THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
a Great Increase III the Service and
Unlimited Extension Ahead.

Washington Letter in Chicago Chron
| icle.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
rural free delivery service was given
by Postmaster General Payne the
other day during Tho course of one of
his afternoon chats with newspaper
correspondents. At the present time
there are $4,000 routes scattered
from tho Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Canadian border to 80
Mexican frontier. Within two yea rs
this number will be increased to 3S,-
600 and thereafter the increases will
be made steadily in practically every
county in the United States. Ulti
mately it is expected and hoped that
there will be not fewer than $4,000
rural free delivery routes. The
effect Of the rural free delivery scr
vice upon postal revenues is to stimu
late them tremendously. Taking
Carroll County, Maryland, whore
rural free delivery received it's first
test, as an example, there has been
steady annual increase of more than
10 per cont in local postal revenues.
Previous to the Introduction Of the
country mail carrier the annual in
crease averaged less than 2 per cent.
Carroll County, while admitted to be
fair specimen Of the value Of the
service, docs not begin to approach
the records of hundreds of Western
counties, whore annual increases of
70 and 30 per cent have been re-
corded. Mr. Payne estimates that
within seven years the postal service
will pay its way and that thereafter
instead of III annual deficit in the
revenues there will be a constantly
increasing surplus.

STATE CAPITOL A DEATH TRAP.
Sewer Gas Has Been Escaping Into Off
cialS' Quarters.

Columbia May IS An investiga.
tion of the presence of smoke in the
attorney generals Office yesterday
developed the startling fact that the
State capitol is infested with sewer
gas
After the morning had been spent
in looking for the cause of tho smoke
it WAS discovered that Il plank in the
basement was ON fire, having been
ignited by means of combustion of
lime, which had been sprinkled over
the old sewer main far down in the
basement of the building. The con
dition of affairs which was thus un
covered or made apparent WAS really
more alarming than if the entire
State capitol had been on fire, fo,.
the lives of it's occupants are endan
gered by sewer gas.
All Of the poisonous gas from tho
rottiug mains in the basement was
escaping into the chimney which
led to tho Office Of the attorney gen
oral aud to the other Offices on that
side of the first floor of the capitol
Owing to the fact that of the eight
men who have beeu employed rs
watchmen at the capitol in the last
thirteen years five have died, one is a
confirmed invalid and two others
have suffered from intestinal levers.
The State house officials were very
much alarmed by the conditions of
affairs made apparent yesterday.
