AS POSTMASTER.


Mr.. Hess entered the postoffice as its
head Feb. 16. 1898. He succeeded Albert
Sahm, and the transfer of the office was
made at midnight by short speeches to the
employees both by Mr.. Sahm and Mr.. Hess.
In referring to the business of the post
Office Mr.. Hess admitted that he knew but
little of the work he had undertaken, but
said he would use every effort, with the
cooperation of the attaches of the office.
to give Indianapolis the best possible postal
service
During his recent illness, when he was
unable TO be at the Office, he was in close
touch with John T. Shideler his assistant
and claimed to know as well what was
transpirlng in the office as if he had been
there.
The faculty of organization shown by
Mr.. Hess in political matters was also
much in evidence from the time he entered
the postoffice. Every department felt the
effect of his efforts in broadening aid i'm
proving the facilities OF the public service.
One of the first instructions given to the
office attaches was that everybody coming
into the office must have good attention"
His example and the cooperation given
him gave no occasion for a repetition of
the order. He found soon that there were
not enough carriers for the business of the
office. The city was redistricted after
weeks OF hard work and seven new carriers
added, and then four deliveries were made
where there had been but two and two
where there had been but ore. Through
his efforts nine additional substations were
established and at the Union Station facili-
ties for issuing money orders were pro-
viued. Free delivery OF mail at Irvington-
two deliveries per day-was another ore
OF the improvements. Irvington instead of
being a separate office was made a substa-
ton.
The money-order and register-letter de-
partments received a great deal of atten-
ton from Mr. Hess. Both departments are
now open until $3.50 p. m, and the change
has made a great difference in the business
OF those departments. The Washington
order relative TO house registration of mail
was given special attention I'm the office,
and the carriers took much interest in IL.
One of the most popular movements by Mr..
Hess was keeping the stamp, money-order
and registry departments open for several
hours on Sundays and holidays.
TESTS OF CAPACITY.
During the administration Of Mr.. Hess
| the Office had several severe tests of its
capacity, especially during the state cleo
| ton of 1898, the knights of Pythias en-
| campment and the session OF the Epworth
| League and was at all times found equal
| to the demands made upon it. There have
been a number of changes made in the Of.
| fice force, and in making these changes
| some difference of opinion between the at
/ taches of the office and Mr.. Hess arose
over an Interpretation OF the civil-servics
rules. but there was no friction.
| The gross revenues OF the ofiice for ths
| year ending March 81 of this year wers
| s45f. 17103 which was s19970-35 more thar
the year previous. At that time the public
took much interest In the public income

Modern war ia Not pIe,ure.oue.

A charge, such as the Beers make,
Is robbed of all story book picturesque
ness and glamor The glitter of sword
and bayonet, the smoke and flame,
the bright uniforms, the inspiring
cheers the precision of serried ranks,
the gallantly carried battle flags to be
presently planted on the earthworks
of the enemy, are all lacking. They
belong to the war of the past. In their
stead crouching, creeping line of
dirt-coyered men, shuflled by the va
rying chances of the fight out of all
semblance of order; brown, bare, sun
scorched, bowlder-fecked ridges, dot
ted here and there with stunted bushes,
haZy with heat and alive with pro-
jectiles; the keen rattle of rifle fire,
punctuated by the suffering of ma,
chine guns, and broken into full per-
iods by the reverberating roar Of
heavy artillery, now and again seem
ing to die only to break out afresh,
and all this for hour after hour, each
passing moment claiming a victim to
sprawl in agony on the superheated
rocks. Such is modern war, as typi-
fed In South Africa to-day.-Thomas
Il. Millard, IN Scribner's.
