Failed for a Million and /. HALF

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2s.-The old estab-
lished financial house of b. X. Jamison &
Co. closed its doors yesterday. The head
of the firm has been one of the most promi-
nent figures on the street for over thirty
six years. A few months ago he was
generally rated as worth fully $500, COO, but
for nearly month the firm has been freely
talked about on the street. The liabilities
are s, SOC, 600, and an assignment has been
made. The cause of the failure is bed in
vestments and the inevitible tight money!
in such cases. No report of assets.

Exposing Cream to the Air.

The late Professor Arnold is credited
with the following remarks: Il have met
with plenty of fine and even fancy but
ter made by different modes of deep and
cold setting, but the most exquisite
flavor has come from she exposure of the
cream to the pure air at about 60 dogs

two and half to three inches deep. By
such an exposure the butter fats acquire
a new and delicious flavor which is not

POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT

His Department..

His Department.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 29-The annu-
al report of Postmaster General Wana-
maker for the fiscal year ended June 80,
so, is made public. He reports saving
Of 100000 in contracts for postal cards,
stamped envelopes and carrying the mails,
while at the same time the routes have
heen extended over nearly 100000 miles
10y railway, steamboat and stage; the gross
revenue is nearly 100000 larger than
ever before, and 5000 new postoffices have
been established, while the postal clerks
have reduced the number Of pieces usually
sent to the dead letter Office by 100000.
The Postal Telegraph scheme.
in one form or another says the post
master general, ~the public imperatively
demands cheaper telegraphy, and the post
office department can supply il at less cost
han any corporation, unless the latter has
ent, light and fuel free, and carriers and
clerks without pay" This statement l.
supported by an extended argument on
The same lines as the argument made by
the postmaster general before the commit
tees of congress. He also recommends the
establishment of postal savings banks in
states having no laws regulating savings
banks, and in other states upon petition of
considerable number of residents of any
one locality.
The Kreutzer Sonata Case.
Concerning the exclusion of the '.Kreutz-
er Sonata from the mails the report,
after reviewing the law on the subject at
length, says that the book was indecent
under any definition of the word, and its
exclusion was the simple duty of the de
partment: For myself / never discuss
the policy or wisdom of breaking the law,
and the officials of the postoffice department
do not" He recommends the passage Of the
Latin American mail subsidy bill
Remarks About Civil Service Reform.
OF civil service reform in the department
the postmaster general says: "A years
experience confirms me in the Judgment
formed twelve months ago that the civil
service system, as applied to the rosters Of
the postoffice department, is susceptible of
Improvement The practice of the depart
ment shows that the inspector force. for
example, is more efficient as a whole IL
elgibles who have seen public service are
selected instead Of those who have simply
been examined. think it wouId
be impossible to find an appointing officer
who has not been glad to take advantage
OF stringent examinations to keep away
the mere political place seekers"
Removals from Onice.
The number of presidential postmasters
removed during the last two years was
40. OF these $50 were removed ON inspec-
tor reports and 800 for incompetency and
other causes for the good of the service. -
OF the latter 2i9 had served for four years

movals were Z ZOO in 1859 and 6,0l2 in 1890
