MESSAGES OF CUPID.
He Is DainE n Lively Business Today
at the Old Stand.

This is the day when hearts palpitate
more energetically than any other during
the year. all because of the receipt Of
dainty and perfun ed tokens of love. The
blood pump of the letter carrier acceler
ates it's action by reason of it's owner hav-
ing to staGger under more than double
load of the nissives mentioned.
There is another side of the condition CT
affairs, however Leaving love out of the
question, ST. Valentines day is always
eagerly awaited by certain married men
who take advantage of the opportunity 20
get even with their notherS-in- law, and hy
the school boy, who for months past has
been nourishing grievance against his
teacher Such persons invest in the comic
valentine and with great glee send it to
it's destination. where it seldom causes JOY.
Judging from the stores during the past
week, one would hardly know that the
cherished saint was about to make his an
rual visit, for not in many years has such
absence of preparation for such small
stocks of valentines been seen A visit to
the city post office today. however, IN
stantly and effectually dspeled the illu-
siCn of Star reporter that the observance
of st. Valentines day was expiring.
This is Postmaster Willett's first expe
rience in office with February IA. He is
doing nicely and Will recover. Everybody
connected with the establishment is earn
ing his salary i'm every sense of the word,
and = most decided and expansive burst of
energy is apparent. The rush began last
evening, and was on the increase up to a
late hour this afternoon According to
capt James f.. Bell the superintendent of
city delivery, the amount of valentine mail
banded today exceeded that of last year
TO a considerable extent 1t has to he
taken care of by the regular force, which
means great deal of extra work. Every
available inch of space was in demand,
and packages We're piled up to towering
heights. AS fast some was taken out
more came in to fill it's space, and although
the carriers seemed cheerful. they will un-
doubtedly feel relieved when the day is at
an end.
An interesting fact observed at the post
Office was a return to the old style of fancy
or lace envelopes. The custom of using
such coverings had almost ceased last year,
bat today the greater portion of the bur
den of each carrier was made up of valen-
tines in lace envelopes of all sizes.
Ii is the usual thing for the small boys
to gather in gangs" after dark st.
Valentines day ard wind up the occasion
by placing comic valentines under front
doors and ringing the door bells. with other
accomplishments that, for q few hours,
make the night akin to halloween.

veStiSatlOn OIL the honduras LOTTERY oolll-
pany's operations in controlling Florida
elections.
Mr.. Blackburn sought to cut 1T of by
moving to refer 1t to the committee on
privileges and elections.
THAT is in the interest of the Honduras
Lottery Company" declared Mr. Call amid
laughter.
Il never heard of the Honduras Lottery
Company said Mr.. Blackburn, land If 1t
will please the Senator l will change the
motion SO as to send this resolution, which
is obstructing public business, to the COM
mittee on revolutionary claims, private
land claims or to perdition."
Mr.. Blackburn'S motion to refer was de-
feated on a yea and nay vote, Il to 30, most
of the republican Senators coming to Mr..
Calls assistance.
Mr.. Morgan (Ala) sharply criticised the
course of Mr.. Call, who, Mr.. Morgan said,
was seeking to take the advice and assist
ance of politicians anxious to thrust a
federal inquiry into the state Of affairs OF
Florida.
Mr.. WOlcntt Causes Some Surprise.
There was some surprise when Mr.. VOL
colt (ColD said that he fully agreed with
Mr.. Morgan that the United States Senate
would not further consider this idle silly,
wicked, unconstitutional proposition. There
could be no purpose in it beyond the OBJ
struction of public business. 1t might as
well he proposed to investigate arson or
stealing. Even the Investigations attempt
ed were for the personal pleasure of Sena-
tors. If they went west, 1t was to Alaska.
If they went east, it was to some other
comfortable point. There was rush to
the committee on contingent expenses to
see which party of investigators could
first secure an equipment for their tour.
Ninety per cent of these investigations were
worthless.
Mr.. Blackburn then moved to take UP
the post Office appropriation bill.
The motion prevailed and the Call reso-
luton gave way to the post Office appro-
priation bill.

 Democratic Committee
FOR CALLING A CONVENTION
To Take Action on the Subject of Free Silver Will Not Do So Unless Duly
 Requested

Philadelphia, June 7.-National Chair man William Harrity has written the following open letter in answer to quer- ies put to him regarding the possibility of a democratic national convention in the near future to take action on the subject of free silver:
 philadelphia, Pa, June 6, 1S95-I do not expect or intend to call a meeting of the democratic national committee until next winter, when it will meet for the purpose of fixing the time and place for holding the democratic national con- vention of 1896, until shall be requested to do so by the requisite number of the members of the democratic national committee I do not believe there is any necessity for any convention at this dime. On the contrary, I am of the opin. ion that to call one now would be harm full to the business interests of the coun- try and prejudieial to the welfare of the democratic party

 The subjects and speeches on the pro- gramme last night were well selected, and it is but just to say that they were delivered with .the utmost grace and ease on the part of the speakers. The young men did honor to the college, their society and to themselves.
 The alumni badges were delivered to all of the graduating members of the so- ciety.
 A new feature was added to the ex- ercises last night. After the programme had been finished those in attedance upon request repaired to the college mess hall, where delightful refreshments tyere served.
