TO INSURE DELIVERY.
Postmaster Randall Arranges To Re-
lisve Congestion of Christmas
Mails.

The prompt handling of the Christ
mas mails is always a serious consid-
Grafton at the postoffice, and special
arrangements are being made by the
Postmaster to insure the prompt de-
livery of all mail matter arriving be-
fore and on Christmas Day.
The Department has permitted the
employment of an additional clerk
and carrier as well as a wagon for
the delivery of package mail A SER
ious difficulty, however, is presented
in the fact that Christmas falls on
Monday, and Christmas-eve being
Sunday, prevents a general delivery
of mail on that day.
Postmaster Randall has announced
that on Christmas-eve the usual
rules regarding Sunday mail will be
suspended and there will be gener-
al delivery from the windows be-
tween the hours of $50 and IL a.
m. of all the mail usually handled
by the carriers. In addition to this
the registry, general delivery and
stamp windows will be open between
those hours.
1t will insure the delivery of Christ
mas mail and relieve the congestion at
the Office if persons generally will
call for their mail at the postoffice
next Sunday between the hours indi-
Gated.

The weather looks very much to-
day as if it wanted to snow. The Uni

significant in Sundays papers when
he said that Monday would be clear
and good day for Christmas shop
pers, but as il turned out to be the
contrary, raw, damp. threatening all
day, and another Blue Monday it

RED CROSS SEALS.
Annapolis Active in the Movement.

Red Gross Seals are still on sale,
and everyone sold means one cent to-
wards the fund which is being used
in the warfare against the spread of
tuberculosis.
Large sales were made Saturday
and yesterday at the Farmers Ma
tional Bank and the Annapolis Bank
ing and Trust Company, and at the
various stores and hotels in town.
Every State in the Union is actively
engaged in the work, and the returns
last year showed that large sums had
resulted from the sale of the little
stickers which carry a message of
good cheer, and at the same time
stand for a vast amount Of good work
for humanity's sake.
Formerly all mail which had any
seals upon the address side was held
up, but Postmaster General Hitch
cock has issued an order that an ex-
ception was to be made in favor of
Red Cross seals until January l.
So that now the seals may be placed
anywhere upon letter. and anywhere
upon package so that they do not
seal or thus make it first-class mail.
Our citizens should have a hand
in this good fight, and purchase the
merry little stickers for use upor
their Christmas mail.

Shoppers who have put it off until

REPORT OF THE "CUT"
Managers Of House Of Correction Blame
"EcOnOmy"-Say improvements
Are Necessary.

The present conditions of the
House of Correction at Jessup's Cut
are condemned in the report sub
mitted to the board of managers of
the Maryland House of Correction
by DR.. E. Stagg Within, of the
National Committee of Prison Re-
form. 1t is most probable that the
next Legislature will be asked for
funds to make needed improvements.
DIR. Within, in his report, makes
numerous criticisms of conditions
at the institution of which Capt.
B. H. Landlord, of Somerset county,
is superintendent. Captain Lark
ford says he has endeavored to i'm
prove the conditions, but he has
been ha npered by the lack of funds.
The board of managers is composed
mainly of residents of the counties.
and they realize the necessity for i'm
provements at the institution, but
their hands have been tied by lack of
money.
Governor Crothers has demanded
economy at the institution and has not
sanctioned the expenditure of money
for hospital building or a mess hall.
The paramount need at the House of
Correction, according to DR.. Within,
is improved sanitary conditions. I'M
der the present conditions the prison
ers are forced to partake of their
meals outside their cell doors and the
hospital is an immediate part of the
institution.
Governor Crothers, Comptroller
Stanley and Attorney-General Straus
are among the managers of the insti-
tuition. Mr.. Edward Gross, of Balti-
more, one of the managers, declared
that the cry of economy on the part
of the Governor is responsible for
the conditions. Governor Crothers
said he had not seen the report.
Superintendent Landlord does not
agree with DR.. Within in all of his
criticisms of the institution. Follow
ing an outbreak of typhoid fever at
the House of Correction, DR.. c. W.
G. Rohrer, in charge of a branch of
the Maryland Board of Health, made
an examination and made a report
favorable to the sanitary condition of
the institution. The finding of DR..
Within is quite to the contrary.
