Mourning stamp, Suggested.

Assistant Postmaster James Gayler
has many callers daily, among them
some persons with queer missions. A
man who bore in his hand a letter i'll an
envelope of mourning inquired for Mr..
Gayler recently. He wanted to know:
Isn't there any way that | can get
mourning stamps:
Mourning stamps: | never heard of
any" said Mr.. Gayler in some astonish-
ment.
Il should think the government would
print some. 1t is dreadful to put a big.
staring Columbian stamp, or even an
ordinary one Of the garish red color, on
a letter OF mourning. The stamp simply
destroys all the effect Of the black bor-
der. There ought to be mourning
stamp to harmonic with the envelope"

quest before the department at Wash

California Courts May Decide as to n Mar
riagc Eos six Months.
An interesting yet extremely ridicu-
lons question has found its way into the
California courts. The problems to be
solved III all seriousness 10y the courts are
these: "Is IL contract of marriage stipu
lated to expire ut the end of six months
or a yeara valit! document? If the docu-
ment he valid. is the limitation good?
Does the limitation invalidate the con-
tract: Can the relations of the contract
ing parties be legally laid aside at the
end of the prescribed time: Would Il
child born after the limit has expired.
and We're the contract not renewed. be n
legitimate child" 1t seems impossible
that i'll this day such Il question should be
seriously raised. but rs Il matter of fact
there has developed amons, the Caliior-
MIA lawyers some difference OF opinion on
the subject.
Six months ago Edward NJ Elkus aud
Lille Mabney OF san Francisco entered
into a contract 40 be married for IL
period of six months i few days ago
they again repaired to Il notary's office
and caused a second contrac, to be drawn
up for another SIN months. The Young
couple maintain that they have ihc ad-
vice of good lawyers that the contract is
good. The situation is s,lcn novel one
that several reputable lawyers have per-
suaded the young couple To permit the
question 10 be submitted To g court Of
adjudication. Just how 10 get this he
fore the court is The question. 1t can,
hardly he accomplished by divorce pro
ceedinys. neither could 1t be accomplish
Ell by criminal process. Lawyers. how
ever, declare that they will End a way If
bringing the matter to judicial notice
in order that the ridiculous proposition
may be settled at once.
Some of the best lawyers in the state
have taken an interest III the matter.
Many prominent citizens declare that ii
is against public policy for such a cues
ton to lie disniiied by Il doubt for any
length Of time. On the other hand. there
are Il few lawyers who consent to main,
tain the strict legality of the terms o!

of the Conservative party aua the editors
of certain leading newspapers. Some
slight weakness in consols suggests that
the impression may be spreading to tinan-
cal circles.
Whether these sinister forebodings are
based solely upon facts aud reasons
known of all men it is impossible TO
say. Some ground for apprehension
must exist when the conservatism Of
English Journalism is SO far overcome as
to lead the management Of at least one
great London daily to undertake extern

foolish enough to express his fears in

cially the Tory journals. to describing il
the gloomiest language the dangers
which would impend if war should find
England unprepared. The situation III
the newspaper world proves at least the
sincerity of the alar,nist Tory press in
promoting a'naval panic. This agitation
and probably other causes have already
had an important effect.
There is OF course no thought of Great
Britain being the aggressor i'll the appre-
hended quarrel. The prophets Of war
profess to believe that Russiaard France
will take advantage Of amy provocation
to draw the sword against England, and
will seek TO crush her by series of sud
den blows before Germany or the triple
alliance can find an excuse for joining in
the melee. They say that in spite OF
England's professions of neutrality, hotl
France and Russia are convinced that
she will, Oh some preteHt, go to Ger
many's assistance when the inevitable
continental war breaks out. Therefore
the new allies argue they might as well

down no less than nine feet and the
debris bodily transported and dumped

can do no possible harm.

In view of the great reduction of the
price of flour within the last year,
great many people have wondered why
bread continues to be sold for ) cents Il
loaf and the loaf not perceptibly in
creased. The reduction in the price of
lour between Dec. 1, 1899, and Nov.
20, 1893. according to the official quota.
tions WAS as follows: Patent, last year.
$3.50 and So 80; this year. S? 95 and So. 10.

year, 500 and 81 60; this year, $3.50 and
%2.30. Lower grades. last year, from 81
to S2,35, and about the same at present.
Now, these are the prices at which bak
ors and retailers buy -four. and while
reasonable people donot expect toderive
the whole OF an advantage that amounts
TO almost - per cent. they do expect to
get some benefit III the increase in size of
luaves. Such advantage has not been
theirs. On the contrary. while the loaves
have not increased III size or the price
been reduced, many householaers declare
that never before have the poor qualities
in the commercial bread been SO con-
smcuous. The only explanation that
the bakers and iionr dealers can give is
the reduced sales of -four III large lots
The bakers say that since the redUc-
ton people have taken to baking their
own bread TO an extent not hitherto
known To the trade since commercial
bread became the fashion This prac-
tice of making bread at home has large
/ ~ reduced sales TO retailers and While
the latter get some reduction IN price
, they say that the decrease in the sales
has been 50 great that they cannot afford
to share that advantage with their Gus
toners. Eut this does not explain the
