FIRST INQUIRY OF KIND

Local post office officials participated
city post office yesterday to ascertain
the actual cost Of handling the various
classes of mail including the first class
letter mail and parcel post matter.
For the first time this work is actu-
ally being performed at post office in
full blast. From now on similar tests
will be made at all the larger post
offices of the country. including the
is being carried on for the joint con-
gressional commission on the postal
service.
Tests Begun Yesterday.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Henderson. Chief Inspector Rush Sim
mons and Supt. of Post Offices Spilman
We're among officials from the Post
Office Department who participated in
the tests. Officials of the Washington
city post Office who made the journey
were Assistant Postmaster Haycock
and Supt. Sillers.
The tests at Baltimore consist of
weighing the several classes of mail as
it comes into and goes out of the office.
counting the pisces of mail Of each
class and recording of the revenues
received. Similar estimates will be
made at all the larger offices of the
country.
From the data collected comparative
costs of the various classes of mail
will be computed. on a strictly scientific
basis, so that the postal service, for the
first time in it's history, will be enabled
to show the exact cost of handling the
various classes.
Data of Special Benefit.
This data once in hand. it will be
simple for the Post Office Depa rtment
to figure out which class of mail is be-
ing carried at less than cost. or which
class might be carried at a lower cost
1t is believed in some quarters at pres
ent that parcel post rates probably
should be raised and perhaps first
class letter mail rates lowered.

We have in our midst.
A man who has a remarkable re-
cord in many ways. A druggist par eX-
callence, as it were. He is the only
surviving member of the original
Board of Pharmacy, appointed by
FitZhugh Lee when the latter was
Governor of Virginia. He is one of
three surviving members of the ORR
ginal Pharmaceutical Association of
Virginia. He is the Oldest man in the
retail drug business in Virginia. He
has filed prescriptions for sixty-two
years. He opens his store early in the
morning and closes it late at night,
as all successful druggists must do.
He is the father and the grandfather
of his firm, for the store in which he
serves the public has the record OF
being the only one in the State of Nir-
GINA in which three generations of
registered druggists are on duty at
the same time--fathcr, son and grand
son, all registered druggists and all
members Of the Virginia Pharmaccu-
tical Association.
Mr.. Warfield has for years been the
Adjutant of Robert +. Lee Camp,
United Confederate Veterans of Alex
andria, and his record in the war be-
tween the States is also unique.
When war was declared, Mr.. War
field, mere boy, being fired with the
spirit of patriotism as all boys are in
times of war, conspired with Frank
Wise to raise a military company.
Each of the two, in ways more or less
devious, managed to raise the sum of
twenty-five cents, and with the fifty
cents in this community fund, they in
serted an advertisement in the Alex
andria Gazette, calling on all who
wished to become members of their
company to meet in hall on King
street. The net result Of their appeal
was an attendance of about four boys.
Not at all daunted by this first fail
ure, they inserted another advertise
ment, which bore fruit to the extent
that the company known as the Old
Dominion Rifles was formed, with NJ.
D. Corse as captain.
After the company had been formed
a major inspector was sent here from
Richmond to muster it into the Con-
federate service. As the major made
his rounds, the men being drawn up in
formation, he beckoned some five or
six to step out from the ranks, Mr..
Walficld being one of these. Mr.. War
field asked Captain Corse the reason
for his being taken from the ranks,
and the captain, not being able to
answer the question, asked the major
Inspector, who replied that these men

| will this May have been in bust
ness sixty-two years. There are now
three generations of Warfields mem

Warfield, Jr., Edgar Ashby Warfield,
(GrarGson) and myself.
In the year 1897 | was again ap-
pointed . member Of the board OF
Pharmacy by Governor Chas /.
O'Fcrrall and retired 1t the end OF
my five year term.
At the closing session OF the Board
Of Pharmacy Of Virginia, held March
2, 1902 on my retiring from the board,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
"WHEREAS, Edgar Warfie!d, esq.
Of the City Of Alexandria, is about to

and useful membership OF many years,

long existed.
RESOLVED, That Mr.. Warfcld in
his retirement carries with him the
personal regards and esteem OF each
member of this board and their best
wishes for his future welfare ana pros
perity.
RESOLVED, further, that copy
of the resolutions be transmitted to

States:
Taking into view the mutual
interest which the U. States and

extensive changes favorable
thereto which have recently
taken place: taking into view
also the important advantages
which may otherwise result from
adapting the state Of our COM

recommend to the considera-
ton of Congress the expediency
of authorizing after certain

and in vessels owned and navi-
gated by the subjects Of powers
at peace with them; and re-

Mr.. Warfield protested against his

and the major, much amused, told the
