POSTOFFICE
IS TOO SLOW
Telegraph Strike Just Now
Exposes Its Weak.
ness

The telegraph strike has quite naturally
Increased postofnce business to some ex-
tent, many people feeling that the malls
would at least be surer than The wires.
! 1t has proved a source OF some COM
ment, however. that the telegraph strike
should really have shown the weakness,
If anything, Of the postal service as a
secondary medium IN such circumstances
FOR a fairly speedy communication. Dis
cussing this subject a post office official
said:
THE malls, the telegraph and the tele-
phone severally are. or they ought to be,
competitive, interests IN the message
carrying field. II Is to be hoped the pos
tai system viii one day, as without the
least difficulty It may. become something
more than a passive rival, as at present.
OF its two great sister monopolies in this
Held. The postoffce lacks neither force
ful administrative talent nor jealous
service; IL Is simply hampered by mis-
leading traditional policy in pursuing the
lines OF its development
/ Now, observe that a letter reposes in a
corner letter-box some two to nine hours
time enough for a private messenger to
carry it to the postofhce and back so
tlmes-before 1t even makes a start for
its destination. It's start being made. note
how time is annihilated' in rushing II,
etc, to its particular depot Of final dis
tribution. Now see II handed over. with
dignifed leisure, by the city postoffce td
its addresses in from two to seven hours
our postal machine compete with the tele-
graphl Wen, possibly It may-say. when
the current process Of petrihcatlon of the
telegraph messenger boy is quite COM
pieted.
"A familiar sight in Europe Is that Of
the postman with his bulrs-eye lantern
delivering letters even as late as $50 p. m
During Christmas week folk frequently
wait up till past midnight for the gift
laden carrier. Nothing perhaps could have
shocked official conservatism in this coun.
try more violently than my own agitation
OF years past for a relay Of night car
riers in the large cities.

NEW CLOTHES FOR THE ARMY
How To Make Soldiers More Com
Portable Is A Question.

WASHINGTON. Aug. a-Changes in
the uniform for the enlisted men Of the
army, with a view to making It more
practical for everyday service purposes, is
receiving attention az the War Depart
ment, just as the matter of changes in the
uniform Of the enlisted men Of the navy
is just now being agitated and which
forms the basis Of the work Of board Of
which Captain Osterhaus is chairman.
Various recommendations are being re-
ceived at the war Department on the sub
ject one Of which has come from CO... j.
l.. Maus, whose observations are based
On bis experience with the militia IN the
field. He believes that the present regula-
ten felt hat Is unsuited for campaign
purpo es in hot or tropical climate and
that the infantry marching trousers
should be made fun around the knee and
the cum extend down the leg far enough
to be inclosed by the top Of the march,
ing shce, thus doing away with the leg
gin.

and hoodooism." said the father to-
day. but the facts are about these
two bullets that they were evidently
two OF a collection OF cartridges spilled
out Of the pockets Of a tramp who
had lodged under tho shade of thc
trees there. or dropped by negro crap
shooters. who frequently assemble
there. and who might have been COM

conclusive evidence.
James p. Rauedge, 10 East Fifth

never before had anything to give ne
so much ease as Doan's Kidney Pills
did. I suffered from bladder trouble
for several years and I had three Of
the best physicians in Wilmington

better All my physicians told me
that my complaint was caused by dis
orders of the kidneys. suffered con-
stantly from pains in the regions Of
these organs and I was told that I
had stone in my bladder which
caused Inflammation Of this organ.
The secretions at time were very dark
and bloody. at other time of a white.
milky nature, at time they contained a
cloudy sediment, and at others, it wss
dark and clotty, and IL the. secretions
were left to stand would form a thick,
glutinous mass adhering to the re-
ceptacle. and the passages were al
ways scalding and painful I was
told that the only thing to help me
was an operation to remove the stone
from my bladder While I was con-
sidering the matter, Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention.

that stone dissolved and came away
without my knowing it, or not, but the
pains left me. that smarting and burn-
