MAKE A FAST MAIL OF IT.
Newspaper .Special From New York to
Washington Now Fays Revenue,
The government took a decided
step only last month, says a Washing
ton special to the Chicago Tribune. The
third assistant postmaster general had
not been in the new administration very
long before he discovered that a special
train was being run every Sunday
morning from New York to Washing
ton. It left the former place at 3:10 a.
m. and reached Washington about 7
o’clock. It was chartered by a few of
the New York papers for the purpose of
the distribution of their Sunday issues.
The train had worked up an immense
business and the Pennsylvania Railroad
company was getting the profit. It was
discovered that the railway mail service
was being made use of to increase the
business of this train. To explain: The
New York papers would send by this
special train a ton or so of their papers
to Washington to be transferred to the
government mail trains running to the
Southern States. Third Assistant Post
master-General Sballenberger found
this practice to be irregular and unsatis
factory. He determined not only to put
a stop to it but to secure the whole busi
ness for the government, thereby get
ting the advantage of the short hauls to
all the towns by the special
train. He proposed to make up for the
losses of the Pacific and Alaska long
hauls by the profits of this business, at
least to some extent. The postoffice de
partment by law may place postal ser
vice on any regularly scheduled train.
Gen. Sballenberger asked the Pennsyl
vania people to schedule this Naw York
newspaper train, and his demand was
acceded to. On October 10 last the spe
cial became a regular mail train, and
thrown open not only to the few papers
that had been chartering it but to all
the legitimate newspapers of the city. It
also took on board all the mail matter
that had accumulated in the postoffioe
after the regular 9 o'clock train had left
the evening before. The train carried
out on that morning about forty-four
tons of newspapers, and on this Uncle
Sam derived a neat little revenue of
something over SBOO. It is claimed that
the annual revenue will reach $90,000.
It is the purpose of the postoffice de
partinent people to ask the next session
of congress to so modify the existing
laws or to pass new ones which will give
the government a monopoly of the car
riage of second-class matter to the same
extent as now prevails in the hauling of
all letter mail. If such a law is passed
then it will be unlawful for newspaper
publishers to send their papers in any
way except by mail.

Chamberlain’S Pain Balm costs no more,
and its merits have been proven by a
test of many years. Such letters as the
following, from L. G. Bagley, Hueneme,
Cal., are constantly being received:
‘ ‘The best remedy for pain I have ever
used is Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and
I say so after having used it in my
family for several years.” It cures rheu
matism, lame back, sprains and swell
ings. For sale by Curry-Arrington Co,

TO LECTURE ON DIXIE.
Southern Railway's Unique ]Plan to Ad
vertise the South.
The Southern railway Jhae a unique
project on foot. That project is to ad
vertise the south to the people of the
north and east in a most entertaining
way.
They are going to have a lecturer
cover the cities in the north and tell his
audiences about the good features of
Dixie Land.
An eminent lecturer has been en
gaged and he has been traveling through
the southland supplying himself with
information and having a number of
photographs taken of points of interest
in and around cities touched by the ntr
merous tentacles of the great railway
system.
These photos will be shown the peo
ple through a stereopticon and. will be
shown in conjunction with the lectures.
Dr. A. G. Roger is the lecturer en
gaged for the work. He has been trav
ding around the country ac ompanied
by Traveling Passenger Agent J. P.
Billup, of the Southern railway, and is
now about ready to start out on his
tour.
The lectures will be delivered at vari
ous points in the north, commencing at
Dr. Roger’s own home at Reading. The
first big lecture occasion will be in a
month’s time at the Columbia theater,
Washington, D. C., and President
McKinley and his cabinet and the sena
tors and congressmen will be invited to
attend. The lectures will be free to the
general public. Any person feeling the
interest can attend. From Washington
Dr. Roger will go on a general lecturing
tour. He is a man of fine presence and
a splendid fiow of language.
He understands the people of the
north and east and knows on what
points they are most ignorant of the
south, and will touch on them.' The
scheme was the conception of the South
ern railway and will be carried out at
the railway company’s expense. While
it will advertise the railroad, it will at
the same time advertise the south, and
will probably prove the forerunner of
big things to come this way in Dr.
Roger’s campaign of education.
Views of the Bon Air Hotel, High
land Park at Aiken, and other winter
resort hostelries on the Southern's
routes will be shown. Augusta, being
an important point on the line of the
road, will of oonrse oome in for a few
words by the lecturer and views of
local interest will be exhibited by the
stereopticon. The scheme is a good one
and will no donbt cause the people north
of Mason and Dixon line to learn more
about the south than they ever knew
before. —Angusta Herald.
