THE time Is possibly not far distant
when most Of the letter carrying in this
country viii be done by pneumatic tubes,
ut rate Of speed that will make the
present service seem wretchedly slow.
Letters, books and papers were carried the
other day from the Philadelphia post~office
to branch Office in few seconds. The
apparatus worked perfectly and all the
post-ofice officials from Mr.. Wanamaker
down declared it great success. The
New York and Philadelphia will soon be
carried through pneumatic tube, and ten
minutes viii suffice for the transit.

A Marvellous Fall.

Worlds Fair grounds at Chicago, never
got astride of horse with such celebrity OF
with so resounding a whaek as he did
shortly after 9 o'clock last Thursday
morning His mount was involuntary.
but il saved his life.
Pat was working on the roof of the hide
and leather building. A dozen other men
were with him. The March wind came
soughlng along the caves and sEeeping
along the great expanse ofroofng, and the
men found it difficult to keep their equiH
brium.
Suddenly Pat stumbled and pitched for
ward A cry for help came to his lips
His companions turned and saw him roll
ling over and over down the steep incline
of the roof, disappearing over the edge
No one expected to again see Pat alive.
The roof Of the hide and leather building
is sixty feet from the ground. Fate was
kind TO Pat.
On the ground beside the building was a
horse attached to a grocer's wagon. Tue
horse stood Immediately under the point
of the roof over which Pat disappeared
The imminent danger of being struck By
man tumbling through space had no pow
er to disconcert him. He stood still, and
with a mighty thud Pat came down and
struck fair upon the hoTse's back.
Almost before he knew what had hap
pened he was astride the animals back
and wondering how he had got there. A
crowd gathered in a minute and stopped
the horse, which had started off.

Without any assistance Pat got of the

Some Clever Detective Work For

An Injunction Against the City Of

Chicago, July 3.-Postoflice Inspector
j. f. Stuart of Chicago returned today
from Port Huron with a great feather in
his cap. So important was the case that
the thanks of the Canadian government
have been extended to him for his hard
work. He did in seven days dressed as
tramp what the entir5 force of post
office inspectors Of Canada, the police
authorities of the Grand Trunk and
thirty United States postotlice inspectors
failed to do in two years. For two years
the loss of mail upon the Grand Trunk,
including American pouches consigned
to Canada and mail from Montreal and
Toronto consigned to all western states,
has been source of great annoyance to
Canada and the United States. At last
the matter became unbearable t.
the Canadian government and
Postmaster General Blssell was
asked to assign Maj. j. f. Stuart to the
case with all power to act. He saw
Charles Ford. superintendent of repairs
for the Grand Trunk at Port Huron, for
years one of the most trusted employees
enter car, remove valuable letters from
pouches and deftly seal the pouches

Stuart placed him under arrest. A
crowd gathered and protested but Stuart
took his prisoner to quiet place ano
discovered on Ford's person 2''o letters.

NUMBER 13
Growth of Electric Traction.

The growth of electric traction in this
country is one of the most marvellous
developments of the century. A leading
street railway journal draws attention
to the fact that in the past five years the
mileage of street railways operated by
electricity has increased from so miles to
over 6,000 miles, which is greater mile
age than that of all the other street rail-
ways in the country operated by both
animal and other forms of motive power.
Of this large total nearly one-third was
built in 1892. No estimate has yet been
given of the aggregate increase in value
in suburban property that has been i'm
proved by the running of new electric
lines, but the amount must be enormous,
as large proportion of late installations
have been in suburban districts, partic.
ularly in the east
In July, 1890, the street railway mileage
of the country was $3.50 miles. AT the
present time it reaches total of II, $50
miles, or an increase of 5000 miles in the
past 2t years, During 1892 there was an
additional increase of / .0G0 miles. Some
of these lines have been introduced in
the most crowded parts of large cities,
where it is admitted that cable traction
would be more economical. The reason
for this lies probably in the fact that it
from electric to cable power simply for
the short distance than to retain the sys-
TEN already in operation.

Will Repeal His Bill-liis Views
on the Subject.
What the New York Post Has to Say
Anent the Financial Trouble
The Worst Not Over.

4 Cu,cAGo. July 3.-"rhere has never
been time since the law of 1890 known
as the Sherman act, was passed that |
would not have voted for its repeal, said
Senator John Sherman at the Lexington
hotel today. "The Sherman act was "a
compromise measure and it was passed
to save the country from a free coinage
bill that had been passed by the senate
by an overwhelming majority, Demo
Gratis helped to pass the Sherman bill
and now they abuse it and blame it for
all the financial woes Of the nation. |
have told Messrs. Cleveland ant. Carlisle
that will stand with them FOR sound,
safe, stable currency. Cleveland in OPP
posing silver is fighting threefourths of
his party. Of course ! have my own
ideas about what should be done, and
when the matter comes up in congress l
will have my say think the Sherman
law will be repealed, but the danger is
that congress may go too Far. Shodid
the clause providing tor the purchase OF
4.JOO,0OO ounces of silver monthly be
stricken out it would be well. But if
congress shoul go on and repeal the
clause providing that the United States
shall maintain the parity between gold
and silver coins, it would cause wide
spread distrust There is in the treas,
ury 3GO.O0O,00O of coined silver dollars
and li0. 100000 in uncoined bullion The
legal tender of these coins must be pre-
served and their parity maintained. 1t
is well enough to stop further mintage
of silver, but that in circulation must be
sustained. 10 stop making silver dol.
lars would not impair the usefulness OF
those already made SO long as the gov
ernment guaranty is back of them. The
present stringency is caused 10y the ap-
prehension of the mercantile and tinan-
cial world that we will not meet our
obligations in gold but will pay in cheap
money | believe we should have d
sound, safe currency on ii gold basis
The action of India with regard to silver
is not conclusive. 1t is in the nature OF
an eyperimpnt.
