"U. S. MAIL"

| Neither do the drivers of the wagons
Any man in his shirt sleeves, bearing
no sign about him that he is driving
wagon for Uncle Sam, may claim
that he is mail driver.
And this caused trouble yesterday.
An express wagon trundIed down on
the naval dock when the Dix came in
from Nagasaki. 1t was just an ex-
press wagon and a driver such as one
ordinarily sees perched on the seat. A
customs inspector stopped the man.
The driver SAID he was the ~. s.
Mali man.
Il don't see any sign on your wagon
or on your person that YOU are said
the customs man. Get g T.. S. Mail
sign or a cap and then you'll be all
right"
The wagon driver went away and
came back with his credentials properly
displayed
There is one thing which people in
general kick about in the transporta-
ton of the mails. When dray or ex-
press is filled with mail bags from
steamship, wagon assistants jump on
office. This three or four hundred
pounds of live weight on top of mail
does not tend to have it reach the post
office in good shape. Frequently much
of the bag contents is considerably out
of shape on receipt by addresses.
Imagine a photograph coming from
the coast through the mail. Suppose
the picture is standing upright in the
agine a hundred and fifty pound man
Pumping himself on top of the heap,
and it is easy to conjure up the APP
pearance of the photograph on receipt
by the addressee.
Almost every city in the Union is
supplied with closed mail wagons which
do not permit of a helper climbing in
and riding on the top of the bags.

MAIL WAGON DRIVERS

What has become of the regulation
United States mail wagons Honolulu
was to have a long time ago?
Shortly after annexation the postof-

kind of mail wagons to carry the mail
sacks to and from steamers and depots
Honolulu is quite up to date in its
postal service with the one exception
of the manner in which its mails are
carried through the streets. Drays and
express wagons or any old kind of
wagons are used, and none bear the
familiar legend:

ANGRY VOICES.
Later a Mans Lifeless Body
 Was Found at Foot of Cliff.

Paterson, N. J.. March 17.-After a quarrel on the top of cliff 12j feet high on the outskirts of this city, in which the voices of a man and woman were heard in angry tones. the lifeless body of John Bennett. an insurance agent. was found at the foot of tb. cliff early to-day. His skull was frac- tured, his left arm broken and there was deep cut over one eye. Whether he was thrown over the verge of the cliff or fell by accident is unknown. but the county and city authorities are searching for an unknown woman whose voice was heard in argument with man only little while before the body was found.
 The quarrel took place before day light and the voices of the parties to 1t were heard by the watchman of the Passa1c water works. whose station was near the top of the cliff. though the watchman could distinguish noth- ing that was said.
 There seemed to be several in the party. The watchman paid no further attention to the affair until his doa became uneasy and led him to the body which was lying at the base of the cliff.
 Bennett was last seen by his wife yesterday afternoon, when she re- proved him for drinking.

 Seymour High School.

Ansonia, Mar 17-Because they would not remove large green ribbons which they were wearing in celebra- ton of St Patrick's day, three school children were dismissed for the lavish mour High school to-day, by Principal W.

Mir Parker ex- plained the matter by stating that the cildren were dismissed for the lavish display of the color and that the dis cipilne of the whole school was placed i'll jeopardy. Other children were per, mitted to wear emblems of a less ob, Jectionable character and that the children sent home were given the al. formative of removing the lavishly displayed ribbon or of absentinc themselves from the school room.

Three weeks ago, according to her story, her father, mother and three younger children were dispossessed. Their furniture was thrown out on the sidewalk, and while her father sought shelter for them, her mother and the children guarded their belongings. While waiting for the father to return, it became cold, she said, and she went into doorway for shelter. When she looked out again her mother and the other children were gone. She could not find them and has been sleeping in railways and half starving ever since. She was sent to the Children's society and an effort will be made to locate the family.

 From the Morkrooms of the Interna- tonal Tailoring Co and of Fred Kauf- man the young women marched through crowds of ieering strikers without f1inching. Behind them were the men employees.
 After it was thought the disturb ances were ended plate glass windows valued at $500 in the offices of Lamn X Co were shattered by strikers, who sought revenge for the arrest of riot ing pickets an hour earlier, after a non union worker and watchman en- ployed by the firm had been beaten se- verely. Bottles and cobble stones were hurled through the windows and much damage was caused in the interior of the place. The police assert the bottles contained acids intended to destroy clothing material.

 JAPAN AND THE PHILIPPINES. es Washington, March 17.-kogoro Ia kahira, the Japanese minister, replying to. q published statement by western congressman asserting that the Japan ,ese are planning to insist on the pos session of the Philippines as soon as convenient after the conclusion of the war with Russia, declared in an inter- view with Post reporter that such was not the case. He added:
 1.-The. possession of the islands by the United States is beneficial to Ja- pan and its people. The United States has given an object lesson to the ori- ent of more efficient civilization. We are trying to do our best to teach the Koreans. as well as. the Chinese, and we are aided by what has been done by the United States in proving the benefits of the people of the progress. It is true that the advent of the Unit ed States as the controlling power in the rich possessions of the Philippines is matter of close interest to Japan. Before 1898 there was little inter- course and trade between the two groups of islands, but since the Ameri- can occupation it is a notable fact that both have increased considerably.
 My opinions regarding the relations which Japan should maintain with the Philippines is very simple-that they should be good neighbors, whose con- merce will steadily develop and whose social and political conditions will be progressive and peaceful. Japan has never had any intention of taking ad- vantage of her neighbors or to seek for territorial aggrandizement, but the sincere desire of her government is to have all neighboring countries realize that mutual interests can best De pro- noted by the maintenance of peace and the strengthening of the tie of in terilependence. do not mean by this that race coalition should be formed hostile to the interests of other co,1i- tries, such as has been typif1ed in the expression yellow peril Japan wish es other nations to be peaceful and prosperous so that she may be also.'
