HIS HAIR TOO LONG.
A Letter Carrier Whose Flowing

OAKLAND. Cal, Sept. 16-Postmaster
J. J. White has been called on to decide one
of the most interesting questions ever sub

has searched through the postal laws but
has been unable to find a regulation that
will fit the case, and now he is seriously
considering the propriety of submitting the
matter to the department at Washington
The question is whether Lehman p. Baare

Oakland that the young man became in

In order to soothe public comment Post
master White placed Baare on the night

Baare positively refused TO have his locks

Finally he hit on a compromise He sug-

the tall cap. Baare readily agreed to this
and now appears each day with his hair
done up and hidden from view.

LAMB SKINNED.
Neat Job at Terre Haute by Ex-Rep-
resentative NIason.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE Ind, Sept 16.-The Re-
publican meeting for ex-Representative
Mason. last night is generally considered
as being the most enjoyable, from Re
publican standpoint, that has been held
here this year. There was a big crowd that
relished his argument and wit on the issues
generally, and there was singular sat
isfaction in the expert manner in which he
skinned John e. Lamb and threw his pelt
to one side. All the town is to-day talking
about this latter feature of the melting. and
Democrats as well as Republicans are glad
that for once a speaker went after a man
who has used his bitter tongue against
everybody. In campaign times he has as
sailed Colonel Thompson, Mr.. w. r. Nc
Keen and others on the stump, and person
ally has talked about everybody he knows
until it has come to be a well-understood
fact that all of the opposition he has had
in his own party such as caused his de-
feat for Congress in Il district made espe-
Cially for him, came from his personal COM
ments men. He has always escaped re-
tort in kind from the platform. Usually he
assumed to be personally friendly with Re
pubicans and they spared him. as indeed
some would spare him, at his request, from
the full effect of last nights skinning. He
at Paris last Saturday night with Gov
ernor Matthews and according to the re-
port in the Paris Democratic paper warned
his hearers that ex-Representative Mason,
who spoke there yesterday afternoon,
would tell them more lies than any hypo-
critic in the country" Last night at the
wigwarn here Mr. Mason read this state
ment. which was reprinted in the Terre
Haute Gazette Monday evening. Mr.. Ma
said he had ben told that he was like
George Washington. because he could not
tell lie, and If he should say to an audi
ence of Terre Haute people that John
Lamb believed in free silver they would
know he was lying. He had been asked to
give Lamb skinning, but he did not be-
leve he would, because his pelt was not
worth the time. He did not want to spend
his time on a man whose only ambition
was to live long enough to be mutton
head. The crowd laughed and laughed
again. 1t is well-knoWn that Lamb was
opposed to the free-silyer doctrine until aft
er the Chicago convention, and every one
appreciated the hit on that point. Lamb
evidently knew what was coming. because
yesterday afternoon he was denying that
he had said what the Paris Democratic
paper quoted him as saying. He did not
deny 1t in the Democratic paper here, al
though he had ample time to do so before
