Better Mail Service.
With the sailing of the two steam
ers on the Australia run mail ser
vice every two weeks will be estab
lished between America and Australia
instead of the monthly service of the
present time. The great advantage
of this will be that letters can be an.
swered from the Australian end in a
month instead of in ten weeks as at
the present time.
