ter General is powerless to prevent, are alone
responsible for the six or seven milliondol
annual deficiency which must be met by the
Treasury of the United States and thus become
a direct tax on the people.
The Service of Today.
To-day, my friends, the great postal service
of the United States stands unequaled by that
of any other country, either in revenues, in
cost or in efficiency. Uncle Sam spares no
expense to meet the requirements Of an exact
ing public Every practical improvement is
promptly adopted; distances are overcome and
geographical obstacles surmounted, while the
cost to the people remains the Same-twO cents
from Augusta, Me, TO Cape Nome, Alaska
two cents. just think of it The first pack
age of mail delivered in the Klondike three or
four years ago cost for the transportation the
snug sum of three hundred dollars per letter.
while Uncle Sam got two cents per letter
Only recently contract was executed for the
TRANSFORMATION of mail overland to Cape Nome
at cost of eight thousand dollars trip.
When one considers this immense cost for the
TRANSPORTATION of a few letters to the daring
gOld-seeker, II is not surprising that the gov
eminent Is willing Ia spend \ few millions for
the benefit and comfort of the residents of its
rural communities, and to spare nothing 10
bring the efficiency of the postal service up to
a standard of perfection unparalleled ~ the
history of human undertakings.

river she comes and how far above here
her people lived, but it is not likely that
ANYTHING will ever come of it. The chances
are that she is the child of some poor sheep
herder or cowhand, and that all her peo-
ple have been drowned Such tragedies
are so common along the strange river when
it is in wrath that they are accepted as
happenings not greatly out of the ordinary,
and furnish food for talk for only little
while. Pablo MATS, who drew 81 Mex
ican) a month and bushel of meal as his
wages for herding 600 ewes belonging to
Richardson's ranch, got his flock safely
through the rising water to higher land.
1t was only six inches deep when he drove
them through, but going back half mile
to rescue newly dropped lamb that had
been left behind he was drowned. When
told of this his fellow herders shrugged
their shoulders. rolled fresh cigaritos and
said that he ought not to have lett the
lamb behind. Antonio Trevino, young
girl who kept house for her brother, who
Is fence rider, being caught by the Hood
when he was away from home with their
only horse, walked six miles through water
sometimes to her waist and sometimes to
her armpits, bearing his four ar-old or
phan son. This was done at night. Their
iacal was swept away before morning.
1t is believed that the total loss of life
from this food will exceed the loss IN the
food of 500, because the water has been
equally sudden in Its rise and the valley Is
much more thickly populated now than
then. A conservative estimate would
place this loss at not less than 200 people
between Eagle Pass aud the Gulf. For a
year wives will be awaiting the return OF
husbands aud children the return of fathers
who will never be heard Of any more
But. rs Alc;,lde MARITIME SAYS 1T was
meant to happen and it has happened, g
let Us ask that the food will not come

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

THE Watch on the Rhine" Is adver-
tised as a new romantic German dialect
comedy" in which Al Fl. Wilson, the
celebrated dialect comedian and golden
voiced singer" takes the star part
As matter OF fact the only dialect IN
the entire play is the roll Of the which
Mr. Wilson mistakes for German dialect
As for his golden voice. 1t was merely
gold-plated and 1t was thin electro
plate at that
It is natural that all German dialect
plays should be compared with those pre-
comparison both Mr. Wilson and his play
suffer for if the uIa,-s > - eoruuared II
follows that the players must also be
compared and this comparison M Wilson
suffers even more than the play There
were some pretty songs. but they failed
TO receive much applause, probably on
account OF the rendition
The acting of Mark Price as Count Won
Beckman was really the best work of
the evening. He seemed to understand
and render his lines in way that made
the other players appear Weak-and in
deed they were not strong.
Ida Hamilton as Norma SteinTay'' had
the leading female part and It is but
charitable 70 say that there was sons
thing wrong with her voice May be she
had a cold or may be her voice Is natUr-
ally deep and husky. If the latter is true,
the company could improve itself by max
ing q change In that part
The play Is a IOug-draWu-Dut romantic
comedy with very little comedy in it. It
requires four acts and three hours to
outwit the villain and it IS done IN the
usual manner.

And the only time which he did not
spend in the dark cell was when sickness
made it necessary to remove him to the
hospital For several months before MS
pardon the authorities believed Johnson
had consumption and he was treated IN
the hospital He was released by a cor
ditional pardon Thanksgiving day. His
troubles seem to be following him to
Kansas, because the citizens will not
listen to his lecture which ''F'irebug'
says is the only means he has to make
a living
johnson learned to write while in the
penitentiary at Jefferson City. His pen
rnanship Is good and the letter TO Gov
ernor Stanley is well composed In clos
