ANTHONY HOPE. Anthony Hope, one of the most brilliant and successful of younger Eng

lishmen of letters was born in London

Feb. 9, 1863. Ilia real numo is Anthony Hope Hawkins, Anthony Hope

being his pen name. He was gradu

ated from Oxford in 1S85 and then be

gan the study of law. Two years lat er he was called to the bar and follow

ea nis proiession ior six or seven

years. In the meantime he contribut

ed numerous short stories to the mag

sines which though fairly well re-

reived, were only partial successes

In 1S94 he published "The Prisoner of

Zen da," which was an instant and

lasting success. It was then that Mr,

Hawkins abandoned the law and de

termined to devote himself to litera

ture wholly. "Tho l'risoner of Zenda" was dramatized and proved unusually successful in America as well as

in England.

During the last twenty years the lakes of Russian Central Asia have

shown a steady rise of water-level.

Within this period, or since 1885, the Sea of Aral has risen about six and a half feet. The phenomenon bat accompanied a period of augmentation

The Postal Service

It seems to us that it is about time that the business men of the country got in under this mail seivice question. The business of the country of most sorts is conducted through the United States mails. We do not think that any one disputes that and it won't do them any good If they do. Every man in Richmond can remember at least one time in his life when a few minutes in the delivery of a letter has turned the tide of fortune or might have. It is a matter of dollars and cents. And it is this larger application of the matter which is more imiortant than that the postal business of the country is losing Ave million dollars a year or more. . People are beginning to ask "What's the reason?"

Mr. Hitchcock has been enlarging on his scheme of economy and retrenchment and has been employing a word which has lately been filled with a new meaning efficiency. Indiana has always been the favorite stamping ground for this postal machinery which Is gradually being exposed to view. It is common knowledge that OverBtreet and Hitchcock before the former's death were hand-In-glove. Mail clerks kowtowed and had to kow-tow before the sacred presence. A murmur a telling of the ordinary running of the postoffice amounted to dismissal. It was for the same reason that Overstreet was slated for the office of the director of the posts under the bill that failed. Everyone knows that the postal service is inefficient. Most ieoile are beginning now to know that it is not. the men in the service but the men higher up who are responsible for this. Under the employment of vicious methods of destruction for their own political supremacy the lostaI service is rapidly going to the scrap heap. Pethaps Richmond people do not know and perhaps' it will not be easy for them to find out but it is known that right here in Richmond the postal service went to the bad in the holiday season. This is not so much in the local office as on tho railway end of it. The "Mack" and "II" went to smash with hundreds of pounds of first class stuff. Inefficiency? Yes, but not the inefficiency of the men themselves. It was because there were not enough men to handle the mall. Mall is not properly sorted it can't be. In the face of this Hitchcock started to reduce the force. Men wero turned off right and left. Then the reaction came. Men began to strike up in Minnesota they began to tie up tho postal service. Tho reason for this is because .they were treated like dogs. The railway mail service has driven men to the hospital and wfecked their nervous systems. During December men tottered from exhaustion. They were denied the right of petition. They are not even as well off as the men who are in offices because they have no political pulls. These facts wero brought out in an investigation of the mail service made by the Indianapolis Sun last December and January of this year.- The Sun has gone further with the investigation. At the recent "inspection" of the Indianapolis carrier force every man suspected of anything was haled before three inspectors and was questioned and cross questioned as if on the witness stand. On good authority this inspection will result in the dismissal and reduction of several men. It is said trivial charges have been made against some of the men because they were objectionable to the powers that be. One of the chief objections, it seems, is the matter of giving out information regarding the inside workings of the office, showing the demoralized condition of the working system and the insubordination of the men caused by continually having the lash of the inspector hanging over him. A man who gave a reporter a few facts concerning an underground scheme of some Indianapolis postoffice officials to remove J. E. Shideler from the office of assistant postmaster and give it to E. L. Williams, now the secretary of the postal committee, but soon to be succeeded by a Democrat, was officially charged with loitering on the street. As a result of the visit of Inspectors F. B. Ashton. W. A. Kenyon and C. B. Speer several carriers have received letters from the department which read as follows: "Evidently intended to defraud the government .... this copy of charges Is submitted ... so you may have an opportunity to submit your defense in writing showing reasons if any, why you should not be separated from the service." The men under charges say they were given only two days' time to make their defense instead of ten days, as intended by the civil service regulations. Employes say the inspection was not fair and that there is no justice to most of the charges. Two men are supposed to have made practically the entire Inspection in less than four weeks, going over the past records of 175 regular carriers and thirty-five substitute men ahd shadowing each man and preferring charges after the investigation. It is evident that the inspections are merely a bluff. Men who are let off are usually of two kinds. They are the men who tell about the interior workings and those who refuse to take part in them. One article can only hint at the conditions but it is evident from the face of it that these inspections are made very hastily. The whole postal service Bccms to be but one mass of political manipulation. No wonder there is inefficiency. We Bhould like to see this gone to the mat with by people who are in a position to ask "Why?" The postal clerks under penalty can not.

Beside throwing off autocratic and bureaucratic government in this country which is a menace to our free institutions. Besides the robbing off Mr. Hitchcock of his road roller we would like to see these things changed. Again the Sun comes with its investigation: How the economy program has hurt the efficiency of the Indianapolis office is shown by disorder, improperly made up pouches, mixed and delayed deliveries. Mails should reach this office in direct and distributed pouches properly made up, the direct containing mail for city delivery only and the distributed for the railway postoffice and packages for all express trains. , These must be routed to trains "1" and "3" as addressed either north or south, east or west of a given point on a line which the office pouches for the convenience of the clerks. The express packages and the pouches contain the labels of the clerk making the distributions, anything found not in accordance with this separation would then be checked as errors against his record. The paper and' merchandise mail is made up on the same plan, except irstclass mail is presumed to have preference. The reduction of the local force has put the office in a state of disorder. The railway mail clerk is no longer able to make the proper separation and unworked mail intended for other connecting trains are dumped Into the Indianapolis office. Instead of being properly worked the direct and distributed pouches each contain mail intended for the other and before the mail con be worked for carrier routes it must be separated from outgoing mail. By the time the bungled mail from the pouches has been cased by the clerks the hour is late and the carrier has to work in feverish haste to get his mail routed before the office gong sounds. The mail though not fully worked and not routed by the carrier, must be delivered and the carrier must start at the sound of the gong. Some of his mail is not. properly addressed. Some belongs to patrons who have moved, but he has not had time to transfer this mail or to get that belonging to new patrons on his route. He must either stop in the street and route his mail or deliver what he can and bring the rest back to the office for the afternoon delivery. The latter is the best scheme, for, in carrying out the first he may be seen standing on the corner arranging his letters by an inspector, who officially charges the carrier with loitering. The discontinuance of the back stamp, postmarking the time of receipt of first class mail has taken away from the public the only means to fix responsibility as to the delay of letters. The department, office or particular branch of service which is at fault can not be located, nor is it possible to tell how long mail has laid in a car or office unworked. But that is only scratching the surface, although they are facts that have not been published in any other American newspaper. It is next to Impossible to run anything down in the postal service for the same reason as that which makes for its inefficiency. Apparently the story in the Sun tells only that in Indianapolis. It Is not only that, but a pretty good survey of conditions all over the country and especially In Indiana.
