WOMEN IN THE POSTAL SERVICE.
About Eighty thousand Employed Their
Work as Satisfactory as That Of Men.

| First Assistant Postmaster-Generat
! Heath has transmitted to the postal ad.
| ministration of the German government
| comprehensive report on the employ
mcnt of women in the government SER
| vice. He says that there are II ,O22 post
offices In the United States, at each of
| which there are several employees who
lawfully may be either men or women.
Postmasters at third and fourth-class Of
| fices select their own employees without
consulting the department. and 1t is ac
cordingly impossible to give the exact
| number of women employed in the postal
service. There are. however. 1910 women
postmasters. and perhaps eighty thou
has been administered to qualify them
to assist in conducting the business of
the offices. There are 167 women en-
ployed in the postoffice department
proper
Women the report says. are emoloyed
cept as letter carriers. clerks in the rail-
way mail service and postoffice inspec-
tors. They are not debarred by rule or
regulation from entering any branch of
the service. In fact there are postoffices
in the United States at which there are
none but women employed The same
salary is paid to them as to men for the
same character of work In the postof-
flee department salaries now paid to
women vary from $2iO to $500 a year ac-
cording to the service performed. though
there Is no rule preventing them from re-
ceivinG more than that and as post
masters or assistants they sometimes re-
celve much larger salaries. Some Of the
most faithful and efficient employees in
the postal service are women.
The report says it has been a mooted
question for many years with the heads
of the executive departments whether
women can render good general SER
vice as men, because the latter may be
transferred at all times to any positions
whereas women may be confronted with
duties in a sense indicate or which re-
quire too much manual labor. But it is
seldom that duties devolve ON any clerk
or officer which cannot be properly per-
formed by women. The conclusion of the |
department is that altogether the ser |
vices of women have proved almost il |
not equally satisfactory with those of
men. The report is based on a request of |
the German government as to what has |
been the general experience of this gov |
ernment with women employees.

The interest Of all France is aroused over
the Impending hostfIities, and the subject
is the engrossing topic at the clues and
in society circles in Paris. The Question
OF interest is as to how many duels ths
prince may have to fight in order to
expiate his Offense in dsnouncins the
Italian troops as towards.
The Paris Journal in discussing the case
in u recent issue had this 20 say:
1T must not be forgotten that the
price has by no means assumed re-
sponSibility for the charges made by the
Abyssiuians against the Italian officers.
He merely reported what was a matter II
public knowledge. IL his information
should prove incorrect IetraCt1Gn wOtsld
he in order. and without doubt .he prince
is too gallant o gentleman to not MA ke 1T
amply aud readily.
'sBu what strikes most people here is
the illogical way in which the RESPONSE
bii.tv has been fastened on Prince Henri's
shoulders It is impossible, in any case
that challenges are in order from anY
Indefinite number OF Italian officers.
The challenges would be endless, for no
one ever regarded fstalending OF 5he duel
as probable"
The Intransigeant asks why both ten
All,rrtone and Lieut.. PM should be- men
toned as Prince Henri's adversarles. '-one
duel for one Yffense' is a fundamental
maxim.
While the Intransieeant Is undoubtedly
right, at the same time Lieut.. PM shows
10 sign Of intending TO yield has claim to
a meeting with the prince. On the con
trary, he states in an interview with the
Journals correspondent at Leghorn that
he considers his affair as absolutely dis
tinct from that of Gen. Aibertone, who
mas provoked the prince beea use the attack
made upon him was personal one

have received exists meme the less, and

a PoIIcEAlAS ACCUSED.
Serious Charges ny the Night To-
spector Agaipst Patrelniau Edelin,.

charges have been preferred by Night
Inspector Pierson against Policeman f.
|. 4. Edelin,, OF the First precinct, accusing
him, it is understood, of immortality and
gross neglect Of duty.
The paners in the case have, In the
usual order of Police procedure, been with.
iield from publication, but the Indications
are that when the facts are brought out
before Police Trial Judge Pugh next
Saturday they will be found of the most
serious character.
1t is said that Lieut. Pierson, the n.ght
inspector, while On his rounds In the First
precinct Monday night, received tip that
an officer was in housein the DIVISION fof
ether purposes than the perfor nance OF
his duty, and that he was in the habit OF
frequenting the place.
The nieht inspector gained adrnitance
to the house aud found, so it is reported,
nanin one of the rooms with a woman. This
man. it is claimed, was discovered to be
patroIrlau. Etlelln, ana Inspector flcrSOi
has preferred charges against him.
The inspector could not be found this
afternoon. and Major Moore, when asked
If a report had been made to him or
Edelln's alleged shortcomings, declined TO
answer.
Il have no objection to giving out news,
said the major, ''but 1t viii do you no
good to publish the details of this case
until tie man is tried Saturday. Further
more. | do not know the details myself,
as | have not yet examined the papers
I am very much opposed to giving out cases
of this kind, anyhow, because the papers
always seize upon such instances tn assert
that the force is immoral IL you publish
anything about this case, understand that
1t does not come from me. l decline 10
give You anything until the trial"
Inquiry atthe Firstprecinct developedthe
fact that Policeman Edelin is at present on
two weeks leave, his pemissrion, curiously
enough, dating from the 10th of August,
the day after he was surprised in his
alleged affair d'amour. AT his residence
his landlady stated that he left on Tuesday
to spend a few days in Virginia. None Of
his brother officers professed to know
anything about the case.
