THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT..
Some Subjects Treated OF In Mr.. Wan
makers Annual Report.

Some Sutoects Treated OF In Mr.. Wan a
makers Annual Report.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is putting
the finishing touches on his annual report. As
usual he is giving good deal of attention to
the preparation of his report, and in order that
he may have the working hours of the day un-
interrupted he remains at home 1t is probable
that the report will be completed and ready to
be given out about the latter part of next
week. Mr.. Wanamakers review of the work of
the year in postal affairs is given in the direct
concise style of a business man, but perhaps
the most interesting feature is his
outline of suggestions for improvements
and extension of the facilities of the mail serv-
ice. In this line that portion of the report
which treats of the experiments made in the
extension of the free delivery service TO
small towns will be read with a good
deal OF interest He will give the figures
based on actual experiments, which tend to
demonstrate that such a service has resulted in
increased business TO say nothing OF the great
convenience to residents in small country places
of having their mail brought regularly TO their
homes. He will urge larger appropriation in
order that the system may be exte nded-
THE POSTAL SUBSIDY LAW.
Another important phase of the Post Office
Department management will be brought out
in the account given of the steps taken to carry
out the postal subsidy law. Mr.. wanamaker will
refer to the historic significance of this new
movement in postal affairs and to the fact that
it has been twenty years slnce the government
has sought TO give encourages meut to the ship
building industry by the payment of a subsidy
While he will be unable TO announce that the
awards under the recent letting have been
made yet he can state that they will soon be
made, and the prospects are favorable that iu
the course of a few months the mails of the
United States to some of the foreign ports at
least will be carried in vessels manned by
American sailors and owned by Americans.
THE WAR oS THE LOTTERY COMPANY.
The condition Of the prolonged warfare that
has been carried on by Mr.. Wanamaker against
the lottery company will be briefly described,
the main items of importance being the fact
that indictments are now pending against tie
officers Of the company in several states, and
that the business has been greatly impaired.
The subject of postal telegraph will not be
forgotten and Mr.. Wanamaker will demonstrate
that he is much in earnest as ever in ad-
vocacy of this measure, which will enable the
government to transmit teisgrams Just as
it now does letters Reference viii be
made to the plan just inaugurated
of receiving reports from county-seat postmas-
tiers in relation to the condition and manage
ment of Offices in their respective counties. Up
to date reports have come in from over 2 0O0
postmasters covering upward OF Sc, 200 Offices.

How rare it is to see a hale, hearty,
vigorous old man like this, who is adj
vanced in years but is good for many
years more. Too often we see old men
and aged women weak, broken, sickly,
constantly suffering, miserable most of
the time.
They look back upon their early years
with longing, and they look forward
with dread. And yet no matter how
much their constitution may have been
impaired, there is no reason why they
should not live the rest of their days in
health and comparative strength. This
has been done by many in the past, and
is being done by more to-day. There is
a way for those who care to follow it.
Do you ask what this way is? We an
swer, by the use of that great life-givcr
and strength imparter, Hunts Remedy.
1t is not only tonic, but a food for the
life. 1t awakens to healthful action the
sluggish liver, the weakened kidneys. the
poor circulation. 1t makes the blood
better and gives warm glow to the
system. 1t has been used for more than
fifty years, and is unquestiOnably the
best of all modern discoveries. Read
