Postmaster General Payne
Writes His Objections.
Merritt His Deputy.

There Is not room on Twelfth Street
for both street railway business and
postal business" says Postmaster Cen
eral Payne. in A letter addressed to the
District Commissioners today, asking
for a hearing so that his department
may show why the now station of the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Yer
non Railroad Company should be To-
Gated elsewhere than at the corner of
Twelfth and d Streets northwest.

Will Listen to Merritt.
Commissioner Macfarland. who made
the recommendation that the new sta
tion be given the location mentioned
with tracks going along Twelfth Street,
is Still out of the city. Commissioners
West and Biddle despite this fact say
the hearing viii be granted TO City
Postmaster Merritt, who Mr.. Payne has
designated as representative Of the de-
partment I'm the matter. The hearing
will be held within a few days.
The opinion Of the District authOri-
ties seems TO be that. If the business Of
the POstoce Department of the United
States is interfered with by the cars
the company will have to seek another
station site and another route tor ITS
tracks. This viii reopen the controversy
most suitable site for the station.
IN his letter 70 the Commissioners, A
the Postmaster General says:
Twelfth Street l am advised is only
forty feet in width. 1t is constantly
used for the receipt and dispatch OF
mails and supplies for the department.
There is not room enough on The street
for both the street railway business
and the postal business. Therefore,

posed location and ask that your board

that anything that will interfere with

hearing last Saturday 10 the citizens OF
Alexandria. and. as "A result Of the ar
glments there advanced. designated the
by the railroad company, il was
thought the matter had been finally
settled Such is not the case.
IL is nOiuted out that the objections Of
the postOftce TO the tracks being laid
on Twelfth Street must be well
founded. for. II they were not, the
/ ostmaster General would hardly con
corn himself with the affair.
.u view Of the Commissioners aCmlS-
sion that the claims of the POStOffice
authorities are well taken, IL is thought
there is little doubt that the company

One Solution of 1t.

They had been engaged only fifteen
years, but it seemed long time to her,
and she was growing restless.
''Darling,n she said in gentlest ac'
cents, ''our betrothal has been very
sweet, has it not?'
ut has, it has indeed, my own."
"But it has been very long, don't you
think ?''
Eyes; it has been pretty middlin'
long," he rejoined.
II was thinking, dearest" she con-
tinued. playing with bis watch and cast.
ing down her eyes, THAT our betrothal
is nearly old enough to go out and
work for it's living. Couldn't we have
it learn trade Or get it clerkship
or put it out at interest or do some
thing with it so that we might realize
something ON it? 1t has been hang
ing about home so long, burning gas
and coal. and now it is nearly grown.
1t seems like shame to have it doing
nothing 80 long,

They are going to be married within
