Washington, D. C., Dec. 12. Regulations to cover workings of the new parcels post system which is to go into operation Jan uary 1 next, were made public by. Postmaster General Hitchcock to-day. The new system will be effective throughout the entire postal service at the same time and will effect every postoffice, city, rural and railway mail trans portation route in the country. Every precaution will be taken by the postoffice department to have the mails moved with the! usual dispatch and all postmas ters, superintendents and inspec tors have been directed to thor oughly familiarize themselves and their subordinates with every phase of the new system. The regulations provide that parcels of merchandise including farm and factory products (but not books and printed matter) of almost every description up to eleven poinds in weight and measuring as much as six feet in v length and girth combined, ex cept those calculated to do injury to the mails in transit, may be mailed at any postoffice for de livery to any address in the coun try. Delivery will be made to the homes of people living on rural and star routes as well as those living in cities and towns where there is delivery by carrier. Where there is at present no delivery carrier the parcels will go to the postoffice as is the case with or dinary mail. The postage rate for the zone—that is, within dis tances not exceeding fifty miles, will be five cents for the first pound and three cents for each additional pound. Rates increase for each succcessive one of the eight zones into which the coun try is divided, the maximum rate being 12 cents a pound, which will carry a parcel across the continent, or even to Alaska and the Phillipines. For a fee of ten cents a parcel i may be insured and if the parcel is lost in the mails an indemnity to the amount of its value not t< exceed SSO will be paid to the | sender. The law provides for the use of distinctive postage stamps and ' there is now being distributed to | postmasters for use in the par cels post system a set of stamps of twelve denominations. Parcels! post maps with accompanying! guides are to be sold to the pub lic at their cost,7s cents, through the chief clerk of the postoffice department. | Salesman Wanted.

ONIONS OVERCOME HEROES Could Fight Fire, but Onions Floored T hem. Chigago—Onions were cooked by the ton when a three-story warehouse filled with them caught fire and blazed up rapidly I a few doors from a hospital last; night. The hospital officials re-, quested the firemen not to sound their gongs or make unnecessary noises and the fire chiefs com- 1 municated with their lieutenants] by signs and sent notes to the] 1 pipemen. The silent fire fight was foiled, j however, by the powerful odor; of the cooking onions which per vaded the entire district within a half mile radius. Several fire ' mien were overcome by smoke and one pipe crew after another was put out of action by the tear compelling power of the raw on-' ions on the lower floors. The Beggar. Capt. Bush Lumsden says: “This is the season for the pro fessional beggar. They migrate I South during the winter like the birds. A few days ago two men in a one-horse wagon drove up to my house. I was absent. One remained in the wagon. The other, a hale, hearty man pulled out a type-written petition for aid. My wife replied, as she stood at the gate, ‘You are strong i and healthy and can work,’ ‘I am the cripple, ’ shouted the one 1 in the wagon. Now, such should not be allowed. Every one is willing to help the sure-enough needy. But here was “beggary’ traveling on wheels, going the rounds in the country to dupe the unsuspecting. There should be some law to protect the charitably inclined from imposters and pro fessional beggars, who live by graft and imposing on the credul ity of farmers’ wives.”—James Calloway in Macon Telegraph.
