Washington. January 6.-Thc Loud bill
to amend the law relating 10 second class
mail matter was passed by the house today
after two days of debate by vote Of IA
to 1906. The opposition to the bill made
strong fight against it. The statements
made on the floor as 10 It's effect on certain
articles were very conflicting. The most
important provision Of the bill denies the
serial publications admission to the mails
at / cent per pound rates. 1t is as follows
That nothing herein contained shall be
so construed as to admit TO the second
class rates publications purporting to be
issued periodically and to subscribers, but
which are merely books or reprints OF
books, whether they be issued complete or
IN parts. whether they be bound or un-
bound, whether they be sold by subscrip-
ton or otherwise. or whether they pur-
port to be premiums or supplements or
parts of regular newspapers or periodicals.
The bill also denies the newspapers the
sample copy privilege and the privilege
enjoyed by newsdeaers Of returning un-
sold publications at the second class rate.
The only other important change in the
present law provides that publishers whose
publications are admitted as second class
matter shall be required before depositing
such mail matter in the postoffice TO sepa-
rate the same into United States mail
sacks or bundles by States. cities, towns
and counties, as the postmaster general
shall direct.

Using as a nucleus for his investigation
the rumor that the life of the daughter of
Frank B. Trout, well known in Detroit,

reporter called on Mr.. Trout at his office,
103 Griswold Avenue. Mr.. Trout showed
some hesitancy in giving his opinion for

attended her, but she continued to grow
weaker and seemed to be gradually fading

ninety pounds, and the doctors said it was

How the clubs stand.
RAIN SAVED THEM.
MiIIers in Luck Yesterday, for In
dianapOlis Was Winning.

Rain came to the rescue of the Millers
yesterday and, soon after the close Of the
third inning, swept across the field in such
torrents as to kill the sport for the day
and keep several hundred people imprisoned
in the grand stand for half an hour. The
score at the time was to in favor Of
Indianapolis Goar was pitching in superb
form, while Figgemeier was being touched
up quite freely. Flynn hit for two bases
in the first inning after two men were out
but was left by Motz going out from third
to first. Kahoe started the second with a
clean hit to left and Wood drove him home
with three-bagger to right, scoring him
self on Stewards fly to Miller. Reilly,
whose release was recalled yesterday hit
to left for base, stole second and came
in on Goar's single to center. Goar was
caught stealing second Hogrever hit to
left for two bases, but Gray flew to Will
mot. Indianapolis went out in one, two,
three order in the third.
Minneapolis was never in sight of q run.
In fact. Wilnot was the only Miller to
reach first and that was in the opening
inning after two men were out. He hit a hot
one near Reilly, which the shortstop got
his hands on, but couldn't handle. 1t went
as a hit, but did no good as Pickett flew
to Hogriever. Goar struck out four of the
ten men who faced him.

I wonder that Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh did
not halt in his Grafton, or Mayor Warwick
lose his perfect ease for moment, TO see
the long file of forty-eight graduates of
l5ryn Mawr coming for their degrees in
shades of OLD commencement dayS-pink.
blue and green percale shirt waists and
serge skirts
While the gown of the girl graduate is
taking up so much space and thought this
month of June, it is significant that the
Bryn Wawr girls decided upon shirt waists
and plain dark skirts.
What of this for d revolution. When one
of the seniors was asked why she said
collegiate gowns were so much more be-
coming over shirt waists than anything
else. / was delighted to hear that, after
all, vanity had aught to do with it. The
dsbeleYer would have put il down to
higher educat ton. That the latter took
away all desire in a woman TO look her
best"
And shirt waists it was on commencement
day at beautiful Bryn Mawr While every
girl graduate from Normal School TO Vas
sar was wondering between exams" over
costumes. the Bryn AIawr girl was sailing
along for her degree with thoughts of
Swiss muslin or organdie in the back part
of her head.
The seniors made up their minds in the
spring that the humble garment was to
serve on their gala day, and so it did.
And that pretty senior was right | don't
believe any frock was half so well suited
to the black gowns and mortar-board caps.
The gowns themselves bore the only touch
of festal attire in the silk hood bordered
with ermine. The very novelty of the cos
tune made ii attractive.
