Margaret Collier Graham, the talented
California authoress who wrote 'Stories of

menta" at the rooms of the Channlng
Auxiliary, corner of Geary and Franklin
streets, on Saturday evening next.
Presumably it will be satirical discourse
upon the droll Eenta. and physical lug
gage men and women burden themselves
with. Margaret Graham is humorous,
and she is also something more. The
Critic says in its review of her literary
work: 'Not only in her fun, but in her
strong surprises of seriousness as well,
does this author show her dramatic gift of
suggestion. Literature does not consist so
much in saying things as in not needing
TO say them, and for the most part the dis
tinguishing feature of Mrs. Graham's art
is that it is so much like life that it uses
silence somewhat the way God does"

before the Superior Court on charge of grand
larceny in $1,000 bonds. She was charged with
stealing $50 from George F. Aubertin The
Judge in rendering his decision said he was
not much impressed with the prosecuting wit
ness and was inclined to think that be was not
much better than the defendant. Mrs. Nichols
has come into considerable notoriety recently
by her efforts to get her daughter from the So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice, and also in
connection with the death of James Murphy

Unusual BARGAINS NPIANOS This WEEK. F.WRAUhAER co.

Instead OF securing one or two addi-
tiOnal men, an order came from the
Department to cut down the delivery
force to fifteen men.
Mr.. O'Kane states that sixteen men
give him fairly good delivery force,
except when there is such rush as
last week, but for inside work the su-
perintendent and his assistant are COM
PEELED TO labor twelve or thirteen hours
day, and complaints are pouring into
the office. Mr.. O'Kane will leave for
Washington tonight to see the depart
ment officials.
In this connection it might be we'll to
call attention to the need OF an assist
ant for the stamp clerk. The present
official stands at his window from 7:30
a. IN. until 7:30 p. m. and
since the latest order has been
received he has no oppor-
tunity to leave even to get his meals.
He is before the public twelve hours, in
addition to the time which is required
to foot up the DAYS business. There are
few, il any, communities Of 10000 per-
sons,i which it is not possible to obtain
a stamp after 1870 o'clock in the evening.
The stamp clerk here should have an
assistant. IL is understood that the
Wheeling postoffice yields handsome
revenue annually to Uncle Sam, and
Uncle Sam should reciprocate.

CITIZENS COMPLAIN
ABOUT TIE DELAY IN The DELIVERY OF
MAIL MATTER
And Postmaster 0'Kans Explains the Reasons for
It-Not a Sufficient Clerical or
Delivery Force.

Complaints have been made frequent
ly during the past few weeks about the
delay about the delivery OF mail matter,
and Postmaster N. j. O'Kane and his
force have come in for no small
amount OF censure from the public.
These expressions of indignation were
week. a great many candidates sent
printed circulars or cards 10 the voters
living in their districts-that is, they
prepared the matter, but much Of it
was not sent. Postmaster 0Kane was
was denounced by Democrats and Re-
publicaps alike, and in several instances
candidates came back TO the postotfice
for rail matter which had not been sent
out.
A Register reporter last night called
upon Postmaster 0'Kane TO obtain his
version Of the matter. That official
consented TO give an explanation, which
puts the situation in a peculiar light.
IL appears that the mail carriers sue
ceeded, some three or four years ago, In
getting through Congress bill making
eight hours legal days work.
Mr.. O'Kane'S predecessor was notified,
among others, OF the action OF Congress.
Then il was found that the force al the
local Office was insufficient, and many
Of The carriers put in claims for over
time. A little later an inspector was
sent here by the Department at Wash
iDgtop, and upon his recommendation
the postmaster was permitted to en-
ploy those carriers d portion OF their
time to assist in the clerical work.
This was the situation, Mr.. O'Kane
says, when he took charge. The men
frequently worked longer than eight
hours, and three carriers devoted por-
tion Of their time to assisting the super
intendent and assistant uperintendent.
But it happened that the Carriers in
many Of the larger cities put in claims
for overtime, and the Government was
forced TO pay several hundred thousand
dollars in the aggregate.
About the first week in January q
peremptory order was received from
the Postotlice Department, foroidding
the carriers from working more than
eight hours, or doing any clerical work,
upon pain Of dismissal. This gave the
local Office sixteen carriers, and COM
PEELED two men 10 do all the clerical
work inside. At Mr.. O'Hane's request,
an Inspector came here, and it was ex-
pected that the clerical force would be
Increased, as it is az impossbility for
Two men to 90 the work continuously.

Something Uncovered by q Too critical
Friend-Au Explanation That satIsfac
toriIy Explains.
It's pretty hard matter to find h
subject OF any Interest or Importance
that is not treated Of Ia the american
icanized Encyclopedia Britannica" but
at last a man has shown up with smile
OF triumph on his face aud produced a
poem that starts of in this wise:
One summer evening long ago
There came bird that none did know,
And the ginko tree said, 'Woe is me,
IT'S the woggly bird" said the ginko tree.
"Ah, me; ali, me, and woe is me,
IT'S the woggly bird, said the ginko tree.
Now, what our critical friend COM
plains Of is that the "Americanized"
doesn't say anything at all about the
ginko tree and the woggly bird, and we
will have to own that he is right. But
the same critic didn't know that In
Spitzbergen there is fully formed tree
that does not exceed two inches in
height aud bears leaves no larger than
q mans finger nall, and we showed him
that the "AmericaniZed" told all about
trees, from this diminutive specimen up
10 the giants of the California forests,
and embraced everything in the bird line
from the hummipg bird TO the ostrich
and condor.
He was finally convinced that the
ginko tree and the woggly bird existed
only In the imagination OF the poet and
went away wiser than when be came In.
