WILL DISTRIBUTE
IMPORTANT MAIL
Hotel Letters And Late
Papers.

Muskogee, Okla Sept. 3.-The first
application of the new ruling prevent
ing the distribution of mail at first
class postoffices Sundays was made
September /. No mail was distributed
from Saturday night at midnight until
Sunday night at the same time, when
big force of employees got ON the job
and caught up with the postal work in
time for the opening of the Office Mon
day morning.
The local postoffice employees were
notified yesterday by E. T. Bushnell,
acting first assistant postmaster gen.
eneral, that newspaper and hotel mail
should be directly under the special
delivery mail when placed in the sacks,
and accordingly should be distributed
Sunday morning after the special de-
livery mail had been cared for. Since
one employe must remain in the local
office on Sundays anyway, this class
of important mail may be distributed
and the principal objection to the new
law, that travelling men and newspaper
Offices would be delayed, will be large
ly eliminated.
The postoffice employees have also
been notified to separate daily news
papers and important business letters
from other mail and mark the mail
sacks so that the contents may be
known to insure prompt delivery. The
postmaster general hopes to counter
act the possible overflow of mail and
prevent the impairing of the efficiency
of the postal department without vio-
lating the ruling made by congress.
The discontinuance of Sunday mail
is not due to postal authorities, but to
congress entirely" said Marshall E.
Cook, assistant postmaster at the local
Office yesterday. 1--WE can arrange
our work so that there will be no un-
necessary delay in the distribution of
mail Before the new ruling was made
but two or three clerks were needed
at the Office on Sunday. There never
is a time when we do not have some
one in the Office anyway, so the change
will make little difference in the work
ing hours of the force"

Rescues Fallen Girls.

And there is one line in the report
just a single line, with no comment,
no details, nothing to mark it from
the rest-that might be expanded into
volumes and yet leave the half un-
told:
Attended to wayward girls,S."
There are more than eight times
eight young women in Pittsburg and
Kansas today leading honorable, use
full, worthwhile lives, many of them

moments the world would pay homage
to his genius.
Ever Ministering to Poor.
The last paragraph of the report
1--WE write letters for the poor We
watch the people and keep them out
of trouble when possible"
It's we all through the report.
There isn't an "I' in it. But it's Mrs.
Macfarline and Mrs, Macfarlne alone
that is doing all these things-that
has done more, probably, during any
one month for years past . help and

MANY HEARTACHES
TEARS AND FEARS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Helpless And Fallen Shown to Have
Seer Aided by Feminine
Charity Worker.

Fttsburg, Kans., Sept. 3.--S!E pages
OF Eote paper, covered with plain,
terse, pencil-writing sentences and iig-
the four-month report
of Mrs, Sarah NJ, Macfarline, secretary
of the Associated Charities aud lIu-
indne Society; but to eyes thai see
and hearts that feel, these SIX pages
form the most inspiring human inter-
est document ever written in Pitts
burg.
For each line is blotted with the fears
and tears of the poor and weak each
page stained with the achings and
sufferings of the helpless and the hope
less; each word aglow with the mir
acle of hope and help wrought by one
woman who is literally walking in His
steps and toiling, body and heart aud
soul for His needy-the Clara Barton
of Pittsburg.
Report Tells Much.
Clothing given out during the four
months, 1880 pieces
"Loaves of bread, 461."
Baskets of provisions, CO."
Fruit and jelly to the sick, So cans. y
Those items meant good deal to
the people who received the food and
clothing, yet they are less significant
than this:
Visits to the poor and sick, 212.'
Mrs. Macfarline took food or medi-
cine, or both, on each of these visits,
but the food and medicine were the
least that she gave. What else she
gave only those whose desolate lives
Ishe has frightened can know, and they
cannot tell if they would.
Employment found for girls, 96p
The report doesn't say so, but many
of these girls were taken by Mrs.
Macfarline" from surrounding vicious
and degrading, or from environments
that would soon have robbed them of
their self-respect and perhaps more.
An Employment Bureau.
DAY work for women, ,95.r
Employment found for men, A."
Employment found for boys, 35"
Those three items alone represent
more work than is accomplished in
three months by many active employ
ment agencies, but they are only part
and relatively small part-of the
days work of this woman who helps
so many hundreds out of penury and
destitution into places where they have
opportunity to achieve prosperity and
plenty,
And then, buried at the foot of the
page Got medicine for sick people
also ice in summer, and fuel when they
needed it." And many, many things
all itemized, for sick bedsides."
Provided Is babies with outfits"
Found homes in private families
for children and few know how
well Mrs. Mac" must be satisfied o.
the character of a home before she
allows one of "her babies" to be taker

HE TOILED FOR LOVE

He did his best with all his might,
He labored on year after year,
And yet his world was seldom bright
The sky he viewed was seldom clear
He gave the best he had to give,
And merely won the right to live
He chung to hope; with purpose grim
He strove to win the worlds arp
plause;
But few men ever noticed him,
OR cared how dutiful he was.
With all the courage of the brave,
The best he had to give he gave
One day he learned to cease to care
For rich rewards or for applause;
He toiled for love, and then and there
The world found Out how great he
was;
For love OF what he did he struve
And straightway all his ventures
throVe.
