THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY aiORNHSTGr, tTANUART 150, 1S!7. 11 Practical Jokes of a Clever Ventriloquist,-;' Charles A, Hartley Writes m the, New York Journal of lias Amusing Experiences, Hnmmersteln's blpr Olympln was thronged the other evening when I strolled In. Not a seat was to he had at the Olympla that night. "While awaiting for the curtain to go up I amused myself at the expense of a part of the audience standing about me. "Hats off!" I shouted as from afar off. A hundred hats were'doffod. "Everybody sit down!" I next called In a voice which, I gathered from the expression on the faces of those near by, came from the stage. Instantly the balsony tiers responded. All sat down but one man who hugged the brass rails, and who doubtless, thought that to surrender his position for a moment meant a supreme effort to recover It. "The gentleman .standing will sit down!" I called again. He moved about uneasily. "Sit down!" I commanded peremptor ily, while the crown around lilm urged him to obey. He stood his ground. By this time the commotion had at tracted the pations of the boxes and the upper tiers. In a voice loud enough to be heard In any part of the immense theatre I cried: "John, go uj in the second tier, and tell that man with the white overcoat to sit down!" "Say, do you hear up there? If you don't sit down, I'll go up there and put you out!" He sat down Instantly, nmld the laughter of the audience. He was an obstinate subject, but I mastered him. A GAS PIPK THAT TALKS. An unused gas pipe leads to the wait ing room of the "L" road station at One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street and Eighth avenue. It has served as a medium of great amusement to the numerous road patrons, who frequent ly may be seen there on storm;, nights, after leaving the trains, taking up the warmth of the generous red-hot stove preparatory to setting out for their homes across town. The Innocent old gas pipe already has a history. I have had many a poor fellow shouting at It till one would think the lower lobes of his lungs must rent. The Illusion is very easily car ried out with the aid of a confederate, who opens the sennce with an observa tion which runs like this: "Do you know, Mr. Hartley, that this pipe is connected with a telephone wire which runs over the top of this station? We have discovered that you can call up anybody here by tapping on this pipe." My confederate by way of il lustration, then lightly taps the pipe. The rest is plain sailing for me. I have often Invoked the aid of that pleasant-faced young operator at the station, John H. Collins. An amusing incident In which one "Ward proved the butt of my ridicule happened only a few weeks ago. "Ward Is an extra gate man at Bleecker street. He had just posted the porter at the "chopper" while he attended to the fire In the waiting room. Like many others lie wanted to hear the telephone. He knocked smartly at the pipe and placed his ear close up to It. "Whom do you wish to speak with?" asked Collins. "Whom do you wish to speak with "With Dickson, down at Bleecher street," replied "Ward. "All right," said Collins In the same breath, calling: "Hello, Dickson!" The work of my Confederate here ceased. "Hello!" I called In the telephone voice. "It that you. Ward?" "Yes. Hello, Dickson! Hello, hello, hello! Well, is that you Dickson? Walt a minute." Then aside to those present ho re marked: "Well, upon my word, if this thing happened a hundred years' ago we would have all been hanged," Resuming his conversation with the supposed Dickson, he observed: "Say, Dickson, I'll be down at 12 o'clock. I can hardly believe my senses that I am talking with you. It'S'over an old gas pipe here I am talking." Then the poor fellow glued his ear to the pipe and held his overcoat lapel to his ear, so that no wound could escape, "Say, Ward, can you hear mo?" came the voice, "Yes; I can recognize your voice." "Say, Ward, what time is It?" "Eight o'clock." What time, will you be down?" "Twelve o'clock." "What?" "Twelve o'clock," echoed Ward, I can never resist the temptation to worry my vic tim, bo In a voice almost Inaudible, I called: "Hello, Ward, what time did you say you .would be down?." , HELD UP. "Twelve o'clock," shouted Ward. "I can't hear you." "Twelve o'clock," shrieked Ward, and he rapped on the pipe, as if to restore to the wires some dormant voltaic energy. "1 can't hear you," I called again. "Speak louder." "Twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock. Do you hear that? T-w-e-1-v-e!" thunder ed Ward. He had crown hoarse from shouting. "Oh, yes, I understand," said the supposed Dickson. I will look for you at twelve. Good-by." "Good-by," said Ward: "I'll be there, Dickson." An asumlng climax to the Ward epi sode happened the next night that Ward was assigned to the station. He had not been let Into the joke yet. Op erator Collins was much alarmed when he heard from his inner olllce a loud pounding in the waiting room. He rushed out "to learn the cause of the unusual noise. There he beheld poor Ward belaboring the gas pipe with a poker, shouting between the blows: "Hello, Dickson!" FUN WITH A TAILOR. II. Lundstedt shares his tailor shop with the little button store of L. Cau mont, on William street, near Beek man. If he ever knew of ventriloquism before, he had, up to the time I entered his store one day last week, quite for gotten it. "Lundstedt!" I called from the roof. His face assumed a very serious look, and he listened attentively, as if doubt ing that he heard his name called. "Lundstedt, come up here. I want you to measure me for a suit of clothes!" "Where are you?" he replied, breal Ing the stern aspect of his expressive face. "Here on the roof. Come up here." "All right," and he donned his coat and hat and started up in quest of his supposed customer. "Hey! Go back and get your rule and tape," the voice cautioned him, having observed that he left them be hind. He laughingly obeyed, then hurried out, vntered the hall around the cor ner and ascended the stairs to the sev eral llnors of the building. He searched high and low, but. his customer failed to materialize. After a fruitless search In the stores next door, he returned in disgust to his store, while I, observing him about to enter, answered to his supposed tor mentor: "What? Yes. Mr. Lundstedt has just gone up to see you." At this point he entered the door and heard me call back in answer. "Ah! Here he is now!" "Confound ItL" ejaculated Lunstedt, "I've been all over the neighborhood! There's nobody wants me!" "Lundstedt!" I called No response. "Lundstedt!" He trained his ear In the direction of the sound, which seem ed to come from the celling or the wall. "Lundstedt!" I repeated. Slowly he tiptoed about around the room, placing his ear to the cracks in the wall, In the meanwhile rappng on the partition. "Lundstedt!" came the voice from the stove pipe running along the ceiling. He thought he had at last located the souroe of the sound, and thereuuon bounded over tho counters at the open end, where one or two Joints hail been removed. "Hey!" yelled Lundstedt lustily. "Come down and show yourself!" while he smiled In a way that seemd to say: "At last I've not him!" "I'm on the tenth door," came back the reply. "I guess he doesn't hear me," re marked Lunstedt to those in the store, forgetting that there were not one-half of ten stories. In the building. "Likely," I observed. "You had bet ter answer louder," adding, as from the iilpe: "What did you say?" "Come down. What Is your number? Where Is your otllco?" "Did you speak to me?" I called In the faintest tone. "Yes; I can't tell where you are. I ant wlllltur to go to jour olllce," he re plied, with all the energy he could af ford to purt with. A READ SREAKlka TUBE. Mr. F. N. Bunger Is the owner of a hotel bearing h!s name on upper Len ox avenue. His place has been the scene of many ludicrous episodes. - Llfe. wherein the gonial Fred figured us the inciter of mischief. Fred is a creut favorite among his friends, and takes and gives a joke with becoming grace. He determined to get square on certain friends In a way that would leave no doubt as to who was the most practical in perpetrating a Joke. So one Saturday evening ho said to me: "Say, Mr. Hartley, come over to my place. I want to get even on some jokers who have been mak ing life a burden to me." I consented, on condition that, If discovered, ho would guarantee me full Immunity from the attacks of the victims. "You see," ho said, "I have put in a speaking tube leading to tho upper Hoars. I want you to run my party up against It, 'and make them think they aie talking to some one." It so hap pens that this Is one of the easiest of all my exploits, for It requires the use of that voice resembling the sound we hear over a telephone. I stood quietly smoking and chatting with a friend near the tube, when a loud call Issued apparently from the tube. Bun ger Immediately responded and called back: "What do you want?" "It Frank Horn there?" came the voice from the tube. Mr. Horn "bit" with alucrlty, and,' going over to the tube, cried out: "Yes; here I am!" "Who Is there with you?" Horn gave the names ot Creger, Stone, Harklns, Nelson, Rogers, Mortens, Haines, Simpson, Dale and Morris. "Very well. Now,- we are going to give a quiet little card party, and we want you all to come up. Tell the oth ers to wait. You come up right away," piped the voice from the tube. "All light!" he cried, and off ho wont, The voice was heard by all in the room, and one by one I culled all the others up to the tube, and one by one they quickly made fcr the upper doors. It so happened that the families above knew nothing about the affair, but when they saw the halls of the fiat Idl ing up with strange men they all rushed down to learn the cause. The joke was too much for poor Frod, and he rolled on the door in his merri ment. I softly stole away, but from across the street I heard load peals of laughter, which seemed to leave no doubt that Fred had got square on hU fi lends. MISS "A CASE OF PINTS." John Bertram is the proprietor of the big entertainment hall at the corner of Fulton street and Brooklyn avenue, Brooklyn. There is a telephone con nected with his place. I had just con cluded an entertainment slven by the Bravura council, Royal Arcanum, and was the uuest of honor at a pleasant repast given by Its members. By my side were Joseph Carey, the mimic; James McKernan, the popular song writer; Frank Harridan, Harrison and Wheeler, Mays and Hunter, the banjo kings, and other lesser lights known in the hlzljer class of vaudeville talent. 1 resolved my "toast" Into an exploit, and poor Betrain was the lotim. Retrain!" called a voice from the telephone. "Hello, Retrain!" Hollo, hollo!" responded Bertram in good Teutonic dialect, as he entqre'd'the1 room. "Who is It?" , , ' "Sind sic da?" inquired the voice. "Ya; was woolen sie habe?" roared Bertram. "Send over a case of pints," ordered the oIce, "Right away," said the voice. ' I say, where shall 1 send It?" "All right; I'll wait for you," Intend ing to make Retrain think the order was acknowledged,' "No, no, no, no! Walt! I don't know who it is!" said Bertram. "All tight; send it oyer right away!" reiterated the voice. Changing the voice, as If "Central" hail Interrupted, I calh'd: "Are you through?" "No, Central, don't cut us off! Wait, Give mo that man again Hello!" "Ring off!" came the tone of Central. "Ach, it, Central! It's always the way!" and he banned the receiver against the wall with a force that must have divorced the sensitive little dia phragm from Its magnet. A loud roar of pent-up laughter greet ed his last ebullition of anger and he sheepishly withdrew, after being In formed that ho was only another victim added to my long list. 0. A.

HISTORY OF EARLY POSTAL FACILITIES Tbc Mail Delivery in Northeastern Pennsylvania. REMINISCENCES OF OLD LUZERNE History of the Wilkes Bin re I'ost-oflicc--l'toiiiiiient Men Who IIuvci Served as lostiiiusters--iiic Means Kniploycd to Deliver Letters at the Opening of the Present Century Old 1'anilics !tccallcd--Thc New Ollice. From the Wllkes-Barre Leader. The announcement of the intended removal of the postollice on Feb. 1, 1SD7, from Its present location In Music Hall block, to a large, commodious, well ap pointed, thoroughly ventilated and Il luminated structure about to be erected by Martha B. Phelps on lots 1U and IS, North Main street, marks another epoch In the progress of the city, which will go down in the annals of history as one of the most Important of the period. Tlio postollice has been moved from time to time, since Its establish ment 102 years, ago, and the occasion has ever been considered an indication of municipal growth and necessity. The history of postollices all over these United States, Is a history of removals to meet the denuuuls and condition of the times and the Wllkes-Barre post ollice has been no exception. Estab lished In 171)4, at the corner of River and Northampton streets It has been re moved from place to place as the city giew in population and the mail busi ness Increased, until the present time, when arrangements have been made for another change, this time, and by the way, the only time in Its history, to a building erected specially for its ac commodation upon plans approved by the postollice department. The history of tho mail service in "Wllkes-Barre opens with the establish ment of a mall route between Hartford, Conn., and the Wyoming Valley in 1777. Pievlous to that what little mall passed between these points, was car lied by private messeliger, but in that year, Prince Bryant was employed as post rider and made the trip once every two weeks. While Brvant carried the mall, ho also delivered it, but the mat ter srrew in bulk and other means had to be devised for distribution. A post ollice was decided upon and was estab lished In 17!M. Lord Butler wnu ap pointed the llrst postmaster and opened the otllco at the corner of Northampton and River streets. It was crude as to appointments, but In the eyes of the a Wagers it was a S'l'eat establishment and the postmaster was an important personage. The malls continued as be fore until 1797, during which year week ly malls were inauguinted and carried between Wllkes-Barre and Kaston. In the following year mall routes were es tablish between Wilkes-Banv and Great Bend, an'd Wlikcn-Ilarre add Owego, N. Y. Other riders nueeoded Bryant until 1&0G, when Messrs. Robi son and Arndt commenced running a two horse Mairo once a week, between WIlUes-Barre and Kaston. From that date until the present the mnll fervice, has giown with the development of th.j country, until today the prstolllce 13 the exchange pulnt for about ninety routes, employes a' large number of men, and handles thousands upon thousands of dollars every year. FIRST POSTMASTER. Tho drst postmaster of Wllkes-Barre, as has been stated, was Lord Butler, who was appointed in 1794 and con 'tinued In ouiee until. 1S02. The post ollice stood on the corner of North ampton and River streets, and was a most unpretentious building. In the latter year Butler was succeeded by John Hollenbuok, who served until 1S05, When the ;mstoflloo whs located at that time eunnut be stated deilnllely, but It Is said to have been op tliu west side of Public Square. Ezeklel Hyde succeeded Hollenback, and solved a portion of the year, 18Q3, when lie was relieved by John Huneock, who con tinued In olllce until 180S. Jacob Cist, a promlnont citizen and one of tl earliest politicians, Mllililtuiteil Run cock In the latter year ami gave such satisfactory service that he was con tinued In ofllce until 1820, During Cist's term as postmaster the ofiice was lo cated on River street, aliout where tlie old McC(li)tock hometjteail stands, )t In 1828, when Andrew- eaumi)ltt was appointed, thp olice was removed, tu West Market street, t(l the site now occupied by Rep Dllley's hotel, Post master Reaumont wan a conspicuQps figure of his time and whs the father of our Hohtlnr-tiAViisman, tiqlouol iju geno R. Beaumont. The next postmas ter was William Ross, who served three years, or from 1832 to 1835, and kept the olllce on South Ma'n street, about where the Boston Store stunds. He was suc ceeded by Daniel Codings. Codings kept u small watch repairing estab lishment on the site now occupied by Arthur Fcatherstouc, on the north side of Public Square, formerly Billy Mc Laughlin's, and ho Is described by old I acquaintances as having boon an oblig ing old gentleman, yet not too fond of work. Tho letters were kept In a little ' square frame tilled with pigeon holes, each bearing nn initial. The postmas ter Invariably occupied a backless chair with sheep skin bottom, bo situated that ho could receive or deliver mall without rising. The stage arrived dally I from Easton and New York, another from Harrisburg and another from Tunkhannock. Codings continued as postmaster until 1811, when A. O. Ca- hoon was appointed. Mr. Gaboon upon receiving his com mission, Immediately removed the of- flee to a location about whore John Hughes' merchant tailoring house stands on West Market street today. The new- postmaster made many Im provements, chief amon:; them being j the Introduction of pilvate boxes, j These were propel 1y numbered and with ' a glas3 front made quite an attiac- j tlve appearance Mr. Cahoou 'served J until 1813 when J. I'. LeClerc was ap- j pointed, LeClerc again moving the olllco back to Public Square, near the old olllce formerly occupied by Codings. After servlnu two years. Le Clerc was 'relieved of the postmnstcrshl'.i and E. B. Colllnss, sou of Daniel, smcceeded him. The olllce was removed to the site now occupied by Lewis Brown's grocery store. Codings was a very pop ulur postmaster. One sister, Mrs. A. J. Baldwin, lives in Plttston, at pres ent; three others, Mrs. Charles Dough erty, mother of Colonel C. Bow Dough erty, Mrs. John B. Davidson and Miss Eliza Colllnss live in this city, and Mrs. Raub, a grand-daughter at Dalds. The male members of the Codings' family were iironilnent In state poli tics. Samuel P., a brother of the post muster, being a vigorous editorial writ er on the Farmer later the Luzerne Union, and now the Leader, a staunch Democratic paper, and later lie was consul to Algiers. Succeeding Colllnss came Steuben Butler, son of Colonel Zebulon Butler, who commanded the Continental foices on that memorable 3rd of July, I77S, at Forty Fort, and whose bones have mouldered to dust neath the Wyoming monument. He assumed the duties of postmaster In 1SI!) mid continued in olllce until 1S53. During his adminis tration the oillee occupied a building which stood where Shupp's Jewelry store stands on West Market street today, and is well remembered by the older residents. He was the father of C. E. Butler, the West Market street stationer. Besides the latter, Postmas ter Butler Is survived by the follow ing daughters: Mrs. Thomas S. Mur ray, of Trenton. N. J.; and Mrs. Straw bildge, of Danville. Tho hitter's hus band wus one of the most prominent surgeons of Ids time and was a medi cal director In the United States army. Mr." Butler was relieved or the post masteishlp In 1S3I! and John Relchard, father of our townsman, Colonel George N. Relehard, succeeded him. REICIIARD'S APPOINTMENT. Mr. Relchard's appointment was not due to personal solicitation, but to sat isfy the demands of the occasion. As soon as Colonel Itendrlek B. Wright was elected to congiess, a number of aspirants for the pr.htinustershlp sprung up. Tho fight mart-owed down to two, and the friends of each waged relentless war upon the other. As the best way out or the dldiculty Congress man Wright suggested that Mr. Relch aid accept the appointment as a man salisfactniy to o,ll elements and ho did so. He served one year, and resigned, lie hod previously founded the large brewery in the northern part of the city which still bears his name, and duties involved in its management pre cluded the possibility of serving as postmaster and he sent In his resigna tion. At this time the ollice remained in the obi budding on West Market street, used by Stephen Butler, but when Jacob Sorter, or Uncle Jake, as-" he was familiarly called, was appoint ed In 1S54 to succeed Mr. Reiehaid, he removed the oitlcc to the site now occu pied by Featherstnne's saloon on Pub lic Square and later to the American House, now the Bristol House on Public Square. Mr. Sorber served as post master until IS.'S and retired, living in ISO I. He is survived by his widow who lives at 13.. Jackson street. E. Li. Cei lings was appointed for the second time. The latter continued in ofllce until 1EC1, when S. M. Barton succeeded him. During Mr. Ration's term, the ofllce wus removed from the Bristol House to a building on Public Square, about where Hart's dm;; stoie stands at present. E. II. Chase sucevded Mr. Rnrti'ii and set veil from ISC5 to 1S07, when he was superseded by Peter Pur sel. The latter served two years. He was the father of our townsman, Art Pursel, and of Mrs. Eden Beyea, of Luiiiuore.. He died In this city twenty two years ago; in 18G9 Stewart Ploice was appointed .postmaster and immediately removed the olllce from .Pu'dlc Square to Wist Matket strict to'the room now occu pied by Tliclss insurance office. II ore It continued to'remaln until 1877 when It was remevod by his successor, Doug lass Smith, to the present quartets in Music Hull block. During tho Centen nial in Philadelphia, among the thou sands of exhibits, was a model post of fice fixture. Mr. Smith saw it and con cluded it was ju'it what was need in Wilkes-Bane. He purchased it the fol lowing ytnr. and subsequently discov ered that It was too high tor the room in which tho postollice was located. An other bad to be found and tho Music Hall room was taken, in 1881, A. S. Orr succeeded Mr. Snilth and served until 18S5. Tho succeeding postmasters are us follows: Joseph K, Robert from August let, lSSC, to tho time of his death, l-'elnuiiry ;i, 1&S7: Mrs. Mary E. P, Bofivrt, Apill S, 1&87, to March 1, 18U2; L. U.
