commenting on several cases in that
city where children died from the eff :

CHICAGO, Aug. l5.-The New York
mails are still behind. Commenting on
the inconvenience to which the public has
been subjected, the Daily Neios this
evening says: Chicago business men are
justified in denouneing the bad manage
ment Of the postal authorities in not or
dering the delayed mails sent via the
Erie or Pennsylvania Central. Such
gross indifference to the necessities Of the
west should meet witt condemnation.
Under the present system of rapid trans
p~ortation and prompt local delivery, bust
ness is conducted on a close margin of
time, and the inexcusable Withholding of
expected service is a matter little short of
a misdemeanor.
