Washington. March 8.—"Same old
story from another section of tho coun

tendent of railway mall adjustments,
when his attention was called , to a
story In a Southern paper that the
United Statea Is being mulcted by rall-
roada north of the Ohio river on the
carriage of second class mall matter.
The article In question says that
hundreds of sample copies of certain
new,pa per. are being sent out In order
to pad the malls to enable the rallroade
to obtain a greater average.
"It Is Not Possible."
"Such a thing It not possible," con
tinued Mr. Crew. "Any paper sending
out more excess of copies than It*
average would be Investigated, and If
It was shown to exceed what the sec
ond class privilege permitted, a fraud
order would'be Issued at once and lu
publisher plnred In Jeopardy for con
spiracy fo defraud the government.
"At certain times of the month the
big magazine* are published and extra
mall car. are put Into service. Then
the Sunday dallies come In at the end
of the week.
"No Chance to Pad."
"There could be no such thing i/*
'padding' the second class malt by the
railway companlea acting In conspira
cy with any newspapers, or with any
ona else. Any excess over the normal
quantity Is Investigated and we know
exactly the why* and wherefores of It
all. There stories crop up every now

Their Journey through th» building
halted longest In the composing room,
where the printers, linotype operators,
make-ups and others were engaged In
getting ready the regular afternoon
edition of an up-to-date dally ntw.ipa
per. They gathered about the typeset
ting machine*, watching their wonder
ful operation* In casting lines of type
and automatically distributing ths lit
tle braes matrices In their respective
channels In the magazine.
They watched the hurrying make-up
men about the "forms" and “turtlis'
and wondered how the paper could
ever get to the subscribers looking to
clean, regular and correct as It does
day after day when everything In the
composing room appeared to be to dis
ordered and confused. A million ques

many different things, and Interest nev

overtime.
Down through the malting room to

tha little chape crowded about the big

Concord, N. H„ March 8.—A (Ian Hol
lis, the law partner of Frank 8. Street
er, Mrs. Eddy's personal counsel, left
Concord for Boston today. In Boston
he wilt consult with Samuel Elder, the
attorney representing the Massachu
setts defendants In the Eddy cose. The
two lawyers will formulate the Boston
end of the general plan of defense.
General Streeter held another long
talk with Mrs. Eddy today. Preaefit
during the conversation was Hermann
Herring, one of the defendants. Mr*.
Eddy, according to Mr. Btreeter,
seemed very well today. Bhe took a
great deal of Interest In the details of
tho conference.
Wants To Ba Seen.
She was eager aa ever to arrive at a
plan which will render It possible to
appear tn public In some way which
will tend to establish the truth of her
contention that she Is physically well
and mentally capable. She Is held back
from any unofficial appearance through
the advlre of those around her.
Even those persons that advise her
to keep In seclusion at this time, are
forced to admit that their advice doea
not tall tn with Mrs. Eddy’s withe*.
It sh^had her own way she would ap
pear Tn public. That she may do ao.
knowing the counsel of her advisors,
is among the porelbllltlee. Mrs. Eddy's
legal advisers seem to be more confi
dent with the poselbllltles of delay In
the courte than with the broader ques
tion of the higher Interests of Chris
tian Science.
Lawyers Seek Daisy.
The lawyers are not members of Mr*.
Eddy’s church. Their course In advis
ing delay 1* not approved by tha Chris
tian Scientists, who want Mrs. Eddy
the lawyers. It Is plain that they Intend
g* of every possible
to take advantage
(scum for delay.
In forecasting privately the prob
able mure* of tha litigation they are
Inalstent upon setting fbrtTi the many
opportunities there are for procrasti
nation In the New Hampshire law.

torneys representing Ihe petitioner! tn

In Its last Issue says:
Like a spiral spring released. New Orleans shot forward after the
yellow fever of 1808 had laid bare Its harmlessness ,and at tha class of
1808 the city had advanced In material prosperity to a position of envlabls
Importance In the municipalities of America.
Pgrhaps one of the most significant showings was mads by our
great financial Institutions when the bank clearings for 180S went over
the billion dollar mark, or showing an Increase of over half a billion
over the year previous. The exact figure* are •1,080,812,808, or 367,480,-
848 over the year before, breaking all previous records.
The postal receipts showed a gain of 882,088.13. The receipts for 1808
10.318.1
were 3736.318.80; for 1308 they were tt32.147.?l.
In the matter of exports and Imports another big leap was taken,
both together aggregating over 1200,000,000 for 1808, placing New Of

Realty values have made astounding advances, one of the features
of which has been the draining and reclamation of swamp lands hlthef
tn practically^ valueless, now held for figures which 1 pome years ago
ago
would have been laughed at.
During the first ten months of 130S there were received here !»,-
600.000 bushels of grain, compared with 26.SOO.OOO for ths previous year.
During the first ten months of 1804 thee* receipts ware but 10,000.000.
The total wheat shipments from New Orleans during the tan months
ending October 31, 1308, were 6,000,000 bushels, compared with only
334.000 bushels last year.
^ Inmost* the export* were 6.0M.000 as compared with 318,000 bushels
In rice exports another gratifying Increase was shown, there bet tut
shipped last year up tn October 11, 838,000 bags compared with 303.000
bags for the same period In 1802.
Tobacco shipment* aggregated 33,768 hogsheads aa against 18.382
tor tha year prior.
The coffee Imports showed the most phenomenal gain. In 1106 there
were Imported here 44,336,717 pounds of coffee. The fiscal year ending
June 30, 1*08. showed Imports of 211.011710 pounds, or an Increase of
