What New York Correspondents Ought
TO be Urged to Do.
New York business houses and banks do
not send their mail matter to the New YORK
postoffice in time to catch the first Western
mail train at night. II the letters, etc.,
were mailed before 5:45 the first train could
be caught. The second train westward IS
due to arrive in Pittsburg at $50 A. M, and
has no distributors upon it, besides being
usually late. II the first train were caught
the new system could handle an immense
amount of mail from four to five hours
quicker than otherwise. Pittsbur9 business
men are requested to post their eastern cor.
respondents of the conditions which should
be complied with to insure rapid delivery OF
mail from the East.
On Monday morning five carriers will
make special trip, leaving the office I'M
mediatelv on the arrival OF the early mails.
The business district from Second avenue to
Eleventh street will be covered. 1t should
be borne in mind that unless the public
shows appreciation of this plan. the depart
ment will not exert itself to perfect it.
officials write that the new system, by which
Eastern mail for Pittsburg is stamped and
assorted on the trains, has been very salts
factory to them, and will be the means of
saving time. Auditor Brown, of the same
road, writes that the plan greatly benefits
the business community and particularly
the railroads. Mr.. James P. Anderson,
general ticket agent of the road, congratu-
lates Postmaster Mexican on the new system
OF receiving and delivering Eastern mail,
and hopes the arrangement will become per-
manent. Mr.. H. D. w. English writes that
the change is one of great Importance, and
shows that the new administration intends
to cater to the business element of the COM
munity, to which the postmaster belonged.
A letter from the general offices of the
Pennsylvania Company states that the inno-
vation is one that touches the pulse OF COM
merce and means much for the business in
terests of the community.
The Farmers Deposit Bank states that the
new system is both profitable and conven-
lent, and deserves continuance and addi-
tions. One of the largest clothing firms in
the city joins the chorus of praise. Roenigk
Brothers send a strong letter of praise. Dill
worth Brothers write that it is a great help
to have Eastern letters and reports so much
earlier than usual. Orders from territory
east of Pittsburg, they say, can now be filled
and shipped on the day Of receipt. The letter
closes with the hope that this sensible ar
rangement can be continued without inter-
ruption under your administration.
The Second National Bank writes that
the endeavor to deliver the mail so much
earlier than usual gives great pleasure.
THE spirit of the times demands prompt
service, and we hope you will perseVere in
your good work. Your plan enables US to
collect our checks through the Clearing
House and make our collections in the city
a day earlier than usual"
Mr.. C. H. Mckee writes that the legal
profession, which has to get into court by,
the former time of mail delivery, will much
appreciate the reception of mail matter
early enough to be taken along with briefs
into court for perusal.
