DEFICIT IN POST
 OFFICE LOWERED
Nearly Three Million Less in l03S Than l937 Says
 Postmaster General

Washington, Dec. 28-(UP)-Post- master General Farley reported to- day that the postoffice department had a $43,811 ,556.O8 deficit during the 1888 fiscal year ended June 30.
 The deficit was $46,614,732.33 dur ing the 1887 fiscal year.
 "Non-postal" items such as air. mail subsidies and free service to congressman, government depart ments and blind persons, cost the government $48, 24,377.93, Farley said leaving the department pro- fit of $4,4l2,821.85 on strictly postal transactions.
 Farley reported that 1888 revenues of $728, ,634, ,05l.36 an all-time record and that postal expenditures were still far below 1880, the previous all- time high in this respect, notwith- standing the additional costs of the 4O-hour week law for postal employ es and maintenance of thousands of new federal postoffice buildings" Mail Planes Active
 Air mail planes, Farley said, flew 46,112, BOA miles-15 per cent more than in any previous year-while air mail volume was II per cent above the previous record. The depart ment'S regular air mail routes to- | tailed 33.655 in the United States and 30,240 in foreign countries. Far ley reported that air mail service was begun on four routes, seven routes were extended, g stops add ed, and the last single-motored mail plane was replaced.
 The department sold $515, ,2l0,- 445.08 worth of stamps and stamped paper. This was one per cent less than last year. but more than any other year since 1881.
 Farley reported Philatelic agency sales of stamps to collectors totaled $l, ,6S5, ,751.73, slightly below last years figure. The number on orders increased, however, and in- dicated Philatelic sales "has become a permanent and important part of the postal revenue" Farley said.

The officers reported that there were four customers in the place before the legal opening hour of g o'clock, and that the four were hav- ing drinks at the bar. The officers admitted today that they did not see any money being paid, but did see glasses of beer and empty whiskey glasses in front of the men.
 Questioned py his counsel, Attor- ney Thomas F. McGrath, Brown said that the four men included three American Brass Co. employees and his own helper.

Senator Egan
 Favors Change InPoiceCourt

Senator elect Edward P. Egan of the 18th district informed The Democrat this afternoon that he will introduce into the 1889 Gen. eral Assembly a bill reducing the number of prosecutors in the Waterbury city court from three to two. The fact that wages are now paid to three prosecutors, he says, causes an unnecessarily heavy" expense for the city.
 Senator -eIect Egan expresses the belief that his bill will pass if sufficient public interest is aroused.
 He made this announcement in the following communication to The Democrat:
 December 28, 1888. GcntIemen:-
 On the basis of inquiries which have made, I believe that the employment of three prosecutors in the City Court creates an un- necessarily heavy expense for the City of Waterbury. I shall intro- dGce a bill reducing the number to two. I. am announcing this intention i'm the belief that such a biil will pass if sufficient public interest in the subject is aroused.
 Very truly yours,
 EDWARD F. EGAN.

Veteran Officials Face Loss of Positions When New Governor Announces List of Appointments;

Regardless of the gestures made by Governor-elect Raymond E. Bald- win towards the operation of the merit system, it appeared that con- ferences being held in Hartford to- day to devise organizations of the state senate will have most bearing on what patronage the Republican, elect plans after January 4.
 At the behest of the governor elect, the Republican senators are meeting this afternoon ut the Hart ford club; the Democratic senators meet tonight at Hotel Bond. Demo- cratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith has concurred with the gov- ernor-elect's proposal for speedy or ganization of the senate but has opposed other measures projected by the incoming chief executive, such as joint committees.

seem to have special possibilities. The first is in the transfusion of blood when it is frequently neces- sary to keep the blood from coagu- lating as it is passed from one per- son to another; second, to prevent the clotting of the blood in various parts of the human body.
 Since this product was first dis covered attempts were made to use it for blood transfusions but difi- cultieS occurred because the product was not quite pure. Apparently the product when injected into the human body in pure form will def initely delay the clotting time of the blood so that blood may then be taken from such a person and transferred in a syringe into veins of another person without any harm to the donor and with the possibility of considerable benefit to the re- cipient of the blood.
 In the meantime laboratories throughout the world are making special studies of the use of this product to prevent clotting of blood vessels during operations, after operations and perhaps particularly in operations on the blood vessels themselves.
 Actually there is yet no certain proof that the use of this substance in the human body will prevent the formation of a blood clot. Obviously, if this effect could be accomplished. the result would be exceedingly use- full in cases of excessive clotting of those blood vessels of the heart which are responsible for many cases of death.
 Yet the promise is so great that studies are being made in many clinics to find out all possibilities. In some clinics the use of the prod uct is being restricted 70 those cases in which excessive surgical proceed ures have been carried out.
 Heparin is injected for varying periods up to14 days after the oper- ation. Samples are taken from the blood of the patient regularly to de- termine the rate of clottiug In some clinics it is reported that the has been exceedingly useful in preventing post-operative con- plications.
 It must be borne in mind. however, that under the circumstances 'ol- lowing injection of heparin, bleed- ing might be excessive, so that special attention has to be paid to the control of hemorrhage.

IcialiSt senators is the key to whether Governor -elect Baldwin will con- trol the senate so that any ap- pointments he may make will go through without difficulty. And the Socialists are reported to have demanded that one of them be ac- corded the important post of presi- dent pro tempore, acting, doubtless, on the direction of Mayor Jasper McLevy, Socialist candidate whose vote threw the November election into the Republicans side.
 The Democratic Senators number IT, the Republicans 16 and the lat- ter group undoubtedly will be tied up with the Socialist pair because the Republicans have the patronage to offer. But should the Republicans fail to accord the early favors sought by the Socialists, then the latter could block the governors appointments as a retaliatory meas ure.
 Face Loss of Jobs
 Thus, the jobs of such officials as State Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox, in office for the brief period since busting of John A Mcdonald, and many another can depend on the outcome of the con- ferences today. The governor-elect hopes for agreement between the Republican and Democratic senators tonight for expeditions organization of their body Jan. 4.
 But the jobs of such officials as State Police Commissioner Anthony Sunderland, whose term expires July 1, 1889, by the Governor Cross appointment, are in the balance. In this connection, the name of Hart ford County Detective Edward J. Hickey, assistant to Hartford County Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., has been mentioned as a possible suc- cessor to Commissioner Sutherland.
 Detective Hickey has been asso- ciated with the Alcorns for many years and Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., has been accorded best chance of serving as house leader in the Republican, dominated lower body of the in- coming General Assembly. Which would make things about right for Detective Hickey in the event the governor elect and the Socialists can reach an agreement on the senate set-up.

Trio to Reno Avoiddble

WHEN marriage is headed to-

five possible courses Of action,
says N. Horned Hart, professor
of social ethics, Hartford Theo-
logica4 Seminary.
You can acQuiesce ignobly
and take it, he points out in
April Good Housekeeping. You
can evade the situation cravenly
and run away like a coward.
You can attack vindictively and
get even. You can grapple cour.
ageoIsly alone. Or you can CO.
operate creatively by seeing the
situation from the view of all
people concerned, including the
rivals. and work out a solution
by good team work.
Ten ways to cooperate and
avoid a trip to Reno suggested
by Dr.. Hart are:
First: Abandon all feeling Of
resentment. Surrender grudges
and iealousies.
Second: Eliminate needless
irritautS. Stop criticizing your
mate. Avoid all situations which
make him or her feel inferior.
Third: Find ways to do new
joyful things together.
Fourth: Have children if you
possibly can.
Fifth: Understand your mate.
Sixth: Discuss your vital
family problems frankly, but
do not argue endlessly. Marriage
