COLUMBUS OHIO FIRM
shies Its Castor In the Ring as
Competitor for the COntract-The
Local Agents Experience with Cor
don, ogle and Postmaster Merritt.
Interesting Interview

The we'll known Reealia House of NJ c.
LilleY & Co., of Columbus, Ohio, has an
agent in this city who is trying to secure
some Of the Government contracts for letter
carriers uniforms and such things. The
GLOBE knows the house this agent repre-
sents inasmuch as the founder of it was at
one time our Superintendent of the State
Bindery when we were Public Printer of
Ohio It is probably to-day the largest
house of its kind in America and ships its
goods to all quarters ofthe habitable globe,
OF at least the civilized portions thereof
where secret societies exist. The firm
manufactures flags, banners, uniforms,
helmets, swords regalia Of all descriptions
and occupies an entire block with its ex-
tensive establishment. It employs high
priced designers and persons skilled in the
elegant and tasteful art of hand painted
banners and costly gold embroidering and
silver. It is capable of executing the
largest contracts in this as in the other lines
Of manufacture, including uniforms of all
kinds and descriptions.
It's Washington agent the past week
thought he would have a try at the letter
carriers uniforms about which there has
been considerable manipulation and under
ground skulldudgery. He applied to Mr..
Gordon, the president of the association,
and Mr. Gordon introduced him to the
secretary, Mr.. Ogle. This latter gentleman
brusquely informed him that the contracts
for the winter uniforms were all settled,
but that he could submit his bids and sam.
pies on the summer uniforms. Now this
was not the agents understanding Of the
thing inasmuch as he had fled some sam
pies with Postmaster Merritt for these very
winter uniforms. Hence he called on Post
master Merritt and inquired why this was
thus, or words to that effect
The postmaster, who has already shown
his hand on the side of justice in the letter
carriers uniforms. sent forPresident Gordon
and proceeded to interview him in the
presence of the agent
The substance Of the interview was to the
effect that the committee were running
things with the bit in their teeth, that they
had better go slow or something would drop
and that he (Merritt) desired that the Colum-
bus firm be given a fair deal, even il they
did not employ the abiguitious Eckels who
attempted to bribe ex-Superintendent Baker
and present President Gordon. Mr.. Gordon
acted very courteously towards the Column
bus firms agent and the latter so informed
the Postmaster, contrasting the same with
the rather perfunctory information fur
nished him by Secretary Ogle. The result
of this stirring up Of things will, it is to be
hoped, give the letter carriers cheaper and
better uniforms, even if somebody has to
go without the customary rake off, And
therein the GLOBE has done its whole duty

Last OF the Ceremonies for Prince
Henry

The serenade to Prince Henry Fl "
night at the German Embassy was a r2ag-
uidcent success and fitting conclusion to
the entertainment of the Prince in the ma
tion's Capital. Prof. Emil Holer had his
singers trained to the limit, and the chorus
was all that German chorus usually is
perfection.
At O'Clock the procession Of the German
societies moved, headed by a division of
torch bearers on the German Embassy from
the Rathskeller, Eighth and e streets,
northwest. Donchs band led the FIRST di-
vision. Then came the singers, eighty
strong, under Prof. Holer, aambeau bearers
attended the singers, while another division
of torch bearers closed the procession, all
under command of Chief Marshal Voelck.
ner. AT the conclusion of the sereuade,
which consisted of three songs, President
William Elterick presented to Prince Henry
and Ambassador Won Holleben handsome
souvenirs. The Ambassador made short
address of thanks on behalf of the Prince
and himself. The procession returned t.
the Rathskeller where festivities and
speeches we're the order of the evening.
