 '"Fhe rumor that there was any TO- nance whatsoever between pr. George H. Nettleton of New Haven and Mrs. Burnes is founded upon un- warranted statements.
 "As a matter of fact the death of her husband in this city less than a. year ago had caused her great mental depression. It was a blow from which shew as destined never to recover. She sought seclusion in New Haven. pr. Nettleton, and particularly the doctors mother did everything in their power to jassuage her grief. It was but last week that she visited Mrs. Nettleton and confded her grief over the death of Mr. Burnes. The kindly offices of the Nettleton family were used to make her more cheerful but apparently without ultimate sue cess.''
 A last request of Mrs. Burnes is that her body be cremated. Whether this will be compiled with at this time is now entirely in the hands of a sister-in-law, Mrs. James E. Burnes, living at Darsville, N. r.. who will have charge of the funeral arrange ments.
 Mrs. Jean s. Mccartney sister of Mrs. Burnes, has made arrangements for the funeral services. There will be services at the undertaking parlors at o'clock tomorrow afternoon and the body then will be taken to Dans- vile, N. Y.
 Mrs.. Burnes, formerly Miss Mc- Lean, was born in Nova Scotia. She came to this country a nurse some years ago and married George R. Burnes in Bridgeport in 1908.
 Their life was ideal, both being extremely fond of the other and the afhictfon which resulted in his death in a sanitarium about a year ago deeply grieved her. During the period when it was hoped he would recover, she nursed him unremittingly and when death came she collapsed.
 Later she returned to her profession of nurse. while Mr. Burnes' estate was being settled. On Friday night she dined with Dr. Nettleton and his mother in New Haven and informed them that she had decided to engage herself as nurse at the TaIathe Cuni Maternity hospital, Jamaica Plain, Mass.
 It was supposedly on her way to this institution that she changed her mind and getting off the train at Springfield, committed the rash act that has so deeply shocked her friends in this city.
 MT. and Mrs. Burns resided at 43 Freemont street in this city.

friends feel each season that the size
and variety of her dahlias can scarcely

New York, Sept. 4.-Tde newest bee

least a perfect passion for this Old-time
handwork is sweeping over the modern
hearth and now no home is complete
without a bit of handsome quilting.

patching up has become fine art
Several OF the smart speciality shops
in Fifth avenue are showing some de-
lightfully artistic and wOndrously at
tractive taings in the quilting line.
There are first of all the large bed
quilts done on unbleached muslin with
appliqued designs of old-fashioned hol-
lyhocks in lovely rose pinks and greens,
and the whole quilt bolnd in an incn-
wide binding OF green. Then there is
the morning glory design in shades OF
blue and lavender. The hollyhock de-
sign and colors are perhaps tae most
effective, and there are slip overs for
chairs, table covers and even curtains
in the same patterns, the latter appli-
qued on a single thickness of the mus
lin and quilted only in the sense of
the patchwork design being stitched on
by hand.
There are even tea napkins with tiny
patches of red and green cloth set on
in one corner like a cluster of two
cherries with a binding of the red
around the whole. In set of these
napkins there are only two of like col.
oring in the dozen, some of the cher
ries being wildly tuturistic in gorgeous
yellow, bright puppies and gay blues
and all combined with the green for
leaves.

Postmaster Bradley Makes Statement
Of Rural Delivery.

| From actual count for three months
the four rural carriers from the Charles
Town post office have delivered TO
patrons of the rural service 81. 552 pieces
of mail and have collected on the routes
1867 pieces. making total of Is, 100,
weighing-T2 s43 pounds and ten ounces.
The carriers cover "a miles daily ssrv-
ing 4S2 families about 24Io people.
There are about 400 boxes on the routes
to which the carriers make delivery, and
collect mail.
Throughout the United States rural
delivery is now established on nearly
600, 900 miles of road, sereing more
than 5000. 900 people, and il estimated
that more than 1000. 900. 900 pieces of
mail were handled by the rural carriers
during the past fiscal year with the ex
penditurs of more than $40 900. 900
The expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June go, 1897 was $I4.S4o.
In 1897, while the rural delivery ser
vice was in the experimental stage, the
the carriers from this office delivered
and collected in OF days $3.50 pieces of
mail matter. la the same number of
days during 1914 and 1915 the carriers
haye delivered and collected 1881
pieces which shows a wonderful growth
10 the service. The volume of mail has
so increased that it ID no longer tx-
pedient to carry mail horseback and
carriers are required to provide vehicle.
Each crrier from this office uses horse
aud buggy for this service. While
horses nave not become much faster the
carriers have become more efficient as
can be seen from the fact that they
leave and return at the same time as
they were scheduled in 1897, yet handle
vast quantity more mail.
Cost of the service per piece in 1897
was I.Ss cents. The average cost per
piece today is approximately one cent.
