WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-In the last
annual report Of the first assistant
postmaster general appears a compll-
ment to Mr.. A. B. Smith, Of West Vir-
GINA, special agent OF the rural reliy-
er system Of the postoficc department,
in letter from Senator Chandler,
arent the establishment Of the service
at P!ttsaeld. New Hampshire, under
date OF october IS. MIR. Chandler says:
"Mr A. 3. Smith, special agent for
for the rural free delivery OF the post
office department, was in Pittsfield, N.
II. this week, and established the sys-
fem there in accordance with my re-
ouest of last December. did not have
the pleasure OF meeting Mr.. Smith, but
those who were OF some assistance to
his In his work In Pltts0eld inform me
That he impressed the people with
whom he came In contact os a gentle
man of culture and tact, 90 well as a
most competent official The routes as
he laid them out were submitted to cit-
liens OF that town, and all agreed that
they could not be irnprovedlT The Pitts
field people were especially pleased
with the practical, common sense man
ner in which he concluded all Of his
business and the readiness with which
he grappled the problems Of crooked
highways and puzzling CROSSROADS"
The report of the first assistant post
master general shows the existence OF
four free rural delivery routes in West
Virginia, all but one established Octo-
Der /, 1896, and the latter May, !, 1898.
These are Charles Town, Halltown,
Uyila, all in Jefferson county and es-
tablIshed under Postmaster General
Wilson. and the fourth al Martlnsburg,
Berkeley county. The first three
routes named arc those upon which
the initial test Of the system was made.
The Charles Town route covers twelve
square miles of territory, employs
three carriers at a salary Of $500 per
annum each, serves 600 patrons and
distributes and collects 1927 pieces OF
mail per annum. Martinsburg district
distributes and collects 5,124 pieces Of
mall to $50 patrons, by one carrier, at
5000 per annum, md covers an aren OF
thirty square miles Halltown district
200 population by one carrier, $500 per
annum, and distributes and collects
1873 pieces Of mail, over an area OF
twelve square miles. Uvilla district
has one carrier, who receives $500 per
annum, and serves 24O population, dis
tributes and collects 1854 pieces Of mail
over an area OF twelve square miles.
Each carrier makes daily trips.
The report says: ut Is confidently
expected that as the merits OF the free
rural delivery become more widely
known a stronger public sentiment
will sustain its substitution for the
system which requires farmers and
others to ride or drive daily or twice
or thrice a week, to get their mails.
and which deprives them OF the advnn-
tage of taking the daily newspaper.
There are seventy-sIx rural free de-
livery routes already established in the
United States.

The stock market was strong most
Of the day, particularly In the late trad

number Of speclalties reached consider
able proportions. a curious exception
to the general advance was noticed in
stocks where dividends have Just been
declared, namely New York Central,
Southern preferred and Atchison pre-

case OF Southern preferred and Atchi-

OF disbursements from time to time, as
