Ii would have been easy TO account
for this great shrinkage had there been
a Democratic victory on Nov. 4. Ii
would certainly have been charged tn
the wicked Democrats who are bent on
running the country. and whose com
ing victory cast its shadow in adj
vance.
Thousands of editors have jumped
at the chance to blame the party of
advcrsity. They are now at a loss To
account for this great slump. Not only
will the Republicans have the next
House by safe majority. but big
crops. and the settlement of the coal
and other great strikes assure us peace
and prosperity for some time TO come.
What. then. caused the slump?
As most of the shrinkage occurred
after the election. il cannot possibly be
charged 10 the Democrats. II is up to

where che world Stand. stin.

Life In Persia does not move at the
: modern rate. In fact, it does not move
at all. The people have legend for
everything. and they tell one which ex-
presses their own inertia. Harper's
Weekly quotes it thus:
| Allah once said to his angel: Il will
see this world which have made
So Allah and the angel descended. in
visible. to the earth, and the first place
they saw was France. There were rail-
roads and tramways and theaters and
picture galleries. And Allah was dis
appointed, and said:
''Ah, no, This is not the world which
l made. l made none Of these things
So they jOurneyed to England. and
there they saw mighty ships in the har-
bors and huge mills and food in plenty;
but Allah said:
Alas! this is not the world made"
And everywhere, as they travelled
hidden in a cloud. Allah looked down
upon the land ana said:
NO this is not it,
At last. in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia. and Allah sat down upon
high mountain and looked upon every
side. He saw neither railroads, nor
tramways. nor theaters. nor picture
galleries, nor rships, nor mills. nor school
houses, nor plenty to eat. And Allah
said:
Yes, this is the world which made.
Not thing has changed. The people
whom l put here have done nothing"

IMPROVEMENT IN 20 ST cox.

lection Made,

Small Indicator Reports the Last Col-
lection Made.
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne
is contemplating an experiment in
Brooklyn with one of the most impor-
tant improvements that have yet been
made in street letter boxes. 1t is a
device invented by Brooklyn man
Mr.. McGahan-and brought TO the at
tention of the department by Postmas-
ter Roberts. of Brooklyn. by which a
person dropping letter into box
can know just the minute when the
next collection will be made from that
box. The device consists of an indi-
Gator which can be set to indicate any
minute in the twenty-four hours. When
a carrier makes collection from let
ter box he is required to Set the indi-
Gator SO as to show when the next col
lection will be. made.
Under the present system each box
has a card on its front showing the
hours at which collections are made,
but il, for instance, the card calls for
a collection at 10 o'clock and a person
wants to mail a letter at about that
hour, he has no means of knowing
whether the carrier has arrived at
that box vet or not. When Mr.. Nc
Gahan's Indicator Is in use, IL it is still
set at 10 o'clock the carrier has not yet
been there. while if 1t has been changed
to a later hour the collection has been
made from that box, as the Brooklyn
Eagle relates. The device will also aid
in the detection of any carrier who
Sights his work and misses any Of the
boxes on his route. for If an inspector
finds a box on which the indicator has
not been changed he will know that
the carrier has missed 1t.

Peter Bretell, the Turk, Found DEAD
Yesterday Afternoon.
His Body Discovered at Hi. Rooms,
Bridge Street.

Peter Bretell, otherwise known no
.eler' the Turk, was found dead by
Marshal Breen at the rooms occupied
oy MIN in the Lancey block on Bridge
street. Andrew Grier. whos occupies
the tenement below. had not seen Peter
,Ior TWO or three days, nor Z had he
heard any sound issuing from the
rooms he occupied. So, yesterday, he
notified the marshal that he feared
something had happened to the man.
About 1.SO O'clock Marshal Breen
and officer Fletcher went to So Bridge
street to make investigations. They
found the door of Peters room locked
on the inside. Procuring ladder
MARSHAL Breen climbed to a window
or the room and entered the apart
ment. There he found the unfortunate
man lying upon his face in the middle
OF the floor cold and quiet in DEATH
His nose was bruised and there was
blood upon the floor where the body
lay. Coroner Rean was Immediately
informed of the circumstances and
decided that no inquest was necessary
as the indications all pointed to a nat
ural death.
Peter was, as is well known, subject
to epilepsy, and it was undoubtedly
during one of his periodical attacks
that death came to him. The body had
every appearance of having been lying
there for two or three days. 1t was re-
moved to the undertaking rooms of II.
w. Plummer, from which place it will
be buried. There was plenty of food
ana fuel in the room, and the marshal
found several dollars in the mans
pockets.
Hon. l.. c. Cornish is his guardian
and he says that Peter has some mon
ey in the bank, and that he did not
suffer for any of the necessaries of life.
He probably was taken with a fit and
died in the same.
Peter had been a noted character
about town for II or Is years, and he
was an industrious and patient worker.
He cut the grass on many lawns. raked
the walks and did chores for many res
idents in the summer time, and in the
winter he shoveled snow and did err
rands of all kinds. Since coming to
Augusta he lived alone, occupying for
some years n little room in the rear OF
the south end of the old Concert hail
block at the corner of State and Court
street He has also had some rooms in
other parts of the city. About two
weeks ago he moved his household
goods to the place where the marshal
found his dead body, yesterday after
noon. He was native of Turkey and
could speak little English, yet he was
popular with all who knew him, for ne
was always kind, obiiging and inoffen-
sive. His age was somewhere between
50 and so years. apparently.
