planned by acting Postmaster Gen

birth and year of death immedi-
ately at the left and right respect

which will be directly under the
head. Above the head will be the
words "Series of 1901, )" and above
that cone Cent" The inscription

appearing on the postal cards, will
be abandoned and placed at a point
lower down, so as to leave the

Prospectus of the Wheeling Intel

ways been good paper, but has
improved very much of late, and
now devotes much space and en-
ergy TO West Virginia news, with
staff correspondents at number of
the best towns in the State. Mr..
John Day, the editor-in- chief of the
paper, is very able writer, while
the new business manager, Col.
James Kelsey Hall, is hustler, not
from "way back" but right up in
the front row and already climbing

The decision of the Supreme
Court which was rendered on Mon
day fell like bomb in the republi-
can camp. By it absolute free
trade is established between the
Philippine Islands and the United
States and effects of the decision
are retroactive, so that probably
some 81, 900, 900, which have been
collected as duty on goods shipped
both to and from the Islands, will
have to be refunded. Secretary
Gage said at Tuesdays cabinet
meeting that lie thought the repay
ment of more than one Fourth this
amount could be avoided but it is
difficult to understand how this is
to be done.
