NEW YORK POSTAL MATTERS.
Postmaster Van Cott Confers With Mr..
Wynne at the Department.

Postmaster Van Colt of New York city
was at the Post Office Department today
and conferred with Acting Postmaster Gen.
eral Wynne about the New York postal
matters. He discussed the policy of al
lowing regular letter carriers to serve OUT
side of their own hours as substitutes. He
was informed that such practice would
not be permitted, 1t being contrary to the
rules laid down in the postal laws and reg
ulations and an injustice to many substi-
tute carriers. whose whole source of reve-
nue. was dependent upon the work they Sc
cured from the operation of this regulation.

SWAYNE INVESTIGATION.
Senator Hoar's Resolution Causes Sem
atorial Discussion.

Senator Hoar's resolution introduced into
the Senate late yesterday afternoon provid-
ing for an amendment of the rule of the
Senate which would permit testimony in
the case of the Impeachment of Judge
Swayne to be taken by a committee of
nine senators is calling forth considerable
discussion among members of the Senate
1t Is practically assured that no such
resolution can be adopted by the Senate
without considerable debate. Impeachment
cases are SO unusual and it has been SO
long since such case was before the Sen
ate that senators generally prefer not to go
on record as to their views as to the prac-
ticabtlfty of Senator Hoar's resolution until
they have had an opportunity to look up
the matter and more thoroughly inform
themselves.

Operations Of Forest Reserve Law.
Mr.. Clark criticised the operation Of the

When Rev. Charles w. Gordon of Winni-
peg. Manitoba. wrote short story for a
Toronto weekly, in order to voice his pro-
test against the cutting off of certain
church appropriations for missionary work
in the western Canadian mining camps, he
had no idea that he was starting on a
career of letters bringing him a vastly
wider fame than he could ever hope to
gain from his church activities. Since that
story was written many more have come
from his pen, telling in various ways of the
life in the northwest, and especially the
struggles of the churchmen there against
adverse elements, both climatic and hui
man. In this novel, 1.-THE Prospector,' he
tells the tale of a young Scotchman who,

The wild turmoil Of our seething revolu-
ton has been iced to frigidity, even dulled
to stupidity, by conventional chronicles OF
bare facts. At popular demand historical
fiction has softened false impressions by
showing some of the hot atmosphere of the
times about few events of great interest,
but the really dramatic has only just be-
gun to be breathed into accounts Of the
stupendous dramas enacted by our fore
fathers. A few unsigned articles in the
Youths Companion first attracted atten-
ton to Miss Cleveland as portrayer of
the dramatic in history. The late Daniel
Ford said of them: Fresh, vigorous, dra-
matte and picturesque" These words most
aptly describe her ripper work in this book.
1t is a book for every library, book for
adults and book for the young. Perhaps
no other book yet written sets the great

WARTIME RELIC.
A Telegraph Instrument With an In
teresting History.

An effort is being made by several old
time telegraphers to have added to the in
teresting exhibits in the National Museum
| a genuine curiosity and relic of the stirring
war times in the vicinity of Washington in
| the sixties. The relic in question is the
original old Morse register" one of the
first of the telegraph instruments, which
was used at Manassas, Va, by the confed-
crate army officials to transmit the news OF
the first battle of Manassas. or first Bull
Run, as it is called i'm the north, to the
confederate capital at Richmond. The ven
cradle instrument was similarly used for
reporting the second battle of Bull Run.
Speaking of the register" Mr.. David l.
Warren said 1t was the property of Mr.. Il.
C. r. HUMPHREYS OF Pittsburg, Pa, whose
father was a confederate soldier and was
with Pickett when he made the gallant and
desperate charge at Gettysburg. The odd
looking old instrument was first used at
the Manassas Wa) station on the Orange,
Alexandria and Manassas railroad. in 1S45.
Il remained there, and was the first instru-
ment to send the news of the first battle OF
the civil war to the anxious officials of the
confederacy at Richmond.
1T was there" said Mr.. Warren, that
the old register received its first baptism OF
fire. 1t afterward fell into the hands of the
Union forces and rendered good service for
Uncle Sam and his boys In blue"

THE LAUREL TOKEN; a Story of the Yamassee
Uprising. By Annie NJ. Barnes author Of Lit
Picknel Boston: Lee & Shepard. Washing
ton: c. c. Purcell.
This is story for young people of either
sex, for although the leading character is
a girl of eighteen. her cousins, two boys of
sixteen and fourteen, respectively, are
prominent throughout the story. The events
move with great rapidity and with great
fidelity to history, not only in its broader
view, but especially so in all matters of
daily life, costume, speech and the stirring
spirit of colonial times, making the book as
valuable for its picture of the times as 1t
is wholesome from the marked power of the
author to make nobility of thought and &C
ton attract The story centers about
beautiful girl, left an orphan. as Is sup
posed. in Barbados, who goes to live with
her uncle, leading man in the fourishing
Goose Creek colony, in the year of the
Indian uprising, IVA. The very real dan
ger from the red men. who have been re-
garded as friendly, but have been the vic
tins of selfishness and thus made ready
tools for the crafty Spanish having their
headquarters at st. Augustine. forms the
background to the story and gives oppor-
tunity for the surprising developments
which occur respecting the heroine and 9TH
ers. The illustrations by Mr.. Picknell are
accurate in their composition, besides being
finely executed.

Co. Washington: William Ballantyne Sons
The four girls who go to housekeeping
In "Dandelion Cottage" are of kind that
every young reader will recognize. They
take the cottage lark, but have to be
practical in their management of it. Their
worries about rent and supplies furnish a
good part of the fun, which is always
wholesome. At the end of the summer they
return to their proper places, feeling that
they have had an Incompatible outing.
They have also had an experience certain
to be of use to them later. Mrs. Rankin
has told the story delightfully."- and has in a
striking manner, though never thrusting
her point upon her young reader, taught
the lesson of self-reliance. Her short
stories have appeared in numerous period
icals. Her youthful readers will perhaps
appreciate why Mrs. Rankin has never
