Th clerks that man Uncle Barn's travel
Inj postefflces are silent forces we fail
to reckon when we receive our mall morn
ing after morning with unfailing prompt
ness. They are among th most Import
ant links In the great chain of th givern
ment's mall service, and In order that we
may receive our friendly missives and our
business letters, threads that bring us In
touch with people and things hundreds of
miles away, In ord.T to draw the links of
communication closer, they conduct post
offices on the fast-flying trains, standing
ready to dispatch budget after budget as
they reach the stations and taking on and
sorting th new mail from each waysldo
station to quicken th service. To do this
Involves work under conditions of confu
sion and complexity, and demands a heavy
strain, day after day and night after night
Wherever a train wends Its way in th
thickly populated districts. In the most
deserted and dangerous part of the country
there roes along with It the mall clerk
precious. Important messages of the mall
pouches. With blm lies the most sacred of
trusts, for th letters that pass through
his hands are th heart throbs of a people
and the misplacing of on might mean the
snapping or straining of soma close tie.
The duties of the mall clerk demand con
stant vigilance. Many of the stations where
he must throw off the pouch with its price
less contents and .take the new mail, the
train puffs by without stopping and some
times these little places com as thickly
as five In a four-mil run, The pouch must
be thrown off at th rigkt second and the
bag from th station caurht by the Iron
mall-catcher which Is extended to lift It
from the mall crane alongside the track.
In the meantime th sorting of the mall
must go on within th car. No letter must
be slipped Into the wrong pigeonhole and
every pouch must be ready for its station.
All this keeps a clerk keyed to the highest
pitch. And he hss always staring him In
th face, the risk of wrecks, a risk almost
as great to the mall clerk as to the engi
neer and th fireman, for th mall car is
almost invariably next-door neighbor to the
engine and closest to th danger In case of
accident. Th mall clerk's run varies
greatly, but more often than otherwise it
Involves ten or fifteen hours a day, some
times as long as nineteen hours with hardly
a breathing space to rest. The strain Is
heavy and the six days of rest that come
after six days of steady work are none
too long for a man to recuperate and ret
back In trim for his work. Th average
run In a day Is 150 miles, sometimes It Is
three, four, even five end six times that
long. Where the run Is shorter the time
for recreation comes once every three,
every four or every five weeks, according
to the duties of th man. It is this time
of rest, the six days off, that allures many
a young man to enter the railway mall
service, ignorant of the hardships of the
work. Th six days do not always signify
that amount of recreation, because the mail
clerk. In order to keep up with the ex
aminations which he is constantly required
to stand, must do a great deal of studying.
Emerarcncy Work.
For three years after he enters the service
the mall clerk has to go over and over the
points required In order to become entirely
familiar with the 10,000 or 15,000 postofflces
he must know, the methods of supplying
them and ths various connections that
must be made in the deliveries. Then, too,
he is always liable to be called on for extra
duty in case of the absence of other clerks
or In times of extra heavy mall or delays
occasioned by wrecks, snow blockades,
floods or anything of the kind.
The work requires quick Intelligence and
a generous amount of physical endurance,
In recognition of which fact the govern
ment makes all applicants pass a severe
physical examination, requiring a man to be
not leas than five feet four in height and
not less than 126 pounds in weight and re
quiring him to b between the ages of 18
and 36 years.
The clerk of th railway postofflc begins
his duties several hours before his train
starts toward Its various destinations. He
must be on hand to receive the mall com
ing la from connecting lines, which has to
ba sorted to a certain extent before the
train pulls out; he must plac his label
slips in th pigeon hole case for letter dis
tribution snd hang up the pouches and
sacks In the iron raok, which keeps the
mouths of the bags open so the mall can
be easily thrown in. Frequently the train
starts before the preliminary work Is
finished and then thers Is a race to get th
mall sorted In time to deliver at the early
stops. Th object of th railway postofllce
is not only to deliver th mail carefully to
th various points and collect It, but to
lighten the work of th stationary post
ofllce by saving them so many distributions.
It Is an intermediary to combine the mall
from the small postofflces and to separate
th mall originating at the large postofflces,
economizing a wonderful amount of time.
Some time a mall is so unexpectedly heavy
that It Is Impossible for the clerks In th
car, by bending every energy to the task,
to attend to all the bundles. On one day's
run on the elghteen-hour train from New
York to Chicago there will be 24.000 letters
to handle, and the following day, for no
particular cause, there will be an Increase
to 40,000. The authorities not being able to
foresee the increase, no extra provision Is
made to handle the almost doubled amount,
snd the same clerks who attended to the
24.000 must attend to the 40,000. Perhaps by
straining and working at the highest pres
sure they manage to make all the stations;
perhaps some bundles have to be left to
the postofllce at the end of the run, causing
a delay In delivery, which is reported to
the head ofllce.
It is impossible for the men in charge to
forecast Just the amount of picture postals
th vacation travelers are going to shower
their friends with the following day. It Is
those picture postals that often add very
considerably to th work of the mail clerks,
to say nothing of th revenue In Uncle
Barn's striped pockets.
The Death Roll.
Ths danger of wrecks and tho possibil
ity of Injury is s subject the mall clerks
never discuss among themselves. A man
rarely ever confesses to feeling forebod
ing as he goes to his work, but he can
not get around th fact that the percent
age of fatalities and casualties in his
branch 'of work Is very high. Ther are
no government workers whose duty In
volves so much danger unless It Is the
men of th army and the navy during
time of war and In the life saving ser
vice. Some claim that the percentage of
killed and injured in th railway mall ser
vice Is greater than It Is in th army or
navy during times of peace snd war com
bined. From ths years 1390 to 1900 ther
were 1,003 casualties In the service, seventy
postal clerks killed and 613 seriously In
jured. Not long ago, when there was a
serious accident in which four mall clerks
were killed, it was stated that two out
Of th four had xpraeaed some premoni
tions of the danger ahead wf therg. Bom-

by the throat and he has to goad hlmtolf
to his duty. One on board the train and
In the thick of his work he gets over his
fears and fonrets them, but to most of
the men comes at ono time or another
the thought of the danger under which
they have to work. The liability to
wrecks Is not siways the danger most to
be reckoned with. Ther Is the tense strain
under which the work must be accom
plished, the vibration of the train that,
with the poor light obtainable, makes the
constant use of the mall clerk's eyes for
all sorts of handwritings on all kinds of
paper very Injurious to his eyesight; ther
are th unnaturally long hours that no
amount Of recreation can make upfor.
All this makes the service of the railway
mail clerk doubly valuable to all of us
for whom he works.
Leisure Hours.
Ther Is little leisure for the postal clerk
to guess at the contents of some of the
curious packages that pass through his
hands nor stop to think over some of the
strange and weird addresses on the let
ters he handles. Sometime he peeps Into
a box to see a half dozen lizards or hears
the squeaking of white mice, but he is
used to the unusual and hasn't time for
more than a hurried comment to his neigh
bor on the freaklness of human nature in
genera L When his work Is lightened, as
on a homeward Journey after a very heavy
run on the day before, he may steal time
now and then at stations for a glance out
of the postofllce door at the pretty face
of a village belle. In fact, many a time
the village belle learns the run of a par
ticular clerk and manages to happen at the
station to wave her hand and smile a
welcome to blm. But this Is not reckoned
among the regular duties of the postal
clerk. On his aptness tn flirting the gov
ernment falls to examine him.
It Is seventy years since the United
States has made use pf th railroads to
carry mall, the length of the' railway mall
routes then being seventy-elsrht miles all
told In contrast to the something like 300i-
000 miles of route at the present day. For
the first thirty years after the mail began
to be carried on the railroads the bags
were not opened en route, or If a mes
senger accompanied the malls he simply
asorted the packages of letters for the
local postofflces along the line of the rail
road, and all through mall going beyond
his, rout was dumped Into the terminal
postofflc to be held twelve or twenty-four
hours for examination and separation.
What a revolution In postal affairs when
the railway mall clerks sort over 13,000,000,-
000 pieces of mall matter In a year, thus
economizing an unreckonable amount of
time, facilitating business to a wonderful
degree and drawing a hundredfold closer
th thousands of separated friends and
members of families. Brooklyn Eagle.
CAN ok SERVE TWOMASTERS?
Movr th Questloa Looks as It Bumps
Aaralnst the Lawyer-States
man.
Senator Bailey of Texas says there Is no
reason why he should not act as a cor
poration lawyer while serving as a member
of congress. He may be right about this.
Many other senators have adopted his view
of the case. Still, It Is possible that a
senator who served as attorney for a big
railroad or oil company might now and
then find himself In an embarrassing situa
tion. If, for Instance, Senator Bailey were
the hired attorney for the D., W. ft M.
Railroad company, and that corporation
had wrongfully and unlawfully gained pos
session of valuable lands which properly
belonged to the government, that is to
say, the people of the United States, would
It be possible for him to fulfill the con
ditions of his oath of office and at the
same time serve the corporation to the
best of his ability
We might expect him, under such cir
cumstances, to take up the papers in the
cose and as he looked them over say to
himself:
"As an honest servant of the people It
Is my duty to do my best not only to have
these lands restored to the government,
but to secure th punishment of the vil
lains who stole them. But as attorney for
the railroad company I must remember
that my professional obligation Is sacred.
Her are papers which, if they were pre
sented In court, would bring about the Im
mediate conviction of the guilty parties.
As a public official, sworn to protect the
Interests of the people, I shall be recreant
to my trust If I fall to give the govern
ment the benefit of ths information which
I possess. Yet, on the other hand, the
ethics of my profession require that I pro
ceed at once to do everything I can to
protect my clients, therefore it is my duty
to keep these papers out of court and to
suppress the facts which they disclose. I
must not forget that the United States
pays m a salary as large as that of a
fair to middling base ball player, expect
ing In return undeviatlng loyalty and tho
exertion of my best efforts in the promo
tion of good government. Still, as attorney
for the railway company, my yearly salary
amounts to as much as that of a second
rate Jockey, or, I might say, is equal to
th share of a middleweight pugilist who
Is able to stay twenty-three rounds. Where
do I ret off? As a senator of the United
States I might compel myself as corpora
tion attorney to give up th papers, and
then as attorney for the railway company
I could seize and destroy them before I
had found an opportunity to present them
in court. Or as the legal adviser of the
corporation I might convince myself as
the servant of the people that the papers
were worthless. But while endeavoring to
do that I might inadvertently betray to
myself secrets which as a member of con
gress I would consider it my duty to lay
before th senate to tho end that the
rights of th people were upheld. Still,
to put the case another way but, con-,
found it, what's the use of bothering about
the matter? By having the whole thinr
put off for a few years everybody may for
get about It, and I've got to go and ste
about having myself re-elected anyway."

In South Africa candles are used for
lighting purposes in the homes, and when
a young Boer maiden has gentlemen vis
Aors. th mother sticks a pin In the candle,
and when It has burned to 'the pin the
callers understand that It Is time for their
departure.
Mrs. Early, a society matron of Wash
ington, recently made a visit to the Trans
vaal, and was so Impressed with the cus
tom of tho Boers that she determined to
Introduce It Into her own home. Conse
quently th electric lights were removed
and candles substituted In the drawing
room.
Mr. Btaylat. a frequent though not al
ways welcome caller, was one of the first
visitors to call after the inauguration of
the new custom. He witnessed the placing
of the pin in the candle by Mrs. Early, and
after she had gone ventured to Inquire:
"Why, Miss Early, does your mother stick
a pin in the candle?"
"Oh," responded th young woman with
an air of apparent Innocence, "mother

"It must be a fine thing to have a gallery
of ancestral portraits," said th man who
admires pedigree.
" Idon't know," answered Miss Ceyenne.
"Gallery ancestors are usually so red nosed
and sleepy eyed. When I look over our
own family album I'm Inclined to think
that plain, everyday grandparents are much
bet.er looking." Washington Star.

Advances la Cotton a Coopet
tho "atures of Market Hard
war Fair o Be 1114 la
Omaha la February.
Jobbers in almost every line, dry goods,
hardware, shoes, millinery and farm lm
pleiueius, report an increased trsde tor last
week. In only two lines, those of gjrooerles
and drugs, w.s there complaint ot a fall
ing oft, ihtse cond.tlons were due to In
Ak-Sar-Ben carnival, the large trade In
tiianv lim a hrlnir due to the fnct that hun
dred of retauers were In the city, and th
. decrease In the other lines to th tram
fact, for In these lines tho houso trad
is never of any size, and with many ot
the retailers away from their places of
I business the orders do not com in. The
Joip..i,k houfcs of the city were filled with
country merchants all wees.
The maiset remains practically un
changed on hoots and shoes. The hide
market and the leather market are firm,
with a fair demand for good stocks. Th
prices are about tho highest ever known
and it is believed that leather can go no
higher-not for a while at least. Some be
lated buyers were calling on Omaha sho
Jobbers this week and placed fairly good
oruers. About all fall and winter orders
have been filled. Salesmen are now out
with spring stuff snd are booking very
good orders for 1907 business.
Hardware Fair for Omaha.
All metal hardware articles continue tn
their upward trend and several advancss
were noud for the week. Copper keeps
advancing and consequently all hardware
containing copper la going skyward. Some
mont lis ago copper Ingot was offered at
13 cents, but now It Is sold at 19 cents.
Nails nnd barbed wire are firm at the re
cently named hishcr prices. The hardware
houses were busy all week with visitor
and a largo amount of trade was reported.
A hardware exposition, the first thing
of Its kind In Omaha, has been announced
for February 4, 6, 6 and 7 at the Audi
torium. It will be held under the manage
ment of the Nebraska Retail Hardware
Dealers' association, which will meet lit
annual convention in Omaha February I
to 7, Inclusive. The secretary of the asso
ciation is now In correspondence with hun
dreds of manufacturers all over the United
State nnd tho early replies indicate that
tiiere will be exhibits from almost every
state from New York to California.
Cotton Takes Jump Cpwsrd.
A Jump early In the week of l'4j cents a
fiound on cotton is a teplu of great Interest
n the dry goods market, nnd the prospect
of a further advance keeps the Jobooro on
I the anxious seat. The advance ls said to
have been due to. tha recent storm In th
south, which swept several states and did
great damage to the cotton crop. Full re
ports have not been received, but the news
so far Indicates a probability of a damage
of iO to zo per cent, it mis proves tru
it means that higher rrlces will rule until
ncxt year-. crop ls harvested. Advances
,iavo Dc,,n named on cheviots, muslins.
denims, wide sheeting and tickings. Sem
of the desirable qualities of liueas are hard
to get and deliveries are not assured until
the first of the year. In fact the greatest
trouble of the Jobber now ls to get goods
enough to ship to tho retail trsde. Houso
trade has been good. Narrow print goods
have been moving well and fate buyers
have been placing rood orders for woolen
goods.
The glass market remains firm and th
demand Is very good. Plate class Is very
firm and the prospects favor higher rrlces.
Turpentine ls up again, now being quoted
at 72 cents. Lead ecs are unchanged.
i " , ... ' j Vir .',". ik. .
last week, boiled being 38 cei ', while raw
is 36 cents, 'ihe demand for paint ls very
good.
With tho Grocery World,
Sugar, both raw and refined, is unchanged
In price, thrmgh the tene is easier, due to
the much lighter demand of the last few
days. Tho general situation, however, is
said to bo strong and the market ls re
garded as very uncertain. ,
Coffee is a trifle higher than a week ago.
Receipts of coffees from Brazil are in ex
cess of a year ago, but this is not taken
as a sign that prices will be lower. On
the other hand, they are expected to be
higher. All coffee buyers are anxiously
watching the Brazilian government and
Brazilian coffee holders to see what they
will do.
Again tomatoes have com In for a largo
share of attention. Under heavy demand,
Indiana have been advanced to (1 per dozen
by many holders and few goods are ob
pacKers have also advanoed 10 cents per
tainable at any less man mat. Missouri
oozen ana mere is not nine omainaiue un-
ser these fhritreo. On the basis of present
cost tomatoes ought to be held by the Job-
bers at about tl.'M per dozen for stand
ards.
Judging from prices recently made by
some of the heavy packers it would appear
that oysters ordinarily sold at 10 cents per
tin would soon become a 12Mi-cent article.
Almost every item of cost has been greatly
advanced since last season and help ha
been very difficult to secure.
Cunned corn ami peas are wlthoi t ma
terial change, being- held about as they
have been. There ls too wide a spread be
tween canned corn and the price of peas
and tomatoes and with the comparatively
small pack made In the, west this season
it would look as if there were abundant
opportunity and reason for an advance in
corn.
There ls a decided upward movement in
ored not only by nlavy de-
mand, but also because of the shrinkage In
available supplies and the fact that. It is
going to be practically Impossible to make
early shipments as contracted. ,
Raisins are held with Increasing firmness!
in fact, all dried fruits, with a possible ex.
ceptlon of apples, are In very strong posi
tion. '
The rice market unchanged. New Japs
are not yet available.
ARCHB. IRELAND'S CATHEDRAL
Imposlus Cburch Building- to B
Roared on the nelgbts at
St. Paul.
The plans for Archbishop Ireland's new
cathedral, to be erected in toe diocesan city
of St. Paul, Minn., have been made public
The location on Bt, Paul's most beautiful
street. Summit Avenue, and at the very
crest ot Selby Hill, assures for It one of
the most commanding sites occupied by
any church edifice, in America, second only
to that of the new cathedral of Bt. John
the Divine on Mornlngslde Heights. Th
cathedral itself, which will be constructed
after plans by E. L. Masqueray, will b
among the notable churches of the world.
In general the plan will be that of a Greek
cross; lu main feature will be the great
dome, comparable in size to that of BU
Paul's In London, which will rise at th
Intersection of the r.avo and the transept.
About the central dome have lieen grouped,
the secondary feature of the building,
which Kiva unity to the entire structure.
The dome will have an outside diameter
of 1J0 feet, und will be surmounted by
cross that will tower high above Its apex.
The building will be 176 feet high to th
base of the dome, and 280 feet to the top
of the cross. It will be 214 feet wide In
Its widest part, and 274 feet long. Tb
front portico, flanked by two square tow
ers, will have a breadth of HO feet.
The auditorium will have a special seat
ing capacity of 4.0u0, and no pillars or
columns will obstruct tha view in th
sanctuary. The latter, located In the apse.
will be surrounded with beautiful marble
columns, outside of which will run an
ambulatorlum. and beyond which will b
located the several chapels. These
chapels will be six In number and
mill be known as the "chapels of
the nation." Each will be named after
some saint of the six nations which hav
contributed most largely to the settlement
if the upper Mississippi valley, and eaca
will contain a shrine where the communi
cants of the different nationalities may
.vorthlp. The transept will contain two
chapels, dedicated to St. Peter and BU
Paul, the missionary saints of ths early
church. Within the belfries of ths two
towers on either side of the front entrance )
her will be musical clock chimes. Th ,
"ontracts call for ths completion of th
vructure In five year
