pumice FAST MAIL.
PLANS FOR DISTRIBUTING THE MAIL
OF CHICAGO A MILE A MINUTE.
Au Underground Trolley System to BB
Worked by Electricity. Advantages
Over the Pneumatic Tubes of Philadel-
phia or the Overhead Trolley.
The Chicago Tribune says: Chicago
will.have the finest mail distributing
system in the world. Think of mail
coursing through subterranean passage-
ways at the rate of a mile a minute!
Yet that is what Postmaster Hesing,
Superintendent J 01111 A. Montgomery,
and Electrician Richard E. Sherman
declare to be a demonstrated reality.
Nothing like it exists in the world, and
Without doubt Chicago will be the first
city to give the new scheme a practical
trial. ,
Last fall John A. Montgomery, Su-
perintendent of Mails, made a trip to
Philadelphia to investigate the pneu-
matic tube mail service in that city.
Upon his return he saidhto Electrician
R. E. Sherman: .
“Sherman, why can’t you invent an
underground apparatus which will car-
_ry all our mails? Maybe you don’t
know it, but we handle from 2'75 to 300
tons of mail a day. Why not get up an
underground electrical car system by
which all this stuif can be transmitted
from the sub-stations to the central of-
fice and thence to the depots?”
That was enough. Sherman caught
the idea, returned to his laboratory, and
soon perfected the system. The details
were forwarded to Washington and a
patent secured June 27. An ordinance
granting to Sherman, his successors or
assigns, permission and authority to 0p
crate electrical tubes and electrical
conduits, with all suitable switches,
branches, turnouts, connections and
stations along, under, and upon any of
the streets, alleys, avenues, tunnels,
viaducts, and under the Chicago River
and its various branches for the pur-
pose of collecting, receiving, conveying,
carrying and transmitting United States
mail packages and all other suitable
commodities. The ordinance further
provides that the construction work
shall be under the direction of the Com?
missioner of Public Works, and that a
deposit of $10,000 shall be made. Pro-
vision is also made that in the construc-
tion of the system a sum not less than
$50,000 shall be expanded the first three
years. The company is also to pay into
the city treasury 80 per cent. per annum
of the gross receipts.
“The system will cost $300,000,” said
Electrician Sherman. “Conduits will
be run from the postofiice to all the sub
stations, depots and newspaper. ofi‘ices.
These conduits will have to go below
the cables and gas pipes—probably from
eight to twelve feet below the surface.
Steel motor cars weighing about 170
pounds each will be run between ‘T’
rails, and will carry from 50 to 100
pounds.
“Both the speed and distance can be
The maximum speed
is over a mile a minute. Four trailers
can be attached to each car. When the
car approaches within 500 feet of its
destination a bell is sounded at the re-
ceiving offiCe and rings until the mail is
removed. ‘
“The underground system of mail
transmission has the advantage over the
midair system in that rails can be used
instead of wires, thus permitting of
heavier burdens, and there is perfect
safety in transmission.”
Proof of It.
“I believe I swallowed some feathers

GEN. HARRISON. ON THE FLAG.
Patriotic an?! Felietious Speech at 3 Flag
Raising at Old Forge.
During his vacation in the Adiron-
dacks, President Harrison delivered an
address at a flag raising at Old Forge.
He said: I. ' "
gThat flag stands to us for a sentiment,
for an institution. In‘itself, in the com-
bination of colOrs that made it, in the
hunting or silk of which it, is made,
there is nothing. It is what it stands
for that makes it dear to us. It is not
the land of ours, wide and rich as it is;
it is not this wonderful scenery that
opens to us here, these mountain peaks,
these grand lakes, these enticing sum-
West, where while we rest the farmer is
pushing the plow to fill the granaries
that can feed the world; it is not this
stretch of land, these rivers and moun-
tains and plains; it is not the product of
these; it is not Wall street; it is not the
Produce Exchahge; it is not bulk meats;
it is nothing that has bulk ; it is something
that lives in the heart—it is an en-
shrined sentiment that makes this flag,
and it stands for a glorious history.
“We look upon that flag, and we
think of Bunker Hill, and we see a gal-
lant band expending the last charge of
ammunition, and battling with clubbed
muskets over the breastworks, retiring
at last defeated. .
“As some one said, the Briton won the
victory that day, and we kept the hill.
It speaks to us of Lexington and Con~
cord, of Saratoga, of Yorktown and of
all of those great achievements. ' We
look upon" it and think of Washington.
We look againgand see the beaming face
of Abraham Lincoln. We look again
and Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
are revealed to us. We see upon its
folds the story of Vicksburg and Chica—
manga and Chattanooga, of Gettysburg
and of Appomattox. It is this story that
is woven in it that makes it precious to
us. It is the thought that it inspires. It
is that for which it, stands—a union of
States—a Government of the people, for
they made it, and by the people, for
they condugigit, and for the people, for
it has missed‘its object if it does not ac-
Complish their good.
“It stands for a Government of law;
for a‘civil organization; for a Constitu-
tion that has assigned powers. It stands
for the thought that our people have
pledged their loyalty to a system of laWs
changed by them; but while they are
laws, demanding allegiance of every
man and woman in the country.
“It is because we have learned the
lesson, and it seems to me the Anglo.
SaXon people, or that people that has
been wrought out of various contribu-
tions that have come to these shores, are
the only people in this world that under-
stand what it is to give tli‘e allegiance of
the mind and of the heart to civil insti-
tutions and not to men.
“What can any man do against that
high on the roll of honor, let him have
intrenched himself ever so strongly in
the afiections of the people, if he raises
his hand against that flag he falls at
once. He'can lead no following against
it or against our free institutions. Why
is it that the south Americancountries
that have imitated our example and or-
ganized republican Governments have
been so racked and tortured with revo-
lutions? It is because they have not
learned this great lesson—to give their
aifections and allegiance to institutions,
to a constitution, and not to a man. In
their impetuosity, in their wild, unreg-
ulated thoughts of liberty, they follow
a cockade and are continually led into
revolution.”
She Understdod the Trick.
“A short time ago,” said Deputy
United States Marshal Harris, “an old 3
rancher up in the mountains of Lake ;
County grew tired of walking five
miles over the hills to get the county
paper from his mail box, so he felled a
big tree across the road so that the stage
would be compelled to travel a longer
route that led past his house. A
Warrant was issued for his arrest for ob-
structing the United States mails, and
I went up to serve it.
“I found the old man sitting on his
back porch smoking his corncob pipe,
sends greeting.’ Just then the long
barrel of a muzzle loading rifle was
shoved out the kitchen door and aimed
at my head. I saw a nervous little
gray-headed woman at the other end of
the gun with her finger on the trigger.
- I Could see a bright gray eye twinkling
through the buckhorn sight as she re-
marked: _
“You git, and don’t you come snoop-
in’ roun’ hyur ag’in. The President
sent his greetin’s onct‘ before when the
ole man out some timber on Govern-
ment land, an’ it cost him ’bout a hun-
dred dollars and mighty nigh a month
in jail. Then he formd out that the
President didn’t know nuthin’ about it.
. If the President wants to be friendly
with” the ole, man he’ll have to come
right hyur without sendin’ no greet’ins.
