Mary, is it safe for you to be up and

that they had supposed from my telc-
gram that Mary had typhoid fever.
why didn't you say sea sick, instead OF

The PRECISE MAN.
Advice as to the Manner OF Putting on .
Postage Stamp.

AoVice 40 10 the manner OF Putting on .
Postage Stamp. ....
when you put postage stamp on
an envelope" said precise man to his
son, "you should put it on square and
true, in the upper right-hand corner.
and as near as possible to the margain
of the envelope. You put it on at the
right-hand corner for the CONVENIENCE
of the stampers in the post Office, SO
that it may be uniform in location with
the stamps on other envelopes and so
more conveniently and eXpeditiously
stamped; you should study the comfort
of others as we'll as yourself. You
should put it as near as possible to the
corner, SO that the canceling stamp
will be less likely to deface and so per
haps to obscure the address on the en-
velope.
"You should put it on square and true
because that is the methodical and
proper way to do. Many persons are
disturbed by the appearance of
stamp put on in Il careless and slipshod
manner. And can easily imagine that
such practice might work positive in
jury to you. You might have occasion
to write to a man on matter of business
that was of Importance to you. You
might compose and write this letter
with faithful care and set forth what
you had to say with commendable
clearness and precision, and yet upset
it all by slapping on stamp carelessly;
the recipient might judge you by the
one slight act done naturally rather
than by the studied work done with a
purpose.
"My son, don't do it; put the stamp on
where it belongs, so that the little touch
of color will grace the envelope and not
deface it,

McKINLEY's SILVER VIEWS.

McKinley's presidential boom has
now reacaed such proportions that
his Manages predict his nomination
at the ST. Louis convention on the
first ballot. AS it now looks, nothing
but miracle can prevent his nomin-
alton on platform satisfactory to the
Sound money" men who are expect
ed to put up the funds necessary to
conduct the campaign. This being
the case, his views on the silver ques-
ton are of vast importance to all who
believe in the free coinage of silver
by the United States, Independently
Of any other nation. Mr.. Mckinley
has views on this question, but just
now Is lying very low and winking
one eye at the silver Republicans and
the other at the gold men. His bosom
friend, John Sherman, in letter to
the Young Mems Republican Club of
Brooklyn, N. Y, thus defines McKm-
ley's position on the money question:
@There can be no doubt Of the opin-
ion Of Major Mckinley on the money
question. Hc is committed in every
form, by speech and otherwise, to the
Republican policy of maintaining the
present gold coin of the United States
as the standard of value. He, in COM
mon with myself and others, believes
that silver should be employed as
money, always, however, to be main
tanned at Il par with gold.
"The convenience of silver coin for
the minor transactions of life is so
manifest that no sound money man
would desire it's discontinuance, but
upon the primary condition that it's
coinage should be limited and it's pur-
chasing power maintained by the
fat of the Government at par with
gold"
IL Mckinley agrees with Senator
Sherman and other gold men Oh the
money question, how can it be con-
tended by any sane man that he fla
vors free coinage? Does Sherman
favor it? If not, how can Mckinley
who agrees with him? We leave these
questions To he answered by McKin-
ley men who believe in the free COIN
age of silver.
In view of the position of MIR. Nc
Kinley on the money question as set
forth by Senator Sherman, will the
Nevada delegation i'll the st. Louis
convention give him any votes? The
The records of the convention will tell
the tale.

May Hnve Been Murdered.

Sheriff Littel returned from his
hunt for the Smith Valley murderer
last week. He did not find his man
and probably nothing more will be
done to secure him by the local au-
thorities, as it is too expensive for the
county. IF Uncle Sam wants to pun
ish the murderer he will have to foot
the bills. 1t is now understood that
the infant child that was buried alive
with it's mother was Il half breed. and
many are now of tho opinion that the
squaw was poisoned instead of dying
Il natural death.--Dayton Times.

Early Closing.
Of The Eyaninp Sfar.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The shoe clerks of Washington have
noted with pleasure the active aid given
TO all reform and to labor measures In the
District by The Evening Star, and would
like to invoke its assistance in the early
closing movement. With the influence of
The Evening Star and the cooperation of
would be assured.
About the LIST of July a movement looking
to the uniform closing of shoe stores at 9
pm. was inaugurated by "Shoe Clerks I"
Assembly. Knights of Labor, which, how
ever. had a temporary setback by the re-
frsal of an avenue firm to join In the move
ment. but after the clerks had correspond
ed with the main house in Boston, setting
forth the conditions of the trade in this
city. the firm recognized the practicability
of the movement and readily agreed to
give 1t q trial
The sentiment expressed by many mer-
chants is uniformly satisfaction with the
result of the new order of things among
which is closer application to their duties
on the part of the clerks in appreciation of
the shorter hours, which, at the same time
entailed no loss of trade to the merchants
but only condensed the same amount Of
business in shorter day than heretofore
which is merely repeating the arguments
Quoted from a circular issued to the mer-
chants previous to the starting of the
suffer no loss of trade. the extra time gain
ed by the clerk was of considerable benefit
to him. i'll that it gave him what he lacked
before-needed time for rest and recrea-
tion and the enjoyment Of home comforts
after laborous day spent at the store
Many persons doubtless have but faint
conception Of the work and consequent
fatigue that Is undergone by the shoe
saleSman, who. did they but try the bust
ness for week. would then have a better
understanding of his duties and would
gladly extend their sympathy which can
be done in a most substantial way and
without any inconvenience to the public
simply by doing all their shoe shopping
before pm except Saturday when thew
have until midnight to make their mr.
chases- This is only slight request to
make of the shopping public. who can, by
very little or no Inconvenience to them
selves, render an immense service to the
clerk.
This movement is being Thoroughly aei-
tated among the allied labor Organizations
and they are giving it their hearty supDort
and active cooperation.
The local Federation Of Labor and Dis
trict Assembly. K of L., are also pledged
to aid this movement by all legitimate
means. and the federation now has a com
mittee instructed to wait upon those mer-
chants who have not yet Joined the move
ment and endeavor to convince them that
the cooperation of the merchan ts with the
labor unions only accrue to their adj

JOYCE AND BECKLEY.
How They Have Strengthened the
New York Club.

New York Club.
O. P. Caylor in the New York Herald.
No base ball team has ever played more
satisfactorily for its patrons than have the
Giants since the accession of joyce and
Beckley made it possible to close up the
weak points on the nine. During this time
they have met every other team in the
league. except the Baltimores and Philadel-
phias, playing thirty-three games and win
ming twenty-four of them or a percentage
CT .727, which exceeds the standing of the
champions in the pennant race. The list
of victories includes three straight from the
Chicagos and Brooklyns, five out of seven
from the Bostons and six out of ten from
the Clevelands, Cincinnatis and Pittsburgs
1t has not been much the winning of
all these games, as the uphill, aggressive
style IN which nearly half were won
. This great work by the Giants comes too
late to greatly affect the clubs position in
the championship race, but Joyce claims
that If he had months more time he'd get
into the one-two-three class sure. Previous
to the acquisition of Joyce and Reckley the
nine was like boat crew with two un-
skilled oarsmen in it. One might as we'll
expect to win as the other.
There is no doubt that the team which
the club now has 1t will have next spring.
1t will. however, have another catcher. and
probably Rusie, on the pay roll
The Giants have won four series. tied
one, lost three and have three unfinished
Only one Of the latter can be won or tied
They won 8 to 4 from Brooklyn, 7 to
from Chicago, to from Louisville and
o to 8 from st. Louis. They tied Cincinnati
and lost 8 to to Cleveland. 4 to to Pitts
burg and to to Boston. The PhiladeI.
phia series stands to 7. the Baltimore
to and the Washington 5 to 8. They have
nearly a certainty of winning the latter
