MUST PROVIDE

SUES AN ORDER AND IF SER
VICE is DESIRED PATRONS
MUST PROVIDE BOXES.

A notification that they must pro
front doors will be issued by Assist
ant. Postmaster Roege to all patrons
of the carrier delivery service who
have heretofore made a practice of
requiring that carriers deliver their
mail at rear or side doors Of resi-
dences or places of businesses.
For Betterment Of Service.
In a letter in which the order was
contained the First Assistant Post
master General explained that the
new order is designed entirely to I'M
prove the service by curtailing the
street time of the carriers as much as
possible. The order, If carried out,
it is believed, will aid greatly IN max
ing this Improvement.
The order is as follows:
"It has come to the knowledge of
the department that in many cities
the street time of the carriers is ma
tcriaHy increased by delivering mail
al The rear or side doors of residences
and places Of business. IF this is the
practice at your office you should noti-
fly the patrons affected that after sixty
days they must provide means for the
receipt of their mail at the front
doors Suggest that this means may
be in the form of either a slot in the
door or an ordinary house box.
Your attention is called to section
SIS, Postal Laws and Regulations, and
you are informed that it is desired that
postmasters renew from time to time
the efforts heretofore made to secure
the general use of private mail re-
ceptacles for mail delivered by letter
carriers.
Will Save Tirs.
Experience has shown us that the
complete equipment Of the dwellings
on a carriers route with small recCp-
tacles will effect a saving in the car
rier's time Of from a half hour to IN
hour,which y viii obviate the curtaiI
ment Of deliveries on heavy days and
by readjustment of routes afford re-
lief where needed"
The order was accompanied by
circular addressed to the patrons of
the postoffiCe carrier delivery service,
calling the attention Of the patrons 10
the benefits to be derived from the
use of private mail receptacles. It is
pointed out in this circular that such
receptables, in the form of a box or
a slot in the door, obviate the neces-
sity of the patrons responding to the
carriers call at the door at incon-
venient moments, permit the safe de-
livery of mail at all times and con-
tribute materially to the efficiency of
the service.
Postmaster Roege will not require
that the patrons use boxes or slots in
the doors for the receipt of mail, but
re will require that after sixty days
those patrons who have made it nee
esary for the carriers to deliver mail
at rear or side doors provide some
method by which the mail may be de-
livered at the front door or most ac-
ce6sible entrance from the street to
the building.

be better imagined than described, per-

curtain falls all is happiness and peace.
The play is enlivened in a number of
places by band of pickanfnnies who
dance and enjoy themselves generally
and who, as the "Woodlawn Wang

musical numbers.
William Hedge as Lawson Scntt Moore

one made himself more popular with
the audience. probably, than did James
Cooper as the jolly Col. Sandusky Doc

Glassford as Holton received a proper
amount of hatred for his portrayal of
the Williams role. Alice Andres as Ala
thea Layson, loved for twenty years by
the colonel, was charming, and Leonora
Arrest did well in the rather difficult
portrayal of Barbara Holton.
The production is well staged and
presents number of spectacular scenes.

Belasco.

THE Family Cupboard play in four
acts by one of Americas most prolific
stage writer's. Owen Davis, was present
ed at the Belasco Theater for. the first
time in Washington last night by William
\. Brady. The abundant me'odrama
IS agreeably lightened by comedy which
has been so cunningly devised that it
actually seems a natural complement.
This comedy deals with. the world-old
story OF the husband and wife who have
grown apart in their SUCCESSIVE in bust
ness. she in society-and the sudden dis
covery of his maintenance of separate
establishment. The other woman, when
cast off, attempts to obtain revenge by
making conquest of the son. She is on the
point of marrying the boy. so anxious is
she for revenge on the father for casting
her aside. but her courage fails her. The
play contains some good lines tending to
show that even a bad woman may not be
all bad. The danger of the son, who is
about to kill himself when he learns the
character of the woman he was about to
marry, his fathers part in her degrada-
ton and the 'rottenness of life" as he
calls this secret in the family cupboard,
reunites the husband and wife.
There is. some very. plain speaking.
The play is not one for the diversion
of youthful auditors. Grown-ups will
find In 1t. perhaps, the moral that on
the children are visited the sins of the
fathers. An especially entertaining
character is portrayed by Francklyn Ar
dell. 1t is that of Dick LIE Roy, yaude-
william with philosophy of his own
toward life and the ethics of the pro-
fession of Kitty May (played by Miss
Irene RomainJ. which is that of entang
ling men for the sake of money.

she portrays, is the most interesting
