The football Is rather smaller than that
used at EtoL and is made of wicker
work. Those who join in the game ar
range themselves in "A wide circle and
kick the ball from one to another with
the inside, or, at times. with the fiat of
the foot. The object Of the players Is
to keep the ball passing about without
its ever touching the ground or the hand
OF any one. Great dexterity is shown
in this performance. and the ball IL
usually Kicked To "A very respectable

exacted froIAa player who may kick the
ball badly or fail to kick it ar all.

Superintendent Flint and His Men
Doing Double Duty-Not a Sign
of the White Feather.

The letter-carriers, who have been gath
erlng adipose tissue during the past two or
three weeks. are confronted with a cOndi-
ton that fills them with dismay. The time
for relaxation that came with the inter-
ruptiOn of travel and the stOppage of the
mails has passed away, and those who
have been carrying empty pouches and
making short trips will to-day stagger
along their old routes with sacks pressed
down, shaken together aud running over.
The Walla Walla came down from Sc
attic yesterday carrying in her hold the
accumulated letters and papers that were
mailed In New York. Boston, Phladel-
phia, Washington and other Eastern cities
on the Sd, 4th, 9Th and 9th of July. There
were $500 sacks and pouches and many
packages OF registered matter. The blue
wagons made many trips to the wharf.
and long before the hour of noon the side
walk in front of the office on jackson
street was hidden under a stack Of bags
six feet high. The Scriptural injunction
to keep holy the Sabbath day was as
effectual upon the clerks and suDerlntend-
ents as he injuDctions issued by the
learned Judges of the United States courts
are upon the strikers. The postoffc was
a hive of industry, and when it was found
preparing the great mass of mail matter
for delivery this morning, the clerks OF the
railway service were sent to their assist
ance. They toiled all day and until late
hour in the evening, and when they de-
parted the carriers loads were ready for
them.
Mail arrived from Los Angeles at 12:45
o'clock in the afternoon, and later the
mail for Portland, Ogden and Los Angeles
were sent out. Eight carloads of delayed
overland mail are on the way from Ogden
to this city and will probably arrive to-
day.
Superintendent Flint and his $50 clerks
have been very busy since the beginning
of the strike. He and they have been do
ing double duty and are now looking for
ward with eagernesS to the termination of
The conflict. The clerks have encountered
many dangers since labor declared war
against capital They have ridden on cars
that have passed through showers of
stones and over flaming bridges and tres
ties. They have been compelled to dodge
the bullets of the strikers and the soldiers
and some II them have been compelled to
live on tied-up trains ana trust to luck for
rations, yet, Notwithstanding the dangers.
hardships and privations to which they
were exposed, not one of them shrked his
duty or complained because the burden he
had to bear was heavier than 1t would
have been under ordinary conditions.
Thus far the clerks have been I'M
scathed and unm0lested. Not one OF them
has been injured, Tough there have been
many very narrow escapes.
