To the Editor of The Optic:
East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Feb. 19.-We
would like to know why it is that the
good people of this city have to be
''held up" on the prices of tickets for
good shows, such as the one last night,
while at other towns not more than one
hundred miles from here they play for
Sl.0O. If the new management of the
opera house is at fault and is trying to
work his friends, we'll and good, but on
the other hand if the play people are
working him; let him open his eyes, get
on to his job and protect the people of
Las Vegas. This show played in both
Albuquerque and Santa Fe for s1.OO,

CHIEF CLERK DOYLE ON
FREE DELIVERY DRIVERS

Chief Clerk John T. Doyle. Of the Civil
Service Commission, took exception this
morning TO an editorial In a local paper
in which it was argued at length that
the examination of applicants for the po-
sition of driver in the rural free dellv-
cry service should be conducted by the
PostOfIlce Department. and not by the
Civil Service Commission. Mr.. Doyle
said that the examinations were, in fact,
conducted by the department, and that
not a single clerk in the employ of the
commission devoted any time to them.
Nr. Doyle quoted from the commits
sion's report of 1901. in which the his
tory of the examinations was outlined
The examinations were turned over to q
committee of five postal employees. when
committee now prepares the questions
and has supervision over the examina-
ton OF the papers. The inspectors and
agents who investigate the proposed
route are all postal employees. and hey
give the notice of the coming examina-
tion.
Tie examinations were adopted III or
der to give more permanency to the
force Of drivers, and in order. as far
as possible. TO prevent the interference
OF political or religious influence Tor n
against an applicant.

The Cabin John Hotel property has
finally changed hands. according to re-
port which was current this morning. II
is understood that E. H. Neumeyer, who
contracted to purchase :he property
three weeks ago, has, through the me-
dunn of the Rockville court, obtained q
transfer OF the title. The consideration,
as has been published in The Times, is
sI25 600.
Mr.. Neumeyer agreed with the owners,
the Bobinger brothers, to purchase the
property, and 10 bind the bargain, paid
a sum deposit. When Mr.. Neumeyer
proffered the remainder of the amount,
1t was refused, and, according TO the
statement made at the time, the Bobin-
ger brothers declared their i tention to
retain possession of the property. Mr..
Neumeyer then carried the case to the
court at Rockville, TO compel specific
performance of the contract, with the
result made public today.

class resort in every respect, and cater
to the best trade in Washington. The

CLUBNEN TO ORGANIZE
AS MILITIA CAVALRY
Gentlemen Riders Giving ConSid-
Grafton to Project.

The National Guard is seriously con-
sidering the question of organizing cav
airy troop composed of gentlemen rid
ers from the Chevy Chase. Metropolitan.
and Country Clubs. 1t is proposed tc
make the new organization one Of the
most exclusive in the guard.
The new field of diversion offered By
a crack cavalry troop has been watched
with longing eyes by number of Wash
ington horsemen for some lime past, but
no action of a definite character was
taken until early this week. II organic
ed, the new troop will be given its first
taste of camp life this summer, when
the guard takes its annual outing.
Promoters of the idea are enthusias
tic, and with good reason. a cavalry
company in which each rider owns half
hunters, steepIechasers, and blue ribbon
winners, would make an ideal troop, I'M
surpassed by any in this country OF
abroad
New York, Boston. Philadelphia. and
many other Eastern cities offer excellent
precedents in their National Guard COM
panies composed entirely OF men of
means.
Rumors are abroad to the effect that
the sentiment at the National Guard
headquarters is against the proposition,
but men of such influence and wealth are
supporting it that many look for the
troop to become a reality N the near
future.
