The Ash Iian,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Will some one kindly rise and explain this
ridiculous restriction which prohibits the
drivers of the ash carts from entering our
yards for debris? The other day in one of
our neighboring yards two ladies and an
invalid gentleman were observed struggling
to ger can of ashes to the gate while the
ash gentleman awaited with suave COM
placency while contemplating the efforts of
these persons to maintain the benevolent
principle of equal division of labor which
has been imposed upon the citizens of
Washington by the philanthropy of our
honorable Commissioners in the liberation

Betting in Wall street is done on such a
large scale that II may almost be consid-
cred 10 have dignity. There has already been
a lot Of 1t in the present presidential cam
palgn. but ii is said that still larger sums of
money are ready for wagers on Mr.. Bryan
and President Mckinley when the excite
ment increases with the approach of cleo
ton day The stock exchange members by
no means have monopoly OF this business
for business II undoubtedly is since q num-
Der of the curb brokers have been looming
up this year as handlers of the political
money. Thus far this year Louis Wormser
and Bell & Company have placed the great
est amount in political wagers of any other
members of the stock exchange and j. j.
Judge has figured with especial prominence
In this respect among the brokers on the
curb. Not all the bets made in Wall street
get into the newspapers by any means and
II has been estimated that from the way
the betting has started in already this year
1T Will involve more than 81 600 600 The
gubernatorial campaign in this state also
promises to excite considerable betting
Comparatively few wagers were laid on
the probable size of the republican majority
in Vermont last week, and none have yet
been reported on the election in Maine this
week, though Wall street has taken consid-
cradle interest in these initial state elections
in New England, as in every other presiden-
tial year.

LETTER CARRIER REGISTRATION.
Inc Augusta Possibilities Selected as One To
lnausuTate the New system.

IL was announced, a few days ago
thal very soon the system of regis
tfatlon of valuable letters or packages
by the letter carriers would be inaup-
urated. ON and after Monday. Jan
uary $, any person within Augusta free
delivery desiring to have a letter or
package registered Will be able ia d,
50 ,hy.Siving the same with the money
u .tfe letter carrier passing the door.
N receipt Will be given for the same
exactly as If brought to the post Office.
ltselI and the same security rendered
by the government for its safe trans
mission.
The registered mail goes at 10 A. NJ.
ana 3.i5 =. Nj, going west. and at 80
+. NJ. and 80 =. NJ, going east. The
sd +. NJ train west takes only regis
tered matter for offices in Maine.
by the above, the readers of the
journal will see that it is unnecessary
TO give carriers registered mail either
on the late afternoon or evening deiiv-
cries. as in either case the forwarding
OF the registered mail could not be ac-
complished until the next day. and il
would necessitate an extra trip of the
carrier to the post Office at consider
able inconvenience. Patrons Of the
service should bear this in mind, and
1t will prevent any misunderstanding
as to the Willingness of the carrier to
assist them.
The Augusta office is one of the very
rev that has been selected to inaugur-
ate this new system of letter carrier
registration. and it is regarded as a
very high compliment to each office 50
chosen, as the instructions sent out
distinctly call attention to the fact that
each office selected is chosen with re-
gard TO the known ability and enter
prise Of the postal force at that point
The Well-knoWn courtesy and viii
lingneSS of the Augusta letter carriers
makes the success of the system in this
city an assured fact from the start.
and il will undoubtedly prove great
benefit and convenience to the public
generally. 1t is to be hoped that TIN
public generally will avail itself of this
Improvement in the system whenever
it is necessary to register a letter: ana
at all times when sending money or
valuable packages it Will be much bet
ter to send by registered mail which
only requires fee Of eight cents 70
insure perfect safety.
