Supreme Court Decision.
Washington april 1.-the United

books published periodically are not
entitled to transmission through the
mails as second class matter. The
opinion was delivered by Justice
Brown, and covered three cases
against the postmaster general, insti-
tuted respectively by Houghton, Mif-
fin & Company, Smith and others, and
Bates & Gilbert. The chief justice and
Justice Harlan dissented.
The question decided has been the
subject of long controversy between
the postoffice department and the
publishers, both before Congress and
in the department, For sixteen years
and under eleven postmaster generals
these publications were carried as sec.
ond class matter, though under protest
| from the department, and with many
efforts to have the law modified or re-
pealed, but without success. Failing
in this, the postmaster general issued
an order in 1902 excluding the books
from the second class rate Thereup-
on the matter was taken to the courts,
the effect being that the postmaster
general was sustained by the final de-
cision as rendered today.

PERMIT MAY BE GRANTED.
Protest Filed by D. A. r. Does Not
Apply.


Mrs Cornelia c. Fairbanks, president gen
eral of the National Society, Daughters OF
the American Revolution, about a year ago
wrote to the Commissioners stating that the
society had been informed that certain
parties proposed to erect foundry upon
square 172, which adjoins the property of
the society on 18th street. Mrs. Fairbanks
stated that the society considers that the
erection OF foundry on the lot adjoining
its property would be great discomfort,
annoyance and hindrance to its work, and
positively detrimental to its interests" and
protest was therefore entered against the
Issuance Of q permit Tor the budding OF
foundry.
The writer was at that time informed, in
accordance with a report of the building In
spector, that no application had then been
received for the erection o. a structure of
the character described, and that when
such application should be made the matter
would be thoroughly Investigated before
the permit was issued.
few days ago Building Inspector Ash
ford reported to Capt. Harding, assistant
to the Engineer Commissioner, that an APP
pIication had been made and plans filed for
the construction of an iron shed for the
storage of iron on lots q and % in square
172. Capt. Harding in forwarding the pa
pers to Col. Bddle, Engineer Commissioners,
stated that there Is no regulation forbidding
the erection of a storage shed IOr iron, pro-
viding it be of incombustible material He
said that section 100 of the building regula-
tions forbids the erection of a building for

for such purposes develops there seems to
be no reason for Withholding the permit for
the storage shed.

ton with the work In this city on the new

for roofing the tunnels.
The question as to the method of cor
struction and material to be used in the
various subways along public streets in this
city in connection with the union station
work has occasioned considerable discussion
among the officials of the District engineer
department and the engineers of the rail-
road company in. charge Of the terminal
work.
An extended conference on the subject
was held at the District building recently
between the District officials and the rail-
road engineers. At the close Of the confer

CHINESE LITERATURE.
DR.. Yamei Kin's Talk Yesterday at
Senator Kean's.

Yesterdays talk by Madam Yamef Kin,
the Chinese physician, at the home of Sen
ator Kean. was on the subject Of Chinese
literature and folklore, and was attentive
ly and appreciatively followed by large
audience. Madam Kin, whose pronuncia-
ton of English is of the purest and whose
vocabulary is unusually extensive, de-
scribed the intellectual phase of her coun-
trymen In terms which revealed the richly
poetic spirit of the orient Her translations
of extracts from noted Chinese stories and
poems were delicate and charmingly ex-
pressfve of the grace of the celestial STYLE
She explained that the Chinese literary
inspiration is derived chiefly from the de-
sire to express the most possible in the
least number of words. The supreme aim
of the master craftsman in letters Is TO
cause his reader to- conceive great posi-
bilities of imagery and thought out Of
single symbol, and to use no word twice
in the same composition. The magnitude
of this task is to be appreciated when 1t
Is understood, as Madam Kin explained
one of the most popular Of the Chinese
novels is in twenty-four volumes, each con-
tanning about 400 pages. This novel, the
story of the experiences of a being from
the supernatural world on this plane for
a season, the lecturer briefly outlined. with
several passages at length. 1t disclosed
fervent love of nature and of great spirit
ual exaltation.
That phase of the Chinese literature
WHICH is expressed III 1Olk-lCre, LIT. Nln
said. may be traced to the same origin as
that from which the European folklore in
large part sprang. The resemblance be-
tween the two series of tales is therefore
not mere coincidence, as from India
branched in both directions the anecdotes
and fables and moral stories which were
bred there In the Buddhistic atmosphere
under religious inspiration. Some of these
tales the speaker recited with a quaint,
humorous appreciation which was most di-
verting to her hearers. She gave a lumber
of stories relative to the esteem In which
the King of He'll is held by the Chinese,
he being far different conception from
the western devil.
In conclusion DIR. Kin noted the fact that
China has produced thus far only one
royal parsonage capable of creating liter

Ming whose masterpiece. The Butterflys

lish. few words on the Chinese drama
closed the lecture, after which those pres
ent were introduced to Madam Kin and
refreshments were served. TOdays talk
is on the subject of Isl An, the Empress
Dowager of China, who, DIR. Kin says,
stands as one of the most remarkable per-
sonages in history.
