NEW MAIL SERVICE.
FREE RURAL DELIVERY TO BE ESTAB
LISHED IN CALIFORNIA.
An Experiment to Be Made In Hantn
Clnrn County - View* of Superin
tendent Mneliin. Who Will Make
the Test.
The postoffice department is soon to
make an experiment which, if success
ful, will bring about a radical cbaDge
in the postal service of the country.
Free rural delivery is to be established
over the entire county of Santa Clara,
in the state of CaFfornia. This is the
county, writes a Washington corre
spondent, in which Congressman Eugene
Loud chairman of the house committee
on postoffices and postroads, resides.
It was selected for the experiment be
cause it presents all the conditions
which the department deems necessary
for a successful test, and for the further
reason that it will be an advantage to
have the test made where it will be
right under the eye, so to speak, of the
man through whom the legislation for
free delivery throughout the country
must originate, it such legislation
should be shown by the experiment to
be justified..
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath ever since his advent into the de
partment has been giving a great deal
of attention to the subject of rural free
delivery, and as a result of his figuring,
basod upon the showing made where
rural free delivery has been partially
established, has reached the conclusion
that in populous comities mail can be
delivered and taken up at each farm
house at no greater expense than the
government is now under in maintain
ing fourth class offices and star routes
iu such counties. His idea is to use the
money now paid out to fourth class
postmasters and to start route contract
ors for the establishment of the new
service. There are some counties, he
says, in which the new sj’stem cannot
only be inaugurated and maintained for
the same amount of money paid ont by
the government under the present sys
tem, but where an actual saving to the
government can be made by the im
proved service.
The experiment in California is to be
inaugurated by Superintendent Machin
of tlio free delivery service. Mr. Machin
will leave Washington for California in
a few days. Mr. Machin undertakes the
experiment with entire confidence in its
success. Speaking on the subject, he
said:
“The department has not yet made
such a test of rural free delivery as
might enable it to determine accurately
just what saving in other branches of
the service may accrue by reason of the
establishment of the rural free delivery
service. To make a test of this kind it
will be necessary to establish the service
throughout one county. The one hun
dred odd places in which the service is
now established cover only small por
tions of a county or township.
“A careful review of reports received
from various places satisfies the depart
ment that Santa Clara county, Cal.,
presents the best opportunities for a
thorough and satisfactory county exper
iment. It has good stone roads, and
comparatively speaking it is well set
tled, being divided up into a large num
ber of small farm or fruit gardens. A
careful investigation will soon be made
to determine how many carriers will be
required to serve the entire county and
how' many postoffices and star routes
may bo displaced by the rural service.
Of course the principal offices will be
retained for the money order facilities
and as the distributing points for the
rural letter carriers.
“While we have made no practical
test covering a full county we are satis
fied from carefully prepared estimates
that the cost of the rural free delivery
service in fairly well populated dis
tricts will not exceed the amount saved
by the discontinuance of fourth class
postoffices, star routes and messenger
service. The test will hardly be estab
lished in time to include an account of
it in the annual report of the postmas
ter general, to be issued in November
next. However, it may form the subject
of a special report to be submitted to
congress by the postmaster general later
in the session. ” —Cor. New York World.
LOCATE SOUTHERN GRAVES.
President McKinley to Place Them
Under Federal Care.
Atlanta, Dio 81. —President McKin
ley, it appears, has begun preparations
for a practical application of the senti
ments expressed in his now famous ad
dress before the Georgia legislature dur
ing his recent visit to Atlanta.
A request is said to have been sent to
the governors of the various states ask
ing them to inform the war records
office of the location of the various cem
eteries in which confederate soldiers are
buried. This is the first step iu the de
velopment of the idea of placing the
confederate graves under the care of the
national government.
A communication seeking to ascertain
the location of the confederate cemeter
ies in Georgia has been received by As
sistant Adjutant General Obear. The
request comes from General Marcus W.
Wright, agent of the war records office.
The request has not yet been placed
in the hands of Governor Candler, but
when presented to him it will be acted
upon at an early date and the depart
ment will lie given information concern
ing the grave of every confederate sol
dier who is buried in Georgia.
From the communication which was
received by Colonel Obear it appears
that a similar request has been sent to
the governor of each southern state.
ACCUSED OF INCENDIARISM.

The Appalling War Debt, From Which
Plutocracy Waxes Fat "While the Peo
ple Groan In Despair—A Shadowy, Sharp
Sword in a Sinewy Hand.
[John Clark Ridpath in January Arena,]
Debt is the only begotten and dearly
beloved son of war; the offspring is
more dangerous and more cruel than the
progenitor.
Tne total bonded indebtedness arising
out of civil and international conflicts
—eating away day and night at the
vitals of the great leading powers of the
world—is already about $20,000,000,-
000. Reflect for an hour upon the ap
palling aggregate; consider the pressure
of this intolerable incubus; try to esti
mate the horror of this hell; weigh the
woe and anguish of them who rest un
der it, and then—despair and die.
Twenty thousand millions of dollars!
Statesmen, philanthropists, philoso
phers, preachers, journalists, mouth
pieces of civilization, one and all of
you, how do you like the exhibit? Does
it not suffice? Who is going to pay the
account? The people. Who, without
lifting a hand or turning in their downy
beds, will gather this infamous harvest
during all the twentieth century? The
plutocracy.
It has been the immemorial policy of
the money power to foment wars among
the nations, to edge on the conflict un
til both parties pass under the shadow
of impending bankruptcy, to buy up
the prodigious debt of Loth with a pail
ful of gold, to raise the debt to par, to
invent patriotic proclamations for pre
serving the national honor, and finally
to hire the presses and pulpits of two
continents to glorify the crime.
And now comes a marvelous revolu
tion. The war debt gamblers of the
world have suddenly and silently
changed their game. They are nu longer
the fomenters of war. Each aud several
they have turned about and become the
champions of order and pacification.

One Man Buy* Good* and the Other At

Away back in war times T. J. Lock*
wood went to the front. He was a good
soldier until ho lpst his sight. A rifle
ball put out one eye, and the shock and
concussion so affected the other that it
was destroyed. Totally blind, Mr. Lock-
W'ood came back to his old home and for
a time was discouraged. Then he decid
ed that there were tilings that he could
do to earn a livelihood. Ho set up a
store and dealt in men’s merchandise
in Buda, Ills.
The man who was the buyer for Mr.
Lockwood was and is J. Oechsley. He
worked for Mr. Lockwood for many
years and was one of the most impor
tant of his employees. But one day
misfortune came to him. Oddly enough,
it struck at his eyes. He was laid low
with a nervous affliction, and when he
was able to be told of it the doctors an
aounced to him that he was to go
through life in the same condition at
his employer. His sight was gone and
never would be restored.
In the hour of liis most trying experi
ence his old employer came to him, and
the men went to the old store. Mr.
Oechsley knew the place by heart He
found that he could tell as of old the
difference that lie in materials.
His whole energy was thrown into
the work he had put himself to do, and
In a short time it was found that as a
buyer .of good# he was almost as good as
before the calamity overtook him.. -'
