At the recent annual dinner in New York of
the alumni of the Stevens institute of technology
an exhibition was given of the newly-invented
loud-talking telephone. Messages conveyed
through the instrument were clearly heard
throughout the big banquet room or the Hotel
Astor, even by slightly deaf persons. This new
invention will suf1ce to give some persons another
excuse for not attending ohurch-they can stay
at home and hear the sermon.

A Patriotic Committee.

We hardly imagine a more "nervy' action
than the effort of a number of the members or
mittee TO vote themselves, out of the commit
tee treasury, the necessary funds for jnnketing
trip for the inauguration March 4th For
pure and unaduterated effrontery commend us
to these patriotic Democrats. or course the
Democratic candidates who put up their
trance fees in. Richmond, in much larger
amounts than was necessary for actual ex-
pense, and the people generally, who placed
party purposes, would doubtless be delighted
to feel that they were hosts to the commit
teemen during the Inauguration festivities 1t
would doubtless rejoice one of those candidates
who put his money up with the committee and
then went down to defeat in the primaries to
stroll into the Raleigh the Willard and find
of these general committeeman passing the
surplus from his, the candidates, assessment
that counter which has a brass foot rail
attached. 1t would surely do his heart good
after spending fifty cents for a modest lunch
to watch his dollars go down the throats of
the junketers in the shape of creamed mush-
rooms, mallard duck and white seal
All of which is very WELL but unfortunately
for the committeeman who either too poor
too pencurious to pay their own expenses
there is certain public sentiment which ex-
kind of things attempted and which, with
the aid OF a number of the committee itself
will effectually. we believe, put a damper on
this nice little plan to spend the money of the
trust fund. of which the committee are trus-
tees They hold 1t for the benefit of the
"cestui que trust" which is the party, and they
have more moral or legal right to spend that
has to spend the money held by him, such.
As asked by one of the committeeman, what
good will the Democratic party derive from this
proposed junket?

most Of the money out Of the

be the easiest way Of getting

that a company needing a bonus

Some Parcel
Post Changes

Postmaster General Burleson
Monday made announ cement of
additional material and important
changes in the parcel post system
changes which will be welcomed
by the general public. Many pc.
titions have been received by the
government from associations of
business men and citizens general
ly in many cities asking that GER
tain changes be made in the sys-
tenn, and number Of the changes
asked for have now been decided
upon by the department.
Heretofore the parcel depart.
ment of the postotfice has only
handled packages up to eleven
pounds in weight, but it is now
proposed to handle parcels up to
20 pounds in weight in the first
and second zones. 1t is estimated
that about one-third Of all the par
Gel business of the government is
in these two zones, which cover a
distance Of about $50 miles. Other
changes include the abolition of
the rate map and the substitution
of rate chart. The government
will purchase automobiles for the
making of quick delivery in i'm
portant centers and reduction is
male in postal rates in the first
and second zones. These changes
are to be effective Aug. 18th.
Many of the petitions had asked
for an entire abolition Of the zone
system SO that parcels mSghtsbe
carried like letters for certain sum
irrespective of distance. This has
not been granted, but the tendency
OF the changes made seems to in
dicate an eventual abolition of the
zone system

1t is proposed that the boys 90 in

of the prizes, this belief being based
upon past performances, for many of
the other competitors would be those

Preliminary plans for raising the
funds are now in progress. 1t is pro-

some of the old-time players of the

to this game the boys of the team
would compete in their special events
