1t is curious fact that the Camden
preachers are a prolific. source of rev.
enue TO nearly every hack driver in
Philadelphia. A formal agreement
exists between the two classes, which
provides that all marriage fees shall
be equally divided between the man
who marries the couple and the man
who drives them to the preachers
residence. In this manner a sharp
competition has developed, and the
most popular preacher is the one who
numbers the largest following of enter
prising hack drivers. AS a general

delivery window of the postoffice was
always crowded. One week the mails
were delayed for several days, and
when they were at last distributed the
line of inquirers at the general deliv-
cry window of the postoffice extended
for six blocks. A man who fell in line
in the early morning got to the win
dow and received his mail about eight
o'clock in the evening. One old lady,
who had plenty of time on her hands,
took with her a camp-stool and her
lunch basket and camped right there
on the line. She received no letter,
and turned away apparently happy,
although she had waited in the line
for seven hours. When this mail ae-
cumuiated the postmaster made no at
tempt to distribute the newspapers.
They were simply piled up in one
corner, and finally a wagonload of
newspaper mail was carted away from
the postoffice. To be distributed ?
