DEAD LETTER SALE
TO START TO-DAY
Unclaimed Articles of All Descrip.
tiOns to Be Sold at
Auction.

Come. gentlemen. how much am Of
ferd for this lot?
Here is an opportunity for you to buy
your wlfe's relatives a Christmas pres
ent cheap. In this lot you will find one
brush, a Turkish dictionary and a red
underskirt."
The auctioneer's voice singing selec-
tions like the above will be heard at
c. G. Sloan &c Co.'S auction room all
day to-day, beginning promptly at 10
o'clock this morning. when the first lot
of the SJs6 packages to be disposed Of
at the annual dead letter sale OF the
POst-Office Department will be disposed
of at auction.
Each one OF the packages contains
an odd assortment OF articles, the COL
lecting and parcelling OF which must
have furnished the post-ofiice humorists
rare moments of delight. The bulk Of
the sale will consist OF miscellaneous
items, which cover the entire sphere
of mans needs. The purchaser must
take the entire coRtents Of the package
he bids for.
Thousands OF books OF every descrip-
tion from A. B. c. books TO Turkish
dictionaries are to be found in the .962

find plenty Of brain disturbers in some

astray In the mails.
The last item to be put under the
hammer will be large uncut diamond
weighing 3-64 karats. Practically every
kind of small article Is included in
the jewelry lists.
This may be the last dead letter sale
held under the present arrangement of
disposing of the lost mails. This year
there has been great deal of opposi-
ton to the sale by the local merchants
They protested TO the Postmaster Gen
eral. but without avail. but by the time
another year rolls around II is probable
that at least the date. II not manner of
disposing OF the lost mail. will be ef-
fected.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
SERMON 'SSUBJECT
Rev. John Van Schaick, Jr., for
Second Time Makes Address
on Proposed Merger.
PREACHER SAYS HE
WILL RETRACT NOTHING
Corporations Have Chance Of Life
time to Render Service,
Says Speaker.

Another sermon on the public utilities
corporations of the District of Columbia
was preached yesterday by Rev. John
Van Schaick, jr., pastor of the Church Of
Our Father, Universalist, who several
weeks ago in a discussion Of the pro-
posed merger of the utilities made state
ments Ito which directors of the Wash
ingtOn Railway and Electric Company
have taken exception"
DR.. Van Schaick asserted last night
that he sees nothing in his previous ad-
dress to retract, but there are additional
things that he should have said.
Directors OF the Washington Railway
and Electric have felt that a serious at
tack was made upon their personal in
tegTlty,' DR.. Van Schaick said in COM
menCing his sermon.
4 am sure that l need not say to this
congregation, who heard the sermon in
question, that no such attack was made
The men on that board whom | happen
TO know are Mr.. Charles J. Bell, Mr. Mil
ton E. Allies, and Col. George TruesdeIl,
and they are men whom everybody in
Washington recognizes as men Of char
acter and standing in the community
With one of these men particularly
have had a friendship reaching over
many years. Nor do these men feel that
any Of their associates on the board of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company deserve the scourge OF public
condemnation.
Careful examination OF the sermon in
Question. and of the published reports
concerning it, study of the whole merger
situation with no desire to do anything
but get at the truth and serve the COM
munity, fail to show me one statement
that ! should retraCt. There are, how
eN er additional things which should have

i should have said, and did not that
other public service corporation in Wash
ington and elsewhere have things IN their
history which they do not care to drag
out.
Things Left UnSnid.
Il should have said, and did not. that
the management of the " ashington Rail-
way and Electric Company at present,
IS different management than that when
it was wrecked.
i should have said, and did not that
practically everybody in Washington IA
vOrs a merger of street railways, properly
safe-guarded, and providing for univer-
sal transfers.
I should have said, and did not. that
neither the District Commissioners nor
the Corporation Counsel, nor l nor any
other citizen could be absolutely sure
in advance that anything improper was

intended by a merger. But with the ex-
perience OF Baltimore before US, where
the people have saddled on them for all
time a burden of a S76.000,O0o valuation
ON an 100000 property, It was the duty
OF somebody TO sound a note of warning.
'I should have said, and did not, that
the public service corporations of WASH
ington have the chance OF a lifetime to
render a service not only to the COM
munity and the country, but to the whole
civilized world. In advance OF a Public

their financial powers under their char

they cannot provide for extensions; that
the financing of these improvements is
a public necessity. and that the corpora
