THE YEARS FAILURES.

"Bradstreets" says: The years record IS an
exceptional one. and were 1t not for few large
failures in the last two morths Of the year, that
period as a whole would have been fairly entitled
to the appellation Of phenomenal Though the
years record is not yet complete, and the re-
turns as to assets and liabilities stil more or
less vague, II may be stated with fair degree or
certainty that the total number OF failures based
upon complete returns for eleven months and
partial for December, will be In the neigh
borhood Of $3.50, certainly little IN excess Of that
number a total smaller than in the preceding year
by II per cent. 26 per cent fewer than In 1891 50
per cent lower than in 1896. 25 per cent smaller
than IN either 1885 1894 and 40 cent less than
in 1893, the year OF panic memory. AS compared
with 1892 there is shown a decrease Of 8 per
cent. and the number OF failing traders. firms or
corporations is in fact the ghtest since 1882 seven
teen years ago. AS regards liabilities. while the
showing is not so good expected there is a rea-

HIS SALARY ONE CENT.
Remarkable Compensation of Il Wis
consin Vail Carrier.


Iowa county. Wisconsin. lays claim 10
having the lowest saIaried official In the
employ OF the United States Government
The Government hires Frank Lynch for
! cent q year 10 carry the mail between
the county seat OF iowa county and Mn
eral Point. a distance Of niue miles.
Il is the law that such employees shall
be paid quarterly. but Lynch. although
be has been carrying the mails regularly
since last July has as yet received no
quarters Of q cent or checks for those
amounts The young nan is not look
ing for any remittances on his -aIary
until next July. when he expects a check
for a whole cent Il is supposed this
viii be the smallest cheek ever issued BY
the Government. and efforts have al
ready been made 10 secure possession OF
H. The mail carrier has received several
offers OF $l5 or $50 for the check, but he
has so far warily avoided any definite
eutangleme1ts.
Both D0dgeville and Mineral Point
have railroads. but there IS none be-
tyeeG the two towns. The trip from one
place TO the other by rail is so r0undz-
bout that IL Is out Of the question. so
Passengers and mail are driven across
the country Whoever has the contract
for carrying the mail feels that ne is
certsin Of all the passenger trade. for no
oGe has yet had the courage TO compete
for passenger business with the United
States mail carrier. For this reason the
transfer OF the mail is deemed a valuable
privilege.
In the winter time the presence or ab-
sence OF snow generally determines the
comfort or discomfort of the trip. When
there IS sleighing. the mail carrier takes
his passengers across the country as
snug as bug in a rug. On q pair OF
bObs he has a lOng-bOdied hOxed-iu
affair, which looks more like a freight
car than anything else In the centre
OF this box is a stove. and about the
sides are seats for passengers. who enter
by little door in the rear OF the car. A
rousing fire is kept going in the little
stove, and the trip is made without the
least discomfort
