MADE POSTMASTER IN 1893
Richard Fairbanks Of Boston Ap
pointed by Massachusetts Gen.
eral Court in That Year.

The first account Of the formal es-
tablishment Of postmaster is found
In the records of the general court OF
Massachusetts,. by which, in 1857, IT
was ordered that notice be given that
Richard Fairbanks, his house in Ros-
ton is the place appointed for all let
tiers which are brought from beyond
tbs seas or are TO be sent thither t.
be left with him and he is to take
care that they are to be delivered or
sent according to his direction. And
he is allowed for every letter penny
and must answer all miscarriages
through his own neglect in this
kind"
In May, 1893, by an act of the gen.
eral assembly it was provided that q
general post office may be erected by
Andrew Hamilton at Philadelphia
and that Andrew Hamilton 'or some
other as shall be appointed by the
king" should be postmaster generaf
':in these parts ana his deputy or dep
uties in that Office should demand, re-
ceiye and take postage, etc"

to appoint all deputy postmasters.
In 1877 Benjamin Franklin was aP-

FATAL FLAW IN HER BLUFF
Dilatory 'keuna Woman Had Over

1t Spoiled the Whole Thing.

She had just discovered a new way
to fix her hair, way that took at
least half an hour longer than usual,
and the result was that she was un-
usually late that morning: iAll the
way down on the car She .acudgeled
her brain for satiSfactorys excuse,
but all the stock phrases sounded too
weak, So she finally gave UP in de-
spair. Halfway down, however, she
saw two fre-ruined houses with one
lone hose wagon standing in front and
a crowd Of curious visitors gszing at
the wreck. "Ah!" she thought, this
is a good enough excuse for anyone !"
Arriving at the Office, She did not
even give the boss time to comment
on her late arrival, but burst excited
ly in the room crying: "Oh, I saw
the biggest fire! Two or three houses
were burned down clear to the ground
and they people were standing around,
and the hose was across the track"
ETC., ETC., etc. AS she saw a-strange,
incredulOuS look on the boss face she
elaborated the story until one would
think it was a second Chicago fire.

and started to take her hat or with a

CHANGE MADE FOR TOURISTS
Pictures In Museum Of the Louvre
"standardized" With Idea Of
Pleasing Americans.

Even that sedate, historic pile, the
Museum of the Louvre, has not es-
capped the effects of the preparation
which all Paris has been undergoing
for the reception of the American tour
list. It was decided some time ago
that the old method Of hanging the
pictures according to their merits and
according to the lighting effect de-
sired was too haphazard and too prone
to confuse the visitor who was unfa-
miliar with the old works, their period
and school. Some one suggested
Standardization" There was howl
from the French press, which shrank
from the thought Of touching even
picture cord in the famous gallery, but
the thought was advanced that If the
coming thousands s6 American visit
ors to Paris We're to properly enjoy
the pictures they should be properly
classified according to their period and
school. This has been done, and now
one passes through the big rooms as
one might a department store. Here
are works of the early Italian paint
ers, here those Of the Italian renals-
sance, there those of the early Flem-
ish school and there the products OF
early Spanish genius. The Louvre,
Of course, is sacred rite. Now it's
rite simplifed, standardized and some
what stereotyped. Some pictures
which require strong light are almost
In the dark, and others which would
benefit by a somber surrounding SUI
fer a glare. The guide calls this a

Louvre remains a rare treat.-Werd

From Mars2

The worlds greatest authority in
wireless eelegraphy, Mareon!, believes
that radio messages have been re-
ceived from the planet Mars. The an,
nouneement has set scientists IN many
countries discussing the possibility of
wireless messages being sent from
one planet to another. 1t seems to be
agreed that the ether, or whatever 1t
is called which lies between the
heavenly bodies, is capable OF. trans:
mitting wireless waves, so that it Is
scientifically possible to. send such
messages, even from Mars to the
earth. Some scientists believe that
the mysterious signals received by
Marconi were caused by tricks Of our
own atmosphere. Nevertheless. Mar

are at the opening of marvellous new

Motors in United States.

Five billion passengers, or nearly
four times the 1,234,000,0O0 revenue
passengers Of the steam railroads.
were carried by automobiles in the
United States, last year. Motor trucks
hauled 1000 million tons of freight,
or nearly half the 2,504 million tons

automobile business has not been com
petitive with the railroads, however.
Much Of it is directly tributary, as
in bringing passengers from farm TO
train and in suburban service to cities.

represent an increase of 40O million
over the preceding year, and the rail-
roads showed a gain Of 60 million rev.

The Kromaroqraphe.

There has been invented in Europe
q music typewriter called the krQmaro-
raphe. With the aid of this ipstru-
rhent, it is said, the composer may
produce q typewriter scroll without
the trouble of making the characters
by hand. All that he has to do Is to
place himself at the 0iano and give
free play to his creative fancies.
Every stroke upon the keys is regis
tered in regular musical character
upon a drum. The machine operates
through a system Of electric contacts
with the piano keys. The registering
apparatus. which resembles an ordi-
nary typewriter in size. may, in order
to remove .discordant sounds, be placed
at a, distance from the piano, even
in an adjoining room.

BLUFFED HIS WAY H0MEWARD
War Veteran, Stranded in China, RI.
naIly Got Back to the States

Earl Stanley, young American war
hero and world traveller, walked boldly
up the gangway leading to the China
mail liner, China, while the vessel was
at Hongkong, presented his passports
10 the proper authorities, picked out
convenient officers stateroom ana
deposited his two suitcases. This
done, he picked out deck chair
where he could take in his new sur
roundings and proceeded to make
himself at home and comfortable.
For period Of 4S hours young
Stanley enjoyed the hospitality OF the
vessel without any interference from
the officers Of the China. Then he was
asked where his ticket was, who ne
was, whittier he was going and lot
Of other questions.
To the first Interrogation he non
chalantly told his interviewer that
he did not have q ticket calling tor
his passage, what his name was, and
that he lived in Pasadena, CAL, with
San Francisco as his port OF bidding
aGieu to the China. He also volun-
teered the information chat ne was
student at Occidental college before
the travelling bug entered his head.
Stanley's chances of reaching his
desired destination were slim, as ne
would be elected from the vessel at
one Of the nearby ports, when Capt.
]. c. Daily and Robert Pitt, travel
ing on the craft, appeared as happy
mediums. After hearing of Stanley's
embarrassment they quickly settled
the matter by arranging to pay his
passage.
Stanley was with the aviation corps
during the war and later started on
his jaunt around the world. He suf-
fered financial reverses when Hong
kong was reached and was forced to
make the last link of his trip by the

Of the Ottoman empire as it has e4-

when Pennsylvania, Slovakia and a
chunk Of Poland and Hungary were
lost. The Banat went in 1717, the
Bukowina in IT'S, the Taurida and the
Crimea. in 1888, and the Odessa dis
trict in 1882. The next century was
even more disastrous for Turkey, who
lost Bessarabia in 1872, part Of
Serbia in 1917, Georgia and Greece
Ia 1929, Algeria in 1880, Bulgaria in.
1876, northern Armenia, Runania ana
more of Serbia in 1878, Tunisia and

been behind its predecessor. Libya
was a great loss in 1912. following the
annexation by Austria in 1908 fof

particularly unfortunate for the Turks
