We are also asking to be allowed two additional clerks. who will have charge of the mooney order and stamp windows until o'clock each evening. Beginning January 1st. the money or der window will be closed each even ing at o'clock except on the 10. 11th, 1eth. and 18th of each month.~
 Another regulation or the depart ment which seems to be absolutely iisregarded by the public. and which causes q great deal of inconvenience is negligence in regard to placing the box number on mall. In the future unless a letter or package bears the box number of the addressee. it will be placed in the general delivery win dow. and stay there until called for. This is strict rule of the department. and wii have to be enforced"

HOLIDAY RUSH AT EXPRESS
 OFFICES
Both Incoming and Outgoing Business Is Exceedingly Large, Breaking All Former Records In BiSbee.

This is my busy day" is the sign that Agent G. A. Velsir. of the Wells Fargo Express Company and his force of seven clerks and drivers have been carrying around with them for the past week incident to the holiday rush. The large volume of outgoing and in- coming express business. chiefly of the package variety. such as is usual ly the commodity forwarded by friends as Christmas gifts. has kept the agent and his force busy during the day and far into the night. The holiday rush this year has been a record breaker in the history of the Bisbee office, which has been established here for the past three years.
 We have been working day and night for the past week. with little or no time in which to eat or sleep" said Mir. Velsir last evening. ne holi- day packages have been coming in in large quantities. but tbe banner days will be Sunday and Monday with the incoming business. The outgoing business has showed decided in- crease over former holiday seasons,
 
 broken, and I expect the month of De cember will prove the best in the his- tory of the office. which is three years old. go far as receipts are concerned. The money order business has also been very large ever since pay day.
 Tn discussing the large volume of business. must not overlook the Lowell office. which was opened last July. There has been much business done down there ever since the office was opn. aned. and since the holiday rush was on we have averaged wag- onload of outgoing business day. The money order business down there has also been exceptionally goo.
 We receive express on four trains daily. the bulk of it arriving on the two morning trains. the S:45 a. m. train bring the eastern business. while that from the west arrives at 9:5o al m. In the event of trains being late the night trains bring in considerable business, the eastern arriving at 4:a0 D. m. and the western at 5:3o p. m.
 For the next three days we will be working day and night in order to pre-.

PAIkE's COPPER LETTER.

Especial Wire to Duey & Overlock.)
 BOSTON. Dec. 22-The whole mar ket today was very cratic. OsceoIa directors declared only $6 dividend, and the disappointment caused ten point break in the stock. with a slight rally at the close. Mohawk. however, advanced a point and held it. A small failure In New York caused consiGera- ble liquidation in railroad stocks. and this affected our market somewhat. The buying of Calumet is the best seen for long time. one broker hay ing an order to buy all the stock of fered at $900. Cent. and Aiiouez were rather neglected and closed weak. The bank statement was fav- oaable. and the feeling on money is a little better, but rates are as stiff as ever.

FLOOD TIDE AT LOCAL POST
 OFFICE
Enormous Volume Of Holiday Mail Continues to Pour h. New Quarters Are Nearly Ready for Occupancy.

To psrson who stops to consider ness that Is transacted at the local post office during the holidays by an ordinarily small force of clerks. and the cengested condition of the space wherein this force Is expected to work. il seems wonderful that the business is transacted with 90 much dispatch and 50 few errors.
 Under ordinary circumstances the local post office room is entirely too small for the amount of business to be transacted but when thousands or packages are received every day in addition to the ordinary business as the case at the present time. the space where the clerks attend to the dis,ri- button of the outgoing and incoming mail resembles a croweded room in Q storage war-house rather than a place of business.
 A visit to the local post office re yeais the fact that there are some thing like es.ooe pieces, of mall. con sisting of letters and packages. await ing to be sent to other citiss. or lying in the boxes or general delivery win cows until the addresses call for them. To handle all of this mall in addition to waiting on the public at the various windows ehere is force of thirteen young ladies. whose office hours are from o'clock a. m to r. m.
 
 Tho wo-i. is go divided that all Of the distributing rests entirely on four clerks, who receive the mail from one V ho divides It as if Is brought in from outside points. Fifty per cent of the rieces of mail don ot bear the ad- dressee's box number. and unless the clerk is familiar with the same it Is necessary to refer to chart causing a loss of a minute or two when time is valuable. In a large number Of cases the address is practically ilieg- ibie. and 1t takes several minutes to figure out the name causing an addi- tional loss of time. There are many other slight incidents which would save these clerks a great deal of trou- ble if the general public were more thoughtful. but those mentioned are the most annoying.
 Were it not for the fact that the new post office quarters in the libra " building will be finished shortly. the task of improving the postal ser vice would be a hopeless one. When seen yesterday and asked concerning matters in connection with the new office Postmaster Cassidy said: "A .umber of workmen are now install ng the fixtures in the new Library building. and it is probable that we will be able to move in shortly after the first of the year. Until we do get into our new office the public will have to consider the enormous disad- santages under which it is necessary to conduct the affairs of the service. and make allowance for slight mis- takes
 At the present time the depart ment at Washington is considering the plan for installing a branch office on Brewery Ave. where domestic money orders wiil be issued. mail registered and stamps sold. II Is probable that this plan will be acted on fayorabiy and this will be of great assistance.

The Last Word.

Having the last word" said naval
officer, reminds me OF n story heard
not long ago. \ certain man died, and
a clergyman WAS engaged to ofYer a
eulogy. This worthy minister prepared
a sermon of exceeding length and
strength. but Just before lie entered the
parlor TO deliver IL he thought that It
might be advisable To learn what the
dead mans last words had been. So
he turned To one OF the weeping young
or sons and asked:
my boy, can you tell me your IA
theirs last words?
He didn't have none the boy re-
piled. Ma was with him To the end"

MEANINGS OF CALDER.
Either the Diameter Of . Can or It's
Length Divided by Diameter.

There is surely no word in the no
menclature OF guns, big and little,
which has caused and Is causing so
much confusion in the lay mind as the
word caliber.
The confusion arises chiefly from the
use Of the term In an adjectival sense
to indicate length, AS when we say
SO caliber six inch gun.
The word caliber as applied TO artll-
lery signifies essentially and at all
times the diameter Of the bore OF
gun. A gun, then, OF six inch caliber
is n gun whose bore IL just six inches.
For convenience and because the
power of a gun when once its bore has
been decided upon depends SO greatly
upon its length, artllerists are in the
habit OF defining the length OF the gun
in terms OF the caliber
The six inch rapid fire gun, as mount
ed on the ships Of the navy. is a trife
under twenty-five feet In length and
Is therefore known as 30 calibcr gun.
In the case OF small arms the calber
is expressed In hundredths OF an inch,
as when We say a % calibcr or 30 cali
Tcr pistol, meaning that the bore is
ID or 30 Of an inch in diameter.-Sci-
entific American.
