By a Stereopticon, Secretary Stacey

Will Show the Benefits of Y. M. C. A. Building.

The free exhibition of from 050 to

500 stereopticon pictures of Y. M. C. A. work next Monday night is for the

general public, particularly adults and especially men. It. will be given at the First M. E. church, Main street. to have the advantage of the splendid lantern in that large audience room.

This special exhibition will show

conclusively all phases of Y. M. C. A. work and reveal what it does for all men and boys and especially how it relates itself to the business of a city

and the business men.

A right idea of the Y. M. C. A. could

not be more vividly obtained than by sitting before this large collection of pictures as they come in panoramic

view upon the screens. State Secre

tary E. E. Stacy has spent much time

and money in getting this collection

together.

HAGERST0WN CONFIDENT

Attorney Joshua Allen Thinks that the Little City Will Get Traction Connection.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.

Attorney J. II. Allen, of Hagerstown, while in the city Wednesday stated that the Hagerstown people are positive that within a year the town would be connected by traction line with Richmond and New Castle. Mr. Allen stated that at the present time a corps of engineers of the Indianapolis, New Castle & Toledo traction company is surveying north of Hagerstown for a branch line of the road to be run from New Castle to Richmond. Making Careful Survey. "They are making a most careful survey," stated Mr. Allen, "and this is the reason Hagerstown people are sure they will soon have a traction line. This corps will survey . a proposed Hue, then retrace its steps and survey another route for the purpose of getting a line which will be the most satisfactory. Two lines through Hagerstown have already been surveyed. No Right-of-Way Yet.

Mr

has not yet begun to buy up its right-of-way between New Castle and Hagerstown and probably will not do so until the surveying corps completes its work. After a satisfactory line between New Castle and Hagerstown has been secured the surveyors will begin their work surveying a line from Hagerstown to Richmond.

May Run Special. On Wednesday, Prof. D. R. Ellabarger met with two officials of the C. C. & L. railroad on business relating to the trip from here to the Jamestown fair. The officials seemed unable to give Prof. Ellabarger any especial offer for a number of people, but stated that if the Richmond contingent

would agree to go with the Muncie high school, It would probably be possible to give the party a special train on condition that Muncie raise a crowd of one hundred, and Richmond one of fifty or seventy-five. It is not known what will be done about the matter. It is thought, however, that an agreement will be met with in some form or other as there is a num

POSTOFFICE EMPLOYES ARE III HAPPY SPIRITS Majority of Them Will Get Increased Pay.

FIRST ADVANCE SINCE '85

Local postofflce employes are con gTatulatlng themselves on being par ticularly blessed by the recent postal laws passed by the national senate and house, in that it increases all the salaries $230 per year. As the majority of local carriers and clerks hava

been in the sen Ice. of Uncle Sam for more than five years, and were therefore drawing the maximum salary, they will now get $1,100 per year when tho law goes into effect -uly 1. All

carriers and clerks will iv? benefited

but salaries will be pororned by th

length of scrvieo in the istoffic work. According to tl.e new rule a clerk or carrier sorting one year will receive the salary of $000; two jears, $S00i three years, $SM"; four )tar, $1,000, and five years. $1,1 On pr annum. Heretofore the highest salary

ever drawn by either clerk or carrier was $SDo.

First Since 1885. it is an interesting thing to nolo

that this rt'Conimeuded increase is the

first that has been authorised by the United States government ince 1SS..

A local carrier laughingly remarked that he had been In tho service sever

al years more than five, and had long

waited the increase and was always figuring on it, but it was always au

unknown quantity.

By the new law the Richmond rot

office will Ik placed In the first class as the yearly receipts will go considerably beyond the $40,000 mark required by the law. All cities doing

business below that figure will bo

placed In the second class.

' Can Exchange Duties. By a rule which meets with great

favor iu the local office, the carriers

and clerks can exchange duties if they so desire, the carrier doing service in the office and the clerk taking

the carrier's run, where the salaries of

the two are the same.

Carriers and clerks, in the local of

fice, who having served more thau

five ears, will receive $200 dollars more per annum than will the rural

carriers, and at the same time l lie rural carriers have to furnish their own transportation as well as other working materials.

A great picnic is being agitated In he local office that the employes may

properly 'celebrate tho Increase whei

it takes effect July 1.

TO IMPROVE THE LINKS

Country Club to Prepare for the Re

vival Thought to Be Coming In Game of Golf.

About the first of next mouth work

will begin on Improving the golf links

at the Richmond Country club. Threo

ears ago the club secured a largo

strip of land to the west of the club

house and adjoining the present course, but this land has never bfeu Improved and made a part of tho course. Tho first of this year thw members of the greens commltteo planned to ininove th's pro id n'ul add It to the course, which would make the local links about, the longest nno hole course in the tate, but latei it was decided by the coinmlttoe not to make this Improvement 'the coming season owing to the expesisf. Consequently the course a ill remain about the same this season as It was hist year. Revival in Interest Probsble. This season promises to see a revival In the itopularlty of golf in Richmond. l.ast year interest In the rport was somewhat lax. The membership of the club is filled to the muxtmum, 250, and there is a large waiting list. Tennis at the club promises to bo as popular as It was last year.
