Extra Valuable Present.

noon session. but committee consisting
of Lord Herschell and Richard Cart
wright and Messrs. Dingley and HaSson,
was in session. Owing to Mr.. Kasson )
official position as reciprocity commits
sioner and the prominence of Mr.. Ding
ley in tariff affairs 1t was inferred that
this committee was working on the ques-
ton of reciprocity. Sir Richard Cart
wright has long been identified with the
Canadian movement for reciprocity. The
presence of Lord Herschell would insure
attention TO British interests in case Of
a reciprocity discussion, one of the main
factors thus far developed in the reel
procity discussion being as to anferen-
tials in favor OF Great Britain in the
present Canadian tariff.
The commission will hold daily sessions
at which the work advanced 20 compile
ton by committees will be passed upon.
One of the commissioners stated. today,
that until all the subjects had been dis
posed of each one remained open. The
courtesies shCWered upon the commits
sioners in Quebec are 20 be reclprocated
here by many social amenities.

rooms and the hardshlps continued until

Miss Marie wainwright is playing the
leading role in ''Shall We Forgive Her, y
the new English play which comes to
this city shortly The piece made an
emphatic hit in New York city, where
it was produced by Manager Jacob Lit
at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. 1t
is said to be very strong story of
English domestic life and is not de-
pendent upon any melodramatic effects
or sensations. Miss wainwright has made
a strong individual hit in the leading
role which is particularly well suited to
her recognized ability as an emotional
actress. This is Miss Wainright's first
appearance outside OF Shakespearean
and so-called legitimate roles.

This shows steady increase of So, 129
for six month, or about $500 a month.
The next six. month will be even better
business months than the past six, and
will no doubt come near putting the
Raleigh office in the list of frst-clas SIS
offices.
Already it is one of the highest second
class offices in the country. Its receipts
this year can scarcely fall below S40,-
600, the amount of receipts required for
a first-class office. Being in the first
class will mean many improvements in
tie service here in the way of additional
carriers and office conviences to aid in
the quick delivery of mails.
Even as it is some of these convent
ences are being put in. Sometime ago
an additional clerk was allowed in order
that the delivery window might be kept
open all day. Then a timeclock was
pint in for the employees.
And last week n letter-cancelling ma
chine was received and installed. 1t is
run by electricity and can cancel $50

minute that it will take nearly an hour
to do by hand.

ago and a few of them have been in

last year that they have been generally
introduced. The one here is numbered
