VERY BAD BOYS.
They Have Created Lots of Trouble
at the PoStoffice.


The nuisance caused by small boys
and girls continues undated in the
public room of the postoffice and the
matter was the occasion yesterday, of a
consultation between Postoffice In
spector Nichols and Postmaster Bar
| raft. 1t was found that the postal
laws and regulations provide a very
arbitrary way out of the difficulty, but
the inspection department does not
care to enforce it unless the vandalism
now going on becomes unbearable.
Postoffice Inspector Nichols said yes
terday that if the local authorities could
not preserve order and make examples
of the children who are allowed to
frequent the postoffice during late
hours in the evening he must needs
close the office after delivery hours,
which would undoubtedly work a hard
ship on patrons. This course of action
would be taken under section 433 of the
postal laws which says: when the
local authorities refuse to preserve Or
der in a postoffice at the request of
the postmaster, he shall close the Of
fee"
The police department will again be
called on to exert its influence.
The boys who are responsible for
the trouble are absolutely malicious in
their pranks. Their latest depreciation
is committed with tiny toy pistols. The
handle is made of a little rubber bulb,
which, when compressed, sucks in
water, and this is elected in a fine
stream through a minute hole in the
barrel. Instead of using water, the
unchins have loaded their guns with
ink from the wells in the Dostoffice
and deliberately squirted the fluid upon
the dresses of ladies passing by them,
and they succeeded in running many
gowns.
The matter having been brought to
the attention of the police, they pro-
pose now to land these reform school
candidates in Jail.
