The Philadelphia Postoflice.

The Inspectors report on the conduct of
the Philadelphia postoftice is published at
length In the newspapers of that city,
which have heretofore been diligently rep
.senting that the office was very badly
anaged, and utterly inefficient by reason
the substitution of raw Democratic
Tks for experienced Republican officers.
ne city Of Philadelphia is oppressed with
number of feeble Republican journals of
.eater or less disposition to malicious mis-
representation of their political opponents;
30 that probably general impression
prevailed among the citizens that
the postoflice was managed badly
and only with an eve to partisan service.
This inspectors report, which they read at
length in the journals that have been tel
Z them very different tale, will show
them that comparatively few changes have
been made in the clerical force, and that
the new appointees have been found by the
inspectors to be intelligent and efficient.
The complaints that have been made
against the Office are declared generally to
have been of trivial character and such as
would be caused by delay of trains or
other occasion that could not be provided
against, and which happened as frequently
under the old management, without cauS-
ing comment then as there was no partisan
end to be gained 10y abusing the postmas-
ter. And some well founded complaints had
their origin in the malicious endeavOr Of
s)me old employees in the Office to bring its
management into discredt by misleading
and misdirecting the new clerks and tam
periEg with the carriers packs. 7 Is zee
commended that any clerk found guilty of
such practices should be dismissed. The
recommendation does not 60 far enough.
If any such things are but reasonably sus-
pected to be done in the Office there should
be wholesale cleaning out Of the infected
quarters.
Postmaster Harrity has been very patient
under the exceedingly ungencrous and
malignant attacks that have been made
upon him and must enjoy greatly the con,
fusion to which this report puts his foes.
1t is not only complete vindication OF
himself, but it puts upon the Republican
friends OF his malignant as atlantis the re
sponsibility for the complaints againS, the
postoilce which they have been indus
triously making. Their chickens have
come home to roost. We have never, in
our experience of journalism, seenanything
to equal the mean malice of the Philadel
phia Press in its treatment of Postmaster
Harrity, whom it well knew to be young
man of high intelligence, honor and
character. He came into the man
agement of great administrative of
fee, without much experience in business
administration, and was entitled to exp. ct
at least decent consideration until he had
an opportunity TO get the swing OF it. Per
haps he may be proud that he was treated
SO harsbly; taking it as a tribute to yigol
that was justly feared.

The Plain Girl.

An esteemed contemporary empha-
sizes the fact that in Berlin, Paris,
London, Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, st. Louis and even in
Camden, the girl who elopes with
the coachman, ruins the preacher,
runs away with the variety show,
kills herself and keeps the reporters
employed is always beautiful and
brilliant on paper and gets all the
fuss made over her, while the plain
girl, who stays at home, mends the
stockings and helps keep the human
kitchen warm and clean, is very
much neglected
1t is all too true. In their search
for pleasure and beauty, as in their
search for wealth, men are too apt
to forget everything except the OBJ
ject of their quest, and the object
being too often trivial they are very
apt to be fooled, while the beautiful
girl gets the advertising and long,
sound sleep on opium. The plain
girl meanwhile gets very tired of her
work in the store, of her studies or
teaching at school and Of her domes-
tic cares, but she is apt to wake in
the morning when the beautiful girl
has long ceased to wake.
Queer and unmanageable as they
are, girls are likely to get their dues,
like other people. The beautiful
girl is courted for her beauty and
spoiled. The plain girl is admired
and loved for her usefulness and is
seldom spoiled. In the long run the
plain girl gets more appreciation
and genuine admiration for her use
fulness than the beautiful girl gets
for her beauty. 1t is usually consid-
cred more comfortable thing to
live life of shame, and while beau
ty does not necessarily imply mis-
fortune it is apt to bring such, and
the plain girl need not cry her eyes
out because she is plain.-Ifmes.

Another Fire Mt Parkersburg.

PARKERsBURG, April 13.-This
morning about o'clock flames were
discovered issuing from the second
story frame addition to the rear of
M. Mortimer's store, on Court street.
Before the water could be turned on
the building was badly burned and
nearly destroyed. The fire did not
reach the brick in front, however, be-
fore it was extinguished. The fol-
lowing are the losses sustained: M.
Mortimer, store on lower floor, goods
and personal property 800; fully
insured +. L. Refs, photographer,
second floor, rear, loss $3.50; insured.
j. G. Murphy, Refs operator, $50;
Barna Powell and w. H. Wolfe, trus-
tees, loss on building, 800; fully
insured. That the fire was the work
of an incendiary there is no question
as this is the second time within six
weeks that an attempt has been
made to burn the building. 1t seems
the incendiary has an old grudge
against Refs, the photographer, as
he was burned out some time ago
while on business in Marietta, O.,
and from the fact that Mr.. Powell
received threatening letter through
the postoflice just after the first at
tempt to burn the building, in which
letter the writer demanded of Mr..
Powell that he expel Refs from the
building, charging Refs with being
a mean man, and saying that if he is
not driven out, that he Mr.. Powell)
will suffer. There is no doubt that
the fire-bug is an inveterate enemy
of Refs. The officers believe they
have clue and are working assid-
uously on the case.-Register.

The Winter Wheat Crop.

The latest reports in regard to the
wheat crop in six leading winter
wheat States, show very favorably.
Pennsylvania has about the same
amount of seed planted as last year.
The spring opened with warm rains,
and fields look splendidly. On the
basis of 1882, the crop yield will reach
1900, 900 bushels.
OhiO-Wheat in splendid condi-
ton; liz reports show an average OF
10 per cent. increase over last year
on average of same. The only COM
plants received are from three north
eastern counties. A fair estimate
would place the 1885 crop 20 per
cent. over last year, gain of 4, OOO,-
900 bushels
Indiana-Reports from all parts
of the State indicate the largest
wheat crop ever grown in that State.
The seed sown was fully Is per cent.
over 1885. 1t is safe to say the yield
will reach 100000 bushels.
Delaware and Maryland both re-
port big crops sown and condition
excellent. 1t is estimated that the
yield in these two States will exceed
last year by 10 to II per cent.
California and the winter wheat
districts on the Pacific Slope show
full average in quantity sown. Con-
dition good and prospects exceed
ingly favorable.
There is good acreage sown in
West Virginia and the prospects at
present are very hattering for rich
harvest. This will not come amiss,
either, in the sections of our State
that have suffered so much from
drought in the past two years.

Stewartstown is beautiful village
on the dividing ridge between Cheat
and Monongahela Rivers. 1t has a
population of one hundred and fifty
inhabitants; has one wagon and bug
gy shop, two blacksmith shops, one
shoemaker shop, one stonemason,
one tanner, two carpenters, one store
and postoffice. The. next place of
note is Crooked Run, on which Asa
Miller's Mill is located. Some fine
scenery is here presented by the
workings of nature; evergreens tow
ering from mighty cliffs five hun
dred feet high, projecting near one
hundred feet from the base, which is
a curiosity and popular resort for
pleasure seekers during the summer
season. The stately pines and small
evergreens make dense forest.

Theory of Natural Gas.

Register]
Prof l. C. White of the West Vir-
ginia University, has an article in
the Petroleum Age for March, on the
Geology of Natural Gas" He holds
to his theory that all gas wells are
found on anticlinal axes and replies
to Mr.. Ashburner of the Geological
Survey of Pennsylvania, who claims
that the anticlinal theory is only a
happy coincidence. A map Of the
gas of Western Pennsylvania drawn
by Messrs. J L. Johnston and C. E.
Grafton, of this State accompanies
the article as illustrating proof of
the anticlinal theory.
In regard to the duration of natur-
al gas the paper says: "Mr. Carroll
has recently sounded note of warn
ing through the columns of the Age
to which those who think the sup
ply inexhaustible would do well to
take heed; for certain it is that
many wells once large have long
ceased to flow. 1t is true that many
of these have been chOked up. with

Easter, 1856.

This year Easter falls on the latest
date on which it can possibly fall,
that is to say April 25th, or nearly
a month after the beginning of the
second quarter of the year. Such a
case has not happened in this cen
fury, and will not recur again. In
the next century, the twentieth,
Easter will fall on April 25th, 1913.
If we turn back to previous centu-
ries we find that such late date for
Easter occurs only once in each cen
fury, that is-1734, 1866, 1916, 1451
the fourteenth century goes without
such a late date; 1904, 11O9, 1O14,
919. The earliest day for Easter,
March 22nd, has occurred only once
in this century, in 1918, and it will
not recur before A. d. 1000. This
earliest day for Easter has occurred
in 1851, 1898, 1898, 1873, 147s, 1888;
the thirteenth century is passed
over; 1136, 1O41, 946. 1t is inter
esting to note how Easter will
distribute itself up to A. ID. 1000
In the present century Easter will
fall only twice more in March on
the 10th in 1891, and on the 25th in
1894. OF the remaining twelve
years of this century five Easter

The Burns Lynching.

MARTINsBURG, April 13.-Judge c.
j. Faulkner, in delivering the charge
to the Grand Jury this morning,
among other features, particularly
directed attention to the Burns
lynching, which occurred here on the
night of the 10Th of February. The
language of the charge was strong,
pungent and to the point. In it he
declared that no ties of relationship,
no threats of violence, no feelings of
friendship should influence the jury
in it's deliberations, the law must be
respected. Referring to the report
that the lynchers were men of integ-
rity, uprightness and honor, the
Judge remarked that it only added
to the Importance of administering
the law and furnishing the lawless-
ness that ran riot on the occasion.
The charge had decided impress
sion upon the jurors and the audi
ence, and many of those who so reck-
lessly violated the law may yet re-
ceive it's penalty. In the delivery
Judge Faulkner spoke calmly, stern
ly and earnestly, and all who know
him feel safe in saying that he has
done his duty nObly.
