RURAL LETTER CARRIERS.
Department Has No Intention Of
Substituting Some Mechanical Device.


The old saying that there is nothing new
under the sun must not be quoted In the
hearing of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General DeGraw. This official Of the gov
eminent has reason to believe that there is
something new under the sun AS result
of reports which have been circulated re-
Gently to the effect that the Post Office De-
partment is contemplating the adoption Of
some sort of a mechanical device to do the
work of the rural letter carriers. the de-
partment has received numerous letters
from inventors asking that tests be given
various appliances which have been devised
to accomplish this remarkable feat.
When it Is remembered that rural car
riers are required to procure receipts for
special delivery letters and registered mail,
sell stamps. receive money orders, render
reports and do other things requiring a con-
siderable degree Of intelligence. the wonder
full audacity Of these inven .ors becomes ap-
parent.
Mr. De Graw is good enough to suggest
that perhaps the inventors who have writ
ten to the department do not know how
their rounds. At any rate, he is not pre-
pared to entertain for a moment an idea
that a mechanical device could be made
that would do their work. He admits that
he may be a little behind the times, but
sticks to his opinion, nevertheless.
Some of the devices that are described by
enthusiastic inventors are quite novel.
Most of them provide for electricity as the
motive power and several schemes involve
the use OF trolley wires from the distribute
ing offices for the automatic depositing Of
the mail.
Mr.. De Graw says he is at a loss to know
how the report that such a device was being
looked for has gained currency. The de-
partment never contemplated any such
thing. he says. and does not expect to for
some time to come
No news has yet been received at the
Post Office Department Of any movement
on the part Of the Rural Letter Carriers
Association to brand these new inventions
as "scabs."

The next speaker. r. L. Siddons criticised
the insanitary conditions of the stores on

that some OF the places are more filthy than

that condition. He said he had received In

their food products without some protection

favorable conditions.

Turned Over to Constable.

Constable W. P. Thorne. jr., armed with
warrant for the arrest of Winebarger on
a charge of murder. called at the fort this
afternoon about 1870 o'clock and took
charge of the prisoner. He was turned
over to the constable by the military au-

for Upper Marlboro. 1t is expected that
the constable will reach the county seat

weapon that was used by Winebarger was
not the one that was furnished him by tbs
government. 1t was .38-caliber weapon.
