RURAL FREE DELIVERY
WANTS MORE MONEY
Congress Will Probably Be Asked for
an Appropriation Of $1a,ooo,ooo for
Next Fiscal Year.

Postmaster General Payne will prob
ably ask an appropriation Of s12,o00,0ot
for the rural free delivery service fol
the fiscal year ending in 1904. The
amount granted by Congress for the
present year, which will end June 30
1908, is $7,500,000 Last year .he appro-
priation was s3,500.O0O, and the year be-
fore sl,750,000.
These figures illustrate more cmphat-
ically than anything else the develop
ment. popularity and success of this
great branch of the postal service. New
routes are being established more rapid
ly than ever before and it Is now es-
timated that By July /, 1903, $4,000
routes will be In operation in the United
States. 1t is estimated that for the iis-
cal year ending June 80, 1904, $4,000, 900
will be needed for maintenance OF the
service and 100000 for its extension,
and the officials of the department be-
lieve that by the end OF that year $4,000
rural free delivery routes will have
been established.
The fact that the postal deficiency
for the past year will be less than
81, 900 900 Is urged as sufficient argu-
ment against the expensiveness CT the
rural free delivery service. While that
service is being developed at phenom-
email rate the department is becoming
more nearly self-supporting. 1t is the
confident expectation that eventually the
rural free delivery service will he on
an even keel, the increased receipts
from the routes practically meeting the

GUEST OF CUBAN MINISTER.
Mr.. Enrique Mesa, Assistant Mayor OF
Santiago, Makes a Call.

Mr.. Enrique Mesa, assistant mayor o
Santiago de Cuba, was at the Arlington
Saturday. as the guest of Mr. Gnnzalo
de Qnesada, the Cuban minister. Mayor
Messa was en- route TO New York To
consult with capitalists in regard to a
railroad concession to open territory ir
the eastern part of Cuba He expects
to interest number of capitalists III
the plan to open new territory. which
is said to be vastly rich in products
that would tend to make freight traffic
profitable.
Mayor Messa was only in Washington
a few hours. He visited the Cuban le-
CATION. took dinner at the Arlington.
and enjoyed a short drive through the
city. He was unable TO view from the
interior the many historic buildings, but
expressed his pleasure at the general
beauty of the city and promised TO soon
make a return visit,
THE commercial outlook in Cuba is
much better now than for many
months said Mayor Messa The great
est cause for worry is the slow market
for sugar. That product is becoming
dllnost gut On the HaThel. I1o"e'"''
the trade between the United States and
Cuba is growing every day. and the ner-
chants of the country are more nope
full"
Mayer Mesa would not discuss the
projected Cuban loan. saying that he
had given it little thought. He thinks
there will be no trouble in getting plen-
ty of money for investment in agricul-
tural pursuits, railroad building or
equipping steamship lines. He looks for
most of these investments to be made
with American money.

THE MANLY MAN, THEME
OF INTERESTING SERMON
Rev. G, N. Luccock breaches at the
Metropolitan Presbyterian
Church.

The text chosen by Rev. G. N. Luc
cock pastor of the Metropolitan Pres
byterian Church. for his sermon at tn,
Sunday morning service was:
Acts xxyi.16: but rise and stand OF
thy feet: for / have appeared unto ths'
for this purpose to make thee minis,
ter and witness
The substance Of the discourse was
as follows:
Standing on his feet is the prop
er posture of a man. There are those
who appear men outwardly. but within
they are down on all fours like beast
The Gospel makes a man erect in the
hidden man OF the heart, with his head
up among his fellow men, in the clear
confidence of an indisputable manli-
ness
'The Gospel way OF making a man Is
through ministry and martyrdom. A
man is made great in fact. and in the
hearts of others by ministertng. The
perfect Man came not to be ministered,
but to minister. The hard disciplines Of
life make men, because these increase
tueiT capacity IOr ministry. Inc Heu
who started poor and became indepen-
dent and able to minister to themselves
count their early enforced economies a
blessing
so, also. does one become manly
through being a martyr. Martyr is Just
Greek for witness. martyr Is one who
tells the truth to his own hurt and an
others advantage. A certain maj in
herits a valuable estate. After years Of
enjoyment of the luxuries and honors
of 1t. he discovers a will later than that
under which he inherited, and indubir-
ably genuine. He alone knows Of the
later will. To tell the truth is to be
stripped Of his wealth and social dig
hity. But to be SO emptied of his glory
is to unveil his manhood.
ITO such witnessing to the truth as
1t is in him, does Jesus summon the
world. 1t costs self-denial. But every
human interest is involved in the hav
ing that truth told. And men grow
manlier in choosing hatred, scoffing
and abuse. rather than in silence shrink
from the truth they needs must think"

DR.. KENT breaches ON :
INTELLECTUAL TRAINING
An Eloquent Sermon by the Pastor Of
the Peoples Churchman'S Nor
ality Defined.

DR.. Alexander Kent. pastor OF thu
Peoples Church. 423 G Street northwest
preached yesterday morning from Ttil.
ippians, ii:5-"Have the mind in yo,
which is also in Christ Jesus" He saic
in part:
1.-The distinguishing feature between
man and the lower animals is the mind
of the former. The supreme need of the
world is mind, mind Of the right sort
/ do not use the word necessarily IN the
sense OF intellect alone, but the kind
Of mind that loves justice, that has the
power 10 will and do
DR.. Kent said that ordinarily schools
only trained the intellect, or If they
gave instruction of supplementary ma
ture 20 the higher qualities it was only
so much as was necessary to teach cour-
tesy and good breeding.
Often, he said. the schools sought 10
supplement their intellectual training by
reading from the socalled revealed re-
ligion. He said he was in sympathy
with those who found the schools of the
day deficient in training for the higher
qualities of the heart. but not in sym
pathy with those who sought 10 sup
ply this deficiency by teaching children
from the scriptures such things as were
not acceptable to their awakened rea-
son.
Take for instance the study of geo
logy," he said; i1the pupil is taught
what the age of the world It, and his
reason leads him to accept the scien-
tific explanation of things.
Suppose that the scripture readings
for that day include the first chapter
Of Genesis. which tells of the creation
of the earth in six days. One of two
things happens. He will either dis
credit 1is reason. or the book II he
is afraid to believe his reason and blind
ly believes the book IL tends to destroy
his confidence in his own powers. The
person who does not think will Dlndly
accept both perhaps"
Continuing Mr.. Kent defined morality
as mans relation with his fellow nan.
and religion as his relations with Col.
the universe and his fellow man.
in the plan of salvation OF the ortho-
dox churches" he said, mans Justice,
kin.iness, goodness. and benevoiencs are
counted as nothing and unless he accepts
the doctrine of salvation only through |
the crucinxion OF Christ. il is said he |
will go to hell. That is not the teach |
ing Of religion. but Of superstition"

The Leisure Class.

In speaking of the leisure classes the
minister became sarcastic and severe.
THE leisure class he-said, has ever
been the viper's nest. where liberty was
stung to death. The upper class, the
idle rich. the Four Hundred, the New
porters. are comparable to the people
OF Babylon. !. Athens, and Rome Such
a state is sure to breed wrong, bnsfial-

SURGEON GENERAL OF
ARMY MAKES REPORT
Decided Reduction in Num-
Der OF Deaths During Year.
Mortality Heavy Among Chinese Resi-
dents of the Philippines-Choler
Situation Feature of Report.

The annual report of the Surgeon
General of the Army has been made
public by the War Department Gen.
eral Forwood, who makes it, says that
there has been reduction in the deaths
and number of cases Of sickness in the
army during the past year.
The principal feature OF the report
| is discussion of the cholera situation
| In the Philippines General Forwood, on
this subject. says In part as follows:
NO case Of cholera was reported from
the army during the year 1901, but on
the afternoon of March 20. 1902, two sus-
picious cases were reported to the board
of health of Manila as being present in
the San Juan de Dios Hospital.
To Protect the Army.
Orders were Immediately issued
from headquarters of the Division
of the Philippines containing instruc-
tions to all officers for the protection of
their commands, of themselves, and their
households
Two days later orders were issued an
governor all medical officers were made
members of boards of health and re-
quired as such to take charge Of the
sanitation of the towns in which they
were stationed. On the came day the
chief surgeon issued circular with
regard to the use of disinfectants.
These instructions and requirements
were promulgated in the departments
of the division
Mortality Among Chinese.
"As the result of the carrying out of
these measures required by these orders
and circulars the troops in Manila and
other infected towns suffered little
from the disease, while the native and
Chinese residents suffered severely.
In his report for the month ending
May Is, 1902. the chief surgeon reported
that in Manila, which was the focus
among the troops, but that Pasay, Santa
Mesa and the transports Warren and
Hancock in the harbor each had a case
or two. ,ds
"Ontside Of Manila however, fifty-one
soldiers had been affected and thirty-one
had died.
with view to guarding against in
fection from water supplies in the fu-
ture a Recommendation was made to
include in orders for the movement of
troops in cholera territory paragraph
requiring the providing Of distilled
water and cooked food in sufficient
quantity and the presence of commits
stoned officer on, each casco or other
boat.
"In the city of Manila at this time the
cases numbered 1.005 and the deaths
500. Twenty three Americans and thir-
teen Europeans had been attacked with
eighteen and ten deaths. respectively.
In the provinces 3,210 cases, of which
2, ,522 were fatal, had been reported. but it
is probable that moderate estimate of
unreported or concealed
cases would add 20 per cent to these
numbers.
Later information showed greatly
increased and increasing prevalence Of
the disease. 1t was thought that $4,000
cases constituted a conservative esti-
mate for the archipelago.
Among the troops during the month
from June Is to July Is, two officers and
men were attacked. both
of the officers and fifty-two of the men
fatally. Several of these cases occurred
in Manila, but the majority were in
Laguna and Batangas."

stock unusually attractive at this time
of year. The only trouble here among
so many articles that are beautiful. as
well as useful and inexpensive, is In
making the selection, the assortment Is
so large. The necktes are very
beautiful this year. The fOur-in-hand
still holds the lead for shape. The ma
terial of which the ties are made must
be seen to be fully appreciated. There
are but few loud styles mostly in
rich. modest effects. dark grounds with
small delicate figures in red, blue, or
lavender. The black ground with
small figures in white are in great de-
mand. The light colors are simply
exquisite and the white grounds with
woven figures are more beautiful than
ever You may think you never IN
other seasons saw such beautiful
goods as Mr.. Mason shows in the fifty
cent lines. but when he shows the
lines of ties at 800. $1.25 and $500 it is
a revelation in richness of material
and color. You always find here very
choice patterns in mems fancy hose,
this year they are mostly in small
figures. Then there are the fancy
shirts in endless variety, white shirts,
shirts for evening dress. house coats,
bat tn wraps, pajamas, night shirts,
gloves lined and unlined, and they are
all so beautiful and dainty you want
to buy some of each. Well, do SO. no
man ever had too much of these
things or ever wondered after the
holidays what they We're good for.
