Washington, Sept. 1, 1002. j The letter sent you a week ago eon- j tained ;i brief description of the energet- I ic methods which characterize the-Treasury and Xavy Departments under the present adtniuisi ration, hut it must not be supposed that the spirit of progress is confined to the two deiturtments mentioned. I'erhai>3 the most important division of the work of the government is performed by the Dost Oilice Depart- jj ment, for the reason that its efliciency ; effects every citizen. For a number <>f j years, the extent to which civil service ; reform methods have been carried out in ; this department ha .'e been p'Xiverbial | and when the present postmaster general , assumed office lie announced that there- i after no fourth class postmasters would b9 removed except for cause. But it is, ' ptrhaps, in other directions that the greatest progress is being made. The i extension of the rural free delivery svs- ! tern has progressed with marvelous ra- ' pidity. At the present time, the rural routes cover an aggregate territory of over 250,000 square miles and in that area some 0,000,000 people enj >y the privilege of receiving their mail daily at their doors. Congress has been literal in its appropriations for this purpose and there is every evidence that the people aie l (vratiifnl f \t%i? .d' ?l?u ? i.. ?/nv WI I'lir IIUI.-IU I TTIIJUI r\At ?i>: |( features of 1 he extension of rural routes j, is the great increase in the numl>et- of | letters mailed in the districts served. It | would seem that a daily delivery and [ collection of the mail h ul served to irn- L 1*11 all the residents of the locality l<?J write to their friends a' 1 MSttlirea Li.n-s I as often as hid hitherto been their cus- | \ toin and this^reai increase in the amount 5 ( f mail carried is not limited to the lirsn j few months but continues steidih. *1-I i though in somewhat diminish-! ratio, j The only objectors to the extension of ' the rural delivery routes are star route I carriers whose business is injured thereby, some country merchants who claim that they have suffered a falling off in trade beccuse the t ai mers are no longer comjielled to come frequently to to vu for their mail and certain politicians and their proteges, who see, in the extension 1 of the rural routes a necessary dimiuii- ' tion in the nutnljer of small cross roads 1 post oilices, the poslanasU is for which ' the politicians have always named and j have regarded as essential to the fur ' therance of their pdiiical fortunes. An inteiesting feature of the extension , of the rural service is tlie gradual plat ting of the United States, maps having l?een already made for the large area where the delivery now prevails, each map showing every residence, store, hop,'etc. These maps, under the able , superintendence of Mr. W. A Macheu, | superintendent of the rural delivery di- , vision, are produced at tin exceedingly small cost from data and drawings for- I, nished the post office department by In- ' \ cal assessors, and other officials. They are reproduced by a cheap process and their value when the whole area of the j United States shall have been so mapped ] will prove incalculable. The traveler in ^ the rural districts can easily ascertain , tvl E ROOM F LSTi e prices o?= immer Clothin; lirts, Hats, Shi d Summer Dn j ? . From 2< IAT YOU V ESE PRIC the best roads, the most settled districts, etc., by consulting the post ollice map. Another l)enefit growing out of the rural delivery system is the improvement in / Allttfrtr r/eii lo rnua/knoKlu Smi\ik tintmnr\t I vuunvi j n'd'io, icovn/uaui^ I being essential to the establishment of ' new routes. Another evidence of the spirit of progress exemplified by the i>08toftice department is furnished bv the system of prepaid postage which is being developed by second assistant postmsster general Shellenbarger. Brielly stated, the oropoaed plan consists of the sale of envelopes having a value of 5 cents and multiples thereof, each of which will bear on its face a coupon which will be redeemable in any country belonging to the postal union, in stamps of that country of a similar value. Au international Hearing house is to bB established at heme, Switzerland, where these couoons will be redeemable by the country issuingthem. By their use the resident s)f the United States can purchase for lb cents a return postage euvelope and m it mail a letter to Germany The re oinient of the letter can take the empty -nvelone to the post otfiee there and exchange it for postage with which to mail !h? answer to the United States.

The Southern railway have agreed to stop their early passenger train during the meeting for the accommodation of delegates and visitors. All are invited to attend these services.
