THE NEW POSTAL MUSEUM.
illustrating the Mail-Carrying Methods
of the whole World.

WASHINGTON City, Nov. Especial
Correspondence. MIR. Wanamaker's new
postal museum will be organized as
quickly as space can be cleared for II in
the building of the postoifice department.
In response to his requests. sent out some
months ago, many foreign governments
have already forwarded to Washington
City exhibits illustrating the methods
they adopt for carrying the mails. In
Guided in these consignmeuts are cos
tunes of letter-carrlers, which in Europe
are very gorgeous and military,
specimen. letter boxes. miniature mail
vehicles, superb photographs of foreign
postotfices. statuettes representing people
engaged in transporting mail after various
fashions, and ever so many other interest
ing things. There is q set of exguisitely.
executed figures in papier mache from
India, which now adorns the manIel-piece
of the postmaster-general. One of them
shows postal runner in British India,
carrying bag of letters and clad only in a
breech-elout, with a long spear in his
hand, from which little bells bangle. The
weapon is for his defence against the
wild animals that infest the jungles
through which he is obliged to
pass, though one would think it a
poor tool for coping with striped tiger of
Bengal, while the bells are intended TO
brighten the cobras, kraits and other VEN
omous serpents. Another statuette pre-
sents the same runner in the act of pad
ding across a stream in his customary
manner, on raft made simply of four big
corked jars of earthenware fastened to-
gether. Other mail carriers are seen rid
ing on camels, which easily travel eighty
miles day, or in light carts drawn by In
dian butfaloes over rough roads where
horses could not go.

C. Haddon Chambers.
London Letter.


By reason of his youth-he is only 80
c. Haddon Chambers must for the present
be ranked with the younger school"
although his brilliant, popular successes
and the estimation in which his work is
held by the critics has given him fore
most place among English play-makers.
Up to the production of captain Swift"
at the Haymarket in 18SS-an event the re-
suits of which changed the aspects OF life
to him-his story is the old one of the Bit
ter struggle between poverty and ambi-
ton. Now, when he is unable to supply
all the demands of managers on both sides
of the water, he can look back on the
years when he maintained precarl-
Gus existence by writing short stories
for the magazines, without sigh OF re-
greet. His latest success, 1.-The ldier," IS
familiar TO American theater-goers, and 1T
only remains TO be told that it shared with
1.-The Dancing Girl" the theatrical honors
of the last London season. Mr.. Chambers
recently completed comedy IN three acts
which has been accepted by the ever
young and lovely Mrs. John Word for
production at the Court theater. He is
now hard at work on play, the Ameri-
can rights of which are vested in Daniel
Frohman.
Mr.. Chambers is slim young man,
with keen, smooth face, and singulariy
boyish appearance. When not working he
sometimes plays billiards necessarily, but
his most marked eccentricity is his fond
ness for the insecure perch afforded by the
''dickey" of handsom cab, and he is well
known among London cabmen as an en-
thusiastic amateur whip. Heis proficient
at swimming, shooting and the scientific
modification of the national game known
to real sport lovers as "tittle.crlcket." He
can also. upon occasion, knock out
much heavier man with the gloves. For
the rest, he likes to be well dressed, and is
fond of company.
Mr. Chambers has not yet tired of telling
his friends about his pleasurable expert
ences in New York In the fall of last year,
and means to pay many more visits to
this country

body polite with another or others for
success at all hazards; and TO create feel
ing that the only restraint upon such ac-
ton, or upon the action of its individuals,
in official station, should be fear of the op-
position. Fortunate it is that this last
restraint of competition exists.
The remedy for these things is not in
the abolition of political parties, nor is it
TO be found in the triumph of any organi-
cation or In the overflow of any other. 1t
is not in more perfect organization OF such,
but in less perfect. Or, perhaps better, as
there must be some organization. it lies in
entirely different ideas of the limitations
OF Organizations better understanding of
where it is needed, how it is to be used,
and when 1t must stop its work and disin-
tegrate.
Organization must always be subordinate
ed to organic growth; and to promote this
last there must be opportunity for every
part to grow. The cooperation must al
ways proceed from within, never from out
side constraint. Individual independence
of thought and of action is what should
be cultivated and encouraged. The senti-
ment of Loyalty to party alone, or as final,
should be discOuntenanced as moral alb
surdity. 1t is of the greatest consequence
to inculcate the notion that each man
may and ought to give effect in his own
way to his own ideas, formed by his own
independent thought. Impatience of die
tation on the one side and unwillingness
to constrain upon the other, is the healthy
condition.
1t thus appears that we should do
wrong to condemn all cooperative organi-
cations in the form of political parties. 1t
is only the selfishness of individuals that
should be restrained, and the tendency to
exaggerated notion of what cooperation
can do that should be corrected In this
way the greatest abuse of political parties
can be counteracted. That abuse is always
making the society, its organization and
its methods the chief end, forgetting
its original purpose. In the social
and political worlds the same law prevails
as governs the development of individual
character. When there is organized move
ment for social end outside of its own
preservation, it is in aid of progress with
all its rawbacks. But when its move
ments become self-centeIed, and its ends
its own power and advantage. it ceases to
be of social value. on the contrary, be-
comes an obstacle in the way of the real
ization of the common good.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Times DEM
ocrat's Tyler, Tex, special says: The
banking house of Bonner & Bonner has
been forced to the wall 1t has had sue
cessful career of twenty years and the rep
utation Oh being one of the soundest banks
in the state.
The news of the failure spread like
wild-fire and was the one topic of CONVEX
sation. 1t has been known by those
familiar with its affairs that the bank was
in straits, but all thought it would
be able to pull through. Yesterday
its paper went to protest in New
Orleans, and Receiver Campbell, of
the International & Great Northern
railway, ran an attachment against it for
1886, 2iS, being the amount due the receive
ership on deposit. There had been deeds
of trust executed by the bank as
guarantee for the railroad de-
posts. Receiver Campbell, think
ing the deposits still insufficiently
secure, ran attachment above'referred to.
The failure is in tact an assignment for the
benefit of certain preferred creditors and
depositors generally. Though the loss to
outside banks will be small, as
most Of them have Withdrawn their
balances or were secured. Individual
apd business deposits accounts were heavy
and losses will be severely felt. many men
losing the savings of years. The failure
will occasion no panic at other banks of
the city.
This evening the boot and shoe house of
White & Co., in which Bonner Bonner
were interested, made general assignment.
AS far as can be learned, the banks liza
bilites will exceed half million. The
assets are said to exceed the liabilities,
but as they consist of stocks and personal
paper it is not known whether they will
realize their face value.
