NEW POSTAL RULE TROUBLESOME.
Stamped Time Of Receipt Discontinued
Hard to Place Blame of DELAYS.

II you are accustomed to receive much mall. you
may have noticed that the stamp the back
OF the envelope which recorded the time OF receipt
at the General Postoffice, any OF the branches
is no longer in evidence This is the result OF an
order issued at Washington. which has already
caused much Inconvenience. An official Of the
Postofice said yesterday:
The order was issued supposedly to save the time
OF the stampers. 1t does some time but not
very much. On the other hand. In the delay OF de-
livery or letter it is almost impossible to trace
the fault to It's source. As an example: Suppose
that a business man downtown gets theatre tickets
Tor his wife and mails them the General Post
ONCE at noon. Under the old system they would
be stamped say, at Station ", being received
there at 3 p m. But for some reason the letter
Is not delivered until the next morning. BY ex-
amining the letter carriers lists would be pos
siole TO ind out the clerk who handled that par
tcular letter. Now, however, We can't place the
blame. Similarly letter mailed say at Boston,
should be received here by the first mail In the
morning The train Is late and the delivery is not
made until midday; The receiver OF the letter
can see only that the Postofice is to blame and
We can't persuade him otherwise.
The new system is still trial. When asked
for an opinion OF its efficacy yesterday Postmaster
Wilcox refused TO talk, but said he would make
a report to Washington soon.
