a luxury. Dealers are paying Is cents

GEORGE L Adams, Funeral.

The Fitchburg, Mass, Daily News
contains an account of the funeral of
the late Georee l.. Adams, father of
George E. Adams, who died recently at
the home of his son in Darlington, N.
u. The funeral was held at Ashby,
Mass, the birthplace Of Mr. Adams.
The News says:
"The funeral Of George L. Adams
was held from the Unitarian vestry,
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Adams was
born in this town eighty years ago and,
with the exception Of the last six years,
passed with his son, George E. Adams,
in Iowa and North Dakota, has always
resided here.
REV. Mr. Shaw. his pastor and
friend of many years, spoke in part
from these words, Gathered to his peo-
Pile Another of our number has been
gathered to his people. While he
leaves sad hearts behind, he goes to
those who loved him. He was the last
one of his family-sisters and brother
went long ago to welcome him to the
higher life He lived to see and Know
much of life. for his life stretched out
over two generations. He lived to see
great changes of thought In religion,
better and more noble conception of
God. tenderer love Of man for man,
and more cheerful idea for the fu-
eture For never in history did men have
a more loving regard for our Heavenly
Father, and a greater confidence in
Immortality. than now.
We shall miss him as we think OF
him and the places where we met him.
He was kind father and grand
father and cordial friend. He was
very fond of children and did great
deal to make them happy, and he was
sympathetic toward sufferers. But 1t
will not be for long. for it will not be
many years when we, too. shall be
gathered to our people.
MIR. Shaw closed with reading the
beautiful poem. There is no death

Postoffice Never In Its History
Handled Such Volume of
Business as Now
AWAY AHEAD OF LAST YEAR
Up-to Date Office Has Handled Over
500 More Registered Packages Than
on Corresponding Date 1eo4-Extra
Hour Sunday and Monday-Express
Business Also Heavy.

Never before, in the history of the
ness been handled as is being cared for
at present. The force is working night
and day to avoid delays in transfer, and
to quickly dispose of incoming and
outgoing pouches, and today the office
has handled over five hundred
more registered packages than
on the corresponding date last
year. The number is gaining each day,
as the nearer Christmas the larger the
business grows.
Judging from the large volume of
early business done it would appear
that the public is becoming educated
into sending their holiday packages
before the eleventh hour, and thus
avoiding the last grand rush. This has
been advocated in the newspapers for
the past few years to greater extent
than ever before and the people are
realizing that the advice is good. The
registry business does not stand alone
in matter of volume, for all kinds of
mail matter is exceedingly heavy.
Extra Hour Sunday and Monday.
In order to better accommodate the
public Postmaster Saint has issued in
structions to have the office open one
hour longer on Sunday and Monday.
The usual Sunday and holiday hour is
from $50 to 1890, but on next Sun
day the office will open at $50 and
close at the usual time. A further ac-
commodation will be the opening of the
registry window on Sunday morning at
$3.50. The window will be open for
business during the entire period of
service. The same hours, $3.50 to To-:
30. will be observed on Christmas NOR
ming.
Express Business Larger Each Year.
Each succeeding year at Christmas
time, so the express men of the city
say. the volume of business both in
and out increases over the preceding
year. So far this year this rule holds
true and from the indications this
week expressmen are of the opinion
the present Christmas business will
far exceed in volume the same period
last year. The rush has been on for
several days, but the one reaeemlns
feature of it, according to the local
managers, is that the flood of packages
started fully two days earlier than
usual. This is accredited to the fact
that the public is being educated to
ship their packages earlier so that they
will be sure of delivery being made
before Christmas day. The same holds
true of the incoming business, and all
day today the drivers have been busy
delivering packages from their load
ed wagons The bulk of the packages
coming to this city will, not, however.
arrive until Saturday or Sunday, and
on both those days the forces of the
three companies will work day and
night to keep from being entirely
swamped Extra help has been Sc
cured by all of the companies to keep
up with the rush.

of the quarry foreman, the outside Of

OF this peculiar, but persevering young
man, the Chicago Record Herald pub
fishes the following special from its
New York correspondent:
Last August poung Carter arrived
in New York from Columbia, Mo. a
graduate OF the State University of
Missouri, where he had gone through
u four years course. During those
four years, and ever since he was 16
years old, he and poverty had been in
separable companions. At the univer-
sity he supported himself by doing all
kinds of odd Jobs.
Thrown upon his own resources by
the death of his parents when he was
l6, he became book agent in Mar
shalltown, Iowa, where he was born.
He earned enough selling books to en-
able him to live while a student In i,
local normal school and to pay his
preliminary expenses in the University
Of Missouri.
When he graduated from that in
stitution New York called to him. and
he made his way here.
Beyond liberal supply of good
health, determination and pluck, he ar
rived in this city with barely enough
to pay his matriculation fee at the law
school At first he took humble bed
room in a house at 10S West One Hun
ired and Sixth street, but falling to
get work he had to give this up. He
hunted in vain for a room at 81 a
week, which was all the expense he
dared to incur"

Lost = Mrs. Heitshu Will Assist In

II our talk about Haviland china ana

store, the loss will be yours for moth
ing like these goods was ever shown
here before. The choice decorations In
Haviland were selected by Mr.. Sinclair
especially for the Christmas trade and
the cut glass comprises odd pieces of
choice selections from the Quaker City
line which captured the grand prize at
the ST. Louis Exposition in competition
with the world. Nothing could be
more acceptable for Christmas gifts
than china with the name Haviland
stamped ON the back or a piece in cut
glass. Mrs. Heitshu will assist US Sat

A CHANGE.

Nothing Crude About Our China.
Years ago. Christmas buying was
limited to staple articles. The older
people are surprised when they visit
our store and contemplate the change
made in the manufacture of china. Now
they can buy the most beautiful crea-
ton for the same prices given for crude
manufacture Of years ago.
From the extensive sales made in
the few last weeks, we are made to
believe that our prices are right and
we have such good line to select from
that it will be to your advantage to
inspect 1t in the few days left ere we
celebrate Yuletide.
