They will be allowed 25 cents foa. each voucher and the order is expected to prove popular both with the carriers and those who are benefited by the pension. The order was made oy first assistant postmaster general, Granfield of Washington, D. C. The popularity of the order win lie In the fact that farmers will not have to go to a notary public or any other authority, as has been the necessity. The order becomes effective at once.

SHOW CROWDS 111 LONDON ORDERLY Great Masses of People Con

gregate to Secure Seats V in the Pit. " . . r - . POLICE HAVE NO TROUBLE ORDERLY AND WELL DRESSED PEOPLE BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE AT 5 O'CLOCK IN """THE AFTERNOON TO GET TICKETS. In the better London theaters It ;osts 2a. d- ty go lot the pit. which, relatively speaking, la a good sum to pay. for a half dollar in New York !snt much better tbao u shilling in London when It come to purchasing value. ' The pit crowd begins to assemble aa early as 3 o'clock in the afternoon and in caws fit a great success even earlier than that. My first experience as a pittite occurred in London one summer night two yearn, ago. nrbeu. after vain efforts to buy. borrow, beg or steal stalls for a popular play, writes Adolpb Kiauber in the Green Book, I finally decided to see it from the pit. When I arrived at the theater, about 5 o'clock one Saturday afternoon, 1 found there was already a long line of men and boys and women, the foremost with face glued to the pit door and the line extending far beyond the narrow passageway to the street in front of the theater. Now. with every desire in the eWorld to send my New York constituency some news of this great reigning success and not without some curiosity of my own I was still far from willing to cool my heels for the best part of three hours until the doors should open. I turned and found a tiewsboy at my elbow. . "I'll 'old your place for you. sir. ho repeated. "What time '11 you be back?" It was then that 1 discovered for the first time thU. London institution, the place holder at the door of the pit. ono of the many means by which one of the struggling unemployed or of the poorly paid seeks to add a few shillings to 'bis meager, frugal income. There was no risk involved. The boy was quick to note the foreigner. "It'll be all rolght. sir' be said in his cheerful cockney way. "Is the lady coming too? Me and me friend '11 stand in line, and all you'll have to do will be to change places with us when -you come around - tonight. Only a shillin' apiece. It's worth it, sir, not to have to wait." At 7 o'clock we were back in the narrow court, but long before I had been able to disentangle my boy from the dozen or so others, all looking "very much alike, his cheerful tones greeted me with "'Ere you are. sir, 'ere you are, and you and the lady '11 get in the first row if you look sharp" when you pass the door." 1 .-1 "Gee-rusalem." I muttered as we dropped Into the Interstices left by the departing boys, "a good half hour to wait or more." But. after all. I fonnd the waiting far from tedious. Hawkers of fruit and chocolate passed along the line, finding ready buyers among the waiting patrons of the pit. and every few. minutes some new vaudoville faker out of work would come along to entertain the crowd with tumbling, dancing, singing or Imi tations. First a Juggler appeared, and when a bobby sent him spinning faster than bis plates1 and balls a contortionist took his place, spread a ragged carpet mat and began to turn himself In side out while the newsboys and shop girls going home from work shouted encouragemvut and appreciation. Finally the bobby ordered him to "move on. but noc until a generous shower of pennies had fallen on the mat. The next man to appear carried a valise from which he produced wigs, dimpled hair and several false noses. His entertainment consisted of imitations of composers, "famous." he called them, but "Infamous" they really were. He was not encouraged, either, for the pit line knew good from bad and wasq't to be parted from its pennies without proper, value in return. . The crowd was genial, orderly, well dressed, and when the doors were opened finally I expected a headlong rush. . But there was not the slightest suggestion of a scramble a little con gestion naturally at the narrow en trance, where a smiling;- good natnred bobl remarked quite pleasantly: "Xjw, then.' go easy just the same as you went Into church last Sunday If you did go." Then a short passage up a flight of narrow stairs, past a little cubbyhole where the tickets are banded out after you have duly deposited your two-and-slx. Into the theater and ready for the Plsy.

A METERCONTRACT City Enters into Agreement with General Electric Co. for 1911. - ONLY ONE OTHER BIDDER A contract to furnish the municipal light plant with electric meters for next year was awarded the General Electric company, at a meeting of the board of works yesterday after noon. The company will furnish such meters as are required by the plant. Usually about twenty per month are needed, costing from $11.50 to ' $25, each according to the size. General Electric meters have been in, use during the past three, years at the municipal plant. A representative of the "G. E." company was before the board yesterday and demonstrated the superiority of his meter over the Westinghouse, which ,1s also considered standard. , It was found the "G. E." meter was more simple, easier to read and not so likely to rust. At first it was considered giving the contract to a firm making a cheaper grade of meters but it was decided that this c would not be satisfactory. Nimrod Johnson, superintendent rt the plant favored the General Electric meter and was much " onnosed to a cheap meter.
