(Applause.) A. W, Machen, superintendent of free delivery, was next introduced to respond to the toast, ““The Free Delivery System, City and Rural. In part he said: It is only a sense uf modesty that keeps me from claiming that the free delivery ser- vice is the most important branch of our de- | partment. I may safely claim, however, I believe the honorable members of the ¥ of Representatives who are seated around this agree with me, that since the he rural free delivery feature the most popular branch anization tions and new depart- ures the free delivery service had a small beginning and considerable opposition. In the vear 1863 one-fortieth of the appro- priation for the postal service was devoted to free delivery. The appropriation for the ensuing fiscal year for the maintenance of both city and rural delivery amounts to about t one millions of dollars, or more than one- of the total appropriation. This amount equals the entire postal revenues of the vear of 1872 To-day the amount annually paid for the sportation of letter carriers on street cars exceeds the first appropriation for the entire free delivery service. The first movement for free delivery met with | considerable opposition, and we find that after ear the service was discontinued in ne_offices. All opposition, however, gradually disappeared, and to-day there is an almost universal demand for the service, Rural Free Delivery. the first | The vers rapid extension of rural free de- | livery surpasses all previous records in the development of the postal service. The first route was established on October 13, 18%. On there were but forty-three routes Twelve months later the record July 1, 1899, about 350; 3263; mext July will find 4300 rural iers making daily delivery to 3,500,000 peo- and by July 1, 1902, ‘the service will num st $600 routes, serving over one-th! sible rural population of the coun Althouzh the new service is but two or three years old it has already become an as- s vermanent and expanding branch of the tostal system. and it = only a question of time and executive celerity until the whole people of the United States may have their mail delivered at their very dooisteps.

A queer question, deed, to ask In a company of postal officials, yet few not directly connected with the intro- duction and management of the service know that rural free delivery stands for more than the mere delivery and collection of ordinary uni- delivery. what Now, mail. It means the expansipn of our postal system in all its branches: the extension of every postal facllity to the home of the farmer. Every rural letter carrier is an animated—a living postoffice, 50 to speak. Besides perform- duties of a letter carrier he sostmarks the letters he collects, sells stam: | registers letters and recefves applications for | money orders, and then, on his own account, renders for his patrons such other services as do not conflict with his official duties. Rural free delivery means the dissemination of knowledge on a scale heretofore unheard of through a greatly increased circulation of news- papers and periodicals in rural communities. It | places the daily market reports, weather fore- casts and the news of the day in the hands of the fermer without' delay. It causes a bettermont of social interczurse by quick mail communication in the l‘n*{ry nd between the country and the city, ®ro- ducing results of incalculable good to the pub- lic at Jarge. In short, my friends, rural free delivery is the city clusping hands with the country and drawing its country cousins into @ closer and more satisfactory relationship. Passed From Its Infancy. It may be said that the rural free delivery | service has passed from its infancy and has reached the years of a healthy boy, just the time when he needs the closest attention and care of his watchful parents. I amin a posi- tion to kwow that the rural free delivery ser- vice to-day is recelving the closest and most careful consideration of our honored chief, and under his vigilant eye this bouncing boy will grow into youth and manhood, and become a-entuully the sturdy glant of our postal ser- ce.

Miss Lucy Annie Heiser, a graduated nurse of nine years’ experience, trained ar'd‘ graduated from the Homeopathic Hospital of Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows: 2 Albert Lea, Minn., Nov. 8, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohi Gantlemen—*“Although my school does not believe in patent medicines, 1 hava found it to ba a factthat Peruna is a grand and valuable medicine. 1 have known it to curs Mrs. Sampson, suffering with an inflamed womb, aggravated by malaria, after the doctors had failed to help her. Another of my former patients suffered with a complication of female diseases; she was so thin, nothing but skin and bones, but Peruna cured her, and she is to-day in good health and good flesh. Facts prove that Peruna re- vives lost strangth and restores o the sick that most wonderful blessing of life—health.” Lucy Annie Heiser. If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed a tonic would read and heed the words of these fair ladies who have spoken right to the point, how many invalids would be prevented and how many wretched lives be made happy. Peruna restores health in a hormal way. - Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this way re- stores the functions of every organ. 3 far attained is the pride of the present pro- | gressive administration. The bmnd-mlnded‘ policy of our Postmaster General in promptly and successfully executing the law providing for the introduction of rural free délivery will® mark his administration of the postal service as the greatest in the history of the depart- ment, and it will truthfully be written by the future historian that Charles Emory Smith was the people’s Postmaster General.

General Shafter, who was not on the programme for a speech, was called upon to address the meeting and did so in an off-hand manner, saying: 1 do not know Why you jump me up, who am not a talker, whem there are so many brilliant speakers here, but I have made it a rule of life in my profession at least to make a try at anything that has been set for me to do. Therefore I am willing, so far as I am_able, to assist you in welcoming these gentlemen from Ohio. Governor Nash, I regret that 1 cannot as a citizen of California welcome you here with the other illustrious men that are with you, but as the senior military commander on this coast I do welcome you, and welcome you most heartily, and I am sure it Is a ve happy occasion when o many of you can com! to this coast. I think it is a good thing for men to mingle from all the States, so that we may realize that we all have the same fears and hopes throughout the entire country, and that while we make claim to statehood we always have the higher heritage of being citi- zens of the one great republic. It is to me one of the most pleasing of my last semi-official acts at least, to welcome you here.
