Heavy Additional Expenses

To establish one general Office and
at the same time give to the patrons
of the stations TIE same advantages of
service they now have, would entail an
additional expense TO the government,
for each station should have money
order, a registry and Il general deliy-
cry department which would require
practically the same Office force as now
employed. Besides there would be re-
quired seven OF eight additional car
riers and the several distributing
clerks for incoming mail trains.
Unless the general Office could be
established in this way, improving the
service at West Superior without in
iurimI the service at Superior OF South
superior, then the consolidation should
not be effected at this time.

Inspector Siuart"s Report

Hon. James l.. Stuart, the post of
fee Inspector sent here to view the
situation in connection with the con
solidation of our post Offices, has made
his report. The report as a whole

excellent advertising medium for Or

only as it exists today, but as our PEG
lie picture it III years to come, is ella
b0raIely set forth III very attractive

our columns, but in as brief space as
possible W. will give Mr. Stuart's sd

HENRY ST. GEORGE TUCKER.

st. George Tucker in congress from 1916
to 1919, and that he afterward became
presiding justice Of the Virginia court of
appeals.
John Randolph Tucker, son of the
elder Henry st. George, comes more
within the purview of living generations,
and his career as q member of the house
from 1875 to 1887 is recent and well
known enough to need no recounting
here. He retired from congress to make
way for his son and is enjoying his hale
old age in his native state, devoting him
self to the duties of his law professor
ship at the Washington and Lee univer-
sity.
The present Henry st. George Tucker
is now serving his third term in the
house, which he entered in 1889. He is
40 years old, and, like his father, was
born at Winchester. He was educated
at Washington and Lee, taking his A. M.
degree in 1875 and his B. L. in 1875.
After that he devoted himself to prac.
ticing law at Staunton, where he re.
sides, until he was elected to congress.
He has " held any other public Office.

NURSE male orders or
the Roman church. The Methodists
followed the Episcopalians, the general
conference of five years ago establishing
the order and prescribing the duties and
government of it's members.
The Presbyterians have discussed the
matter in several general assemblies and
many presbyteries, but have generally
voted against the order on the ground
that it is mot Biblical" Professor
Charles A. Briggs, who is under suspen-
sion for heresy, was an earnest advocate
Of the order. and it may be of interest to
note that his daughter has entered the
school FOR the training of deaconesses
connected with Grace Episcopal church
in New York city, though she cannot
enter the order in that church, as she is
not an Episcopalian.
The training and duties of the members
of the order in the different sects are
very similar. They are required to be
unmarried women not under 25 years of
age and to spend at least two years in
special training for their work. The
Methodist deaconesses are divided into
two classes, visiting deaconesses and
nurse deaconesses. The former devotes
her whole time to ministering to the
poor, the sick, the orphan and the sinful
and to such other Christian work as may
be suited to her abilities. Her training
involves much Biblical and doctrinal
study, but practical work is not by any
means neglected.
The nurse deaconess, in addition to
her Bible study, receives thorough in
struction in general and medical nurs-
ing. Her time is entirely devoted to the
sick poor, and cots, clean linen, a wash
erwoman and the services of a physician
are at her command if she finds them
necessary. Her services are given to the
suffering entirely free, but always with
a view of ministering to their spiritual
as well as their physical needs. These
women are bound by no vows and are
free to sever their connection with the
order at any time. They may reside
with their families or at the various
homes which have been established for
them in most of the large cities. Most
of them prefer the community life, and
it is of undoubted assistance in keeping
them interested in their work.
