HE is GROWING RICH
The Postmaster at Esopus Is Working
Bonanza.

Esopus, N. Y, July 25.-Norman Cole,
postmaster of Esopus, is a happy man
these days. His face is wreathed in
smiles and the merry jingles of much
coin issues from his prosperous pockets
Favored by the fortune that has
brought this once humble village into
sudden renown, Mr.. Cole is growing
wealthy from the volume of correspon-
dence which has, to all intents and
purposes, raised mis- fourth class place
to first class Importance.
Mr.. Coles income, as is the case with
all fourth class postmasters, depends
entirely on fees, and is therefore reg
ulated by the amount of business. Time
was when he would complain of the
mea gerness of the receipts, but now he
would not accept salary if t. e gov
ernment offered him one, which is not
unlikely If the business continues as il
has been since the Democratic conven-
ton.
Before that the income of the post
office was something like $50 month
One day last week the business was
$11.50, banner figures for Esopus. and
for two weeks Judge Parker's stamp
bill alone was SIS. Cole calls this "ex-
citing" but he is joyous and the situa-
tion has not yet caused any harmful
effect upon his nervous system.
He is not the only person who has
profited, either. Cole has boy assist
ant who has been trying whole year
to get an increas in salary. He wore
knee trousers, and in the interval Of
his postoffice work picked berries. To
help out his curls he has taken to long
pants like a Simon pure government
official.
''Mr Cole don't care nothin' about the
postoffice" remarked this dignitary.
Hes runnin' it just SOS to gimme a
good job"
of course, the chief business of the
postoffice is in stamps. Apparently ev-
erybody in the world IS writing to Judge
Parker, and he replies to as many as
he can. Until this excitement began
the daily sale of stamps was about IS
cents, and occasionally it would jump
to 81 when the few summer residents
appeared and as many as 80 letters n
day would be mailed.
Those were the days when the arrival
and departure of mails was limited.
Now they have been increased to five a
day each way, and there will be six
when present plans are carried out. AS
the poStmaster'S fees are payable ac-
cording to the number of stamps can
celed, Coles satisfaction may be un-
derStood.
There never was much money in the
business before he said, with a twink
ling eve today. I've been going over
the records and find that the average
for months was about $33 month. I
hope we always have a presidential
nominee here-it pays. Even you news
paper fellows abe to write letters and
so do all the strangers that come up
here to see the judge. We're dofn' bet
ter than ever before and expect
things'n get buster yet before election
time comes along.
Mr.. Cole is one of the venerable citi-
zens of this place and during the seven
years of his incumbency of the post
mastership, until this extraordinary
condition of affairs arose, he thought
more of his farm than of Uncle Sans
service, but he is all for Uncle Sam
now

they have had but I know Mr.. Croker

YOUTHFUL BANDITS.
Chicago Has Another Gang on Her
Hands.

Chicago, July 25-Emulators of the
exploits of the car barn bandits, four
youths arrested yesterday, confessed
robbing a score of others at different
times. The murder was that of John
Lane, stage carpenter of the Illinois
theater, who was shot in an attempt to
hold up Gustav RiegePs saloon on the
morning of July 4. The proprietor also
was shot. The prisoners are Peter Dull
fer, James and William Farmby and
David Kelly. All declare they are less
than 20 years old.
The robbing of a freight car of the

Fairfield, ILL.,, last week, led to the ar
rest of the quartette. Besides the
freight car robbery, the young bandits
confessed to many robberies prior to
July 4,most of which were saloons The
police believe the young men have not
confessed to all their crimes and ex-
pect at least two other murders will be
admitted by them.

WORST EVER KNOWN.
One Of the Most Determined Con-

Trouble Is Over a Red uction Of
IL l-2 Per Cent in Wages.

Fall River, Mass. July 25.-The strike
order issued by the Fall River textile
council calling for upwards of $4,000 OPP
eratives to remain away from the mills
today in protest against a reduction OF
121s per cent in wages, became effec-

general as the labor leaders had pre-
dicted.
Practically every one of the 81 mills
involved shut down. There was no dis
order.
Both sides admit this is the Begin
ming of one of the most determined
contests which Fall River has ever
seen. The manufacturers maintain they
were compelled to reduce wages to
save their business while the operatives
say conditions affecting cotton manu-
facture here, did not warrant such a
reduction,
