Not long since u prominent woman In
good society undertook to instruct the
public not SO well Informed as herself how
to write n note. Her hints to letter writer's
appeared In IL New York newspaper, and
will undoubtedly prove of benefit to many
of its readers All she said on this topic
was perfectly correct, from "the abomi-
nation of scented stationery and tho OBJ
jectionablc ragged edge note paper with
colorcd inks, to the formula required in
all notes of invitation. The article, which
also puncturcd some of the affectations Of
II young letter writer, was signed Mrs
Burton N. Harrison" The sbse Of tho
prefix "Airs." in this connection Is
breach Of literary etiquette which the
writer commits in common with Mrs John
Sherwood, who certainly knows better
than TO do so. Both these ladies' have pre-
sented their society views III print ia
models to he followed by less well bred
people, yet both are guilty Of bad form in
signing themselves "Mrs." No lady ever
writes n note and signs it by her married
title She is neither Miss nor Mrs. at
such times, and even should she he writ
ing to an inferior, or to n stranger, the
rule is the same. To avoid any mistake
Of address, notes of this description must

If the trip to be made by the Pres

good deal ofignorance or made II very
silly bid for his party when he said
that complaints against the postal

the heads of departments instead oi
to senator's. II Mr.. Regan would take
the trouble to visit the various depart
ments and the heads of those depart
merits would condcscend to supply
him with the information he was
seeking, he would learn that the most
earnest appeals are being constantly
received from Il suffering people for
improvements in the mail, land office
and other public services. And he
would further learn, if the officials are
honest, that no attention whatever is
given to those appeals. The hands OF
the postal and land Office officials are
tied. They have no money ut their
command TO rectify the evils com.

The senate is ut last recognizing the

THE new license law as published
yesterday shows that the bill does not
go into effect until sixty days after its
passage. This will require an extra
session Of the county commissioners
to fix an annual license for the sale of
liquor in the county outside of the city
limits. The city council will no doubt
make n change in the city license and
will probably increase it. BY putting
up the figures it will have the effect Of
closing out some OF the smaller saloons
