ali over. The Virginia State Baptist
Sunday School Convention began its
29th Annual Session in High Street
Baptist Church last Thursday at a.
m Pres. R. T. Hill presided with sig
nal ability and with becoming grace
aad dignity. The Convention was
composed of the most worthy men and
women of brain and ability, who seem
ed earnest in their work. 1t was in
deed a traly representative body Of
Afro-Amerlcans. Their deliberations
were orderly and discussions on vari-
Gus subjects reflected much credit up
en its members and the race. Many
questions OF Importance claimed the
attention of the convention, viz: Home
and Foreign Missions, the various in
stitutions in the State now engaged in
educating our people, among which
the Hartshorn Memorial College, Spill
Ter Academy. Virginia Seminary, In
dustrial Academy, Gloucester, Va.
were especially mentioned.
One very prominent feature injected
into the deliberations of the body was
the appeal made to the convention or
behalf of the Reformatory for Negro
Youth by Hon. John H. Smy the, ex.
United States Minister to Liberia Il
is proposed to establish this institution
SOr the benefit of juvenile offenders o
the law among our people. The plar
has already the endorsement of lead
ing men and women of both races
May God prosper it.
Another subject equally worthy o
consideration was presented through
the courtesy OF the convention b.
Grand Master Taylor of the Unite'
Order of True Reformers, namely tn
Old Folks Home, Which was very in
teresting as we'll as instructive to tn
large audience assembled.

ALL ARE ECONOMICAL.
Postmasters Cannot See How Their Allow
ances Can Ae Cut without Imparing the

Service.
Washington, D. c., January %
About forty postmasters have replied
to the circular sent out by Postmaster
General Gary asking what savings
could be made in the administration of
their Offices during the remainder OF
the fiscal year, in order to avert de-
fciency in the postal appropriation.
Nearly all Of them set out that their
offices are now being run on an eco
nomical basis, and that any further re-
duction Of working force is out of the
question. The few exceptions to this
rule admit that some saving might be
made, but say it will cripple the ex-
listing service to cut down the force Of
employees Meanwhile, personal re-
monstranceS against any reduction in
force that will impair the carrier de-
livery are being made to the officials
here. Among those who called at the
department for this purpose yesterday
were Senators Hoar and Aldrich; Post
masters Thomas, Of Boston, and War
field, of Baltimore, and the postmaster
at Woonsocket, Il. |.
Now that Congress has been made
officially acquainted with the amount
of probable deficiency and the deter
mination to cut the number of deliver
les if no appropriation is made to
meet it, the opinion is expressed that
some aid will be given the department.
Even if it is no: forthcoming the Off
Gals say good purpose will be &C
complished by the information received
from postmasters in reply to the cir
cular of inquiry in that it will serve
as basis for future calculations of
the requirements of the service in the
localities affected.

any cost. They will have to sacrifice
the druggists at the same time, for

organization was complete, and that
there was not a physician of import
ance who would not lend his financial
aid to doctors drug store"
Being financially interested, these
physicians will also lend their infu-
ence, and in the future all medicines
which are prescribed by Patterson
physicians will have to be bought in
