C Letter car-Tiers,-if they desire to wear shirt -waists, must wear also dark ties and neat belts. This has been determined officially by the Postoffice Depart ment. A few days ao Postmaster-Gen-eral Meyer received a letter from a mail carrier suggesting that the postal regulations state that carriers, when wearing shirt waists, must wear dark ties. He then continued: "I desire very much to know whether the wearing of ties is com pulsory for a member of a religious sect that does not allow its members to wear ties at all. Does not the Constitution of the United States in sure religious freedom to every legal citizen?" , Postmaster-General Meyer, reply ing to the communication, said: . "Under the r-ostal regulations if a letter carrier wishes to wear a shirt waist he must also wear a turn-down collar with a 4 dark tie and a neat belt." FISHED WITH HOXEY FOR AST IX THROAT. Shrewsbury,. Mass. An ant almost caused the death of Edgar Smith, of Shrewsbury. Smith is an athlet j and takes long walks, carrying hi-s lunch with him. An ant dropped on a sandwich he was eating and lodged half way down his throat, clinging to the membrane by its mandibles. Two Shrewsbury physicians were' unable to release its hold, and Smith was being tickled to death when taken to Worcester. A waxed thread with honey on it was worked down Smith's. throat by a doctor and the ant finally seized lr and was pulled out. . . - BURIED FRENCH WOMAN "RESCUED TOO LATE. ' Paris.

The following Monday a man who was passing the grave heard stifled cries proceeding from it, and ran to the house of the Mayor ,to give in formation. The Mayor summoned a doctor and hurried off with him to the cemetery. When the coffin was opened the wom an inside made a convulsive effort to rise. The doctor put his arms around her and raised her to a sitting posi tion. Her heart was still beating. but she died shortly afterward. Th3 woman had torn her shroud to pieces in her desperate efforts to escape from her living tomb. MISER SPENDS $30,000 IN FEAR OF BEING SLAIN. Pulaski, Tenn. Stricken with the fear that he would be murdered for his money, Willis Smith, eighty-four years old, has flooded the country with $30,000 in quarters- and half dollars, which he has been hiding in fruit jars for many Tears. The money was coined two genera tions -ago, but' Is. not worn. Many years ago Smifh put some money in a bank and the cashier at once paid it out on a check. Smith saw this and withdrew hia money, saying he would not do business with a concern that would not keep his money "better than that." .-"-." 3 GIRLS ON STRIKE FOR LARGER DOWRY. Paris. -The most curious strike in France is on ia the suburb of Granges-le-RoI, near Paris, where the girls are "out" demanding a larger marriage dowry for the annually elected "Roslere," or Queen of the Rose. The" "Rosiere' is chosen from among the industrious unmarried women under twenty-five, and the lucky eirl receives from the com munity $50. Six girls elected in succession this vear declined to serve, saying the sum was too small. London. Rjchard Croker's Orby, ridden by "Johnny" Rciff, an Ameri can jockey, won the Derby Stakes, of 6500 sovereigns,' at Epeom, distance about one mile and a half. Wool Winder, . ridden by Madden, an English jock"ey, was secondhand Slieve Gallion, an Irish horse, ridden by .- Higgs, N an English Jockey, was third. . -Orby was bred in Ireland out of an American dam, and thus the Derby has been won by at American owner, whose horse was ridden by an Ameri can jockey nnd whose mount was out of en American mare. Nine horses started. The betting wps 100 to "!T-against Orbv and WrwH Winder and IS to 8 on SHeve GallioiO . Orby won bv two lengths.. The en thusiasm of the Americans wn bf easier Imagined tb.n described, and Mr. Croker. his white bearded face beaming with hawdness, was con gratulated on all s'des. Outside. of Mr. Croker and his im mediate entourage Orbv had but few friends, and the betting Indicated that the Sporting pronhets estimated his chances as bing slipht. Mr. Cro ker and those who watched the colt's trials, however, were sanguine that they held a surprise in store for the Derby crowds. Much of the customary gayety and nicturesqueness were lacking in the jam Mar Derby Dav scenes on the road to Epsom. Torrents of ram poured down up to 10 o'clock and the muddy, dismal procession bouna to the downs looked uncommonly "like the return of the procession after the downfall of the favorite. Scores of special trains, however, took enormous crowds to Epsom. King Edward elected to travel by train.. The royal party Included the Prince and . Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the Grand Duke Michael of Russia. Orby met with a mixed reception on returning to tho scale. The vast majority of. the crowd had lost money, in many cases huge sums. The hundreds of Americans present. however, gave the ex-Tammany chief and his horse a rousing reception. Aside from the enormous prestige of winning the blue ribbon of the turf Mr. Croker made a fortune. In the first place, the stakes, 6500 sov ereigns, or $32,500, Is no Inconsider able sum, then he had the opportu-i nity of making any number of bets at about 10 to 1, and, finally, -the value of Orby ha3 increased to such an extent that Mr. Croker may, If he so desires, sell him foran immense sum. Of course it Is impossible to form an exact estimate of. the finan cial fruits of Mr. Croker's triumph, but, one way and the other, they were placed at about $250,000. Richard Croker has epjoyea one oi the most fantastic revolutions of the whirligig of time. Driven out of Eng lish racing through the rulings of the Jockey Club, and retiring in disgust to Dublin, he has returned to win the blue ribbon of the turf. This is glory enough for a Tammany statesman out of business, whether he attends tne King's dinner for the melancholy Jockey Club at Buckingham Palace or stays away in isolated grandeur. It wa not a popular victory. The crowds were cold and cheered only languidly, from stress of excitement. They were silent and resentful when Mr. Croker, with a ' beaming smile, led in his horse.

CURES WD7E'S INSOMNIA BY STAGE DEVICE. Cleveland, Ohio. James Benham, a grocer, has cured his wife of ner vousness and insomnia by a stage device. f He saw in a medical journal that the patter of raindrops on the vroof would cure sleeplessness.

When darkness came he sent his son out with the garden hose and urged - his wife to go to bed, saying it looked like rain Soon the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning were followed by the patter of raindrops on the roof, and in a few minutes Mrs. Benham was asleep. Benham- says the trick has worked a complete cure. Friendly Act, Cost Him His Life.
