PRESIDENTS RECREATION.
1t is Said that He will do Little Duck
Hunting

The President left the city last night by
way of the Baltimore & Potomac railroad,
for few days sport in duck shooting. 1t is
not known exactly where he has gone, but
it is supposed he went to one of the famous
duck hunting grounds in Maryland in the
vicinity of Chesapeake Bay.
Private Secretary Halford said today the
President wanted few days of uninter-
rapted recreation and the only way he could
have it was by keeping his movements secret.
During the last campaign, said Mr.. Halford,
it was announced that Gen. Harrison was
going off on a shooting trip, and the conse-
quence was that 10000 other spOrtsmen
selected the same time and place for their
own sport Ex-senator Sewell and Mr.
Knight are with the President and party, and
expect his return to Washington on Satur-
day

Mr. Arkell's idea is to print come one ad-

part of the stamps for = certain time or on
all during limited period, and follow this
up by printing another advertisement for
another period.
The advertisement will be printed in deli
cate -colored inks before the stamps are gum
med and the result would be that every user
of the postage stamp would have AN oppor-
tunity TO read something on its back before
