chairman Of the postal commission, sent
to Cuba to investigate conditions there,
has returned from Havana. He had
long conference with Postmaster-Gen

scribed the comparatively chaotic state
Of the service. Mr.. Maehen believes the
postal department IN Cuba will be self

that the stamp sales on the island un-

very likely to amount up about the

is said to be positively the latest thing
socially. A day or two ago. when she
was just recovering from severe at
tack herself, she sent around invita-

knew. were confined to their beds with
the prevailing epidemic. The time was
fixed with the usual formality, but the
place was made the home of the in
vited lady. Promptly at the specified
time, Mrs. Logan sent out six trays
which were delivered at the houses Of
the afflicted guests, with pleasant lit

other parties to the affair and the good
wishes of the hostess for their joint re-
covery.

Their conduct is above reproach. their

Some Of them are possessed Of intel

Their feet are small and well-formed,
and they have tapering fingers, which
are the envy Of their white sisters.

simon-pure negroes, but look upon
theH, with disdain. and in turn are re-

are numerous enough to form quite q

to their homes in the street cars.
