The Improved Postoffce.

Recent improvements in the post.
office have demonstrated that the post
master, Mr.. j. j. Wharton, is deter.
mined to keep pace of all demands on
it and even trifle in advance of
them. An addition has been built on
the rear and the boxes have been ex-
tended several feet further back.
About seventy more call boxes have
been put in and about sixty lock box
es have place. About thirty-five of
these have been taken already and
the balance will likely be taken in a
very short time. There is also very
lively demand for the call boxes and
it is almost certain they will meet the
demand but inadequately in a few
months. The numbers on the boxes
have all been rearranged and begin at
the stamp window on the right side
and run around the office consecutive
ly from the lowest to the highest num-
bers. The amount of mail which is
handled here has steadily increased
from year to year and the salary of the
office has CORRESPONDENCE pushed up.
The office is now one of the most i'm
portant in the State and the number
OF boxes in use exceeds many more
pretentious offices. One of the inno-
vations which Mr.. Wharton has in
troduced is Sunday delivery of mail.
AS he is not compelled to do this and
does it of his own volition he deserves
much credit for it and has the appro-
baton of the public. He is constant
ly looking out for the comfort of the
patrons of the Office and busted with
attending to all their wants. Nor
gantown has postofiice and a post
master Of which she may well be
proud. The only drawback is that
occasionally in heavy rush the lack
of more clerk help is felt and if an ex-
ira clerk were secured there would be
nothing left undone to make the office
attain the highest possible efficiency.

Fairmont West Virginian: The
early improvement of the Monon-
gahela to this place is assured, but
we have reason to believe that by
the time steamers are seen coming
regularly to Fairmont, if not before,
we will boast of another railroad.
We are informed by gentleman
who is in position to know that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the Vanderbilt system are both
looking this way, and that if it had
not been for the panic we would
have heard the locomotive ere this.
1t is believed that the Vanderbilts
will reach us first. If they should
we may not get the Pennsylvania
road. The latter's coming, however,
would not thwart the Vanderbilt's
as they will not only come here, but
extend their line far into the south.

We understand that few OF our broad
minded land .magnanimous theologians
are greatly disturbed because some of

OF Tom Thumb y "Where ignorance is
bliss It's folly to be wise.p
The wheels OF time have again brought
us around TO another winter and the
question arises how can we best spend
the long dreary days7 How can We
learn TO be truer to ourselves and to our
fellowmen? How long will it be before
we will all place a higher estimate on
facts and deeds than theories and pro-
fessions? In short when will we all
sincerely say with Thomas Paine, "a
great heart is the first and fairest orna-
ment OF mankind ?'' We answer let us
reason together, let us think and inves-
tigate, let us Danish the clouds OF preju-
dice. from the ornament OF the mind.
We must not conclude that because a
person differs from us he is positively
wrong. Let us try TO know our friends
as they are and then il we cannot agree
let US grasp each others hands in genu-
Inc friendship. We must remember
that all OF us have equal rights and that
our neighbors have just as good right
to their views on anything as we have.
In the name of decency and common
sense let us give other people every right
we ask for ourselves. Does a mans

lower OF John Calvin explain the move
ments of the planets as well as believ-
err in Catholicism?
Can any one expect to rise in the opin-
ion of others by mistreating those that
have the moral courage to express
an honest opinion unpopular though
it may be? Let us be candid, SIN
cere, honest and free. Let us
place the banner OF truth, justice, love
and liberty ON the everlasting hills
where it may wave in the eternal sun
shine. Let us remember the Golden
Rule and this little verse till our eyes
are closed forever;
Do not form opinions blindly,
Hastiness to trouble tends,
Those of who we thought unkindly,
Often prove our warmest friends"

THE PIONEER LIBRARY.
VIII Close Soon on Account of Lack
of Funds.

of Funds.
The pioneer library, which has been
so useful to students and readers in
the past, is about to close it's doors.
The cause given is lack of funds The
city council stopped the 81, 900 a year
appropriation to the institution and the
library has been running on the
strength of it's subscription list, ever
since. This has been diminished lately,
because the citizens are expecting a
free library very soon and don't care to
pay for year subscription when they
can get the books for nothing in the
near future. But the free library may
be far distant The last legislature
passed a provisional bill that Salt Lake
would have a free library and a tax of
1-3 of a mill would be levied for its
maintenance, provided that a petition
to that effect should be signed by a
thousand tax payers of the city. This
petition has only few names and
promises very few more till these
hard times are over.
A public library is more of a. neces-
sity than a luxury as school is about
to begin, and scholars use the reading
room whenever they can get a chance
The library has a. choice collection Of
books, both entertaining and instruct
i've and q good set of reference books.
Unless the citizens come to it's aid very
soon it will close down and the city
will be without one of its most use
full institutions. The terms of subscrip-
ton are SO per year, S1.75 for six
months, and 81 for three months.

A RECKLESS BlCYCLIST.
Baby Carriage Overturned and the

A bicycle in the hands of a. reckless
rider, last night, created great con-
sternation in a. family of Hebrews lv-
ing a. few doors east eff the Knutsford.
The wheel1nan was riding without a
light and with one lady in front of
him and one behind him. The Hebrew
family, whose names are LAWN, we've
out ON the pavement with a baby car
riage occupying the cenItter of the
group The fair cyclist in front saw
the obstruction and sweIved quickly
aside, but the man just behind saw 1T
too late and crashed into the family
and principally into the carriage. The
baby was thrown out on the pavement
and a little Hebrew maiden, aged ten,
was knocked downs and had her arm
run over The wheelman also took a.
fail The baby was bruised slightly ON
the head, but none of the injuries re-
ceived from the numerous falls was
serious.
The cyclist was arrested for riding
without light and left SO for his ap
pearance in the police court on Mon
