THE COLD SNAP.

The Ice Harvesting to Begin Early.
Owing to the continued cold snap ice
cutting will begin uncommonly early this
year. The ice on the New Haven Ice COM
pany's pond in Foxon will be attacked next
Monday If the cold weather holds till then
The ice there is six inches thick and may
be ten by Monday. The ice dealers are in
no great hurry, as the promise is good for
plenty of ice this season The New Haven
Ice company will not cut any blocks on
Lake Saltonstall this winter. The taking
of land for the double tracking of the
Shore Line railroad will interfere with the
present ice houses, as the line goes through
one of them. This will necessitate the
erection of new ice houses, and no ice will
be housed until the matter of taking of
the land is settled.

large crowd went to Lake Whitney
yesterday and enjoyed some fair skating.
A portion of the lake has been swept by
direction of the horse railroad company.
and 1t was here that the best ska ing was
found. One OF the detriments to the full
enjoyment Of the sport by ladies is the fact
that polo ia allowed on any portion of the
lake. The po1oists monopolize the best
parts of the Ice and make it dangerous fol
skaters who do not indulge in the game.

An Enterprisinx Postmaster.

An HANoE RE1bAnS FOSt"ABteTs
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat thus
speaks of New Haven's efficient post
master:
N. D. Sperry, of New Haven, is about
as well known as any politician in Conneo-
ticut. He has been long in the service,
but in enthusiasm and originality he
doesn't yield to the younger postmasters.
One of Mr.. Sperry's ideas is to turn his
postofice into q school of training. He
puts his clerks through an examination on
their duties now and then. They are
marked on the results, and the percentages
are given out to the force. A spirit of
competition for efficiency Is introduced
Some postmasters don't look beyond the
boundaries of their respective cities to see
If they can improve the service. Sperry
isn't one of these. He has recently been
dividing up his New Haven mail for New
York city 30 that the bundles are ready to
be sent at once to the different sub stations
in New York city. Some postrnasters
would grumble at this, and view it solely
az an act of accommodation for the New
York Office. Mr.. Sperry says that he is
able to 8. Q that by this additional work in
his Office he gets the letters OF his New
Haven people to their destinations in New
York city from two to Ave hours earlier
than they could otherwise be delivered,
and that warrants the extra labor In the
New Haven Office.
Several postmasters in towns suburban
to st. Louis have been induced to assert
their mail for st. Louis 80 that 1t will be
ready to 60 in bundles directly to sub
stations. This ma;ss great saving of
time In transit Il IL the same principle
that has recently been adopted on the
ocean steamers, and operates there with
great success. Formerly, whsn the steamer
reached New York the mail had to 20 TO
the New York Office to be sorted. Now Il
IL divided and bundled before arrival, and
goes forward without any delay in the
New York Office.
Sperry has rather taken the LEAD in this
idea Of dividing up mail In his Office 90 ss
TO expedite It's delivery upon arrival. The
department people think the idea grand
one. Fast mail schedules are all right.
But when the mail reaches city ready for
immediate delivery, or approximately go,
the saving Of time II very notable.
