Special Delivery Letters,

Since the change in postal regulations
which now permits the use Of stamps 10
the value of 10 cents in place Of the
special delivery stamp. the amount of
such mail has greatly Increased. 1t is
due to this increase that peculiar fea-
lures Of the service were brought to the
attention of the Post-ofice Department
officials
recently that an investigation resulted.
which brought to light the fact that a large
percentage OF special delivery letters con-
tain valuables. An official stated that
fully four out OF five persons believe a
special delivery stamp on letter means
security.
He points out that the practice OF send
ing money or valuable papers in special
delivery letters has been INDUCED in so
much recently as TO make the letter less
safe than one with only the 2-cent stamp
affixed. Since there are dishonest men
among the three-auarter million en-
ployes of the postal service who handle
mail-just as there are dishonest men in
all walks of life-the thief has learned TO
look for valuables in the special delivery
envelope.
The special delivery letter is handled
as is the other frst-class mall. It is only
when it reaches the office OF delivery
that the additional stamp means anything
to the postal employe This explains why
such large percentage OF special de-
livery letters go astray, as compared with
the amazingly small percentage Of other
mail. The only remedy is publicity and
a change in the habits of those persons
who use the special delivery instead OF
the registry system when sending money
or other valuables.

Case of Porter Charlton.

Alienists will doubtless pronounce young
Porter Charlton insane. ANY rational
consideration of his case by the lay mind
leads but to the conclusion that the
shocking crime which he has confessed
was that of an irresponsible man.
It is incomprehensible upon any other
theory.
To permit him to go free owing to
treaty complications between the United
States and Italy would be a reproaeh
to this law-respecting country and an
international scandal; but If. by proper
and honest processes. his insanity be es-
tablished and the remainder of his ruined

Naval Administration.

The vicissitudes, departmental and Con-
gressional, which have attended the OBJ
liberation Of the so-called Newberry plan
Of naval administration and the estab-
lishment OF the system devised by the
present Secretary OF the Navy, Mr.
Meyer, have resulted in authority for the
trial Of the Meyer plan until next De-
cember, when Congress will again meet
and be in possession of a full report of
the advantages-and presumably the dis
advantages. If there are any-of the oper-
alton of the plan. Mr.. Meyers scheme
involves many questions OF a complicated
and more or less technical character,
which, as usual under such clrcum-
stances. engaged opposition within the
service itself and created doubt in Con-
gress as to the efficacy claimed for it by
its author and advocates. Congress was
promptly beset by conflicting assertions
calculated to bewilder the most con-
seientIous legislator who might be sin
cerely DESTROYS Of lending his aid to a
Congressional provision which would in
sure efncient and economical administra-
ton of the Navy Department and conduct
Of the navy yards.
It would seem that there would be no
excuse for Congress at the next session
to install permanently system of naval
| administration which shall be entirely in
the interests Of the government. despite
the objections which may be raised in
any quarter. BY the same token, it will
be possible for Congress to determine
whether the opposition to the Meyer plan
has anything more tangible to it than
prejudice and protection Of selfish in
terests. II is wise to have this oppor-
tunity Of free and untrammeled discus
sion. to the end that Congress may act
with wisdom and justice and settle in the
| right way the vexatious question which
has been so long the subject of contro-
versy. some of it of a quite acrimonious
character. II ought not TO be a difficult
matter for the naval authorities to pro-
duce the proof of inefficient or extrava-
CANT naval administration, If any such
dire conditions exist either in the Navy
Department OF at navy yards. 1t should
be simple business proposition, and
Congress assuredly will interpose no OBJ
lection to plan which is truly remedial
when there is occasion for the remedy.
The great trouble which Congress has
undoubtedly encountered is that interests
not entirely those OF the government
have influenced recommendations. We
shall not undertake to say whether this
has been entirely for or against the
Meyer plan, or in what proportion it may
be divided impartially on one or the
| other side Of that question. It is enough
TO know that Congress has given the
Secretary OF the Navy an opportunity for
the demonstration he believes viii show
conclusively the real advantages Of his
plan OF naval administration. By next

CLUSTERS LAST FIGHT-JUNE &c.

Gen. George A. Custer was one OF the
most notable cavalry officers developed
during the war Of the rebellion. 1t was
his fortune TO be in the thick Of the
conflict within a few days after leaving
the training school at West Point, and
from that time until the day of his death
his life was filed with strenuous work
and stirring adventure, in which he was
frequently exposed to deadly peril. His
whole career was with the mounted arm
of the service, and in that he was re-
markedly successful

For number Of years after the civil
war Custer had been engaged in Indian
fighting on the frontier of the United

of Indian warfare in this country. His
last battle was that of the Little Big

years ago to-day.
The expedition which led up to this
famous battle was started on May II,
when Gen. Terry. his officers. of which
Custer was one, and his troops left Fort

the campaign was likely TO be decisive

a serious blow-one from which they

The Height of Kings.

From NJ. A. P.
A remarkable feature about the ply
siques OF reigning European monarchs
Is that they are nearly all shorter than
their consorts. King George Y is several
inches shorter than Queen Mary. The
German Empress is trife taller than
the Kaiser, who always insists on the
Empress sitting down when they are
photographed together. Gar Nicholas II.
looks quite small by the side of the
Czarina. Alfonso, of Spain, is a head
shorter than Queen Victoria Eugene.
and the King of Italy hardly reaches to
the shoulder OF Queen Helena. The
Queen of Denmark, too. Is a good deal
taller than her husband. Exceptions to
the rule are the King of Norway and
the new King of the Belgians The lat
is feet inches IN height and the
tallest King In Europe.

ALITTLE NONSENSE.

"All the world adores a lover"

Every time.

With deep guile.
And evasive schemes he's trying
All the while.
Does he for the license caper.
Stepping high?
No; he tries TO get the paper
On the sly.
He receives the worlds attention
In these ways,
And we wouldn't care TO mention
What he says.
