FAST MAILS.
General Gresham Defines His Position in
Regard to the New Service.

MINNEAPoLIs, March 24-The Evening Jour
nal of tomorrow will contain an interesting com
munication from Postmaster general Gresham
in response to a letter asking him to define the
position of the department in regard to the new
fast-mail service.
General Gresham says:
1.-THE manner in which the mails had been dis
patched west and northwest of Chicago for a
long while was discreditable to the department.
| first shortened the tim between New York
Boston and Chicago. a fast-man train arrives
at the latter place at 1910 at night. Having
gained this much the next thing to be done was
to shorten the time beyond Chicago This [
found very difficult to do. A large mail
was taken to Chicago, and, of course. a
very heavy mail was taken on there
The train from the East was liable to be delayed
at times. felt compelled, for these reasons, to
have the trains from Chicago for the West and
Northwest leave an hour OF two after the
schedule time for the arrival of the train from
the East While the purpose was to shorten
time tween the Atlantic and Pacific and all in
termediate points Chicago was too large place
to be treated as a mere waystation Two hours
and a quarter, all things considered, is not too
much time to spend at that place
General Gresham says, in conclusion, that
he has done the very best he could in this matter
to accommodate the whole country, and denies,
emphatically, that the delay i'll Chicago is for
the benefit of the local newspapers, They, as a
matter Of fact, made a strong fight to have the
trains leave at 4:30 A. NJ.

form Convention organized by the election of
John Alexander as president Addresses on
"Moral Accountability of Nations and Jesus
Christ, Ruler of Nations" were delivered re-
spectively by Rev E. Huber and Rev. W. j.
Coleman. The National Reform Association is
the outgrowth of the meeting in Cleveland in
February, 1868, to consider the crisis then i'm
pending and its object is set out in the call for
the convention-to teach that the Almighty is
the source of all national power and authority;
that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ruler of the
nations and that the bible contains the law
for the nations and is the supreme standard by
which all moral issues ought to be decided"

how much General Grant had changed
during his recent illness. From news

was getting well, but he found the old
commander fallen away, his face twisted
out of shape by lnfammatory rbeuma-

of his limbs, and bearing every appear

CoLoRADo's SUPERIORITY To ITALY
With all the stale joking about this
Italian climate. the fact remains that the
climate of Colorado is vastly superior to
that of Italy. We have more sunshine,
andsthe very test of a fine climate is its
abundance of sunshine. Our tempera-
ture is more variable, but this, again. is
an advantage. The even warmth of
Italy. as well as of Florida and South
Carolina, is enervating. 1t momen7arliy
relieves dying people. But the varia
tons of our dry sunny atmosphere are
invigorating. They harden and strength.

has any lungs and constitution left when

the Colorado climate will be the most
famous in the world, and Denver, as a
residence city, and the gay capital of
wealth and fashion, will be without a
peer in the land.

HOW TO TREAT TYPHOID FEVER.

The treatment of typhoid fever was
discussed at a meeting of the New York
County Medical Association, in the hall
of the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons, last evening. A paper upon the
subject wasread by DIR. Geo l.. Peabody,
who invited criticism and discussion
from all members of the association The
disastrous results of admitting to the hos
pitfalls patients we'll along with the disease
was shown to be caused chiefly by ignor-
ance of the previous condition of the
cases and the disregard paid to age and
physical condition. In the matter Cf
food he advised physicians to give the
typhoid fever patient solid food as soon
as possible. A physician in Kentucky
has given solid food from the beginning
of the sickness and had met with success.
Concerning the reduction of temperature
by cold-wator sponging once an hour
patients temperature might remain as
high as 104 degrees. Unless sponging
could be effectively attended to, the most
satisfactory way of keeping patient
cool was the cold water bath. A free
use of alcohol was advised, although in
recent years the tendency had been to
neglect it altogether. During the late
war the mortality among fever patients
in the white regiments had been 40 per
cent. and in the colored regiments 56 per
cent.
DR.. Oetmold, by series of diagrams
and practical illustrations, gave a simple
remedy for weak ankles, knock knees,
bowed legs, raised shoulders and curved
spines. His remedy is: "Apply lit Q
common sense to the sole of the boot"
When the inner ankle bone protrudes
and causes a weak ankle, remove the
weight from the protruding part. To do
this the sole Orr the inner side of the boot
must be raised a little. By this means
the inner ankle bone would be thrown
into its proper place and made strong.
To cure knock knees raise the inner sides
of the soles of both boots, and to straight
en- bowed legs raise the boot soles on the
outer edges. In case the left shoulder
is higher than the right, add a thickness
of sole leather to the bottom of the right
boot. thus lengthening the leg. Curva-
ture of the spine in children and young
speople may be cured in the same way
