Postoffioe and Express Com
panies Busy Handling
the Holiday Busi-
ness.
GREATER THIS YER THAN EYER
Hard Work to Find Men
Enough to Handle
the Mountains Of
Packages.
GREATER THIS YER THAN EYER

All the express companies are exceed
ingly busy at this time and they have
their hands full handling the incoming
and outgoing freight of the Christmas
holiday. At all the offices in the city
the business is far ahead of that of last
year.
The business has started several days
earlier and every wagon and horse attain
able has been hired by the various ex-
goods
This Christmas, judging FROM the
goods being expressed to all parts of the
country, is one of the most prosperous
in years.
So extensive is the early trade of the
Adams Express Company that an extra
pier has been hired for the delivery of
goods and the old pier is exclusively
used for outgoing goods Pier c, next
to the Brooklyn Annex, has been char
tered and at this pier the deliveries are
made.
General Agent Anderson of the Adams
Company said this morning that the
business had not only started earlier but
was a vast increase over any previous
year.
Besides my own wagons and vans,''
said he, Il have hired every wagon and
horse | can get in the city. We can
use more porters to help hnadle the
goods. but at this time they are hard
to get.
Owing to the large freight business
on the railroads l cannot get enough
cars for the outgoing goods Our facili-
ties have all been doubled and / find
that we are keeping up with our deliver
les so far because we have this extra
pier for delivery only
Both piers We're piled full of all kinds
of goods and long lines of wagons were
kept busy goin in and out Hundreds
Of men We're busy handling the goods.
Dodd & Childs Company is away
ahead in its orders and cannot get horses
enough to deliver the goods because all
the available animals are being used in
carting coal.
The company has received and de-
liFered over 5000 more packages than
it did last year at this time. All the
drivers and helpers are working all
night and even then they canont take
care of the business.
Besides its own twenty single wagons,
ten trucks and six vans, the company has
large number of private wagons in use.
The cause of this early traffic is due
to the fact that Christmas comes in the
middle of the week. The heaviest bust
ness is expected next Monday and Tues
day

THE PRICE OF SPEED.
Some Interesting Comparative Fig
ures Concerning Ocean Liners.

: Commenting on the launch of the
Norddeutscher Lloyd s'f1ier," the Kaiser
Wilhelm IL, and the White Star liner
Cedric, the largest ship in the world, the
shipping World gives some interesting
comparative figures The former is to
cross the Atlantic at speed of twenty
four knots, and will have engines to de-
velop 10000 indicated horse power, while
the British ship will obtain seventeen
knots with $4,000 horse power.
The two boats represent German and
British policy at the present moment.
To gain her 40 per cent in speed the
Kaiser Wilhelm II will burn 100 per cent
more coal-about 750 tons a day;sshe
requires 256 more hands to work her,
while of her 600 hands only forty-fve
will be ordinary sailors, the remainder
being mostly mechanics of various kinds;
and she must forego the carrying of some
1000 passengers and $4,000 to 10000
tons of cargo every voyage.
Such is the price of speed, and the
moral to be drawn from the launch Of
the latest great German ship is that
there are plenty willing to pay heavily
to cross the Atlantic at the best speed.
The tendency of British shipowners is to
cheaper freights by employing steamers
of very large tonnage. We have not
foreign nations have built one such ship
we have built q dozen. OF the largest
class of ships 255 belong to this country,
eighty-0Ge to Germany. thirty-one to
America, eighteen to France, eleven to
Russia. and four to Holland.

CHRISTMAS MAIL.
oc al Office Preparing for the
Rush Expected Next
Week.

Assistant Postmaster Edward w.
Woolley is arranging today to handle
the rush of Christmas mail that will be-
gin on Monday. He has secured twenty
nine substitute letter carriers and will
have on hand in the delivery department
extra clerks.
Three steamers, one of the American
line, another of the Cunard line, and a
third one of the North German Lloyd
Company will arrive in New York to-
day. The mail from these steamers
for Jersey City folks will be distrib-
uted Monday.
Superintendent Benjamin Burch, of the
delivery department, said the foreign
mail at Christmas time, as rule, always
contains many registered letters for peo-
pie in Jersey City.
So far, according to Mr.. Burch, there
have been very few Christmas packages
sent through the mail .'The people gem
orally wait until the last two or three
days." said he to a reporter for ''The

Andrew ]. Corooran's De-
lightful Party Set for
Xmas Eve.


Christmas eve will see merry party
in the Hotel Washington and those who
see it will recall Mr.. Fezziwig's hospital
ity, so beautifully described in Dickens
christmas Carols" This "thusness'' is
because Mr.. Andrew j. Corcoran every
year gets the employees of his big wind
mill factory around him and regales them
royalty. He stuffs them with things phy-
steal and intellectual, excites their lam
guid spleen by healthfel humor and man
ages to send them home at peace with
themselves and everybody and profound
IL convinced that after all there are
something's pleasant in this not unpleas-
ant world.
The dinner will take place promptly at
7:30 and guests or no guests, the
things" will come on the table. Mr..
Corcoran has invited many nice people to
come eat a good meal and talk. He
doesn't mean by that a-nickel-and-the-
slot arrangement by which he puts down
a dinner and up comes speech; for that
might result in the converse: putting
down a speech and up comes the dinner.
This list of guests will show that there
is no likelihood of such a catastrophe:-
Congressman Allan l.. McDermott, Rev.
DIR. John L. Scudder, who jocularly told
Mr.. Corcoran that he was a bit of a
windmill himself: ex-Assistant Secretary
of the Navy William McAdoo, Elbert
Rappleye, Judge John A. Blair, ex-Judge
W. I. Hoffman, the next Prosecutor of
the Pleas; William H. Speer, Judge OF
to Grouse, ex-Congresslnan Thomas Me-
EVAN, Jr., DR.. John d. McGill, Mr..
James Luby. Mr.. Frank O. Cole, and a
few others, all of whom know what to
say and how to say it.
Then there will be vaudeville artists
from New York who will do all sorts of
amusing stunts: the hall will be pro-
fusely decorated and what, with the
music, the speeches and the things solid
and liquid, it will indeed be funny if
everybody doesn't enjoy himself to the
top of his bent, but not, of course, until
his top is bent.

Will Build a Fig Hotel At
the Tunnel Termir us
in New York.

1t was announced yesterday from
Philadelphia that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company will build big hotel in
New York as an annex to their proposed
depot for the 100000 tunnel.
The plans fer the building are being
completed by McKim, Mend & White,
and although every effort at secrecy has
been maintained. it is said that besides
the requisites for a modern station and
hotel theatre and other enterprises are
included.
PLENTY OF ROOM.
The railroad company has four entire
city blocks at its command and the ar
chitects have practically had free rein
in making the plans. 1t has been a
subject of much speculation what was
to be done with the two blocks not in
cluded in the original plans for the sta
ton, and it. was hardly supposed that
such valuable property was to be given
up entirely to the underground uses of
the company.
HOTEL MEN APPROVE IT.
1t is estimated that more than 100000
600 persons a year will be brought into
the Pennsylvania terminal station, al
most insuring success for the proposed
hosiery. Hotel men in New York gener-
ally admit that the plan is feasible and
that such hotel would draw greatly
from their patronage.

UNSCRUPULOUS WOMEN
Steps Taken to Prevent Them

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON, Dec. 20, 1902.-Colonel
E &C. Stahl, as secretary of the board
of managers of the State Home for Sol
diers and Their Wives, at Vineland, has
submitted his annual report of the in
stitution to Governor Murphy.
During the year sixteen persons were
admitted to the home, as against twelve
the previous year. The population of the
home at the close of the year was sey-
enty, of which thirty-one We're males
and thirty-nine females. Three inmates
were discharged and seven died during
the year.
The managers recommend the provi-
sion of the law requiring that the ap-
plicants for admission shall have been
married, not less than twenty-five years
be modified, as it works hardship on
many worthy soldiers.
UNSCRUPULOUS WOMEN.
The purpose of this clause is to prevent
the admission of INSCRIPTIONS women
who simply want home, from marry
ing the old soldiers and getting into the
that the requirement could be lewered
considerably and the State still be saved
from fraudulent cases.
1t is also recommended that a law be
enacted admitting soldiers widows, un-
der certain conditions, and that depend
ent mothers of soldiers and army nurses
be permitted to spend their last days in
the home. Such a law exists in other
States, and the plan has been endorsed
by the State Encampment of the G. A.
r.
MORE NONE YNEEDED.
Attention is called to the fact that by
reason of the enactment of the law of
last winter curtailing the amount that
the managers might retain from pensions
received by the inmates, the State will
year additional for expenses. The law
now provides that the home shall deduct
nothing from the pensions of soldiers re-
ceiving SS month OF less, while from
those receiving more than $S month so
per cent. of the excess of that sum is to
be retained
AS few of the soldiers receive more
than $S, the money formerly collected
by the home has been greatly dimin-
ished. 1t was the practice before the
enactment of the law to retain 80 per
cent. of the entire amount of the pen
sion.
The State is urged to buy a piece of
farm land adjoining the home, to cost
$1,000.
