OLD TIME PoSTMASTERS.
They Were Called Upon to Do All Man.
ner of Queer Things.


ner of Queer Things.
4 The modern postmaster may
think he has troubles of his own,
but there was a time, along about
1917, when he was called upon to
do all manner of queer things For
instance, in rummaging through an
old trunk a venerable resident of
Washington recently unearthed an
age stained pamphlet which an
nounced the Inauguration of "new
daily and thrice a week paper" to
be printed cat the seat of govern
ment." The announcement was
dated April 5, 1877, and after a
fvoluminous exposition of the vir-
tues of the proposed paper the ed
itor to be said:
EPostmasters are hereby author
lied to receive subscriptions for the
Gazette, and for all moneys collect
ed and transmitted to the editor, at
the city of Washington, discount
of 10 per cent will be allowed. Dis
tant subscribers will have their pa
pers carefully packed and punctual-
ly forwarded to order"
Then follows a set of blank spaces
where the postmaster might append
the names of the subscribers. The
entire pamphlet was complete, and
q copy was sent, presumably to every
postmaster in the then United
States. If every postmaster could
thus be used as a mail order agent"
in these days of strenuous COMPETE
ton what a variety of duties they
would be called upon to perform.
But under the system that then ex-
issed this method.was entirely prop
er, and it is said that the postmas-
tiers made considerable revenue
from these sources. Needless to say
shis was before the days of the now
celebrated 'Ffraud order" which the
postofice department issues with
every returning sun.
But getting back to the .'pros-
pectus." 1t is a weird affair, Won
derfully and fearfully made. 1t
Actually states that "a competent
eporter viii be employed to furnish
proceedings of congress for the
ttte" and that all Interesting
Aes of intelligence Will be care
Sly selected and published" When
says that ''alI public documents
Snd state papers will be printed at
tull length" one is Immediately re-
minded of the Congressional Rec
lrd, a publication that has been
without a rival in the memory of
nan.
It is also interesting that the ed
sbr to be, one Jonathan Elliott,
advertised in April that he would
start paper in October. And he
expected all these subscriptions to
be- forthcoming, evidently before
The paper was established.-New

HAYS Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak,
languid, depressed. suffers back
ache, headache, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the
kidneys for the cause of it all.
Keep the kidneys we'll and they
will keep you well. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and keep
them we'll.
J. P. Anderson, carpenter, living
i'll the southern part of Browns
vile, Texas, says: My kid
neys have given me more or less
trouble for the past two years, A
sharp twinge of pain at times,
darting through my back and loins
and the secretions were too frequent
and caused much annoyance,
especially in the winter. My son
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
and brought home box. 1 used
them and obtained great benefit.
The action of the kidneys was cor
rected and my back mas given me

Citizens

The fire commissioners at their
meeting yesterday evinced DISPOSE
tion to "but into" the scheme of regu-
lating Los Angeles theaters as far as
building laws affect them.
They named two of their members
to assist the theater commission,
though that body has asked for no
more help. This is the commission of
architects and citizens to which has
been delegated the power of making
all playhouses and halls perfectly fire.
proof.
1t appears that heretofore Building
Inspector j. j. Backus has looked after
these details, Some of the theater
managers not satisfied with the ten
dency toward strictness observed by
the commission, resolved to start d
counter movement, hasten final re-
port from the citizens commission and
dispose of the question finally so as to
end the agitation.
To the original commission drawings
have recently been furnished, showing
or verifying the measurements in the
interior plans of the theaters, the doors
and other exits. A draughtsman has
also been allowed.
Commissioner j. c. Kolff voiced the
objection of the theater owners to the
provisions of the new building ordi-
nance. The main objection is to the
requirement of four-inch standpipe,
The Mason opera house has a three
inch pipe: Fischers two and one-half
inches and other theaters are equipped
with pipes of varying dimensions. None
desires to go to the expense of tear
ing out these pipes and substituting
the standard size.
1t was decided by the board to name
Mr.. Kolff and Chief Lips a committee
to confer with the theatrical commits
sion with a view to regulating the size
of the standpipe to the capacity of the
theaters. This commission comprises
Octavius Morgan, Thornton Fitzhugh,
Lester S. Moore, Theodore Eisen and
Building Inspector Backus. The latter
is chairman.
