Fairmont and the B. and O. have
been having great time over some

TWO GAMES.
Morgantown Will See Two Elk
cellent Games Saturday.

ID. C. and A. G. Will be Here For a
Couple of Arguments game Won
by the Pittsburgers Already Hot
time Promised-Seneca VIII 60 to
Fairmont Overland and Play In the
Afternoon There.
Arrangements have been perfected
for two games with d. c. and A. G.
here on Saturday. The first time the
University met this team we were de-
feated by a score of fourteen TO thir-
teen in an eleven inning game. This
shows that we are very evenly match
ed and very warm time is promised.
The morning game will be called
about ten thirty and the afternoon at
three thirty Both of these games
will be very close and we hope to win
out but have great many chances
against us. Jake Hewitt who got
his training at the University will be
here to pitch against us and we have
hopes of showing him that he hasn't
learned all Of the game yet.
A great deal of interest is being
takenin the approaching games as they
are among the last to be played here
and very large crowds will be out TO
see them.
Seneca will go to Fairmont on Sat
urday afternoon to play with the
team up there. The men will not
get out Of the factory until noon and
they will then take teams and drive
up. They will return in the even
ing.
Seneca is in good shape and hopes
to make good showing. The trip
however will not do them any good
and they will do well to win by a
small score. Could they get up on
the noon train they would go into
the contest with much better chances.

BeUtUt Every WHITE II Is AhAUu 81
cells as Well as Letters Delivered
Money Orders From the Carriers
Other Towns also to Get it-G0od
News for the Farmers.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. June S-Mr.
A. B. Smith special agent of the post
office department in charge of the rur
al delivery system has been in Wash
ington for a day or two on official
business. 1t is his purpose to shortly
establish three routes in West Vir-
Grafton, Fairmont and Nor
gantown.
Mr.. Smith is pleased with the re-
suits in all places where the system
has been established. The effect has
been to accommodate large number of
people, increase the p0stotfice receipts
by augmenting opportunities for cor
respondence, and in many instances
securing much more revenue than is
required to maintain the service.
In one place West Chester, Pa,
Mr.. Smith says one carriers work
pays the salaries of the entire force Of
carriers. In many instances the rev.
enues for the first six months pay the
expenses of the year. This is not, of
course clear gain over previous condi-
tions, but there is an advance in the
sale of stamps by reason of increased
opportunities which is far in excess
of expectations.
In many localities it is understood
the new system has had the effect Of
abolishing star routes, at least for a
portion of the territory represented by
each, and this, the department finds
is an advantage, star routes but sell
dom if ever paying back to the gov
eminent the amount expended for
their maintenance. At Philippi,
West Virginia, where the carriers
have been at work but a month the
results in the number of pieces Of mail
handled and the impetus the system
gives to the postal business are most
flattering.
The privilege of having mail and
parcels-the first with the expenditure
of neither time nor money, the other
at the usual cost-delivered at each
farmhouse door, is popular from the
start, and, the officials say the fad
has come to stay.
Another innovation is soon to be
added-if, indeed, it is not already in.
troduced at points-which it is be-
lieved will do more than all else &c
render the system Indispensable. The
carriers on the rural routes are to be
empowered to attend oathe suburban
money order business that is, among
the patrons Of the Office from which
each carrier wends his daily way. A
special form of money order blank is
| being prepared for this use, and the
man who deliverers and collects mai
! from the farmhouses will be equipped
with the essentials for the transmits
/ sion Of money by mail and armed with
authority to receive the amounts Civ
ing the regulation receipts, and will
deliver the same TO the postmaster
/ That functionary will do the rest.
Mr.. Smith is not sure Of his dates
in the West Virginia sections named.
! He has other engagements which he
cannot ignore-the establishment OF
routes where the preliminaries are al
ready completed-bu he said he would
as soon as possible after meeting these
appointments take up and dispose OF
the cases at Fairmont, Grafton and
Morgantown respectively.
