arrangement will effect large saving to purchasers who have their messages or addresses printed on postal cards. In or der to avoid the heavy black device at the top of the Jefferson card and leave a clear space for the postmark the new postal card has three lines of small type printed about an inch below the top ol the card. The card is thus divided later ally into two sections-one for the post mark and one for the address. The off cial description of the new card is as follows:
 Tn the upper right hand corner is a portrait of the late President Mckinley, | three-quarters face, looking to the left, with the words: Postage One Cent above and 1S43-McK McKinley- 1901 below the stamp and following it's elliptical contour. The portrait used for the subject of the stamp is one which was preferred by MT. Mckinley himself. The stamp is practi- cally devoid of ornament. To the left of the portrait are three straight lines oI lettering, the top line being one and one sixteenth inches below the upper edge of the card and containing in small cap- ital letters, the words, The Space Above Is Reserved for Postmark The second line is made up of the words Postal Card in large, plain capitals. The third line is in the same type as the first, and reads The Space Below is for the Address Only. In the upper left-hand corner is a coat -of-arms of the United States, it's position balancing that of the stamp in the upper right-hand corner. Above the coat-of-arms in the same style of capital letters used above the stamp are the words United States, and below 1t tho words of America following the con- tour of the coat arms. Black ink will be used in printing this card. The card will be the same size, 3A by 51a inches, as the old one bearing Jeffersons DOT trait.

A series of scientific experiments, made in the Capitol at Washington for the purpose of showing the physical proper ties of the pendulum, have brought out some strange facts in regard to the ac- tual movement of the Capitol itself. The big dome moves about six inches daily in an elliptical track.
 This movement is due to the influence of heat and cold. producing expansion and contraction. A wire was hung from the top of the dome to the floor below and on the end of it was a specially prepared plumb-bob with a lead pencil inserted in it's lowest point. The point of the pencil just touched the floor on which there was paper. The pencil point mark ed on the paper the exact movement of the top of the dome during a period of twenty-four hours, and showed it to be an elliptical track averaging six inches in length.
 The dome starts moving in the morning just as soon as the suns rays strike it. and the pencil draws its curved track until sundown, when a reaction takes place, and 1t moves back to its starting place, but not over the same track, for the cool air of the night makes the dome contract, so that the pencil draws the other half of the ellipse.

living in it, not merely entertaining there-
 in-quite a difference, be it understood,

 The death of James Hude Beekman is regretted by scores of friends. He is missed from his customary seat in the | Union Club. Jimmie" as he was known, had been a very familiar figure in club land for thirty years. His name, of course, signifies who he was and what he was He was one of those fortunate men who are not compelled to write, argue or declaim, or even to think Vel 7 hard. He was the typical New York gentleman of means and leisure.
 There are not many of the original Beekmans left in New York Fifty years ago 1t was a name to conjure with in society. MT. Beekman married Miss Flor ence Delaplaine and lived the quiet life of an old New Yorker, with old New York traditions to hold fast to. All his people had belonged to the Union Club since 1t was founded, in 1886. He will be greatly missed from his widow and coterie.
 Mrs. William Astor, who has arranged to sail for Europe on the steamship Kron Prinz on Saturday next, March 8, will spend few weeks in London with her daughter, Mrs G. Ogilvy Haig, before going to Paris, where she will again oc- cupy her apartments in the Champs Elysees. As has been her custom for years, Mrs. Astor will remain in France, with probably brief visit to one of the German watering places, until about the first week in July. She will then sail for New York and go at once to Beachwood, her villa at Newport, to spend the sum- mer.
 Dates for the weddings to be celebrated shortly after or during the Easter season are almost daily being decided upon. Miss Minnie D. Stone, daughter of MT. anu Mrs. Charles Francis Stone of No. II West Twelfth street, has decided to be married to Lieutenant Swift W. Martin of the Fourth United States Cavalry, on Wednesday, April g. The ceremony will be performed in All Souls Church, Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, and will be followed by a reception at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Stone The marriage or Miss Elizabeth Blanchard Whipple, daughter of MT. and Mrs. N.

| pie of Flushing, L. l., to Mr. E. P. Up- john of Garrison on the Hudson, will take place in the Church of the Transflgura- tion on Saturday afternoon, April 5. St. Thomas Church, Fifth avenue and Fifty third street, will be the scene of the mar riage of Miss Edith H. Hoadley, daughter of Mrs. Russell H. Hoadley, Sr., to Mr. George Lorillard Ronalds, on Wednesday, April 23. The marriage ceremony will Dc performed at noon, and will be supple mented by a reception at the residence of Mrs. Hoadley, No. 62 East Seventy-third street. A small but interesting wedding of this week will De that of Mrs. May Lester Armour to MT. r. A. Valentine, which will take place on Thursday, Mat 6, and will be attended by the rela- tives and few intimate friends of the couple. Mrs. Armour is the widow or Philip D. Armour, Jr, of Chicago.
 
 The time has arrived for the annual European fitting. MT. and Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs. Kernochan, MT. and Mrs. James Speyer, MT. and Mrs. Townsend Burden, MT. and Mrs. Ogden Mills, MT. and Mrs. Elbridge T. Gerry MT. and Mrs Reginald Riyes, MT. and Mrs. Bay ard Cutting, MT. and Mrs. James Still man, MT. and Mrs. E. J. Berwind, MT. and Mrs. Edmund Baylies and Mrs. Rob- ert GOelet VIII all proDaDly within the next few weeks sail for a stay of long CT short duration.
 It does not now appear as if there would be any unusual representation of fashionable New York society at the coronation. There Is a growing feeling that 1t will not pay to go to any great expense to simply have Q place at a win dow to view the procession, and expe- rienced travellers and tourists always like to avoid crowds. MT. and Mrs Winthrop Ruthefurd, who were married recently, will soon sail for Europe for quite long stay.
 MT. Robert Hargous of New York, ac- companied by his physician, Dr. William Appleton, and two nurses, is at Lake wood, N. J. He Is staying at the Laurel in the Pines. Although still quite ill, MT. Hargous is making satisfactory pro- gress toward recovery, and his physician believes the invigorating pine breezes will hasten his convalescence. Dr. Appleton is accompanied by his wife and two chil- dren.

ADS. FOR OFFICE SEEK ERS.

A majority Of the Mississippi
press have formed a combine
against candidates for office and
have decided to mention the name
of no candidate unless he adver
tises. In view Of the fact that all
nominations for State offices must
be made by primary election, a
candidate is practically compelled
to have his candidacy known in
each county. The Mississippi pa
pers, realizing this, have deter
mined to profit by it, to do no
booming free and to recognize DO
candidates who do not advertise.
