Cubans Abuse the Privilege.
and Lassen Receipts.
QUESEDA FOR SPECIAL COMMISSIONER l
The Appointment Gives Satisfaction "
to the Majority, but the Late Mili-
tary Assembly ,Calls It an Insult.
Continued Payment of Troops.
HAVANA, June 8.——Major Rathbone,
(the director of posts, has discovered an
immense abuse of the franking privilege.
Every official in the island owns one.
There are about 300 names in all who
are using the frank for personal commu-
nications and those Of friends. The let-
ters of alcaldes and police captains in the
various villages are sent under franks in
envelopes, inclosing franked envelopes
for replies. The postmasters have been
.ordered to keep a strict record of the
franked mails handled for a'week and to
estimate the revenue lost in this way.
Many parties have been arrested in
Matanzas for reusing stamps, and among
them are several prominent merchants.
The Spanish law provides for only a
small fine in such cases unless the ofiense
is frequently committed. and consequent-v
ly there has been no let up in the prac-
tice under the new regime. Major Rath-
bone, however, has in hand a draft post-
al penal code for Cuba similar to that in
force in the United States, and as soon
as General Brooke has given his approv-
al this will go into effect.
Governor General Brooke has issued
orders appointing Senor Gonzales dc
Quescda special commissioner "for Cuba
at XVashington, with a salary of $5,000.
Those who believe that the policy fol-
lowed by General Gomez is a wise one—
and they include a majority of the most
prominent Cubans in Havana—arc much
pleased with this appointment, consider-
ing it a just__rcward of years of faithful
service. On the other hand, the former
members of the military assembly and
those who always oppose everything the
government does complain bitterly, say-
ing that the appointment is an intention-1
al insult, on the ground, as they allege,
that Senor de QLIOS§QEL is g traitgr to the
real interests of the island, Ivhich will
not 91151}? in his hands. They assert
also that he is an American in his ideas,

Cuba. , ..
At a meeting of Havana merchants
yesterday the project of ColleCtor Bliss
to improve the Havana warehouses ac-
cording to plans designed by Mr. Sylves-
ter Scovel wasunanimously approved.
Collector Bliss had expected some op-
pgsition. He had thought the merchants
might side with the lighter men, fearing
the subsequent building of docks. On
the contrary, the merchants announced
their intention of fighting the lighters
and asked the collector to include docks
in the total estimate, which will be more
than $2,000,000. ,
Lieutenant Colonel Bisbce paid 224 in-
surgents Tuesday at Consolacion. Licu-
tenant Colonel Rafierty will begin pay—
ing today. Lieutenant Colonel Randall
will be through his work on June 15, but
there will probably be additional pay
days for Havana.
Supervisor $8,000 Short.
LYONS, N. Y., June S.—-The defalca-
tion of George \V. Koestcr. deceased, as
supervisor of the town of Lyons has been
figured out by his successor, Supervisor
Thaddeus IV. Collins, to amount to $6,-
141.59 in the general fund as well as
about 32.000 in the poor, highway and
other funds, the bondsmen upon which
have, with the exception of the general
fund, settled. Supervisor Collins has
itemized the defalcatiou with dates and
has demanded repayment, with interest,
from the bondsmcn. So much confidence
had the town board in the deceased su-
pervisor that they audited his accounts
when he was short $8.000, certifying to
$7598.32 in the bunk when he had only
$22 there. '

Because it is the Exper-
ience ofa Norwalk Citi-
zen and can Readily
be Investigat-
ed.
A stranger lost in adarge city would
place tar more dependence on the di-
rections given him by a local resrdent
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience; it’s like a ship
in a strange port.a trusty pilot familiar
with the harbor is always called upon
to bring her safely to her moorings.
So it is with endorsement; we doubt
the sayings of people living at distant
points because we can’t investigate it.
but public expression of local citizens
can be depended on, for it is an easy
matter to prove it. Evidence like the
following is beyond dispute.
Mrs. Clune, of 5S Belden Ave. says:
“My daughter is an employc : at Hutch-
inson, Cole & (30., and her work has
told upon her physically the trouble
manifesting itself in the small of her
back, and a weary and tired feeling.
We thought Doan’s Kidney Pills might
help her, and I got. a box at Hale’s
drug store (now Glendening & Co’s)
they cured her. I have no hesitation
in heartily recommending them.” ‘

A mane»: SNAKE STORY.
In It a “'oman In Both Iiilled and Rev
suscitated by a. Venomous
Reptile.
American inventors of snake stories
,must look to their laurels; the edu-
lcated Bengali has entered into com-
;petition, and, judging from the sample
’given in good faith by a. native paper
at Calcutta, he will be hard to beat.
Some time back the lovely daughter of
'a. wealthy Zemindar was bitten by a
cobra and died in the course of a few
hours.
As her remains were being conveyed
to the Ganges for sepulture, a passing
patriarch of reverend mien proposed
that he should be allowed to experi-
ment with resuscitation. As he bore
a high reputation as a professor of
occult science, the sorrowing relatives
'heartily consented. The sage then ob-
tained three cOwries, and after praying
very energetically, threw the shells on
the ground. Instantly onc disnymcnred,
and the spectators were wondering
what had become of it when :1 huge
cobra burst out of the adjacent jungle,
bearing the missing cowi‘ie on its fore-
head. It must have been a humble sort
of reptile, for when ordered by the
sage to suck the wound on the dc-
ceased lady it at once complied. and
then died to save further trouble. With-
in an hour its human victim had quite
recovered, and went on merrily with
her husband and relatives, none the
worse for her little adventure, says the
London Globe. ~
“Such was the marvelous treatment,"
says the narrator, “of the peasant Moula
Bux, professor of the occult science,
which, .with the spread of the so-called
western civilization, had almost died
out of the land.” What we cannot un-
derstand is why snakes committed
more atrocities when occult science
was in its prime than under western
)civil-izat-ion. - ‘
Fight on Narro'w'Tu-éls.
There is a bill in the Massachusetts
senate to prohibit the nee of narrow-
tread wagons on the public roads of
the state, and its passage is urged by
the bicyclers and all who contend for
good roads. It is a waste of public
money, it is urged, to spend it in mak-
ing roads and then to permit the roads
to be cut up by narrow—tired wagon
wheels. A narrow-tired wagon wheel
sinks deep through the surface of a
road and makes it rough and uneven,
and the'ruts and holes prevent drain-
age and keep the road bad. It is also
contended that, although the substi-
tution of broad 'for narrow tires will
involve considerable cost, yet it will
be an economy in the diminished cost
of hauling. The broad—tread wagon
'thel, so far from injuring the roads,
acts almost as a roller, making them
smooth and compact—Baltimore Sun
