Saluting the President.

Lieutenant Philip Andrews, U. s. NJ,
contributes to the July st. Nicholas an
article on Ceremonies and Etiquette
on a Man-of-War." Lieutenant Andrews
says:
The regulations of the navy set forth
just what honors shall be shown the
various high officials and military Of
ficers who visit our nen-of-war. The
practice follows closely that in vogue
by all nations. so that it would be
very difficult to leave out any of the
en-. That more simplicity in the honors
shown officials would be better suited
to our republican form of government
Is certain; but international courtesy
requires that we go through the same
ceremonies as those employed by the
most sensible countries. The Chinese
have most sensible custom of rem
dering honors. They give a salute of
three guns whatever the rank of the
visitor. This saves much noise and
waste of powder, and would be ex-
cellent practice for all nations to fol-
low.
When the president Of the United
States visits ship Of war of our coun.
try, he is received at the gangway by
the admiral, commodore or command.

AS a rule the postman of Trinidad
Is a native Of Barbados or Tobago. He
is usually very civil, well-spoken
negro. He makes three deliveries be-
tween 9 o'clock in the morning and in
the afternoon, averaging fourteen miles
a day and Is paid from $3.50 to $3.50
year. In the capital Of the island the
suburban postmen have bicycles fur
nished by the government. Seventeen
postmen serve the capital Of San Saliva
dor. Two are employed exclusively in
the delivery Of registered letters for
$40 a month each.
Sixty-two million letters are distri-
buted annually in New South Wales.
Two kinds of uniforms are worn in
Sydney. The city postman is distin-
guished by blue serge, brass buttons
and helmet; the suburban postman by
gray clothing, with black trimming and
SLOUGH hat. Both uniforms are rated
first-class.
In nearly all European countries the
postmen look and act as though they
had just stepped out of the army.
former service therein is their usual
experience. The Holland postmen are
rated as a handsome class. though Of
medium stature. The delivery of this
little monarchy numbers 100000 let
tiers annually. For the arduous service
OF stair-climbing in Vienna, which is
a necessary part of the postman's duty,
he receives from $3.50 to $500 a year.
He gets from the government one tunlc,
one pair Of cloth trousers, enc pair of
linen trousers, one waistccat and a
cap, and every second year a coat and
blouse are given him.
POORLY PAID ITALIAN CARRIERS.
In Rome the postman has to work
eight hours day for SIS month, and
is only enabled to live comfortably, like
the Turkish postman, from the tips
given him by citizens at the holiday
time. In Switzerland postmen, as is
the case with other members of the
postal service, must pass physical and
mental examinations, speed and endur-
ance of foot being required with proper
intellect. In some cities Of the republic
he pushes mail cart. In Norway the
long, Misunderstanding frock coat of
the postman has given way recently to
q short green Jacket.
The Norwegian's pay is not enough
to keep him out late Saturday nights.
He gets s275 Q year and q raise after
fifteen years service. He pays for
his own uniform besides. However, he
does better than the Viennese and Ro-
man. All the Finland postmen are. lin
gusts. speaking at least Finnish, Swed-
ish and Russian. They dress warmly.
in long boots of thick leather, long,
heavy coats and skull caps. The post
men of Denmark receive less pay than
those Of Norway, the annual salary
running from $500 to 1910. Just the
same, they are said to be q fine lot
Of public servants. Roumanian post
men have handsome uniform Of dark
blue cloth, with gilt buttons and green
collar and cuffs. The uniforms Of the
continental postmen are mostly slight

EARLY MORNING FIRE
Two Houses and Stable Partially De-
 stroyed-Loss $2 500

The residence of Thomas M. Dyer, at the corner of Avenue H and Nineteenth street, and the house adjoining, owned by MT Dyer and occupied by two families, w. E. McMurray wife and child and F. w. Thatenhorst, wife and children, were par tially destroyed by fire shortly after mid- night.
 The fire was discovered by Mrs. McMur- ray, who chanced to wake about 12:15. Flames were leaping from the rear of the building, and she at once awakened her husband, and the alarm was quickly given to the occupants of both houses.
 In very few minutes after the fire was discovered the two dwellings and the stable in the rear were in full blaze. An alarm pertinent. which responded promptly
 was sent by telephone to the Southside de-
 There were four horses in the stable MT Dyer hurried to their rescue, and suc- ceeded in saving them. In his effort to save the valuable animals, MT. Dyer had the misfortune to burn his hand very badly.
 The total damage sustained by MT. Dyer will amount to about $25O0, covered by in- surance.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. Several years ago on the same site MT. Dyer lost his house by fire.
 H. s. Penlon, who travels for the Armour Packing company, boarded at Dyers. His room was in the northeast corner. He had returned from trip last night and had just retired when he heard the cry of fire. Grabbing his satchel containing valuable papers belonging to the Armour company, he ran to the street, but left his trunk in his room, it being too heavy to carry out. Gn the trunk was considerable currency, over $500, it was said. MT. Penton had counted the trunk lost, but after the flames had been subdued he and Chief Mullen as- cended a ladder and entered the room and to the commercial travellers delight the trunk was found uninjured.
 Chief Mullen says 1t was quite a bad fire to fight, on account of a strong wind which carried sparks and embers for many blocks. He had three lines of hose, 1000 feet each, in use and much of the work of the department was directed to save the other houses in that section. The plugs are very far apart.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
Man Killed Woman and Then Hims If
 at Chicago Hotel

Chicago, March 17.-Murder and suicide were committed today in the Vendome ho- tel, 157 South Halstead street. The bodies of a man and young women were found by the hotel employees tonight. That of the woman had three bullet wounds, and the man had shot himself dn the mouth with the revolver fe used in ending the life of his companion.
 Today a wel-dressed man engaged a room for himself and wife, registering as s. Cohen. No attention was paid to the couple until one of the ohtel employees made a mistake dn answering a call and knocked on the door of the room assigned to Cohen. Receiving no reply, and knowing that the room was occupied, he notified the proprl- etor. When the door was broken open the body of the woman was found on the bed fully dressed. That of the man was found on the floor, the right hand grasping a re- Yolver.
 As near as could be judged the man was 30 years old, and the woman was younger. They both appeared to be of Jewish birth.
 The victims at a late hour were identified as M Goldfus, proprietor of a cigar and confectionery store on West Fourteenth street, and Jenny Liss, IA years old, an employee of a cigar factory. Although of tender age, she had been keeping company with Goldfuss for some time. Ut is as- serted that he probably killed her in a fit of jealousy.
