FREE DELIVERY.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the
Postmaster Generals report is that which
relates to the extension of the free delivery
service. It appears that the rural free de-
livery experiment is on trial in forty-six
communities. In two places, Hillsboro,
North Dakota, and Hanover, New Hamp-
shire, this service was begun, but was dis
continued because the postmasters failed to
procure responsible carriers for the maxi
mum compensation of 1912 per annum for
one or two hours service per day. In Ap-
pendix A appears tabulated statement
showing total increase of gross receipts in
thirty-nine out of the forty-six experimental
free delivery Offices amounting to Sc, ,215. 40,
and total decrease of gross receipts in
seven of the Offices, amounting to $707. 80.
This leaves balance of $5,506.10 of in
crease of gross receipts. This total of
excess of gross receipts over expenditures
is divided in the appended tables into
what is due to natural growth and what
is attributable to the freedelivery SER
vice. The excess of receipts due to nat
ural growth is obtained by comparing the
gross receipts of 1889 with those of 1890
for the same period; and the balance,
$S50.50, over and above the additional
cost, which is entirely an abnormal in
crease, is to be attributed to the free de-
livery.
This is a remarkable showing, especially
when it is considered that the establish
ment of the free delivery causes the patrons
of the Office in a large measure to discon-
tinue the box delivery system, and that
the Office consequently loses to some ex-
tent it's box rents out of the gross receipts.
The success of the experiments which have
been made moves the postmaster general
to recommend the passage of bill enti-
tling all towns with a apopulation of 5000 to
a free delivery.

A Plea.

I'm a stickler for the old things,
The old things, not the new,
When smoother ran the life of man,
And friends were ever true.
Then give me back those blessings
That never failed to please,
And when 1 die oh don't supply
Some new devised disease.
I want old typhus fever
No bacilli in mine
Or whooping cough to take me off
To regions more divine.
Don't ring in that "heart failure"
Nor PROSTATE every nerve,
For plain disease will grant me ease
And just as fifty serve.
And that fell ''tired feeling
venture to deride;
Ana no Pasteur my doubt can cure,
No Koch my faith abide.
So when old age has shattered
NY feeble mould of clay,
Just give me squills or big blue pills,
And let me fade away.

EAIR NOTES.
Miss Sarah B. Bodtker of Chicago, has
been awarded the prize offered for a
design for the official seal of the Worlds
Fair Board of Lady Managers. Miss
Bodtker was born in Norway, and came
to this country with her parents in her
childhood. She has lived in several
Western cities and in each has gained
reputation as most skillful designer and
executor of artistic needlework Her de-
sign represents the flag ship of Columbus,
and beneath it is the United States coat
of arms. There is star for each mem
symbolic of the success which is to crown
their work.
Mrs. Palmer, president of the board of
lady managers, has issued an invitation to
members of the board to contribute some
thing from the natural products of their
states to be used in the ornamentation of
the woman's building. Mrs. Richards of
Montana will furnish nails of gold, silver
and copper, these minerals being found
there in abundance, and these nails are to
finish the building. They are to be driven
in by Mrs. Palmer, who doubtless will
make herself mistress of the noble art of
ail-driving by the time this service is re-
quired. From the states of Wishing
ton and Kansas will be sent columns
of native marble, and from West Virginia
some of the beautiful native woods to be
used in finishing the interior of the build
ing. Connecticut, if it wishes to be heard
from, might furnish what seems to be a
"natural product" of the land of steady
habits-a clock with regular tick and re-
sonant striking of the hour. true to the
fraction of a second, reliable as the sun,
and with more of state pride than many

The growth of business in the South is

the appropriation for that purpose to slU,-
900, AMI that with the mandatory appropria-
tiOn OF $1,000 was all they could give.
Gen. di neSl.ola then asked how the trus-
tees should limit the time for free opening OF
the museum, as they would probably have to
do so IN View OF the smalihess OF the appro-
priation.
lie said that sunday opening has proven
the more POPULAR that 10000 persons WIS.,

WAS THE GIRL MURDERED ?
Her Dead Body Found in q

The dead body OF young colorcd woman,
as yet unrccosui2cd, was found AT l ocl0CE
this morning In tn" arcaway In front of .O3

woman lying near the entrance OF IA Chinese
laundry owned BY sam llOpp. Lie appeared
to be extinct, but Hogan summoned an am
bulance from the New York Hospital. The
ambulance surgeon, after examination, said
that she had been dead some time.
The woman was neatly dressed, and the
surgeons examination failed o ind evidence
OF external injuries.
Officer Hogan procured a stretcher and re-
moved the body 20 the West Thrty-sevcnth
