GOVERNMENT PRINTING.
Branch Offices to be Established i'm st.
Louis and Chicago.
tGlobe-Democrat.l


Postmaster Hyde is in Chicago on very
important mission in connection with the
business of the ST. Louis postoilice. Gen
eral Superintendent j. +. Bates, of the
railway mail service, called Mr.. Hyde
to Chicago during his brief stay there,
for the purpose of having con-
ference with Postmaster Judd to ascertai
the wishes of both gentlemen regarding
the new supply depots now in course of
construction in their respective postoffices.
The matter of basement space will figure
as q large factor in the question of ST.
Louis or Chicago getting the first chance in
the great revolution about to take place in
the postal department of the government.
Time and experience have taught the gov
eminent that the matter Of shipping all
supplies from Washington is fallacy,
The idea Of but one government printing
office has been found to be a mistake of
great magnitude. AS is the practice now,
postmasters send in their requisitions
for supplies, which are filled but
twice year. This is very slow and an
noyipg. The idea that now is occupying
the attention of the postal authorities is
tai supplies of every description, blanks.
forms, and all the materials used in the
service for distribution throughout the
north and northwest and st. Louis sup
ply depot of like character for the south
and southwest, Denver being the dividing
line between the north and south for the
distribution. The further aim is TO have
duplicate government printing offices
in 81. Louis and Chicago to pre-
pare all blanks, forms, envelopes,
&c., and, in fact, all the print
inc necessary that the nOstal depar RI
ment uses. II has been found inexpe-
dient to. ship by freight and express the
materials used all over the United States,
when the raw paper can be purchased
from st. Louis and Chicago manutactur-
ers, and thus save an immense item in
freight. There are manifold reasons why
the establishment of such printing offices
in 81. Louis and Chicago would benefit
the government. The Postmaster Gen
eral has reached this conclusion, and the
supply depots are already nearly com

His next step was to resign the posi-

held, and so skillfnlly did he manage this
delicate proceeding that he secured his

The holy father gave a private audience
to Brother Joseph, the superior general of
the brothers of the Christian schools and
afterward received the provincial visitors
of the order. His holiness especially sin
gled out for conversation Brother Justin,
visitor of the brothers in the district of
New York. He was delighted to learn the
strides the brothers are making in the
United States, and wds moved to conclude
the audience by saying:

In the evening representatives of the
holy father assisted at seance given in
the French College Of st. Joseph, of which
Brother Simeon has been director for
nearly forty years. The superior general
of the brothers presented manifcently

4 Craze for the Collecting of I'm
mounted Diamonds.
tNnu Work. SIM

The latest whim among wealthy women
is nothing less than the collection of un.
mounted diamonds. The extent to which
this craze has already been carriedis ama2-
ing, and the dealers in gems are all smiles
in consequence. The statement would
seem almost incredible, were il not for the
notorious fact that majority of women
have long been accustomed TO leave very
valuable diamonds at home and wear in
public places limitations of small cost.
Doubtless this led to the new scheme-for,
If one owns fine gems, why not display
them in some manner 1t is said that
Mrs W, X Vanderbilt, when she sailed
away in the AlVa ON a yachting tour Of
the globe, left behind her one of the best
collections of small unmounted diamonds
in the city; but it will be
eNCelled ere She returns. AT after
noon calls and 3 o'clock teas new and
fascinating topic is thus afforded, and
notes are compared: The diamonds are
generally arranged in little nests of cotton,
which are made in elaborate boxes OF in
laid woods, and placed where the hostess
may keep an eye upon them, or servant
is constantly ON guard. A lady owning
such Il collection made an exceedingly
frank ayowal the other day, Said she;
why, every woman who can afford it
indulgcs the hobby. The diamonds are
frequently bought ON guarantee that the
iewcer will take them back AT n certain
percentage of the cost; and anyway, |
think they are better than stocks and
bonds MS an investment, because their
value doesn't tiuCtuate much"
Ii is even said that ladies do little quiet
trading in the precious stones wheneye
each is convinced that she is getting tn .
