New York Herald.l
Many people in the West and South,
and even some in New England and
nearer home are at a loss to under
stand why letters and newspapers can
not be transported as rapidly as pas
sengers from New York to the places
of destination. A Western merchant,
while buying goods in New York,
subscribes to the Herald, and some.
how his papers take a day or two
longer than he did to reach
his town, although they start
ed earlier in the morning.
Some explanations Of how the
delay Of mail matter occurs will be
found on another page, and the govern
ment seems principally to blame.
Postal authorities allude TO the slow
single track roads to which trunk lines
sooner or later deliver the mail bags;
but as these imperfect roads get their
passengers through in reasonable time
why should the mails be delayed? The
only plausible reason seems TO be that

transportation for mail matter by the
fastest trains. This neglect Of mista-
ken economy should be rectided at
once. For the greatest good to the
greatest number the mails should be
carried with as great speed as any
purchaser of a railway ticket, and they
would be if Congress and the Post
Office Department did not seem
to be at loggerhcads as to the amount
Of money necessary to SUP
port the mail service. When there is
a possibility Of getting mail matter
off by train earlier than tho ordinary
the postal authorities should secure
the speedier train and pay for the SER
vice Just as an individual intent on
rapid transit would do. Congress can
have no excuse for Directing. for who
appropriated money to pay the Star
Route expenses

The grand organ Of Calvary church
is 10 course of erection and is to occupy
the southeast corner of the edi6ce, on
the same floor with and by the side Of
the altar. Mr. Henry Pitcher, OF
Louisville, arrived in the city a
couple Of days since to supervise its
erection and proper adjustment. The
acoustics Of the church are all that
can be desired. The work Of remod-
cling and Improvement progresses
slowly toward completion, and it is
possible that the church will be ready
for divine service by the close Of next
month. 1t has been decided that new
pews are to be put in instead Of those
formerly used.

Mr.. w. II. Reeds Death.

The entire community deplores the death
of Mr.. VIM. b. Reed. Very shortly after
the news of the death became generally
known yesterday, every engine and fire de-
partment truck house in tho city was
draped in mourning. Mr.. Reeds long SER
vice on the Board of Fire Commissioners
threw him in contact with all the members
of the Fire Department, and by them he
was most highly esteemed. Mr.. Reed was
not a member Of Lafayette Chapter, +, A.
A. NJ, as stated by an afternoon paper, but
was q member of Columbia Chapter,
No. 1, De Molay Commandery, X. T., and
Pentaipha Lodge, F. A. A. NJ. He was
also member of the National Rifles and
the Washington Light Infantry Corps.
Each of these organizations will probably be
represented at the funeral, which will take
place from Mr.. Reeds late residence, 1912
k street northwest, at A o'clock next Mon
day afternoon. This evening the Repub-
lican Central Committee, of which Mr..
Reed was member, will hold meeting at
Shea's Hall to draft suitable resolutions and
appoint representatives to attend the funeral.

making its mark. The directors held their
monthly meeting yesterday and the report
submitted by DR.. Parsons, resident physi-

were white and 374 colored 1906 adults and
1877 children; So white adult males and ~
and 2O2 cOlored adult females; 13 white

children. For the same month 1,713 pre-
scriptions were given away, 90 operations
performed and 90 emergency cases attended
in the hospital. When it is remembered
that the institution is yet in its infancy, the
Importance Of its mission can be readily
recognized by the above report.

About six hundred spectators witnessed
the game between the Orientals and q
picked nine yesterday on the National
grounds. The picked nine were as follows:
Wise, p. Barclay, c.; Long, LIST b.; JOY, I'd
b.. Rollins, s. s.. Collins, Sd b.; Wright,
+. f. ; Halliday, C. f.; Hill, l. +. The Orien-
tails nine were: Baker, c.; Kepner, p;
jennings, LIST b.; Kallfur, I'd b.; White,
8. s. ; Hessler, Sd b.. Ash, r. f.; Hall, C. f.;
Mallory, !. f. The picked nine took the
lead in the first inning, when hits by Wise,
Joy, Barclay, Long and Rollins earned
three runs. They made four in the second
inning, one in the third, two in the fifth
and eleven in the ninth. Barclay caught
Wise faultlessly, and also distinguished
himself in the fifth inning by making a
clean home run. Joy made very difficult
one-hand running catch of hard hit line
ball by White. Long also got hard one at
first base ball, and Halliday got one in the
centre field after hard run. For the Orien-
tails, Hessler Hall, White and Kepner de-
serve especial notice, and both mines dis
tinguished themselves by their gentlemanly
department. If the wishes of the fair sex
had been answered the picked nine would
not have scored at ALL as two lovely
maidens were heart and soul for the
Orientals, and every play by them were
loudly applauded by the ladies. The fol-
lowing is the score by innings:
