The Persian minister to this country de-
serves the commiseration Of our people He
has been in Washington for several months,
and has found only one person who could
speak Persian. He himself can't speak
English, and as consequence he has felt
somewhat lonesome at times, having no.
body to talk to, and much of his time has
been spent in seclusion. He would do well
to devote his hours of seclusion to studying
the English language.

Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey, is a
candidate for reelection, and ex-Gov. Leon
Albeit is candidate to succeed the senator.
Probably one or two other democrats are

New Jersey democrats should remember
that their majority in the legislature is not
sufficient to warrant them In making the
contest particularly interesting.

Mail Failures Again.

1t was expected that when quarantine
was raised delays and irregularities in the
mails would cease This expectation has
not been realized. Our mail service is still
IN very muddled and unsatisfactory con-
dition. The least change in the railroad
schedules paralyzes the entire mail system
in this section.
The MORNING NEWS has been a great
sufferer, probably greater than any other
patron of the mails, by these continued
irregularities of the so-called mail service.
There appears to be want of force in the
postoflice department. Whether the fault is
at headquarters in Washington, or at the tail
end OF the institution in the south, it is diff
cult to determine. The postoffice service
and the postal mail service the two
branches of the postoffice department hav-
ing charge of the nails, and the railroads
don't appear to act in harmony. The
slightest mishap anywhere on mail route,
or change in railroad schedule, upsets the
mail service, and it takes days to get it
righted
The following are few letters received
yesterday showing how wide spread and
annoying these Irregularities are. The
MORNING NEWS is mailed regularly aud
promptly to Subscribers, and the delays of
which complaint is made are chargeable to
the mail service:

Jacob Bruner died Wednesday evening
at GAS, In the Ssth year OF his age, at the
family residence, 900 North Queen street.
His death was rather sudden and unex-
pected, as he was on tho street in apparent

manufacture VI which Is still carried on by
Daniel Poist on the premises where Mr.

all her life In the house No. 220 North
Qnaan street.
Mr.. Bruner wasa very active business
