Bishop Coleman Does Not
Believe Cruelty Stories.

In reply to tho accusations OF Charles
and Of William H. Banks Of No 206 Jef-
fsrson street that the st. Miohael's Day
Nursery at No. 207 Washington street is o
nuisance and that the Juvenile Inmates
have been frequently abused, Bishop
Coleman says: MY attention was drawn
to the article by friend at the institu-
tlon. lam not inclined to say anything
In reference TO It. except that so FIR asIy
knowledge md belief extend the charges
of cruelty are utterly unfounded. AS may
easily be understood, such conduct as is
alleged would be entirely inconsistt Mt
with the character of the institution aud
with the character of those who have been
managing it.
"if these charges can be substantiated,
proper remedies will bo applied. II they
cannot be, and feel that they cannot be,
then those who have made them sho1ld
be held up to public scorn and reproba-
ton"
Agent Frank Stout, OF tho Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children,
will make thorough investigation of tho
condition of affairs at the Nursery This

SUNDAY Opening of Post-Omce.


Owing to the fact That some of our
citizens feel aggrieved by reason of the
change made in the hour Of opening
the post-ot1ice on Sunday, and wishing
to correct any misrepresentation in
their minds regarding the duties and
requirements relative to such matters
we herewith quote the rule prescribed
by the department governing the hour
Of opening and delivery of mail on
Sunday.
Sec. 49, provides aS follows: when
the mail arrives on Sunday the post
master will keep his Office open for
one hour, or more, after the arrival
and assortment thereof. if the public
convenience require it, for the deliv-
cry of the same only. If it be re-
ceiyed during the time Of public wor-
ship the opening of the post-Otfice will
be delayed until services have closed
He need not open his office during the
day Of Sunday if no mail arrive after
the closing OF the Office on Saturday,
aud before & O'Clock on Sunday after
noon. While open, stamps may be
sold to any one applying for them: but
money orders must not be issued nor
paid, nor letters registered on that
t't5 ICIlNCIS VII CuIOtlJ lIItiSU llOU NC
restricted to box holders, but made to
all who call while the office is open. -
The general rules of the department
further require the postmaster to fix
the hour of opening the office on Sun
day, SO as to accommodate the larger
number of its patrons. BY careful
and impartial reading of the above re-
quirements and rule given by the de-
partment, it will be apparent that in
making this change we have been
guided by our instructions relative to
such matters rather than by any de-
sire upon our part to impose unreaSOn-
able and arbitrary rules upon our
patrons or any OF them. The facts
requiring said change are as follows:
LIST. The change in time of arrival
of Sundays train prevents our getting
the mail assorted and ready for de
livery until after the hour of l. m.
md. Owing to Il change in the hour
Of closing services at the Catholic
church in this city, to-wit: 1870 p.
m, renders it necessary to hold the
