THE NEW POSTAL CAR.

car. Here the real work Of the postal
clerk who is aboard the mail car be-
gins As he flies out from the depot Of
the Brooklyn, Bath & West-End rail-
way he plunges into the New Brook
Ign, a region of farms with hamlets
and villages scattered here and there.
He receives and delivers mail at these
stations: West Brooklyn, Blythebourne,
Van Pelt Manor, Bath Beach, Benson
hurst, Gravesend Beach and Coney Is
land, from which point the mail goes
to Gravesend.
The clerk on the car opens the
pouches as they come aboard, and if,
for instance, he receives at West
Brooklyn mail for an Office a mile
away, he includes it in the pouch he
puts off there. He is assisted by the
fact that the postmasters carefully sort
out the local mail and put it in the
mouths of their sacks. This mail was
formerly conveyed to the main office
in Brooklyn, and there sorted and sent
to its destination. Thus letters for
West Brooklyn from Blythebourne,
which is only a mile distant, would
travel about fifteen miles before reach
ing their destination, and would be
more than twenty-four hours on their
travels. Now the longest delay be-
tween mailing and delivery is not more
than four hours, except in the night
time, and letter may reach its des-
tination fifteen minutes after it is
posted.
Postal authorities all over the coun-
try are watching the experiment with
the trolley. Some big cities, like Chi
cago, have sent representatives, who
have gone over the route with Mr..
Charles Lyon, the superintendent of
mails. Chicago's enormous suburbs are
pierced in all directions by the trolley,
and there is little doubt that the
Brooklyn idea transplanted there will
flourish. 1t is also like. to be adopted
in serving the suburbs of New York.

A Fill Judge Who Twsnged . Jews Harp
While Hearing Csses.

The natives of Fiji are amenable to a
criminal code known as the native reg
ulations These are administered by
two courts, the district court, which
sits monthly and is presided over by a
native magistrate; and the provincial
court, which assemblies every three
months before the English and native
magistrates sitting together. In South
Sea Yarns" Basil Thomson gives an
amusing account of the district court:
The courthouse, native building
carpeted with mats, is now packed
with natives, sitting cross-legged, only
a small place being reserved in front OF
the table for the accused and the wit
nesses. The magistrate takes his seat,
and his scribe, sitting on the floor at
his side, prepares his writing materials
to record the sentences.
The dignity with which the judge
adjusts his shirt collar and clears his
throat is little married when he pro-
duces from his bosom jew's-harp with

The first case is called. Samuela and
Timothe, two meek-faced youths Of
eighteen and nineteen, sitting tailor
fashion before the table, are charged
with fowl stealing. They plead: Not
Guilty" and the owner of the fowls,
being sworn, deposes that having been
awakened at night by the voice of a
favorite hen in angry remonstrance, he
ran out of his house, and after a hot
chase captured the accused red-handed
in two senses, for they were plucking
his hen while 1t vas still alive, . .

an exuberance of spirits, which would

at the battle of Franklin, Tenn, and
on March 2, 1867, he was brevetted
-brigadier general for gallant service at
the battle of Gettysburg. For some
time he served as a member of the re-
firing board. The period from Septem-
Der /, 1871, to September l, 1876, was an
eventful one for Gen. Ruger, as it COW
cred his service as superintendent of
the United States military academy at
West Point. He is remembered by the
officers who received their training I'M
der him as strict disciplinarian and
man of remarkable military learning
and executive ability. His next charge
was the command of the department of
the south from September s, 1876, to
July l, 1878. From the latter date to
April II, 1879, he was in charge of the
regiment and post at Atlanta. He was
next transferred to the northwest and
was in command at Fort Assinniboine
and at Helena, department of Montana,
until 1885. The infantry and cavalry
school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
next came under his charge and he
served there until April 8, 1886, when
he was transferred to the department
of the Missouri and later to the de-
partment of Dakota, March 10, 1886,
he was made brigadier general in COM
mand of the department of Dakota,
with headquarters at st. Paul. He
made fine record in the field during
the Pine Ridge Indian campaign Of
1891. He was transferred from the Da-
kota division to the department of
California, where he now is. Gen.
Ruger is about fifty-eight years of age
and is very genial and accomplished
man, well liked by his fellow officers.
He has a wife and a daughter, Miss
Nellie Ruger.

pounds, thus reducing the ratio to one
to four or five.
A large part of this triumph of engi-
neering skill is due to the construction
of the boiler. 1t is one of the water
tube type and cross between the Oar
row and Thornecroft patterns, used in
the latest British torpedo boats. The
tubes are of sheet copper, the inside set
having diameter of only half an inch
and the outside ones only three-six-

GEN. THOMAS H. RUGER.
May Be Put in Charge of the Chi
cago Headquarters.
The Gallant Record of the Probable Sue
cessor to Gen. Miles, Who Is to Take
Gen. Towards Place on Gov
ernor's Island.

Gen. Thomas II. Ruger, who is spoken
of by United States army men as prac-
tically certain to succeed Gen. Nelson
A. Miles in the department Of the Mis-
souri,, with headquarters in Chicago, Is
now located at San Francisco in charge
of the California division. He entered
upon his cadetship at West Point July
!, 1850, and graduated just four years
later, taking rank as lieutenant and
serving as assistant in charge of con-
,structing the defenses on the APP
proaches to New Orleans. This occu-
pied him until 1855, when he resigned
and the following year engaged in the
practice of law in GAINESVILLE, Wis. At
the outbreak of the civil war, in 1861,
he promptly enlisted, and from July of
that year until August of the next he
had command of regiments in Mary
land and the valley of the Shenandoah.
Subsequently he did excellent and i'm
portant service in preventing the as
sembling of the confederate legislature
at Frederick, Md. Among the many
important battles in which he partici-
pated may be mentioned those Of Win
chester, May rs, 1862; Cedar Mountain,
August Q, 1862, and Antietam, Septem-
Der II, 1862. From June, 1865, to 1865
he was in command Of the department
OF North Carolina, being mustered out
June Is, 1866. He was reappointed to
service as colonel of the Thirty-third
infantry July %, 1866. He served in
command of a regiment at Macon, Ga,
until February, 1867.
He was brevetted major general Of

Quite unmoved by this tragic UaIe,
Vatureba seems to listen only to the
melancholy notes of his jew's-harp; but
the witness is chief and a man of I'M
fuence withal, and period of awed
silence follows his accusation, broken
only by a subdued twanging from the
bench. The judge has not yet opened
his lips during the case, and as tho
jew's-harp is not capable of much eK-
preston, it is with some interest that
we await the sentence.
Suddenly the music ceases, the In
strument Is withdrawn from tho
mouth, the oracle is about to speak.
Alasl he utters but two words: "Vula
tolu" three months), and there pealsI
out a Indignantly triumphant strain
from the jew's-harp.
But the prosecutor starts up with 3
protest. One of the accused Is his
nephew, he explains, and he only
wished light sentence to be imposed.
Three months for one fowl is so severe;
besides, if the boy has three months, he
must go to the central Jail and not
work out his sentence in his own dis,
trict. ,
Again there is silence, and the voice
of the jew's-harp has changed from tri-
umph to thoughtful melancholy. At
length it ceases, and the oracle speaks
again: "Bogi tolu" Three days..
