BUSINESS LETTERS SHORT OF POSTAGE THREE THOUSAND DETECTED AT ONE STATION. An Average of Five Hundred p=r Week. All of Which Were De layed for Rating. Three thousand letters, a great majority of which were business communications sent by San Francisco merchants and ■manufacturers, have been checked up at pojstoffice station D within the past six day? for short postage. The matter is of Kreat importance to the: mercantile com munity, for tho reason that short postage letters are all delayed. On all short post age letters to points east of Chicago there Is a delay of twenty-four hours at Sta tion D There is also a delay in the offices in the East to which tha delayed letters find their way A delay often means a serious disappointment to a business man. For this real 1 1 becomes necessary for the business men to see that they have the proper stamps attached to secure prompt service.

Bateman; foreman of the I letter department at Station D. Mr. Ford I explained that the postal officials were j compelled to weigh every letter supposed to be short of postage. There were sev eral sets of scales for this purpose in the office, and no short weight letter had : mvi • chance to escape detection, as It passed down the line and was inspected successively by several men. Short-paid matter would not connect a= fully paid matter would, for the examination and rating of the letters Insufficiently stamped took time. No fault could be attached to the post office on account of the delay, for the cause was solely the neglect of the people. He had a record kept of the amount of short postage checked up in six j days, and by this means he arrived at the I somewhat sensational fact that an aver | age of 500 letters ore daily held up at Sta- I tion D for short postage. "You will do the public a favor by call : inp attention to this matter," feai'd Mr. i Ford. '•This is the only office In the • United States where letters mailed only twelve minutes fore the boat starts connect. Of course, short postage letters deposited at the last minute do not go for , ward without delay. The business men should see to. it that all letters are fully j stamped/ W. A. Cooper at Station D added to the j information concerning the shortage of j postage. One-filth of the letter mail for ! the Hawaiian Islands was short of post ; age, bo Mr. Cooper said. There had been i no change In the postal rates to the Ha waiian Islands since annexation, except to soldiers and sailors of the navy. When letters reached Honolulu short of postage the addressees were compelled to pay double the shortage, for a penalty was attached. Many ms were sending out advertising letters short of postage. The persons who received these advertising letters would have to pay the- penalty. Merchants would thereby get th* 111 will instead of the good will of the persons I or firms whom they hoped to reach and do ! business with. a lettei has been received by Mr. Coop- I er concerning the mail that was loFt when I the M ■ '; went down.

WILL ALL k PAID TO-DAY COLONEL GIBARD HAS RE TURNED. He Was Nominated for the Presi dency of the Surgeons' Associa tion, but Withdrew in Favor of Colonel Alden. The Minnesota men went out of service yesterday, but, according to the pro gramme, they got no money. There was not much said, th* men having: said every thing possible and appropriate the day before, when they first heard of the mov - i the payday; but they did a lot of thinking of the unpublishable sort and forgot their sorrows for the time in pay- Ing proper attention to the ."<>>o pounds of fruit Bent to the regiment by Colonel F. S. Hastings :n the i.ami- of the people of San Leaner.-. Colonel Hastings is an old friend of General Reeve, formerly colonel of the regiment. Despite the financial disappointment, j the men were in high spirits and the mus : ter out was attended with much rejoicing. The officers of the command presented the principal musician, Arthur W. Riches, with a fine cornet and an ivory baton. The regiment had already advanced ir.uii>-y to ' the Government in order to secure to the musicians of the band the Instruments with which thej had so often aroused the martial spirit of the men. It was gen erally announced that the regiment would go buck to the National Guard, or at lea.st sufficient of it to form the nucleus for the re-eatablibhment of the old organization. The Minnesota men will start tor home to-morrow on special train.*. They will not all go home to remain, however, for four men will return to the Philip - with the new regiments.

The following letter published by the Freedom of Manila on August 13 of this year shows in what esteem the men who 'enlisted in the regular organizations, or "regular volunteers" as they were called, are held by their former comrades. BALIKAG, Luzon. Aug. 44, 1599. j Edit Freedom— Dear Kir: I hope you v.iil make room for the following remarks In your paper as i on as convenient: The volunteer regulars will be dropped from the rolls of their different organizations by the tatter part of this week, but will those men be j forcotten by the comrades they leave behind? No; they Will never be forgotten by their com- , rades of the Eighth Army Corps v.-ho fought with them through this campaign. If there ever was a soldier returning to his native country that is deserving any glory or that ought to be received with open arms by , the people of the United States, that soldier Is the volunteer regular. I will say a few words of the volunteer reg ulars of Battery '». Third Artillery. I have been in the service twenty-three years, and during that time I have seen several batteries, troops and companies in Europe and !n ib» United State?, but never have I \ en such a body of men a. - composed the above nam.>d battery during this campaign, for their Intel ligence and bravery could not be questioned on the firing line. These volunteer regulars came personally un der my obwrviation. I had the opportunity of watching them during the different battles and skirmishes, and I must say that every one of them was more than willing to advance to the front, and on several occasions 1 had to call them back on the line. I am not a newspaper writer, this being my first attempt. I desire to express myself sim ply as to wxiat I have seen and observed. I hope that all of the volunteer regulars will enjoy their trip across the Pacific, and that their experience of flftepn or sixteen months In service under such trying circumstance will benefit them In civil life. With the best wishes of JOHN C. O'CONNOR, First Sergeant Battery (i, Third Artillery. GREETING TO RETURNING CALIFORNIA REGULARS The citizens' executive committee has generously placed the steamer Caroline at the disposal of the executive committee of the friends and relatives of the California volunteer regulars returning on the trans ports Newport, Pennsylvania and Tartar The Caroline- will b«_- in readiness at JacK son street wharf and will be ready to go out to meet the transports one hour after the whistle? are blown showing the ar rivai of the ship*. In can- the transports should arrive at night the Caroline will go out at 9 o'clock the following morning There will be a meeting of friends ar.d relatives, to-nigtit at Shasta Hall, Native Sons' building, at S o'clock to make fur ther arrangements.

AN OLD LADY WHO IS DETERMINED TO MARRY THERE was considerable mystery attached to the arrival of the over land train at the Oakland mole yesterday. The news had leaked out that there was a runaway couple aboard. The woman was supposed to have gone out of her mind at Ogden, and had to he put in a strait jacket. The man had taken possession of the woman's money and the train officials, thinking- he was going to appropriate the money to his own use, took it away from him and also took charge of the woman. '■*!;? As soon as the overland reached Oakland the man and the woman with their baggage were .turned over to Train Dispatcher J. C. Phillips with the Instructions to bring them to San Francisco and turn them over to the police. Phillips reported to Captain Dunleavy at the Harbor Police Station, and the captain sent him out to Chief I>ees with his charges. The woman is Mrs. Frederika Schall. aged 49 years, and the man is Frank Trappehl, aged 38 years, both of Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Schall was formerly a Mrs. Pieton, and by her first husband she had four children, all of them, save one, a girl aged 15 years, being now married. Her first husband died about eight years ago, and then Mrs. Pieton married Schall. About eight months ago Schall dropped dead, and now his widow wants to marry TjYappehl. Trappehl is a machinist, and seven years ago was employed in the Ful ton Iron Works. Soon after the molders' strike he went to Pittsbur?, and ever yince has been working in the Westinghouse Electrical Machine Works. He became acquainted with Mrs. Schall and proposed marriage. The daughters were opposed to the wedding, however, so the couple started for California. During the journey across the continent Mrs. Schall became very nervous and hysterical. It was then that Trappr-hl took from her $370 In currency and a couple of checks for small sums of money she had in her possession. A doctor who was on the train advised .that Mrs. Schall be put In a sleeper, and Trappehl says he paid $3 for the berth. She was given mor phine to quiet her. but the next day she was violent, and while the train was at Ogden tried to escape through the window. She was then strapped down, but was released as soon as she showed signs of returning sanity. The couple were examined by Chief Lees and gaid It was their intention to get married at once. As both of them seemed perfectly able to take care of themselves the police could do nothing in the case. On the advice of the chief Mrs. Schall left $300 of her cash with the property clerk, and if in a couple of days she dots not change her mind and is still determined to marry Trapp-'hl, the money will be returned to her. TrappeJil is furious with the Southern Pacific officials, and says he Is going to bring a suit against the railroad for damages. TRIED TO HANG HERSELF FROM A WINDOW-SILL Used a Clothesline for a Noose. Mrs. A. Ferroggiaro, residing at 607 ■ Greenwich street, is supposed to have at '■ tempted suicide in a tragic manner yes terday morning. H< r life was only saved by the prompt action of neighbors and a ; police officer, and also by the frail quality I of a rope which was used in the surmised attempt. After the lady had been re i moved from her perilous position she de -1 nled the alleged attempt at suicide, but ! the statement of officers and witnesses I will not bear out her assertions. The only ! cause for the act which cau be given by the family is that the woman has been ill for a short period of time, and this, with other family troubles, rendered h»r mentally unbalanced. Shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing Mrs. L. V.'egel, who resides at Cv!» Greenwich street, heard a commotion in the yard which separates her homy from that' of the Ferrogglaros. She rushed to the window and wa,s startled to behold the body i-f a woman dangling in the air a considerable distance above xhf ground. She cried for help, and her daughter, Mrs. ' Chris Zimmer, came to her assistance. Be- I fore Mrs. Zimrm-r could reach the spot the series of ropes which suspended the ' woman had become partially unfastened, i and the body fell till it nearly reached the ground. " Mr?. Zimmer then grasped , the dangling form and loosened the rope. ; Police Officer Alvarcs. who happened to ! be passing the house and who heard the I woman's "cries for help, rushed into the yard and cut the rope. The woman seemed bent on self-de struction. She had tied a clothesline ■ around her neck and placed three knots under her chin. The line was stretched across the yard aiid when the woman jumped from the second-story window sill h^r body swung out far from the buikl . ing. For a moment or two the form hung in space, but the pulleys over which the i lines passed finally pave away and the ' body fell close to the ground. Mrs. Zim mer pays that when she loosened the rope on the' neck that Mrs. Ferroggiaro tried to strangle herself by tightening the • r.oopp on her throat. It was th.^ opinion j of witnesses that had the woman known INVESTMENT OIL CO. p- : -■ .|- _ . • . • o Solo.

The patrol wagon was called and the woman taken to the California street sta tion by Officer Bakulich. It was found that she did not suffer much from the shock, and shortly afterward was re turned to her home. She protested that she was hanging clothes on the lines and accidentally became tangled up in them, but no one saw any clothes in the vicin ity. The woman had been ill and had summoned a physician about one hour be fore the unfortunate event happened. Mrs. Ferroggiaro is about 40 years of age and has a husband who has been sick for some lime; she has also two daugh ters and one son. A BIG FLEET. Twelve Vessels Arrive Within Two Days Chartered to Carry Grain From California. A large fleet of ships, most of which will be available f<s% grain charters, ar rived In -his harbor between Saturday morning vtA Sunday night. There were twenty .'easels in all, of which -number eighteen were foreigners. Twelve have been chartered to take cargoes of wheat from California. These twelve ships will carry 32,000 long tons Of grain, and at the average rate of $8 per ton, will earn for their owners $256, -" fr.-ight money. A few were French ships, subsidized by their Government at the rate of 34 cent's per ton for each 1000 miles traveled in direct course. Thr-se subsidies are paid i.n the Oasis of the gross tonnage, so that the quarters for the officers und' crews are unusually large, there being in I one case a deduction of about 900 tons j from the gross. Animals' Little Friends. Band of Mercy exercises were held yes terday by four classes of the I/ongfeilow Primary School on Silver street, near Harrison. Nearly all the ladies of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have been at work organizing these hands in the public schools, and now th* membership of the pupils Is over 50 000 children. These frequently hold public exercises, consisting' of songs, recitations and compositions, the tenor of which Is to impress the importance of treating: ail dumb creatures with kindness. Violated Fish Laws. Salvadore Rappo, the fishprman who was arrested for violating- the law by fishing between the Ist and 15th insts!, had pleaded guilty before a Suisun jus tire of the peace, who imposed the pen alty nf a $200 fine or 100 days in Jail. Rappo decided to serve out the sentence and save the money. Deputy Kercheval yesterday confiscated 200 pounds of under sized rtriped bass. The fish was divided between the Youths' Directory and the Red Cross. _^ ADVERTISEMENTS. •- i MOTHERHOOD Is woman's natural destiny.
