sued his annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900. The show
Ing made Is one gratifying to the ad-

in the front rank in the nations in the
postal union. The report says:
THE financial operations Of the de-
partment for the last fiscal year are
shown briefly in the following state

At seventeen minutes past o'clock
yesterday afternoon the above dispatch
was flashed over the wires into the
city office of the Santa Fe road in Dem
yer. A few minutes later the operator
Of the company on duty at the Office
closed his telegraphic key, reached for
his hat and overcoat and walked out.
AS the Santa Fe system includes
more than 5000 miles of railway, it
was estimated that more than 1000
telegraph operators left their posts in
response to the peremptory order of
Grand Chief Dolphin. The strike was
almost wholly unexpected by outsid-
ers, as 1t was generally believed the
controversy between the operators and
the railway company would be con-
fined to the Texas division. On ac-
count also Of the recent contract gov
erning all branches of the road west Of
Albuquerque and requiring employees
to give thirty days notice of a strike,
the announcement that hundreds Of
men had quit their positions was re-
ceyed with incredulity. In railway
circles 1t was prophesied last evening
that the strike will be to finish, and
will be one of the most determined Ia
Dor wars known for years in the West.

GAME BIRDS OUT OF SEASON.
by a Pleasant Little Fiction They
Are Made Welcome TO Restau-
rant Patrons.

81 assure you that both the yenison
and the birds are imported said the
head waiter at one of the Broadway
restaurants when patron protested
against the service Of game out OF
season. ''It is brought over In the
French steamers, and is not Amer
ican game at all, though we do not
tell our patrons of that unless they
make objections, as you have done"
SO the man who would not have the
game law violated tried French quail,
and found it to be wonderfully like
the same sort of bird he had been in
the habit of shooting at, at least, In
this country. How about that for
an explanation2" asked the scribe OF
the steward, with whom he had had a
sufficiently long acquaintance to war
rant q familiar chat together. "Wel,
the waiter went the limit, l must
say. He had been told to say the
game was imported, but the French
business was fancy of his own, and
does not bear the official stamp OF the
house. OF course, it is an open secret
that they are imported from no more
distant point than the cold storage
warehouses, where there is always a
supply of most any sort of game for.

want 1t, and we have TO give them
what they ask for, or else lose their

it does not pay. Still, don't see

life's little oddities. No? Well, I'm
not surprised. discovered it my
self only through a chance visit TO the
river front. 1t was about II o'clock
in the morning, and l was loafing
around the far end of the north
eastern fruit wharf waiting for q
man, when a strapping big negro
rushed up and bawled out; Hot

ing himself to me, but before ! could
think up some graceful and appropri-
ate bit of repartee at least dozen
other strapping darlSies came tum-
bling out from behind a pile of bar
rels, where q crap game had evidently
been in progress, and started on a
dead run for a near by alley-way
None of them had asked any ques-
tions, and, needless to say, my GU
riosity was highly excited, so l
trailed along in the rear, and at the
other end of the alley found the
whole crowd, with numerous addi-
tions, clustered about a small covered
wagon, from which mulatto was
selling smoking hot loaves OF bread
at a nickel apiece. AS each loaf was
called for he split it open and satu-
rated the interior with molasses from
a can in the vehicle That was hot

srltute for the merchants lunch,
which appears about the same hour
in the retail district up town. 4
asked one of the darlkies whether 1t
was good and his reply, while word
less, was extremely eloquent. The
lower half of his countenance was
buried in fresh section Of hot slash
at the moment, and nothing was Wis
ible except his eyes, which he rolled
upward until they resembled couple
Of white celluloid pool balls. Then he
closed them, very slowly, like man
in an ecstasy, and at the same time
made a gurgling sound in his throat
After that pantomime 1 was strongly
tempted to try piece Of hot slash
