Prohibition has been failure" was the
unanimous opinion as expressed to-day by

violators of the prohibition law following

What else is your division doing,
Mr.. De Graw?
fourth assistant postmaster general,
1T does considerable outside the ru-
raj delivery service. We have to do
with all the dead letter mail. which
last year amounted to over thirteen
million pieces, of which we opened and
returnedAto their owners more than
seven million. We have a force Of
176 clerks, under Col. James R Young,
who do nothing but handle dead let
too badly addressed to be delivered.
That alone Is quite a chore."
But outside that and more directly
connected with the rural delivery SER
vice is the division OF topography. This
is little appreciated except here in the
department, but 1t is an important cog
in our machinery. It collects, COM
piles and publishes all the geographic
cal information required by the serv-
ice. including the plating of exist
ing post offices and the mail routes
This information is embodied in post
route maps and in blue prints We
here. and they J ave to be corrected to
date every month In addition we
have about twenty three thousand
special diagrams. which are intended
for the railway mail service and we
have to draft maps of the counties
where the complete rural delivery serv-
ice has been established We made
275 new maps of that kind last year.
These maps are of great value not
only to the department but TO out
siders. They are used by business
firms and private individuals and are
sold at just 10 percent over the cost
of printing, the proceeds going to
making more maps. Indeed we have
plenty to do

W. ASHINGTON, D. c., July 29.-
wv Fifteen years ago when Uncle
Sam was still but little more
than machine for collecting taxes and
paving employees, the man outside the
city got his letters as he could once
day. once a week, or, perhaps, once a
month. To do so he had to ride or walk
miles, and his only source of sending
mail was through the country postoffice,
to which he must go. Then began
the era of Uncle Sam, patriarch, and
the agents of the postoffice department
commenced to call daily at the homes
of the farmers. This was the beginning
of the rural free delivery, which has now
spread 70 every part OF the country,
and which daily serves more than 90
000, 900 people There are already over
10000 rural mail carriers, who are always
en- route, and the miles they daily travel
are more than four times as great as
from here to the moon. In year OF
800 working days, they cover a distance
of about 300,000,000 miles, or over three
times as far as from the earth to the
sun, and the total annual cost of the
service approximates the enormous sum
of $4,000 900.
Starting the Rural Free Delivery.
Before I tell you of the new plans
which Uncle Sam has for this branch
OF his business-plans which involve the
parcels post and other important addi-
tions-I want to say a word as TO how
the rural free delivery was started. 1t
had been in Use in other countries for
wears when Uncle Sam took it up. The
British were sending their letters to al
most every home in the United Kingdom,
and SO were the Belgians, French, Swiss
and Germans. long before we began to
consider the matter Then about the
year 1890 our postmasters general be-
gan to look into it, and in 1893 one OF
them reported to congress against it,
saying that it would cost at least s26,-
600, 900 per annum and would bring lit
tie back. A year later congress was
willing to test the matter and made an
appropriation of $4,000 for the purpose,
but postmaster general Bissell refused to
spend the money so foolishly, and when,
1 year or two later, the appropriation was
increased to $4,000 postmaster general
Wilson said that the plan was imprac
tieable. and it was not until 1896, when
congress gave him $4,000, that he made
the first test. The business was then
started in ~ places, but it was badly
managed and it did not succeed.
The following year it was tried again,
but this time at the request of the then
first assistant postmaster general, Perry
S. Heath, who got congress to appr,.-
pirate $3.50, 900 for the purpose. Mr..
Heath urged the matter, but some of the
senators objected, and one of them sale:

wisely. The first thing you know we

Hillsboro. N. NJ, July 29.-One Of
the largest floods in recent years came
down the north and middle Percha

excitement. 1t looked for some time
