THE REIGN OF KING GRAFT.
Post Office Inspectors Investigating
Alleged Sales of Promotions and
Transfers in Office.

Washington, April 12.-Post-office
inspectors are busily Investigating
charges that ring has existed in the
department for the sale of promo
tions and transfers in the department
generally, but especially in the New
York post office.
The charges are written and signed
by name which may or may not be
fictitious. Since the first letter with
the charges was received there have
been several others substantiating it.,
but whether these letters are from in
dependent sources 3 not known.
According to the charges, the ring
in the New York post office was thor
oughly organized and did business on
the same basis as that of the New
York police ring, which sold all pro-
motions for a stated sum, and then
regularly collected percentage OF
the increased pay through collector
who was well known and was paid
for his trouble by commissions on the
amounts he received. The balance in
New York, it is said, was turned over
to the men at the head of the scheme
who had sufficient influence to make
the promotions.

Mr.. John Poorpop. City.

Dear Sir: | have been consulted by your
daughter Lucy regarding the state OF her
health. and at her suggestion | write you
nv advice concerning her case. This letter,
therefore. may be looked upon as prescrip-
ton. although it does not bear the usual
form. In the first place. your daughter s
affliction is one which will require continu'
GUS treatment for its cure. 1t has become
chronic, and believe was congenital.
I have diagnosed the case as one OF Lazy
ritis, by no means rare alment. a
thorough course of physical culture is the
only cure. For this reason recommend
that your daughter be furnished with the
appropriate apparatus and costume for in
| dulging in the following exercises:
Wrestling bagpunchmg, Swedish calls
themes, medicine ball game. grace move
| ments, endurance motions, and fiexng ac'
| tions.
Wrestling-This exercise can be had while
making beds. Turning several heavy mat
tresses day will prove very beneficial.
Bag Punching-This exercise also can be
had while making beds. Humping pillows
to get them soft and smooth is excellent
for the muscles Of the arms, and shoulders
Swedish Calisthenics-These can be in.
duged in with the aid of broom. The
bending and swaying necessary in sweep.
ing will reduce the size of the waist and
strengthen the whole torso.
| Medicine Ball Game-One of the best ex
ercises ever invented. Ball is not needed
| Take up baby for couple of hours daily,
dandling, bathing, dressing, and undressing
| it as required A kicking, sQuirming child
beats anything ever invented for strengthen.
ing the forearm and the muscles of the back.
Grace Movements-These are practced
while welding feather buster. They aid
in symmetrical development.
Endurance Motions--To be practeed over
| washtub with hot. soapy water and soiled
clothes The up-and down action by which
the clothes are cleansed will strengthen the
| whole body and give great powers of endur'
ance. Also excellent as vapor bath for the
complexion.
Nexing Actions Scrubbing gives these
| actions to perfection. The reaching out
| with brush while the person exercising is
| ON nands ana knees makes all the muscles
pliable.
Costume-Ordinary house dress, without
| corsets; skirts clearing the floor and sleeves
| tucked up at the elbows.
Time-All the time, except when actually
fatigued.

in your daughters health shortly. am,
