Tho Reading Eoe,tiag Woria, Democratic
pays the following compliment to the man
agement of the post office in that city,
What is here said can be applied to many
post offices in this county: The "rascals" in
charge Of the Reading post Office are now
running this important institution in a most
oredit2ele manner, a condition Of affairs that
gives great subsection to everybody, eX-
cepting, of course, the hungry few crying
"turn the rascsls out-and put US in !" AT
the Board of Trade banquet the other even
ing Assistant Postmaster Kenney gave some
statistics regarding the Office that were as
surprising to many present as they were
agreeable It is all too true that the people
never think Of the post office at all when it
is progressing admirably, but think and talk
of it a great deal when the slightest hitch in
the machinery takes place. This, however,
is one Of the pecularites of our human
nature We do not think at all Of our we'll
days, nor do we pay much attention to
pleasant weather Hence the post office Off
cials must ever regard the silence of the
people as the best evidence of approval on
their part of the manner in which the big
and rapidly growing mail business Of this
city is conducted

Approaching weddlnss.

There is much talk of weddings at this
timea and if all reports are true many of our
fair aequaintances and popular young men

stood that Miss Kate james, daughter of Rev.
H. G, James, and Richard T. Knight at
present in the western part of the state, will

The public is responding quite generously
to the appeal for the relief of the widows
and orphans fund of Watkin Waters Post,
No. las, G A. R.. and the fair now being held
in Robbins opera house for that purpose is
being well patronized. As the drawings
upon the fund have been quite heavy for
several months past however considerable
return will be required to affect proper
replenishment and it is hoped generous
response to the appeal will be continued for a
few more days. Last night the attendance
at the fair was very satisfactory. The prize
last night was can of lard and was won by
Charles FitZsimmons, little boy who helps
to support his widowed mother by working
in the breaker. There Will be an extraOr-
dinary bill Of attraction at the fair tonight,
but no increase will be made in the charge
for admission.

Interest in the selection of some one to fiji

by the expiration Of Mr.. L, A. Freemans

the same with other refreshments and
various recreations." The mallet with
which Washington gave the official
stroke is still preserved by his lodge as a
precious memento.
In 1895 active work on both the or
iginal wings was pushed rapidly, and in
1900 the present supreme court room
and law library room were ready for
senate and house respectively. In 1903
active work was resumed, and in 1911
both the old wings were completed.
Plans for the connecting section and
dome were under discussion when the
war came. and in 1914 the British got
in their work. The walls and much of
the finest woodwork escaped the fire
they kindled, and all the sandstone and
freestone at all affected was replaced by
Potomac marble. Still the capitol was
an odd looking affair, resembling, says
Washington Irving, who saw it in this
stage, two imitation Greek temples with
q very attenuated connection. The city
was contemptuously compared by New
Workers. to a daddy long legs sprawled
all over the mass of Potomac mud"
March "a, 1918, Charles Bulfnch of
Boston laid the foundation of the center
building and served as architect till 1880,
completing rotunda and dome. And
this was the capitol of the United States
for about 30 years. Earlyin 1850 jefferson
Davis brought forward a proposition to
build the present north and south wings,
and at his request Robert Mills, artist
and architect, drafted a plan which met
with unanimous and enthusiastic ap-
prevail. Congress agreed to the plan,
Thomas q. Walter Of Philadelphia was
appointed architect, and on July 4, 1851,
President Fillmore laid the cornerstone
of the new south wing, Daniel Webster
was orator of the day, spoke two hours
and according to the journals Of the
time made the greatest effort Of his
life"
Work on the great dome went for
ward without ceasing through the war
and on Dec. 2, 1858, Crawford's colossal
statue Of Freedom was placed on the
summit and saluted by 455 guns fired
from the forts around Washington. Ii
1854 the dome and eastern portico of thu
north wing were completed. In 1885,
the stone work Of the capitol was pro
nounced done, and soon Brumidi and hi
brother artists had completed their mag
nificent designs. The total cost of tn,
capitol is $14, SOC, 900. including the ter
races, which cost $500, 600. Additional
works of art have made the total abou
$40, 600, 900. As the capitol has grow

MALTA, July =. The saving of the
warship Camperdown, which collided
with the warship Victoria, is said to be
due TO the presence of mind of a Maltese
stoker. Although off duty at the time
OF the collision, he voluntarily ran be-
low and closed the watertight doors.
Before he had completed this task the
water was mp to his neck. The ad-
miralty will promote the stoker and

story of his GOODNESS and bravery be

oils are most prominent. If every place
be counted in which the various con-
crosses from 1865 down did any legisia-
tive acts, the present n at Washington
may be called our eighth national CAPT
toll. 1t is of the little satires of our
language that the building is only dis
tinguished from the city in which it
is located by inserting an o for an q.
the latter name tracing back to the
Latin for head" and the former to the
capitolium or temple of Jupiter on the
Mons Capitoliums. where the Roman SEN
ate met.
b The year 1898 was, rs aforesaid, indeed
a time of terror. The Indians, victorious
over Harmer and St. Clair, threatened
the whole western frontier. Citizen Ge-
net had been in the country just long
enough not to be found out and to set the
partisans OF France wild with enthusi-
asm. In August came the yellow fever.
In two months one-eighth of the popula-
ton of Philadelphia had died, and over
half the others had fed to the mountains.
Alexander Hamilton was Frustrated by
it, but recovered, and all the cabinet la
dies fed. Mrs. Washington and family
went to Mount Vernon. and on Sept. 0
the president followed.
1t is little wonder, therefore, that the
slow moving journalists of those days
gave but scanty accounts Of the impor-
tant ceremonies of Sept. Is. The Column
bian Mirror of Alexandria, Va, of the
25th and the Maryland Gazette of An
napolis OF the Goth gave the fullest ac-
counts. According to these the process
sion marched two abreast under the
command of Clotworthy Stephenson Sin

flying, drums beating and spectators re-
joicing, from Presidents square tnow
Washington circle to the hill selected
for the capitol"
In the line, says The Mirror, were the
surveying corps of the city of Washing
ton. the mayor and corporation Of
Georgetown, the Virginia artillery, the
commissioners of the city of Washing
ton, the s~tonemasons, woodchoppers,
etc., at work on the site and a vast array
of Masons with all the insignia Of the
order, such as the Bible, wands, trunch-
cons, swords, etc. There were also a few
church wardens, vestrymen and other
officials Of neighboring churches. After
the usual Masonic ceremonies the grand
marshal delivered to the commissioners
and the commissioners to President
Washington a large silver plate, which
he deposited in the recess prepared in
the cornerstone, then gave the Masonic
tap, and the stone was put in it's place.
On the silver plate was a lengthy in
scription giving all the particulars.
Clotworthy Stephenson then delivered
an address, 10 ''salvos of artillery" were
then fired in honor of the states, and
then the assembled multitude fell upon

hood could supply, which had been bar
becued for the occasion, and devoured
