VIII Receive $4,000 of the Seven
Million Increase in Salaries.
Records show that Department Has

OF the seven million dollars increase
made in the salaries of the postal en-
ployes Of the country, those in the Dis
trict of Columbia will get approximately
so, 200, those in Maryland about $751;, 900,
and those in Virginia in the neighborhood
OF S1SOOOO.
In the District of Columbia there are
about 500 clerks in post-offices, according
to the Blue Book, who will receive an in
crease OF 800 per annum. There are
about go letter carriers in the District
who will receive similar increase, and also
about 100 railway postal clerks. There
are three rural free delivery carriers who
will get 1920 each.
In Maryland there will be about 500
clerks in post-ofiices who will get 500
raise a year. some 400 letter carriers, and
about 200 railway postal clerks. There are
about $50 rural free delivery carriers in
the State who VIII get S120 increase each
a year.
Virginia viii have about 800 clerks in
post-ofices. who win each come in for
800 increase, about 200 letter carriers, and
some 80 railway postal clerks. There Will
riers in the Old Dominion who will get
an increase Of $120 a year each
OF course, these figures are only approx
innate. Owing to increases from year to
year, there are more men in the service
than there We're when the Blue Book was
issued two year sage. But by allowing a
given percentage of increase. the figures
may be made approximately correct.
In connection with the increase OF 500
a year to all railway postal clerks, there IS
much interesting data to be brought out
To begin with, there are less than 14.cO0
active railway postal clerks to handle all
the mail carried by the Railway Mail Ser
vice. During the past fiscal year this
amounted to 1881, $50, 40 pieces, exclusive
of the 46,607,S registered packages.

goes on forever" and as the department
aims to have the clerks average about
eight hours a day, it follows that these
1900 clerks have to be divided into three
shifts of eight hours each. thus giving to
about 1900 men the unusual task of
handling all the mail carried by the Rail-
way Mail Service during any given eight
hours. According to data brought out IN
the postal commission which investigated

Better Housing Conditions and
TO Prevent Disease.

United in a joint appeal for funds, the
committees on prevention of consumption
and Improvement Of housing conditions
have decided 10 send out letters within
few days 20 many people Of Washington.
With 500 deaths a year from tuberculosis,
and with the suffering and economic loss
evident in each case, the committees be
lieve that a campaign of prevention, based
upon principles Of common sense, and
conducted by both experts and public
leaders in the community, is Of vital Inn
pOrtance.
The committee members believe that a
volunteer committee should conduct a
campaign Of education and legislation
until housing laws and conditions are
such that they will protect the health
problem Is not as extensive as in New
York, it is equally as dangerous to health
and good citizenship. the committee mem
bers believe.
They also believe that the District needs
a revision not only of building, but Of
sanitary laws and more inspectors TO safe
guard the health and lives of the people
who live in the poorer sections.
For the work OF these two committees, a
combined budget OF $500 has been made.

The Commissioners viii tomorrow for
ward to Congress an unfavorable report
on Senate bill 1854, Fifty-ninth Congress.
For the establishment OF a park at
Maryland avenue, Fifteenth street, and H

estimate the value of the land at about
$4,000 an acre, which would make the
value Of the entire tract about S1O0.2i0,
instead OF $lJOoO0 proposed TO be appro-
priated by the bill.
In reference to the bill the Commits
siOners say The Commissioners believe
that this property is suitable for a large
park, and that such a park would be de-
sirable as there is now none existing IN
this locality They do not believe, how
ever, that the bill should name any spe-
ciic piece of property for the park, but
that If Congress desires to locate n park

ent be able to support more than one such institution, the chapter expressed the hope that there might be a con- certed action by all interested in the higher education of women to establish at Montgomery college of the first rank, to which all the women's schools and colleges should be feeders The chapter thinks that such 0 college would be earnestly Christian in char acter, and that it should be required that all of it's faculty and trustees be members of evangelical churches, and that the study of the Bible be a part of the college curriculum. An institu- tion founded on these broad lines and supported by all the denominations of the State might be a college in fact as well as in name. The chapter would desire to see in such a college special courses for the training of women as home makers.
 The chapter instructed the secretary to write to all the colleges on it's roll for annual catalogues, and to place these in the Montgomery library for the reference and use of the public. Having read in Fridays Advertiser with much interest the open letter of Congressman S. J. Bowie to the Legis- lature the chapter voted to send let ter of appreciation to Congressman Bowie, and to file his letter containing much useful information about the schools of Alabama.
