The first Postmaster Of the city OF New York
got his commission from Thomas Jefferson.
He was Theodorus Bailey. q resident OF Pough-
keepsie. He was a United States Senator, having
as his colleague De Witt Clinton, but he resigned
his place in the Senate TO become Postmaster OF
New York. which was then n city of about 10000.
and the postal business OF which amounted to a
few hundred letters n day instead OF the
present volume OF business. which yields to
the Federal Government a net profit of $4,000
900 a year. He had previously been n member
Of the Legislature; he had enjoyed the dislinc-
tion which came to Senators n TIE early years

his acceptance of the office of OF New

gold ~digeines. and the woman was a vaudeville star.
who had delighted the hearts of the Dawson miners
with her clever dancing and catchy songs.
Leonard s~sdgwick OF wyoming and Miss Lou
Keller OF san Francisco arrived here on the last
steamer from the Kioudike, after having made tho
trip out over tbs snow for the purpose OF getting
married. She Is the second woman tn come out over

the trip out to get married. not that there arc no
ministers In Dawson, but because that was the only
way Soigwick could win his bride. who had fifteen
or twenty fully AZ wealthy Klondikcrs dangling at
the end OF her numerous strings. sedBwick tried 20
tempt her by heaping mp gold before her. but abe
only laughed at him. He was desperate. and finally
hit on the plan TINT secured the promise no desired.
His friend Joe Brand. with his valuable team of four.
teen dogs, was to start on Dec. II. with n party Of
old miners who had just sold ont their claims. for
Dyeh. selgwick put the matter to Miss Keller in
this way:
"wnl you marry me II I take you to Seattle over

The woman was tired OF the sameness and the lin.
tied variety Of Kiondike grub. and the idea struck
her Just right. She agreed to become Mrs. sedgwick
II they arrived safely in Seattle. sedgwick then paid
Brand $4,000 for their transportation. which really
meant that he carry their provisions while they
walked or ran alongside Of the sled. They were ex.
tremely fortunate in getting up the river and across
the pass without accident. They had the best dog
team in the country. and took their time. They were
not troubled with the cold. and the woman stood the
trip fully as well as any OF the men. II she vas not
buoyed up by the thought of her approaching mar.
riage. sedgwick was, and his earnest eagerness to
roach tide water helped tho party along. They were
fortunate in catching an ocean steamer at skagway,
and reached Seattle much sooner than they expected.
Miss Keller is q pretty brunette, lightly built, a little
under medium height, and has extremely well-cut
features. Her eyes are deep. dark brown, and the
protticst things about her. She has n taste for proper
dresses. and has q chic air about her.

TOLEDO. Jan. 2O,-At KeIley's Island Joseph Folk
sold his two daughters for 500. giving them In lieu
OF money. each to satisfy a debt OF $40 which he
could not otherwise meet.
A year ago Folk left his home and family In Poland
to seek his fortune In America. making his way to
Keiley's Island. where he worked and prospered.
Then his wife died. and the sad news came to him
that his young daughters were in want. He had not
enough money to send for then. but he borrowed
$50 each from Peter Mile and Joseph Hidock. who
were earning more than he, to pay their passage
across the ocean. A couple OF weeks ago they mr..
rived and were warmly received. But the money
loaned by .Mille and Hidock was due. and Folk could
not pay It. They pressed him. and finally the old
man said he was afraid lie could never pay 1t. but to
satisfy the debts he would give one OF his daughters
TO each for a wife, and this proposition was accepted.
Mary Folk. aged 10 and beautiful, was chosen by
Hidock. ana Anne Folk. the younger and more beau
tifui, by Mile. Yesterday was the wedding day.

The two hobos who struck town Tues
day evening and gave an alleged open
air show on Main street were rendered
an "egg socialn by a number OF admir-
ing friends q, just prior 10 their de-
parture, which occurred during the still,
small hours OF the night.
The fellows gave an exhibition, which
was the bummest OF the bum, except
for the quantity OF immaculate gall which
was the chief feature and Of first water
purity. After short exhibition OF
tumbling which was half decent, and the
perpetration Of string OF gray-whisker-
cd, bald-headed gage which were not,
the hat was passed and the good natured
crowd donated $3.50 to the yagrants IN
the hope that the show was over. The
fellows were not satisfied, however, and
kept the hat going IL times around, de-
manding 20 cents more. Small change
being ut a premium In Condor it was
decided TO give them the amount in
"trade,n and as soon as the proper
quantity of choice hen fruit OF the vint-
age OF ,97 could be secured the "egp
social" was pulled Off, and liking Rich

Movement for Water Works

The proposition OF securing an adequate
supply OF water for fire protection and
other purposes received considerable
attention at the council meeting, Mon
day evening The plan finally decided
upon Is to construct wooden tank, ON
the high ground east OF town, having q
capacity OF 10000 gallons. The water
supply is to be drawn from the natural
spring, and reservoir in Main street, to
be pumped into the tank by means OF
a gasoline engine. The tank will be
elevated on foundation OF earth and
rock work to sufficient height to al
ford ample pressure to throw water to
the top Of any building IN the town.
The estimate OF the cost OF the plnnt
complete, made by the council 10 $4,000,
and II 10 possible that the work may be
completed for less than that amount,
The council decided to talk the matter
up until next Monday evening", when
another meeting will be held, and u the
citizens generally seem to approve ol
the plan II Is likely that an election VIII
be ordered, at which time the PROPOSE,
tion Of bonding the town for $4,000 VIII
be submitted TO vote oil the people
The city now has about 81 900 IN III
treasury, and as the present income iron
licenses alone is 5000 per year IL seem'
that such proposition should carry by
unanimous vote,
