GIRLS USED AS MESSENGERS
Post Omces and Express Offices In
London Find Them More Re
liable Than Boys.

The recent departure made by the
London post offices in employing girls
ms well as boys for the express messen-
ger service is meeting with great sue
cess. The girls prove more reliable
than boys, and seem to be quite as able
to stand the strain of the work. There
Is no examination to be passed beyond
the fact of knowing the locality thor
oughly. All applicants must be over
is years of age, have good characters,
be quick walkers, and be thoroughly
healthy. They are expected to walk
with any message which lies within ten
minutes distance of the office to
which they are attached. Beyond that
radius either bus or underground
railway fare is allowed, says a Lon
don paper.
The receiver of the express message
has to sign paper stating at what
hour IL was delivered. This acts as an
effectual check to all lettering. No
uniform is given to the girl messenger,
but her wages are at the rate of about
10 shillings a week.
This opens a useful means of liveli-
hood to young women who dislike the
confinement of indoor work and wish
for more healthy outdoor employ
nent. The competition for vacancies
will doubtless be very keen before
long.

Miserable Looking OLD italian Cree

Courtroom.

Tender-hearted persons in the Har-
lem police court, New York city, were
shocked when Francisco Georgia. an
aged, shriveled and misunderstanding
Italian organ-grinder, was fined five
dollars for begging. The white-haired
old man looked appealingly about the
room, and from long habit, put his
hand out, but, quickly recovering him
self, and glancing uneasily at the mag
istrate, he brought forth a grimy old
bag and counted out pennies, nickels,
dimes and quarters until he had paid
his fine. Then he paid five dollars, also
in small change, TO his lawyer. BY this
time n crowd was about him. To the
establishment of the court attaches
and those who had sympathized with
him, he produced package containing
$3.50 in bills and book on the Bank Of
Rome, Italy, showing he had $4,000

says he will retire from business.
He thinks a man shauld retire at 60.
The beggar also volunteered the in
formation that he recently gave his
daughter $4,000 as a wedding present.

KRucER.s LIFE AT UTRECHT.


Cabling from Utrecht, the London
STAFF correspondent of the New York
Tribune says there Is no decline In
the popularity Of former President
Kruger, although he lives in seclusion
and is seldom seen outside his villa in
this small factory town. He is sur
rounded by a swarm of relatives and
Boer exiles, sees few visitors, and is
more phlegmatic and taciturn than
ever. He is unmanageable in money
matters, and so deliberate and eau
tious in expressing his opinion and
Judgment respecting South African af-
fairs, that he is seldom consulted by
the other Boer leaders. DIR. Leyds is
received as the diplomatic representa-
tive of the South African Republic and
allowed to display his full uniform on
state occasions at The Hague. Mr..
Kruger is a private citizen, living in
exile, and is not encouraged TO visit
the capital or appearf in public. Yet
he is reverenced throughout the Meth
erlands as a hero.
Mr.. Kruger is Enthusiastically aging,
the dispatch concludes, as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than IL was and his general health has
improved during his residence near
Utrecht, but his mind has grown dull
and his grim humor has disappeared.
He remains the central figure of the
group of Boer refugees, because his
personality Is still unrivaled.

PENN NOT THE GODFATHER.
stone state Was Not Named
After the Early settler.

Many people are under the impress
sion that Pennsylvania owes it's name
to William PENIS vanity. In point of
fact, it Is not named after him, but
after Admiral Penn, his father, and
the son only accepted the name under
protest. This fact, says the Chicago
Chronicle, is proved by this para
graph in letter written by William
Penn under date January s, 1881:
''This day, after many writings, watch
ings, solicitings and disputes in coun-
ell, my country was confirmed to me
under the great seal of England. with
large powers and privileges, by the
name of Pennsylvania, a name which
the king would give it in favor of nv
father. / chose New Wales, being a
billy country, and when the secretary.
Welshman, refused to call it New
Wales, proposed Sylvania, and they
added Penn to 1t, though / was much
opposed to it and went to the king to
have it struck out. He said It was past
and he would take it upon him. nor
could 20 guineas move the undersecre-
tary to vary the name. for | fear II

WON'T PAY THE HIGH RENT.
Russell Sage VIII Move Rather Than
submit 60 what He Thinks Is an
ExOrbitnnt Increase.

Russell Sage said the other day
that he will move rather than pay
the increase in rent which Commo-
dore Gerry intends to charge after
May / for the house and lot at SOC
Fifth avenue. Mr.. Sage now pays
$4,000 year, or five per cent. of $780,
600, the figure Mt which the land was
valued when he renewed the lease 81
years ago.
Now the valuation has been revised
and placed at 100000, so II Mr.. Sage
still has to pay five per cent. his
rent for land will go up TO $4,000 a
year. He owns the house. He built
it something over 40 years ago, and
has lived there ever since.
''Why, it's outrageous" he said, "to
talk of such a raise in rent. They'll
drive everybody off Fifth avenue IL
they don't look out. / don't want to
move, for have lived there over 40
years, but / won't stay and pay any
thing exorbitant."
