Disappointment is felt, naturally. that
the new postmaster Of Washington IS not
a local, instead Of a departmental man.
but the edge Of that disappointment is
taken off by the knowledge that he is a

record in the postal service guarantees
that he viii make an efficient postmaster.

well as at another. They would nat
urally step off the platforms at street
corners, where there would be access to
the surface.
The plan seems TO involve no risk to
life or limb. though It viii not appeal TO
the inhrm. One advantage would be the
saving Of the time now lost in the slow

That process would all be performed by
the passenger. Tho construction would
resemble that Of the subways. The prin-
ciple has been put into practice In sew

way stations. which have proved prac-
ticable and popular. The experiment will
be observed with interest in many other

Citation OF bull-hghting as at present
