From Washington City.

Our correspondent at Washington
sends the following under date of Octo-
Der 25:
"More gas is consumed in the postof-
fee department at present than ever be-
fore. This statement has no reference
to the expenditure of eloquence and per-
suasion by Congressman and others who
visit the department to talk about the
postoffice. That remains about the same
from one administration to another; but
the gas that flows into the building
through pipes land by the gas company,
is being consumed at a great rate
through the burners in the chandeliers
that light the rooms occupied by Post
master General Wanamaker and Gen.
Clarkson, the first assistant postmaster
general. Both of these officials have the
reputation of being hard workers Mr.
Wanamaker is said to perform the work
of two men. He attends to all the work
of the Office in general and besides, gives
his attention to details which his prele-
cessors seldom knew anything about
He comes to the department at s o'clock
promptly each morning, and since he has
been postmaster general good many of
the officials have shortened their morn
ing maps and try to get there at that
time too. At first Mr. Wanamaker be-
gan to come to the department as early
as o'clock and 7:30, but he found it
rather difficult to attend to business by
himself and so yielded half hour or so
to the customs of the city. He gets to
work at s, however, and when visitors
begin to come he has cut quite large
slice out of the business of the day. He
OF only reaches the department at s
o'clock, but he remains there until after
Z o'clock. Long after the clerks have
left the department for the day, the
lights in Mr.. Wanamaker's rooms are
burning, and the head of the depart
ment is hard at it. From the windows
of the adjoining rooms the lights may
be seen shining, nearly every night I'M
til after o'clock. They are the rooms
occupied by Gen. Clarkson, the first as
sistant. He is said to be the most rap
id dictator of letters in the department

The holder OF the latter ticket has any

piece OF good luck is that neither woman

The boys blast on the tin horn,
outside his window, seemed TO
echo In his ears and he wonder
ed vaguely why. boys should so
delight In noise. He had once been a
boy, but, when he formulated his sys-
tenn, he had put away childish things.
AS he finished dressing. his eye fell on
the calendar that hung near his shaving
glass, and he noticed that it was Decem-
ber "a. Then he noticed that the next
date was printed in red ink, and, revolv-
ing the fact systematically in his mind
he arrived at the conclusion that IL was
Christmas Eve.
IL annoyed him slightly. IL Mr.. Bow
ser could have governed everything 10y
his system, there would have been no
days, except Sundays. marked In red on
the calendar. Christmas meant a hoii-
day at the bank, and. although the sys-
TEN was too perfect 20 make even q rip
pie on the smooth stream OF prosperous
business there. n holiday meant idleness
in the community, and idleness was alb
horrent to Mr.. Bowser.
At length Mr.. Bowser was dressed.
and, ms his habit was. he opened his bed
room door and whistled for his mastiti.
Harold Harold was a concession OF
Air. Bowser's. In his system he had
made no allegiance for affection. He
was just 10 everybody. and prided him
self on the fact. No claim on his sense
Of equity was ever dishonored. none ON
his affection was ever allowed. Yet
even Mr.. Bowser could not live without
love; so he loved his dog.
II il he assumed that a man may get
along with only a dog TO love, Mr. Bow.

bic as he WAS faithful. and rs handsome

thing that q good dog ever did. evon ir

Bowser would not have loved him.
Harold did not come TO his call as
usual. IL was an hour too early. and
the servants would as soon have thought
OF shutting the dog out altogether
as OF admitting hum 10 the house
before Mr. Bowser's hour fol
appearing. For Harold was the only
living thing under Mr. Bowsers control
that had no regard for system. and
he would accordingly have scratched
M Nr. Bowser's door and whimpered
and would have disturbed his master.

and the anguish OF other people. was not
any occasion for surprise. Mr. Bowser,
however, seemed TO be surprised when
il smote upon his ear. There was an
expression or offended dignity about
Mr.. Bowsers right foot as he thrust it
out from his warm bed and felt around
slowly on the floor for his slippers. 1t
seemed hardly right that such sound
should have been the means OF breaking

that sound had done il.
Mr.. Bowser did not swear. He was a
member Of the Episcopal church, and
was above oil things consistent. Con-
sistencv was part OF his system, also
Everything Mr., Bowser did was done on
system, from the regulation OF the
credits allowed by him as president OF
the First National Bank, to the manner
ia which he governed his household.
1t was not much OF household. Mr.
Bowser was bachelor about fifty-five
years Of age. and had only three SER
wants and magnificent mastiff as in

the main street OF Northchcster. There
were many maidens who would have
been willing to rule the house for him,
but only one had ever had the chance,
and she scorned IL. So Mr. Bowser we'd
ded himself TO his system. aud that ran
