OPEN STAMP BIDS
FOR NEW CONTRACT
That of Uncle Sans Bureau
Higher Than New York
Firm.

II the contract Is awarded to the low
est responsible bidder the American Bank
Note Company, OF New York, will again
print the postage stamps ana books for
Uncle Sam. When the proposals were
opened In the POstofhce Department yes
terday afternoon fl was found that the
bid OF the American Bank Note Com
pany, OF New York, was lower than the
one submitted By the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing The bureau has
had the contract for printing the post
age stamps for the past twelve years.
but prior TO that time the New York
company furnished the stamps.
The difference in the bids is very slight.
and there is some question whether it
would be economy 10 award the contract
TO the American Bank Note Company,
IN view or the fact that the Government
has thousands OF dollars invested in
stanp-printing machines and employs q
large force OI men and women 10 print
the stamps.
The new feature IN the proposals is
a provision requiring that the name Of
the Offices city and State be printed on
all the stamps for Presidential offices
OF which there are 5000. In detail the
names OF twenty-siX large offices Of tile
country where the salaries Of the post
masters amount 20 5000 and over. the
name Of the office is TO be engraved on
ofilees the names VIII be printed after
the stamp has been engraved.
For ordinary postage stamps OF all
denominations. the New York concern
bid S0l5 per thousand. and the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing S0.51 For
special delivery stamps the company bid
10 cents thousand, and the bureau 1856
cents.
Separate bids were put in for the sDe-
clal stamps.
The bids were turned over to Joseph
J. Johnson, Inspector IA charge az New
Orleans, W 4. Fitch assistant chief OF
the stamp division, and W T. Zantgin-
ger. chief of the envelope division the
committee appointed for the purpose.
and they viii make their report 70 the
Postmaster General IN a few days.
The purchasing agent OF the POstOffice
W g Cochran. said today that the pTin-
cipal reason for having the names OF the
offices printed on the stamps was it's
tendency 10 prevent postofice robberies.
He said II a pOstOfflce was robbed IL
would be a difficult matter TO dispose Of
the stamps in any quantity il the name
of the robbed office WAS printed on the
stamp.

ELEcTING The MANAGERS
Society Students Have Exciting Time
in Electing Managers and Sec
retaries for Teams.

There have been some exciting
times over at the University the
past week in the election of man
ayers for the various teams in ath-
letic matters
The strife bias been all the more in
teresting because of the contests be-
tween the societies which have put
up their candidates, and for the fur
ther reason that the preparatory
societies have on this occasion taken
a hand by putting up two candidates
and electing them, to the surprise of
the older societies. Eevery society
member who participated in the
election was required to pay an
Initiation fee Of so cents and this
Melted the athletic managers about

Carl Hoffman, Of the Adelphians,
was elected manager of the track
team, Warren Smith, of the Ami
phyctions, vas elected captain of
thebase ball team. In the con.
test for captain of the football team,
there was quite an exciting time,
but James Dobson, of the Kappas,
won out over Guy Cook, OF the
Daedaltans, by a vote Of 10 to 60.

TWAS A BEAUTIFUL PLAY
''The Magic Melody" as Presented
by Mr.. whiteside and Company
Pleased Everybody.

Not in the least disappointing was
"The Magic Melody'' as presented
by Mr.. Walker Whiteside and COM
pany at The Gale Friday evening.
The work of Mr.. Whiteside has come
to be so we'll known to Mitchell
people that when he says he has
something good there is no mistaking
him. The Magic Melody is all
and more THAI he said, and Mr..
Whiteside's portrayal of the character
of the young violinist was a bit of
exceedingly clever acting. The at
mosphere of the drama brings into
the action a something that one has
not seen before. In the simple
character Of Helmar the lines of the
part give MI. Whiteslde opportunity
to deliver a fine speech to the mil
~lionaire on the name in which he
tramples down the rich and the poor
alike to gain his ends for added
wealth, and the actor rose TO the
occasion with great dignity. The
story Of the piece is indeed very
pretty and it is told so neatly, leav-
ing room for tie audience to bring
their imagination to bear in some
parts where the acting would not add
to the effect. Mr.. Sherman, as the
Italian, certainly shared the honors
with MI. Whiteside, and his por-
trayal was of a high character. Miss
Wolstan was much admired in her
work, as was Mrs. George, who pre-.
sented the character OF Mrs. Zellner,
the once famous German pianiste
In a Wholesome manner. Miss Shaw,
Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Sears were all
excellent in their work.
Rathbun's orchestra played some
fine selections during the evening,
and added much to the effectiveness
Of the acting with their dramatic
music.
1t is regretted, however, that the
audience was small, when the house
ought to have been packed for such a
high class attraction. There is very
little encouragement for Manager
Gale to secure these best things II
they are not going to be %patronized,
and the companies will refuse to take
their chances on securing a large
house. II the higher priced attrac-
lions are not wanted ~ the public
Mr.. Gale says that 1t will be an easy
matter to Ill: up the time with the
10000 show.

THE MIND Of THE MOB
From a Psychological Standpoint
Prof. George e. Vincent Made /.
a Fine Discourse.
q Fine Discourse.

Prof. George E. Vincent, of the
faculty OF Chicago University, is a
talker; a rapid talker, and he shoots
his phrases and thoughts at the
audience so swiftly that he rather
brings them under the same influence
of which his lecture is made up in
the main. Prof. Vincent came here
for the fourth attraction on the Uni
versity lecture and nee course,
and 1T was given in The Gale theatre,
which atforcs an admirable place
for the entertainments. A mag
nlticent audience listened with the
keenest interest to the subject that
was so ably discussed by Prof. Vim
cent, that of "The Mind of the
Mob"
To make his coming points clearer
Prof. Vincent related a number of
tales of the manner in which the
people are moved out If their natural
grove, permitting themselves to do
things which in their calmer mo-
nents would be foreign to their
nature, basing 1t on sort of a
hypnosis, in which the lower self
predominates in mankind. He pre-
sented in an interesting way the
manner in which a public speaker or
spellbinder controls his audience,
and it wasn't long before Prof. Vim
cent had his audience in practically
the same attitude that he was de-
scribing, and it was amusing when
the people awoke to the fact.
The character of Prof. Vincent's
lecture was somewhat different than
anything we had on the platform,
and there was a certain feature of
mystery in his subject that riveted
the attention of the people all the
more Barring the one fact Of the
very rapid delivery Of the speaker,
his lecture was very much enjoyed.
The next attraction of the lecture
and concert course will occur on Jan.
1907, when Adrian @. Newens, the
10, monologist, will appear for an
evenings entertainment.

THE GIRLS As DEBATERs
University Society Girls Debated the
Fifteenth Amendment on Fri
day Evening.

Friday evening occurred a red hot
time in the series OF debating con-
tests at the University when the
two girl societies came together in a
discussion OF the question, Gre
solved, That the fifteenth amend
ment has not justified itself" The
Ihalians had the affirmative and
were represented by Misses Vina
Baker, Leta Mariner and Ethel
Shepard. The PhiloInathians had
the negative and their speakers were
Misses Lottie Steninger, Onlca
Mile and Evelyn Dilley.
Miss Baker opened the debate
stating that they die not intend to
run down the negro, that they
didn't argue against the theory Of
the amendment, but that its results
had not justified it. She stated the
purposes for whichthe amendment was
passed and how 1T failed to accom-
plish them. She closed with showing
how the amendment had never been
popular with either the north or
south. MISS Steninger spoke for the
negative and commended that the
conditions previous to and during the
war made tile amendment necessary
for the protection Of the negro and
che south in general. She showed
that this was the only practical
method OF treating the negro. Miss
Mariner showed the conditions at
the time of the reconstruction period
after the war were such that the
amendment could not be justified.
The negro was incapable OF exercis-
ing the rights given him, and that
it increased the enimity between the
whites and the southern negro, and
during the period which it was en-
forced it was detrimental to the in
terests OF the south. Miss Mile said
that the progress of the negro since
the Adoption OF tue amendment had
fully justified itself. Miss Shepherd
took up the period since the negro
has been deprived Of the right of
suffrage and showed that It was
detrimental to the moral interests OF
both the whites and negroes, that
1T induced a disrepect toward the
constitution, and that a measure
which brought about its own circum-
ventfon certainly was not justified.
She closed with a strong appeal for
the negro and showed he had been
wronged by the amendment. Miss
Dilley finished for the negative and
showed what would have been the sit
uation had the amendment not been
adopted. that the negro would still
have been in serfdom; that the south
would have been retarded in her
indutrial growth.
Each side then devoted a short
time 10 the rebuttal, and the mega
tive speakers we're exceptionally
good in presenting the closing
speeches.
The judges we're Rev. A. W. Thurs
ton, of Mt. Vernon, Ejltor.y Dawes,
OF Fulton, and Attorney McGrath
of this city. They gave their decision
in favor Of affirmative.
