AGAINST THE NEW STAMPS.
Senator wolcott Opposes Them in a
Breezy Talk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The bill
for building bridge across the Mis-
sissippi at New Orleans has passed
both houses and now goes to the
President.
Among the petitions on the subject
of opening the Worlds Fair on Sun
day was one signed by Archbish hop
Kend tick and Vicar General Brady,
of the Roman Catholic church; Bishop
futile, of the Episcopal church. and
many other citizens of St. Louis, Mo-,
fayoring its opening after II O'Clock
Sunday and one from ministers of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South
of St. Louis; against Sunday opening.
Mr.. Wolcott Saturday called up the
joint resolution introduced by him
some days ago, directing the discon-
tinuance of the sale of Columbian
postage stamps.
He was at loss to understand, he
said, why those stamps had ever been
manufactured. He noticed that the
PostmasterGeneral suggested in his
annual report that he expected to re-
ceiSe 81, 800, 600 extra profits out of
their sale by stamp collectors. The
United States was too big a country
to unload crude and unusual stamps
upon stamp collectors.
Railroad clerks complained that the
recent Columbian stamp was so like
the registration stamp that constant
mistakes were being made by them
and he had one from physician who
said that if the sale of those stamps
were not stopped the stamps might be
used for chest protectors. Great
laughter.)
The resolution was referred to the
pOStOffice committee.

WinSton'S Coal Dealers

The recent cold wave which has for
the past few weeks caused such wide
spread suffering in almost every part
OF. the United States, has enabled coal
dealers to advance the price of coal in
almost every city of the Union. in
some instances as much as $3.50 and
50 per ton. However, the Winston
dealers have continued throughout
the entire coal boom to sell at the
prices prevailing prior to the coming
of the cold wave. This speaks well

FOR A NEW HOTEL.
Several Desirable Sites Which Might
be Secured.

THE SENTINEL is firm in the opin
ion that a new first-class hotel will be
forthcoming during the present year.
The lots of Vaughn & Company, and
Capt. r. r. Crawford. fronting on
Fourth street, are being considered as
suitable for a site. The lot owned by
the Forsyth Rifiemen, fronting on
Third street, can be secured.
This is generally considered to be a
very desirable and appropriate site
for such building. In case hotel
was built there it is understood that
the second and third stories of the
Pepper and Hanes' buildings, which
are to be rebuilt near by, could be
secured and fitted up as an addition
to the hotel.

Coolest of the Season.

Friday was the coolest morning of
the season. 1t appears quite difficult
to believe, nevertheless the thermom-
eter at the Academy registered at 81
degrees below zero. This is one halt
degree lower than it has ever been
this winter. In other places where
the Thermometers were unprotected
they ran down to and u degrees be-
low zero. The reason assigned that
the cold was not so this is that this
grade of weather has been here so
long we arc getting used to it.

which necessitated his resignation at
the Academy. From here he went to
his old home in Germany. 1t is quite
probable that he will pay his many

Saving Wood by Hand.

Since the bursting of the horse-pow-

envy it requires the service of eight
men to keep supply of wood in order
to keep the various buildings heated
up. 1t appears to be slow work but
the sawyers have thus far managed to
do the work. 1t is quite probable
that by another winter the buildings
will be supplied with registers, when
coal will take the place of wood.
