This Isn't the Write-up fo n Wed ding III High Lite but THE STORY OF A GRACEFUL ACT. IN WHICH THE) EMPLOYES OP "rflB WHEELING POSTOFFICE KIQ' UltED - HANDSOME REME1N WUNCES PRESENTED TO iJe TIIUNO POSTMASTER O'KANE AND ASSISTANT POSTMASTER BAlltD - THE NEAT SPEECH BY POSTMASTEn GEOUOE WISE. Ex-Postmaster O'Kanc felt rather un easy yesterday'afternoon when ho was called up by telephone toy Postmas ter Wise and Informed that his presence was desired Immediately at the postofilce. An Inquiry for particulars brought the information that the reports of the late postmaster were In bad shape, and that there was the deuce generally to pay over at Washington. The frame of mind wMch Mr. O'Kane was In on the walk down to the federal building can be Im agined. Imagine, therefore, his surprise upon entering Sir. Wise's office and finding the employes pouring In from the main j olllce, nnd appearance* generally Indi cating anything but trouble of any sort. Then the ex-postmaster smiled, nnd In quired: \| "Have I done any thing that you should make me a prisoner?" Mr. Wise then began his speech, and It was a "beaut. The flow of language at his command was something wonderful, I and from beginning to end he had the closest attention from an appreciative audience. The balls of legislation have seldom been the scene of such a triumph, and at the conclusion of the talk a lis tener was heard to 6ay that it was the "wisest" discourse he had .ever listened to. ?? After hauling Mr. OKane over the coals for an Imaginary offense, the speaker said: "On behalf of the old employes of the Wheeling postofilce, Mr. O'Kane, permit me to present to you this cane." The recipient of this unexpected testi monial was at a loss for a moment for something to say, bis feelings nearly overcoming him, but he recovered, and said he was utterly unable to do justice to the occasion. To the employes of the postofilce with Whom he had been associ ated for four years, he said the cane they had presented him would be valued more than 1f It were of solid gold. He would take this occasion to say that he was proud of the faithful service the post office employes had rendered during his term of office. Whatever efficiency the ofilce had attained was entirely due to the employes who had so kindly remem bered him. "All I can say is that 1 thank you from the bottom of my heart; this beautiful cane shall pass down to future generations as a most valued pos session." "On behalf of the old postofilce force," began Mr. Wise again, "allow me, Mr. Baird, to present to you this?" "What is \tVJ injuired the genial as sistant postmaster, and there was a gen eral iaugh. * "We have caned Mr. O'Kane, so now we offer to Mr. Baird the pipe of peace, and when he smokes he will think of the boys in the postofilce, who extend their best wishes to him." Mr. Baird said he had never made a speech and would not start now, but he expressed his sincere appreciation of the kind motives that prompted the post ofilce ?boys in their act. Mr. Baird's remembrance is a silver and gold smoking 6et. The cane presented to Mr. O'Kane Is mounted In gold, and very handsome, with these words engraved: Presented to IS. J. O'KANE By the Employes of the Wheeling Postofilce. January 4,1S93. THE CHILD MAY DIE. Young Stanley Finley Frightfully Burned at His Home Yrsterday. Stanley,t he three-year-old son of John D.
