ters out of the Office promptly. The
Christmas mail handled at the post
office now is mainly for out-of- town

pour into the office today, and will
grow steadily heavier, it is expected,
until Thursday night. The money
order division of the Office has been

Manuscript LOST BY FIRE.
Two Naval Academy Professors
Victims of The Balti-
more Blaze.

Two professors Of the Naval Acad-
emy were victims of the recent Balti-
more fire in which the Friedenwald
Book and Publishing Company were
large losers, the fire destroying their
publishing house and contents.
Professor p. r. Alger, Of the De-
partment of Mechanics, at the Naval
Academy, had his manuscript totally
destroyed. Prof. Alger had prepared
a text book on "Ballistics, concern
ing the science of projectiles, the range
Of guns, &c. The preparation of the
book had covered a period of two
years, and the book was intended for
use in the work of midshipmen at the
Naval Academy. The manuscript had
been placed in the hands of the Fried
enwald Publishing Company, Balti-
more, fSr publication, and was burned
up in the fire that recently dstroyed
the block on Eutaw and German
streets in that city.
Prof. Alger has no duplicate copy,
and the loss to him is great deal of
data after two years hard work on
the preparation of the subject. 1t is
thought the professor will begin the
work of e-writing the book.
Prof. J. Eiseland, instructor in the
Department of Mathematics, at the
Naval Academy, was also a loser in
the Friedenwald fire. Prof. Eisiand
had prepared work ON mathenati-
cal subjects, the manuscipt Of which
was in the hands of the Friedenwald
Company for publication. This
manuscript was also lost in the fire,
but Prof Eiseland fortunately, has a
rough copy and will again begin the
preparation of his work for the pub
Usher.

Public Inspection Of ConnOisssurs Desired.

In extending this invitation, realize
that the present age, is one OF particular
DEMAND. And those demands, having
established themselves by the PUBLIC it is
necessary for the progressive dealer TO
make the most strenuous effort to meet the
DEMANDS of the public, no matter how
particular they may be, or who makes
them.
Seven years ago, noted the demand
for frst-class LIQUOR STORE in theWest
End. The welfare Of the public required
a place where PURE LIQUORS could be
purchased. established my business
and made it practice to purchase none
but Pure Goods direct from Bond and
sold same at prices that de6ed any and
all competition. The public has appre-
GATED my efforts and treatment, and my
business has increased to such an extent
that have been forced to enlarge and
remodel my store, and to-day | have
the most complete and finished Stocked
LIQUOR House south of New York. A
store where none but the purest goods
are sold, and where can satisfy beyond
any controversy or doubt in both price
and quality.
The DEMAND Of the Connoisseur. or the
most particular patron. Soliciting your
future patronage, and thanking you for
the past. remain yours respectfully,

ATTACKED BY ROBBERS.
Frightened Away Before They Ob
 tained Any Money


 New York, June 3.-Attacked by three robbers who surrounded him with drawn revolvers and fired six bull lets into his body, James Faero is dy- ing at a Brooklyn hospital. His as- sailants intended to rob him of $500, his savings of years, but they were frightened away before they could ob- tain the money.
 Faero, who is 35 years old, was em- ployed in dfstillery in the suburbs. While at work early yesterday he heard a noise outside the factory. Thinking burglars might be attempt ing to force an entrance, he went out and looked about. Three men closed upon him and fired point blank.
 Four bullets struck the man in the breast and two in the arm. AS he dropped, Faero cried for help. A watchman hastened to the scene and discharged his revolver at three men who fled in the darkness. A posse was organized, but the gang had made good their escape.
