LAUNDRIES WERE
CLOSED ALL DAY

A little rain did not dampen the ardor
nor spoil the fun of the 200 people who
went to Spanaway park yesterday, where
the Tacoma laundry workers held their
third annual picnic
The baseball game in the morning be
tween the Cascade laundry and the Ia
coma laundry teams proved as enjoyable
as professional game, and resulted in
a victory for the former by score of %
to 8.
During the afternoon the athletic games
brought the crowd to the baseball field
again. Winifred Wise won the race for
boys under years, with Willie Keller sec
onl. In the race for girls under years,
Elizabeth Matthews was first, with Maud
Marshall close behind.
The mems race, open to all but pro.
fessionals, was won by Tommie West, with
w. d. MacCallum a good second.
There We're twelve ladies lined up for
the next event, which proved the most
exciting race of the day, and was won
by Miss Margaret Hawes with Mrs Fogel-
burg second.
b. u. Folmer was first and Charles
Sherman second in ,ne fat mems race. In
the fat women's race Mrs Kate Hackett
easily defeated her four lighter opponents,
and the second prize went to Mrs. Bertha
Young.
The boat race was declared off because
of the rain, and in its stead an old mems
race was run, with G. F. Zirbel first
and w. II. Beeston second.
A most exciting event was the donkey
race. which was won by j. Woods.
Dancing was the principal diversion at
night, and prize cakewalll and prize
waltz added zest to the entertainment.
1t was happy but weary crowd that
came home at late hour last night, hav-
ing enjoyed the most successful picnic
that the Laundry Drivers association of
Tacoma has ever given.

THEY FOILED BRISTOW.
Rural Free Carriers Show That They
Have Votes.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Owing to the
strong political pressure brought to
bear upon the administration by the
army of rural free carriers throughout
the country, the new system devised
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow for placing the salaries
of carriers upon an equitable basis has
been partially abandoned.
Congress at it's last session appro-
priated $2O,1SO,O0O for the pay of ru-
raj carriers and provided that after
July 1. 1904. letter carriers of the
rural free, delivery service shall re-
ceive a salary of not exceeding $720
a year.
1t was Mr.. Bristow's plan to make
the maximum salary of rural carrier
$720 a year, as provided by the law, and
graduate compensation according to
the length and character of rural
routes. This system is approved by all
the high officers of the department ;ts
being the only equitable method of sal
airy adjustment. AS soon as the details
of the system became known, however,
the department was flooded with pro-
tosts from rural carriers all over the
country, and the situation finally be-
came so serious from political point
of view that Mr.. BriStow's plans were
modified to some extent-presumably
by order of President Roosevelt.
The rural carriers of New York state
were particularly active in protesting
to the department against the now or
der of things, and threatening political
revenge if the obnoxious system were
put into effect.
Under the modified plans all rural
carriers on the rolls prior to July 1.
1904. will get the maximum salary of
$720 provided by congress, while only
those carriers appointed subsequent TO
July l. 1904, will be subjected to Mr..
BristoW's plan of graduated adjust
ment. AS the number of carriers to be
appointed in the near future, is very
small compared with the thousands of
carriers already on the rolls, it is evil
dent that the rural carriers have won a
substantial victory by their protests
and threats

OFFERED A QUARTER.
To the Man Who Returned $500 She
Had Lost.

New York, Aug. edwin z. Brophy,
a conductor on the Seagate and Man
haitian Beach line. Coney Island, has
returned to its owner a pouch contain
ing $1,000. The owner, a we'll dressed
woman, attempted to reward his hon
esty by Offering him a silver quarter.
Brophy, who is a graduate of Genese
Normal school, is ambitious to become
a physician and for three years by
working as a conductor summers and
at odd jobs during the winter has sue
ceeded in paying his tuition and ex
penses at the Baltimore University of
Medicine. He has one more year to
study before getting his degree.
Shortly after the passenger had left
Brophys car at the Seagate terminal
Brophy picked up the purse in which he
found fifteen neatly folded one hundred
dollar bills. When the superintendent
of the company boarded his car Brophy
at once told him of his find.
Before the car had started back a
smartIy dressed woman boarded the
car. crying that she had lost her money.
When she described the pouch and it's
contents Brophy al once turned it over
to her.
Profuse in her thanks, she opened a
well filled pocketbook and, picking out
a quarter. offered it to Brophy. At
Brophy's refusal to take it she became
indignant and laid the coin on a seat
as she left the car.
