increased Expense Attributed to Sec
ond Glass Matter. What Order

A Washington special to the New
York Sun says; The pOstofhce depart
ment is confronted by what will prob
ably amount to the largest deficit in
its history. Just what the total de-
felt will reach is being ascertained
by Postmaster General Meyer. The
biggest differences between revenue
and expenditure was for the year
1905, when $152,826,585 was re-
ceived and $167,399.169 was ex-
pended to run the postal service, thus
showing a deficit to be made up out
OF the treasury Of over $4,000, 600.
The deficit for the year ended June
30, 1907, the last for which figures
have been published by the depart
ment, amounted to more than So
100000.

for the unusual deficit that will be
shown in the figures now being com
piled for MI. Meyer. Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Lawshe be-
lieves that it is due to the privileges
which second class matter, compris-
ing newspapers, magazines and other
periodicals enjoy. In order to de-
termine what percentage of the total
weight OF mail the second class mat
ter represented the third assistant
selected 427 offices in all sections of
the country in which 95 per cent. Of
the second class matter originates,
and had the matter weighed. The re-
port submitted showed that second
class matter represented $685. per
cent of the total weight reported.
Postmaster General Meyer be-
lieVes that the chief reason for the
large and unprecedented deficit is the
enormous number of employees who
have been added to the payrOlls with
in the last year to run the service
He is preparing a statement showing
in detail the amount OF the deficit
and the causes Of it, In all proba-
bility he will use the defect upon
which to base a strong recommends
ton to congress for the establish
ment of parcels delivery on rural
routes, as he believes that the in
come to be derived from such de-
livery on rural routes will make up
deficits in other portions of the SER

plenty, lived temperately and, well

have found themselves suffering.
How sad it is to behold that specter
constantly rising before the eyes of
these people of advanced years."
Mr.. Roses selection Of women to
carry out the terms of his beRefac-
ton was due to his conviction that
they were more in sympathy with the
unfortunate than men and better
qualified to determine who should
have relief. Of the Is women named
to constitute the board he asked only
one to serve. Their appointment was
a surprise to the others. But all of
of them were known to Mr.. Rose
personally and were selected because
of their womanly sympathies and
their high moral qualities.

MEN WANT WORK.
They Have Wives and Children That
 Must Be Clothed and Fed.

Superintendent Morris of the de. partment of charities is one of the busiest men in town since the dull season set in. With a view to keep ing down expenses and giving able bodied men a chance to earn a living for their families instead cf getting onto the pauper list, he spends much of his time going here and there looking up work for heads of fam lilies who are able to hustle in sand bank, sewer ditch or any place else. In many cases he has succeeded in finding work for men, but he has not been able to place all those on his hands and as consequence he has twenty-seven laborers who want something to do. Between their wives and children they have 137 persons looking to them for bread. MT Morris has turned the names of these good men over to the board of public works with request that an effort be made to find places for them with some of the contractors. If this cannot be done there is noth- ing for him to do but continue to care for them.

MOTHER FOUND HIM

New York, April 21.-William J Bryan's little grandson, little Bryan Leayitt, gave the democratic leader bad scare to-day, MT Bryan hsd gone to the pier to meet the steamer Minnehaha upon which Mrs Bryan, her daughter, Mrs Ruth Leavitt and Mrs Leayitt's two children were re- turning from several months visit in Europe.
 When the steamer swung in at the pier MT Bryan was one of the first on board. He found Mrs Bryan and Mrs Leavltt waiting for him on the upper deck. His granddaughter, Ruth, also was there, but little Bryan was no- where to be seen. Mir Bryan was the first to notice the little fellow s absence and his inquiry started a search which extended over the ship rom one end to the other. Officers ot the snip were pressed into the search put they were not successful and re- ported that the little fellow was not 10 be found. It was his mother whc found him just when the anxious grandfather had about made up his mind that the child either had fallen overheard or had slipped ashore alone and unnoticed. The boy had hidden himself under berth Tn hls mothers stateroom and had remained there with out sound while the anixous search was being made. When he was drawn out of his hiding place by his mother Little Bryan threw himself into his grandfather's arms and the big crowd which had gath cred on the deck watched the meet ing with enthusiastic appreciation.
 From the pier the family went at once to the Hoffman house. MT Bryan was obliged to leave them at once to fill an engagement in Tren- ton, N. J. He will return to New York this evening, however, to re- main with his family until they leave for Nebraska tomorrow.
 Mrs Bryan and Mrs Leavitt said they had a delightful trip abroad. They travelled extensively through out Southern Europe, visiting Italy, Greece, Turkey and other coun- tries.
