Under Southern Skies.

The one conspicuous play Of southern
life now being presented to the public
is Under Southern Skiesn It's sue
cess has been extraordinary and it
grows in favor with each succeeding
season. Under Southern Skies is
now in its fourth season and it is un-
questionably one of those plays which
like The Old Homestead" and WAY
Down East seems destined to go on
forever. Under Southern Skies" has
been called the .'Way Down East of
the South, and many even prefer its
scenes Of beauty, and air Of romance,
to the homelier New England plays.
The scenery of Under Southern Skies
is a reproduction of the luxuriant,
f1owery landscapes and stately homes
of the South, the women wear the
dainty, airy costumes affected by the
high born Southern woman, and the
play fairly bubbles with the gay and
lavish hospitality for which the people
of the South have always been noted.
Woven throughout the scenes OF merri-
ment and music with which the play
abounds, is story of intense interest
that holds the audience from the rise
to the fall Of the curtain. A large
cast is employed in the presentation
Of this play; twentyseven people, and
each one has been selected because oil

part. Altogether the appearance o

New Postal Regulation.

A special from Washington says that
"no stamps will be needed on third and
fourth class mail matter.
This order will be issued by the
postoffice department within the next
few weeks. 1t will be stipulated, how
ever, that every piece of mail must be
identical in character and in quantities
of not fewer than 1000 pieces.
These regulations are made IN the
interest of the large business houses
of the country from which thousands
of pieces of mail are sent out weekly.
Under the present postal laws each
piece of advertising matter must have
1-cent stamp affixed. It requires the
services of large force of clerks to do
the work This also holds true at the
postoffices from which the advertising
matter is to be dispatched, as each
stamp must be cancelled before it is
ready for distribution.
Under the plan now proposed by the
postoffice department it will not be
necessary to stamp the circulars or to
cancel stamps. A representative of
the business house will call upon the
postmaster and say he has 5000,
10000 or 10000 pieces of mail. He
will deposit the postage in cash.
The postmaster will select enough
samples to make a pound in weight,
and this number will be made the basis
of calculation. If the weight be found
distribute the matter to the different
points to which it is addressed. This
means saving of time to both the
business man and the postoffice Off
cials.
Before final action was take by the
postoffice department the matter was
submitted to the largest business hous-
es in the country and was pronounced
a desirable innovation. The rules
and regulations governing the deposi-
tion of this class of mali matter have
been under consideration for a long
time and will soon be ready for publ
cation.
