New And Useful System Soon Going
 lnto Operation.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-Postmaster Gen. eral Villas to-day completed arrangements for the establishment of the special delivery of letters authorized by the last Congress and issued circular letter of instructions to postmasters to govern this new feature of the postal service The new system will go into operation on the first of next October. The law authorized it's introduction at the discre- tion of the Postmaster General in all places containing more than four thousand inhabi- tants. When the Postmaster General first directed his attention to the matter he thought it best to introduce the system in only few of the large cities, but he finally determined to introduce it in all the places allowed by law. By placing the special ten cent stamp on 8 letter in addition to the reg ulaI postage it will be delivered at once by special carrir upon it's arrival at the offices of destination anywhere within the carrier limits of 8 free delivery office or within one mile of postoffce. At other than free delivery offices which are designated as special delivery offices drop or local letters bearing the special delivery stamp will also be delivered by special carriers. The in- structions issued to postm asters to-day au- Inol'ze the employment or messenger boys to perform the special delivery system at | salary not to exceed $50 per month. Sub stitute letter carriers may be utilized as mes sengers. The circular sent to postmasters l to-day embraces copy of the act authoriz- | ing the establishment of the system and | very minute instructions and many sugge5- tions respecting the introduction of it at | each office. In concluding h1s circular MT. | Villas says:
 "You urgently enjoined to give your | best judgment and diligent attention to this system of special delivery now sought to be established by the government. It is an ob- ject of great importance and general desire that the system should prove of high public utility. Although the ends sought by it are of unquestionable value, the system intro duced is necessarily an experiment and its success depends largely upon the postmaster and it's success or failure in any locality will indicate the postmasters official value"
