jailed For Dunning On a Postal.

Because he sent a request for two
months salary on a postal card to
w. r. Power, a Cobb county School
Commissioner, J B. Lynch of Tren-
ton, N. J., teacher in a Cobb
county school, is in Jail, charged
with violating the postal law, which
prohibits the sending of a dun"
upon a postal card.
Lynch states that two month 9
salary was due him and that his
wife and children in Trenton, N. J.,
were in need of funds. He spent
his last cent for postal card, and,
ignorant of the law, sent a polite
request that the money be sent him
as soon as possible. He has written
to State School Commissioner Mer-
ritt explaining the circumstances
and asking the Commissioner to
use his influence to have the charge
dismissed.
In the meantime he is in Jail at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and unable O
make provision for his family in
Trenton.

Penalizing Graft in Private Life.

Graft in public life is the margin
which any one of influence or posi-
tion adds to what should be paid by
the public and pockets it.
Graft in private life is exactly
the same. 1t consists in the shave
which all sorts of agents, from the
purchasing agents of some great
railroads down to the maid of all
work in the house, collects eff the
purchases and supplies made for
the principal in the case.
When Lord Russell of Killoween,
attacked this evil in English life he
failed wholly to secure legislation.
but he gathered great flood of
evidence to show what was done in
this direction. He proved that solici-
tors gathered graft from the invest
ments which they made of the
estates in their hands by collecting
commission off the bonds bought.
Clergymen got graft from under
takers III whose way they threw
business. So did the physicians and
added commission from The apothe.
carries. Architects collected a shave
on all supplies which went into
building. Managing dire ectors
gathered their share off corporations
exactly as insurance directors in
the big New York companies have
done. AS for servants, from butler
to scullery maid, all of them were
in English houses gathering their
share.
The insurance investigations of
New York show how widely
diffused is this practice in this
country. English experience could
be matched point by point. Such
graft is undoubtedly here as in
England, where the Court of Ap-
peals has passed on the question,
illegal. Lord Russell of Killoween
failed to secure legislation in Eng
land on the subject, his bill passing
the Lords and failing in the Com
mons but it is direct result of his
efforts that the New York Legisla-
ture has passed all act making any
secret gift, gratuity or commission
paid to an agent selling or pur-
chasing any article a penal offense,
be the graft taken by the agent of
a billion dollar insurance company
or by a servant buying the family
marketing.
AS this sweeping law comes to
be enforced it will be amazing how
much private graft will be found to
be criminal which now passes as a
custom of trade, from the split COM
missions of an insurance agent
down to the "divide" with servants
at the grocery. PHiLa. Press.

that we were being rather roughly
handled. This was repeated again and
again until we rode as close to the
shore as the tug could take US; then
the line was cut a rope from shore
given US, and, with the aid of steam
windlass we were landed upon the
sand. A gangplank was pushed out
over the intervening watery space, af-
ter crossing which, and climbing up a
few steps, we stood on the dock.
An old man in the crowd, which had
gathered to see us come in, after sur
veying the party critically, exclaimed:
Jerusalem crickets - what a crowd!
Everybody is in, from Dan to Beer
sheba!"
After many discouraging experiences
in house-hunting we decided on our
present abode-on Second avenue, half

church and st. Bernard library; ditto

We were ali crowding and pus hing
in the direction of the lighter by which
we hoped to be landed on the docks at
Nome two miles away. There were
boxes, grips, trunks, army sacks, steam
er chairs, babies, dogs, parrots, and
while not the band-wagoD, the next
thing to it-violins and guitars.
The lighter was brought close along
side the ship and the ladder lowered,
but it did not reach the lighter by sew
eral feet, except when big wave came
bounding up, which washed over the
lower steps OF the ladder. When we
reached the last step we were told to
"jump," which we did, landing in the
arms of big Swede, who handled us
as though he had been accustomed to
that sort of thing all his life.
The first to go down was the "Per-
sian Lady"-so named by the passen-
gers, 1t was rumored that she drank
hair-restorer: for, until we landed, she
wore on her head continuously white
Persian shawl, supposedly to hide her
badness; but, behold this morning
she came forth with a brown wig as
large as an ordinary water pail.
Then came the Amazon" with her
white shoes, followed by Mother OLE
son, the "enemy of the Irish;' and so
on, until all had descended.
I learned while watching the others
20 down that to snake haste slowly"
was good rule to follow in the pres

der would be likely to send one into
the gulf of boiling waters between the
ships side and the lighter, which was
literally dancing attendance upon the
vessel in the rough sea.

Finally everything was ready. Ev-

was crowded, passengers sitting where
ever they could find a box, bag or
trunk upon which to sit. I was fortu-
nate enough to have a steamer chair
which we brought from Seattle. The
tueboat "Sawtooth" made fast to the
lighter; we said goodbye to the "Ohio"

all that time has never seen a fiye-dol-
lar gold piece A clerk. who had re-
ceived one Of these golden coins as part
of his pay, entered the saloon which is
presided over by the German and called
for a glass of beer. Upon receiving the
foaming beverage he rendered in pay
ment the glistening fve-dollar coin,
which hit the bar with a merry jingle.
The bartender, after surveying the piece
and examining it critically, tossed It
back TO the government clerk with the
childlike and bland remark:
