has advanced with increased strides.
It's extension during the past year has
been nearly three times as great as the
whole amoun OF service previously es-
tablished. The NUMBER OF routes in OPP
Grafton at the close Of the fiscal year
was 1,276, and at the close, 1901. Dur
Ing the current year, with az augment

enced force. the work will proceed still
more rapidly. At the opening OF De-
cember 6,009 routes will be running,
and under present plans the number
will increase by July /. 1902, TO $500.
The rural population now receiving
daily service is about 100000 n at
the end OF the fiscal year II will reach
$500. 000. The delivery system will then
cover more than a quarter of h eligt-
BILE portion of the country, and at the
present rate of establishment the en-

as estimated, a million square miles OF

at every door In the United states ex-
cept In the most remote. mountainous
and sparsely settled sections, and in
villages of limited receipts where the
b~ostofice Is within easy reach. The
demand for the service grows with the
public experience Of its convenience n
utility. The number Of applications
for new routes at this time last year

awaiting action amount 10 6,l29. Thus
the 6,O00 routes which have been or

Whenever the news OF O large be-

dent that the museum was TO have more

by conditions In the will the director
and various members OF h board of
trustees began to receive crank sugSes-
lions. About one letter In three Of

financial return for h museum. The
other two were merely suggestions Oh
how the museum could spend this
money to the best purpose, and most
of the writer's have the idea that the
museum must spend this money at
once. Not only do public institutions
suffer in this way, but private indi-
viduals who come into possession OF
large sums Of money receive large

OF Mr.. Roosevelt as vice president OF

Roosevelt was his guest. and he did not
believe that on the return Of Mr..

to be sworn in as president OF the
