There is very general impress
sion among merchants and Others
who are particularly interested IN
the subject that it is a criminal Of
fense under the United States laws
to mail a dunning postal card. The
Ithaca, New York, Journal reports
that person IN lis neighborhood
wrote 10 The first assistant post
master general asking fer lnlorma-
,ion, and received a reply giving
the decision of Judge Thayer, Dec.
IA, 1889, on the wording of Il postal
card that was mailable and one
that was not. The mailable one
read "Please call and settle ac.
count which is long past due, and
for which our collector has called
several times, and oblige.' The
unmailable one read: You owe
me $3.50. We have called sever.
al times for same. If rot paid at
once we shall place with our law
agency for collection" The last
sentence, it is stated, ruled oui this
communication. Postal cards are
not mailable II they contain Ian
guage Of a ''threatenlng character"
and 1t Is a very serious threat TO
the average man to tell him that
you are going to sue him.

Producing him TO Virginia Democratic audi
euce Before he left he went TO Jay F. Dur

"Jay," said he ''iell me a good story to In
troduce Patterson with"
Jay ruminated a moment. "Got a lot of
Populists down there. haven't you?"
"Yes."
Flesh of your flesh. and blood OF your blood,
eh?"
"Yes"
"Then you want to be little easy with them
and try TO win them back into the fold, don't
you?"
YES"
'Well. start out by talking TO them that way /;
that you haven't come TO fight them but to rea-
sou with them; that you know that harsh
words only make them more indignant, and
widen the gulf, and then tell them this story:
early days OF the war a confederate regiment
was forced to retreat In the face OF oyrrwhelm-
ing numbers. They retired with more haste
than regularity, but kept up hot firing TO pro-
tect their rear. But every voiey from them
was answered vicOusly by the enemy. The
front OF the retreat in hot haste
"FOr Gods sake, stop that firing, boys" he
yelled. Don't you see you are making them
pesky Yankees madder every time you fire ?'

nearly fell off the platform, and he was so mad
that he couldn't see tiaight for ten minutes.
That yarn was told on Patterson down in this
district and nearly beat him for Congress.
When Private John Allen told II in Congress
Patterson hunted him up and wanted to have
satisfaction then ana there.

dozen small potatoes. The obligng atte ndants

-: The decline, in fact the dsappearance of
The dancing man Is matter that is the cause
: OF. considerable worriment on the part OF our
debuiantes and the bellies of seasons that have
:: passed. They poutingly ask each other, "Wny
DON'T men dance any more? They used to-"
The answer may be summed up in this wise.
In the first place San Francisco lacks the class
; OF young men, so noticeable In the larger
Eastern and European cities who have pract-
=. .cally nothing 10 do but to be eroomed By their
Wallets and pass the afternoon at the club Or in
Clipping Oh coupons OF To be engaged in other
light but exhilerating occupations. At night
they are fresh after their exhaustive labor and

OF our. society men who dance are obliged to
arise comparatively early. their energy Is ex.
hausted by work in banks, insurance office and
counting houses, SO that when IL comes line TO
dance they are more willing 10 go to bed. We
nave lew. II any. dlletanti and men of elegant
leisure who can rest The next day after bali,
and by so doing refresh their tired systems
Another feature that the non- dancing contiD-
= gent hold forth against is the condition of the
atmosphere in the rooms wherein kind host
esses ask them to enjoy themselves In the giddy
maze of the dance. In nine cases out of ten,
especially at private residences, the rooms are
overheated 10 such degree that when man
finishes dance he is IN a condition similar to
that Of a batheI emerging from The hot room Of
a Turkish bath. His shirt is a wreck his collar
, is imp, be perspires from every pore, and In
: general, feels and looks unhappy. And he has

= Ing dancers. Women, when dancing, are. as a
rule, clad much lighter than men and do not
feel the heat so much, but still they are incou-
,yenienced. However they seldom complain, as
they VIII do almost anything rather than be
bilieted as wal flowers. Some of the most
charming women in society circles seldom
dance; but they are most entertaining takers.
;: and the aVrrage man would prefer to talk rather
- than to dance. AS the matter now stands our
girls are being neglected on the dancing propo-
.sition. except when some narrow chested,
cbryssfnthemum haired appariton advances
and offers himself as martyr to discomfort.
