unless the applicants are known or identified to
the postmasters they might rent boxes to per

1.-THE post Office department has accomplished
great reforms within recent years toward the
stamping out of fraudulent concerns who used
the mails to reach their Victims but there is one
abuse which has not yet been reached, mainly for
lack of suitable legislation and that is the private

ODD HISTORY IN OFFICIAL FILES.

There is some queer history locked up in the
files of the various government departments. A
few days ago the appointment clerk of the treas
ury department unearthed letter written by
Horace Greeley in 1866 recommending Cornelius
Vanderbilt for appointment as a member of the
cotton claims commission.
The photographer of the treasury department
has negative made of Gen Grant when the lat
ter was beardless. 1t requires second look to
detect any of the familiar features of the silent
soldier.
In the bookkeeping division of the Office Of
the auditor for the post Office department is a
record and all the correspondence relating to the
shortage in the accounts of Abraham Lincoln as
postmaster at New Salem, Ill. Mr.. Lineoln's

The cause, he said, had made enor-

he believed that women were as well

exercise the right TO vote, and In his
opinion, the deputation had made out a
conclusive and irrefutable case.

as himself, the premier pointed out thar

because of his own sympathies and
convictions he gave u pledge regarding

ably would check the flowing tide. ana
advised them to leave the matter con-
ddently to the growing strength OF
their cause.
The premier concluded with saying
thai he believed II would not be many
years before the desired change was
brought about. This reference To

members Of the deputation who left
