AGAIN DELAYED IN MOVING.
PcstOGice VIII Not Get Into the New
Building before Aug. 1.

Postmaster Doyle finds il impossible TO
move into the new building tomorrow, as
expected. owing TO the large amount OF
work yet to be done. 1t was thought some
weeks ago that the interior work would be
far enough along TO enable the depart
ment to go into it's new quarters al this
time, but il is found there is still mucn
work to do. which cannot be done If there
is any interference.
During the week letters have been -e-
ceived from Washington on the subject Of
moving, which indicate that The postofiice
department is anxious for the local office
TO get into its new quarters. While the
Office work has been moving along smooth
ly. the department has had TO work under
adverse conditions, such as being In quar-
ters entirely too small in the new build
ing the mails can be handled with more
facility, ana for this reason it is desired
10 embrace as soon as possible, the n
creased facilities offered in the new build
ing. Moreover, the department is becom-
ing a little impatient as moving was on
the programme some time ago, but was de-
layed for several reasons.
The failure of the new furniture to ar
rive from Chicago is one Of the draw
backs, but il is stated this could be easily
provided for by using the old furniture
temporarily. 1t was not desired to do this
If there was any way out Of it, however,
as the department wishes everything in
the new building to be like a new pin.
They di int care to take any rubbish
there. For this reason the disappointment
caused by the delay Of the contractors
is not so great after all.
Postmaster Doyle said yesterday he eX-
poets by all means TO establish the office
in the new building by Aug. /. He has
consulted with the contractors, and has
been assured by them that everything Will
be in readiness for occupancy by that
time. Unless there is some Unforeseen
hindrance 1t is expected the public will
then be wandering Through the marble
halls" Of the new building.
Speaking Of the money order clearing
house feature. which it Is proposed TO add
to the service, Postmaster Doyle said he
had received assurances il was the thing
the business men had wanted for years.
The importance Of the Savannah office he
said entities il TO all the benefits being
received by offices in the larger cities,
and he intends to continue his efforts to
have all improvements added that will
bring mere public conVeniences. Without
rejecting upon his predecessors, he does
not see why Savannah has been without
the clearing house so long especially when
the banks have so promptly united in their
willingness to join in the scheme. The
convenience is as much for the banks as
il is for the public. however.

AnecdOte That illustrates the Virtue
of TenRcity of Purpose.


An amusing incident that occurred on
one of the cars of the street railway ply
ing between Savannah and Thunderbo.t,
attracted the attention and excited the
merriment of the passengers with whom
the car was crowded. 1t was just a day
or two ago
middle-aged woman, whose extraction
was very evident, accompanied by two
children, Closely resembling their mother.
hau boarded the car in the city and paid
the fare for herself and her progeny. The
younger of the two children was about >
or years Old. After the car had passed
the Bolton street junction and was on its
way to Thunderbot, the conductor began
again to collect fares. No tickets are
sold now, and a fare is taken up in the
city and again for the ride from The june

Just as the rifle range had been reached
the conductor approached the woman and
asked for the fare for herself and her
children. Immediately she bristl5d up.
