FOR POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Congressman Smith Makes Speech In
Favor Of II.

Congressman Smith Makes Speech in
Favor Of It.
The idea of postal telegraph has a
warm advocate in Samuel W. Smith,
member Of congress from Michigan,
who in a carefully prepared speech in
the house insisted that If the govern
ment would undertake such a system
the deficit in the postal department
would be almost wiped out.
I'VE should" he said, have a first
class postal telegraph in the United
States in connection with our splendid
postal facilities, and the rates can be
reduced at least one-half, leaving a
sufficient amount to dispose of the de-
felt and have money left to extend the
rural service to practically every home
and pay the city and rural carriers a
compensation fitting their services and
experiences"
Wherever the postal telegraph has
been adopted, according to Mr.. Smith,
it has at once been followed by a re-
duction in price and by an increase in
the number and kinds of messages.
Mr.. Smith is authority for the state
ment that "the Western Union octopus
in one year declared dividends which
reached the astonishing sum Of 414 per
cent"

ne iron MdSter.
On the unrequited love of Philippe
Derblay., a self-made man who has
amassed fortune in the iron business,
hangs the plot of "The Iron Master"
which will be the offering Of the Byron
Douglas company at the Columbia the
atre for the week beginning May 9th.
The piece, which is a characterization Of
George Ohnet's book, lie Maitre de
FORCES" by Lloyd Grand for Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall, is said to be one of the
strongest plays ever written, and it
had successful run of over 300 nights

While the play is an elaborate one
to be undertaken by any company, it
is claimed that the Douglas company
will present the drama with the origi-
nal scenic effects and, as the piece
gives opportunity for elaborate costum-
ing, 1t may prove to be the best yet
seen at the Columbia.
