ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD.
Superintendent White Endeavors to

Economy has been the watchword Of the
Post Office Department ever since the in
vestigations that landed some of the prtn-
cipals of the service within dangerous prox-
unity of the stripes and bars. AS conse-t
quence there has been a saving in several
divisions of the depar tmsnt. Every shOla,
where money could trickle away has been
watched by the chiefs, and whenever there
was found a leak 1t has been promptly
plugged and the saving diverted to other.
channels where it would do some good AS
an Illustration of this care which has been
given to the economic department or the
big postal business an order promulgated
by James e. White, general superintendent
of the railway mail service, may be quoted.
1t follows: a.
ut has been reported to this Office that in
many cases clerks are in the habit of Keep
ing lamps burning during the daytime. :
This is an unnecessary waste of oil; gas
or electricity, and is calculated to impair
the efficiency of the lamps. .-,
Division superintendent will take neces-
sary steps to see that all lamps are extin-
guished when not actually needed. &
James E. White. general superintend-

1t is not known at the department just
what sum has been wasted by the careless
clerks referred to in the order, but that the
sum Is considerable may be inferred from
the fact that the service covers every rail.

thousands of clerks employed in the cars

EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS
AM. e. CONFERENCE APPEALS TO
PRESIDENT FOR AID.
Ministers Also Ask Senate to Act In
mediately on Appointment Of
Collector Crum.

At the meeting this morning Of the Bal
timore conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church. In session in this city,
resolutions were adopted appealing to the
President of the United States for aid In
securing permission for an exhibit at the
st. Louis exposition by the negroes of the
country and requesting the Senate to con-
firm the Presidents appointment of DR..
William P. Crum as collector Of the port
of Charleston, S. G. ?
1t was stated in regard to the first Of the
two resolutions that there appeared to be
an organized effort to prevent the colored
people from participating in the exposition.
and that this might be overcome IL the
movement in favor of the project became
general all over the country. This resolu-
ton will be sent to the President, 1t is I'M
derstood, together with numerous others
adopted by various colored organizations.
1t is intended by the members Of the race
who are behind the movement to make the
exhibition representative of the work OF
the colored man in the arts and sciences.
and they regard this very opportune
time for such an exhibition because of the
prominence of the race question.
1.-THE eyes of the world are upon US, ana
we should be represented at the worlds
fair" was the sentiment expressed at the
meeting.
The Crum Appointment.
DR.. Oscar ]. w. Scott, pastor Of the Met
ropolitan A. NJ e. Church, in which the
sessions of the conference are being held.
introduced the Crum resolution. He called
attention to the fact that the appointment
of Crum had been sent to the Senate by
President Roosevelt nearly eighteen months
ago. and still no action had been taken on
it. His resolution was, like the other one.
passed unanimously by the ministers OF the
conference. A copy Is to be sent to the
Senate.
Dr. B. F. Watson of Philadelphia. who Is
at the head of the church extension work
of the A NJ. E. Church, spoke to the con-
ference shortly before noon today, -espe-
cially praising the work In the Baltimore
conference and the churches included by
1t for their children's work in aid of this
department of UNCONVENTIONAL effort.
The members of. the conference and their
wives went to the White House at noon to-
day and were received by the President.
Church Reports Received.
A large part of the session this morning
was devoted to the hearing of church re-
ports, all of which showed the denomina-
ton in the jurisdiction of this conference to
be in a good condition. -.
Bishop Lee, who had temporarily resigned
the Craftsmanship of the body, was again
in the chair today.
Three special meetings were held in the
Metropolitan A. NJ, E. Church yesterday
Bishop Lee preached an ordination sermon
in the morning, and in the afternoon he
conducted the ordination of James H.
Fitchett of Oxford, Nd, and Basil Brown
Of Walters Post Office, Md, as deacons. -
An elaborate song service was held In the
church in the evening. Members OF the
conference occupied a number of the local
pulpits yesterday.

Veterans in Conflict.

Ulysses Mann. veteran of the Spanish
War, and Perry Clark, colored veteran of
the civil war, were the principals in Po-
lice Court trial today, the former appear
ing as defendant and the latter as the COM
planning witness. Clark appeared In court
with his right eye covered by patch and
told Judge Kimball that Mann struck him
in the optic with his fist Saturday night.
The trouble was caused, he said, by the de-
PENDANT making uncomplimentary remarks
about veterans of the civil war. Mann
claimed that Clark spoke disrespectfuify of
the volunteers who participated in the
Spanish war and when he objected to that
line of talk the latter struck him. and he
only returhed the blow in self-defense.
Judge Kimbau failed to see that Clark
had started the trouble. A fine Of $40,
which was imposed on Mann, was paid.
