Aaalbag's Long Pursuit. Of the U. q.
Cruiser Milwaukee.
A sack of mail which left here four
months ago has just landed in Bremen
ton, Wash, says the New York Times.
since 1t left New York it has Travelled
over $4,000 miles In an effort to over
take the United States armored cruiser
Milwaukee. for the officers and men OF
which 1t was intended. Before It final
" caught up with the big cruiser this
sack OF mail had been to San Francisco.
tnen to Honolulu, and back to San
francisco; next to Panama, then to
honduras. back to San Francisco again,
and finally to Bremerton.
When ship is at sea and the length
or Its stay in any one port Is uncer-
tain the navy department directs the
relatives and friends of the officers and
men OF that ship to address all letters
for the ship in care of the postmaster
at New York. In the general run Of
Things the Milwaukee's mail in the New
York postoffice accumulated until there
was well-flled sack Of letters and
parcels waiting for shipment.
One day in last July this sack Of
mail was placed aboard a fast mail
train and hurried to Chicago, where it
was transshipped to one Of the trans
continental expresses for San Francis
co, where the Milwaukee was In port.
But before the mail arrived Comman-
der Rogers Of the Milwaukee received
hurry-up order from Washington to
sail for Honolulu.
On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu the sack of mail
was started on the same journey in a
fast mail steamer, but the Milwaukee
was 1000 miles out, bound for Pana-
ma, 5000 miles away, when the mail
steamer was sighted off Honolulu. Two
days later the sack was on its way back
to San Francisco, where it arrived in
due time, and as the Milwaukee was
still between 1900 and 1900 miles out
of Panama. then, the San Francisco
postmaster hustled the bag on Pana-
ma-bOund steamer. The cruiser, how
ever, reached Panama first, only to be
ordered to Amapala, Honduras, thou
sand miles to the north, and was well
on her Journey when the mail steamer
arrived.
The Panama postmaster found that a
vessel was leaving for Amapala within
,orU-eight hours, and he transshipped
the sack of mail to that steamer, but
the Milwaukee was steaming full speed
back to San Francisco when the sack
reached Amapala. The postmaster
there forwarded it to San Francisco.
Again the sack missed connection, as
the Milwaukee had sailed for Bremen
ton, Wash. Arriving there, the cruiser
was put in reserve, and the bag of mail
again forwarded from San Francisco
this time by rail-finally reached the
boat and was delivered to the men.

CLOTHES AND THE STAGE.

What an Actress Learns About the
Art of Individuality I'm Dress.
The actress soon learns to approach
the subject of dress in way that rare
ly occurs to the average woman upon
whom its necessity is not enforced
though that necessity exists in ordinary
life quite as much as on the stage, and
overlooking it is the secret of much Of
the bad dressing we see, says Julia
Marlowe in Women's Home Companion.
The actress is bound to wear clothes
that will keep her in the picture, and
such favorable attention as she attracts
by her clothes is due to the design,
material or style of the gown itself
only so far as these all melt into tho
scene in which they are worn.
How much the average woman could
learn in this one particular from the
hard school of stage experience! How
few women know how to choose even
house gown that is in harmony with
the surroundings of their own homes.
OF course, dressing for the street Is
more difficult, but even there ordinary
forethought would prevent many Of the
selections in dress which American
women allow themselves. Dressing for
the social function is the most difficult
of all, on this very account, for there
each woman is at the mercy Of other
women present, most Of whom have
dressed with no thought Of the environ
ment, while on the stage the actress
knows that every other costume, like
her own, has been calculated for the
picture.
And this principle allows plenty Of
latitude for individual taste and judg-
ment in dress. Even we stage women
develop ideas of our own and have our
favorite kinds Of costumes. don't
know OF a part in which take moro
comfort than Parthenia in "Ingomar,"
and I believe in the artistic lines and
graceful freedom possible in the loose,
flowing style Of dress In vogue before
the days Of stays and princess gowns.

reader. Want Facts First.

Prof. w. D. Scott of Northwestern uni.
versity, in his new book on the Psy-
chology of Advertising" gives the results
of a set of questions sent to 1900 readers
Of the modern daily newspaper. From the
answers sent by 5000 men he has reached
the conclusion that readers do not care to
have a paper serve as interpreter OF the
news or as advocate of the truth. All
that they want is brief but comprehen-
siye publication of the news. In his
opinion that editor will be most appre-
ciated who selects news most wisely and
presents the unvarnished truth in all mat
ters in which the constituency are inter-
ested. He adds: THE ideal paper would
have to do only with facts. The news
would have to be well written, but the
interest would be mainly in the news
itself and not in the reporters or the pub
lisher,s views concerning it." The answers
showed that local news leads all other
features in interest Then came in order
named. political, sporting and financial.

CERTIFICATES OF
BIRTH ISSUED

Evidence of the large number of ia.
panese and Chinese who may within the
next few years become citizens of the
United States and demand the voting
franchise, because they were born in
these Islands, has been gathered by Sec
rotary of the Territory Z. A. Mott
Smith. He has, during the two years
ending December 81, issued total of
nine hundred and thirty certificates of
Hawaiian birth through his office. OF
this number 7s7 were issued to minors
and 143 to adults of the Chinese and
japanese races. The Secretary has been
compelled to give great deal of his
time to this work, and the results are
apparent.
Although the registration of birth in
the Islands does not make these people
citizens of the United States or the Ter.
ritory, it is accepted as prima facie
evidence that would eventually make
them citizens. 1t is startling fact
that, out of the 1893 births in the Ter
ritory during the year ending June 80,
1908, as shown by the Board of Health
records, 2445, or more than half, were
japanese. There were 3SS Chinese
births during that period.
The total number of pupils in the
public schools during the year ending
June 30, 1908, was 23,445, and of this
number 55l5 were Japanese, or more
than any other one nationality In the
schools, too, the Chinese seem to be able
to hold their own pretty well, there be.

WORKING OVER THE
RECORDS Of STAYTOE

Postofiice officials were busy yester-
day going over the records in Assists
ant Postmaster Stayton IS office, and
preparing data for whatever use it
may be necessary to put it. The
charge laid against Mr.. Stayton, and
under which he is held in $1,000 bonds,
is the one he will be prosecuted under,
that of opening another PERSONS let
tiers.
1t is said that for the past nine
months the postal authorities have
been on the watch for means to
trace up the strange disappearance OF
official mail, and although Stayton was
suspected, yet no proof offered to con
vince the authorities that he was the
person responsible for the loss of the
letters which caused the department
to make rather sharp inquiries of In
sneetor Hare as to why answers to
them were not forwarded.
