That amendment was ruled out on q

In the following session of the scc-

an amendment was offered by Hon.

alton Bill, provided that SO, 900 be

as an experiment for rural free deliv'

became q law. Mr.. Harrison was the

however. was not used during their
term CT Office. nor during the first two
years under Mr.. Cleveland. Democrat

"Sir: Replying to your letter Of

Hotel Clerks secret MARKS,

marks is an old one, and not 80 many
years ago every hotel had q code OF
marks which was known orly TO the
clerks of the house. Almost any night
the register OF the Fifth Avenue will
show a number Of oddly shaped circles
dotted with broken lines ana other
marks of similar puzzling character.
The characters do not mean that the
person marked is crooked or will make
