for some of the local chess players to

game as sort of a protection against
any iron missiles that are liable to fly

The great series of skylights used to
light the main court have proved satis-
factory in every way. The interior of
this big work room was wonderfully
bright all day yesterday and the clerks
enjoyed the good light. The pillars and
walls are finished in pure white, which
reflects the light and adds greatly to the
effect
Another blessing to the clerks is the
great increase in space in every depart

crowded while here there is room to spare
everywhere The heating and ventilating
appliances worked smoothly yesterday
and the air in the court was as fresh
after the day of hustling as it was on

get a stamp from the new postofiice as a

Great crowds thronged the corridors all
day, and had the bureau of information
been open, the genial clerk would have
been forced to desperate means to get
relief. Already the relic hunters have
managed to deface the new building. Here

the handsome marble pillars. and even

AT THE PRESIDENTS CHURCH.
The Debt Owed by the Present TO
the Past.


President Mckinley attended the morn
ing services yesterday at the Metropolitan
NJ L. Church. The sermon was delivered
by the pastor, the Rev. DR.. Frank Bristol,
who spoke of the debt of the present to
the past for all 1t has received in the way
of letters. philosophy. art, architecture
and Christianity and of our duty as ma
tion in disseminating the gospel of Christ
in other lands. America. DR.. Bristol said,
was in close relationship with the other
nations of the world, because of the fact
that many of her citizens are foreign
born. For this reason, he said. we should
keep the commandment of Christ to His
apostles. Go and teach the gospel 10
all peoples
There is hardly a nation to which We
do not owe something for the perfection
of our nationalism, education and
civilization. There is hardly an eN-
preston heard in the mart, at the bar,
from the pulpit, or in the halls of
legislation, but which has come to us
from the Greeks. Jews or others. To
them much of our art. music,
philosophy, civilization, poetry and archi-
lecture. In demonstration of this state
ment DIR. Bristol referred to the different
styles of architecture found in the build
ings of the White city OF the Worlds
Fair at Chicago.
DR.. Bristol also discussed the spirit
which caused Paul to turn from his ways
and go TO preach the gospel to all people.
Once breathing vengeance against all who
isagreed with him, he journeyed on to
Jerusalem to satisfy his hatred against
the Christians. On the way he was con-
verted, and the divine spirit having been
poured into his soul he was changed, his
heart began to melt with the love of
Christ and it warmed for all mankind,
and he felt that he owed something to
every man because he owed so much 10
Christ.

ttr0m The London Globe.
1t has been noticed with some surprise of late
that all the most successful dramatists OF the
day are novelsts first of all, and that the dra-
matists pure and simple have had TO take the
second place. Not many years ago it was ae-
ccpted axiom that the arts of the novelist
and of the dramatist We're utterly distinct and
that in the unlikely event OF novel being suit
ed for the stage, the aid of skilled dramatist
was necessary. But now We see the novelist
adapting their work for the theater, and.
what is more, doing il most successfully. The
fact is. however, that the novel has utterly
changed of recent years, and is no longer a
drawn-out history of family OF such
as ''Tom JONES', Quentin Durward." Martin
Chuzzlewit,'' or vanity Fair None of these
works could possibly be put the stage in their
entirety, but the modern novel is far removed
from them. The three-yolume novel has en-
tirely disappeared from among us, and the one
volume novel has taken its place, with the result
that instead of being spun out over number of
years, from the hero's birth to his marriage,
used to be the fashion, the latter-day novel deals
with incident only, and deals with that much
in the way the playwright builds his
piece for the stage. The novel has ceased TO be
epic and has lscome dramatic, and consequently
needs but little alteration TO make an acceptable
play. The theater remains where it did. but the
public taste in novels has altered, greatly to the
advantage OF the novelist, who is now able to
reap double harvest, from the reading public
and from theatergoers

Over io.Goe people passed through the
doors of the great building yesterday. but
these were nearly all sightseers who care
fully inspected the handsome corridors
and watched the labors of the clerks in
the great central court" with great in
tcrest
As a rule the Sunday mails are much
lighter than those of other days and yes
terday was no exception. This
fact gave the clerks opportunity to ex-
anime their new home and to get accus-
toned to their several quarters.
The last mail dispatch from the old post
office was made at midnight on Saturday
and al that time the mail wagons began
to unload the mails from other cities at
the new building. The old letter cases
had been carried into the new quarters
without any change in routine and the
general delivery window was opened after
a very short wait and business was resum-
ed as though nothing had happened
The collectors swung into the new build
ing all day long and kept the lines of low
desks piled high with mail matter. This
was rapidly distributed by a small army
of clerks, and before noon the thousands
of lock boxes along the west corridor
were bristling with mail.
The change made no difference far
as handling The mail matter was con-
cerned. The great staff of clerks ran
down to the avenue office between
mails and soon had everything running
smoothly The new circles of bag
frames were soon occupied and when
the day force ended its days work it
was perfectly at home and had every mail
completed on schedule time.
Superintendent Bell is highly pleased
with the new quarters, and is very proud
of the great success of the work of NOV
ing the department.

kansas City, No, is the great market
for the wheat crops of Kansas" said NJ
P. Smith, of that place, in the lobby at
Wizards. Fifty million bushels of the
grain is an average crop and the greater
part of this immense yield finds its way
to Kansas City, to be disposed of at the
elevators. But not all the wheat that
reaches the city is shipped away as such
There are four mammoth Touring mills
there, with a daily capacity of more than
G.00O barrels of flour. AS it takes about
five bushels of wheat to make a barrel of
flour, you may see that the city consumes
a great deal of the crop of the State.
Much of the -four goes abroad. but the
greater part is sold for domestic use.
'.The handling of the wheat crop has n
good, healthy effect upon trade and COM
merce. and makes every branch prosper
Gus. The farmer gets paid for his toll,
the railroad companies employ more men.
build more cars, run more trains, and
burn more coal. The telegraph companies
get their profits out of the market re-
ports and other telegraphic correspond
ence. The bankers make more loans.
more clerks are employed at the clearing
houses and the speculator comes in for
his share with the rest. The insurance
companies get more premiums, and more
ships are placed on the sea. All this
helps those who must toll, and makes
prosperity"
