At all times during office hours Mr. Heath’s room is filled with persons, who have gone there to converse with him on matters relating to the department, or, as often happens, those relating to other de partments. He is always busy, but alway finds time to settle, in short order, no mat- ter how important it may be, any question which may be brought to his attention. He has well earned the reputation of pos- sessing an unusual amount of executive ability, and an extraordinary grasp of de- tails. : ‘The first assistant postmaster general's office is in the southeastern corner of the Post Office Department building, overlook- ing 7th and E streets. It is furnished with the regulation chairs and sofas, and has a large desk, always piled high with papers of every description. The desk faces toward G street, with 7th at the right hand. It has a desk chair back of it, but, unless it is necessary to sign some docu- ment or make a memorandum, this 1s sel- dom called into requisition. Always on His Feet.

There is no use wasting any further ume, and this is impressed lightly upon the person who has called. Mr. Heath is always at his post by 9 o'clock. Frequently he does not leave un- til 6, and ft is the general rule for him to remain until 5 o'clock. His busiest time, when his office is filled to overtiowing with visitors, is from 9:30 until about 1 o'clock. Between the hours of 10 and 12, many senators and representatives, on their way to the Capitol, visit him in the interests of their constituents, and for discussion of other matters in which they wish his as- sistance. Intermingled with them are peo- ple from all over the country—men who are wanting appointment to post offices of the first-class, those who have complaints to make, or suggestions for improving the system in their cities. Subordinates who want papers signed or some question set- tled are in the throng which Mr. Gary's assistant must meet and send away satis- fled. Confers With His Chief.

If the duties of his office require only seeing and talking to the two hundred or two hundred and fifty persons who some- times visit him in the course of a day, the assistant postmaster general wauld con- sider he had a comparatively easy thing of it, As it is, his labors are just doubled by the mail which he receives. Seventy-five letters or more each day is a fair average of the correspordence which he receives.

Dur'ng the meeting of the postal con- gress here the first assistant Postmaster general was chairman of the body, which greatly increased his labors. When he would return from the sessions he would find his office and the hall outside packed with people waiting to talk with him. Each wished to grab him first out of the bag, too, and he was kept hustling. Mr. Heath's term of several years as a newspaper correspondent in Washnigton has been of great benefit to him in the place to which he was appointed. He was familiar to a great extent with the work- ings of the department, and did not need BICYCLE BARGAINS. $47.50 | to be intreduced to the varied details. = Being a newspaper man, and a good one, the first assistant postmaster general ps knows: what news is, and takes pleasure in giving il to the members of the press who $115, visit him.

A statement of the experts and imports of the United States prepared by the bureau of ctatistics makes the remarkable show- ing that 1 ever before in the history of the country have the exports of merchandise, which includes practically all exports ex- cept gold and silver, reached so high a figure as during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1897, nor has the excess of exports over imports ever been so large. The only time these figures were appreached was in 182, when the United States was making heavy shipments of grain to feed Europe, suffer- ing from a series of deficient harvests. The statement for 1897, with comparisons, is as folluws: Experts of domestic merchancise, $1.0: 998,880; increase over 1896 about $170,000 000. Total exports of domestic and foreign merchandise, $1,051,987,091, as compared with $552,006,938 for 1806. The total im- ports of merchandise during the fiscal year Cincinuati, Ohio. just closed amounted to $764,7%,005, of Broadv ay Tuberracle—Chairman, Rey.

Fraser, Elberton, Ga.; devotions, Re’ total imports were about $15,350,000 less than last year, and the excess of exports over imports for the year was $287,613,156. This is an excess of about $155,000,000 over last year, and an excess of about $23,000,000 over any previous year. The figures for June also show an im- portant gain. The domestic exports of mer- chandise during that month amounted to $72,866,880, a gain over June, 1896, of $3,000, 000. The imports for June amount to $84. 826,110, as compared with $56,163,740 for June, 1896. The exports of gold, including ores, for the fiscal year 1807 ted to $40,359,780, as compared with $112,400,047 for 1896. The imports of gold amounted to $85,018,575, an increase of about $51,500,000 over 1896. The exports of silver during 1897 amounted to $61,946,G38 and the im- ports $30,533,227. The excess of gold imports over exports, therefore, was $44,653,795, and the excess of silver exports over imports, $31,413,411.
