HAS BEEN MADE BY THE POSTOFFlCE DEPARTMENT
 AT WASHINGTON.
A BIG PETITION IGNORED
By Postoffice Inspector Hall- The Meeting Last Night
 We'll Attended.

In response to call through the Graphic, the merchants and citizens of this city, met at Knox's hall Thursday night to protest against the action of the United States Post office Department (through Inspec, tor Hall at Little Rock) in renewing the lease on the building which is occupied by the postoffice in this city, and which is now most incon- yeniently located.
 The meeting was largely attended and much enthusiasm was manifest. ed to protest against, and, if possi. hle, reverse the lease and have the postoffice removed to a convenient place in the business portion of the city,
 Hon. ". H. Langford was made chairman and MT. L. O. Knox secre- tary. A number of addresses were made by the prominent men present. MT. Chas, Veil was loud in his pro- test. He not only demonstrated the great ineon venience that the busl- ness people are put to by the pres- ent location of the postof flee, but was confident that the business Of the postoffice would be doubly as much, if it was removed to a con- venent and more centrally located place in thesbusiness portion of the city,
 Other speakers wele Messrs. R. E. Lee, E, A. Sheppard, T. Pearce and many others. All protested in an gry tones at the big mistake that has been made by tbe postoffice de- partment.
 It looks as if our business men, l Sixty seven ia nun oer) who over a month ago signed petition to have the postofice removed and sent it to Postofice Inspector Ii all at Little Rock, have been ignored by that gentleman. This matter was taken 1 up early by our people and in ample time to avoid what has happened, and it seems, judging from the re- suit ir the matter, that Inspector Hall has wronged the majority of our firms.
 We have been informed that the United States government, i'll any of it's departments, holds the right, at all times to cancel any lease or papers of any kind that have been signed up ci approved. It is the duty of the postoffice department TOW to make right the wrong they have done. Many, in fact, all our business men feel hurt over the matter, for the simple req son that their largely signed peti- tion was ignored entirely by h. spector Hall.
 h response to the telegram sent to John S.. Little at Washington a few days since by our merchants. relative 10 the holding up of the lease, ''if it had not been approved, , the following telegram was receiv- ed in this city Thursday:
 Washington, D. o., Feb. l. Chas. Well:
 Lease was approved January 25. Sorry did not learn of your wishes earller. JOHN ,. LITTLE.
 The following resolution and which will be circulated today for signatures, was adopted and will be sent to MT. Little and the postal department:

nTv FIrst sweetheart.

[ must have been six when I met her,
And she was sweet miss of dves
I stumbled across where they'd set her
To wait for her nurse to arrive
With mOdesty thought unpleasant
The lady could not be induced
To defgn to take note was present.
Until I had been introduced
But, one minute after, between us
Acquaintance had ripened so fast
That could you who read this have seen
US,
You'd said we'd been friends for years
past
And not alone friends, nay, but lovers;
My heart went at once to Bo-Peep;
And half an hour after --rnuvers''
Discovered us, arms clasped, asleep!
Then age came, and with 1T new faces:
AS grOwn-uPS, drifted apart;
found in new sweathearts new graces;
She gave to another her heart
The Bo-Peep of childhood is welded.
Her children may now read this rhyme;
But firm on mind is embedded
Her picture-drSt sweetheart of mine.

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery There is little doubt what
ever that its birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring of game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
IN Oriental literature as In use fully
zoo years before the Christian era
From India chess spread into Persia,
and then into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took 1t into Spain and the
rest of western Europe The game was
In all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art of war.
The Arab legend upon this point ia
that it was devised for the instruction
OF young despot by his father, a
learned Brahmin, to teach him that a
king, notwithstanding his power, was
dependent for his safety upon his sub
jects- The Greek historians credit the
invention of the game to Pa1ainedes.

from her guests that the dinner which
she is serving is other than an un-
usual one. 1t is a formal affair, and
amount of grace can make any
thing else of it, For nothing speaks
loudly nor unerringly as a
formal company dinner. Every eourse
shows it; every movement of the wait
ress proclaims it; every piece of china
fairly cries out the occasion And of
course no one at the table really en-
joys it. The guest certainly does not,
because he knows he is being made
company of, and that feeling is always
enough to Offset every enjoyment. The
hostess does not. for she hasn't the

why Searched Clothes Are Cnhealthfu1.
Hygienists have been making
starched clothing the subject of their
Investigations and have esta blished the
fact that starched garments act as
barrier to the escape of heat from the
body One, therefore. would suppose
that these starched garments, which,
as everybody knows, heat us so I'M
comfortably in summer, would at least
have the advantage of keeping the
body warm in winter, on account of
being a non-conductor of heat This,
however, is not the case, for the value
OF starched pieces as non-conductors
increases with the increase of outer
temperature, and correspondence de-
creases with the drop of the thermom-
eter. This means, therefore that in
winter. when we try our utmost to
keep the body warm and prevent as
much as possible of the escape of AMI
NAL heat. the starchy raiment is re-
duced to a minimum as protector on
account of the outer cold, and in sum
mer. when We wish to keep cool, these
same garments are effectuaI in hold
ing back the heat of the body 1t is
also to be noticed that when perspira-
ton runs the starch, it not only clogs
up the pores OF the linen. but also
