DONE BY POST OFFICE WOMAN.
EmpIoye In the Chicago Department
Who Has Accomplished
wonder.

There is a woman on the Chicago
post Office force who is doing what
no other woman in the city can do.
and very few men. says an exchange
of that city.
About three years ago Miss Hen
rich was put on as a substitute clerk
at the Lincoln park substation, which
distributes mail TO one of the largest
districts in the city During last
year 100000 pieces of mail were
handled there.
While Miss Heinrich was serving as
substitute she had plenty of spare
time, which she spent in learning the
distribution scheme" which is the
burden of every green employees life.
The scheme" is an arrangement of
pigeonholes where the mail is thrown
before being delivered. At Lincoln
park station there are Ga holes, one
for each carrier, and the various
streets and dividing numbers of each
carriers district must be thoroughly
memorized, so that when the mail is
dumped on the distributing table in
large sack loads no delay will result
in Throwing" the letters properly.
Last November Miss Heinrich was
appointed a regular clerk, and at a
test given to the clerks by Superin-
tendent Herman Lieb, the woman
employee asked to be allowed to com
pete, and she made as good a record
as any of her fellow-employes by
making only one error in Throwing"
500 letters. This has been repeated
every day since her entry into the
service.

DOLLARS IN ODD SHAPES.
Process Through which the silver
IL Put Before IL becomes
Coin.

Under the law, a silver dollar may
be a grain and @ kali over weight, and
this limit Of tolerance applies to AL
Of our silver coins. In other words,
they are not allowed tovary more than
that much from standard. In the case
OF gold pieces, the limit is half grain
either way, up to the eagle; variation
Of as much as one grain being permis-
Kible in the $40 and $50 pieces, says the
Saturday Evening Post.
Whenever a fresh batch Of dollars is
turned out at the mint, samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing
ton where they are put through a
very curious process. Each dollar is
first weighed on eXquisitely delicate
scales, to make sure that il is heavy
enough, and yet not too heavy. Then IL
passes between two steel rollers again
and again, until it is fattened ont and
transformed into a thin strip Of sill
vera sort of ribbon-a foot and q half
in length Then it is put beneath a
little machine provided with several
small punches, by which hundreds Of
tiny disks are punched out Of the
metal strip.
Now, the object Of this performance
is TO obtain samples of metal from all
parts Of the dollar, inasmueh as il is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another. The
little disks are shuflied together, and
few of them, taken at random from
the lot, are subjected TO an assay. Thus
the fineness of the material of the dol
lar is ascertained with absolute ac-
cmacy, and, the weight having beer
already determined, he value and cor-
rectness Of that coin are perfectly
known.
The sample pieces having been found
correct il is inferred that the entire
batch of dollars is an right.

It is a singular thing that in the
popular view OF disease the interde-
pendence of the several organs Of the
body is lost sight Of The heart for

Well Known Tailor Died From Effects
OF SIiqht Wound.

Elias Rheinhclmer, well known in
this city, died Thursday at his home
In Cleveland, the result of tri1ng
accident which he suffered several
days ago.
Mr.. Rhelnheimer was the proprietor
OF one OF the largest tailoring estab-
llshments In the State. Many of his
clothes came to Akron and for years
he Kept an agent constantly employed
here, Recently Mr.. Rheinheimer
started to open the door of his store
when a ragged piece of the ironwork
caught his left hand, ln1icting a
slight scratch, SO tritllng was the
wound that Mr. Rheinheimer paid no
attention to 1t, and the incident prac-
tlcally passed from his thoughts. On
Monday he was at his place of busl-
pess as usual and remained in the
Euclid ave. store until evening.
On Tuesday Mr., Rheinhelmer felt a
peculiar sensation In his left hand, and
the pain kept up with such persistency
that he finally remembered having
scratched his hand several days be.
fore while attempting to open the
door OF his store. The hand continued
10 get worse, and on Wednesday It
was swollen TO slight degree. II was
then that the family physician, DR..
A. Peskind, was called.
Yesterday morning DR., Rasenwasser
was summoned by the family physi-
clan, and. after a consultation, an
operation was decided upon. The
physicians had concluded that blood
poisoning had set In and felt that the
only way 10 save Mr., Rheinheimer's
life would be to amputate the left
hand. The time for the operation was
fxed at noon yesterday, but few
moments before that hour Mr.. Rhein.
heimer expired, surrounded by his
wife and four children, who had been
hastily summoned TO his bedside
Elias Rheinhelmer was one Of the
best known citizens fCleveland He

Erie Officials Busy With
Depot Project.
Trains Do Fast Running on
Parallel Track.
Former Erie Employe Was Killed In
Denver Thursday.

Division Superintendent G. A. Allen
and General Manager j. G. Moorehead
of the Erie, were in Akron Friday on
business connected with their road.
One pf the chief topics of discussion
among Erie officials Is the erection of
new freight depot in this city during
the coming season. The company long
ago decided to build the depot as the
rapidly increasing freight business in
Akron demands 1t. The only question
that has caused any delay has been the
selection of site and plans for the
new structure.
Mr. Allen stated Friday morning
that nothing definite had yet been ac-
complished. He added that more
changes We're contemplated in the pres
ent plans. He declined to discuss
them in any way.
TRAINS spEEDED.
The parallel tracks of the Erie and
L. & o. roads south of this city af-
ford tho best of opportunities to the
engineers for speeding" their loco
motives. 1t happens that a b. & o.
train is due in this city at 1:50 o'clock
in the morning. An Erie train from
the same direction Is also due at L. 30.
A few mornings ago the Erie was
late and the two trains came together
for brush. 1t is said that the trains
pulled out of New Portage side by side.
When they reached the Akron yards,
the Erie was a minute ahead, which
is equivalent to saying that the b. &
o., was left mile In the race. 1t Is
said that mile minute is not un-
common time for the trains to make.
NEW ENGINE.
The Ashland & Wooster Railroad,
Camps rond, has purchased a new

but very little business was transacted.
A committee was appointed to In

the work will probably be pushed to

wreck was caused by an axle breaking,
derailing car and piling up 15 more

several new rails, a keg of spikes and
great deal of hard work was required
before the damage was repaired.
The new Loomis block on Front st.

atorlasl election in 1898. Commenting
upon the disgrace to Pennsylvania, the
Philadelphia Record says:
EVIL days have fallen upon the
Republican party In Pennsylvania
when its unworthy leadership has
brought it to such straits that 1t is
unable to organize the Legislature In
which 1t has a two-thirds representa-
tlon without the aid of purchasable
representatives uf the opposing party.
The wreiched men who have sold them
selves are in riowise more Infamous than
is the wretched party which in making
the purchase has dlshonored itself and
the State and the country by the trans
action.
'Some teachers Of social science
maintain that certain crimes--as mur-
ders, suicides, burglaries and rapes--
recur in community with much reg
ularity; and they produce a great ar
ray Of statistics to prove their theory.
Political crime may also be added to
the list, though this number of five
traitors, OF one-twelfth of the Demo.
cratic representation in the Pennsyl.
vania Legislature, is far above the
average. The extraordinary tempta.
ton and the opportunity, as well as
the small risk of punishment, must
be taken into consideration. A great
lrlshmon once said with groan ON q
similar occasion that when the agents
of corrupt government need traitor
they never fail to find him. In the
present case there was not q trarto!
more than was actually wanted tc
convert an impending defeat of the
Machine into victory"

HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN THE RIOT +?

II was Councilman Fiebeger who at
O recent meeting of the Council said
that the destruction of the life was
property on the night of the riot was
"a monument to someone's criminal
negligence In failing to safeguard the
clty's interests"
But Akron people had hoped that II
the riot had had no other effect, that at
the very least II should have taught
the City Commissioners the vital Inn
portance of improving the efficiency
of the Police department.
How have the City Commissioners
profited by this overpowering lesson
of the riot?
Without even the suggestion of an
explanation or an apology to the peo'
