"The merry whistle of the postman"
and utl that port of thing at Christmas
time Is a very pretty sentiment If you
aren't the pn.vtumn. The way he re
gards It was expressed by one of his
kind yesterday:
"Merry Christmas? Oh, yM. It's
merry enough, we've got a cinch mak
ing other people happy, but this job of
acting the puck hoise, making u thou
sand miles a day nnd freezing every
exposed part of your body Isn't what
lt'. cracked up to lie. About the only
satisfaction we get out of the work
these days Is in being looked upon ns
a medium between the giver nnd the
giver. Try It for eight hours a day
with a load higher than your neck nnd
these slippery walks and the Icy cold
and see how you like It!"
Koine reason lor the pessimistic sen
timent of the postman was found dur
ing the visit of n Tribune reporter to
the postofllre yesterday, when the vast
quantity of mail matter handled was
about the same ns on Wednesday and
Thursday, tint for the fact that ITncle
Sain dees not tjut any limit on the
number of hours the clerks shall work
he does In the case of letter carriers
the business of the olllce would be
hopelessly blocked nnd choked. As It
Is. one woiiiIts how the employes art
able to band'" the tons of packages,
parcel.-, littets and papers und d It
without confusion, and with compara
tively no loss, damage or mlseairiage.
IU'SH EOIt STAMPS.
An extra window for stamp sales has
been open since Wednesday, but from
early In the morning until the win
dows close In the evening, the experi
ence and alacrity of the stamp clerks
have been taxed to the utmost. The
rule of the postal department, that
purchasers of stamps shall "do their
own licking." has been waived for the
reason that Its enforcement would
mean a perpetual blockade In front of
tin' windows. As fast as packages are
weighed the necessary amount of post
age Is written on them with a pencil
and they me tossed aside to be stamped
when opportunity offeis.
Seveial large ci acker barrels have
been .setting alongside the stamp clerks
and every few minutes one of the bar
rels had to be emptied. The rush of
letters and the business of the money
order and legistry departments has
been correspondingly great and nt nil
hours of the day there have been
crowds about the windows of the two
latter departments waiting patiently
for their turn. All except the nctuilly
necessary daily routine of the olllce
has had to be abandoned entirely or
until late In the evening. In order that
every available clerk might aid in
handling mail matter and assist In the
business of the money order and reg
istry windows.
The o'nly joy to the postman was the
satisfaction uf knowing that no earthly
power could force him to work more
than eight hours u day. That much
thanks Is due to his union organiza
tion and the eight-hour law.
TO THE LIMIT.
While the carrier was working, he
wns doinff It to the limit. They man
aged to make all their scheduled trips,
but this wouldn't have been possible
had they not possessed the pecull ir
knack of tramping about like beasts
of burden nnd had the abll'ty to lug
countless bundles of all sotts and sizes
with an abandon that puts the most
expert woman shopper and baby car
rier to shame. Their onlv extra help
was that made possible by the use of
a paltry $M allowed by the govern
ment for substitutes during the month.
At all hours from .1 to 7 o'clock jvs
tenloy the cancelling and distributing
tnble.s In the postolllce looked as
though Santa Claus had dumped theie
ou all his earthly posresslons and
some borrowed tor the purpose. The
cancelling of the stamps was facili
tated as icgards the letters by the
recently acquired double cancelling
machine, which runs by electricity and
puts black smudges of Ink nnd 'post
marks cm two letters at a time, faster
than a person can count them. The
machine had but slight rest yesterday.

CIVIL SGRVICE APPLICANTS.
Ought to He Posted on the New Ap
plication Holes.
Persons intending to try for govern
inent positions through civil service ex
aminations will not. In future, bo treat
a as leniently as In tlir past. If their
applications are late.
The United titntcv civil service com
mission has ordered that the usual
dates for tho regular seml-an-unnuul
postolllce. custom housp nnd
Internal revenuo examinations for
189S be so chnnged ns to allow the
widest possible use of tho First. Second
nnd Third grade basis serlew of exam
ination questions in all examinations
of corresponding grades. This means
that nil spring examinations for the
services named will be held during the
time the departmental examinations
tile being conducted.
All postolllce, c-uMam lions- and In
ternal revenue examinations for the
spring will be held between March IK
and April 25. No application will be
accepted for these examinations unless
filed by March 1, nnd no exception will
be make to this rule. Probably before
Feb. 1 tho local examining board will
be notified of the exact date for hold
lug the examinations.
A rule has been made that whenever
a date Is set for the close of the re
ceipt of applications for n certain ex
amination, no application will be nc
cepted thereafter for that examination
without the special authority of the
United States commission, Local ex
amining boards, like that In this city,
have been notified by President Porter,
ot the United States commission, not
to ask for the special authority men
tioned In the foregoing unless there
was nmple nnd good excuse for the de
lay In receiving any given application.
Prospective ntipllcnntfl should write or
consult Secretary Shnutz, of the
Scranton general postolllce,
SCRANTON'S CURIOUS ALLEV.
In the Heart nt the City, Hut Little I
Known of It.
A public pasfagewny 1G0 feet long,
I feet wide and running from avenue
to alley through one of the most valu
able blocks In the business Bectlon of
the city Is one of Scrnnton's curiosities.
Its presence Is probably not known to
more than one of every thousand per
sons in the city.
The passageway runs from Wash
ington nvcnuo to Lee court and skirts
the rear of the board of trade building.
The whole of It has disappeared dur
ing the last few days In the excavat
ing for .1. AV. Guernsey's new four
story building opposite the Tribune
building. Until recently a low nnd un
gainly one-story structure faced the
avenue and alongside it wus the pass
ageway. The latter was not. however,
either useful or ornamental. Scarcely
nnyone know It existed und but few
ever made use of It.
When Mr. Guernsey bought the land
for his big music goods structure he
was glnd to learn that for ISO feet along
the whole depth of the lot there wns
four feet of .space which could never
be built up. This space would give
light and air for each of the four stories
of the new structure, which is to be
built against Crowcll's bakery on the
north. Probably not until the Guern
sey building Is finished will the bottom
of the passageway be filled with dirt
and made passable for pcdestilans.
Nobody caies much, but some day It
will be a much-traveled short cut.
The Guernsey building has already
been described In The Tribune. It will
have a stone front nnd extend ISO feet
to Lee court. Nearly all of the rear
part will be devoted to wholesale pur
poses. The street floor front will be
used as a retail music store. There
will be sludlos upstairs.
PRETTV CHRISTMAS SENTIMENT.
Public School Pupils Hid Adieu to
tho Closing Year.
There wns a pretty sentiment yes
terday In connection with tre closing
of the public schools until Monday.
Jan. .1. All over the -city while the
bells were ringing nt noon the follow
ing verses from Tennyson' ' In Me
motiam" were recited by the pupils In
conceit:
King out, wild bells, to tho wild sky;
The flying clouds, the frosty light;
The year Is dying In tho night:
Illng out, wild bells, and let him die.
King out the old. ring in the new.
King, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go:
King out the false, ring In tho trite.
ning In the valiant man and free.
The lnrt'er heart, the kindlier hntul;
King out the darkness of the land.
Illng In the Christ that is to be.
Copies of the stanzas weie furn
ished the teachers two weeks nso, and
they wnv committed to memory by tho
scholars.
DISPUTE OVER COAL ROVALTIES.
I'Hti Duiiinoieaus Sue tho A. D. and

With about half a foot more r,f snow
nothing would be-lucking to make this
the most really lively Chrlstmm Scran
ton has experienced In initnv yenrs.
Everybody says this and wli.U every
body Rays must be so.
That the business men ttntlclpnted
this Is evidenced liv the unusual pre
parations made for the holiday trade
anil thnt they did not go amiss In tiieir
anticipations the appearance of tho
central city streets during the past few-
days and pnrtlculuilv yesterday ntier
noon would Indicate to u surety. Every
store where eiiytliing suitable tor a
Christmas gift was to be had was up
tn its neck In business nnd In many
stores the force of clerks had to bo
generally Increased. During certain
hours of tho afternoon and early even
ing It was Just bardy possible to elbow
one's way Into some of tho more prom
inent stores.
Every person met with was a Santa
Clans nnd when forty or fifty of thes"
Santa Clauses crowded themselves, and
their bundles Into a street car It was
only the spirit of the occasion that pre
vented 111 nuturo.
CHAUlTAliLE WOItK.
The board of associated charities and
the charitable societies connected with'
tho various ihurches were not the
leist busy of bodies yesterday. They
had diligently hunted up deserving
pcor people, that none might be with
out a "Christmas pot" and If any were
wanting this veiy essential adjunct of
the clay It was not the fault of chail
tnble societies.
Elevator boys, janitor, messengers
and olllce boys aie always genet mini
remembered In tills city at Christmas
time, and this year was no exception
to the rule. Few women had more
munificent gifts In proportion to their
wages than the three who el.i the scrub
bing at the city hall. The three of
them received S:,'.'.7"i, the proceed of a
Christmas collection in their behalf
from the city olllclals and clerks.
There Is no particular attraction ar
ranged for toelav but the crowds will
bi on the go ncvor'holiw. enjoying the
usual general ntti actions. Clntrch in
the morning, fanillv reunions at dinner
time and the theatres in the afternoon
and evening Is a programme thai many
will follow.
The pathos of Chiistmastlde. as well
as the Joy, Is nowhere more marked
than In tlv tiivlal scenes and Incidents
of the street. A thinly clad girl of
about 1" years of age, and whose pov
erty nnd fiiendlessness wns no less dis
played In her wan face than by her
attire, was noticed hurrying along with
the crowd up Wyoming nvenue early
last evening.
HOUGH OF EVEItGUEEN.
Under her arm she trailed a bough
of evergreen. It was too small to be
termed a "tree" and too large for a
twig, but It might, by a little Ing n
ulty. be rigged Into some semblance
of the former; It wns too large to be
carried for amusement that was cer
tain. Maybe there was n wealth of
story In nn nppaiontly conimeinpWc
e'Vergtcen bough In the clutch of a
poor, plnch-faced girl, anil maybe there
wasn't: anyhow, few noticed the glil oi
lier burden. It Is possible that today
the Insignificant bough is arranged Into
some fantastic llls ness to a real "tree"
ami there maybe a little gladness in
the heart of a poor household, over
looked by chinches anil benefactors.
