A Worlds Fair Post Office.

1t is reported that it is the inten-
ton of the Government to establish
at the Exposition Grounds a COM
plete Post Office, equal in capacity
to that required by a city of 200, 900
or more inhabitants, and to operate
it, not only during the Fair, but
for sevra1 months previous to the
opening and after the closing. A
Government Post Office Inspector
is now on the grounds perfecting
plans and estimates. 1t is believed
that the number of exhibitors will
be between 10000 and I75,ooo.
To these mail will be delivered
hourly. Mails, sorted on the mail
cars, will be dropped at the ground
from incoming trains whenever
possible. At rough estimate, this
ExpositionPost Office will require
about 900 employees and entail an
expense of about $25o,ooo on the
part of the Government.

DOLLARS VERY SCARCE.

Every collector, almost every
merchant doing business and, in
fact, nearly everybody about town
is complaining of the tightness OF
money. Those engaged in mer-
camille pursuits allege that in years
they have not met with such a
prolonged period when Uncle
Sans legal tenders were SO scarce.
Loans are utterly ,inobtainabie
without gilt-edged security, and
even then big bonuses are de-
manded. A number of firms, it is
said are seriously embarrassed, and
the amount of paper on the mar
ket is astonishing. Doctors and
professional men find it an impos-
si5ility to collect bills for services
rendered and they feel the strain
severely.
Whether the grip epidemic had
anything to do with creating this
panickery state of affairs or not is
a phase of the question unan-
swered, but unless times improve
in short time there will be
several financial crashes.

Economy.

AS anticipated the Housl OF
Representatives is going to cut
down appropriations having
already commenced with the West
Point appropriation. Everybody
likes economy-foy the ether .fslloao.
But are there not some appropri-
ate fields for reduction that Ho1-
man ought not to overlook and
about which we may all agree !?
There are for example funeral
holidays, junketings and eulogies.
These eulogies in four instances
last year cost for printing alone
thirty five thousand dollars. And
why should the people pay nine
thousand each, to say nothing of
the time spent for eulogizing dead
congressman 2 The monotonously
fulsome funeral oratory has no
value for the dead and little for
the living. The printing of eulo-
gies is a single item. The whole
printing bill shows many super
huities. The printing Of thou
sands of bills proposed in Congress
is probably convenience if not
necessity, but one cannot help
thinking as his butter comes from
the grocery time after time
covered by a "Bill for the relief of
John Jones or a bill for this, that
and the other, that if Uncle Sam
would sell the imprinted virgin
sheets they would make nicer
wrappers and cost him less.

Courtesy.

Courtesy on the part of a public
officer is one of the best qualities
he can possess. His pleasant man
ners do very much to make him
popular and insure the friendship
of others. A pompous, self opin-
nionated man is unfit to hold an
office. He repels every advance
that friendly and courteous per-
son may make, and his fr1gidity
and self Importance makes his So
ciety like a blast from the north
pole, and that government or cor
porat1on SO unfortunate as to
have such a man in office, will
suffer. Thoughtlessness is no ex-
cuse for want of courtesy.

advs. Perhaps no one does, but it
is we'll known to newspaper stu.
dents that if an cad" is left out SO
as to necessitate the slightest
change in the makeup, hundreds
of people notice it. Some time
ago the YoutA's Combanton tried an
experiment with its advertising
and was surprised at the results it
obtained from local papers. And
the Dixon pencil works thinks it
pays better to advertise in a small
space in many papers than to put
the same money into larger adj
vertisement in few papers. There
are more families who depend on
their local paper for information
than on any of the larger, and the
idea that everybody reads great
dailies is all nonsense, It is true of
this city as we'll as of a remote farm
ing region. News is what men want,
and your "ad" can be made news.
The majority of readers of Seu1ner's,
Harper's, all the great dailies, do
not realize that some of the finest
articles are simply advertisements
are what are known as write
ups" These papers cater to class:
your town paper caters to it's. Your
adv. is read by somebody if it is
worth reading: but too often advs.
are worded SO as to repel instead
of attract. In advertising, you
must use good medium and make
the "adv." attractive.

bonnet sociable is that all the
ladies take withthem an untrim-

trimmings and needles, thread
and thlmbles. Then the hats and
fixings are allotted by chance to
the men who are present and each
tries his skill at trimming the
hat given him. The results great
amusement. Prizes are offered for
the best trimmed hat or bonnet,
also for the worst trimmed, and

making love to any gentlemen
they may deem worthy of their
