LOST COINS IN THE MAIL.

to Postal Clerks.

They Cause Much Trouble and Worry
to Postal Clerks.
Ordinarily no man is rich enough
to escape that certain sense Of elation
which comes from picking up a nickel
on a sidewalk, but when a railway
postal clerk finds such a coin in a
mail pouch where it has worked out
from insufficient wrappings not only
does he miss this elation, but it may
provoke profanity.
For a nickel lost in pouch OF mail
in transit becomes matter for ma
tional concern. 1t comes to view per-
haps just as a pouch of mail is emp
tied upon a sorting table, and when
it has broken away from the bunch Of
letters and cards and circulars, roll
ed to an open space on the table and
there settled down, heads or tails, with
a noisy spinning dance, the clerk who
first sees it is cit"
A necromancer could have no more
idea than the man in the moon as to
what particular package it rolled out
of, and If he had and should tell the
postal clerk the clerk wouldn't dare
try to restore the coin to the original
package. That would be too easy al
together.
No, it is a lost nickel from the mo-
ment the clerk has to see it spinning
there before his eyes. and according to
the tender governmental conscience the
clerk has to get ready for the inau-
guration of about $1S.43 worth of fuss
over it.
For himself he doesn't dare to go to
bed for short nap until he has got
rid of his cents worth Of RESPONSE
bility to the government for the ac-
ton Of the fool person from whom the
nickel was parted. He digs up his
printed form for such occasions print
ed and provided and at once fills out
a long blank, describing the coin, tell
ing the circumstances of its being
found and whether it landed heads or
tails on the table, naming the pouch
from which it was emptied, the num-
Der of the train carrying it. the date
and few other details.
This report, with the nickel, goes to
the headquarters of the postal division
in which the car was operated, and
from these bonded officials, by the
same general red tape route, the small
coin finds its way to the seat Of ma
tional government and to the fund rep
resenting the great constituency Of the
postoffice department, which persists
in sending money in envelopes through
the unregistered mails of the service

WORKING A FRAUD.
! Typical Swind1ing Scheme MS Car
ried ON Through the Mails.

1 Typical Svind1ing Scheme as Car
ried on Through the Mails.
One of the most typical of the frauds
carried out through the mails was one
wherein the receiver of the circular
was told that he was entitled to a
prize which he had won from maya
zine called the Mississippi Valley
Planter, published by the Mississippi
Valley Publishing company.
The real kernel was the statement
that the recipient of the circular was
entitled to a certain prize which would
be shipped on receipt Of the freight
charges. In nearly every case the adj
dressee had won premium No. Z, a
''horse and Lilly buggy and harness.
valued at $275." With equally remark
able uniformity the freight charges
were placed at $29.6O.
Never was a bubble blown with less
actual soap. There never had been
such concern as the Mississippi Val
ley Publishing company or such pub
LEGATION as the Mississippi Valley
Planter.
The fraud order intercepted 900 mon
ey orders and number of registered
letters. All these people, with the hun
dreds who had come before them, were
reaching out after valuable prizes
which they in the nature of things
must have known they had never
earned or even competed for. HE has
mistaken me for some one else. but
I'll take the horse and buggy just the
same" must have been the thought
which flashed through those 600 heads,
and it is an unpleasant commentary on
the wickedness of human nature. The
prime swindler simply makes victims
of men not unwilling to be his accom-
plices.-Leslie's Monthly Magazine.

Experiments With Locomotive
Tires.

The motive power department of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is making tests of boiling the
tires of the drive wheels on the pas
senger locomotives. The prelim-
mary trials have given satisfaction
and if the tests should prove sue
cessful the plan, it is expected, will
be generally adopted. For several
years the slipping of tires on the
locomotives has been the source of
much annoyance to the railroad men.
Frequently in applying the air
brakes to locomotive that is trav-
cling at high rate of speed the
tires become heated. This causes
them to expand and sometimes
they slip off the wheel. In some
eases tires break and in both cases
accidents might occur. Several
locomotives, now in the course of
construction, or undergoing repairs,
are having the tires bolted on. The
bolts are run through the tires and
are so ingeniously fitted in that they
are invisible on the surface. AL
lowance is made for expansion and
the motive power officials feel conf
dent that the bolts will prevent ac-
cidents from expansion.

Trolley Cars To Be Equipped With
Telephones.

In this era of electricity when in
ventions that at one time seemed
marvellous are looked upon as COM
monplace, people are not surprised,
greatly, at any announcement OF
further advancement along this
line, and consequently do not look
upon the fact that trolley cars are
to be equipped with telephones as
anything out of the ordinary, but
rather accept it as matter of
course. Systems of this nature are
being installed on the Lenape and
Kenneth branches of the West
Chester street railway.
There will be telephone boxes
placed at several intervals along
the road and each car will be equip
ped with telephone. Then the
telephone will be attached to a long
wire and plug at the end. The
latter can be inserted in the tele-
phone box at the stopping point
and the exact time of each car
obtained. Ifany accident occurs to
delay cars the conductors of other
cars will know what to do and thus
cause no delay.
IF the system now being Install
ed on the Kenneth branch is sue
cessful similar one will be put up
along the Downingtown and Coates
vile extension. The new system
on the Lenape branch will be in
working order this week.

DelaWare's Corruption Fund and
Senatorship.

The Delaware papers are authority for
the report that $I47,ooo was sent to Kent
and Sussex counties on the Saturday be-
fore the election. OF this $40, 900 is said
to have been contributed through the
efforts of men who are understood to have
been Regular Republicans heretofore;
$50, 900 is said to have come from outside
sources aud the remainder is understood
to have been the proceeds of large note
which was discounted in Philadelphia the
Saturday before election.
1t is upon the raising of this corruption
fund that the deal for the United States
Senatorship is said to have hinged, aud
the most interesting phase of the situa-
ton is the inevitable fact that. no matter
who is elected to the Senate, Alice and
Layton, who engineered the raising of
the money and held out this reward as a
bait, will be compelled to betray some
body. If the bargain with the Regulars
shall be carried out and Col. du Pont
elected, Addicks will necessarily be de-
throned; but on the other hand, if Ad-
dicks should be chosen after all, Col. du
Pont will be duped. From sentimental
viewpoint, Alice and Layton will stand by
Addicks; but if they see that he is at his
ropes end as far as funds are concerned,
they would tie to du Pont
1t is not improbable that whatever ul-
innate senatorial deal shall be fixed up it
will be predicated on Allee's election as
his own successor in 1907 and the reap
pointment OF Layton as secretary of state
by Governor Preston Lea, or the
stating of the latter for Congress two
years hence. Alice and Layton virtually
control the Kent and Sussex legislators,
and the situation is practically at their
disposal.
