THE BRITISH FRANKING SYSTEM.
An Attempt to Revive an Old Parlia-
mentary Privilege.

London Special to the New York Herald
The British postmaster general is going to
be besieged from still another quarter. He is
informed by contemporary that if he does
not permit the postmen to carry on their agita-
ton ct public meetings he will have to retire
Notice to quit having thus been served upon
him it might have been thought that his resig-
nation would not be delayed q single hour. But
Mr.. Raikes seems to be very obstinate sort Of
man.
Mr. Jeffreys will also tackle the postmaster
general in the house Of commons. He wants
to revive the old privilege for members Of Par
lament Of Thanking letters, and he calls atten-
ton to the fact that members have now not
only to go and purchase stamps. but even to
afix them to their letters, az If afixing stamps
was q much more important matter than pay
ing for them. There il no remedy for this ex-
cept the appointment Of an official ticker, who
shall be placed in the lobby Of the house to
moisten stamps and stick them on.
In the old days some members Of parliament
were not above farming themselves out by the
hour to commercial firms in order that they
might frank ~ many letters as they could.
One member il said to have received $500 q
year for an hour or 90 day and, OF course,
every friend Of the member expected 10 have
his letters franked a. often - he chose ~ send
them. Jeffreys may rest assured that the
franking privilege viii never be revived,
although he may get the postmaster general
to appoint ticker If he perssveres in his de-
mauds,

They are constructed at South Bend, Ind, and

MISS FAIR TO WED.
The California Heiress to Marry q New
York Club Man.

Miss Bessie Fair, the California heiress, will
early in June take unto herself husband. She
is very fond Of outdoor sports and her choice
for partner for life is the well-known athlete
and club man Of New York, Herman Oelrichs
Next week he will start for San Francisco. He
is now thirty-six years Of age and is well-off in
worldly goods, while Miss Fair, who is twenty
three years Of age and is decided brunette
under the medium height, will have dowry of
S5,0OO.00O.
The couple met two years ago at Newport,
and it is said to have been another case of love
at first sight BY Mrs. Mackays advice Miss
Fair had her trousseau made in Paris by a
woman who Is said to be more stylish and ex-
pensive than Worth. When she received it.,
however, she was much disappointed and at
once sent it to modiste in New York, who is
now at work upon it. 1t is said to have already
cost 500, 900.
The material Of the wedding gown is ivory
satin. The front skirt has been arranged in
two deep pleats, each turning toward the
middle. This Ia to give springiness. The lace
drapery over this cost abroad 5000. The train,
which falls away with fine sweep, is three
clusters Of orange blossoms are placed length
wise on the skirt; the three on the right side
are across and not far from the bottom. The
corsage, which opens in a small V back and
front, has turned over it larger v Of lace
with an overlapping scarf, the ends being in
front.
Two half moons Of lace, delicately wired,
finish the neck opening and edge the elbow
sleeves, which have high puffs Of lace, also
wired. cluster Of orange blossoms nestles
amid the lace on the corsagee, which is sharply
pointed from side seams. Under the point at
the back falls deep founce of lace.
Three superb point lace bridal wells have
been sent from France to Miss Fair, and she
may wear one, but at present her idea is to
discard them all and envelop herself IN clouds
of tulle. The brides mother was a few years
ago divorced from ex-senator J. G. Fair.

VALUABLE SERVICE.
The loyal citizens Of Washington will long
remember with gratitude the service of these
companies when they were surrounded with
southern sympathizers who were ready at an
opportune time to give cooperation and assist
ance to the invaders. The defenders made the
arrest Of many disloyA persons, and their
character, courage and determination struck
terror to the enemies OF the governments within
ganizations and prompt action doubtless saved
Washington from falling into the hands of the
confederates.
A LErrKa FROM ONE OF THIN
In support of this statement quote the fol-
lowing passage from letter just received by
me from Hon. p. n Clark Of St Paul, Mimi.
He was one Of the chief officers and trusted
men Of Gen. Lanes command. He writes me
''There cannot be . very large number of us

He was my right hand man that April night al

that he made was better understood and appre-

the honor Of having saved this capital from
capture by the rebels'"
