handsome public buildings II II had not been

"Beg pardon, but don't quite understand"

"Don't, eh Why have boon resident OF
this city all my life-eixty.Heven years, ana

erection Of public buildings being Killed, Just
because our citizens quarrelod about site.
Damn tho aitc, anyway. anu for an npprO-

THE DELIVERY OF THE MAIL.
what Postmaster COnger Says of

the Statement I'm Morning Pa

Postmaster Conger was asked by CRITIC

failure on tho part OF tho City PostofIice to
properly deliver several hundred Invita- ions
mailed 10 Senators and representatives and
other prominent citizens, for the pound party
Riggs House Friday evening.
l have Seai the item, and so far as tho City
postofico 10 concerned there Is no evidence OF
Fny delay whatever; that all mail matter for
the Senate and House which passes through
tho City Postofic8 Is delivered to the postmas-
tiers Of the House and Senate promptly, and
whom so delivered thooe officers are alone
responsible for its safe and prompt delivery.
so far az tho House PostDrice 10
concerned" continued Mr.. Congor, ~ should
Judge that delays might occur. My own
observation Of the amount OF mail matter
handled by the employees OF the House Postof-
nee demonstrates that at least six additional
persons should DO employed In order 70
properly handle the business OF that ONCE.
The vastly increased business OF tho House

OF employees than heretofore, while tho mom-
bership has been greatly Increased"

THE DREARY RAINsToRM,
which IN Probably the FOrerunneI
of SNOW and Cold.

At the Signal ONCE this morning 1t was
ascertained that the dreary rainstorm is pre-.
vailing over a large section of the country
and turning into snow at many places upon
tho arrival OF cold wave from the west
which Is spreading over the south, and will
reach Washington In a moderated form In
time 10 freeze up the river 80 tight as to pre-
vent any fears OF ireshet from the present
rain and perhaps DO In time to turn the rain
storm into snow.
1t cannot be positively predicted whether
there will be any snow or not, but the cold
wave will effect this city sufficiently to cause
very perceptible fall OF the mercury and
enough OF freeze TO restore the sidewalks 10
a dangerous condition OF icyneJs.
The rain had caused SUFFICIENT rising OF tho
streams TO threaten q food along the river
banks, but no danger need be apprehended
when the mercury is below the freezing point.
