MAIL SERVICE OUT OP JOINT.
The Need for Ha Overhauling and
Improvement.
The Morsino News takes pleasure in
publishing the letter from Chief Clerk Da
vis, of the railway mail service, regarding
mall failures. Tho article in Thursday s
Morni.vo News, to wnioh he refers, sooke
for itself. Tho mail failures were proven
by competent witnesses. The first move ;a
to find out where the fault lie?, ai;d the next
is to correct it. Thee should be ft thorough
investigation cf the railway mail service.
If the trouble is owing to inefficient post
office officials, they should t.e gotten rid of
at once. Jf the blame rests with the rail
roads, then tij*‘Y should ba made to carry
out their contracts.
For years pas: this part of the country
has had a v*ry poor mail service, and there
appears to be no one who bus
sufficient influence a Washington,
or with tLe railroads to , rem
edy tho troubles. Everything is given to a
fast mail service to benefit New York and
nothing to the local ser vice. It is very cer
tain that so long as the entire mail service
south of Savannah is made subservient to
tho fast mail train on the Atlantic Coas'.
Lino, these irregularities will continue.
Tho railroads, very properly, looking at it
from a business point of view, siy that
they are not paid for the service
which will be required to remedy tho diffl
cullies. It is a bad outlook f racily when
tbe people in tho territory doing bu-in&s
with its merchants cannot get its newspa
pers before those that are published 750
miles further away. Toe Morning News
is a sufferer by these continued mail failures,
but the city is also t-erioudy injured by it.
Those who do busings w i h Savannah
think that the people here have but little
influence, or take but little interest in her
welfare, when they do not have these mail
irregularities corrected.
Tu show’ to the people of Southern Georgia
and nBo those in Florida, who take the
Morning News, it publisnes not only Chief
Clerk Davis’ letter, but also the correspond
ence between the Morning News and Supt.
Fleming of the Savannah, Flo tda a:xl
W-. s'ern railway. There :sa difference of
opinion between all concerned as to
where the fault lies and what is
a* remedy. There is one question
aat U beyond dmbt, and that is tie
.-anil service in this part of the world “is
at of joint.” What is wanted is a rc.uedy.

Allow me to correct the erroneous statements
made therein, so far as the railway mail service
is concerned. On Sunday, the IGth Inst., the

7, that leaves Waycross, Ga., at 10 a. m., and
again on the I7t.h mst.. train No. 27 failed to
couneci at Waycross, Ga.. with train No 7. On
the 18th Inst, there *a* no connection made by
No 27 at Waycroaa, Oa., with No. 7. Tne**e
failures to connect at Waycross, made by 8., F.
and W. train No. 27 with train No. 7, was the
cause of the delay of your p*f>er to reach your

FUN IN THB BDPREM2 COURT.
The Justices Roar, and Chief Justice
Fuller Nearly Falls Out of His Chair.
Front the Sew Fork Herald.
Washington, Dec. 19.-—lf tbe supreme
court had been transfered to the stage of a
theater, and to-day's proceedings adver
tised, the sign “standing room only” would
tave been visibie before tbe curtain went
up. and when the last act of the drama had
been concluded it is fair to assume that the
entire company would have had to respond
to the enthusiastic calls of the audience.
Hilarity reigned supreme in the court room.
The usual sedate and solemn justices gave
wav before the wit and humor of counsel
and’ were convulsed with laughter, and the
walls of the court room rang merrily. The
fun began when the clerk announced case
No. 135—Robert H. Anderson, appellant,
vs Henry T. Miller & Co.—and John D.
Wise, the ex-congressman from Virginia,
arose to state the case in behalf of the ap
pellant.
It involves the validity of a patent for a
patch intended to reinforce drawers in the
crotch. Mr. Wise is a bright, witty young
lawyer, bubbling over with good spirits,
and with a mobuity of countenance rival
ling that of the bet of comedians. He
seized at once upon the opportunity for a
display of h:s talents as a fun maker, and
with anecdote, sarcasm and raillery kept
the court, justices, lawyers, spectators and
ail in a roar. Mr. Wise opened by reading
from hi* brief the opinion of Judge Hughes,
of the United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Virginia, in this case
This opinion is remarkable for its levity.
Judge Hughe* said that it was a patent
for a {Milch upon drawers, extending from
the hack of the wais-tl and down under tho
crotch and up in a split form to the waist
band in front. Of c urse it is a patch upon
new drawers before worn. One of its merit*
is that it strengthens, or, to use tho euphem
ism of the patent office, “reinforces” the
drawers at the crotch, where a catastrophe
is most likely to occur. Then, as a state
ment of his reasons why he did not believe
a pate t should be granted for this improve
ment, Judge Hughes said:
A PATENT INADMISSIBLE.
“It strikes me that a patent for a patch
upon drawers, designed to remedy tbe evils
of rip and tear to which they are liable in
the crotch, ought never to have be*3n
granted, interfering as it must necessarily
do with the prerogative of the housewives
of the civilized world to patch the drawers
of their husbands, fathers and sons freely in
their own way, with no patentee to molest
or make them afraid.
“I is impossible that the'j:patch can be
novel as to tne simple matter of strengthen
ing the and material of drawers in
tho immediate region of the crotch; for if
drawers do continually give way there, it
would be a reft ction upon the housewives
of civilized society not to admit that for
hundreds of years they have been in the
habit of patching the garment ‘and the
forks thereof by lapping the seams aud ‘re
inforcing’ the rents in that region. As to
the disorders cf men’s drawers in and near
the crotch, which have tr übled housewives
for centunos, I do not think any person in
our day and generation can employ a patch
for the pu pose of preventing or curing
them that can have any real novelty.”
Mr Wise dilated up *n this opinion at
length, and with inimitable gesture and
expression warned the justices of the irn
jiorfcance of the case to tbe feminine portion
f the community, and of tho wrath that
was impending over them. Concluding, he
said tno ca e resembled the game of faro.
“There iathis differen e,. however,” said
the speaker. “In faro the dealer gets all
the splits and in this the splits are all
again t the dealer.” At this sally the court
lost all likeness to its usually serious and
dignified self. The lau rhter became bois
terous and every one gave way freely to
hi* feelings. Chief Justic •F i ijr C3uld not
restrain himself and nearly fell out of his
chair. Justice Harlan*< huge form and
big, rosy, round face became convulsed
with laughter until it became almost apo
plectic. Justice Gray made a strong effort
to pre-erve the dignity of tho court, but he,
too, was compel I* *a to succumb and join iu
tho general merriment.
A MON6IY EATING HOG.
Ho Gets Hold of Three S2O Bills and
Chews Them.
the Rome iGa.) TVihune.
In the early part of December a man
named Pritchett near Summerville was
working out in a field. Ho hung up his
coat on tha fence. Among other thiogs the
coat contained three S2O bills.
la tome way the money dropped out of
his pocket, and a big hog wandering around
the field came upon it. Doubtless, the
porker thought it was a toothsome greeu
morsel and was pleased to find it in the
field of frost-killed vegetation. So the hog
chewed it until tho three bills were a pulp.
Mr. Thompson Hile* brought the bills to
Ro :etowe if they were redeemable. He
carried them to J. H. Reynolds, president
of the First National Bdnk, who sent the
pulp to tne treasury department at Wash
ington. Mr. Reynolds says that it was im
possible for him lg make anything out of
the puip, and t iat it looked like so much
dark colored paper.
Yesterday President Reynolds received a
letter from Washington containing a reply
to his letter. On two slips of p:iper were
neatly pasted fragment* of two bills. It
was tne work of au expert aud showed hi3
wonderful skill.
The treasury department said that they
could only make two bills out of the pulp,
and would pay that on an affidavit stating
how the money was mutilated, and the
good character of the persons who owned
the bills when destroyed.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1888.
IS MR. MABURY MARRIBD?
His Friends Thick He 2s, But They Nev
er Heard of Mary O Kennes.
From the Seic York 9*xn.
The friends of John W Masury, tbe 73-
ycar-old millionaire paint manufacturer of
93 Nassau street, whose marriage with
Mary O’Kennes was announced in a morn
ing paper on Monday, were as ignorant yei
terdav as they were in the beginning a< to
the identity of the bride. Mr. Wiiiiam B
Oliver, Jr , the young stock broker who
married Mr. Masury’a youngest daughter,
has co more knowlege than any one else on
the subject. He lives at 705 Fifth avenue,
on the corner of Fifty-fifth street, with nia
parents.
“I am satisfied,” he said last night, “that
the notice of the marriage which was sent
to a morning newspaper was genuine. It
was written on one of Mr. Masury’s own
letter heads, and dated at the Windsor
hotel, Dec. Ifl. I parted with Mr. Masury
at the door cf the hotel that afternoon about
3 o’clock, when I saw him drive off in a
cab, accompanied by his valet. He was
then, he sa:d, cn his way to Thomasviile,
Ga.. where he owns a plantation.
“Of one thing I am sure,” Mr. Oliver
continued, “ar.a that is that whoever tbe
lady is, she is one who will properly grace
bis household. Ho is a man of great refine
ment—one who surrounded himself with
all the elegances of life—and he would not
taka a wife who would do him any dis
credit. ”
Other friends of the aged millionaire
spoke in the same strain. “I believe,” said
one, “that Mr. Masury has proceeded in
this way to avoid just what ho has provoked
—a public discussion of his marriage. He
was always one to act rather than talk. I
do not think he would have married at all
but for the death of bis daughter Alice, the
wife of Mr. Oliver. She died under painful
circumstances last October, after a very
happy married life of two years. She was
the last of his children, and even after her
marriage she was the head of his household
in the summer at Moriches. In the winter
she lived with the Olivers, and ho boarded
ut the Windsor. The house which he ha*
gone to in Thomasviile, Ga., was built for
her, and sho was to spend the winter there.
He has now no descendants except the two
children of another daughter, Mrs. Miller,
whom he has adopted. Tuev are a boy und
a girl. One, the girl, is 18. She is on a
tour around the world. The boy of 14 lives
with an aunt in Salem. Mass.”
Recent letters from Salem indicated that
they had no news there of the marriage.
Mr. Oliver has written to his fa'her-in
law. “He probably got to Thomasviile,” he
said, “last night, but I do not know when
to expect an answer from him. He may
not write at once. ”
Mr. Masury built a Catholic church in
Moriches and gave it to the church last
summer.
“That the lady is a Catholic,” a friend
said last night, “is altogether probable, but
I do not know of any one of that uame iu
Moriches. ”
An employe of Masury Sc Son, who took
certain papers to the train on Sunday
night, says he saw a woman iu the sleeper
who was very evidently trying to keep out
of sight He did not observe that Mr.
Masury spoke to the woman, but he thinks
it probable that she was with him.
"Mr. Masury’s country residence ii on Old
Neck, alout three milt* from the village of
Moriches, L. I. It is surrounded by a farm
of ‘4lO acres a:.d commands a spleniid view
of Great South Bay. Capt. Clinton Ross,
who has charge ot the estate in Mr. Mas
ury’s absence, said to a Sun repo ter last
oignt that he had not t! e slightest iilea who
the bride, Mary O’Kennes, was. He had
guessed from one of Mr. Ma ury’s letters,
however, that his employer was about to
bo married. No one else m Moriches had
ever beard of Mary O Kennes.
When Mr. Masury left Moriches in the
latter part of November to go to New York
his servants want a ->ay, too. It is said that
that they were sent to Mr. Masury’s new
house at Thomasviile, Ga.
FOREIGNERS IN THE NAVY.
Naval Officers Do Not Feel Alarmed
About Tbeir Preponderance.
New York rimes.
Inspection of the pay-rolls of the cruiser
Boston shows that about twesthirds of the
crew are foreign bora. Statistics are not
readily available, but it is safe to say that
very nearly two thirds of tho enlisted men.
both in the navy aud in the marine corps,
were born abroad. The Boston’s muster
roll shows pretty clearly where the United
States navy gets her seamen. Out of 209
men 73 claim an American birth-place,
but many of the names indicate that the
tourers are of Irish,German or Scandinavian
descent. Of the remaining 133 men 32
are Irish, 15 Germans, 12 Swedes, 11 Eng
lish, 21 Japanese. 9 Norwegians, 9 Cana
dians (including all British provinces in
America); 7 Dane-. ti Scotchmen, 6 from
tto West Indies, 6 Finns, 2 Russians, and 1
each from France, Italy, Belgium, Greece,
Austria, \Vales, Anstraha, Madeira and the
East Indies.
Tbe preponderance of foreign-born sea
men in the American navy was made the
special subject of discussion in Admiral
Porter's annual report some time ago, anil
was then represented in the light of a men
ace to the nation. Inquiry among officers
at the navy-yard indicates that the admi
ral's repoi t caused much lees sensation in the
service than among landsmen and civilians.
Hardly an officer could be found to agree
with the slat meat that the predominance
of forcigti-boru sailors was a menace to the
navy, and few seemed to think it a disad
vantage. Saul Admiral Gherardi: “lam
by no means prepared to admit that two
tbirds of our seamen are foreigners, what
ever their birthplace or parentage. During
the war cougress passed a law making three
vears’ service in the navy equivalent to
naturalization. I am not informed that
that law has ever been repealed. The ordi
nary term of enlistment Is st ill three year--,
and a majority of the men ro-en!ist at the
end of that time. I would not say the
pi esence of the e men is either a menace or
a disadvantage.”
Lieul. Har.y Knox, executive officer of
the Boston an i c immauding officer during
the abse iceof Capt. Ramsey, discussed this
question in an interesting manner. He
said in substance: “Ti.e foreign seam-n
are not a menace, but I tbii k the scarcity
of American seamen is a disadvantage. A
majority of the foreigners come from Ire
land, Germany, or the north country—
(Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. They are
bardv, competent seamen, and do their
work well. The German and north country
seamen are especially valuable because of
their sobriety. Give ten men leave of ab
scone, five being Germans and five Ameri
cans, Irish, English, or Scotch, and the
Gorman* will return sober ad ready for
work, the remainder will come back tipsy.
“The pay is better in the Unitsd StMtee
navy than in that of any other country,
and this draws foreigner* over. On tins
j otter I aod, Americans can generally mako
| more monty, perb p., in the iner < bant uia
riue, and certainly in ail most any other
tusiness, than in the American navy. Con
sequently tbe average American comes to
tbe navy as a last r-sort, in case of actual
war 1 tnmk there would be no lack of pa
tnotism ebber m the navy or the merchant
marine, aud that there would be tittle to
fear from lack of seamen."

A life complete is net in length cf days,
A story told of threescore years and ten.
Nor deeds performed to reacn the ears of men,
Nor labored work to win the meed of pral6e.
For tbcu hast shown wfcat few, with long delays
Hardly attain, and many ne’er achieve.
A thoughtfulness for others, to relieve
The mind depressed, a gentleness that swaya
All hearts to thine, as we recall thy ways.
The grace of thy young manhood will outlast
The proud achievements, which indeed may cast
A glamor o’er the outward life that stays
In mouumental brass, but may not live
In memories, that the heart alone can give.
