The Parcel Post Hospital"

Another feature upon which postof.
fee department officials are putting
much thought is the parcel post hos.
pital," to correspond to the dead letter
office. One example OF an Office in
London is cited. A clerk had sixty-One
loose address labels and these were
the articles which had lost their adj
dresses: Ten geese, nine ducks, six
rabbits, four dolls, six boxes of cigars,
II tin trumpet, one ostrich feather,
two powder puts, one toy locomotive.
three Jars of jam, one plum cake, one
plum pudding, one w~heelbarrow, one
seed cake, one bottle OF gin and tive
bottles OF whisky-ffty articles and
sixty-one labels.
All trouble might have been avoided
had the public packed their articles in
diligently.
Express Rates to Be Changed.
The express companies are meeting
the rates in effect under the parcel post
law. They will compete for the par.
GELS that eome within the scope OF the
Bourne act. 1t is the purpose of the
express people TO try to hold their bust
ness In the towns and cities. They
cannot deliver their parcels In the ru-
raj districts.
IL the express companies cut their
rates to compete with the parcel post
law. starting with New York as a cen
trail point oil basis, the following re-
auctions must be made: From 2G
cents on a one. two or three pound
package, within fifty miles of New
York, 10 8, 8 or IL cents; from 80 cents
on a four or five pound package to II
or II cents, and from 35 cents on a
six, seven, eight. nine, ten or eleven
pound package TO 20. %. 20. 20. 30 or
80 cents.
Six pounds. about the medium weight
for a parcel, will be carried by the
postofice department 80 miles for 20
cents. 100 for 20, 200 or 800 for 80, 400
or 500 or GOO for 30 cents and 1000
for A. For the same service the ex.
press companies would charge: One
hundred miles for 80 cents, 200 for AZ.
OtV VI fVV hits iOt w. VOV uiltb lbi
So, 600 miles for GO. 200 or 500 OF 900
for 20 and 1000 for so.
The parcel post package cannot weigh
more than eleven pounds, but one can
send sixty-slx pounds In six packages
fifty miles for $500, for which the ex-
press companies charge s305. A com
parison of aggregates shows that the
express companies charge S51.50 for
what the parcel post will charge s3s.2S.
The parcel post rate reduction from
the present express charges Is 1857
per cent.
In order to meet the competition bet
ter the express companies Will increase
their delivery force and employ the
most modern equipment. The contest
Is TO be spirited.

"COSTUME RECITAL" GIVEN
Teyte and Clement Provide
Genuine Novelty.

Novelty in the concert world, as novelty
in the operate has ever it's advocates.
even Il in tho long run those things
tested by time wear best and truest. Yet
such an entertainment as Miss Maggie
Tcyte and " Edmond Clement afforded
Us in Aeolan Hall, Yesterday afternoon
f., none the less refreshing ~ all except
the most hardened csvillers.
The afternoon was announced "a de-
voted 10 Costume recital of'which the
latter half should be taken up with a
performances OF La L.sitiere de Tria-
non an opcrotts. music by Weckerlin,
ibretto by Baloppe dOnquaire. To the
eyes OF the audience the charming ar
rangement OF the stage. OF which the en-
tire back had been set out with rose
covered trcllis, was surely relief.
on one side was marble seat. and in
the centre "A little marble Cupid. and. sim
pie as were these settings the audience
found itself back IN the DAYS Of Jean
Jacques Rousseau-a feeling vastly in

stage dressed as a shepherd Of the period
and sang. with a grace and charm and
infinite nuance such as few possess. a
group OF old French songs. Ills interpre-
;ations OF "Tendres Souvenirs and Les
Files de Ia Rochelle were delightful be-
youd measure.
Then Miss Teyte. very pretty and
charming, in a large hat and pannier
gown, also OF the period. sang VOLTA lie

ton and delicate expression, If at times

After the intermission came the
operetta. delightfully."- naive yet arti-
fetal composition in the manner OF the
composers just previous 20 the French
Revolution. Miss Teyte was Nine. de
Lucienne and VI. Clement the Marquis de
Brunoy. who are betrothed 10 each other
though never having met. Nine. de Luz
cienne is appointed milkmaid TO Marie An
toinette al her toy dairy at Trlanon. and
here Brunoy meets her. lie falls in love
with her, though believing her a real
milkmaid. but, OF course. all ends as Il
should end in the best OF all impossible
worlds.
Mr.. Clement, both In action and in song
was the consummate artist he ever has
been In his own genre. and the little OPP
eretts was peculiarly Of that genre. Miss
Teyte again was charming, even II an
English. rather than a French. millsmaid.
However. in these days Of the entente
cordidlc this must be forgiven. All in all,
1t was a most delightful afternoon.
