There Is much labor about transport ing a letter from San Francisco to Lon don. The postman takes It out of the 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. It 1* 1 250 miles from San Francisco 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 Central train that brings the letter Into New York city the mall pouch containing it Is carried by wagon to Station IT. at tho comer of Madison avenue and Forty-third street. From thero It Is sent by wagon to tho for eign branch, at West and Morton streets. where It Is put in a sack destined for >mo steamer. The sacks made up Ip the foreign branch of tho postofflce are marked for London, Liverpool, Glasgow or Dublin, so that the mail destined for those place* may be carried direct without being handled tar — — Intermediary postoffice reaching the other side. If the steamer carrying the mall pouch containing the letter addressed to Ixjn don goes to Liverpool or Southamptor the sack Is transported by train iron either of thoae places to London. Tin postal authorities make the distance be tween New York and London 3.740 miles, and allow between seven and eight dayi for a letter to get from one point to tin other. Pay of Mall Handlera.

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.
