In conversation with Mayor New aid
we learn that since the opening of the
saloons not man has been arrested
for drunkenness the second time. The
mayor has adopted the plan of making
the fine double for the second 0ffense
and for the third 1t will be doubled
again, which appears to have q good
effect. AS yet the county has been put
to no expense whatever because of the
saloons and Mr.. McWsid believes the
expense will be but little.-Atlantic
Democrat.
Mayor Mcwaid, Of Atlantic, Iowa,
is temperance man, but he signed
the petition for saloons In that city,
believing that the open saloon Is bet
ter than the bootlegger. Whenever Q
fellow is brought before him for being
drunk, he fines him $50 or 10 days on
the street. The fellow never comes
before him the second time.

The Gossip.
Savings in England and Here.

There are some interesting figures In
the postal blue book for 1900 just issued
by the English government The most
striking ones to Americans are those
showing the surplus earnings OF the Brit
ish postal service, which amount to the
tidy sum or sl62os. 765. after deducting a
deficit i'm the telegraph department of
more than S.Oo0ooo. This deficit In the
telegraph department OF the English post
tat service indicates that everything Is
not so lovely there as advocates of public
ownership expected. by way OF compar-
ison the figures showing deposits In the
postal savings bank are important. The
total deposits dutlng the year were s2o2,-
5S2, $50 and the total due depostors at the
end OF the year was ss77 Tts. .255. Take the
statement OF the New York savings banks
UP 10 July | of this year The aggregate
deposits In these banks was ses7 600 O00 an
Increase OF about ss55 coo during the

The Navy Department is advised that
the Messrs. Cramps Of Philadelphia have
claim Of about $264, 900 against the gov
eminent for delay incident to furnishing
armor for the battle ship Alabama. The
delay was caused by the controversy in
Congress as to the quality of armor. The
Alabama was begun in December, 1895, and
under the three years contract, would have
been completed in December, 1899. But
owing to the lack of armor the ship was
not actually completed for many months
after this time. Other claims VIII be made
for delay In furnishing armor to other
ships, it is said. There was delay on the
armor Of the Illinois, Wisconsin and three
ships Of the Maine class.
