Well-Bred Young People.

From the London Saturday Review.
The type of well-bred youth or maiden Is,
IL not obsolete, rapidly obsolescent. Former
ly there were well-recognized railings be-
tween the different ages. but. encouraged
by their parents. the modern youth have
incontfnently stormed these barriers. and
are everywhere at all times We have seen
young ladies refuse to leave the dinner
table with their mother and remain to
romp with boys upon the hearth rug, to the
dismay OF the men who. with sckly smiles
of counterfeited glee. tried to sip their port
and talk politics. We. have seen young
gentlemen with turned-up trousers and the
perennial cigarette between their lips
lounge away the afternoon In their moth
er's drawing room staring silently at her
guests through rings of smoke. 1t is i'm
possible that young people so brought up
can be other than selfish and 1nconsiderate
men and women. So long as they are young
they may get their way. for we are GRIM
inally indulgent to mere homage. So long
as they can buy what they want 1t may be
well for them. But should they have to
enter the race as competitors they will Bit
terly regret the fondneSs of their parents
in not tea ching them to do unto others as
they would be done by. II they have brains
they will correct their bad education. for
when all has been said bad manners are
due to defect of intelligence.

Ing certain trusts and combinations. which

the attention Of the Attorney General OF the
United States with a request that the ma
ch'nery OF the government be set In mo-
fton with view to the destruction Of the
trusts. but thus far nothing had been done.
The petition prayed that Congress take ac-
tion In vindication of Its law.
Mr. Turner said the memorial contained
also some allegations against the present
Attorney General and his immediate prede-
cessor. but he did not wish to be under
stood as fathering the charges.
He asked that the memorial be printed

immortal Lincoln. and furthermore re-
counted many Of the important events in
the life Of the famous statesman.

where the martyred President died. on 10th
street between E and F streets northwest.
has been open to the public today, no ad-
mission being charged on this occasion.

people, and in this way. as well as In many
others. has the interest in the anniversary
been made manifest.

Consecrated Culture Needed.
From Success.


The larger a man becomes, the keener
and finer are his needs. Every enlarge
ment Of his capabilities by the sharpening
Of his faculties, by culture, by thinking
and contemplation. not only increases his
own demands for a greater variety Of men,
tai and moral food. but also increases his
obligations to the world, for he has more
to give to others. There is little hope for
the world from selfish culture. The boy or
girl who goes to college. for his or her sell
fish ends. to satisfy ambition or vanity, or
to gain social position. viii have very little
to give to others. It is only consecrated
culture that counts. The man who does not
feel throbbing within him the desire to be
Of service to the world. to make the COM
munity In which he lives better and nobler,
has missed the true aim Of education, or
life itself. The secret OF Henry Drum
mond's great power was that his learning
was consecrated to the service Of others.
It was 90 transfused with love for man
kind that THE Greatest Thing In the
World" was the natural and legitimate out
come OF his broader culture.

FOR THE POST OFFICE
Annual Appropriation Bill is
Completed.
THE LARGEST REPORTED
RURAL FREE DELIVERY CAR
RIERS PUT UNDER CONTRACT.
No Cons ler.tapn Of Pneumatic Tube
serysce-Cut in Amount for
East Mails.

The post office appropriation bill was con-
cluded today by the House committee on
appropriations. and will be reported to the
House this week. The bill is the largest
ever reported, carrying $137, ,916 sos. Is. which
Is $14, 133 900 more than the appropriation
for the postal service for the current year.
It exceeds the estimates submitted by the
Post ONCE Department by g, 200.
VIII Cause a Commotion.
The feature Of the bull which will cause
the greatest commotion in the House is a
clause unanimously inserted by the COM
mfttee, putting the rural free delivery car
riers on the contract system. and thus TAX
Ing them from under the civil service
There are over 5000 Of these carriers now
In the service. and as they visit almost
daily every farm house on their routes, they
have already become a powerful political
factor. This is aceentuated by the fact that
they have a national organization, and are
in position to make their influence felt in
the primaries as well as at Washington.
If the service Is made a contract system
1t will at once become competitive. and the
objectional political features of a perma-
nent, organized force of government en-
ployes will be obviated
The appropriation for this service is made
on the salary basis and amounts to ST..
250.OO0. Under the contract system the to-
tai cost Of this service will be much less
and the service much better, in the opinion
of members Of the committee.
Pneumatic Tube Not Considered.
The estimate Of the department for an
appropriation Of 100000 for the pneumatic
tube system was not considered by the
committee, and the usual fight in the
House over this proposition will be obvi-
ated when this bill is under consideration.
An appropriation for this service is clearly
subject to a point of order, and the COM
mittee will likely bring In bill later max
ing an appropriation for pneumatic tube
service in the larger cities.
The growth of the service Is given as the
reason for the increase in the total Of the
dollars to cover the salary Of new post
post offices. $2.3OO,OOO is provided. while
for the promotion of these clerks $S00,0O0 is
provided.
Fast Mail Service Cut.
The appropriation of $2S5OO usually made
to the Pennsylvania railroad for fast
mail subsidy between New York and Wash
ington. is not continued in the present bill.
Subsidies amounting to something like
$4,000 have been annually paid to the
railroads Of the country for fast mail ser
vice. The Pennsylvania road is the only
cut in this item this year. but 1t Is under
stood that this is the first step in a plan to
abolish this practice altogether.

DAY AHEAD OF TIME
Arrival of the Hohenzollern
at New York.
BY SHIPPING
NO SOCIAL FUNCTIONS UNTIL

Plans for the Press Dinner, to Be Pre-
sided Over by Bishop
Potter.
SALUTED BY SHIPPING

NEW YORK. February 12.-The German
imperial yacht Hohenzollern, commanded
by Admiral Count Won Baudissin, arrived
unexpectedly at New York this afternoon
day ahead Of her schedule. When she
sailed from St. Thomas on Saturday last,
cable advices stated. that she would pro-
ceed to Bermuda and after stay Of day
or SO in that port proceed to the United
States. Her non-arrval at Bermuda oc-
casioned some apprehension that she had
met with heavy weather, but 1t was said
today that the entire voyage had been
smooth with the exception that there was a
strong westerly gale yesterday.
The Hohenzollern was sighted by the
marine observer at Atlantic Highlands a
few minutes before noon today. An hour
later she passed In the Narrows, and as
she steamed past Forts Wadsworth and
Hamilton the German naval ensign was
displayed from the staff on her taffrail.
Word of her arrival had been promptly sent
to quarantine, and when she came up the
doctors were waiting to board and pass her.
The delay was very slight. and before half
past o'clock the big yacht was heading up
the harbor for Hoboken, where she will be
docked and cleaned.
Saluted by the Shipping.
The Hohenzollern was recognized by the
shipping in the harbor and nearly all the
passing vessels alufed elther with a dip OF
the colors or whistle.
The kaiser's yacht is bark-rigged two
funnel man-of-war like craft with ram
bow. The yacht carries eight rapid-f1re
Krupp guns At quarantine it was said
by her officers that the question of their
acceptance Of any social courtesies prior to
the arrival of the prince had not been con-
sidered by them. but they did not think
1t would be possible or proper to attend any
function until Prince Henry arrives.
The Hohenzollern docked at the piers Of
the North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany at Hoboken. and will be thoroughly
overhauled and put in order.
1t is not known why the Hohenzollern de-
parted from her prearranged itinerary and
failed to touch at Bermuda.
The Press Dinner.
Herman Ridder who is In charge Of the
arrangements for the dinner to be given to
the representatives Of the American press
in honor Of Prince Henry On the evening
of February 26. said today that he had re-
ceived a telegram from Bishop Potter. ac-
cepting the invitation to be present at the
