Postmaster E. T. Page, of Redwater,
Texas, will be rete ined by this admin

of bankruptcies and twins in his family.
Eleven years ago he was given the
post office, but when General Clarkson
became assistant postmaster general in
the Wanamaker administration an #
fort was made to replace the postmas-
ter, who was a candidate for the repu-
blicsn party. Many applications for
the place were fled, but Page appeal
ed for retention, citing that his wife
had just presented him with a bounc-
ing bankruptcies and that twice before
twins had been born to them. This set
tied the case, General Clarkson de-
Gliding not to remove the incumbent.
The case has now come up again and q
number of candidates have SOUGHT the
place. But Page has again protested that
the successful raising of the quadru-
plets and two sets of twins entities
him to some consideration and has sent
photographs of the three surviving
bankruptcies, now almost young ladies.
Assistant rPostmaster Bristow confer
red with Postmaster General Gary and
the two decided that there should no

Good Work.

The railways of Mexico have made
splendid strides during the past year,
not only in matters of increased earn
ings, superior equipm ents, but also in
the large amount of building improve
ments ard track extensions. During
this period about 25O miles of new track
were laid, principally by the following
lines: Rio Grande, Sierra Madre q
Pacific, 141 miles: Mexico, Cueruavaca
s. Pacific, 234 miles; Coahuila and "a
catecas, 40 miles; MichOacan & Pacific,
% miles; Mexican National 1929 miles.
These extensions were completed and
put into operation last year, while
there are other extensions now in the
course of construction. The most i'm
portant of those now nearing compile
ton is a branch of about 40 miles on
the Mexican Central, from Jimenez to
Parral; one Of about Is miles on the
Mexican International from Resta to
Monterey, and the further extension
Of the Mexico, Cuernavaca & Pacific
towards Acapulco. The year 1888
finds I, $50 miles of we'll equipped roads

principal part of this mileage belongs
to the following seven systems: Mex

will, countries stretching from the
shores OF the Red Sea to the frontiers
of Germany, will thrust itself forward.
