WASHINGTON LETTER.
ecemmnetesiall
(From Our Regalar Correspo..uen t.)
Wasuine Ton, Dec. 4th 1896.
The White House is about the only
places in Washington one can go now
without meeting one or more Senators
and Representatives. Secretary Olney,
has been overran with Congressional
~ callers, especially since the, circula n
of the rumor that he had a Short time
ago notified the government of Spain
- that this government intended to bring
oSgbout peace in Cuba if the revolution
Was not put down in three months, all
anxious to know the exact status of
Cuban, matters. Members of the Sen-
ate and House Foreign committees are
~ gaid to have received some definite in-
formation but to all the rest it was
statea in general terms that no imme"
diate change was contemplated in the
policy of the administration towards
, Cuba, and it is expected that the Presi-
dentTs message will treat the matter in
about the same style. The other mem-
pers of the Cabinet have also had
numerous Congressional callers, sume
on business for their constituents and
some merely to pay a friendly visit; but
President Cleveland has not had much
of his time taken up by them and is not
likely to have.
~The PresidentTs message is all ready
to be sent to Congress, and the usual
~precautions have been taken to prevent
its premature publication. If it be tair|
to judge from the lack of curiosity as to
the contents of that document this year,
those precautions were hardly necessary,
It will, ot course, be printed as a mat-
ter of news when it goes to Congress,
but itis doubtful whether an advance
copy of at could be sold to any paper in
the country, not because of the beliet
that it will be any less interesting than
«Mr. ClevelandTs previous messages, but
_ because of the knowledge that the situ-
ation in Congress $s such chat no mat-
- ter how wise or how important the
recommendations of the message may
- bethere is no possibility of their being
- earried out by legislation at the present
Sesto.
: There. are all classes of men in most
professions, but the increase of men
" who conduct their baéiness npon the
~preengoods manTs theory, that oa new
sucker is born every minute,� 1m the
_ ranks of the patent solicitors has arous-
ed the honorable patent lawyers to the
: necessity of taking some action that
will protect the inventors of the country
and their own profession from the
| degredation andT demoralization of the
omethods adopted to cajole money from
the pockets of the inventors without
any intention oot giving a- y equitable
--eturn therefor. Under present laws

- the business. In diber case: the
=| inventers and the honest. ~patent "
| would be gainers.
Speaking of the probability, that one
or more Senators may be asked to join
MeKinleyTs Cabinet a veteran Repub-
lican Senator said: oWell, everybody
must judge for themselves, but the Sen-
ator who has been in Gffice for more
than one term who is willing to enter
the Cabinet must ei-her have been blind
to what went on under his nose or im-
agine that he possesses the ability tv
| make his experience different from that
of other men who have tried the: same
thing. Many Senators have been per-
suaded into PresideatsT Cabinets, but 1} poss
donTt bclieve there was ever a single
one of them who did not regret it,
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who
has been mentioned as a cabinet pos-
sibility, aavs he would not leave the
Senate for any position in McKinleyTs
|gift. Lodge may not have a level head
on everything but on this subject he
has. There is nothing in official life,
except the Presidency, better than a
Senatorship.
There is alarm among the Repubji
cans over a report that oTeddy� Rose-
velt is tiring of his New York job and
wants to come oack t0 Washington as
Assistant Secretary of the Navy under
the McKinley administration. They
donTt want oTeddy� to come back to
Washington, but he has a knack of
getting what he wants, heace their
alarm, ~hey know what a wondertul
capacity oTeddy� has for _ stirring
things up and keeping them stirred up
They think the extra session of Con-
gress and other McKinley inflictions
will be trouble enough without oTeddy�
The newspaper men are a unit in de-
siring oTeddyTs� return to Washingtor

tion, as an all around copy"maker
readable copy, too"he beats the band,
as the yellow kid says.
Senator Cullom, the gentleman who
was a candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination because of a
fancied facial resemblance to Abraham
Lincoln and who has been omentioned�
for the cabinet, has set up as a financial
oracle. He said: oThe Republican
party will settle the silver question
within the next four years to the satis-
taction of everybody. When asked to
state how this wonderful settlement
was to be brought about the oracle
replied : oJust what plan will be fol~
jowed I cannot say, but I feel sure it
/ will be settled.� Now isnTt that con-
vincing ?
Pat, on looking over the list of
owants,� saw: oWanted a boy' to
open oysters fifteen years old.�
Pat-"Whin an oyster gets to
be fifteen years ould itTs toime he
was killed.
A Story of Forrest.
It is related of him that on the oc-
casion of his first voyage to Europe
he fell in with a number of clergy-
men who were going abroad fora
The clergymen were
greatly impressed with ForrestTs
ability and his remarkable intelli-
gence. Buta storm arose and the
great actor could restrain himself
no longer. He went up and down
the deck, stamping and swearing
and damning the'sea and all those
who were so foolish as to intrust
themselves to its care. Finally one
~of the ministers undertook to rebuke
Forrest for his profanity. ~~Well,�T
said Forrest, ~~your Master took a
sea Voyage once, according to tradi-
the boat he got out and walked, and
I wish I could imitate his example
~and do so now.�T After this the min-
isteys let the tragedian alone, con-
cluding that ~he was past praying
for.. ~Ryracuse Post.

The Fishing Fleets.
In many localities off the Scotch
coasts-and the coasts of Norway the
fishing grounds lie at some distance
from the shore, and the start must
be made with the ebb tide, some-
times in the middle of the night.
All the boats of a single locality
generally start together, and to one
unaccustomed to the sight the spec-
tacle of 200 to 300 fishing boats put-
mouth is a sight never to be forgot-
ten.

NEW YORKTS POSTOFFICE,
3 Every Working Day.
Despite the fact that a large por-
| tion of the mail received for this
city is delivered by the letter car-
Tiers at the addresses of the persons
to whom it may be sent, a great
number of letters and other mail are
still called for at the general post-
office. Consequently throughout the
day the main floor is a scene of
great activity.
Early in the morning may be seen
| clerks who obtain the mail for their
orespective firms in special pouches
or from the locked letter boxes;
others who have large numbers of
newspapers to receive, which they
take from the building in mail sacks
or carry in their arms, sometimes
tied into bundles with string, at
others loosely, to the danger of sama
portion of them, being dropped while
en route,
~Leer in the forenoon may be met
persons who have had their letters
addressed simply ~~New York City,
to be called for.TT A separate de-
~partment is kept for this class of
persons and divided alphabetically
with windows, at which letters, the
names of the addressees beginning
with ~~A. to K.,� oL. to R.� and ~8.
to Z.,TT may be received. Many for-
eign letters are often thus address-
ed, when the writers have not known
the addresses of the persons with
whom they are corresponding, ex-
cept that they live in New York.
When not marked oTo be called
for,TT an effort is made to find the ad-
dresses in the directory and have the
mail delivered by the letter carriers.
If this cannot be done, the letter is
kept at the'postoffice for a certain
time and if not called for is adver-
tised.
A separate window is kept for the
delivery of ~~advertised letters.TT
When strangers do not know how
to get or apply for their letters, one
of the uniformed attendants, who
are to be readily seen in this part of
the postoffice, generally directs
them. Sometimes, when the stranger
speaks a foreign language only, the
task is attended with very much
difficulty, but this may be overcome,
as there is a room on the mezzanine
floor where translators of all lan-
guages are located.
Many women have occasion to
vty | visit this part of the postoffice, both
to receive and mail letiers, and for
their accommodation a portion is
set apart as the ~~ladiesT window.�T
When this fact is known, it saves
them from having to get into line
with a number of men at the other
| are confused by the hurrying masses
purchasing stainps or recVivirigT let-
ters, and to any ordinary observer
it would appear somewhat surpris-
ing were he to notice the number of
well dressed women who frequent
this ~part of the postoffice main floor.
LaterT in the day may be seen
crowds of persons rushingT into the
postoffice for the purpose of mailing:
letters, Sometimes they are placed
in the drop boxes singly, at others
in bunches that can be grabbed in
the hand. When large numbers of
circulars are to be mailed, they are
handed in bulk through a window
to the clerk having charge of this
compartment, thereby saving one
handling inside the postoffice.
Yor the guidance of those who
have occasion to visit the postoffice
on business, swinging signs may be
seen giving oirections. to strangers,
but dezpite this arrangement many
met with, especially if they desire
to register a. letter. or purchase a
money order. The same. often vo-
curs when a registered letter is to
be received or a money order cashed,
as the departments for this purpose
are on the two floors next above the
main one,"New York Mail and Ex-
press. :
Advantage of Being Wicked.
Little Evelyn Jones went with hei
mother the other day to make,a call
upon a neighbor whose niece had
recently died.
In offering her condolences Mrs.
Jones said, among other things, that
~the good die young,TT and that it
seemed as if the bad and useless peo-
ple lived on indefinitely, while those
who were a real use in the world
were the first to be taken.
That night, when Evelyn was say
ing her prayers, her mother was
somewhat surprised to hear her de-
part from the usual form, and in
conclusion supplicate:
~Will you please make me a bad
and useless little girl, and maruma
and papa and little brother, too, so
we can go on living forever and
ever? Amen!TT"PearsonTs Weekly.
