acre and a half OF ground. on which
there are half dozen small buildings

1t used to be prominent place,
and shortly after the close Of the war
ship-of-the-line, then the biggest
type OF war craft built, equivalent Of
the flrst-class battle-ships of modern
times, was planned, and the building
begun at Sacketts Harbor. The vessel
was to have been the New Orleans.
The work progressed slowly, how
ever. and was finally abandoned, but
the hull Of the big vessel remained up
on the stocks. Away back. probably
along in the '40's or SOS, a man
named Metcalfe was appointed ship
keeper. In 1868 he died. and his son,
Albert H., succeeded him In the posi-

Albert II. Metcalfe watched the gov.

died. During all the years the Bu-

an estimate OF $365. to Congress for

POSTMASTERS OF OLDEN
TIME.
Ninety Years Ago Incomes Arg
umented by Acting as Agents.

The postmaster of today may think
he has troubles of his own, but there
was time about the year 1917, when
queer things were expected of post
masters. An old pamphlet dated
April 5th, 1917, states that a new
daily and thrice week paper" was to
be printed "at the seat of government"
After the virtues of the proposed publ.
cation were set forth the editor-to-be
says:
'"Postmasters are hereby authorized
to receive subscriptions for the Gaz-
ette, and for all moneys collected and
transmitted to the editor, at the city
of Washington, discount of 10 per
cent. will be allowed. Distant sub
scribers will have their papers care
fully packed and punctually forwarded
to order. 1t is to be presumed that q
copy of this pamphlet was sent to
each postmaster in the United States.
Under the system that then existed
this method was entirely proper and
1t Is claimed that postmasters derived
considerable income from such sour
ces.
The prospectus" further states that
"a competent reporter will be employed
to furnish the proceedings of Congress
for the Gazette" and that all Inter
esting articles Of intelligence will be
carefully selected and published"
The Editor-to-be. in writing of him
self says:
"As the humble guardian Of the pub
lie veal, he will occasionally use the
privilege he has right to exercise.
in expressing his temperate disappro-
baton OF such measures of the coun-
try. II those opinions should some
times be erroneous. he wishes them to
be ascribed to the common falibility
of human Judgment, which cannot be
always in the right. As far as 1t may
be possible, he will labor to be I'M
partial, but that there will be a bias,
and that that bias will be In favor OF
the present dominant party. he has to '
much candor to deny and too murh
honesty to conceal. What he can d.
within his humble sphere, shall be done
for the good of the country. and II
he fails he will console himself with
the reflection that he had discharged
his duty to the utmost OF his ability
