all history. This being the case. and
so many Of the interesting things
about the Fair emanating from and
finding their source here in the Nae
tional capital il is meet and proper
that the Fair and the things con-
ceraing it which are of interest to
the.people should find aplace 10 this
letter occas ionally. For instance,
| learn from Mr.. p. v. DeGraw. the
eastern press representative Of the
Exposition located here, that the
Worlds Fair Automobile Transit
Co., which has concession for au-
tomobiles on theexposition grounds,
has ordered 100 electric broughams
and hansoms, seating from two to
four persons each. These carriages
are to be rented by the hour, day
or week to private parties, families
and individuals. The occupants
will be permitted TO enter the
grounds in the vehicles. Ii is ex-
pected that the automobiles win be
engaged like hotel rooms, in advance.
For instance, chauffeur in an au-
tomobile will meet party Of ladies
at Union Station upon their arrival,
taking them first TO their hotel or
stopping place and then TO the ex-
position grounds, entering without
leaving the vehicle and viewing the
beauties of the exposition without
leaving il. This is a convenience
that the people Of the country should
know.
Another item OF interest to people
is that an order for the first issue OF
the new Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton postage stamps, which are 10 be
placed on sale at all post-ofiices in
the United States, May /, has been
sent to the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing by Third Assistant Post
master General Madden. Itcalls for
the printing Of 100000 of the l.

trait of Thomas Jefferson 1900, 900
of the Scent with Monroe s portrait;
8, 500, O0Oi of the scent with McKin-
ley's portrait. and $500, 900 of the
1O-cent stamps, with a miniature
map of the United States, showing
the territory acquired by the Louis
lana Purchase.
The great Baltimore calamity has
about knocked all talk Of politics out
OF both houses here in Congress this
week and almost the sole topic oil
conversation is the big fire that has
Quilted the business section OF the
fair city of Baltimore.
One political topic, however, tina
has been discussed here this week
is the editorial in a recent edition o.
the New York Evening Journal and
the many favorable comments there
on. AS is well known, the Evening
Journal and Morning American. Mr.
Hearst papers, were the only ones il
the city Of Greater New York thatsup
ported the Democratic ticket in til,
late mayoralty contest, thereby win
ming a signal victory for that ticket
Ii was some surprise, then, that the read
ers of Mr.. Hearst's papers here in the po
litical malestrom OF the nation, noted th,
editorial i'm question which was a red hot
roast on the new Mayor Mcclellan be
cause he said he had no authority to get
after the vicious gas trust OF that city
Ii was not a surprise, however, to tn,
| friends Of Mr.. Hearst who know his low,
for the plain people of the country anC
how jealOusly he safeguards their inter
ests and he will get back at any one whC
shoots at those interests, no matter
whether the shooter wears the Democrat
ic or Republican uniform. They recall
his fight on Mayor Van Wyck and the ics
trust OF New York and what happened
to Van Wyck. They know that although
he vas instrumental in putting MeClel
Ian in the Mayors seat, he viii not hest

up the cudgels for the people and gets aft
er the trusts who are robbing them when
it comes within the purview of his power
| to do so. The leaders of the party herr
are saying that while MIR. Hearst is true
blue Democrat, and always supports the
ticket and does much to elect It, his ac.
ton in this case, as in the case of the ice
trust, proves that he will not stand by
the Democrat after he il elected unless be
remains Democratic and stands for the
people who elected him. 1t is taken here
as an earnest of what he would do If he
were elected President of the United States
and that his fight on trusts is not hot air
nor dress parade. 1t in making friends
for him among the real Democrats in
