I overheard bit of conversation on a

week, says writer in the Washington Post.
She was pretty girl and she belonged to
the number of those pretty girls who are
forever longing to be told of their beauty.
She was with blue-eyed young man who
looked as if he had seen IS summers and a
great many other things more educational
She was talking of girl called Maud
Don't you think Maud is awfuily pref

man.
The girl dangled bait more obvious.

PLIGHT oF TEXAS PosTMAsTERs
Many suffer by the Storm and Appeal
to the Department for Aid.

The aftermath of the Galveston storm
is being received by postal officials here
in the way of pathetic letters from coun-
try postmasters throughout Texas. ask
ing Cor relief. The hurricane swept over
an immense territory in the Lone Star
State. ana nearly every Office in its path
suffred more or less from the tornado
Up to the present time the postmast srs
in charge of them have scarcely straight
ened out their affairs sufficiently to dis
cover what the losses are. They have
however. reported to the Department
here the fact that the storm has swept
away their Offices, and they ask for such
relief as the Government can give.
The Department officials will pursue a
liberal policy in crediting the pcstnas-
ters in the storm swept region with this
supplies that were lost. Under their
bonds each of these postmasters is re-
sponsible for all of his stamps and other
Government property that was lost. The
officials here are doing their hest to dis
cover how much the loss probably was
In each case, so as to relieve the sirGg
Cling postmasters. The task is likely to
be made difficult by the fact that in many
instances all the books of the Texas
offices were swept away. Most CT The
losses thus far reported have occurred
in small fourth-class postofiices. TIE
fixtures there are owned by the pc mas
ters themselves, and the loss OF the cab
inets and cases cannot be made good by
the Government.
Among the letters that are coming in
by the score are many that are infinitely
sad. Others would be funny were it not
for the surrounding circumstances, One
postmaster tells Of the death of his
mother in the storm and the serious in
jury of his wife. I'VE have not erumb
in the house to eat" he adds, "and / will
not take the pauPer's oath in order to
get charity supplies from the relief COM
mission. so l guess there is nothing for
us to do but to starye."
Another postmaster reports that the
people of his neighborhoOd escaped lust
in time to see their houses sit down"
Here is one letter more interesting On
account OF it's spelling than anything
else:
"Postoffice Department, Washington:
We ask you to point p. m. here at once:

NEW YoRK's ITALIAN QUARTER.
Plans to Improve Its Social and In
dustrini Condition.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.--The University
Settlement Society, which for several
years has been working to improve social
and Industrial conditions east of the Bow
cry, is planning to extend its work to
the Italian quarter west Of that thor
oughfare.
At present the plans are merely In
skeleton form, but within month it is
expected that headguarters-Tfin be es-
tablished in the heart of the Italian dis
trict. Head Worker James 3. Reynolds
spent some days last week looking over
the ground
The new settlement will be either In
the Mulberry Street district or in the
Italian quarter around Thompson, Sulli-
van, and Macdougal Streets. Clubs for
boys and girls. young men and women
VIII be established on the same plan as
those which have been so successful else
where, and special attention will be de-
voted to teaching sanitation and better
care OF the home.
One of the worst conditions to be found
in Italian quarters, Mr. Reynolds says,
is the padrone system. under which the
laborers become the virtual slaves of the
shrewder of their countrymen and under
which large portion OF the wages 20
into the pockets of the labor agent.
There is also the problem of dealing with
the numerous small and irres DC rs :hle
bankers, who are generally the raGr mes.
The settlement will probably also es-
tabiish employment agencies and banks
in the hands of reputable managers.
where laborers can be provided with en-
ployment and their earnings cartd for.

squad for every batch of miners and en-
tire companies for working trains. few
days ago the miners refused to go to work
on a train manned by deputies and they
are still more averse to going with SOL
diers The miners have said this today
and many will act accordingly. They open
ly state that they will wait until the de-
parture Of the soldiers. The labor leaders
claim that on Saturday and today at least
1000 miners in meetings voted not to go
near the collieries for a few days at least.
The whistles at all the mines will be
sounded, however, and an opportunity given
to all to begin work. There are many who
predict that there will be very little coal
cut on Monday. Others, however, are in
clined to believe that the collieries will all
start up fairly full-handed-
News from other points in this district
indicate no change. All was quiet and no
serious disturbances are reported and
none is expected tonight. At Mahanoy
City it is probable that strong military
detachment will be on guard at dawn. Two
trains Of armed deputies are out. one at
Ashland and another at Mahanoy City. The
men are well provisioned and freight car
kitchen is attached to each train. Their
engines have steam up and the trains will
be ready to rush in any direction in the
morning where resumption is to be at

About 1.500 loaded cars of coal are at St.
Clair and Paolo Alto to be sent down the
road tonight. The usual shipment of emp
ty cars is proceeding TO the coal regions.

leties" in this country. He was born in
this city and after receiving his early edu-
cation in the public schools went to Yale
College, where he was graduated
From the time he left Yale until his
death he was more or less actively en-
gagged in the pursuit OF athletics. He made
a reputation rs n professional oarsnIan
soon afteI leaving college. and out of fifty
four starts he won forty eight races. Yale
crews received the benefit Of his instruc-
tion in the early days OF college rowing.

CHARGES AGAINST DEPUTIES.
a PeddIer Alleges They. Robbed Him
In FreeInndi

HAzLEToN. Pa, Sept. 2s.2An occur
renee which has attracted general atten-
tion here is the alleged robbery of beer
peddler in Freeland, town ten miles
north of here, last night, by three deputy
sheriffs The three deputies implicated
are Burt Howard, Hamilton Farnham,
and Robert Shoemaker, all the sons of
well known men in Wilkesbarre.

night on the way to Freeland, and when
a mile or two from there was stopped by
the three men named who asked him to
give them a ride to Freeland. He con-
sented, but when within short distance
of their destination the three men. it IS
alleged, drew revelYers. overpowered
Yascavage, and robbed him of S1s7. Tney
then ran away, followed by Yascavage,
erving Thief! Murder, Pol.ce," The
cries attracted the attention of Psliee-
men Filler and kulp who, after hearing
Yascavage's story arrested Farnham,
Shoemaker, and Howard at the Central
Hotel. They were taken before Squire
Shovelin. who held them and ordered
them locked up on the charge of highway
robbery and assault and battery.
News of the occurrence had in the mean
time been spread about and large and
excited crowd gathered about the squire.s
office Fearing if the accused were put
into the fimsy lookup. violence might be
done them. Sheriff Harvey. who was pres
ent. determined to take them to the county
Jail at Wilkesbarre. At o'clock this
morning he procured a team ard drove
them to White Haven and thence brought
them by rail to Wilkesbarre. There alt
three procured bondsmen and were re-
leased.
Sheriff Harvey. who is well acquainted
with all three of the young men, gives an
entirely different version OF the affair. He
says that the Markles have a regulation
forbidding the sale of iRtoxicants on their
property by beer peddlers, and the three
deputies had stopped Yascayage and told
him of this. forbidding him to proceed any
further. They told him, however. that they
would not make things unpleasant for him
if he would give them ride to Freeland
where they wanted to go to spend the night
in the hotel there. Yascavage consented
and drove them to Freeland When they
got there. however. he demanded so cents
fare for the ride from each of them They
refused, jumped off the wagon, and went
to the hotel. They had not robbed the
man. AS matter of fact. when searched
at the squire's office neither Yascayage's
wallet nor any money was found upon
them, other than small amounts which
they claimed as their own.

Drilling and Training.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-Gen. William
Ludlow. who went to Europe in July TO
study the military systems there, having
in view the formation of an American
War College, returned today on the Paris.
He said that he had found the German mill
itary system the best.
He found the German officers the hardest
worked of any in Europe. They appeared
to be drilling and training their men all
the time from daylight to dark They had
little leisure and not much time to stop.
One of the results of this hard training
was the ability of Germany to mobilize an
army Of a million men within ten days.
