Postmaster Irwin Back From
Washington
ATTENDED THE SESSION
Of the National Association of Post
masters Several Recon-
mendatiOns Made.
ATTENDED THE SESSION

POSTMASTER George w. Irwin returned
yesterday from he east. He attended
the second annual convention of the Ma
tiOlal Association of Postnlasters held
at washington. He also made a flying
trip to his old home in Lancaster, Pa.
and spent a few days visiting his sister
in Kansas.
THE most important business trans
acted by the ~postmasters' said Mr.. Irwin
to-day, was the recommendation of a
cheap system of money orders, provid-
ing that a money order may be issued
for any amount under % cents at a cost
Of one cent, graduated up to a dollar at
a cost OF three cents. The object of the
measure is to relieve the local mer-
chants of the necessity of receiving post
age stamps for nail orders. These money
orders Will be sent to postoffices of any
grade. Other recommendations made to
congress were the classification Of postal
clerks and the fixing of their salaries by
law instead of by the departments and
the adjustment of the second class rate
on novels. etc, which go through the
mails at the neWspaper rate Of one cent
a pound.
Two sessions of the National Associa-
ton Of postmasters have been held. the
delegates paying their own expenses to
and from their places of meeting. There
mas never been a proposition before the
convention that would enetit the post
master individually, but every matter dis
cussed has been nOn-partisan and all for
the single purpose of the betterment of
the service. The next convention will
be held at Peoria, Ill, the date being left
to the executive committee consisting of
the president, secretary and seven men,

is even better. In Pennsylvania, in the

1t is estimated that the capacity of the
various manufactures have been in

To supply the foreign demand for build

turers, have hit on the plan of leasing

Mr.. Irwin looks the picture OF good
health and his trip, he says, was a most
enjoyable one.

STATISTICS OF OUR RAILWAYS.
Summaries From the Report of the Inter.
State Commerce Commission.

State Commerce COlnlulsSlOus
From summaries which appear in the
tenth statistical report OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. prepared by ITS
statistican, it Is shown that on june 30,
1897, the total railway mileage In the United
States was 1S4, ,425 miles, and the number
OF railway corporations was 1887. The
number OF men employed by the railways
in the United States at that time was $685.

standing was so. $50, ,O03 ,074, which assigned
on mileage basis shows capital OF S53, ,62O
per mile Of line,
The preliminary report on the income
account OF railways in the United States
for the year ending June 80, 1888, prepared
by the statistician to the commission, pre-
sents concisely the results Of tie opera
tions OF the railways for the last hscal
wear. This advance report includes the
returns of T2O lines, representing an oper-
ated mileage on June 50, 1893, OF 1871 1882
miles, or Of ninety-seven per cent. of the
operated mileage in the United States.
The total gross earnings OF the mileage
represented were 81 .23S, ,523 $50 for the year
ending June 80, 1898. The distribution OF
these earnings shows that 1882 1892, 1882 were
derived from the passenger service and
SS74,865, ,4S7 from the freight service. Other
earnings from operation amounted to $780,

railways during the year were $S1l ,24l ,458.
The net earnings for the year were $427,-

Since the enactment OF the safety appli-
ance law in 1898 there has been decreas-
ing number OF casualties. There were 1894
fewer employees killed, and 1852 fewer To-
jured during the year ending June 80, 1897,
than during ths same period in 1893. These
results have been largely due to automatic
couplers and other safety appliances made
imperative by the act.

trains, long tight sleeves and high
tight collars, but on these things the
dressmakers are going to exercise an
improving influence. They are pledged
to cut every gown en- traine, even the
pretty muslins and dimities and the
adorable chintzes that are glorifying
the openings, and they have sworn
themselves not to make another silk
or cotton dress without an overskirt.
These draperies will at first be only

Two Noisy Nations.

It seems strange that two nations SO
antipodal in the matter of ideals as the
United States and China should share
the distinction of being great noise
loving people. Yet it is fact that
the two countries consume nearly all
the frecrackers each year, manu-.
factured by the wives and children OF
the Chinese cracker merchants. Eng.
land annually buys small quantity
of the explosives. Other countries
take only infnitesimal amounts. Here
in America the frecracker is the small
boys legitimate medium for express.
ing his patriotic approval of great
National event. His enthusiasm ex.
pends itself in q day, and consequently
the noise of countless numbers of ex.
ploding crackers lasts but short
time.
Not so in the Orient. There the
use of firecrackers is not limited by
age opposition. Their useis universal
and has been as far back as history
records. 1t is likely that in the be-
ginning they were employed to
frighten away evil spirits. But as
the country partially emerged from
its dense ignorance, and shook off a
part of its load of superstitions, the
cracker became an expression of good
will and of ceremonious compliment.
Now the exploding of firecrackers is
as much of an incident at wedding
festivities in China as the throwing of
rice or old shoes is here. Not only is
the marriage feast enlivened by the
cracker, but births and funerals, and
festivals, religious, civil and military
ceremonies bring the cracker into
play. Also they are used at New
Years to salute persons about to
make a journey, and, in fact, on all
occasions out of the ordinary routine.

not only be sincere in our beliefs but they
must be right beliefs. Otherwise our very
sincerity tends to lead us farther and farther
astray. Hence nothing Is more important
to ones own Christian progress than to make
sure that 1t Is the substantial, eternal truth

can do for others is more necessary than to :

An All.Seasons' Garment.

Spring, summer, autumn and win
ter, all see one garment that is al
together popular, and that is the
separate waist. No matter what may
be said. to the contrary, no matter
what laws the dressmakers try to en-
act, the convenient fashion still rules
that it is necessary to have separate
waists in all thorough outfits.
Cloth costumes will be worn for
many years to come, unless there is
some great revolution in fashion. The
style is one that is so practical that it
commends itself to every one; but
cloth costume, as a rule, consists of
coat and skirt, and under this coat it
is necessary to have waist Of some
other material. Cloth under cloth is
never suitable to wear; it is too heavy
and too warm. The silk, satin, or
