Expanding Postal Business Leads "a
Items of Expenditures.
The American method of conducting
the postoffice business so as to give
the greatest good to the greatest
number and no profit to the govern
ment' has one disadvantage That is
the impossibility of providing from
time TO time, as the requirements of
an expanding volume of business call
Tor them, new buildings for postoffice
uses. or for the extension of those al
ready in use. At the time of the last
report there were | 900 poStoffices of
the frst and second classes in the
United States exclusive of minor or
village postoffices, and of these chief
postofiices 252 were in buildings own
cd Dy the government, and the remain
der were In leased premises, the gross

nual interest charge on which would
about equal the annual deficit from
postoffice operations. which is from
S9,OOO,000 to 100000. 1t is under
these circumstances that the demand
for new postoffice buildings or for the
Improvement of established postoffice
buildings is usually resisted oy con-
gress. There is considerable rivalry
between cities in this regard The

Post once on the High Seas.

the homeward voyage of the Castle
liner Carisbrook Castle, which brought
the last mail from the Cape, not long
ago. The English letters not having
arrived before the Lismore Castle
saile1 from Cape Town for home, the
captain of the Carisbrook Castle, which
was to sail the following day, good-na-
turedly undertook to deliver the letters
to the disappointed passengers of the

taking her on the ocean, the letters
were inclosed in tin box and soldered
up. This was then put into a flour bar
rel with pole attached flying red

Castle and got well ahead of her, the

A man named Ed. Wrede has started
. suit for $1,000 against Chief of Po-
lice Hurst, of Devils Lake, and Sheriff
Wagness. of Ramsey county. for false
imprisonment. The case will come
up in United States court in that
county at the June term, which con-
venes the first Tuesday in that month,
and Hon. Tracy r. Bangs will con-
duct the prosecution.
Wrede claims that he was arrested
at Crary on Nov. 10. 1898, while on his
way to Duluth and taken to Devils
Lake, where he was confined in the
fire hall for some days, then turned
over to Sheriff Wagness and confined
in the county Jail until Nov. 81, 1898.
Then he was turned loose without
trial. He states that no warrant was
ever served upon him, and that the
officers repeatedly attempted to make
him confess to having committed
some burglary which had been COM
mitted near Devils Lake, but when
they found they couldn't they re-
leased him The papers in the case

A BLOW TO ART.
The Head Of the House Tries His Hand
Mt Furnishing with Poor
Results.

"Let me have Just one chance. We've
been married over 20 years and I've
left the whole problem of furnishings
to you. I've always had the promptings
of latent knowledge of art and I'd
like to give it just one practical ex.
preston. Let me fix that back parlor
to suit myself"
but you'll make it too expensive -
objected his wife. "It has been the
study of my married life to keep with.
in our means and maintain an attract
i've harmony in the settings of the
household. If you undertake to make
that room sentimental expression,
you are liable to disturb the harmony
as we'll as the bank balance"
"Leave that to me. rather pride
myself that I know something about
business. 1 have a friend in the carpet
business and another in furniture
Now don't you dictate or advise and If
1 don't show you the prettiest room in
the house, I'll tear things all out and
turn the contract over to you."
1t was only matter of form to con-
sent, for he would have gone ahead
anyway. The balance of the house was
carpeted. He would have handsome
rug. It cost considerable sum, but he
could save on other furnishings. He
never figured on painted floors or fill
ing, and the mistake was costly one
He also forgot about padded paper, the
expense of laying and even the prelim.
mary cost of cleaning. Furniture was
bought with the same lack of consid-
Grafton, decorating had to be done in
the interest of symmetry, new pictures
were bought and the bank began to
feel little uneasy about this particular
patron. It was a. gorgeous apartment
but utterly out of keeping with the rest
of the house. His wife was solemn but
noncommittal.
"What do you think of it?" he asked
of an old chum, called in as sort OF
referee and in a position to speak his
mind.
"Looks like grand parlor in junk
shop, q cluster of diamonds set in MALE
able iron.''
The next day the room was cleared
and the wife resumed charge.-Detroit
