A Letter. Carrier Detective,

From the Trenton Times.
There is a little green card in use by the Post
Office Department that is terror to some of
the more careless letter carriers 1t is terror
only when they have once been caught Very
seldom, indeed, are they caught the second
time. This card is dropped in a letter box and
on it is marked the time it was put in and also
the time it should be taken out by the carrier.
record is kept by the chief of the carriers
and if that little card does not turn up
with the other mail with which it is due il is
clearly to be seen that tho carrier has not taken
the mail from that particular box.
The object, Of course, is to test the relia-
bility OF the carriers. Where there is any COM
plant on the part of the citizens about the
hardness of local mails, then little green card
is dropped in one or more boxes in tho district
from which the complaint comes. Sometimes
it shows carelessness on the part of the carrier
and sometimes it does not It is, however, not
necessary that there should be complaints, for
frequently the cards put In the boxes Of
the most efficient men. or course they are
happy when they discover them. But where
box is missed in which there 10 a green card,
then the carrier is bound to get into trouble,
and very serious trouble at that.
This card has been In use by the Post Office
Department for good many years in all parts
OF the country.

Secrecy About Silver transactions.

For some unexplained reason Treasury Off
GERS are disposed to be very secret and myste-
rious with regard to today's silver transactions
and refuse absolutely to give out any informa-
ton with regard to offers for the sale of silver
bullion to the government which may have
been received by the department
today under the circular Of August /.
1t is probable, however, that If any
purchases are made today that fact will be
made public about o'clock this afternoon.
The director of the mint said this afternoon
that the department will during the afternoon
announce the London price OF silver, but will
not under any circumstances let the public
its purchases, that is, provided any are made
today.
