The manless club was formed
three years ago in Alton, the char

nent women of the town, all married.
Since that time eight members have
been visited by the stork, and in ey-
cry instance the bird has left a girl
baby.
Branches Of the club have laen or
ganized in many cities and in states
as far distant as Colorado and Cali

members of these subordinate lodge

children and it is feared that if the
idea is carried farther posterity will
consist of the gentle sex only.

PARCELS POST CONDEMNED.
Writer Says 1t Would Be a Bad Bus
ines Proposition.

Albert N. Merit, writing in the
Journal of Political Economy on the
scope of government functions,
strongly opposes the parcels post as
being bad bushes proposition. He
adds that the postoftice is not run
on business basis, but is conducted
oD absurdedly extravagant lines.
Mr.. Merit refers to a statement of
President Ripley, of the Santa Fe
railroad to the effect that he would
stand sponsor for a company which
would contract to perform all the
postal business of the United States
at the present rates with equal
.promptness and efficiency aud pay
to the government for the privilege
a sum of $50,000,O00 annually.
According to Mr.. Merritt, if the
more radical bills introduced in the
last congress to reduce the parcel
rates were enacted the postal deficit
would Immediately assume enormous
proportions.
In dealing with first class matter
the government, it is further pointed
out, has monopoly, but in entering
upon the express business the com
pany would have to recon with the
competition of four great express
companies.
