W. F. DELANEY's TROUBLES.
Things the New Postmaster Has to Worry About in P. O. Management.

Postmaster W. r. Delaney has be- gun a study of the details of postof- fee management and has found a number of things in regard to which the public needs enlightenment.
 In the first place, many persons are sending typewriter or carbon letters unsealed and with one-cent stamp, whereas it is first class matter and requires two-cent stamp. Only in the case of mechanical copies can let ters be sent unsealed for one cent and then the letters must be mailed twen- ty or more at time at designated Repositories
 MT. Delaney is also having trouble with chain letters. Insufficient post age is put on these and he regards it as an imposition to have the person addressed send postage to pay the diff ference.
 There is now no two-cent postal rate to Germany. The two-cent rate is only for letters to the British Isles. Parcel post service to Italy has been discontinued by the government
