SARAH BERNHARDT
WILL MARRY NO MAN

PARIS. Dec. 10,-Two causes were
assigned today why Sarah Bernhard
will not marry Cadrane. the young
Greek actor. First, her son, Maurice
Rernhardt. has opposed the union
most strenuously from the first. The
tragedienne has long been dominated
by her sons wishes and without his
consent she will never marry at all.
All her spare time and spare money
go to the son. Madame Bernhard
said today to the International News
Service correspondent:
Please tell my American friends
that ! am not marrying a Greek. nor
Barbarian. nor Jew, nor Gem
tile. When next I visit America my
friends will find me fancy free as
formerly. Why. am not to be mar
ried is best explained in the follow
ing letter. which I have written to
my friend, Editor Calmette. OF the
Figaro:
VIII you kindly grant hospitality
to these lines? I deny energetically
all the reports saying l am about to
mary soon or late. I am q mother,
graHdmoth and 9reat-grandmoth-
err. three titles OF which I am proud
ana which make further comment

for Payment to Railways,

Ond Glass Rate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.--The an
nual financial statement Of the post
department for the first time since
1883 slowA a surplus instead Of a
deficit. The revenues since June l,
1911, amounted to s237,S79,S23, and
the expenditures to s25i .660,7e5, leav-
ing a surplus Of szss.lls. In 1909
the postal service was in arrears 10 the
extent of $l7.479.77o. the largest de-
felt on record. The change has been
brought about without curtailment Of
postal facilities. Instead there have
been important extensions and the
force Of employees has been increased
by more than 5000 with a general in
crease In salaries.
The department renews its recon-
mendation that the second class mail
rate be increased from ! cent a pound
to q fat rate OF two cents a pound.
although the matter of raising this
rate Is now under consideration by a
commission appointed by Congress-
and which has not yet made q report
or any recommendations
Another recomme ndation is that the
Thanking practice be discontinued
and that Legislative authority be
granted for the use of special en-
velopes and stamps to be furnished
on requisition through the agency of
the postoffica department. This to
determine the exact amount OF mail
matter carried free. and to enable
the department to give an accurate
accounting.
Perhaps the most important recon-
mendation made concerns the read
justment of pay to railways for carry
ing the mails 1t is proposed that
= Is. 10 Oh h.k IN,
stead Of paying by the weight. the
railways be compensated according to
the amount of space required in cars.
1t IL declared that this would cut
down the enormous profits enjoyed
by certain railways under the pres
ent system. and give adequate COM
pensation to others which ara now
carrying the malls at loss. and in
addition would require the railways
companies each year to report exact
ly what it cost them to carry the
mails Payment Will be allowed at
the rate thus determined in amounts
that will cover the cost and 6 per
cent. profit. 1t il believed that the
resulting saving to the government
will amount annually to about $9,-
100000
Mention Is made of the first aerial

last when $4,000 pieces were carried
from Eaeroplane Postal Station No.
l, on Nassau Boulevard, to Mineola,
L. I. The progress being made in
the science Of aviation says the re-
port, encourages the hope that ulti-
mately the regular conveyance of mail
by this means may be practica BILE.
Such a service, II found feasible,
might be established In many dis
tricts where the natural conditions
preclude other means of rapid trans
portation."

SILVER RACING CUPS
STRANGELY STOLEN

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-Three sill
yer racing cups were stolen from the
show window Of the Opel Automobile
Company on Broadway near Forty
seventh street, late last night or early
this morning in the fun glare OF an
arc light. and while q policeman mark
ed time at fixed post only block
away. The cups Were prizes won at
three recent auto races and are valued
at about $4,000 all together. There
are people passing at this spot all dur
Ing the plight. and, the TACT, that the
culprits We're not seen at work IL cause
for wonder.
The door was "jimmied" and It Is
still more surprising that the noise
thus made did not attract attention.
Detectives are on the case, and are
working on the theory that the theft
was committee by some person well
acquainted with both the store and the
immediate neighborhood.

teen minutes to write words using the
letters in that word. Mrs. Fourier
having forty five words received the

drawn a circular flag. The browning
feature of the afternoon was the pre-

Mrs. VIM. Pangburn in honor of
twelve years of faithful, efficient SER
