not for two years slept under a coVer,
save that of some friendly tree or
shrub. He contracted tuberculosis
about four years ago, rapidly declined
in weight and adopted the walking
cure as his only hope.. Ho tramped
from Maine to Florida and back to the
Canadian border. Then ho toured Mon-
tana, Wyoming, Minnesota and other
states in that section and came to
Texas from the northwest. He will
walk to Galveston and will follow the
coast from that point through Mexico
into California. He says he has not
only cured himself of consumption, but
has managed to save up a little nest
egg of $2500 during his wanderings.
He is a very interesting person.

Washington, Oct. 24.— Postmaster
General Cortelyou has submitted to the
secretary of the treasury for transmis-
sion to congress estimates for the post-
office department and the postal service
of the coming fiscal vear. The amount
asked for salaries in the postoffice de-
partment is 81,528,920, being a net in-
crease of 8121,630 over the current
year, while the amount asked for main-
tenance of the service is $206,662,190 a
net increase of $ 15,000,000,-
The estimates last year were about
812,000,000 in excess of the appropria-
tions for the year before, so that the
increase this year is about 13,000,000
more than the increse last year. The
apparently larger increase, according to
the department, represents but a nor-
mal advance, made necessary by con-
stantly growing needs and public de-
mand for improved facilities. The
principal increase of departments is as
follows:
Compensation of postmasters, 1,500,-
000.
- Compensation to clerks. first and
second class postofhces, $3,000,000.
Clerk hire, third class postmasters,
8150,000.
Letter carriers, 81,156.700.
Pneumatic tube service, 8350,000.
Railroad transportation, 84,600,000.
Railway mall clerks, 8978,360.
