In addition to the efficient assistance
rendered to the Post Office inspectors by
the Secret Service men, who track sus-
poets and aid in the arrests, the Depart
ment of Justice has issued intructions to
the United District Attorneys, wherever
raids or arrests are made, to render every
possible assistance to the representatives
of the other departments. The co-opera-
ton of the detectives of two departments
and the lawyers of third will, in the
estimation of the high officials, render
life unbearable for lottery agents in the
country and they are confident the evil
will be thoroughly eradicated within a
short time as result of the drastic course
now being pursued. Within the past few
days the Post Office Department has,
moreover, issued fraud orders against
agents of the German State Lottery and
the Hungarian Lottery, both of which
appear to have been doing thriving
business in the United States.

Another reform which Postmaster
General is setting on foot concerns politi-
cal activity by postmasters and other
employees of the Department. Although
the laws and the civil service regulations
strictly forbid pernicuous political activity
on the part of the federal employees,
postmasters in various sections have been
in the habit of writing to, the Postmaster
General or his assistants for special ruling
in the cases, hoping. of course, to secure
more lax construction OF the law than has
been general. Mr.. Cortelyou now pur-
poses to have prepared and sent to all
postal employees a circular of instructions
Oh this subject, clearly defining the ex-
tent to which they are entitled to engage
in politics and partisan undertakings.
Offensive partisanship will be compre-
hensively defined and it will be made
clear that no postmaster or similar en-
ployee can associate himself with any
committee or society the purpose of
which is the raising of campaign funds.
"There will be nothing particularly new
in the circular" said the Postmaster
General, to-day, "but it will be plain
enough to leave no ground for reasonable
doubt in the minds of those to whom it
is directed. The very best service a
postmaster can render bis party is to be
a good postmaster. Once circular is
issued it will constitute the only reply
sent to those who ask for further informa-
tion and those who violate its iniunctions
will do SO at their. peril. Their punish
ment will take the form of discipline,

Postmaster General Cortelyou has some
other reforms of importance in view but
as his plans are not yet formulated he
does not care to discuss them for publi-
cation at this time. Altogether, the ad-
minstration of the new Postmaster Gen.
eral even should it be brief, will doubtless
see much needed improvement in tile
postal service, especially if Congress is
willing to cooperate with him and to aid
by legislation iii. the needed improve
ments. There is some fear, however,
that Congressman will1be inclined to re-
sent the Postmaster Generals insistence
that his subordinates shall not take of
their coats to carry doubtful congress
ional districts and perform other similar
services.

Do not allow yourself to believe that
fortune has passed you by. The road she
travels is all endless circle. She reap.
pears again to the watchful and observant
eye. If she has passed your door to-day
and knocked while you were sleeping,
and you awoke to see her retreating form
down the roadway, do not despair and
say the opportunity of your life has gone.
Remember, it is only one opportunity.
Set yourself about your business, keep
busy, hopeful and expectant, and look for
the return trip of fortune. Do not expect
to see her in the same gown and bonnet.
She loves new apparel. She is woman,
and fond of new effects.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

POSTMASTER General Cortelyou las
inaugurated new regime in the
prosecution of frand in his Department,
if it continues to be conducted on its pres
ent lines, promises to prove "terror to
wrong doers." In fact, that is the Post
master Generals announced purpose.
TO begin with, the Postmaster General
issued instructions to the law division of
his Department to investigate every con-
! Germ on its face appeared to be conduct
ing fraudulent business as fast as they
conld be reached, without waiting, as
has been the custom with former admin
i>trations, for some person who had been
evicimised to file complaint. The re-
suit has been that larger number of
fraud orders have been issued during the
last month than in any previous month
in this history of the Department. With
the reorganization of the Post Office
Department the inspectors have been
placed under the direct supervision of
the Postmaster General, instead of being
in the Bureau of the Fourth Assistant, as
heretofore, and inspectors realize that
the personal notice OF Mr.. Cortelyou, so
there is every inventive to dc thorough
work. In time the Postmaster General
hopes to develope this good work to all
extent that will enable him to hold re-
spon.ible the inspectors or the officials OF
the Law Division when an apparently
Objectionable advertisement appears con-
tnuously for given period in the news
papers without its authors being inspect
ed by the postal authorities.
~
But Postmaster General Cortelyou has
not confined his energies to the issuance
of fraud orders against concerns doing dis
honest business lie has also instituted
crusade against persons conducting or
acting as agents fer lotteries. In this
work, in which the Post Office Depart
ment has, in the past, been hampered by
lack of cooperation from other Depart
ments, Mr. Cortelyou has enlisted the
sympathies and cooperation of the
Treasury Department and of the Depart
ment of Justice. Already raids have
been conducted and numerous arrests
made in Tacoma, San Francisco and in
Cleveland although no arrests were
affected in the last named city. Within
few days raids will be conducted in
eleven other cities where lotteries or their
agencies are fourishing, according to in
formation which has reached the Post
Office Department or the Secret Service
men. The men thus far arrested claim
that they represented the Mexican draw
ing, but the Secret Service men are of the
opinion that the concern has headquarters
in San Francisco. They claim that the
printing OF the alluring tickets took place
in that city.

RINGLING BROS EXCURSIONS

Special excursion rates on all lines of
travel have been arranged for by the
management of Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows, and those who
wish to go to Wilmington where this
great circus exhibitson Friday, May 10Th,
can do so at very little expense. This
will be the only point in this vicinity
where the show will exhibit this season,
and no one should miss the opportunity
to witness it. Ringing Brothers circus
has been the leading arenic of America
for years, but the show has never been
permitted to rest upon its reputation.
Although it long ago passed the point of
competition, every season sees a greater
and grander show. This years perfor-
nance is entirely new, and entails the
combined efforts of 375 wonderful artists in
the equestrian, gymnastic, equilibristic,
acrobatic and aerial line, together with
fifty famous clowns AMI hundreds of
lesser lights. Six hundred and fifty
horses are used and marvellous trained
animal department is presented. The
circus this season is greatly enlarged by
the spectacular production of The Field
of the Cloth of Gold, pantomimic pre-
sentation of the well known and beauti-
ful historical meeting between the young
Kings of England and France. The vast
menagerie has among hundreds of feat
ures the only living pair of giraffes, the
first baby elephant successfully bred and
reared in America, and the only rhino-
ceros in captivity. There is gorgeous
revival of the Roman hipprodome races,
and many other stupendous features in
this great circus. Circus day opens with
a brilliant street parade, three miles in
length. Don't fail to see it.
