Az IMPROVED MESSENGER SERVICE.
THE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH COMPANYs BOYS
BETTER CLAD AND DISCIPLINED UNDER
Mr. RAYNEsS MANAGEMENT.

Some time ago The Tribune referred dtOrlally
to the service that was at that time being given
10 the New-York public by the American DIS
trct Telegraph Company. calling attention TO
the fact that there seemed TO be little discipline
among the messenger boys who went and came In
far too free and easy manner and whose per-
sonal appearance was far from presenting that
model OF neatness and uniformity which the pub
He had right to expect and which the public
OF other cities received.
About six months ago NJ w. Kaynes became
manager OF the American District Telegraph Com
pany in this city. and since then the service or
which he has charge has been constantly i'm
proving along the lines pointed out by The Tribune
In the old days the messengers were allowed to
appear IN practically any costume that suited
them and the result was set OF messengers
that were seldom clean Some OF them
wore only the company's cap. some OF them wore
the coat but few OF them wore both at the same
time full uniform was practically unheard Of
What fragmentary parts OF the uniform did appear
were generally the worse for wear or untidy.
Since Mr. Haynes took charge all this has been
changed No messenger is allowed TO be on duty
unless clad in the full uniform He must wear a
collar too The company provides the suit ana
as many collars may be necessary. keeps the
uniform pressed and clean. and charges the mes
senger 20 cents week, retaining possession OF the
clothes Under the old system those boys who had
unisoi ms paid 81 25 a week and owned the uniform
when the fun amount OF SIG or ST had been paid
The change is financially to the advantage OF
the boys az whole for many Of them remain
only a short time in the employ or the company.
Mr. Raynes also sent forth the excellent edict that,
so far as messenger boys were concerned whiskers
must 20 This resulted In many OF the ancient
boys leaving the company In preference to part
ing with their treasured boards But therein the
public was scarcely a loser. The advantages or
this improved discipline the city has been reaping
In "A better more rapid and careful service. Mes
sengers are often seen running nowadays. and the
comic papers mourn.
Manager Raynes says that there are now about
nfty bicycles in In that part or the CITY
that lies above Twenty -thrd-st. and that more
will he put in soon as some inventor as
covers A tire that will not slip on the pavement In
rainy weather In good weather one boy with a
wheel can do the work OF two boys without
wheels II Is not possible for the wheels to be
used with safety much below Twenty -third-st.
on az count OF the crowded condition OF the streets
Manaser Raynes who was himself once ID mes
sercer boy says that the company Is constantly
on The lookout 10 discover ability in messenger
HOY and TO promote him II possible lie added
mat many men earning good salaries In the busi-
ness part Of the city were once messenger boys,
ns were also many OF the brightest detectives In
