Mr. Spangler has charge of the free delivery system. He was stationad in this city about three years ago as nspector. Mr. Spangler suggested to Postmaster Gal- lagher yesterday that they take a look about the outlying distriéts of the city in order that he might haye an idea of the amount of territory covgrefl, etc. He expressed himself as being surprised and aston- ished at the great ohanges which had taken plac@about the city since he residod hera. Said ho: '] started out with the idea of recommending that the districts that now have but one carrior delivery per day should be incroased to two, but when I saw what a great amount of territory was not covered at all [ was forced to the conolusion that the service would bave to be extended, even if it became thereby impossible to Incroase the service in the districts which are now served, ‘We are greatly cramped by the appropria- tlon for carrier service, and while I recog- nize the fact that Omaha is entitled to more carriers, and should have thom, it will boim. posible th!s time to make all the changes necessary." Mr, flpnnglur was asked how many addi- tional carriers he would recommend. “‘That is more than I can state at this time,” he replied. “I saw a statement in an eveniug paper to the effect thw Mr. Galla- ghor would ask for fitteen more. carriors, T don’t know whera thoe reporter got his infor- mation, but Iam sure he didn't get it from Mr. Gallagher. The idea of such an increase is absurd." The reporter inforrod, from Mr. Spanglor's romarks, that not more than fivo additional carriers would bo recommended. In the course of his re- marks, Mr. Spangler alluded to the crowded conditlon of the postoMce, and that some- thing should be done at once to secure addi- tional room. The only way this could be done would bo to ront more room or to build an addition in the_area west of the building. Ho thought a commodious ono-story addition could be built for about $10,000. This would Tord all the room necessary. This matter should have been attended to lonz ago, as the present quarters are entirely too small.

Lo i ELISE'S BEAUTIFUL ARMS, The Great Triumph and Tragic End ofan Artist's Model in Berlin, Two years ago Elise Kemmler, then eighteen years old, was a waitress at a restaurant in the students’ quarter in Berlin, says the New York Sun. She was not pretty. She was freckled, square-shouldered and dumpy. Sho was $0 plain that she did not even get the usual caresses and love pats which the German waitresses almost invari- ubly get from every man they serve. She had, however, one beauty of form— her arms, They were large, white and exquisitely molded. A young artist noticed them one day,as RKlise, with her sleeves rolled up, brought him his beer and roast goose. From that di ou Elise was probably more sougnt afte by young men than any other waitress in Berlin. Every artist wished her to sit for him, so that he could paint her beautiful arms. After the young artist who discovered her arms had given their counterpart to his Hebes and Venuses and Dianas dozens of other artists wished to repro- duce them on their canviases. As a model Elise made double and treble the money she had earned as a waitress. She spent it all upon her porson and be- came immediately vain, By means of a bit of lacing, a (ree use of cosmetics, and a lot of new gowns she made her- solf over into a very attractive young woman. She bad lovers by the dozen, Hardly an evening pussed for the next two years but that she drank wine with an artist or student iu a fine Berlin res- taurant, or sat beside him in some sec- ond-class theater. A fow weeks ago Elise had an en- gagement to sit for the young artist who discovered her. She went to his room and prepared to reveal the beau- tiful arms which he had wished to paint. He told her, however, that she need not take the trouble; he had fourd a woman with more finely molaed arms than hers. She threw herselfl on the floor and wept. He tossed her some money to comfort her. She threw it back to him and hurried off home. There she locked herself in her rooms. For two days she refused admittance to every one and ate nothing. On the morning of the third day her landlady was attracted to her bedroom by groans. On the bed lay Elise in convulsions, She confessed that she had poisoned herself, but begged the landlady not w-umuwn [ doctor, as she wished to die. b uh e A 1A squsiaats incurable.

A REPORTORIAL EXAGGERATION, An Invostigation Into the Complaints of the Discharged Seam ~The Officors Justify Themselvos— All Claims to Be Satistlea, Serlous Oharges. Wasmxaron, July 25.--On the 15th of June the San Francisco papers contained statemonts of corwain survivors of the disas- tor to the American vessels at Samon, en- listed on the Trenton and Vandalia, which, it teue, presonted @ severe imdiotment against the navy dopartment. The papers roported that about thirty of the men woro roaming around San Franclsco unable to secure tho wages due them, destitute and dependent upon chiarity. The charges of the men were in substance that thoy had not been paid ‘‘bag money,"” about §60, which the United States contracted to allow them 1w cuso of the loss of their clothes by the sinking of the vessel: that their wages prior to the date of the disastor had not been paid, that they had been discliarged and sent adrift, none of them Wwith more than 8$25; that the clothes furmshed them in Samoa were charged for at regular rates, leaving them little or nothing to live on; that Licutonant Carlin, executive offiter of tho Vandali, refused to sign their certificates to be proseuted to tho fourth auditor. of the suilora joined in a petition to tary Blaine that he use his influence. pies of the new: r articles were ulso sent the president, The matter was referred to Secretary Tracy who ordered an investigation an the papers have just been _ returned to the navy department. Commodore Benham, of the Mare islaud navy yards, says the newspaper artioles have a grain of truth and a great deal of exaggeration in them; that the attack upon Lioutenant Car- lin is unjust in tho extremo_for the reason that he remained in San Francisco by his own request in ordor that he might be able 10 look after tho interests of the Vand men. The commodore further furnisi statement made by Licutenant Burneit showing the amounts waid o men who reached Sun Francisco, ranging from £ to Eighteen of tho men are reported as having deserted after tho arrivaland ofcoursc they recoived nothing. Lieutenant Carlin, in his report, says that of the nineteen men the San Fraucisco papers claim are rowming about the water front of that city, otie was discharged at his own request at the expira- tion of his term of enlistment, taree wero discharged by sontence of court-martial aud thirteen were deserters, The clothing issued to the men was charged to them ut ® count 66% per cent. It was good clothing, worn alike vy ofticers and men. The claims of the men wero oxcessive as u rule; As 1o the statement tnat he had toid the men he would help no oue until he got his own money, Licutenant Carlin says: “1 will say that Iam here at myown re. quest for tho special purposs of putting wrecked sailors in shapo so that tho fourth auditor may properly settle the men's ac- counts. This work "is now finished. Appli- cations for indemnity (bag money) hus been made out for all the men, dead or alive, and Ihave as yet taken no step towurd getting my own money." Of the six men who signed the petition to Blaine, McCluskey wis notat Samoa at ail. Lane was discharged by court-martial. He was on board the Nipsic, whith was not sunk and has not a shadow of a claim for any- thing. Boyle and Stewart were discbarged at the expiration of their enlistment. AlL of ther, except Boyle, were paid in full, but some of them had aclaim for personal effects. Qg O BRIDGING BEHRING STRAITS.

This shows how easy it would be . to bridge the straits, The only trouble would be from floating icebergs, but that could be casily overcome by constructing swinging bridges, lika that tue{ huve across the river at Chicago. In this way the straits could be kept clear il thd time ‘and trains of cars could run right along. “Phore are so many strange things in Alaska,” added the disvoverer of the Muir glacier, “‘that have not' yet come to the knowiedge of the public that one who hassecn them hesitates where to begin, Blephant remains are found all over the valley of Yukon.
