10 BENEFI7 JACK TAR
The Navy Department to Push n Bin In
Congress TO Tighten His Burdens.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-Among the recon-
mendations to DO made by Secretary Tracy in
his annual report will be nn endorsement OF
the efforts OF the department to secure tho
epactment Of legislation looking to promote
the efficiency OF the enlisted force OF tho navy.
The improvement In this branch OF service has
not kept Pace with tho rapid growth OF the new
navy. chiefly because Jack has no friends at
court and proposed legislation for his benefit
and a corresponding benefit to the navy itself
has been allowed to lie upon the calendars
OF the House Enacted upon. Commodore RAM
say Chief Of the Bureau Of Navigation. is de-
termlned to accomplish something this year.
and the recommendations which he will mako
in his annual report will be endorsed by Sec
rotary Tracy In the last Congress tho some

The Postonca Slta.

Editor Morning NelOs: The allusion in
Tuesdays paper to Reynolds square as site
for the new postofice is one that ought to
be followed up. Ever since the first talk
about the new public building have been
convinced that Reynolds square is the place
for 1t, and that no other location is any
thing like so desirable.
There is only one reasonable objection,
and that is the closing up of the square for
any purpose. Not much weight goes with
this objection. There is little or no need of
an open square in that locality-lt is so near
the river and the adjacent dwellings are apt
soon to disappear and give place to business
blocks. The market occupies square, and
nobody is any the worse for it,
The reasons for the proposed site being
adopted are many and overwhelming.
will mention only few:
The postoff1ce ought to be near Bay street
not on Bay street, but near it. We are a
commercial city and want the postofice
somewhere near the commercial center. 1t
is too far away now, and iu would be an
unfortunate mistake to put up the new
building as far uptown as anywhere near
South Broad street. About johnson
square Is the ideal location. but Reynolds
square is very nearly as good.
1t is nearly impossible to get site with
sufficient frontage, or with the requisite
Isolation. Reynolds square is exactly the
thing; placed in the center of the square
the building would be surrounded entirely
by splendid wide streets and present an i'm
posing appearance. The adjoining property
owners would have no cause to object to
closing the square; their holdings would
speedily be doubled in value
Ihe city might donate the site on condi-
tion that sufficient appropriation be made
tor a really noble structure, or it might get
enough for such "gilt-edge" site to pave
with asphalt not only the streets around the
new building, but street or two besides.
The writer has no "ax to grind" of any
sort whatever, only he thinks the new post
once ought to be in Reynolds square. Let
tne people speak! Once located there every
Dooy Will wonder how any other site could
ever have been thought OF than

Rebuking a Greedy Client.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record.


A Philadelphia lawyer, now dead. who
hed national reputation, having been
nonored with high positions Of trust both
az washington and Harrisburg, was famous
LOT his tremendous charges. One day a
chent for. whom he had collected S. 500
called at his Office to receive the money,
ana the lawyer handed him a check for
SIOO. The client looked at 1t and remarked
mat the lawyer must have made a mistake,
and had given him the check which he
meant to keep for his fee. LET me look at
the check, said the attorney, and, glanc.
ing over it, he declared that it was all
right, and no mistake had been made. The
client kicked against a fee Of 81, 400 for coll
Letting 81, 500.
20, well, if you want to be -hog about
IL, take that" said the man of laws, i'm
patiently, and he wrote out another check.
IL was for $50, and with that he had to be
content, the lawyer pocketing the 81 1850.
