cfency declined S2,3OO, 900. In 1900 re- ceipts rose $7,24O,OOO higher, but the deficiency fell only S1,O0O,G00.
 Then, in 1901, congress took hold of rural free delivery in real earnest, al lowing $1,75O,GOO for that branch that year and nearly $4,O00,000 in 1902. The effect was positive and immediate. In 1901 receipts rose nearly Sl0,OOO,OOO above those of 1900, while the def ciency fell s3,3OO,000. And in 1902 re- ceipts gained more than $1O,OO0,0O9, while the deficiency sank another Sl,- 0OO, COG In fact, since rural free deliv- cry was seriously undertaken the pos tai deficiency has declined practically in inverse ratio to the expenditure on that branch of the business.
 Statistics at hand do not give the pro portion of increased revenue derived rom the rural free delivery routes. Nor is it really necessary to have such fig ures. It is evident that the largely profitable new business of the depart ment-the business which returns con- siderably more than the cost of doing it-comes from the rural free delivery branch This is the only strictly new facility afforded by the department to the public for several. years, and the more widely it is offered the more rap idly do the revenues of the departmen' increase.
 About 100000 square miles of tho national territory are considered by the departments experts to be able to give profitable support to rural free de- livery service. Only about One-third of this territory is now covered. IT the light of the facts rapid and vigor- ous extension of the rural free deliv- cry service, without, of course, neg lecting other improvements, is evi- dently the policy that will bring tho largest returns for a liberal e1spendi- ture. Rural free delivery is plainly the field wherein congress can just now spend money most profitably in order to make money for the postal service and go wipe out the deficiency alto gether and make the service self-sus- taining-Chieago Inter-Ocean.

SPENDING TO MAKE MORE
What Statistics Show in Regard to
 Our Postal Revenues.

The truth of the maxim that in order to make money the trader must spend mohey in developing his business is well illustrated by Postmaster General Payne's annual report Since the de- partment has begun to spend money freely in developing it's business in new directions it's revenues have increased with accelerating speed, until now the postal service is nearer self-sustaining than it has been since the last reduc- tion in rates.
 In the fiscal year 1898 prosperity had been fairly well re-established. and postal receipts proved the fact by rising about s12OOO,OOO over those of 1895. But no new line of business had been developed and the postal defi- ciency, over $11, 100000 in 1885, was still over s1O,50O 600 in 1898. In other words while business was increasing it cost about as much to do it as it brought in, and there was no real gain.
 But an experiment toward develop ing a new line of postal business had begun-that of rural free delivery. On this $40, ,000 had been spent in 1897 and S5O,0OO in 1898. The new product was evidently meeting a demand. Tn 1899, though the success of the experiment was still deemed uncertain, congress was induced to spend $150.000 on it, anl in 1900 to increase this to S45O,00O In 1899 postal receipts increased S4,OOO, ,OO0 as compared with 1898, while the def-

PLAN UNIVERSAL CoNcLAvE.
Lawyers and Jurists of the World "a
Meet at ST. Louis Fair
In 1903

Those who are learned in, the law
of many lands will meet in universal
conclave at the worlds fair. The
plan was launched by the executive
committee of the exposition when it
formally appointed committee to
confer with like bodies from the
American association and the bar of
st. Louis to arrange for programme
for an international congress of law
yers and jurists as a leading feature
of the great debates at the fair.
The three committees will meet to
begin the work of exploiting the con-
gress by inviting the most brilliant
legal minds in the world to become
delegates to the assembly. The COM
mittee chosen by the National Bar as
ISOLATION includes a member from
every state and territory.

The country. Death H.te.

A recent bulletin of the United
States census compares the mortality
OF 1890 and that of 1900, and shows
that there has been a diminution of
something like ten per cent. in the
death rate. In 1890 the average
longevity in the United States was
81 years; in 1900 it is 35.2 years.
The increase is 13 per cent. This is
the conclusion, at least, so far as
cities Of over 5000 inhabitants are
concerned, and it represents the facts
for the whole country approximately
In 1894 245 persons died of consump-
ton in every 10000; in 1900 only 100.
The case is similar, though not so
marked, for other diseases-diph-
liberia, bronchitis, typhoid, cholera in
fantum and the like. The main
causes are a perfected hygiene Of
towns and the progress of medicine.
Pneumonia, however, claimed 1872 VIC
Tins per 10000 in 1900 to 1877 in 1890.

ScHwAB AT MONTE CARLO.
President of United States steel Corr
poration Makes Big VIM
nings at the Resort.

Charles M. Schwab, president of the
United States Steel corporation, who
has been playing roulette very high at
Monte Carlo, broke the bank the other
afternoon. He had backed &c plein,
and in various ways in maximums had
won $4,000 francs. He left the table
amid great excitement, and a large
crowd followed him.
He started playing on pair on an
other table, and lost $4,000 francs at
even chances on five successive coups.
He then resumed his practice of back
ing a certain number and the con-
tiguous numbers on the cloth to the
extent of 1000, 1000 or 5000 francs.
He lost every time, and his winnings
nearly vanished. Although Schwab
had occasional runs of luck in the aft
ernoon in addition to hS recent win
ming of rs, 600 francs on two successive
coups, he has already dropped several
thousand dollars. He lost ten coups
of 1900 francs in succession the other
night.
