Many good plays have been written
by Walter Fessler. but his latest, "The
Great White Diamond" which will be
seen at the Wilmington Theatre to-
night and until Wednesday, is already
recorded by critics to be his best. The
play introduces a character entirely
new to the stage It is that of the
"Nycmlops' Ca character founded on
medical authority, who is supposed to
be blind in the light and who can see
in the dark. 1t follows closely on the
lines laid down by Anthony Hope in
his "Phroso" novel, but is more impress
sive in that the gaudy glamour Of eff
fects IS made more real than strenuous.
There are sensations galore which are
not momentarily foisted upon the spec
tator but spectacularly poised for pur-
poses of study and edihcation. THE
| Great White Diamond" scintillates pa
thos and poetry and pervades in the
purity of its own rays The Human

sodes Of the play must be seen to be
appreciated.

All over the country men engaged
In the postal service are watching in
tently the progress Of affairs in the va
rlous branches of the mail business"
said A. j. Ball, chief clerk of the rail-
way mail service, to an indianapolis
News man. THE signs In all direc-
lions point to the greatest year the SER
vice has ever had. On the indianapolis
railroads, which form the main chan
mel for the movement of mails between
the East and West, the volume of bust
ness during the winter has been with
out precedent. There are more postal
cars in service, they are hauling more
mail and utilizing more postal clerks
than ever before During the early
spring the volume has been tremend-
ously heavy and this movement of mail
shows the pulsations Of business affairs
generally throughout the country. Re
ports say that, with the beginning of
the new fiscal year, the financial re-
eeipts will show a profit OF $2,O00,0OO
to the postofice department of the
United States. If such a showing Is
made | predict that the people of this
country are on the eve of penny letter
hostage. 1t is bound to follow soon
after the postal receipts show n profit
of S2,000,000 to the postoffice depart
ment of the United States. If such n
showing is made predict that the peo-
pie of this country are on the eve Of
penny letter postage. 1t is bound to
follow soon after the postal receipts
show a profit"
Chief Clerk Ball has been in the rail-
vaginal service since May II, 1880.
He tossed mail In railway postal car
for years. and worked his way to the
head of the mail service between Pitts
burg and st. Louis, the second largest
branch of the service In the United
States.
Il think it was in 1888 or 1884," Mr..
Ball says, that the postal business
made a profit. From the year 1t was
established, up to that time, there had
been deficiency every year. AS soon
as there was a profit Congress cut the
cost of sending a letter. Before that
reduction the price was cents for a
half-ounce. The reduction was to 2
cents. The day 2-cent postage went

The Effects of Ammonia.

The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom Of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work In ammonia
factories Is a dlscoloration Of the skin
of the nose and the forehead. This
gradually extends over the face until
the complexion has stained. blotched
and unsightly appearance. With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
tens In smaller doses. as with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
do not appear so soon. The only effect
of the poison that is visible for a time
is a general nwholesomeness and sal
lowness OF the complexion.

Idea OF college education as general
culture Is passing away. The universe

the most out Of what they can do. A

Development of the Hammer.

Mans first tool was the uplifted hand
grasping a stone, and from this came,
after many years, the hammer. AS
heavier blows became necessary the
hammer grew In size, until it was OPP
Grated by machinery In the form of the
tilt or helve hammer. When steam sue
ceeded water as motive power, a
steam cylinder replaced the tripping
cam, but the first half of the past cen
fury had nearly expired before the orig
inal form of this tool was at all chang
ed by James Nasmyth's invention OF
the upright steam hammer.
Since then the falling weight of this
design of tool has gradually been In
creased from few hundred pounds up
to 100 and even 125 tons, but excepting
the smaller sizes up to % tons II has
since 1890 been superseded by the by
