contemplated extradition proceedings,
arked that the men bo released. Expla
natory of this Mr. Fox stated that Capt.
John Smith, of the Campendown, refused
to go to England to press his complaint
against the mutineers. The consul has no
authority to compel Capt, Smith to go to
England, consequently further proceed

FRANKED “WASH” HOM(L
BLT THAT'* ONLY A PHASE OF THE
ARI SES OF THE HAIL
Yes, Even a Piano Was Sent—Bin Is
Was a Sight When It Reached Its
Destination—Privileges Hack Abus,
ed h.v Some Congressmen.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, March 10.—At the close of
each session of Congress, when the ex
odus of members, clerks and attaches
takes plat*, the Washington city post
office has a difficult time to handle the
cutgoing mail. Especially is this true at
the end of a Congress when many mem
bers of both branches retire to private
life.
The reason for this rush of mall Is not
hard to find. Senators and Representa
tives have the privilege of franking home
their personal effects through the malls.
In theory this franking privilege extends
only to the Congressional documents,
books, papers and letters relating to offi
cial business, but in practice it covers
almost everything which the ordinary
member of the Senate or House has in
bis possession. It is one of the perqui
sites connected with Congressional life
which make the life bearable.
Toward the end. of the session the Con
gressman finds himself presented with
three chests. Two of them are of pine,
but strongly built and braced. They are
about three feet in length, two In width
and a foot and a half deep. The third Is
of cedar, slightly larger than the others.
Having been utilized for shipping pur
pose*. It is stored away in some ologet,
where It becomes the receptacle for the
family furs, fine dresses and other mate
rials on which the moth feeds. Some
times it is used as a chest for the family
silver. These cedar chesi* would sell for
from $lO to $25 in any furniture store,
arid while the pine chests are not so
handsome they are quite presentable.
When, the Congressman receive* his
quota of boxes he has nothing to pay.
They come from the official carpenter
shop and are built by the official car
penter and paid for out of the contingent
fund. Ini fact, the principal duty of the
carpenter is to construct the hundreds
of boxes used by members.
They Carry na Mail Matter.
Into these boxes the member or his
cierk loads all his letter files, papers,
documents, books, maps and other publi
cations which he has in stock Type
writers, letter presses, inkstands' and
other office paraphernalia are stored
away in their recesses. Frequently cloth
ing, bedding and other pergonal or house
hold effects are packed away. Whm
filled to the brim they are locked and the
tops screwed down and then oqrted off
to the posfoffice, where they are shipped
through the mails to all points within
the borders of the United States.
“Abuses of the franking system,” said
a grizzled employe of the postoffice to
day, "are not nearly so prevalent as they
were some years ago. 1 remember the
time when U was considered the proper
thing for Senators and members to ship
home anything they wished by simply
placing address and their frank
upon it. That time has, fortunately for
the service, gone by. It Is now consid
ered a breech of good manners to ship
anything under a frank that cannot be
packed In the speriul boxes, or in the
mall sacks which are provided for docu
ments. Formerly furniture, desks trunks,
and even buggies and carriages were
franked home In mall cars. Nowadays
we very seldom come (taros* anything of
that kind, except gn occasional trunk
or two. It is also no longer considered
au fait few a Congressman to send his
laundry or family wash to hie home and
have it returned under his frank
“There used to la- a member of Con
gress from a Western State who was
addicted to this habit. He bad a family
of about five children and yet after two
terms he rellrMl with about JlO.lttu which
he had saved out of My salary. Ona of
fils daughters acted as his private secre
tary. another wag a clerk In one of the
department* and a .-mall son was a page
at the Capitol. The entire family prac
ticed rigid economy aqd among other
things the Congressman each week
franked home his family wash. Of course,
he did not *avp much by the operation,
but In the course of his four years' ser
vice It must have amoppted to at least

members who constantly use their com

Franked Home a Mate.
"What was the most difficult shipment
you have known?” Inquired The flun cor
respondent . ,
' Well, we have had many difficult and
peculiar Jobs iQ that line," responded the
poMnflk <• employe "Probably the worjt
Job 1 ever had to tackle was when a re
tiring Senator franked home a safe. i ( ,

We used to hve considerable difficul
ty,” he continued, “with household furni
ture. A folding bed or a lounge Is not a
desirable object In a postal car. It is bad
enough to have the car filled with bag*
of documents or boxes of goods, but
when it oonies to marble-topped tables,
boxes of bric-a-brac and other things of
that character, Including china closets
and kitchen utensils, one's patience is
strained to the limit. I have heard of a
member of Congress who once frqnked
an upright piano home. The clerk* were
so enraged at ■ his presumption that a
heavy box was allowed to drop—acci
dentally, of course—upon the lid, which
was split open. Then a leaky lamp
was hung right over |he piano and by
the time it reached Its destination It was
very badly damaged. Of course, the
member had ho ’recourse, a* he could
not make a complaint about the treat
ment his piano received when he was
clearly violating the law.
Slopped the Abase, Aithtn.
"We have had some queer request* in
regard to shipping of franked matter.
Just a few days ogo a Representative
from a Western State brought a hand
some foxterrier to the office which he
wished to frank to his home. We per
suaded him the dog might suffer from
inattention en route and he sent it by
express. There ip a member of the Sen
ate Who was once accused, according to
the public press, of franking home his
horses and carriages. I am not saying
whether -this is true or not, but the
hullabaloo which was raised by the pub
lication of the charge put a stop to moat
of the abuses of the franlfing privilege.
' Still, the outgoing Congress has a re
spectable record in that line. Over 1.000
boxes have been, or will be, shipped to
different parts of the country, together
with more than that number of bags of
public documents which will be distri
buted by the members and ex-members
during the summer season. Their total
weight will approximate 400,000 pounds,
and the shipments average 20,000 pound*,
or 10 ton* a day. As It coats 7 cents a
pound on an average, you can sea that
tile Postolßce Department expends a con
siderable sum every year In moving the
effects of the members of Congress.”
“How is it that no complaint is made?
It would seem that the employes or some
of the department officials would call at
tention to this situation.”
"You see, it's this way: Congress makes
the laws and Congress appropriates the
money to run this department. Now, it is
a matter of small concern to me, to any
other employe of the department or lo
the Postmaster General li a Congress
man wants to ship house home under
a frank, while it Is a very important
matter that Congress should tie satisfied
with the administration of the Post
office Department. Huppose I should
complain that Congrrsitman Blank i*
using his frank improperly and the com
plaint reaches the ears at the Congress
man. He might discover that the de
partment could do without my efficient
services and I might be turned out to

life would be very Inconvenient, to say
the least. .

After Thirty-Two Years.
From the St. Louis Star.
Thirty-two years ago Mrs Elisabeth
Kelly gave her brother, John Cleary, 5
cents, and Instructed him to go to the
corner grocery and get nine ginger snap#
for the baby! Mrs. Kelly waited minutes,
hours, days, weeks, months, and year
after year, but her brother never return
ed with the ginger snaps.
East Sunday, just thirty-two yoara af
ter he had been sent on the errand, the
brother appeared at the home of Mrs.
Kelly, 3,535 A'Maffiit avenue, and greet
ed her with the following language:
"Lizzie, I still have that nickel, but
not the ginger snaps."
Although her brother had changed
greatly in the years that had Intervened
since he left, she recognized him by that
expression And then followed a happy
reunion The story as told by Mr. Cleary
Is to this effect:
"When Lizzie sent me after the gin
ger snaps I wandered down to the river
end boarded a host for a ride This bit
rf ezpertenc* gave me an ambition to
see the world, and I roamed about from
place to place, until recently, having be
come pretty well up In yeare, and hav
ing acquired some wealth, t thought of
my sleter. whom I had left, some years
ago. Although 1 did not know wbethei
she was living or dead, I resolved to re
turn to St 1-oute and search for her.
When I returned to the city the first
place I went was to the old neighbor
hood. end tiegsli making Inquiry gt ch#
grotary store for my sister. After eev
eial uneuciessful a'tempts I finally mot
an old resident, who gave me the In
formation w hich led lo her Ineellow "
Air, ITeery le now neatly Maty years
old, and wears a gray beard. When ha
left he was a young man with a beard
less face. The Kelly home has been a
happy one since the long lost brother
returned.
Reflection* of m Bachelor.
From th* New York Press.
By their dads yc shall (not) know them.
At a certain age a man Is ao much the
better for being bad.
Lot's wife probably turned around to
gurgle at the sinful beby that lived next
door.
If a lizard were a secret, by the time
threw women had passed It along it would
be an alligator.
A woman's idea of being nice to another
woman is to kiss her and say, "Oh, how
lovely that new hat Is I" when she knows
she has had It a year,
