g ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Spanish-American war marked a
new point in the era Of progress in the
postal service of this country and fair
ly demonstrated that postal sys-
ten was able to meet with efficiency
and promptness unforeseen e~Xigencies,
which in a less thoroughly organized
public enterprise would have caused
almost endless confusion and perplex-
ity.
1t is true that in the first stages Of
our occupancy of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines there was some confu-
sion and delay in the transmission of
malls, but the promptness with which
order was brought out of chaos showed
the ability of the postofiice department
to grasp and nriN.e the new and com
pick situatiou Ii was no holiday task
to ingraft oar progressive notions Of
postal transmission upon Spain's effete
and archaic system.
The readers Of newspapers are al
ready quite familiar with the story Of
our postal operations during the milf
tary campaign in the West Indies and
the establishment and maintenance of
M4E
mail facilities in Cuba and Porto Rico
since the close of hostilities, though
comparatively little has been written
regarding the operations in the Philip
pines and the great obstacles which
We're encountered in getting anything
like an efficient service.

1t was the purpose of the new postal
authorities to first seize all the postage
stamps; but it was discovered that
there were none in the office to seize.
1t was found that under the Spanish
system all stamps were sold by an Off
Ger corresponding to our collector of in
ternal revenue. al d discount to private
individuals, who in turn sold to the

quently was, the would be purchaser
OF stamps had to search for them in
the small shops.
The whole postal outfit was found to
be very crude. There was not such a
thing as a letter case for distribution;
that is to say, cases with pigeon holes

Letters We're placed in large cup
boards on shelves and taken ott when
dispatch was to be made and sorted on

boards, each with folding doors, with
shelves labelod to show what mail they

The boxes for city delivery were ar
ranged around three sides Of a quad
rangular space, of which the fourth side
faced the lobby and had two delivery
windows. Every boNholder had issued
TO him a pasteboard receipt, and this
was presented by the party calling for
mail.
The general delivery case with it's
many little boxes for separation Of
mail alphabetically, to expedite deliv-
cry, is an unknown quality in Manila.
There was a carrier service in con-
nection with the Manila p~ostofice, but
1t was of the crudest sort. The carriers
We're paid no salaries by the govern
ment, but depended for a living upon
the fees they collected from the re-
cipients Of the letters. The usual
charge was 2 cents for a letter and j
1cent for a paper. There was an entire
lack Of system in the delivery, and it
is a marvel that any letters ever reach
ed their proper destination.
These were some of the obstacles
the American postal officers had to en-
counter. There was the added COM
plication of conducting the office in
two languages. 1t was found advisa-

Later the supreme court Of Califor-
MIA held that such o marriage was in
valid, but Mr.. and Mrs. Kinsey long
before that had promptly settled the
matter for themselves. Their daugh-
ter was guarded at home, and young
Barillas left for Guatemala, whence

to marry him despite all opposition.

invitation from Nine. Barillas, Mrs.
Kinsey and her two daughters paid a

saw Miss Kinsey, who is strangely
like the women of the southland,
agreed that her sons devotion was jus

CAPTAIN CAREY'S GENEROSITY
some Incidents That Illustrate His
G0Od Nature.

There was sudden hush in the stir
and hustle of business when the news
Of the death Of Captain J. B. Carey
reached this city last week
The sorrow and grief was not confined
to his family or to his circle of friends;
it came as q personal loss TO many.
Captain J. B. Carey was respected and
beloved for his patriotism, good citizen
ship and benevolence by all who knew
him. He was a man of great power,
Strength Of character and perseverance.
Whatever task he undertook he worked
at it faithfully and finished it nobly. He
was a good officer a wise father, a gen
erous friend. Although his time was
taken up by work, he always had a
leisure moment for those who needed his
advice, his assistance, or his cheering
words A few incidents may illustrate
this trait of his character:
A friend received the following note
from Mr.. Carey one day after his re-
moval to California:
Dear A.: Before my departure,
Pastor S. S. had asked me for a dona-
ton toward his church. The matter al
most slipped my mind but ! am glad 1
think of it today. AS I consider every
church a od\institutiOn In community
I will gladly help to build another one
in my dear Wichita. Please remit the
enclosed check to Pastor s. S. and
oblige. Yours, ]. B. CAREY"
The power of Mr.. Carey's individuality
with his fellow citizens is shown in the
following: A neighbor one day met Mr..
Carey and, contrary to habit, passed
gloomily on his way Mr.. Carey's quick
eye detected depression Of mind. What
Is the matter. Mr.. A. p called he. "A
little disappointment, said Mr. A. II
need three bondsmen on my paper Hav
Ing been elected to a responsible pO-
sition, I asked some of my friends to
whom 7 have done service on similar oc-
casions. They refused me and I will not
ask anybody any more" "Ha" laughed
Mr. Carey, you simply have selected
the wrong hour Of the day to make your
application Give me that paper. I Will
return It before evening in correct shape"
The paper was handed over, and, before
three hours had elapsed it was returned
with a list of twelve bondsmen, headed
by J. B. Carey.
The schools, and especially the school
children of the city. derived many a
handsome benefit from Mr. Carey's gen
erosity. The widow and the fatherless
came in, likewise. for a share Of his
thoughtful guardianship. Thus the kind
" deeds are recorded in the hearts Of
grateful men. erecting there a more last
ing monument than that which is chisel-
