AT THE PosToFFIcE RuILpINc.
Some Things Congressman BurIeiqf
Has Done for it and the Service.

Have you any information as to the
time when work will be begun on the
addition to the building" was asked
of Postmaster Lane yesterday, who,
by the way, enjoys whatever satisfac-
ton there may be in the not altogether
easy position of custodian without a
salary, as is customary with Augustus
pOStmaSterS.
appeared in the Journal. The prep
aration of the plans is waiting on the
settlement of location, which is pro-
vided for in the bill introduced by
Congressman Burleigh and rushed
through by him the past session.
Doubtless as soon as the secretary of
the treasury, in whose hands the mat
ter of location is left by this bill de-
termines it the plans will be begun,
the preparation of which will prob
ably take two or three months. When
one considers all the features of the
case it, is remarkable what has been
done by Mr.. Burleigh in the matter of
location as we'll as in that of appro-
priation. 1t simply means that he has
spared no effort and every effort has
been effectual. Meanwhile, l learn
from the mail this morning, that he
has found time to take up with the
department the subject of additional
clerk hire and salaries; also the re-
quest for an additional allowance for
the free delivery service at this office.
Perhaps you are not aware that this
service in Augusta is surpassed in no
city of it's size in the country and is
said to be equalled by few. There has,
however, long been a demand for a
team delivery of the publishers large
mail and a night collection by team
For several years one of the custodian
force, has delivered the publishers
mail with his own team, which is con-
trary to regulations and only permit
ted by the department as a matter of
necessity. l believe Mr. Burleigh will
be able to secure an allowance which
will provide for having this done by
regular carrier, who may also deliver
registered mail at the same time. AS
regards clerk hire and salaries, it is
doubtful if much increase is obtained
this year, though unquestionably the
clerks will get all it is possible to Sc
cure. You may remember that last
year. through Congressman Burleigh's
efforts, an increase in the salaries of
the postoffice clerks here amounting to
$500 was obtained, an increase alto
gether unprecedented, and which raised
the average salary of the Augusta
clerks 500, consequently we cannot
expect another raise in the average this
year."
One of the benefits to be derived, it
is hoped, from the new addition to the
government building will be such re-
pairs, as are calculated to render the
sub basement water tight. Probably
these will include an extra coating of
concrete on the floor and repairs to the
walls through both of which more or
less water seeps under the high pres
sure of flood; also new iron bulk
heads and it is hoped practical pump
to pump out such water as may leak
in. Janitor Pedder and his assistants
worked under disadvantages Tuesday
night and Wednesday, trying to make
tight the old bulkheads, some of which

The members of the Augusta fire de-
partment held their annual convention
at the City building, Thursday evening.
The meeting was called to order by
Chief Engineer Kicker, who made few
appropriate remarks, and thanked the
boys for the support which they had
given him for the past year. After the
conclusion of his words, he, with the
two assistant engineers, retired. and
the convention went into session, with
Henry c. Thing as chairman, and it
was voted that they should recon-
mend that c. w. Kicker should serve as
chief engineer, with Elbridge Pedder as
first assistant and E. A. Gay as second.
During the meeting some very feeling
remarks were made by Everett Shaw
of Atlantic Hose 2. Mr.. Shaw mas
been a member of the department q
years, and is one of the veterans.

THAT THE FOOD Is DIGEST.
Ed IS ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vin0l as an
Appetite Creator.
We GUARANTEE THAT VINOL
WILL AID DIGESTION

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
tits because Vinol acts so beneficially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
SO much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
"This is to certify that have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. I have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. Mrs. ELIz-
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our VinoI. how It
cures and what II cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder We
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon US; and
we want all to bear In mind that we
will gladly refund to any one who is
not satisfied with the action OF Vinol
every cent they pay for It.

The most important matter presented
in the House. yesterday, was the bill
creating the Augusta water district
This dill was presented by Gannett of
Augusta. and referred to the judiciary
committee. The full text of the bill
will be published in the Journal, Sat-
urday morning.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
the right of the Legislature to take
jurisdiction of this bill. because the
statute notice of IA days prior to the
opening Of the Legislature had not
been given to interested parties. But
this doubt. II is said, is dispelled by the
fact that the court ruled, many years
ago. that one Legislature cannot pre-
scribe a course of procedure which an
other Legislature is obliged to follow
Only the constitution governs legisla-
tive action. Besides. 1t is understood
that this provision has already been
waived the present session by the ju'
dietary committee.
