All Ottawa, Protestants ami Catholics alike. wre profoundly .shocked and pained yesterday afternoon t" learn of tin- sudden death Of Very Rev. fohn I'. Quinn, 'lean of Ottawa and rector of St. Columba parish, which had occurred earlier in the afternoon, while he was si 1 1 in.tr m his l'ia,r 1,1 lr"m "' his deska busy man t" the very last. Death had evidently come calmly and peacefully, as there was no evidence of pain or struggle, simply the quiel calling h his Maker of a hitf man in the prune of lite. For Mean Quinn was a big man in every sene of the word. Large of stature, of fine physique, he was mentally big and accustomed to do big things in a hij,r way. As the successor of the Very Rev. I n an Keating, his coming m Ottawa to take charge of St. Columba parish, with all that implies, was in itself a big undertaking and one which only a big man could do successfully. Following a man who had endeared him-eli to all members of society and had accomplished .urcat things. Dean uninn soon proved himself a worthy successor of his illustrious predecessor, lie took up his work without intermission and completed the under takings which had been started, and immediately undertook new en terprises for the benefit "f the parish. These lie pushed through with his characteristic enterprise and vim, until now St. Columba parish with all its adjuncts is a model and a ,reat institution. An intense Catholic, Dean Quinn was never bigoted. He was too big a man for that. He was a priest in every sense, one whom both Catholics and Protestants naturally called "father." as a right and mark of respect; but he was also a man among men. He never "worked the cloth." but ranked high as a model citizen and a nun interested in and working tor civic betterment in every way. In every public undertaking his advice and assistance was always in ici puum uiniviiun.iS . - ; demand, was lor m; He was to he counted ig a bigger and better ills time ailll llloliey. By the members ul his parish elite anil esteem, rrom the greatest to the least among litem tie was the father, one to whom any could go, sure of the greatest sym- pathy assistance and help.

The parcel post, which has proved popular with the during the pa-d ten years, is to he investigated. It i being the cause of large deficits in the postal system , a. f .i. c, l ..' LVa I may reacn (,uuo,uuu ten uk unless something' shall be d"iie to outlook Postmaster General of the subject, and it" it is f i- responsible for the large then parcel post rates must prior to 190, it is stated, postal revenues exceeded expenditures, and then came the large increases in salaries to postal employes and atlded compensation to railways for transportation, ordered by acts of congress, followed about the same time that these increases became effective with a slump in business. Commenting on the pared post system, the Postmaster General is quoted as having said: "It is a commercial venture, pure and simple. There is every reason, therefore, why it should be made at least self-supporting." He ex plained the department's plans for reducing operating costs $i5;ooo, 000. but that w ould be a small sum compared with the total amount that will be required to bring the expenditures within the receipts. "For the fiscal year ending June 30, igiO, the deficit was S17.000. (XX)," he said, "for the year ending June ,V. lo-'i. the deficit will lie found lo annroximate $84,000,000. when the reports are al! avail- n ' , - 1 able. (If this," he is reported to have said. "$75,0OO,O0O was 1 increase in compensation ordered by congress to employes and $11, 000,000 was additional pay to railroads under interstate commerce decisions." The parcel post has proven of great advantage to the public, both in the matter of convenience and in expense for transportation. Sonic small inconveniences have been encountered, such as the neces sity of taking the packages to the but the disad antaLres are more patrons on rural routes tional cos. To the credit of the found necessary to advance rates 1 .1 I advancing salaries, tne tees nenig substantially me same i..s o..... those charged when the service was first inaugurated. No one can reasonable expect any common carrier to transport and deliver a 1 1 . seventy-pound package from Ottawa to Chicago tor seventy-lour cents, which is the rate by parcel post j hence if the postal authorities shall bnd it necessary to increase the fee- there w ill be small ground for complaint unless erntgress takes matters in hand and readjusts salaries of Teat and small to meet existing conditions. 5 SOLDIERS TENANT OCCnillA V UnCDITll Or ttUWAT nUorl I AL Chicago, Aug. .
