Think One of Their Countrymen
 Should Hand Out Mail.
 The Lithuanians of the Brooklyn district are complaining much of the manner in which their mail is deliv- cred. They claim that the clerks at the. postoffce do not read the names rightly and as a consequence the let ters are given to persons otherwise than those to whom they are addressed. This causes much annoyance, delay and often more serious trouble. The Lithuanians want this alleged defect at the postoffice to be remedled and the remedy they propose is that a clerk who knows how to read and write the Lithuanian. Polish and Slavish lan- guages as well as the English shall be appointed at the loca postoh1ce. Tn order to accomplish this remedy they have started petition which has al ready been widely circulated and nu- emrously signed. The petition is ad- dressed to Congressman George l.. Lil- ley, who is asked by "the undersigned voters and taxpayers of the third and fourth wards" to use his influence to- wards securing the appointment in the general delivery department at the post6ffice of clerk who can read an write the English, Lithuanian. Polish and Slavish languages. Many Lithu- anians secure their mail at the general delivery office because they change their boarding places so often.

Real Estate and Rents
O'HEILL'S BULLETIN.

As told you two months ago, when the real estate market was very quiet and prices were down, then was the time to buy. Some of you thought you knew more about 1t than did and said to yourself that you would wait and that prices were not going up. If you will take the trouble to go over and look at the town clerks new rec ords you will find that one of us was mistaken, and it was not I. A two family house on Central avenue is cheap at the price, $5,7O0, and if you intend to buy I advise you to get 1t now, because you will have to pay more for it later. This is not a rash statement in fact, none of my state ments are. Aside from the moral standpoint I find 1t a good business pol icy to confne myself strictly to the truth. Al

The Yellow Fever Parasite.

Washington Oct. 27.The most in
teresting feature of the day before the
laboratory section of the Public Health
association was controversy over the
supposed yellow fever parasite. which
was precipitated by a paper read by
DR. James Carroll Of the United States
Army Medical school on "The Etiology
of Yellow Fever" DR. Carroll claims
that one stage in the cycle Of develop
ment of the yellow fever parasite as
described by the commission sent to
Vera Cruz under the direction of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice more than year ago is not form
of animal parasite, but of a vegetable
nature and belongs to the group of
yeast DR.. Carroll also contends that
the other stages of the parasite de-
scribed by the commission are not to
be found in mosquitoes fed exclusively
on sugar and water. On this point DR..
Carroll was strongly supported by DR.,
John Guiteras Of Havana.

Announcement of this chafIge came

in the last week that Rear Admiral

Rear Admiral BowIes, whose family
is one of the most prominent in New
England, entered the Naval academy
as cadet engineer in 1875, and in
1879 he and his classmate, Richard

Mr. Bowles, then an assistant naval

one of the ships authorized in the ear

MORE POSTAL PROBING
Investigation Of New York Of
fee Ordered.
INQUIRY IN OTHER CITIES PLANNED

Following Close on the Postmaster
Generals Recent Overhauilng, the
Announcement Causes a Sensation.
Wholesale DismissaIs Are Predicted.
Washington, Oct. 81. President
Roosevelt has added a new sensation to
the post Office scandal by taking upon
himself the responsibility of ordering a
new Investigation of the New York
post Office The inquiry he said, must
be complete and go from Postmaster
Van Colts Office itself down through
every department.
This order, coming as it does after
the Office has already been investigated
by order of Postmaster General Payne,
has caused much speculation, and the
explanation frankly made is that the
president was not satisfied with the
former inquiry.
In is said in the Office of the postmas-
ter general that the new investigation
is but continuation of the old and
that Mr.. Bristow's inspectors were not
able to complete their work in New
York last summer because they were
needed in more important departments.
Methods to Be Investigated.
AT the same time it is known that the
new investigation will go over much of
the ground already covered, and partic-
ular attention will be paid to the pro-
motion syndicate in which Mr. Bea-
vers, it is said, was concerned and for
which Otto r. Weiss, a clerk in the
New York office, has already been dis
missed. The case of Richard Van Colt,
the postmaster's son, viii also be re-
viewed again
Alleged fragrant violations of the
civil service law will also come in for
thorough sitting in the new inyestiga-
ton, and the prediction is made that
wholesale dismissals, if not thorough
reorganization, may be the important
result This phase of the case, it is un-
derstood, has especially interested the
president.
In response to an inquiry Postmaster
General Payne announced that it had
been decided to investigate the New
York post office as the next chapter in
the work now going on in the post of
flee department. s'This is something
that we have had in mind for months,
said Mr.. Payne. You may remember
that I said last May we should take up
one post Office after another through
out the country and make clean cut
