.PosToFFIcE ESTIMATES.
The Expenditures for Next Year Will
Be Much Heavier Than Last.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou has submitted OF
the secretary of the treasury, for
transmission to congress, estimates
for the postoffice department and pos
tai service for the coming fiscal year.
The amount asked for salaries is 81
52S,920, being net increase of $121,-
$50 over the current year, while the
amount asked for maintenance OF the
postal service is $2S, 100, a net in
crease of $15,000,0OO. The estimates
last year were about $12,OO0,0O0 in ex-
cess of the appropriations for the year
before, so that the increase this year
is about $3,OO0,0O0 more than the in
crease last year. APPARENTLY the
large increase in expenditures, accord
ing to the department, represents but
normal advance over the expendit-
ures of last year, and was made nee
essary by the constantly growing need
of the service of the public demand
for improved facilities.

The building, used as a tenement
house and containing 100 rooms, held,
as near as can be learned. between 200
and 300 persons at the time the fire
broke out at 1890.
The only person who knows the
actual number of occupants of the
building is the janitor, who is missing
and is believed to be under the great
mass of debris piled high inside the
bare walls of the structure.
1t was the custom for many of the
transients who came. mostly from
nearby railroad yards, not to register,

the time being.

London, Oct. 25.-The crucial stage

after the preliminary skirmish, to

artist colony around Fiftyseventh
street and Eighth avenue. She was
pretty and popular and good.
Miss Holmes was not only painter,
but even after she began to sell her
pictures she continued to be an en-.
thusiastic student.
She went to France and Italy, where
she studied art In the best schools.
She was successful there, and event
ually went to South Africa and Asia
for landscapes.
Still heartfree and winning her own
way in the world, she settled down in
Florence, where the air is the very
breath of art, and where the sky is as
tender as the eyes of love.
Here in the course of her work she
met young painter named Burr Mich
OILS. He, too, was q fine artist, and
their mutual tastes drew them much
together.
It is strange that the very traits
and characteristics and the mutual
likes which give birth to love should
in the end be the means of its death
and funeral. The young artists did
not dream of the truth of these things.
How could the art from which love
sprang be its murderer? Neither did
they reck of the future when they
became engaged. Was there not the
magic of love in their brushes? Were
they not bohemians enough to face
the future with light hearts? Could
they not paint the fearful eyes away
from the face of sorrow, and put the
cap and bells on the picture of pow
erty? On these fundamental beliefs
they were married.
Nichols, like his wife, was fine
painter. They lived an ideal life in
their studio. They painted together,
talked together, planned together, liv-
ing and dreaming for each other.
The Nichols artist family was in.

Then, say Mrs. Nichols friends, the
mans nature seemed to change en-
tirely. He became grumpy and cross.
Nothing seemed to please him. The
iron had entered his soul. The wife
had outdone the husband In his chosen
sphere of life. oh, strange phase Of a
mans nature which makes such q
thing unforgivable!
Some old philosopher has called
love the egotfsm Of two" The ego
tism of Burr Nichols had received
fatal blow, and under that blow love
withered. There was no more peace,
no more happiness in the household.

Microbe Of Gray Hair,

They have discovered a new mic

It is called the chromophage, its spe-

admire SO is full Of the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair,
and a man without hair need not wor-

It was thought that process Of the
