THE BRITISH PARCELS POST.

The consul general of the United States at London gives information concerning the growth and import ance of the parcel post system in the United Kingdom. to show that such a post would be detriment to this country. He says:
 The parcels post business trans acted through the British postoft.ce in 1909 was as follows: Parcels for warded, 2.SoS.051, of which 221,63 were insured; parcels received, 1,534.- CAP, of which 14o,Ts2 were insured. total parcels forwarded and received, 4.342,os3. an increase of S9,732 over the preceding year, and an increase of 1s.227 parcels insured.
 The following statement shows the falue of the goods exported from and Imported into the United Kingdom by parcels post during the past three calendar years

 There has been very great growth in the number of parcels sent from the United Kingdom to the United States by reason of the re- vision of the rates of postage ani the increase in the maximum weight from pounds ounces to Il pounds.
 The British postmaster general states that more recent figures show that there has been a very large in- crease in the outward and a moderate one in the homeward packets It is probable that the esta blishment of the service has been of some use in small articles which can conveniently be sent by post-'
 What is known as an insured box post was established on January l. 1908, between the United Kingdom and France and Belgium It has since been extended to Holland and Germany. and will probably, in the rather immediate future, be made to include other Continental countries The insured box post Is intended for the conveyance of articles of gold and silver (except coin), precious stones. 5ewelry and valuable articles of like nature which cannot be for wsrded in insured letters and which cannot be conveniently sent as par cels.
 letters in this country. The maximum amount for which letter can be in- sured is $1,e46- It is estimated that during 1909 13,37O insured letters were sent to places abroad against 1905 in 1908, while the estimated number received from places abroad was 61,555. against 5s,4s1 in the pre- vious year"
 Such a post would be or great ad- vantage to the American people and it would greatly increase the income of the postoff1ce department.

Auliffe, who occupies a position in
the lightweight class much similar
to that of Jeffries in the heavy
weight, occupying the stage. Nc
Aulifee, like Jeff, retired many

any competitors. McAuliffe gives
an interesting picture talk on old
fighters. He's worth seeing, even
by those who are not fight fans.
TOO Many Darlings," little
sketch, takes very well. Miss
Georgia Gardner stars in it. and
she is a very pretty and clever little
maid.
Four big fellows give some splen-
did exhibitions of physical strength,
and, although the theater-going pub
lie is getting a trifle too much of
this sort of work, the performance
nevertheless made good.

STRONG FOR THE
WATERMELON GIRLS

Tim McMahon's watermelon
Girls score a great hit at the
Washington theater this week, in
black face comedy and songs of
the south. One of their most pleas
ing features is a minstrel act and
their closing scene in watermelon
patch, where all are gathered with
in massive melon, is very clever.
There is a world of fun mingled
with the horse play" of the Bat
tie of Bunco HILL" presented by
Willard & Pond. Willard, as a
German newspaper correspondent,
who is drafted into service of the
United States army, when caught
scouting for news about the battle
field, has a rich German dialect
that is the best part of the whole
performance.
AS "The Daffy Dustys," Dick
Fitzgerald and Tow O'Dell bring
down the house with nonsensical
comedy, and Otto and Emily Metz
please very highly with their sing
ing novelty, entitled "a Midnight
Rehearsal" Both are excellent
singers. Helen Stuart, as Polly
Wiggles," a freckle faced, countri-
fled Jay supposedly from Pa
louise, is a favorite with many lik-
ing the grotesQue kind of comedy,
and Mabel Valenteen Mooree, pre-
senting a series of graceful poses
and aerial feats, is the center Of
much attraction among fanciers of
athletics. Her muscular develop
ment is the wonder of many.
