Too Busy to Work.

Edward D. Easton, who claims that
he made the largest single fee of any
shorthand reporter in the world when
he collected $4,000 from the lawyers
in the famous star route trials. was
sent to report an important hearing in
a small southern town. The work was
so pressing that he found he needed
an assistant who could typewrite.
Searching for such a person, he sent
out messages, advertised in the country
papers and made desperate appeals
for somebody to locate the man.
He waited at his hotel all day with
out a sign of an assistant and went
to bed that night extremely worried
because his work depended absolutely
on his getting some one to help him.
Shortly after midnight he was aroused
by knock at the door.
81 am the man you want" said the
stranger. Il am the only typewriter in
this part Of the state, and
well" exclaimed Easton eagerly.
"can you come to work tomorrow
morning."

tisement saying you wanted a type

SEA POSTOFFlCES.

Ssundiins and Sorting tho Matt Matter
on Ocean Liners.
Every one II aware that large guam
ttty Of mail comes from Europe. Prob
ably most persons assume that it is
dumped of the steamers in bulk and
sorted and routed in the postoface Of
the receiving port Such system
would result in hopeless congestion.
and practically all Of the 15,000.oOO
pounds Of foreign mail matter receiv-
ed at New York on an average Of re-
cent years is ready. sorted and sacked
when the steamers make port. This
work IL done in the sea postofices
aboard the ships and means days
saved in the time Of delivery of mail
matter intended for inland points.
In the huge mass Of mail brought
into New York each year there are on
an average 10000. 900 separate pieces.
many thousands with inadequate ad-
dresses, yet to such degree Of eff1-
cheney has the operation Of the sea
postonices been brought and SO care
fully Is the work done that less than
300 errors are made annually. As the
entire quantity Of the ocean mail re-
ceived in a year would ill 200 stand

curacy is indicated-less than one er-
TOR Of any kind whatever for every
four carloads Of mail
Congress authorized the sorting Of
mail on board conveying steamships in
1880. but it was not until the year fol-
lowing that any systematic effort was
made to do so. The work Of the sea
postofice IL very similar to that Of the
railway mail service. On board a
large liner there will be usually two
United States clerks, two in the en-
ploy of the country from which the
steamer sails and several subaltsrns
or porters. This force will on an aver
age trip open and sort from 800 to 900
sacks Of mail. probably consisting Of
100000 ordinary letters and 1000 reg
astered letters. besides 250.OOO par
GELS and periodicals. Mail for New
York city Is distributed and separate
ly sacked for each of the stations and
that for the United States generally
according to a schedule which has 12S
divisions. In addition to the mail for
the United States. the sea postofics
clerks must sort that destined for Gu.
ba. Mexico, Canada and the orient. a
great deal of the last class being for
warded by rail to San Francisco and
thence by steamer.
To facilitate matters two mail boats
are maintained at New York, and these
meet incoming steamers at the quar-
antine station. one taking on the mail
bags intended for direct delivery to
trains and steaming directly to the
railway stations along the river front.
the other that for New York city and
such others as require rehandung. The
sea postoffices cost the government
something less than 100000 per an

Advice for the Minister.

In preaching, the minister had
been rather long-winded, when
a young bride remembered that
she had left the dinner in the
gas range without regulating the
flame. She hastily wrote note
and slipped it to her husband,
who was an usher He, thinking
it was intended for the minister,
calmly walked up and laid it on
the pulpit. The minister paused
in the midst of his sermon and
took the note with smile, which
changed into a terrific frown as
he read:
"Please hurry home and shut
off the gas"

Senator Walker.

Senator Walkers friends aud
supporters are shocked, grieved
and disappointed at the stand
taken by him in the organization
of the Senate. They expected
and had right to expect of him
to line up with the Democrats,
the party that put him in office,
and ato stand Loyalty by the
the standards and platform of
the party that gave him political
existence.
We do not believe that Mr.
Walker contemplates abandon
ing his party but that be merely
failed to recognize the Importance
of his vote in the organization of
the Senate and that he will be
found lined up with his party
hereafter on all questions. Mr..
Walker is a democrat and a man
who will not forsake his party
and bring grief, shame and dis
appointment to his supporters.
We confidently predict that he
will resent the jeers and sneers
with which fuslonists are now
daunting hissfriends, by lining NJ
with the democratt for good gov
eminent hereafter.
Mr.. Walker only missed his
bearings and we ask all his
friends to withhold censure aDG
to give him a chance to find his
bearings and get on his fightlne
clothes.

Stamping Out Plague in Havana.

Bu5onic Plague BLACK Death)
broke out last summer in Havana
several cases developing before
its presence was known. Three
years ago, such an occurrence
would have been followed by a
fearful outburst of plague, which
would have killed from one quar-
ter to one third of the people,
the only remedy for which would
have been charms and incanta-
tions. If this had occurred any
time before the Spanish Ameri-
can War, when HAVANA was
under Spanish rule, an epidemic
of months duration would prob
ably have followed. But it is
known now that plague is carried
b. the rat and flea. Havana is
now a modern city with paved
streets and all adequate sewer
sy stem. Best of all, the health
officer, DR.. Jaun Guiteras, is well
known scientific authority on
tropical disease. No time was
wasted in professions charms or
| relics. Havana was cleaned up
