It may not be generally known that it is against the postal laws and punishable by fine to enclose a written note in a newspaper or package of merchandise and mail it without payiug letter rates on the whole. The law is that when an article of the first class (letters and written matter) is enclosed along with an article of the third class (printed matter) or of the fourth class (merchandise) the whole becomes liable to pay the first class (letter) rate it is also against the law to write anything on the outside wrapper, or package, of third or fourth class mail matter, not legitimately a part of the address of the sender, or person addressed.

"Please or "please deliver written or printed or other like messages are not permissible except on articles paid at first class rates. If you have a pair of gloves, a newspaper and a letter to send by mail, send them separately as each is entitled to pay a different rate; otherwise you will violate the law and may get into trouble besides. Law Relating to Nursery Stock. As the shipping season is now approaching we desire to call the attention of the general public, and especially the agents of transportation companies, to the law governing the receipt of nursery stock.

Townsend, State Pathologist. College Park, Oct. 15th, 1900. OASTOnTxA. Boam th The Vou Ha A Always Bought Reuben Whitmore Once More.

Reuben Whitmore, the hermit, who lives along the banks of Fishing Creek, some distance above Lewistown, this county, and who about three years ago was released from Monteyue Hospital, near Frederick, after having been arrested and sent there because of his peculiar habits and filthy appearance was again committed to Monteyue Tuesday of last week, by Justice Baker of Lewistown Whitmore, who lives alone in a miserable shanty, while up in a chestnut tree on Monday threshing down the nuts, fell about 30 feet to the ground and was afterwards found in an unconscious condition. His collar bone was broken and he required attention, but owing to his filthy way of living the neighbors did not want him around their homes and did not care to go to his own dirty hovel, so they had him sent to Montevuc. China Relief Expedition, Peking, Aug. 28. Dear Mamma Communication between this city and Telnlsiu not open yet but ns the 14th will start a wagon train down in a few days, surely get this some time between this and Xmas.

To begin with, to tell you much of what gone through since we left Telutsin on Aug. 5 is more than I cau do in this letter, for am pretty well broken up, as is every man who made that terrible march. We understood before starting that we would haye about 80 miles of road to get over, instea of which were more than 120 miles of hot, dusty cornfields, often without food or water for a day at a lime. Our outfit carried (each muu) his haversack with mess-kit, canteen, blanket roll, rifle and belt with 100 rounds, and the sun was hotter than in the sometimes it would be midnight until we got into camp, and then would often have to start again at 4. Mm, horses, Chinese coolies who were working with the armies, dropped out by the hundreds daily, many dying alter a few suffering, others left with minds affected for life.

There were 20,000 men in the column with the Japs leading, Russia second, United Slates third, then England with France and Germany bringing up the rear, and all were determined to resell Pekin as soon as possible, which we did allright Imt in a dilapidated condition. Had several fights on the way up and on the 11th night out we camped outside the walls of the Tartar city and on the next morning entered the city and had our last fight with the Imperial troops, and it was a nice one, 100. battery, supported by our six companies of marines, look a position on the cuter wall of the imperial city, while the 9th and 14th stood by In the court below ready to charge when the lime came, and os the Chinese were on the Inner wall, only 750 yards from us, lor a few hours there was a hot close-range fire. They made a desperate stand but bad to give in, though I don't tbiuk there were many left to retreat. Riley was killed there, the only man hit out of all that were on the wall.

He was well liked by bis men and what they did with their 5 big guns to the Chinos after that was grand to see. All the fights put together since Tcintsin would not equal that battle, and I think all expected a harder flcht here. Well, I will try to tell a little of the city, as miserable a hole as can be found anywhere. We passed through many cities coming up and we actually bad a dread when coming to one, for with their one story mud houses, narrow streets, dead and half starved children lying in ttieguttcrs with hogs, but when we came into Ibis city we expected something different and instead we struck something worse. No such thing as a pavement is known and hogs have made big holes in the streets in which they roll and raise a stench all day.

These people won't even bury their own dead and up to a few days ago a fellow had to stop breathing pretty often. These people are great for having dogs and they eat up the "stiffs," and it was a common sight to see a big dog come running down the street with the front or hind quarter of some heathen. But people now send out a crowd of coolies each day under guard to bury all dead aud the American Section is in pretty good shape. About every tenth house In this city is a Joss House with a dozen or more wooden images, and chief delight is to get in there with a good, heavy rlub and start in, and many a one put on the hum. It is surely time same country got hold of this and tried at least to civilize it, though the best way to do it would be to kill all of them.

The women are ignorant slaves, most of them with their feet squeezed into a till of flesh about or 3 inches long, and all they eat is rice with grease ou it three limes a day, not half as clean us the P. I. women nor half as enlightened. A conference was held in the Sacred City yesterday between the different generals and the Empress's representatives, and we think the fighting is over. At least wc know it is for us, that is, the 14th and 9th and us, and we expect to be relieved by fresh troops and sent cither home or to the P.

1. The two army regiments are to be sent homo for neither lias half its strength, and we think that in a month or so we will he sent to Cavite and from there home shortly after. Our clothing is all down there, nearly 3000 miles from here, and we are not preparer! for such winters as they have in this country. I know every man of us is heartily sick of China and war and would be only too glad to go hack to Cavite, where there is at least a restaurant or two to go to when a fellow gels hungry. The marine corps is not equipped for field duly, haying no wagon trains, and even now we get only i ration, which Is not enough for a sick man.

But we do little complaining, knowing well that this was an exceptional case aud that wc had to get hero to rescue our people, and a cablegram from the President read to us last night put new life into us. I am awful anxious to get some papers from the Slates and if you kept sending them to my old address in Cavite, I will get them some time. I certainly have many things to tell you, and wlu-n I get hack 1 will try lor 80 days off and talk to you all about war and troops of different countries until wish I was back In China. I tbiuk I could go into any part of the world now and feel perfectly at not at home, but at esse, for there is any old soldier here from Algiers to the i Turks of Northern India, a little, bow legged fellow about 4 feet high. The Japs, on the way up, being in the lead, would run across many foolish Boxers who seemed to think they could whip the expidi tion; and they'would simply chop their heads off and hang them up along the road.

But the Chinese were more cruel, for 1 saw one Japanese soldier who had fallen into their hands some way, who had his tungua cut out, both eyelids cut off and then his eyes filltd with red pepper and bound up, so no wonder the Jap shows no mercy. 1 suppose they have lost over a thousand men in this fight, Russia also losing heavily, and I would like to see those two countries get hold of this country for the U. S. surely has enough to care for now. Have been sleeping in the open as no building is fit to put men in, and about a week or so ago it rained hard all night and floating around in three inches of mud and water gave me somet-iing like climatic fever, now about gone but which has left me awful weak, so you will understand why I can't write a better letter.

Took medicine several times but go on the sick list; was really unfit for duty, but so many are worse that I determined to pull through it, and think 1 have succeeded. I think if we go back to Teintsin shortly 1 will write from there and give you a belter description of battles, country generally, so please don't let anyone sec this. Several newspaper men came up with us, one from the Baltimore and as they were at the front in every fight they can do the subject more credit than my poor quinine -racked brain, go through again what I have for 50 thousand and would not have missed it for 100 thousand, now that it's nearly over, so you see all right yet. have a discharge with all kinds of wars and battles on yet before my lime is through, something I be ashamed to show. Well, mamma, must close and hustle the rest of the day for an envelope.

Moping that I'll soon be able to sec you all, and that you and all are well, 1 am Your Son, Addicss Cavite, C. H. same as always. the kindly permission of Mrs. E.
