Another of Postmaster ereene's Bright
Ideas-Business Booming at
Station A.

Station A continues to increase in pop
ularity and the business is gradually
growing larger and more important.
Tuesday 105 different packages repre-
senting 5000 letters were made UP for
the larger cities, to be shipped direct
after going to the main office. Ten sacks
of matter were also made up.
The postmaster is making arrange
ments to have the mail for Station A
made up on the cars before it's arrival in
the city so the mail may be delivered
more quickly In order to make this
effectual it is necessary that all mail
for the station be addressed to station
A, Worcester, Mass"
The postmaster will make a request
to the department as soon as the funds
will allow to adopt a plan which will
meet with hearty approval from every
body in the city. The plan is to have
wagons running between the local and
sub-stations, making delivery and TAX
ing away a mail every two hours This
would make it possible to mail a letter
in the city in the morning and receive a
reply the same day. The wagons would
be fitted up inside so clerk could put
up" the mails on the trips while a driver
directed the horse. Two wagons would
be necessary to do the work in Worces-
ter, and the postmaster estimates the
cost at $4,000. This would take the place
of the street railway service in Boston
and other large cities, and it would be
fine thing for the city.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
Address by Rev. A. Fl. Coolidge Before
the Ladies of Piedmont Church.

The Piedmont Benevolent Union lis
tened to very interesting address,
Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. A. H Cool
idge, on the Life of Oliver Wendell
Holmes" He said:
Holmes was born in the year 1909, the
same year that saw the births of Glad
stone, Darwin and Lincoln, and in the
week of the Harvard commencement
His father was a clergyman and taught
the faith of Calvin with all it's hor-
rors," although he was the "sunniest Of
old men" He entered Harvard at the
age of 16, studied law for a year, and
then medicine, completing his education
in the hospitals of Paris. He never
had large practice as physician, but
was professor of anatomy at Harvard
for 45 years, thus occupying mot only
a professors chair, but a whole settee.' .
He belonged to the famous Saturday
| Club of Boston, and was commanding
| figure in it.
At the age of rs he again visited Eu-
rope and received honors from the uni
| versities of Oxford and Cambridge AL
though many of his poems are the pro-
auctions of a master mind, it is as an
essayist that he will be chiefly remem-
! bered. He was master of a beautiful
English style, clear, direct, forclble,
simple. He believed in little words,
and said chat "littleness Of thought
too often hid behind .bigness of words. .
| He was pre-eminent as humorist he
laughed the world out Of many Of its
absurdities, and lightened many bur-
| den. He was not reformer, and was
apparently insensible to the anti-slavery
| movement until the war actually be-
gan, and he never sympathized with the
! cause of temnara Opa
| MIR. Morse's recent biography is writ
| ten from a sectarian standpoint, and ut
terly fails to appreciate the position
| of the conservative theologians whom
| Holmes ridieuled. Holmes painted the
dark side Of Puritanism He said that
| they had made heaven hardly larger
| than modern hotel they damned the
heather, and finally damned each
other" Holmes contributed much to
the rhetoric Of the religious discussion.
but almost nothing to its substance. He
! even Inexperienced "Pilgrim's Prog
ress," and it seemed to him like the ac-
count Of hunting sinner with a pack
demons" However, he was not an
atheist, and with his natural wealth of
sympathy and with the deepening SEN
sibility Of old age, he said at last, Il
| trust in God"

AlIeeany-Garrett Line.

Professor William Bullock Clarke,
of the Johns Hopkins University,
State geologist, says: THE magnetic
survey of the State under Dr. l.. A.
Bauer is progressing satisfactorily.
The boundary line between Allegany
and Garrett counties has been com
pleted. In fact, it was finished ten
days ago. This line was started near
Piedmont. The variations of the
needle baffled all attempts to make a
survey with the campass. Local at
fractions would defect the needle.
The line is twenty miles long, and Il
slight variation or detection in the
needle means great deal. Triangu-
lation was resorted to by DR.. Bauer,
so that now he has correct line es-
tablished. He must now make his
plats, and in compliance with the act
of 1898, must place one in the clerk s
Office of both Allegany and Garrett
counties, and one with the land com
mission. DR.. Bauer will then go back
to make a magnetic survey of the
western part of the state"
