A rabbi, of Wabash, Ind., offers to sell to the Postoffice Department a discovery by which he claims the mails can be carried across the Atlantic in two days. This beats the Jews.
A Cleveland man who would not support his children was arraigned in court by a humane agent and fined $100 and costs and given ninety days. His sentence will keep him in the work house for eighteen months—a good place for a man who will not work outside.
W. H. Lynn announces as candidate for Assessor of Hopkins county subject to the decision of the Republican party in convention at Madisonville Monday, July 29. Mr. Lynn is thus far the only candidate to announce his candidacy publicly.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa., relative to the strike of the stationary firemen says:
More mines were in operation and more coal was hoisted in the Wyoming valley today than any day since the stationary fireman’s strike began. Despite any action that may be taken by the officers of the United Mine Workers’ association, the fact cannot be denied but that the United Workmen as a body are anxious to get back to work. How long they can be kept out by the executive heads is entirely problematical.
History is repeating itself in the matter of union dictation to men who would work if they were not interfered with.
