UNIQUE CEREMONY
POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES CELE-
BRATE THE FOURTH TODAY.
Auditor Castle Praises the Optimism
Stimulated by the Recurring Ami
versary-Patriotic Airs Sung.

This afternoon at 8 o'clock the employees
Of the Post Office Department held a pa
triotic Independence day service. The
clerks of the department were dismissed for
the day at o'clock, with the understand
ing that any OF them who desired to 60
home could do so. or IL they preferred they
could remain to the meeting. The speak
ing was from the small balcony, Immediate
ly below the clock in the court over the
glass roof Of the city delivery department.
The speaker of the day was Capt. Henry A.
Castle, auditor Of the treasury for the Post
Office Department, and a prominent Grand
Army man. Acting Postmaster General
Wynne was present.
Captain Castle called attention to the fact
that the proposition for the service OF the
day came from the employees OF the depart
ment During the course Of his remarks
Captain Castle said:
Unusual conditions now obtain in this
stately edifce Recent developments indi-
cate that there have been painful betray-
ais of sacred trust within these long ac-
credited precincts. Without pretudging
guilt or forestalling final results, the coun-
try feels assured that no real criminality
will escape detection. And 1t is specially
mer1tor1ous that thespoStal system contains
within Itself the talent and facilities for
probing every highway OF fraud and byway
of suspicion.
This work OF self-purifcation. by an ex-
a
ministration in which the people have q
confidence unparalleled but fully justified,
will help make the country still better
worth living in and living for. 1ndepen-
dence day covers more territory and con-
tains more hours than ever before. 1t also
brings more genuine causes for exultation.
One Of its missions is to stimulate a
robust, sagacious optimism. Judicious con-
servatism Is commendable, but our country
men have never weltered in the agonizins
throes OF disconsolate pessimism They
have not legislated for perpetual success
sions of unrelieved catastrophe. They have
neither admired nor emulated the preach
ers and breeders of calamity who rejoice
only In perennial continuity of disaster
brambles In the highway, drouth in the
nelds, murrafn in the flock glanders in thu
stables. rabies in the kennel famine In the
Kitchen. pestilence in the chamber. bias
phemy In the soul and hatred in the heart
The service today was opened by a buyle
call to assembly by DIR. F. A. Swartwout.
Rev. George F. Dudley of St. Stephens p.
D. Church followed with prayer. ana
America" was sung by the entire assem-
plage. Mr. +. E. Barbour recited Kipling'u
Recessional and Miss Bertha Rristow
sang the Battle Hymn OF the Republic
The service was concluded by the singing
OF The Star Spangled Banner" Miss
Minnie A. Bailey acted as accompanies.
