A CONFERENCE HELD.
A Proposed Improvement at the Cit!
POgtOffice,


a Proposed improvement at the City
PostOtfice.
Chief Clerk Cooley and City Postmaster
Sherwood held conference this afternoon
with Commissioner Ross regarding propo-
sition to extend the shed on the Louisiana
side of the postoflice out TO the curbing,
enabling the removal of the money order
and registered letter division from the
second TO the first floor, an improvement
which would greatly facilitate the busi-
ness of the office. With this change
captain Sherwood thinks the present
building large enough for business until
the new postofiice is built. The owners
are willing to pay the cost of the extension
II the Government will lease the place for
five years at cost of Sill 900 per annum,
They also offer for rent the adjoining
building east at cost of 81, 500 yearly, the
necessary repairs to be made at the cost
of the postal authorities.
II is not likely that the Commissioners
viii! permit building to be erected over
the sidewalk. Ii would depreciate the value
of property on the south side of Louis
lana avenue west of Sixth street,
which fact the owners in that vicinity al
ready know. They would vigorously pro
test against such encroachment on their
rights should the Commissioners act
favOrably on the suggestion made.

St.Paul and Wheeling and Lake Erie pre-
ferred were the only stocks that attracted
any attention on the Stock Exchange this
morning. The first named made a frac-
tional advance, while Wheeling, Lake
Erie and Western were exceptionally
strong and advanced from II TO 72s. The
remainder of the list hardly recorded any
changes. Dealings were on very small
scale, business apparently having been
restricted by the fact that the, exchange
will not open tomorrow. The sales for
the morning amounted to only 1900
shares. Atnoon values were generally
fractionally higher. At this writing COM
plete stagnation prevails.

EVENING March p, lSOl
Editor The CrHic DEAR SIR; \ note
that appears in your issue of this evening
shows the writer is totally ignorant Of
Father lgnatius and his work which has
spread blessings over almost every part of
the world. Long before he visited this
country he was known rs the champion
OF evangelical truth and spiritual life in
the Episcopal Church. Multitudes all
over England and Wales crayed his SER
vices. Here in America, in Boston and
New York, where he has held missions,
the same interest has been excited and
spiritual blessing has followed his work,
and more especially in the upper aud
fashionable classes of society, The New
York papers have considered IL worth
while Ia devote many columns to thesu1-
ject of Father lgnatus and a description
of his wurld-famed work at llantony.
Numerous illustrations of the Abby and
himself have been given in the New York
Ha0id and World and IribHac. ltis only
ignorance of fact that could have caused
your correspondent to speak of the Rev
ercnd Father and ms work rs he has
done Respectfully yours,
\ FRIEND or ALI RELfUiOrs WuRKs.
