Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent, }

Washington, d. c., June %. 1908.
The publication of the reply of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen>
eral Bristow to the Tulloch charges
has been followed by the vocifer-
ferrous demand, voiced on every side,
for the resignation of General Post
Master Paine. The Tulloch charges
and the Bristow reply, at least the
inspectors report which accompanies
that reply, all referred to conditions
existing prior to the administration
of General Postmaster Payne and he
cannot be held responsible for those
conditions, but in his statement ac-
companying the Bristow reply, Mr..
Payne was so unfortunate as to say,
The charge of MIR. Tulloch is in its
essence a charge against President
Mckinley and Post master General
Smith" Your correspondent has
been assured by the Postmaster
General that these words were in
tended to explain his reluctance in
making public the Bristow reply,
which, by the way, sustains the Tul'
loch charges in every detail, but the
public and particularly the repcbli
can press have constructed Payne's
statement to be defense of himself,
ard in some instances, it is regarded
as an attempt to besmirch the mem
ory Of Mckinley out of revenge for
the fact that President Mckinley
refused to listen to Senator Hanna
insistcnt demand that he appoint
Payne Postmaster General. This
, last assumption is undoubtedly g
gross injustice to the Postmaster
, General. nevertheless it has placed
the President in very trying posi-

tain that he will be able to resist th'

Curious happenings

the destruction on this river I have
wondered if those curious things

realize what damage the raging
water did on its way. The hill sides
which caught the pressure of the
current are washed to the hard clay.
The flats which the water had a
check settled an eighth Of an inch
or more. The damage is all along
it's way.

is somewhat dangerous as, the mud is
something like 4 to S feet deep. 1t

ABOUT $500 WERE
GIVEN TO CHARITY
Day Considered a Very Sue
ceSsfuI One.
BY THOSE INTERESTED
Work Closed at Six in the
Evening.

Charity Day has come and gone again
and the ladies in whose charge the work
was carried on. report that about 500
were taken up, all told. This is not
quite so much as has been collected on
former days. but the ladies are well pleas
ed with the success of the day.
The bulk of the $500 was made in sell
ing the badges on the street, although
those who were given territory in the
stores did almost as well. No one was
asked to purchase who had once bought
and by noon there were few people on the
streets who had not donated to sweet
charity" but who had one of the little
white badges flying from the lapel of his
coat
Nobody insisted on anyone buying who
did not feel disposed although the total
sum collected was not much less than
that of former years.
The average price paid for the badges
was ten cents, although many gave 25
and 80 cents and some as high as a dol
lar. The minimum was five cents. Each
was at liberty to give any sum he desired
in exchange for the badges.
The work was finished by o'clock in
the evening and contrary TO other years,
there were few badges sold after that
hour. Those who participated in the work
were well worn and tired out by night
fall. so that all left for their homes.
