PAYING BIG RENTS.
Investigation Proves Government Is
Overcharged for P. O. Quarters.

New York, June 4.-The BROOKLYN
Eagle says that Investigation made by
It shows 100000 per annum is paid in
New ork state in excess of the normal
commercial rentals for postohices The
Eagle adds that as the leases run for
ten years the total excess amounts to
$5,000,000 1t adds:
"Confining the investigation to New
York state, in which nearly every Sec
ton has been covered it is difficult to
find an instance where the federal gov
eminent is not paying from % to so per
cent more than it should for rentals
Indeed, so universal is the graVely ex-
cessive rate that a belief would be justi-
fed that an organized conspiracy to ad-
vance and maintain the high figures OF
these rentals exists or has existed for
some time. All the traffic would bear
seems to be the rule.
Instances of 80 per cent above the
rentals paid by private interests for like
property similarly situated are many,
IS per cent cent not infrequent while, in
some cases, 100 and even 200 per cent
has been reached. Instances have been
found where leases have been executed
against the postof1ce department for the
occupation of floors in buildings which
were not in existence, but which were
yet to be built and were so built and
occupied at grossly excessive rates
THE most notable and fragrant in
stance of the abuse is shown in Dun
kirk in Chautauqua county. 1t is a city
of 1915 population by the last census.
For a single floor for the accommoda-
ton of the postof1fce the government is
paying $1,000 annually. In the same
block. a few doors nearer the central
business point of the city, is q building
the first or street floor of which IS
occupied by a business concern. which,
apart from this postof1ce building, COM
mands the highest rent in the city of
Dunkirk The merchant occupying 1t
pays $500 per annum.

AT THE STEWART HOME.
There Were as People Cared for
There Tuesday.

The home of J. N Stewart was a
haven for over forty of the flood suffer
ers. Friday at o'clock Mr.. Stewart
sent word to his near neighbors to come
to his house. which is on ground about
ten feet higher than the land just south
of him. Friday night fifteen people were
there, fed and had good beds. Saturday
the number was swelled to twenty-six
and by Tuesday forty-fve persons were
there. The men slept on the hay in the
barn, the house being given up to the
women and children. Many of them had
lost their all but the comforts of this
home made them in part forget their
misfortune. E. F. Tenant and wife,
Joseph House and wife, W. J. W ood-
burn and family, T. ]. Nash and family,
e. L. Ball, a Shawnee county pioneer, J.
S Bacon and wife and W. E. Bacon and
wife are among the guests. Several are
leaving for other towns. Miss Priscilla
Shreve has gone to Washburn college to
stay with her sister. Mr.. and Mrs Z.
Elddred were in tree for ten hours, Mrs.
Eldred holding her baby all night, often
about to release her hold.

FROM MRS. THORPE.
Calls Attention to an Especially
Worthy Family.

Mrs Thorpe reports among the suffer-
ers a family who have lost nearly all
they had, and it is a family who for
years back have always responded up
to their full meager limit to every ap-
peal TO help others And now in this,
believes there are people in Topeka who
will help provide for their wants. They
have found a small house, but they need
a bed, including mattress and bed cloth
ing. a cupboard, kitchen table, cooking
utensils and dishes, a gasoline stove a
few chairs and some stove pipe. Are
there not those in Topeka who already
have some of these things which they
are not using, and who will be glad for
a family to have them-a family which
has never before asked for help, but
which has always divided what they
have had with those less fortunate than
themselves. Mrs Thorpe guarantees
that this is a particularly worthy case.

Chinatown Decorated for New Years.

Of friends All through Chinatown
and in PelI and Mott streets in par
ticulaT, are to be seen men in flow
ing robes Of silk, decorated with
various ornaments These are worn
in honor OF the celebration and each
tries to Outshine his neighbOr in gor-
geOusness.
Chinatown presents a lively scene
from one end to the other. Huge gel
low flags with a big dragon in the
center are interviewer with the stars
and stripes and cOIored bunting
almost hides the fronts Of buildings
from view. Il is not uncommon to
see large silk banners spangled with
particles Of mirrors and Jade floating
from fagstaffs projecting from win
dows- Banners, lanterns and bril-
Hantly painted signs hang from win
dOws, balconies and fire escapes
Great strings of irecrackers are
strung from one side TO the other and
back again and suspended from these
are hideOus pictures. At night these
fTecrackers are set OF with a deaf
ening roar. The objects which we're
suspended from the strings are sent
up into the air attached TO balloons.
Before the shrine in the joss house
are piled sweetmeats and fruits Of
the cOstliest kinds and the aromatic
OdOr of incense sticks hangs about
the place. Strains Of wierd music
are heard, and in and out Of the build
ing there is a Gathering all day Of
wooden cymbals.
