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. A Prominent Gadsden Mun In Jail Charged With Arson. Gadsden, Ala., Dec. 31.—J. K. P.

SHYLOCK AND WAR. WHY THE MONEY KING HAS JOINEU THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. 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.

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.. -' Chicago Times Herald
