An Underground Mail Road.

The ever growing difficulties attendant
upon the rapid despatch of letters and
packages from the various postoff!ces by
mail vans or post carts has led to the
conception of ingenious plan by the
German postal authorities. This consists,
says tine Engineer in the building of an
under ground electric letter railway,
which is to convey mail packages from
the general postoffice and another post
office in Berlin to the Potsdam railway
station and vice versa. The Berlin town
council have been considering the postal
authorities project for some months past
and on December q they at last decided
to consent to the scheme on the condition
that yearly subsidy be paid to the city
of Berlin The postal authorities were
at first opposed to the payment of any
fee for the right OF way, because instead
Of reducing expenses. they held that the
new plant will mean an increase of costs
and that benefits will accrue only to the

INTERPRETED IN MAHLER.
Mining Scheme Recalls Baldwin .COul
 ty Land Deal

ty Land Deal.
 Mobile, May 2s.-(SpeciaL )-Some in . terest attaches to the press report of the failure. of the, ,Anador Mining and Development Company from the fact that Robert N. Mahler. Treasurer of the company that Is said to have used S650, 900 of its stockh olders' money and only mined five cars of ore, was at one time connected with Baldwin County colo nization scheme. One of the purchasers of land through this company said today: Mahler was interested in the com pany that sold the land to settlers around Loxley. We paid about i've prices for the land under the assur- ance that the Illinois Central wished to secure an outlet on the Calf at Pensa- cola and had. already purchased the old log roads of the Hand Lumber Com pany and the Southern Land and Tim Der Company running from Gateswood to Muscoogee, Fla, to use as links in this line. ~.
 Many purchasers sold their holdings for very little but others held on and farming.
 When the Louisville and Nashville branch from Bay Minette was built many of us contributed either in mon ey or in labor to the construction in order to get an outlet for our produce and make our land worth approximate ly what we had paid for it.
 'Mahler is well known to many peo- pie around LoXley and in other parts of Baldwin. It was through his repre- sentations that much of the land was sold and while there is no special III will towards him, 1t cannot be said that there Is much lowe for him over there .
