Probably a Big Bluff

PostofIice Inspector M. II. Flint, who
has just returned from Washington, d.
c., says that he anticipates no cutting
down of the number of letters carriers in
the city here. He says sixty-five were
dropped from the New York force and
forty from the force in Boston, but he
thinks that the move was just a big
bluff to rush bill through congress for
an appropriation to cover the deficit,
which cannot be more than $4,000. OF
course, Mr.. Flint does not know any of
this, but, as he saw the free delivery
people in Washington last week, there
may be some ground for his surmises.

ty, this State, who has been teaching
in the Cauble School, in the northern

old, respectively. MCGOWAN made rule
for all pupils to greet each other upon
entering the school each morning and
to show some respect for one another.
The Jordan boys did not like the rule,
and disobeyed 1t. This resulted in a
whipping being given them by the teach
er. The boys, later, waylaid MCGOWAN
while on his way to church and gave him
a fatal beating.

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The re-
Henrietta" was greeted last night by a
house fully as large as that assembled
on the opening night. Mr.. Robson was
last seen here in this drama in Novem-
ber 1889, when he was assisted by Frank
Mordaunt, James f.. Wilson and f.. j.
Ratcliff. Their places are now supplied
by Thos A. Wise, Edwin Holt and John
Webster, jr. "The Henrietta" is so we'll
known that any description of its plot
would be superfluous Suffice it to say
that Mr.. Robson, with the assistance Of
Mrs. Robson and the rest of the com
pany, gave a performance that was
heartily applauded and evidently great
ly enjoyed by the audience.
At the matinee today THE Henrietta
will be repeated and the engagement
will close this evening with Sydney Ro-
senfelds comedy in three acts entitled,
"A Fool and His Friends" in which Mr..
Robson will assume the leading charac-
ter.
BURBANK THEATER.-The bill at
this house was changed last evening
from "The Phoenix" which had such a
successful run during the fore part of
the week, to a melodrama entitled, THE
Pavements of Paris" The play, which
was given at the Grand opera house here
nj 1886. with Mckee Rankin, Dan Har-
kns and Chas. J. Bishop in the leading
parts, Is an effective melodrama, the
foundation of which is based on events
occurring in Lorraine during the Fran
o-Prussian war of 1870. The piece was
well staged and the principal characters
taken by Sam T. Shaw Alice Saunders,
Jennie Kelton, Nellie Shaw, Birdie De
Vaul and las. but not least, H. S. Duff
field, were we'll sustained, the various
points of interest duly accented and the
climaxes effectively, worked up. The
piece will be given at the matinee today
and on this and Sunday evening.

AMONG THE RAILROADS.

One of the great troubles railroad
companies have had to contend with in
the past with both the old style and the
new style and the new NJ G. B. coup
Iers was the falling of draw-heads on
the tracks, resulting many times in dis
astrous wrecks. A year or two ago
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad adopted
device TO prevent just such occur
rences and has since attached it to all
its passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple. consisting merely of a
right-angled steel hook which is plac
ed Immediately beneath the coupler on
the draw-head, with a horizontal arm
projecting slightly at an angle to the
direction Of the track When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist in jamming the drawbacks
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side and thus be-
coming disengaged. The steel hook is
placed in such a position that it cannot
be damned or broken off in the coup
ling of cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory and
has not failed in a single instance.
The special business of the Balti-
more & Ohio for April amounted to
1O4 parties with a total of 1913 peo-
pie.
