Substitute Carriers Required to Deliv-
er Packages Today, Sunday and
Monday—~A Big Foreign Mon-
ey-Ordpr Business.
The Christmas rush has reached the
South Norwalk postoifice. For the
present the foreign money-order busi-
ness is about concluded. as money or-
ders soul. as late as this would not
reach the beneficiaries by Christmas.
An unusually large money-order busi-
ness has been done at the local of
fire. This may be considered a fair
indication of the business condition of
the city.
Now that the foreign moneyor‘der
business is out of the way. the office
shows evidences of staggering under
the greatly increased weight of mail-
bags. The outgoing malls have been
very heavy for several days. Today.
Sunday and Monday will find the office
burdened with packages for delivery
to our people. Anticipating this rush,
the Washington authorities have ar-
lowed Postmaster Crowe's request for
the services of two substitute carriers.
This will. it is hoped, enable mail mat
ter to be promptly deliver-ed.
.Tilo Christmas rush is also on at the
Norwalk postofficc, and is heavier this
year than ever before. The Christmas
package mall began earlier this year
thrill usual. For the past two nights
there have been nine sucks in addition
to thosc gotten off during the day. The
foreign and domestic money-order bus-
lrress is exceedingly heavy. The Christ.
mas rush for the letter carriers began
this morning. but the loads were prob-
ably but half as heavy as they will be
on Monday. when the carriers will
have the accumlated mail of Sunday to
handle.

TESTING "'TlBlSllll SlilliE”
Surgeon Bannister Says it Could not
Have Caused Death Two Years Af~
ter Taking—Adjournment Un-
til Wednesday.
\VEST'I’OIN'I‘, N. Y.. December 22—,
The Military Court of inquiry which
began here hurt Tuesday. regarding the.
charges of alleged brutal hazing at the
Military Academy. will adjourn at
noon. to reconvene on Wednesday of
next week, and it is probale that the
remainder of the week will be taken
up in getting all the available evidence
on record. At yesterday‘s session. one
of the cadets. W. R. Bettison. of Ken-
tucky. when testifying to his luterfcr
once with Booz. when the latter. while
on sentry duty. was not patrolling his
post to Bettlson‘s liking, was told by
General Brooke that he. had no right
to interfere with a soldier on guard,
and Bettisou acknowledged that he
find violated the military regulations
in doing so.
This was the first and only instance
since the beginnlg of the investigation
that the court had spoken to a witness.
and the severity of the general's re-
'1ukc was emphasized by the manner
in which it was uttered.
Today the court continued the ex-
amination of the cadets of the first
class. These are the men who bazed
Booz's classmates. but none of them
who have testified so far has acknowl-
edged that any brutal hazing occurred
I11 l898.
(‘adet Clarence O. Sherrim. of North
Carolina, was the first witness called.
lie knew Booz only slightly; had never
irazcd him. but he might have braced
other men of the fourth class. and tak-
on part in "feet Inspections.”
He denied ever having given tobasco
or pepper sauce to Booz or any other
cadet.
Major John M. Bannister, surgeon.
U. S. A.. was recalled and told of his
testing the effects of partaking of four
drops of tropical pepper sauce. such
as is used in the cadets mess hall
He said he tried It last night by drop-
ping four drops of the sauce on the
palm of his hand, and taking it up with
his tongue. and swallowing it. His
throat. he said. was very susceptible to
an irritation. but he felt no ill effect
from the dose. Two young ladies who
were present when he made the test.
in a spirit of fun, did likewise. and
they too found no difficulty in swallow-
ing the same quantity.
In reply to General Clous. the wit-
ness said: “I positively swear that
the taking of this souce could not dir-
ectly or Indirectly have caused tuber-
culosls- of the throat. or In any way
be the cause of the death of Cadet
Booz two years after his partaking of
it."
Cadet John H. Poole, of Michigan.
swore that he never bazed Boon. He
knew Boon. who was a member of his
own class in 1897.
“Did you see Boos based?"
"No. sir. but i heard he was 'exer-
clsod' countdorably.”
“What are the relations of the up-
per classmen to the fourth classmon I"
“With the exception of exercising
which has. been abolished, it is about
the same as usual. We require them
to do special work about our tents.
cleaning guns, making 11p beds. and so
forth."
, “Have you heard of any fights since
last encampment?"
