1IE.WY DEMAND ON THE
POSTOFF1CE DEPARTMENT.
V:k iisI.iii of Rural Route Causes
Faiornious Expenses Free Delivery
tn Cliiiw Will Increase tlio Drain
Upon the Revenues.
Whi-a Representative Ovcrmreel of
Indiana iasscJ through Washington
City recently, ho was quite emphatic
as to the necessity of raising more
revenue for the postofflce "from some
quarter," Is u report that comes from
the national capital.
As chairman of the committee on
poeti'fftces, he is familiar with the
fact that the larse deficit In tho rev
enues of that department Is almost
wholly duo to the enormous Increase
in rural free delivery, but whether to
check such expenditures Is wise from
a political standpoint Is a question
which he and his colleagues are like
ly to decide In the negative.
Trrhnps the most Interesting phase
of this question Is how long arc tha
small towns going to submit to seeing
mail carriers pass their doors dallv to
deliver un occasional letter to a for
mer 20 miles away, while thev aro
compelled to walk to the postofflce
which may be a mile awav.
There is neor Washington a town of
more than 1500 Inhabitants to whom
one carrier In a wagon could deliver
the mall twice a day, yet three or (our
rural carriers pass through each day,
delivering all around the outskirts of
the town, and there are no deliveries
within its limits.
When towns from 600 to 10.000 be
gin demanding free delivery, not only
will Mr. Ovcrstreet's difficulties be In
creased, but many members will find
it difficult to compel the patrons of
the office to go for their mall merely
to maintain a political friend In a
postmastcrshlp.
THE APPLE CHOP IN EUROPE.
Statement of a Fnilt Brokerage Firm
At Liverpool-Fall Apples Scarce.
James Adam, Sun & Co., of Liver
pool, fruit brokers, have issued their
"prospective report" regarding apple
conditions on the other side of the
Atlantic, as follows,,:
In former years we have always
delayed the Issue vof this report until
our views as to the crop prospects In
this country were confirmed by the
comprehensive figures published In
the Gardeners' Chronicle. This year,
however, the opinion us to the posi
tion of things is so general, that we
take this early opportunity of com
municating to our friends the Indica
tions for the coming season, as view
ed from present aspects.
There is no doubt that throughout
(his country apples will be a short
crop, as vwtns to the Kite frosts the
fruit set very badly Indeed, while, In
addition to this, much of what did set
has fallen, owing to the dry weather
since experienced. Of course some or
ehards that are In any way sheltered
may have a fair show of fruit, but
taxing tne growing districts as a
wh6t, nfyorW certainly Indicate .1
short Bupply.
Similar reports come from the prin
cipal fruit sections on the continent:
5ermany promises to have a very
light crop, while in Holland and Bel
gium the yield is said to be much be
low the average. To these sources of
supply, however, we need not attach
much Importance, as the appreciation
fit American and Canadian varieties
Is such that when they make their ap
pearance preference Is at once shown
for them. It appears, therefore, that
our markets will he open for supplies
much earlier than usual, in fact: it
would seem as If fall apples would be
wanted In quantity this season, espec
ially the better .Mid more attractive
sorts.
As regards winters, we cannot help
hut take a favorable view, us tin gen
eral condition of trads H mu 'h '.etter
than it has been, especially in Lanca
'shire, where the cotton Industry Is
particularly brisk, and for this rea
son our own market, at any rate, Is
likely to offer a ready outlet for fruit
of choice quality.
We cannot, however, impress upon
shippers too forcibly the advisability
of careful grading and packing, as
these are very important factors if
good results are to be obtained. Many
Mhlppers, unfortunately, seem to over
look the fact that the charges for
f-oriveyanee, etc., are the same on poor
as on good fruit, and often send for
ward Inferior sto.-k, which ought to
lie kept at home, with the result that
business is disappointing and unre
niunerative to them."

Diamonds are used quite extensively
is illes for drawing wire of tho small
est sizes for instance, the sizes less
than, say, twenty-Bye oite-thousnmlths
of nn inch diameter.
Tlio hardest steel dies are not suitable
for tills work for the reason that the
wear upon thorn so enlarges the die
that the diameter of the wire Is not uni
form within the required percentage of
variation nt the beginning and end of
t drawing. Sapphires aro used some
times for Oils work. Copper, silver and
platinum are the metals usually drawn
to the very suinll sizes.
With diamond dies It Is practicable
to draw platinum to a diameter of five
ton-thousandths of nn inch. An idea
of the fineness of a copper wire drawn
to only three one-thousandths of nn
Inch in diameter mny be gathered from
the fact that in one pound of the metal
there are over six miles of such wire.
The weight of the diamonds used for
this work Is from four to five carats,
and they are uncut except as to the tile.
The value of these tiles, which, of
course, are not of the first water, va

GEOMETRY IN BATTLE.
How MnrlboroDCh Won Hli Great
Victory at Ramlllles.
The genius of Marlborough seized up
on the simple fact Unit the arc Is great
er than Its chord when he won his
great victory at Uamllllcs. The French
army under Vlllerol was posted In an
arc on a ridge of hills. Their left ex
tended to the village of Autre F.gllse
and owing to the steepness of the hills
and the river and marsh In front was
In an almost Impregnable position.
Their forces swept round on the top of
the ridge till they reached on the ex
treme right a height behlud the village
of Rnmlllies known as the Tomb of Ot-
tnmond.
Marlborongb saw that this height was
the key to the position. lie first made
a vigorous feint on Autre Eglise and
so caused the French generals to hurry
In person to that point. Then he moved
largo bodies of troops rapidly and se
cretly along the chord of the arc and
carried the position on the French right
before Vlllerol had time to bring up re-
enforcements by the longer line of the
curve.
This Is easily understood when It la
remembered that the chord of an arc la
a straight line joining the extremities
of an arc or two points In a curve.

of the blood, and as it flows through the body deposits a gritty, irritating substance
or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terri

leaving them helpless invalids and nervous wrecks.
i When neglected or improperly treated, Rheuma
tism becomes chronic, the pains are . wandering or
shifting from one place to another, sometimes sharp
and cutting, again dull and aggravating. The mus
cles of the neck, shoulders and back, the joints of the knees, ankles and wrists, are
most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments and plasters are applied , to get relief,
but such things do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are
neither curative nor preventive. The blood must be purified, and all irritating matter re
moved from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no

Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic stage, the treatment must be
internal, deep and thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less
than an absolutely perfect cure. This you can get by the use of S. S. S., the oldest
and best purifier and greatest of all tonics.

Officers nt Sun Francisco Are Under
Arrest
An extensive attempt to officer
American ships with foreigners who
too suddenly secured naturalization
papers has been frustrated here, says
a Sun Francisco dispatch. After two
weeks of investigation, Special Treas
ury Agent Richard H. Taylor has
placed nine of the alleged members
of the ring In Jail.
The men In the suppositious get-naturallzed-qulck
scheme, who have
been arrested are: Frank Johnson,
well known politician; Oustav
Holmgren, a water front saloonkeep
er; Herman Von Busse, a petty offi

steamer Nevadan; Paul Ruppmund,
master-at-arms on the revenue cut

prietor of a sailors' hoarding house;
Ernest Oraessler and Frank A. Wlrt

witness.
The so-called ring has been active
for the past 11 months, according to
the United States authorities who have
been engaged In routing out the
scheme. There was "big money" In
It; citizen's papers being quoted on
the water front exchanges at 160
each, and there were many takers.
The 160 would go to the leaden of
the ring. These men, or others, des
