young Mrs. Winthrop" to be Played
This Afternoon.
The Fords will give a matinee perform
ance of Young Mrs. Winthrop this after
noon at $3.50 o'clock, by special request. Too
much cannot be said of the play. It is one
of the Madison Square theater's great sue
cesses, and it is a hard matter to tell which
company made the greatest impression on
the Savannah public, the Madison Square
company or the Fords at their recent per-
Torrance. Undoubtedly the play is the
greatest success the Fords have ever had.
Young Mrs. Winthrop is a p ;thetic piece.
but there Is vein of comedy in it TO relieve
the strain to which the audience would
otherwise be subjected. The cast IS as fol-
lows:
Douglas Winthrop "a Man of Business
Constance mis- WE, MISC James Nei
Mrs Ruth (His Mother Miss Julia Arthur
Edith Chaplin The Blind Sister of Constance)
......... Miss Annie Helen Blancke
Mrs Dick Chetwyn "a Lady of Society
................ Miss Helen Sedgwck

The Fords have invited the inmates of the
female orphan asylums of the city to attend
the matinee, and seats will be reserved for
them.
1t is hoped that the association will have
a crowded house, SO that it may know that
what it has done and proposes doing is ap-

POsTMASTER's REPORT.
Annual Report of Postmaster-General
Wanamaker-Conditfon Of Uncle Sans
Mail Service.


Mail Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual
report of the Postmaster-Gene
of the United States has been
issued. He says that he has the honor
to state that to him is committed the
management of the largest business
concern in the world, consisting Of the
control of an establishment with al
most 10000 branches and employing
over 10000 people. The increase in
the number of post-offices since 1880
was Is, 1899. The length of routes since
1880 has increased T2,159 miles. The
gross revenue has increased so, ,875, Gil
for the same period; increase in the
number of stamps issued was 1,0S5,-
9S0,S40. The grand total of employees
is placed at 150,935. He states that it
may be gravely questioned whether
the present mode of selecting
inspectors will furnish the pc
culiar ability which the Govern
ment should command; that the
practice of retaining superannuated
clerks for humanity's sake because no
other provision has been made, has
grown to be serious embarrassment.
He admits and agrees to the objections
urged against civil pension list, but
suggests that some action be taken to
relieve the present situation. The au-
thOrity to retire clerks arrived at a
certain age, upon the report of three
bureau chiefs, and allow one years
pay will alleviate much of the suffer
ing which would otherwise enSue and
not involve permanent charge upon
the country. The grand expenditure
to foreign steamships during the last
fiscal year was 1896. 6.582.51; the amount
paid American steamships, S109, 1923. IA;
the aggregate amount of money
orders issued in the United States
for payment in Europe large
ly exceeds the aggregate amount
of money orders iss ued in those coun-
tries for payment here; the amount is
sued for payment in the United King
dom was S5, III, ,169, and the amount is
sued there for payment here was only
$86O,065. If letters and arguments and
articles in newspapers presented at the
department are evidence of interest
there is growing sentiment in favor
of the Government offering through
the post-ofiices repositories for savings.
The deficiency in the revenue for the
fiscal year is $3.50, 1873; gross receipts,
$50, 14S,0l4, or S.5 per cent. less than
the actual disbursements of the year;
and S6, $50, 1S3.43, or 10.1 per cent. less
than the disbursements and liabilities
of the year; and s7,6O3, ,856.76, or 11.9
per cent. less than the estimated total
cost of service, which includes the
amount certified to the Secretary of the
Treasury as earnings for mail trans
pOrtatiOn on Pacific railroads.
