THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
DELIVERING MAILS.
The Postofflcv Department la Adopting
Modern Appliances For Thia Work.
Washington, June 11—Modern ap
pliances for hastening work are being
repidly adopted by the postoffice de
partment. In addition to the wide use
being made of the trolley cars in the
various cities, the department is encour
aging the use of the bicycle by indiv 5 1-
ual carriers, both in delivering and col
lecting mails, wherever the condition
of the streets and roads make it proba
ble that a saving of time will be effect
ed.
Scarcely a day passes without re
quests being received from one or more
postmasters that the carriers attached
to their offices be permitted to use bi
cycles and to retain as an offset to the
cost the car fares now given to them.
In every case the department declines
to permit the diversion of the car fares
for the purpose stated, but agrees to
grant a certain sum, ranging from $2
to $3 per month to each carrier, to be
applied to repairs for his wheel.
During the winter months or in any
month when the carrier gives up the
use of the wheel he again receives car
fare for his transportation.
Although the department favors the
use of bicycles, when the conditions are
favorable it does not in any case require
their use.
The wheels are favored specially for
collectors and carriers delivering letters
in the suburbs. The cities having the
best of pavements naturally have the
largest number of bicycle carriers. It
Buffalo. Cleveland, Washington anl
Grand Rapids they are gradually com
ing into general use.
The plan of having the wheels owned
by the government instead of by the
carriers was tried about seven years
ago in this city, and was abandoned
after a fair test. It was found impos
sible to get the carriers to keep their
wheels in proper order, and the cost of
repairs soon became too great.
WADE HAMPTON TALKS.

“Secretary Carlisle’s preliminary
statement of a proposition that he is

He says he does not believe the Dem

ment of New Cotton and Oil Mills.
Chattanooga, June 11.—The Trades
man has received reports of industrial
conditions in all parts of the south for
the week ending June 10.
The recent advance in the price of
iron is well sustained and has led to a
10 per cent increase in wages on the
part of the Pioneer Mining and Manu
facturing company, one of the largest
mine and furnace operators in the Bir
mingham district. It is expected that
other mine operators will follow this
example. In addition to the two steel
working establishments, one at Besse
mer and the other at Birmingham, now
under way, The Tradesman announces
the organization at Sheffield, Ala., of
the Sheffield Coal, Iron and Steel com
pany, with (1,500,000 capital, controlled
by Pennsylvania iron and steel work
era, who intend to thoroughly develop
the resources of the southern coal and
iron fields, and also to establish steel
works. Coal mining is now very ac
tive, and no labor troubles are expect
ed. The Flemington Coal and Coke
company has been chartered at Flem
ington, W. Va., with (1,000,000 capi
tal, and a coal mining company with
(200,000 capital has been organized at
Thacker, W Va.
The interest in textile mills built by
southern capital continues to be very
active. For the present week The
Tradesman reports the incorporation of
a cotton mill with (200,000 Capital at

MEXICAN MINTS.
Th® Government Will Assume Control
and Make a Slight Change.
Washington, June 11.—Mr. C. L.
Tompkinson, an American resident of
Mexico, who is interested in mining
there, and who is temporarily in this
city, in explaining the new regulation
concerning the taxation of mines in
that country, said that it grew out of
the faot that the Mexican government
had recently decided to resume control
of the mints.
It appears that the mints have for
the past several years been leased to
private individuals who, while they
have charged a mintage tax, have put
it on a somewhat different basis from
that proposed by the government. The
charge for minting gold and silver has
been about 4 1-2 per cent, while the
government has collected in addition a
tax of sixty-one one-hundredths of 1
per cent; making in all a tax of over 5
per cent to be paid by Mexican mine
owners having their ores coined into
money tn Mexico, while those who sent
their products to smelters either tn
Mexico or th* United States escaped
the payment of the bulk of th* tax.
The government, upon resuming con
trol of the mints on the first of July
next, proposes to levy a uniform tax of
5 per cent on the gold and silver con
tained in all the ore mined in the coun
try without regard to where it is treat
ed.
“The change, said Mr. Tompkinson,
"Is in the greatest of fairness to all and
while it is jvobably Intended to en
courage home Industry no one can real
ly safely find in it legitimate reason for
oomplaint. Those who have been ac
customed to seed their ores to the Mex
ican mints will find no material differ
ence, and what difference there is is in
their interest.

Mass Meeting In Memphis.
Memphis, June 11.—The silver men

breeze tempers the heat.
Indications point to a very large at

prominent in national politics. Dele
gates are arriving by every train and

large proportion of men from the coun

thought that there fully 1,000
delegates in attendance when the gav .1
falls on the chairman’s desk. The per
sonnel of the convention will embrace

Gazette, in the course at a IW I g article
on the Cornell crew, now training iiear
Henley, written by an expert oarsflian,
commends the crew. The writer says
that their style is very uniform, far
more so than is usually seen in Eng

feather clean and have a good, lively
recovery, in which they set an example
to many English crews.
They do not attempt to row secretly
or to suppress inspection of their boat.
They appear to be thoroughly sports

already created a favorable impression
at Henley.
In conclusion the writer In the St.

Rain Proved ■ Bleeslng In Nebraska.
Omaha, June 11.—Two inches of rain
has covered the entire state in the past
48 hours. Fields of grain which had
been abandoned as ruined, which had
been so patched that a match wou’d
have kindled a serious conflagration,
have revived and will, in most oases,
make a full crop. The growth has been
something remarkable, and most at th 3
fields might be harvested if matured, at
once. Rivers and irrigating ditches
are running full. Crops can be made
without further rain in June.

LUTHERANS IN MARYLAND.
The Board of Publication Makes Its Re
port at the Conference.
Hagerstown, June 11.—Following is
the report of the board of publication
society, Lutheran evangelical church,
read by secretary S. A. Holman, at the
Hagerstown conference.
While the sales for the year just clos
ed have not yielded as large a result as
those of the several years previous, the
church and the board nevertheless have
cause for congratulation tor what under
providence we have been able to ac
complish. Congregations and Sunday
schools, in common with the individuals
composing them, have experienced dur
ing the year just closed, the effect of
“the general business depression, ’ ’ aud
in consequence, have put off purchas
ing books or periodicals, except such as
were strictly necessary.
Since the last biennial report we have
earned for and credited the general
synod for royalties on books of worship,
common service, catechisms, liturgies
and Augsburg songs, $2,073; donated
as per resolution of the board as extra
discount on periodicals by the United
States to Suudayschools under the care
of the board of home missions, $2,365;
deducted and charged off from the face
value of stereotype plates, under the 10
per cent rule adopted by the board,
1878, $1,520; charged off for “wear and
tear” of store and boardroom fixtures,
$143; charged off to profit and loss ac
count for doubtful accounts, $443, mak
ing a total of $6,545.
While our net profits are reduced by
the above amount, it should be a source
of gratification to the church that (2,073
of the above for royalties has been saved
to the treasury of the general synod,
and (2.366 to the Sunday schools under
the care of the board of home missions;
a total of $4,384, which, with the $9,000
passed into the treasury of the society,
aggregate a saving of $11,439 to the
church because of the publication house.
The report of the auditing commit
tee: The a’-.diting committee reported
that they h.'.ve examined the books and
securities of the treasurer, Joseph
Stalb. The amount held by him as
treasurer is $40,350.57. The net assets
of the house are $7,992. This amount
added to the (40,353 in the hands of the
treasurer gives $108,342 as the total net
assets of the society.
The board has decided that the Sun
dayschpol Herald cannot support itself
as a weekly and accordingly will make
no change in the issue.
“UNFIT FOR DOGS TO EAT.”
