POSTAL REGULATIONS.
Instructions on Pensioners’ Letters
And Delivery of Registered Mail.
Recent numbers of the United States
Official Postal Guide contain orders
which will be enforced to the letter by
the postal authorities.
Pension agents have been instructed
in reference to sending checks vouch-
ers and certificates to pensioners in
the care of other persons. A circular
letter from Pension Commissioner
Evans says: "It has come to my at-
tention that in certain instances
checks vouchers and certificates are
being mailed to pensioners in care of
attorneys. Mail from the United
States pension agencies can not be de-
livered to parties in whose care it may
be addressed and to aid the postal au-
thorities in the proper delivery of mail
for pensioners you are requested to see
that no mall from your office to a pen-
sioner is addressed in care of another
person. Letters addressed to a pen-
sioner from the office of any United
States pension agent must be deliver-
ed only to the pensioner or to a mem-
ber of his family specially authorized
by him to receive them. They must
not be delivered to any person in whose
care they may be addressed. Under no
circumstances must the. letters of pen-
sioners be delivered to any attorney
claim agent broker or any other per-
son except as stated as above.”
The other order signed by Third As-
sistant Postmaster General John A.
Merritt refers to the "proper delivery
of registered mail” and is as follows:
"The attention of postmasters is here-
by called to the rule laid down in sec-
tion 1113 of the postal regulations that
registered matter must in no
case be delivered to anyone
but the person addressed
which must be verified and filed In the
postoffice as a voucher. No matter
what the relationship ot a person ap-
plying for a registered letter may be to
the addressee this rule must be adher-
ed to. The sender of registered mat-
ter has the right to restrict its delivery
to the addressee in person by an in-
dorsment to that effegt upon the envel-
ope or wrapper; and in that case de-
livery must be made to no other per-
son not even upon the addressee’s or-
der."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube getslinflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused'by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deaf netslicensed by catarrh) that can-
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free.

CUT WITH A RAZOR.
Three Colored Damsels Fight Over a
Coveted Man.
The prize drill and dance of the Ex-
celsior Guards m convention hall last
night went off quietly with the excep-
tion of a little razzer play by one of
the female attendants.
Stella Hill Celia Coleman and Lillie
Hill were three damsels who attended
and during the course of the evening
Stella and Celia became jealous of the
attention of one of the gay young mil-
itiamen to Lillie and lost no time in
informing her of their jealousy warn-
ing her to cease receiving his courte-
sies.
Lillie however who liked the young
man in blue did not cease and that is
what created the disturbance and gave
Police Officer Shelburn a chance to
make twb arrests.
About 12 o’clock the hatred of the
two jealous damsels had been aroused
to such a pitch that they decided to
make a vicious onslaught upon the
favored Lillie. They did as they had
resolved and when the fracas had end-
ed Lillie had a gash in the left side of
her neck a razor was lying on the
floor and Celia and Stella were victor-
ious in the fight if not in the contest
of love.
Officer J. M. Shelburn arrested Celia
and Stella and placed them in the city
jail and had Lillie sent to her home
where she is today.
She is not seriously injured but was
unable to be in court this morning to
prosecute her assaulters and Record-
er Lewis continued the cases.
