BUBAL FREE DELIVERY.
Its Rapid Growth nnd Powerful In
fluence in Promoting Progress.
Hon. A. W. Machen, In tho July Success.
Of all tho Institutions that promote
tho progress of tho United States, there
is no other, to my mind, that compares
In Importance with free rural mall de
livery. Although It Is scarcely five
years since the system was adopted, It
has already revolutionized social, busi
ness, and economic conditions In terri
tory covering more than one hundred
thousand square miles. Its popularity
Is Increasing at a rate exceeding that
attending any Improvement heretofore
attempted In the postoftlce service, and
It means more In the way of personal
happiness and public advancement than
anything else of which I know.
The Importance of this new branch of
the postal service Is best Indicated by
the rate nt which It has grown. We
began, In 1S96, with an appropriation of
forty thousand dollars. For three years
previous to thut, congress had made,
each year, an appropriation; but. with
declining revenues and Increasing de
ficits, the postoflicc department had
been loath to take any step that might
Involve additional burdens. As th)
matter of establishing rural routes had
been left to the discretion of tho postmaster-general,
the appropriations were
unused. In 1S96, congress, in making
the appropriation, embodied u manda
tory clause) and, Willi much misgiving-,
Postmaster-General William L. Wilson,
in October, 1806, established the first
route, which was out of Charleston,
West Virginia. On the first of July,
1897, only forty-three routes were in
operation. Today there are more than
six thousand routes, serving- six hun
dred thousand farmhouses, In which
live more than four million people. It
requires some experience of life in the
country, under old conditions, to realize
what it means to these people to be
suddenly brought from an isolated pos
ition Into dally touch with tho outer
world, the news and events of which
had only sifted to them at haphazard.
Tho territory covered by the rural
routes Is equal to about ono hundred
and twenty thousand square miles,
equaling In area the New England
stntes, New York, and New Jersey.
Eventually they will cover ono million
square miles or more. The appropria
tion for the maintenance of the service
advanced from $40,000, in 1897, to $50,
000, in 1S9S; $100,000, in 1899; $450,000, in
1900; $1,750,000, in 1901. For the fiscal
year ending- June, 1902, we have an ap
propriation of $3,500,000. Of this sum,
three million dollars will be required to
maintain the more than six thousand
routes, the cost of each being five hun
dred dollars. Nearly five hundred
thousand dollars will be used in the
expense of administration. For the
year 1903, the department has requested
an appropriation of $6,250,000, and there
is not the slightest doubt that It will
get It, for members of congress are
agreed that no other single item In our
annual expenditure brings anything like
a proportionate return to tho people.
ANTIQUITY OP CARDS.
From an Exchange.
The game of cards was first played in
the East, and seems to have had a mili
tary origin. Curds were introduced
from Asia to Europe at tho time of the
Crusades, und were first used by ne
cromancers to tell fortunes. They soon
became a popular amusement In tho
south of Europe, where the Saracens
and Moors taught tho people how to
use them, nnd curd playing spread to
all parts of the continent. The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph I in 1275, was fond of tho
game, and played with his courtiers,
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture of cards became extensive, but
declined somewhat when card playing
was forbidden by several of the Ger
man States and by the English govern
ment on account of tho supposed Im
moral tendency. Before the era of pa
per, cards In the Orient wcro made of
Ivory, papyrus nnd canvas, less fre
quently of the precious metal, and qulto
commonly of wood.

They Were Loath to Go on Strike
When the Men Were Pirst, Called
Out Washerles of tho Delaware
nnd Hudson and Erlo Companies
Eesumed Yestorday No Opposi
tion Was Made by the Miners.
Some Pacts About the Anthracite
Coal Mining Industry.
Twenty miners employed ns rockmen
at the Oxford colliery, of the People's
Coal company, returned to work yes
terday, They wcro employed at driv
ing a tunnel when tho strike was de
clared, and went out with the miners
when tho Rockmen's union decided to
Join In the strike.
Several times In the enrly part of the
strike the employes of tho People's Coal
company evinced a willingness to re
turn to work If they could do so with
out getting their names on the unfair
list. The officers of tho company made
a proposition to the officers of the
United Mine Workers that they would
grant every concession any other com
pany made, providing the Mine Work
ers' union would consent to their em
ployes returning to work to get out
coal for local trade only. The matter
was considered at a conference In
Wilkes-Bnrre between President Mitch
ell and District Presidents Nlcholls nnd
Fahey, and the proposition, together
with similar ones from several other
Independent companies, was vetoed.
The Oxford miners were making big
money and had no grievances. It was
with reluctance they responded to the
strike order. If a break comes In tho
strikers' ranks, tho People's company
employes can bo expected to be far
from the last to return to work.
WASHERIES RESUME.
Two more washerles were started up
yesterday, the Grassy Island of the
Delaware and Hudson company, at
Olyphant, and the Hillside colliery of
the Erie company, nt Plttston. The
opening of these washerles were at
tended with no hostile demonstrations.
The strikers evidently have given up
hope of being able to prevent their
operation.
The Delaware and Hudson company
thought that possibly there would be
trouble attending the resumption of
work at the Grussy Island and had
Sheriff Schadt and a number of his
deputies on hand to forestall It. Their
services, however, were not required.
Tho Grassy Island continued to oper
ate after the strike was declared, but
closed down eight days later, when 1,
500 strikers marched on the works and
drove out the employes. Rather than
foment trouble the company allowed
the plant to lie Idle until yesterday.
The current number of the Black Dia
mond contains the following:
In view of the great strike now In pro
gress In tho anthracite coal regions ol
Pennsylvania, tho following facts will
prnvo of interest:
The fields that supply practically tho
entire anthracite product of the United
States aro situated in eight counties of
ICastern Pennsylvania. Tho number of
mines and washerles and the number of
operators in rach of these counties, and
tho total production of coal in each last
year in tons of 2,210 pounds aro given in
tho following table:
Mines. Operators. Product.
Carbon 9 ii 1,781,21(1
Columbia 4 3 9S3.207
Dauphin 2 1 741.5S1
Lackawanna 00 31 16,154,0(9
Luzerne 117 50 21,578,123
Northumberland .... 26 12 4.SS0.1U7
Schuylkill S6 42 13,IOtf,XS
Sullivan 2 2 123.!'29
Susquehanna 3 1 513,918
Totals 330 150 (HUM, 530
Tho total number of operators In tho
eight counties is less than that given
above, as several operators have mines
in more than ono county. For example,
tho Delaware and Lackawanna company
has seventeen mines In Lackawanna
county and six In Luzerne county. It Is
therefore counted twlco in tho above
table, although no company Is counted
more than once In a county.
TOTAL SHIPMENTS.
Deducting tlio coal consumed nt tho
mines and sold to tho local trade, tlio
total shipments of anthracite last year
were BU.fiDi.KO tons, as against 45,ai7.C2J
tho previous year, and 47,823,211 In ISM).
Of last year's shipments, 03,25 per cent,
wont to tho markets of Pennsylvania,
Now York and New Jersey, 13 per cent,
to thoso of tho New England states; 11.96
per cent to thoso of the Western slates;
4 per cent, to thoso 'of tlio Southern
states, and 3.01 per cent, to thoso of
Canada.
Commercially, tho anthracite coal fields
aro divided into three regions. Geologi
cally, they aro divided Into four separato
fields or basins, and again, for conven
ience of Identification, Into districts.
Tho Northern geological Held Is the Wyo
ming region and Includes the districts of
Carbondale, Scranton, Plttston, Wllkes
Iinrre. Plymouth nnd Kingston. The
Eastern Middle geological field is tho Le
high region, and includes the districts of
Green Mountain, Black Creek, Hazlctou
and Beaver Meadow. Tlicro aro two geo
logical fields In tho Schuylkill region. Tho
Southern Includes tho districts of West
Schuylkill, Larberry and Lykcns Valley,
while the Western Middle Includes tho
districts of East Mahanoy, West Ma
hanoy and Shamokln, Tho products of
tho different geological fields, although
In many respects Identical, vary consid
erably In character and nullity, ranging
from tho heavy and hard coal of iho
Lehigh reglun to tho lighter nnd more
free-burning varieties of tho Shamokln
and Lykcns Valley district, all having
special merits unci ccnnomlo values for
the different uses to which they aro as
signed. Tho nnthraclto Industry began In 1S20
with a chlpmcnl of 3(J3 tons from tho Le
high region, Tho first shipment from tho
Schuylkill region was 1.4S0 tons In 182.,
Tho first from tho Wyoming region was
7.0UO tons In 1820. In tlio latter year, the
bhlpmciits from Schuylkill and Lehigh,
respectively, wcro 70,973 nnd 23,110 tons,
making the total from tho three regions
112,083 tons. In 1830 the Wyoming output
jumped to 43,000 tons, Slnco then, there
has been a steady increase hi produc
tion In nil the regions, The shipments
from each last year were; Schuylkill,
10,019,501 tons; Lehigh, 7.211,071 tons; Wyo
ming, 30,337,030 tons. Tho average prlco
of unthraclto received at tlio mines lust
year was $1.83 per ton.

MENTION OF
MEN OP HOUR
t
IMPORTANT POSITION HELD BY
JOSEPH D. LEWIS.
Wn3 Ono of the Men to Obtain a
Place in tho New Census Depart
mentWhen Mr. Lowia Was In
This City Ho Was n Member of
Common Council Dr. John M. Car
nochnn, Pormcrly Physician at
Hillside Home Is Now Practicing
at Prlncoton.
The establishment of the permanent
census bureau at Washington will fur
nish regular employment for over 600
clerks, who have been selected from
among some 3,500 who wcro engaged In
tho work up to July. Among the num
ber re-nppolntcd on that date Was Jos
eph D. Lewis, of this city, who Is at
the head of one of the most Important
departments In the census bureau.
"Judge" Lewis, as ho Is familiarly
known, entered the service of the gov
ernment In the spring of 1890. He had
Just been re-elected for a second time
ns common councilman from the Fif
teenth wnrd when the appointment
came to him, nnd ho served continuous
ly through the entire period of the elev
enth census In the division of manufac
tures, editing schedules and reporting
special Industries. When the day for
the organization of councils arrived
Joe was In his seat, having come from
Washington to assist the Republicans
In organizing the body. By reason of
his holding a government position, ho
was declared ineligible to tho seat, and
was not allowed to vote. He thereupon
resigned, and a. special election was
held to -nil tho vacancy.
A peculiar coincidence Is the fact that
Mr. Lewis brother, William, Is now
serving his second term as a represen
tative In common council from the Fif
teenth ward, tho seat which the former
relinquished ten years prior to the hit
ter's first election.
Mr. Lewis remained in the Census
Bureau until late In 1892, being ono of
the last to be dismissed. When ar
rangements were begun for taking the
twelfth census In the summer of 1899,
he was one of the first men selected by
Director Merrlam, and spent the first
six months of his service in Boston,
where he had a large force of clerks
under him.
In the Interim between the taking of
the eleventh and twelfth censuses, Mr.
Lewis served us a clerk to tho commit
tee on states and territories of the
house of rpresentatives. Since re-entering
the census department he has
edited and compiled special reports on
manufactures, recently published. Mr.
Lewis Is homo for a few days and will
return to Washington on Wednesday.
When H. II. Patterson came here
from Philadelphia, a year or so ago, to
take the position of superintendent of
the Scranton Railway company, his
youthful appearance and presumed In
experience caused him to be looked
upon with a suspicion that Influence
with the directorate was and for a long
time would bo his chief hold on his job.
But Mr. Patterson has been a pleasant
surprise to thoso who have watched his
course with tho trolley company. In
an Incredible short space of time he
had mastered the principles and details
of tho business and set about the In
stallation of numerous reforms nnd im
provements in the operation of tho road
which evidenced n head with ideas.
He is an Indefatigable worker, popu
lar with the men and regarded by Gen
eral Manager Silllman as an Indispens
able ally. He Is the kind of young man
Scranton always has a warm welcome
