A Sign of Prosperity.
,m the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
The announcement is made by the
department. at Washington that the re-
grading of postoffices this year, which
is made to take effect on July 1, will
show greater number of increases in
salary than ever before. The pay OF
postmasters below the highest grade is
determined by the amount of business
done at their respective offices. A con-
siderable elevation in grade, therefore,
shows marked increase in the use of
the mails by the public. This is con-
firmed by figures of the receipts of the
department to date, which show an in
crease of about SIS, 900 from the aver
age of recent years.
There is a sure sign of prosperity in
all this, and it is prosperity not only
in local or special fields, but widespread
throughout the land. It is in good
times that people write letters, send
out circulars, distribute books and
periodicals.. 1t is in hard times that
they limit their correspondence and the
the activity of their communications
The postal revenues are a safe barom-
eter of the general business, and Just
now they show a high pressure.

Miss Walsh's Butte Engagement Will
Close Tonight.

Miss Walshs Butte Engagement VIII
Close Tonight.
This country has only few actresses
| of high rank, and Blanche Walsh's sue
cess in the Sardou plays adds another
| name to the roll so short.
Excepting the very old women or ac-
| tresses who play old women, women On
the stage seldom disguise their faces or
| figures for making various characters
different; as, for example, Mr.. Mansfield
| DISCUSSES himself. In this respect, SUI
perficial vet immensely important in
| compelling complete illusion, there
are no character actresses on the stage.
There may be a French accent, or u
breathless quickness of speech, or lisp,
or habit in gesture, or even limp
but it is always pretty nearly the same
personality after all.
If the principal actors find advantage
in having their faces always the same,
how much more the actresses, with
whom looks count even more? Ada
Rehan in 1.-THE Country Girl was really
10 and in THE Tanning of the Shrew'
quite %, but what actress among our
conspicuous players makes even so dis
tinct a difference as that between her
several parts? The character acting"
among the women comes from within.
1t is qualities of the soud. And thus
Julia Marlowe as Juliet is an unso-
phisticated girl and as Beatrice she is
a woman whose wit has been sharp
ened by friction with grown-ups; and
it is the same countenance differently
disposed. So, Mary Mannering in 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda," is stately, sweet
and bred exaltedly, while in 1.-THE Prin-
cess and the Butterfly" she is warm
blooded and grown like the weed-and
yet Mary Mannering still. Miss Walsh
shows such versatility as this. She ex-
hibits the the emotions which Blanche
Walsh would have If she were passed
through vortex of life as this in Fee
dora" or that in La Tosca." In most
of the characters of the Davenport rep
ertory it Is the tigress, Gagged, at large,
at bay, on forage. It is tremendous
strain on the vital forces.
The Butte engagement will close to-
night with another performance of La
Tosca."

PETIT LARCENY.

That Is the Charge to Which Charles and

witnesses for the state in the trial of
Charles Pierson for receiving stolen
property knowing 1t to have been

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, April 1S.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow:
The feature of the wool market dur
ing the past week has been the sale of
a considerable amount of territory wool
for export taken by English parties,
who are supposed to have paid for the
same about 3S cents, clean. There have
been free exports of Australian wool
also, which has been held here in bond,
the purchasers paying from 40 to 4S
cents, clean. The market presents a
remarkable condition of affairs. With
a duty of II cents per pound on fine
woods, We behold the singular spectacle
of domestic product selling at such a
low price as to warrant the eXporta-
ton. The general market has been
fairly active, the sales for the past
week aggregating nearly 100000
pounds. The demand has been chiefly
for territories, grading fine medium.
Prices are steady and unchanged, but
any attempt to secure an advance in
stantly checks negotiations between
buyers and sellers.
The sales of the past week have been
made at as low prices as have been
seen this year for the same quality of
stuff.
The sales of the week at Boston
amounted to 3,27O,OOO pounds domestic
and 1861 900 pounds foreign, making a
total of 4931, 500 pounds. against total
of 1887 500 for the previous week and a
total of 1,151,000 pounds for the CORE
spending week last year.
Sales since Jan. l. 1899, amount to
61,935, 800 pounds, against 41,S7O,S10
pounds last year at this time.

Lively Discussion of the Meat Bill in the
Reichstag.

Berlin. April 1S.-Dr. vielhaben,
speaking in the reichstag on the meat
inspection bill to-day said that the
American inspection bill was unsatis-
factory and that American firms, in
order to reward Senator Mason for his
advocacy of retaliation against Ger
man protection, had called an extra
fine ham Mason ham, and it was now
said that they intended to call another
one a 'Buelow' ham"
The president again censured the
speaker, who then launched into a
criticism of American politics. The
president once again stopped DR. Well
haben and the latter, concluding his
speech, said he hoped his remarks
would contribute to the conversion of
the bill into a protective measure for
German meats. These words were
greeted with rightist cheers.
Herr Filpert. fressinnge party;
Count Won Bonstroff reichs party, and
Herr Debor. fressininse. also made
speeches and declared that the bill was
not acceptable in it's present form.
Baron Won Wagenheim, conservative
member of the agrarian league, urged
a close control Of imported meat say
ing that irregularities had occurred at
Hamburg and elsewhere. Continuing,
he asserted that the provisions of the
bill regarding foreign meat was a blow
and that consequently the business of
the country was indescribable.
In further debate Herr Roosiclle,
aeracian, described the growth of the
American wholesale meat trade, which
he asserted was now entirely in the
hands of speculative capitalists. The
speaker aslo alleged that the most in
ferior and most questionable meat was
often used for canning. This. he said,
was particularly the case of late and
such unfair competition could not be
met by the home meat industry. There
fore. foreign competition must I'M
doubtedly be restricted by legislation.
Herr Richsardt director of the COM
mercial department of the foreign office.
in the absence of the minister of for
eign affairs, replied to DR.. Vielhaben,
saying Baron Buelow, like Prince Bis
marck. would not allow himself to be
deferred by the eulogies of the Ameri-
| can or other foreign press and would
| take such measures as he recognized
| to be right and proper The bill was
| then referred to a committee and the
house adjourned.
