System Of Government DESIGNS.

1t is depressing to learn that the
prospects are that the present design of
the Mint will be retained, and the new
talent of the architects office,if anything
is done by it, viii be let loose upon the
details of the interior. This improve
ment in plans doubtless appeals to the
Government officials more than a new
facade with which they affect to be
highly pleased. That is certainly not
the attitude of Philadelphia. and it Is
to be hoped some way may be found by
which the elevation of the building can
be changed for the better. Why begin
the experiment of good taste at Nor
folk? Philadelphia's claims are certain

the Game Herself.

The other day a Detroit youth who
had come home from college for vaca-

a baseball game, says the Free Press. ="
She is a quiet. demure little lass. with
blue eyes and a timid manner and she
slipped into her seat in the grand stand
as staidly as if she were entering the
family pew at church
AS the game progressed he kindly un-

about the points so she would under
stand at least a little about it.

the pitcher The man with the stick in
his hand is the batter. He viii try
To hit the ball, and if he does he will
run to that little bag, which is called
a base"
The young mans sister seemed to be
quite interested, and listened attentive
ly to his explanations.
Presently somebody hit out a two
bagger that went clear through the
shortstop. and lit out for first like a
wild turkey.
The young man began to explain.
Now he said, IF the fielder throws
the ball TO the man on the bag before
The young man ceased suddenly.
His sister had sprung upon the bench,
grabbed his hat, and thrown it into the
crowd, and shrieked at the top of her
voice:

this effort on their part will end the
sweating system and will restore the
old rates of wages. Under the present
system, they are able to make only
dollar and half for weeks work.
Under the old schedule, which they
want restored, the operators made
from $40 to s1s per week. There are
nearly 5000 operators out, and in con-
sequence of the strike 5000 fnishers
are idle.

Mail Robberles on Steamships.

New York, Aug. 5.-Chief Post
master Inspector Ashe, with assistants
in this city and elsewhere, has been
working for days on a series of re-
markable robberies of mail matter
carried aboard the great ocean steam
ships The authorities admit that the
mails have been robbed, but refuse to
give particulars. They will not say
how much has been lost, but it is
known that the thefts aggregate thou
sands of dollars.
The first of the thefts occurred sew,
eral months ago, and has never been
satisfactorily explained. Additional
complaints were received and the in
spectors became convinced that the
foreign mails were being systemati-
cally robbed on large scale, as eighty
packages of matter have been missed
from single steamship. The mail
stolen in that case was mostly in reg
istered pouches, which had been
sealed in the general office in this city
and opened by the clerks aboard the
vessel.
