Washington Letter.

The postofice appropriation bill

couple Of days consideration by
the committee. Rural free delrv-
cry carriers will be allowed a sal

Office for the benefit OF all the peo-
PIE.
Secretary Hitchcock has sent to
the Senate a communication giving
his reasons for issuing the now IA
nous old age disability order. Il
was carefully considered by the
President before being made pub
lie. The claim is that no new law
has been made, but only an old
one construed in order 10 provide
the Pension Bureau with a rule OF
action. The Secretary says the
order 'is clearly within executive
authority" He estimates Fhat the
additional annual cost 10 the Trea.

that the site is TOO costly. Many
Senators want the new public

southern side Of Pennsylvania av-

new Post Office is on this side
Of the avenue, and the new
Municipal building is TO be placed

cent 61.year age pension order Of

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
It and set the matter right.

the illness Of his child and was then
himself attacked by sickness.
When he was able to work aud ro-
ported for duty he was Informed
that there wins NO place for him.
Brother Han felt that he had been
unfairly dealt with and upon inves-
tigation It appeared that merit OF
service is not the feature necessary
to hold positions in the Institution.
and we nave been informed that "a
similar condition exists In other in
situations OF the state.
The officials are in the habit Of
calling the minor employees up on
the carpet as the boys say, aud
telling them what is expected OF
them outside the discharge OF their
regular duties
Both men aud women ar assessed
certain sums OF money to pay cam
paign expenses,
IL was also discovered that several
years ago the wages OF all minor
employees were reduced in sums
sufficient TO make a total OF $500
per annum.
At that time the superintendent
was paid $500. the board OF his
family and the numerous pcrquisltes
attending the position.
The $3.50 taken from the minor
employees was added to the SALARY
Of the superintendent. aud ever
since, he has continued to draw

William K Vanderbilt; Jr first came into
public notice as an automobile enthusiast when
his machine stuck In the mud at Jamestown,
r. T., July 81, 1899.
Since then Mr.. Vanderbilt has become one Of
the most ardent automoblists in the country
If not the most ardent-not only taking an
active interest In the advancement of automo-
billing as a sport but making records for speed
that are likely to stand for little time.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was of the pioneers who
started the practice Of going to and from Long
Island in an automobile. In the early days of
such travel the effect the farmers horses
was marvellous Runaway followed runaway,
and there were minor accidents galore. Mr..
Vanderbilt also became victim of the early
automobile speed laws, and his name appears
time and again as figuring in speed arrests.
