custody of the police, and were conducted by
them to the executive committee, the members
of which being disposed to deal leniently with
their first offence, ordered them Immediately to

most rigorous measures will now be adopted to
prevent the admission of any person who is not
actually an exhibitor or person employed in the
building.
A return to Parliament has been printed,

crime, to 1928.

To the Editors of the 2elegraph:


GENTLEMEN Before the publication Of your
truly enterprising and spirited little sheet,
had often thought, and that truthfully, pre-
sumo, that paper started in this city after the
style and tone of your sheet, 1.-THE Telegraph, J
with the merits and qualities it possesses, the
recommendations and inducements it holds out
to merchants and business men in general as
an advertising medium, to say nothing of its
Importance as family paper, could not be other
wise than successful Your sheet is, gentle
men, according to my idea, the right kind of a
sheet for the citizens of the Metropolis-yea,
the whole District. Why then do citizens with
hold their support and stand with their arms
folded and say, FL wait awhile to see how it
succeeds? l take the Intelligencer, the Union,
the Sun, and the Clipper. l can't afford so many
papers. These are minor considerations and
objections Every good citizen, every enter
prising and thorough-going man-yea, the
masses, should be proud Of your paper; should
take it, and contribute to the building of it up.
| hope that the citizens of Washington will look
upon your undertaking and efforts with no
small degree of delight, and that they will ex-
tend the hand of fellowship in maintaining the
american Telegraph. 1t is spoken of in the
highest terms by merchants and business men,
and it is great favorite, and eagerly sought
after by the ladies. This is evidence that your
endeavors are highly appreciated. Washing
ton--the District, rather-should be able to
support a two-penny paper, and that, too, hand
somely. 1t can. All that is wanting is energy
and perseverance, and that we know you have.
Go on then in the course that you have COM
menced, and, my word for it, success and a rich
harvest IS yours. Yours, truly,
