NEW YORK POSTAL PLAN

brooklyn TO Ho lteduced TO an Or~
binary Numbered station.
The post office department has prae-
ucally completed the plan II will follow
with reference TO the revision Of the
postal service of Greater New York
when the charter goes into effect on
January next
This plan contemplates the submis-
sion of recommendation TO congress-
by the postmaster general urging a re-
peal OF the law making Brooklyn q
presidential Office. AS soon as the law
is repealed an order will be issued de-
grading the presidential and fourth
class offices within the boundaries Of
Greater New York to substations. It
is proposed by the postmaster general
that provision be made for creating the
office of superintendent for what is now
the Brooklyn post office at salary
which will compensate him for his
work and responsibility. The post
master OF Brooklyn receives $4,000
year, and II the wishes Of the depart
ment officials are followed the super
intendent will not receive much less.
1t hos finally been determined not to
recommend an increase Of the $4,000
salary of the postmaster Of New York.
Including Brooklyn, there are 81 pres
idential post Offices within the boun-
daries of Greater New York, with sal
aries amounting to $4,000 yeaT. There
is large number of fourth-class offices,
and the postmasters holding these sit
nations draw less than $1,000 year.
"Under the law" said department
official, sit will be necessary to make
all of the presidential and fourth-class
offices stations and substntions. The
salaries paid to tho agents must amount
to less than 81 900 q year, so that If con-
gress fails to adopt tho recommends

The Philadelphia Ledger promises to

ton OF being the only leading paper
In the United States set up entirely by

spouse to overtures from number of
manufacturers of various typesetting
machines, Publisher George W. Childs
Drexel has given 1t out hat-footed that
no machines will be introduced into the
Ledger office during his lifetime, or Ger
tainly during his control of the paper.
This decision Is In strict accordance
with the policy laid down by the late
George w. Childs, who regarded his
printers as portion of his personal
family and refused TO consider any
proposition for the equipment Of the
Ledger office with typesetting mo-
chimes on the ground that he would not
be party to throwing out of work Of
single ono of his old printers.
Although the carrying out Of this de-
cision was not made binding upon Mr..

distinguished predecessor. and while
the old men are still at the case, many
new ones have been added to meet the

A Fast Transport Ship.

One of the proudest achievements of
the American clipper-ships that we have
to look back on is that of the famous
Lightning, built by Donald Mckay for the
English firm of James Balm & Co. The
Mckay clippers were known all over the
world, and England recognizing their
merit many orders were sent from that
country. The Lightning was employed
during the Sepoy uprising in India to
carry troops and stores to Calcutta, and
when she spread her snowy sails in the
Downs and fairly had the bone in her
teeth, she showed as neat pair of heels
to the steamer transports as any captain
could wish for. 1t is on record that she
beat the steamers every passage, and that
not sailing vessel under the British flag
could keep way with her sailing side by
side. Harper's Round Table.
