The people of the State will have
the right to expect good work of the
constitutional convention, if they con-
tinue to select their b, st men to rep
resent them in that body as thS,-
have done up to this time. The .,
50 lar Is made up Of men 81 tesxee D.
tional ability and we doubt not that
additions TO be made to it will con-
tin e to be of the kind, who will rec
ogDize the needs of the State and the
perils which confront them as law
makers. The people of the State
seem to be awake to the fact that it
will require all the wisdom of the
best men of the State to guide them
safely through the dangers which
will threaten us when the convention
assemblies.

There were several thousand people
in front of the gates when they opened
at l o'clock this afternoon, and an hour
later, when the show began, at least
5000 people were under the tent. Not
withstanding the fact that the show has
only been on the road three weeks, it is
no eXaggeration to say that the show is
as good, if not better, than any similar
affair that has ever been seen in this
city
circus line introduced during the course
of the performance that were entirely
out of the ordinary, and were well re-
ceived. Prof. Dockrill with his sixty
three horses on pedestals and pyramids
perhaps forms one of the most interest
ing parts of the show. Then there was
Madam Marantette, who has just COM
pleted a tour of England with her high
jumping ponies and horses.

A Busy Year in the shipyards.

The fiscal year which ended June
30 bids fair to be remembered by those
who follow the development of our
merchant marine as one of great activ-
ity in our shipyards. Only twice before
in our history, in 1854 and 1856. the
halcyon period of our carrying trade,
has the output of our shipyards ex-
ceeded that of the fiscal year lust
closed. The high water mark of mar
thine construction was touched in 1855
when 5S3, 450 tons made up the total
of the launchings. Though still below
that memorable maximum, last year
was noteworthy for it's output of 401.-
2S5 tons of shipping launched from our
yards, which are still full of business.
or this tonnage little less than one
half is credited to the Atlantic and
and Gulf coasts, or 190,94S tons,
1O2,475 being steam. The Great Lakes
contributed 1898 tons to the grand
total, the Pacific coast 46,1O5 tons,
and the Western rivers 1904. AS
compared with the previous fiscal year
the Atlantic and Gulf coast yards in
creased their output by 30,372 tons:
those of the Pacific coast by S619 tons;
those of the Great Lakes by 53,362.
The increase on the Western rivers
was 1855 tonss The total output for
1901 was 401 1856 tons against 3O5, 677.
If unrigged vessels are included the
outputs were respectively 489,619 tons
and 3S1 1868 tons.

THE MAIL.
Many Duties Are Required
of Post Office Clerks in
Large Cities.

working New York city," as the
duty of Boston clerks is called, is
most eXacting. There are 35 divisions
to which letters are SEM in New
York, and the clerks must familiar
ize themselves with the exact streets
and parts of streets in each. Broad
way is divided into IA of these d.
visions, and a clerk must know just
what portion of this thoroughfare
is in each division, says the Boston
Herald. Again, he must locate, with
out a moments delay, all the princi-
pal firms of the city, magazines.
newspapers, banks, hotels, clubs, hos
pitfalls, theaters, large buildings.
There are 1875 separations in this
way, and in order hat the clerks
may not forget them they are
obliged to be examined twice a year
on them. Each of the clerks on the
New York city mail handles about
$4,000 letters a night. The Pennsyl-
vania mail is worked by one clerk,
and there is also one each for New
Jersey. Rhode Island and Connect
cut. Then there are two other clerks
who work the south and west states
for distribution. There are five mails
a day from Boston to New York, and
four from New York to Boston.
While the train which has just
been described is the greatest mail
carrier out of Boston, it's sister train.
which leaves New York for Boston at
the same time, is a still greater won
der, for the mail is so great coming
from New York to Boston that five
ears are required to carry it n 90
men to handle it. The mail came
pouring into the car at an early hour
in the evening, and it seemed as if
there would be no let-up. In order
that the business district of Boston
! may get it's mail at the opening of
business in the morning, five OF the
clerks on the train work the mail
not only by stations, but they also
work the mail, so far as the main
office is concerned, by carriers and
boxes. This makes a total of 81 di-
visions of the letters for the carriers
and box sections at the main Office
and substations. In this way the trip
from New York to Boston is much
more difficult than from Boston to
New York. For while there are but
35 divisions to be made for New
York, there are 81 for Boston.
