NEW STAMP cANcELLER.
st. Paul Postomce Adopts 1t Al
Last.

last.
When the clerks on the outgoing
mail trains last evening began dis
tributing the lettefs from the ST. Paul
post office they noticed a new stamp
cancellation on the envelopes which
had never before been used by the local
office, though the incoming mail from
other large cities pften bears the same
design. The explanation to the clerks
was easy or comprehension, as 1t
I showed them that the ST Paul post Of
flee had finally adopted the latest stamp
cancelling devise now in use In all
large postoffices throughout the coun-
try. s'esAH
+ Two Of the new machines were start
ed in operation yesterday for the first
time. and 1T Is calculated that they will
save both carriers and postoffice clerks
great deal of time when the operators
have become expert In their use. The
Barry stamp cancelling machine was
formerly in use IN the local postoffice,
and While its work was rapid 1t often
allowed many letters to slip through
without receiving the impression OF
the stamp in addition to requiring con-
siderable labor on the part of the car
r1ers in preparing the letters to be fed
to the machine. Only one letter Is fed
to the new machine at a time and in
this way all of the stamps are sure TO
be Cancelled and no time is lost by the
carriers who simply pile the outgoing
mail on table where it is assorted
by the operator. At present the new
machines are not capable Of running
off as many letters as the old one, but
this is due to the inexperienee of the
operator, and when he has once be-
come proficient in It's operation 1t Is
expected to do about twice the work of
the Barry machine, which will in future
be used in 'backstamping the incom-
ing mail, a process heretofore accom-
plished by hand
Postmaster Castle is highly pleased
with the Introduction Of the machines
and Is Of the opinion that they will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
local postal service.

A TEAPOT TEMPEST.

various newspapers IN the country
which do not know any better still
keep harping on the disturbance at
New Haven, where a body Of Yale
students interrupted Mr.. Bryan so
persistently that he was obliged to
break off his speech, condemning or
eXcusing the act according to their
political attitude The whole discus
sion breathes the air of ignorance Of
the subject matter itself This comes
of unfamiliarity with the customs Of
college life, and the peculiar, and not
infrequently both absurd and ungen-
tlemanly' performances of which col
lege boys are guilty. The plain fact.
as any college man ought to know, is
that the outbreak Of the Yale boys
had scarcely more reference to Mr..
Bryan personally, or to his political
ambition, than to the king Of Ashantee
or the Russian prison system. What
they did with Mr.. Bryan they would
have done with anybody else If they
had had the chance. They were simply
out on a lark" and when college
boys go larking they are utterly in
discriminating as to the person on
whom they play their pranks. They
have been known to do precisely the
same thing year after year with other
public speakers unconnected with pol
itics, and many are the lecturers and
actors and ballet dancers who have
been guyed into tears and retirement
by the irrepressible college youth.
It is all very foolish and very repre-
hensible, of course. It marks not only
the high spirits that belong naturally
to youth but the absence Of cOnsid-
Grafton for others and the lurking ele-
ment of ruffianism that have no buSi-
ness to go with youth or any age. It
seems to be an essential feature, thus
far, Of the American college system,
which, by receiving boys whose char
acters are not half matured, and by
attempting, foolishly, to substitute a
species of college discipline for that Of
home. prolongs boyishness into in
cipient manhood and provokes the out
breaks against propriety which are
always the protest Of immaturity
against restraint.
This is what the New Haven cpl
sode means, and all that 1t means.
It has no more bearing on individuals
or politics than "cane rush. or a
secret society initiation or a class
poem. Mr.. Bryan happened merely to
give the boys an opportunity to vent
their wild spirits, and anybody who
knew anything about college life could
have told him in advance exactly what
would happen. Nor Is there the slight
est reason to doubt that, had It been
Mr.. Mckinley instead who presented
himself as sacrifice, he would have
met with a precisely similar expert
ence. 1t is an offense against courtesy
and gentlemanliness. but 1t is not Pc
culiar to any one Of the institutions
where some thousands Of boisterous
young men are gathered together, and
1t is absolutely destitute Of political
significance.

COMPARATIVE WHEAT PRICES.

To the Editor Of the Globe

Subscriber" makes a very serious
b1under In his figures. A reference to
the market column Of the G o b for
Wednesday, Sept. %, which gives the
quotations for the day previous, Sept
%, shows that No. 1 northern wheat
was quoted in Duluth at 611s cents. as
he says, per bushel, and the average
was IS 914d, not per bushel. but per
Genital. Now, the comparison, in the
first place, should be made between
the same grades of wheat. No. /
northern is quoted In the same Liver
pool report at 5s 715d per GENITAL The
Genital is 100 pounds weight The bushel
being 60 pounds weight.5s 71ad per CEN
tai is equivalent, therefore, to price Of
about 40d per bushel, or, roughly
speaking. so cents in American money.
This leaves a difference of about IS
to 10 cents per bushel between the Du-
iuth price and the Liverpool price To
account for this difference, we give the
following. official statement, made by
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion for Sept. II, showing the market
