For the past eight months the corridor near
the door of the Postmaster General and his
ante room have been thronged daily with
people anxious to see Mr.. Wanamaker He has
been able to do but little except to shake
hands and talk. If he was called upon
to epitOmize in a sentence the functions
of Postmaster General Mr.. Wanamaker would
probably say: The duties are largely to
shake hands and be talked at" He takes very
little part IN the conversation himself. With a
room full OF visitors and more outside to take
their places. he does not sit down and chat
about the weather or the condition of bust
ness. He adopts the peripatetic method and
walks about the room from one visitor to
another. He listens to what each one has to
say. His manner is always courteous. He
pays strict attention, but some how he conveys
the impression that he has not time to listen
to lengthy statements. His replies are brief
and to the point. and while he is saying
goodbye to one visitor he is reaching
out to grasp the hand of another
His thorough mastery of himself and his
clear discernment of the proper disposition
OF each request enables him to do a great deal
in short time. He seems to be able to go
through day of fatiguing toll and at the
same time preserve an equitable temper and a
oalmness of manner that is appreciated by
those who have business with him. He can be
stern, but he is never irritable. He knows how
TO repulse senseless pertinacity and impudence
but he does not assume the airs of superiority.
MR.. wASAMAKER's BUSINESS HABITS.
He is great worker. He has the method
and the orderly modes of procedure which are
the qualities of a successful business man. He
is at his desk early in the morning and after the
department closes for the day he remains at
work for two or three hours. Those who are
most familiar with what he has done since he
has been at the head of the department say
that he does the work of two men. He has
a highly developed faculty for continuous
arduous labor. He Is obliged to work His
duties as Postmaster General engross a large
portion of the official day. There are over 2 500
presidential postmasters in this country. He
must go over these cases in order to discuss them
with the President. He must grant personal
interviews with the candidates and their friends
He must balance and adjust the differences be-
tween opposing political factions and study the
local political situation. He has shown judy
ment and decision in making appointments and
IN several notable cases he has displayed con-
siderable nerve. If he is not trained politi-
clan he is credited with acquiring very rapidly
political sagacity.

department is not left TO spend his official
hours in solitude. Their efforts are supple
mented by very large proportion of the Co.
coo 900 Of people, more or less. who are said
to inhabit this country. The position Of Post
master General has been criticised but it has
never been alleged that its occupant was in
danger of suffering from ennui. 1t has never
been recommended as position where a man
suffering from nervous prostration would be
likely to secure needed rest and quiet. On the
contrary it is asserted that larger pro-
portion of the citizens of the country are
brought into direct relations with Uncle Sam
through the Post Office department than
through any other branch of the government.
More than one-half of the officials outside of
the army and navy who are appointed by the
President are connected with this department.
1t ought not. therefore, to be a matter of sur
prise that the Postmaster General is written to
and talked to by perhaps more people than
any other cabinet officer. This is especially
the case ut the beginning of an administration

.THAT'S THE MANI
Burke is the "Frank Williams" who
Rented the Carlson Cottage.

Jonas Carlson corroborated his daughter-in-
day afternoon and, narrating the story of the
stranger, supposed to be Burke, who rented
the Carlson cottage, said: He asked me if it
was my house. as he wanted to rent it. told
HIM yes. He said let me see the house. and 1
took the keys and went to the house with him.
We entered by the back door, and he looked
around and said there were six rooms. How
much do you ask for it?' said, 1912 a month
He said, Can you take SIP No, cannot
said. will give you the money now, he said.
Then got the money, aud my boy gave him a
receipt when We went back to the other house."
Carlson went on to say that the stranger, who
gave the name of Frank Williams said that he
had three brothers, and his sister was to come
on from Baltimore to keep house for them He
had bought the furniture, and it would arrive
IN two or three days. The stranger then took
the key. The witness said he had met and
talked with OSulliyan, one of the defendants,
many times. O'Sulliyan lived in the immediate
vicinity.
Look back of the lawyers, Mr.. Carlson"
said Mr.. Mills, as the old gentleman advanced
with hesitating step and scanned the faces of
the counsel for defense. He had hardly ut
tered the words when the witness, walking
straight up to the defendant Martin Burke,
shook his hat at him, and exclaimed, That's
the man."
Despite his utmost efforts to appear uncon-
cerned 1t was evident that Burke fully realized
the damaging nature of old man Carlson's testi-
mony Mr.. Mills was not slow to clinch his ad-
vantage. lis that the man." he asked, indi-
eating Martin Burke, lat your place you called
Frank Williams?" and the witness unhesitatingly
answered: "Yes, SIR"
John Clarity, a teamster, testified that about
two weeks ago Coughlin told him he wanted to
see Major" Sampson; he wanted to get him to
.'slug" man. He wanted the man disfigured
for life, and If he was killed it would not make
much difference
On cross-examination counsel for defense
sought to show that the witness had grudxe
against Coughlin, but he denied that such was
the case.
The court then adjourned till today

Gen. Grants Resting Place.

In an interview in Philadelphia G. W. Childs
says Gen. Grants body will doubtless be re-
moved to West Point Arlington. Several
years before his death" said Mr. Childs, Gen.
Grant said that his military superior, Winfield
Scott. was buried at West Point and he would
like to lie there. He also expressed de-
sire that his wife might be buried at his side. "
AT the time of Gen. Grants death New York
came quickly forward with its offer to provide
a resting place; now, however, influential
Grand Army men have asked that the body be
removed to Arlington, aud special arrange
ments have been made to allow OF Mrs. Grant
being buried at the same place.
United States army officers seem to prefer
West Point. Within few weeks l expect to
see Mrs. Grant, and she will, of course, be the
first to act"

The Weather in October.

The wcather-crop bulletin of the signal Office
says: October has been cooler than usual in all
agricultural districts east of the Rocky noun
tains, except in Dakota. There was a slight
excess in temperature in the Rocky mountain
districts, and thence westward to the Pacific
coast. During the month there has been less rain
than usual In the central valleys and generally
throughout the southern states and New Eng
land. More than the usual amount of rain oc-
CURED in California and Oregon, in the middle
Atlantic states and in the central Rock noun
tain plateau region. The drought condition
which existed in the central valleys has been
succeeded by timely rains, which have doubt
less greatly improved the winter wheat crop.
The drought continued during the month in the
southern portion OF the Gulf states, extending
from Florida westward over southern Texas
over which region only light showers we're re-
ported, and the deficiency of rainfall for the
month ranges from one to five inches, but this
morning November - generous rains were re-
ported from Texas, northern Louisiana and
southern Alabama, and the rains are heavy in
the central Mississippi and lower Missouri
valleys, with heavy SHOWS in Nebraska and
western Kansas.
