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 S9OO I have heard fie was one'of those members who constantly use their com mittee stationery and draw their allow ance In cash." 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 ( , his committee room at Ilia Capitol h* l.sd a very tine at el large safe which hud been purchased for the use of his com •nlttee, but which had been cgndpni<<t and sold to him at an Infinitesimal price II weighed alggit S.UMi pounds Ait the fengior dhl was to place an address and a frank upon li and notify the ikhmoNli a to send for It.

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 bunt anew Job, which at my time of life would be very Inconvenient, to say the least. . "Then if a protest against the whole practice were made the departmunt might And itself several million dollars short when the Postoffice Appropriation bill went through. Ho we would be cutting aft our nose# because of a fancied grudge against our faces.' Not for me! They can ship the United States capitol through the malls and never a word will they hear from yours truly.” DONG GOXE ON AW MM<.AW. John Cleary Returns to His Slater 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.
