Work of Publication and Mailing Done in i'lttsbnrs. THE LADIES AKE ALL ENTHUSIASTIC "Christmas Greetings, Pence and Good Will," is to be heralded to 33,000 homeless, friendless persons on the coining Christmas worn, when all should have some reason to be happier than on other mornings just as bright. This is the task that a band of Christiin young ladies of Allegheny have set for themselves and they are working hard to interest others in the s;ood work of sending Cnnstinas letters to those in hospitals, asy lums and penal institutions. The work is called the Christmas L-ttcr Mission, and though it started in London nianyyears apo, its headquarters for the world are now in Pittsburg, this veir for the first time. 3Iiss Sara Carney, of 117 Mon tcrer street, Allegheny, is general business manager for the publications, and is also Secrctarv for Allegheny county. The other j cung ladies in Allegheny, who arc especially interested in he work arc Hisses JIary and Marguerite McCance, Lilhe Coffin, Jennie Harns, Lizzie Sipes, Maggie Donalason, Mollie White and Mrs. Kerr. The object ot the mission is to send a Christmas greeting to each inmate of char itable ana penal institutions and also to distribute on the streets greetings to men out of employment and others whom the letter should please, and perhaps make for him a better way of life. The letters are suitable for hospitals, almshouses, insane asylums, refuges and prisons, and in fact everywhere anyone is liable to feel forgot ten on Christmas Day. DIDACTIC "nOKK ATTRACTIVE. Great care is always taken that the letters do not become prosy, as is too often the case with evangelical work. Attractive pictures, and bright, lriendly reading matter make them always interesting, and they are sure to be read; whereas if the reading was too solid they would be thrown aside and no note taken of them. Beautifulh illustrated cards arc also included in the "letter," and on each is rnntcd a short Scripture test. The packages are put up in envelopes of live different colors, each having different letters, and thus they can be traded around in the hospital wards or wherever they may fall, and one person can read five letters. There are different styles of letters for each department of the work. The chil dren's letters talk o: childhood days, and the pictures are uch as will please the little ones. For weeks after visitors to the hospitals will see the cards stuck up where they can be seen by the little sufferers, and the let-ers are often read over and over again. There are letters for old people. The Germans have a letter in their own language, and the French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Swedish lan guages are also represented. Even the Chi nese are not foi gotten, but this year it was found impossible to secure letters in their language. They will never be left out again, however. There is a special letter for the wander ers. The first page pictures a man, poorlv clad, his stick and bundle before him, sadly gazing toward a mansion, as he lean's against the stone wall reir the gate. It's reading telis of the loved ones at home thinking of him who is no longer with tbem, but a wanderer away from home and friends. These letters go to those oil the street who are apparently away from home, and are friendless. "ft OKK TOE WILMS. G II AN DS. The work of preparing these letters is en tirely in the hands of Mus Carney, of Alle gheny. She selects the reading and the pictures to go w ith it. Then when the print ing is done she reads the proofs -nd has lull charge of the work until it leaves the printers. Then the other young ladies begin their work. They told and get the letters ready to be sent all over the United States. They ha call been working faith fully since eirh in September, and are now ready to -ce almost through their work. The distribution is done bv churches, Sun day schools, King's Daughters and other like organizations which purchase the letters at cost Jroni the Mission. Thirty envelopes, earli containing a letter and a card, are sold tor SI, which is exceedingly che;p, con sidering the amount of work done. There is lint a salaried ofcee connected w.th the Mission, and tl e expenses arc verv light, so that the letters mn be furnished very cheap. Orders ire coming in nlread Among those rcreiveil are orders lor 1 800 from Maryland, 1,000 irom ban Francisco, and JBnv other smaller ordeis. Chicago i sure to tate a gieat main, as Jnhct peni tentiary is annualK visited by the Christ mas Mission Lcitrs. The manager had 35,000 printed this -tear, which is the largest number ever published. They are more attractive, and the general work is better than ever before. Last year 0,600 were ased in Allegheny countv. A great num ber of the churches of all denominations helped in the wurk and arc expected to do the same this year. All the chiritahle aud penal institutions of the county were visited, aud the inmates supplied with the preetings. One jear the letters intended fur the "West Penn Hospital were lost or stolen, and tho-e in that institution urere greatlv disappointed because there were no others to take the place of those that disappeared. a Nrw fad ron I'AKTirS. Sirs. James IS. Scott has inaugurated a very pretty little feature .n this Christmas letter work. She will picsent the children of the Kidgc Aenue Orphans' Home with letters and ordered 2J0 for that purpose. On Wedncsdiv -fteriioon stie gave a tea to a number of l.cr lady lnends, and intro do"ei the idea of folding ami preparing the letters to send to the little orphans on Christmas morning. They are more definite ivbcn the names of the children are on the ravelopcs and they caii see that some one is interested in them. Other "lolding parties" will lollow, and while the ladies arc having a most nleasant time socially ti ey will feel they can add a mite to the Christmas jovs of the orphans and Inendless. Often the letters arc signed bv the ladies. which makes them even more effective than if the mere pnutd nuttei was enclosed. The Christmas Letter Mission is growing very rapuilj. and the lauies are verv ecthti iiastic over their work. They hope next j car to hav e even more attractn c letters and to reach a much larger number of people than this year. The also expect to interest the King's Daughters more largcli, and thus rap.dly spread the good work! The young ladies believe that it is right to make the work of the gospel more attractive, and instead of placing nothing but terrors before those in need of it, to pick out the bright side, aud thus the work becomes more pro ductive of good. They deserve great credit for the hard work they are doing, and it should bear good fruit. The Ladies Delighted. The pleasant effect and the perfect safety with which ladies mav uc the liquid fruit laxa tue Syrup of Figs under all conditions make it their favorite remedy.

POSTMASTER M'KEAN EXPECTS A SUB STANTIAL INCREASE. Easiness of the Offlco Increasing Rapidly Inflect of the Itccent Gubernatorial Election Pittsburg Helping to Support Outsiders Prepared to Stand a Run. Postmaster McKean expects to receive a salary of 50,000 next year as the result of the unprecedented growth of business in the Pittsburg postoffice this year. The salary of the postmaster is based upon the business of the preceding jear. The last year of Postmaster Larkin's term he received a salary of ?3,S00, but the business doue that year gave his successor a salary of 'So.OOO to start with. The business of the Pittsburg postoffice is increasing rapidly but steadily year by veir, but this year it was given an extra boom by the State election. The campaign was conducted largely by mail, each of the three parties -sending out hundreds of thou sands of letters'and circulars. A peculiar feature of the business of the Pittsburg Postofnce Department is heavy daily balances in the money order depart ment in favor of this city. It is a poor day when $5,000 more than is paid out is not taken in, and it occasionally runs up to J15.000 and S20.000. This shows that a vast number of persons outside of the municipal limits are indirectly dependent upon the industries of Pittsburg for support, and also demonstrates that more money is earned in this city than is absolutely necessary for the snpport of its population. Another remarkable fact is that while onlv $000 is retained daily in the money order dep irtment to meet demands for pay ments ot orders Irom other cities, this bal ance has only been exhausted once in the history of the Pittsburg postoffice. As a general thing there is such a rush to buv orders that the daily balance is swelled by several thousand dollars before the claims for l.quidation come in. If there should happen to be a run on this department it would take but 20 minutes to obtain author ity from the Department at Washington to draw upon the United States depository here. DEDICATED TO PAH. TheTVestEnd Maonncrchor Throws Open the Doors of Its Sew Home. Dedicatory services were held in the "West End Maenncrchor's beautiful new hall and club house, Elliott and Steuben streets, last night. The building has two stories and a basement, and in its appointments is a model home for a ruaenncrchor. The cost was about 59,000.

Mrs. Duffy's place was closed several weeks ago for disobedience ot police regulations. Oa Wednesday night it was raided, but Mrs. Duffy feigned a severe illness and said she had not authorized the reopening of the place. The two young women found in the house were arrested, but at the hearing yesterday morning showed how Mrs. Duffy bad im posed on the officers and they were released.

JIWF LITTLE GAME LEFT FOR THE THANKSGIVING DAY HUNTER OF LATE YEARS. He Is Preceded by Too Many Ambitious but Unsportsmanlike Men With Guns and Dogs How City Shootists Often Get Themselves Disliked. The average Thanksgiving Day hunter may as well give over. In the last week in Novsmbei there is in late years no game left for him worth the search. Our laws allow the plover-shooter to sally out in the middle of summer, and if he cannot fill his game bag with plover he, unless a pure bred sportsman, will kill squirrel, quail, grouse or rabbit, or almost auything else he can find, rather than come home empty handed. Ou September 1 the squirrel hunter follows, and he is not usullly much more chivalrous than the plover aud wood cock hunter. By and by the grouse and quail shooters get to work, all before lhinksgiviuc Day, and by the latter part of November the woods are a dreary waste.so far as game is concerned. The average farmer will kill a ribbit, or rather hare, whenever he ranTand the pot hunter" has no creed on the subject, but kills by trap or any other way he can lor filthy lucre's sake Thanksgiving sportsmen were out in force yesterday, along all the lines of rail way, but it is sale to ray thit they didn't get a bird, squirrel or rabbit apiece. About the middle of the afternoon a large gang of men with guns, beagle hounds, terriers and curs of various degrees got on a Pittsburg and Like Erie Railway train at Moon Bun aud they hadn't titlier fur or feather to show that they had been in the woods. They were about as thoroughly disgusted a set as you would see in a coon's age. Country people are largely asking why it is that so many city people, who are patterns of propriety and gentility in the city, be come worse than boors as soon as they strike the rural district!:, and think that much palish is induced by fear of the policeman's club. Not only do many sportsmen act boorishly in the country, not deigning to ask permission to throw down farmers' fences, trample their crops and frighten their stock by shooting and the harrying of dogs, but some, and not a few, are guilty of vandalism that would scarce be believed. It may be that the contents of flasks carried as a curative in case of snake-bite have some thing to do with it. but it there isn't a let up soon there will probably be some extra murder on the March docket of the Criminal Court. One day last week the dogs belonging to a party chased a rabbit under a haystack on the farm of George Phillips, between the Steubenville pike and Beaver road, about nine miles from the city, and as bunny re sisted all ordinary efforts used to dislodge him, the vandals amused themselves by thrusting the muzzles of their guns under the ricks and firing, thus endangering the value of some thousands of dollars' worth of hay. A year or two ago William Quinn's wheat ricks in the same neighborhood were burned to afford sport to some half-drunken rabbit hunters. At Phillips' place the gang was driven off before it did anv burning. One day last week a farmer living a short distance southeast of Kohb station, Montour Bailway, saw a gang of hunters prowling near his barn, and he sneaked up close enough to find out what they hid. Among their "game" were seven fine chickens they had shot on farms in their progress, "barn pheasants" being easier game to some hunt ers than ferrse naturtc The farmer ordered a forward movement and the gang laughed derisively. He then charged upon the louts with a pitchfork. As might be expected, they were cowards and' fled with precipita tion. The Holidays Are Rapidly Appro chl-:-'.
