DINNER BY MAIL TUBE.
Live Chicken, Pots of Tea and Other
Articles in Pneumatic
Test.

A full course dinner, a real chicken,
very much alive and frightened, three
smoking pots Of tea and a dozen eggs
were sent scooting through Uncle
Sans mail via the pneumatic route
in Philadelphia by the federal officials
to the establishment Of score OF dis
tinguished guests gathered in the cen
trail station at the post office building
few days ago. Thus the pneumatic
tuge system connecting the central
station with station S, at Sixth and
Paramount avenue. and station o, at
Tenth and columbia avenue, was
opened.
The arrival of the squawking chick
en-, much perturbed and rufled by the
lightning ride. then the full meal OF
choice pork chops, followed by the
smoking tea and eggs. all in perfect
condition, at the central station mark
ed the turning over of the tube system
to the government officials by its con-
structors, the Pneumatic Transit COM
pany.
The postal officials were determined
TO put the tube lines to a real test.
They told none of the guests assem-
bled at the central station of the re-
markable inaugural cargo that was TO
be blown through the big tubes. With
its legs tightly bound and the sole
living passenger, the chicken was jam
med into the transmitter at the Sixth
and Fairmount avenue station. With
a 'poof'' the compressed air hit the
chicken and the ieathered passenger
shot away on its roundabout journey
with a farewell squawk. The chicken
embarked via the pneumatic route at
three o'clock.
The tubes speed is about 80 miles
an hour.
The distance from the central Office
TO station S is trifie over mile, and
the distance from station o TO station
S is close to a mile and half.
The carrier resting at the entrance
to the transmitter is seven inches in
diameter inside and "a inches long
outside. Usually 300 or 400 letters are
packed In a carrier, which makes II
possible to transport 100000 letters per
hour.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec 27.-That white
men protected innocent negroes and that
an effort is being made by the whites to
punish the "hoodlums" of their race who
were responsible for the Christmas riots
in Kemper county, Mississippi, was the
information in detailed accounts arriving
early today from the little towns which
were the scene of the bloodshed.
"A conference has been held" the dis
patches say, between the civil and mill
tary authorities, at which evidence was
produced that will establish the identify
OF five white men of good families of the
county who took part in the lynchings.
District Attorney Currie has made a public
statement, in which he says: 1 found,
upon an investigation. that the trouble
was caused by lot of hoodlums and out
laws, who openly violated all laws of God
and man and decency. The four men
killed Christmas were not connected with
the affair in any manner. and l am in
formed that the houses burned were oc-
cupied by negroes who were not even in
sympathy with any of those who were con-
nected with the outrages. These men will
be captured. II It is III the power OF the
state of Mississippi to do so. "
