When the aggregate is considered, tho

represents the mall from all of tho
United States with the exception of that
posted In alx of the larger cities, like
Chicago, Boston, St. Louis. Philadelphia
and Cincinnati. Those cities sort their
own foreign mall and put It in sealed
sacks tagged with the destination, ao
that It can be taken directly from the
train on Ita arrival here to the steamers
without passing through the foreign
branch on West street.
On 40,600 pieces of mall the difference
of three cents on each piece represents
a saving to the senders of $1,200 a day.

The Journey of. a Letter.
There Is much labor about transport
ing a letter from San Francisco to Lon

box Into which It Is dropped and car
ries It to the postofflce In San Franelsco.
There It is handled by the sorting clerks
and put In a tack destined for New York.
The sack Is loaded on a wagon and
driven to tho railroad station and put
on an east-bound train.

to New York, and tho average time of
a mall train Is 105 hours or four days
and nine hours. If It Is a New York

and allow between seven and eight dayi
for a letter to get from one point to tin

On thla side the letter la handled by

from $600 to $1,200 a year, according to

RUSSIAN JEWS TO OMIT
FAST ACCOUNT CHOLERA
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 4—Tho
rabbis of St. Petersburg have recom
mended that the Jewish population dis
regard tho custgmary fast of Yom
Klppur, on tomorrow, becauso abstin
ence is favorable to cholera. Tho re
commendation Is aatd to bo without
precedent.
Statistics for the twenty-four hours
ended at noon today show decided Im
provement In the situation. There
wero only 171 new-cases nnd 85 deaths,
compared with 223' new cases and 9$
deaths for the preceding twenty-four
hours. An encouraging feature today
Is that 60 per cent of the patients an
suffering from a light form of the dis
ease. One hundred nnd twenty-flve
recoveries were reported.
Trouble has arisen between General
Dracheffskl, prefect of St. Petersburg,
and the municipal sanitary commission
over the premature discharge of pa
tients from city hospitals. The pre
fect has ordered that all patients bo
detained until tho cholera germs havo
completely disappeared. Tho members
of tho commission declare this course
to be Impracticable a* long as tho epi
demic continues.
Experiments aro being conducted at
sevoral of tho hospitals with a new
anti-cholera scrum dlecovored by an
Italian named Scrlmberl, but the re
sults have-not been conclusive.
Nicholas Pavloff-Bllvansky, profos-
■or of meteorology at the Institution
for Higher Learning for Women, died
yesterday from cholera. Ho was one
of the moat brilliant of younger Rus
sian historians. Ho mado a specialty
of the department of archives at tho
foreign office. A case of cholera has
been discovered among the me n on
guard at the residence of Premier
Btolypln.
