One of the latest postoffice frauds now being investigated by the post office authorities at Washington is that of Il doctor who advertised to cure deafness for $1S.50 without fail. To those who sent the required amount the doctor forwarded 2000 pills, with directions to take one each day, and on no account to miss day. or the charm would be broken. and it-would be necessary to start all over again. As the truth of this claim cannot be put to the test until the end of about five and half years, the authorities are puzzled what course to take.-Hartford Post.

When the country recovers it's senses after the two wars it has had on it's hands for two or three years there will be one long loud howl for retrench- ment, and no department of the gov ernment will come in for as much criti- cism as the pension bureau. As q re- suit of the war with Spain there have been 41.000 applications for pensions filed. 1t seems as though that was one for about every man that served in that war. and some of them surely came back. Commissioner Evans, says the Boston Herald. Recently stated that he did not think that the soldiers themr selves were as much to blame for this flood of applications as were the pen. sion agents. As soon as man came home from the army, he was bounced on by these solicitors, who argued to the soldiers that as long as the money was in the treasury they might as well have 1t as anybody else. This he claims, accounts for the large number of applications, many of which were in duplicate coming from differ- ent agents, the second agent probably arguing with the soldiers that he had a better pull at Washington than had the first. In a number of these, du- .plications entirely different reasons are given for asking pensions for the same individual Mir. Evans says if isn't the soldier his department has to fight, but 1t is that class of agents who go around the country talking about the unjust treatment of the sol diers. while as a matter of fact, there are very few, if any, veterans honestly entitled to pension under the laws of the United States who have been or will be denied one. We comment ed recently on the wise plan that Sec retary Root has Introduced in regard to troops returning from the Philip pines. Before their discharge they are to be thoroughly examined and obliged to fill out q blank, in which they must state their physical condi- ton, and 1T they report any disability, 1t is to be Investigated at once. Had this system been adopted earlier, it would doubtless have resulted in a very large cut in the fl 900 applica. tions for pensions growing out of the Spanish war, the larger part of which, we presume, might be granted if Com missioner Evans was removed from his office and some man appointed who would be satisfactory to the pension claim agents.

OLD SINGERS WERE SUPREME

The older operas are losing tlieir nonularity because there are reallv so few who can do them justice. I often. wonder where the singers are to come from. There are none for tho Italian operas. and fhere arn none who will lte able to take thor place of the singers who have heen famous in Wagner's works. Where are the women to come from who will take tho nIaces of .T4illi. Tehmann, Theresa Malten. and Rosa Sucher? There arc none in Germany. Certainly there are none fn Italy.
 The art of singjnp seems to be dead there. if one can isidoe from the meth ods of tl,e youno Italian singers. One ease shows Strilyinglv the way in which the art is declined. Only a short time before iAft rsa1rnne. hear a young woman sinp who. four ar five years apo. was the best of he Italian Drima donnas. She has a charming nresence on the staSe, and is n delioht- fnI actress Now shn is nottmore than thirty years old But her voice is nearly gone. At her age she. ought to be reaching the best period of her career. It Is coming to and end instead.y There are no teachers left there, for one thine. and the style of Italian mll- sic, written DOW does not dasr"nd fine singing. as the older oneras did. After a year or two. in which they learn some oneras of the old renertoire. they 20 on the stage. Then they begin to sing the modern Italian music. or, what is worse for them. the Wagner operas, and. within a few years. their voices are gone. But above all else. 1t is the lack of good teachers that Is responsible for their poor training. | was pupil of the older Lamperti, and. when he died. one of the best was lost
 To-day, know of but very few women who know what the best methods of the old singers were. Adelinas Patti. above everybody else, is a singer. She knows all about the art that can be taught. Marchesi is q great teacher, and so is Artot-Padilla But there are so few teachers now. that the absence of well-trained singers is not surpris- ing. One need think only of the work that used to be necessary to see the difference now. Formerly, years of study were necessary. Now, within q few months, girl thinks that she is ready to begin her career. If she has great voice. then success is possible in the heavier Wagner roles. They need no singing. Alls that is necessary for them is plenty of voice. But the woman who would sing Elsa. Eliza beth, Senta. or Eva. must know how to sing, and must keep in constant practice.-Marcella Sembrich.

PUBLIC PLAY GROUNDS.

A local union of women's clubs in Buffalo, was recently addressed by q lady who gave an interesting account of a public playground that was open ed in that city some time last sum mer We quote from the Buffalo Ex- press for the benefit of our readers who are interested in the subject. It says: Mrs. Melvin Porter of West minister House was the first speaker. Her talk was chiefly an interesting de- scription of the public playground, which was opened on the Emslie street school last summer. She gave description of the sand pile, the swings seesaws and other apparatus provid- ed for the children's pleasure. and of the enjoyment they afforded. She said it is harmful to allow children to play in crowds without q wise and tactful person always near to direct the sport Then the moral influence of the playground is good. for the children learn to, respect certain rules and to regard the rights of others.
 An instance of that was shown in the small boy who settled the difi- culty at the girls boat swing. 4 score of girls tried to crowd into the swing at once and matters were at q standstill until a lad suggested that a rule be enforced that everyone who wanted to swing must stand in line and wait his or her turn. The plan worked satisfactorily and there was no trouble in that direction the rest of the season. Mrs. Porter spoke of the good influence of the playground to both old and young in it's vicinity. It afforded amusement for the small people during the day and made the streets more quiet, and in the evening the young men of the neighborhood used the running track or gathered tn the grounds to visit. It. was found that if the gates were open until 1O o'clock or later, the attendance of young men at the saloons was consid- erably lessened.
 Reading was one of the pleasures of the playground and q number of books of fairy tales were read during the summer, in. fact, one of the at tendants read from morning to. night. the children appreciating that form of entertainment as much or more than any other. Mrs Porter said Buffalo was backward in the matter of public playgrounds and gave brief descrip- tion of some of the largest in Boston. Philadelphia and Chicago. She said the indications now are that the com- mon council will this year grant m appropriation to transform the grass plot on the Terrace into a playground for this summer.

WHAT HER CAT DID FOR HER.

+ N # g E
 Mrs Martha Wllliamfeiter 6S years old after many years of toll on an old-fashioned carpet loom and at the wash tub. accumulated between $500 and $G00 in currency. She lives north of Tipton q short distance, and during her years of saving, had little faith in banking institutions. She secreted her hard earned treasure in smoke house adjoining her home. The money was placed in a small wooden box Mrs. Williamfeiter went to the smokehouse recently to deposit more money in her little bank. When she she looked into the box she found the money was gone. Thinking she had been the victim of a theft, she hur- lied to q neighbours and told of her loSSI
 She returned home, and soon after her attention was attracted to the house cat by it's mewings. The feline carried q full grown rat in it's mouth, and n piece ofa ten-dollar bill was protruding from the stomach of the mntllated rodent This gave Mrs. Williamfeiter n clew to the thieves. She searched for the den of the TOT dents, and there she found all of the money excepting $50 or $90. Several of the bills were mutilated and will be sent to the government for redenp- tion The house cat is to be rewarded with q gold collar for its shrewd de tectiye work. ys ss 1s 5le
