II. d. Gurley, chief of the Letter.Oarrler Divl.
siOn. Carrier Britain was the spokesman. He
complained that the helmet proposed was hot,
cloth ,brmlcee dome, ,distasteful TO tho carriers
and unlt for any Of the purposes OF n summer
hat. IL had, they said, beon imposed upon
the carriers at the Will OF Mr.. Bell, who hated
the carriers, and therefore was In favor Ofany-
thing which they dlsliked. Mr., Gurley iu-
quired why an appeal to Postmaster Congor
had not been made. The carriers replied that
they had gone to him ana no had told them
that he had ordered the helmets aud did not
Intend to revoke the order. Some years ago
the regulations prescribed Panama hat
with summer uniform, but the carriers did not
like that kind Of hat, and PostmastorGeneral
Jewell had left the matter to the option OF tho
pOstmastcrs.
The carriers then moved up stairs to tho
room OF tho Postmaster General, and when
Postmnster.General Gresham came In he was
accompanied by Postmaster COngor. Carrier
Britain repeated his statement u the Post
muster.Goncral, and asked leave to wear the
Panama hat, as prescribed In the printed rcg-
ulGtlOns. Tho Postmaster General had never
heard OF tho matter before, and know very
little about hats. Hc asked Mr.. Conger why
the helmet had been selected. Mr.. Con-
ger said at is the hat used IN Baltimore,
Brooklyn and New York, aud Is coming into
general use for carriers. Carrier Britain said
that tho helmet had no hrim II was uncOuth,
hot, and when the carriers had no shade to
their eyes and Ind to peer Mt letters to SEQ
their direction, while the suns rays shone
directly on them, IL was ruinous.
Carrier Britain made this appeal; "Mr.
Gresham, how would you like TO have TO wear

fOrtablo2 / have been nearly twenty years In
the service. / have had eight children born
since I've been a carrier, but rather than wear

ROYAL BLOOD has provided another scan
dal in high life for the prurient public Louis
", Grand Duke of Hesse and widower of
the late Princess Alice, of the English
royal family, has consummated morgan
attic marriage with handsome and dashing
widow, de Kalamire by name, queen of
fashion in Berlin circles. Queen Victoria
and the entire English royal family arc
horrifed and dsgusted, regarding it as
slight to the memory Of the Dukes late
wife, and an insult direct to Princess
Beatrice, whose hand had been sought in
marriage by Louis and promised by Vic
toria just as carly AS Parliament iegalized
marriage between widower and de-
ceased wifes sister. The entire affair Oh
the part of the Grand Duke seems boldly
in defiance of all principles of morality and
disgraceful from social view.

In the Criminal Court yesterday morning tho
libel case OF the Rev. DR., Hicks Va. the Even
ing Star Company was called, and motion to
strike out as frivolous n demurrer fled TO tho
third amended declaration was overruled.
The Judge said that as there had been two dec.
larations which had already been filed and
amended, and the defendant had filed q STINT
lar demurrer to the third amended paper, ne
thought II might be for the defendant instead
OF the plaintiff to complain OF friyolousneas.
Certainly unless n declaration was framed
which was not liable to demurrer II would be
for the Court TO consider whether further leave

TIE rivalry existent among some of our
larger cities is peculiarly interesting to
contemplate. 1t evidences itself in every
manner and form. A few weeks ago Gin
cinrati proved its right to the title of tho
Paris of America by bloody outbreak by
its citizens, and to-day Buffalo, N. Y, not
to be outdone in any onterprisng move
ment by Porkopols, is preparing for a
frst-class riot of its own. The 'longshore-
men and others have decided that the Ital-
ian laborcrs must go, and bloodshed is inn
minent, as the Italians seem disposed to
stay. The militia are under arms and Sc
rious trouble is anticipated.

WHY cannot the police prevent the
abominablo practice so prevalent in this
city among thoughtlcss people of throwing
banana skins and orange pcolngs upon the
sidewalks? 1t is criminally careless, and
the man, woman or child who indulgos in
itshould be punished. Not day passes but
accidents result from the habit and it is
peromptory that it be discontinued and tho
police should exercise their authority in its
prevention.
