CHRISTMAS NAIL
Is NOW POURING In
Force Working Night and
Day at POst-Office.

Working with a day and night force
treble in point OF numbers to that used
at any other time of year. the Washing
ton post-ofiiee is struggling to cope with
the avalanche OF Christmas mail which
within the past few days has poured in
upon the city. Thus far the force has
been able TO keep the delivery end of
the business up without more than a few
hours delay, but with the influx this
morning of several hundred sacks of
European mail. the real work viii com
mence.
IKE sending of Christmas mail. say the
post-ofiee officials. is much Ike Christi
mas shopping. Every one puts of the
sending of their gifts and remembrances
until the last day, and as a consequence
it is impossible 10 put a force 10 work
that is able to get ali out upon time.
A feature of the late sending or the
Christmas mail pointed out by the postal
authorities is that the Dead-letter Of
rec reaps a big harvest at this time Of
the year. Addresses are hurriedly writ
ten. often illegible and more often in
correct. and the gift that was to carry
a Christmas remembrance goes TO the
auction sale. Many packages are I'M
called for at their destination Office, and
as a consequence. eventually find their
way 10 the Dead-letter Office.
Probably the most patent indication
around the Post-office building to the
casual observer that the Yuletide sea-
son is present is the constant stream OF
senders of money orders and registered
A Z
languages are posted many weeks before
Christmas, urging early sending Of
money and mail. the foreign element Of
Washington waits until the week before
Christmas before sending money 10 rela-
tlVes and friends in Europe
The amount of money that goes out
rom Washington every week of the year
Is astounding 10 thee layman. but at
Christmas il is doubled and quadrupled
in amount Statistics published by the
postal officials show that the average
amount per week sent By the foreign
population of Washington is close to So
COO
Last Christmas the totals reached
nearly 10000, and this year it is esti-
mated that the amount will reach 81, 600
or more 1t is more than interesting TO
watch the sending of this money
hosI OF the christmas money Is sent
by the Italians The Swedish girls come
next in point of amount Greeks. third.
and the Chinese last The postal officials
DO not include in their elassifcations
the orders which go TO England or Ire
land.
In point of amount Of mail sent out
from cities in the United States at the
Christmas season, Washington takes high
rank, large part of the citys popula-
ton being made up of government clerks
and employees who claim, individually,
every State and Territory in the Union
as their residence
They too, say the postal officials, are as
slow as the rest of the country in getting
their mail off, and much of It does not
reach its destination until days OF weeks
after Christmas Day. Gould the post
Office have the granting of but one wish,
IL would be that Christmas mail was sent
out early. Warnings seem TO have no
effect. however. and this seasons rush
will equal if not exceed that of any
previous year

a system of capitalism which is funda-
mentally wrong.

GERMAN KAISER FEARS
TO FACE ANGRY SUBJECTS

Berlin.-Are the kaiser and his
government afraid to face representa-
tives OF the German people, after the
recent riots in Berlin, when the far
famed Berlin police showed about the
same amount Of courage and GOODNESS
in the face OF danger as did officers
of the Russian navy when they fired
upon the English fishermen in the
North Sea.
The German Relchstag, which has
been dormant since its adjourned on
May 10, was to have met again Tues
day, November s, but. quite unex-
pectedly, its first meeting was post
poned until two weeks later, and al
though this was said to be done In
order to give the committee which Is
celebrating the reform of the imperial
insurance laws time to complete its
work. nothing can persuade the people
here from thinking that the real rea-
son was the chaneellor's rear to meet
the nations representatives at a time
when the public mind Is still occupied
with the impressions made by the
cowardly and brutal behavior of the
Berlin police.
The failure of the chancellor's at
tempt to play leading part in ar
ranging the Turkish loans, which laid
! bare to the eyes of the world the
country's lack of money, has not
helped to diminish the general feel
ing of bitterness against the govern
ment.
In liberal circles general dlssatis-
faction Is expressed at this further
| postponement. Numerous serious
questions await consideration and an
early opportunity for giving express
sion to the seething discomfort which
the government will have to face are
the state Of the imperial finances. the
rise in the cost of living, the high pro-
tective duties on meat, and the OPEN
| ing of the frontier.
In addition to these matters the
burning question Of the PrussiaA
franchise and the kaiser's recent
speeches at Koenigsburg and Marien-
burg cannot very well be kept out Of
the debates in the imperial chamber.

A One-Man Meeting,


Roseburg. Or.-Professor H. ].
Robinett, who lives in the Cavitt creek
district, 80 miles southeast of this
city, is perhaps the only man in this
country, maybe in the state and the
entire country. who ever held a dis
trict school meeting all by himself.
His district is No 1874. The meet
ing was duly advertised ahead and the
date fixed. Out of eight taxpayers
in the district only one put in an ap-
pearance. This was Professor Robi-
nett, who proceeded Immediately to
the transaction Of business. He elect
ed himself as chairman, then as clerk
Then he elected three directors, one
of whom refused to qualify. All this
was done by ballot, and the proceed
ings were properly recorded in the
minute book.
An opinion from Attorney General
Crawford tells Prof. Ropinett that
the meeting" was a legal one in
every way. The district has six chill
dren OF school age, and five Of these
are of Robinett's family. Six of the
eight taxpayers of this district are
bachelors. Arrangements are under
way to begin six months term of
school which Professor Robinett ex-
poets to teach.

REVEALS
LONG HIDDEN CHURCH

London.-From Jerusalem comes
news of an interesting discovery on
the Mount OF Olives. Remains Of an
extremely ancient Christian church
have been unearthed during excava-
tions in the ground of the Convent of
Pater Noster on the summit of the
mount. The ruins are believed to be
those Of the church built by st. Hell
ena mother Of the Emperor Constan-
tine, who erected two other churches
in the Holy Land-the Church of the
Nativity at Bethlehem and the Church
OF the Holy Sepulchre.
Two separate floors of mosaic have
been found, one lying two and a half
feet below the other. The lower one
is believed to be long to st. Helena's
Church, dating from A. D. $50. and
the upper one to restoration built
by the Crusaders. Several tombs
were also found among the ruins, one
bearing a legible Greek inscription,
"Theodous."
It Is believed that the site of the
church marks the traditional spot
whence Christ preached the Sermon
on the. Mount.
