Hammond Post Office By drection ef the Post Office Depart
ment, the attention of patron of this office is invited to the advantages of providing fa
cilities for the receipt of their mail by erect
ing conveniently accessible boxes or cutting
suitable slots In their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a
prompter and better delivery service with
the means at his disposal, since the carriers
can cover much more territory in less time
If not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mall ae also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mall In the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity o a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living or
or near the end of the route at an earlier
hour.
It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city
delivery from' the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office Is interested In furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your
compliance with the foregoing suggestions
will be much appreciated. Respectfully, i Ff R. SCHAAF, Postmaster.
The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postofflce Department. They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and f are recommended by the Postmaster. One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one payirig one year's subscription in advance, OR a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OR you can secure one of these boxes by cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office one (1) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents. These MAIL BOXES are the very best made and -cannot be purchased elsewhere at les3 than One Dollar each. We shall be glad to have you come up and look at them. You will be surprised. "". ;

These were the answers Johnson
made to a signed statement of former
Champion Jim Corbett to the effect that
Johnson was the luckiest of champions,
that he was dodging fights with the
best of the present day "heavyweights, that he was a man of doubtful cour
age, and that he was hogging It by de
manding $30,000 for his end of a purse
for a. world's championship.
The above revelations of alleged high
finance In pugilism, overshadow any
recent sc homes for framing fights. The dusky champion not only accused Corbett of trying to get him to participate
in a fake, but tore a few of the bouquet off the record of Sullivan's conqueror.
"I have stood for many attacks on
my method of conducting my business, said Johnson, "but why should Jim Corbett attack me as he has. Who is

to give the local entrants practice for the tournament. '
