Senator Burkett has received a letter
from Superintendent Stuart concerning
the Dolliver bill. The letter was evil

trict Committee acted and ordered n
favorable report. Mr. Stuart did not
comment on the bill favOrably or un~

sary- ore suggestion was that the
proposed law should sake effect July ].

District Committee at The instance Of
the subcommittee before Mr.. Stuart's
letter reached Mr.. Eurkett. as was also
q change 10 enable the director to ap-

Stuart thought this provision ought 10
be made.
Mr.. Stuart called tbs attention of
Senator Burkctt to the TACT that IL the
bill became law il would throw out Of
office twelve supervising principals and
two assistant superintendent. while IL
would provide for seven assistant di-
rectoTs. This arrangement as Mr.
Stuart pointed out, would leave seven
educators without positions. lie
thought some nrOyisIon should be made
to prevent this.
Senator Rurkett thinks that IN view OF

little reason 20 believe any efficient edu-
Gator now employed will be left without

POSTAL MUSEUM RETURNED;
MANY ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITS

The postal museum which has Just
been brOugh back from the jamestown
Exposition is to be placed on the thsgd
floor Of the department building, the cor
Tidors being used for the proper dis
play Of the collection.
The collection IS now larger, better.
and more interesting than ever, as the
result OF some valuable additions made
for the jamestown Exposition
BY the new arrangement visitors to
the department. are able TO see all that
IS 10 be seen on the one E3cr. the open
part Of the dead letter Office being ad-
jacent TO the museum. From the third
floor it is also possible 70 observe
through the glass roof the clerks and
carriers at work in the city postonice,
as well as to get a good view OF the
court and rich collection of p0tted plants
and palms.
May Extend Hours.
In order 20 encourage visitors 10 see
the collection, Chief Clerk Chance is
considering the possibility Of keeping the
third floor open 20 visitors until O'Clock
instead OF closing at o'clock, as hereto
fore.
Visitors may see through the mutO-
scope how mail is handled on trains,
steamships, IN postofices, on rural
routes, and all the important move
ments connected with the collection and
distribution OF the mails.
One Of the new mutOScOpe views

tine Another shows ships exchanging

Stamp Collection.
One room is given over to a stamp
collection that is said to be the best
in the United States. Both foreign and
domestic stamps are shown in this coll
lection. All sorts Of stamped envelopes
are also shown in this room.
One OF the most interesting collections
sn the museum is that OF photographs
OF soldiers that reached the dead
letter office from the battlehelds
during the civil war. These are all dis
played in good form for inspection, and
il frequently happens that visitors 10
. the museum Identify pictures, in which
case they are released by the depart
ment, and a record Of the transaction
is made TO take the place of the picture
removed. About 5000 OF these pictures
are on display.
Probably the most interesting exhibit
IS the mounted BODY or 'OWn-N, the
dog that travelled the country in mail
cars and made friends OF postal clerks
everywhere.
"Owney" drifted into the postoffice at
Albany, \. y, IN 1896 and soon formed
the habit Of boarding the mail cars. He
travelled for eleven years through the
United States and Canada and wore a
collection of some 800 tags and medals
that had been given him by newspapers,
hotels, mail clerks, and others. The
Mlkado OF Japan presented him with
