TRIBUTE TO GOWAN, The announcement that Mrs. Esther Gowan Hood has given $100.000 to i establish a graduate fellowship in the department of law at the University Pennsylvania as a memorial to her father, the late Franklin B. en, formerly president of the Philadelphia Reading brings to mind the fact that Mr.

Gowen possessed wonderful percipiency as regards the future development of the resources of the country through which the lines of the Reading company, the successor to the Philadel. phia Reading, ramify. It has been said, and with much truth, that Gowen lived before his time. It was he formed thnucleus of the great company tha: figures SO largely in the affairs of the southern anthracite region. en foresaw that the time would come when there would of necessity be a consolidation of the coal companies and that it would be to the interes' of the coal-carrying corporations t.

acquire control of the individual operations which. he contended, could not maintain themselves and survive His views in this respect were but an echo of those of P. W. Sheafer, who, in an address before the Pottsville Scientific Association in 1858 said In part: "It is doubtless unfavorable to the profitable working of our coal beds that there is frequently both a want capital and of proper concentration of that which exists. Certainly no method of mining can be less economical than to fit out a number 01 separate operations upon comparatively small estates, with all the necessary engines and other improvements, instead of selecting a suitable point from which the coal of several adjacent tracts could be worked br one large operation equipped in the best manner.

This policy can be only carried out by the union of the proprietors of adjacent tracts." Gowen set about to put into effect this concentration of interests. He acquired coal lands wherever possible. He knew that the day would come when 'his company could mine the coal at a greater profit than then. He also knew that it would, when that time arrived, have improved facilities and that the cost of produetion would be minimized. Of course, there was a great deal of criticism of his course, but he stuck resolutel; to his convictions and worked out plans that are only today reaching their fruition, to the very material profit of the Reading company.

Of course many hands have take.a up the work that Gowen started and no meed of credit should be withheld from them. However, the fact should not be lost sight of that ic was Gowen's mind that shaped the course, Gowen's good judgment and foresight that impelled him to fight for his plans against those who were disposed to look upon him as a mad man and a -Pottsville Re publican.

Automatic machines for the sale of postage stamps, post-cards and stamped envelopes may soon make their appearance in the postoffices of the United States, thus relieving clerks ot a great part of their labor and dentally providing miniature postoffices in many sections of the large cities---postoffices that never close and are always prepared to furnish stamps or cards.

Postmaster General Meyer at the last session of congress recommended an appropriation of $25,000 for carrying on experiments with such machines, and congress gave him $10,000. The postmaster general, who has been particularly active during his administration of the postoffice department in adopting labor saving devices and improving the service in other ways, saw the utility of stampvending machines, which are general use in and last January he invited inventors to submit models of such machines. There were twenty-six machines offered for trial, all of which were carefully tested by a committee of the postoffice department, headed by Chief Postoffice Inspector McMillan. Twenty of these were considered impracticable, and the six remaining were subjected to a further trial. SUNDAY SERVICES IN THE CHURCHES Welsh Congregational Church, Lagrange street- Rev.
