POSTAGE ON POST CARDS.
Important Ruling by the Postmaster
General

Postmaster General Cortelyou has issued
an order which will be Of interest to a
multitude of people engaged in the col
lection and exchange of illustrated post
cards, which are understood to be very
profitable mail matter. The universal pos
tai convention recently concluded in Rome
provides that on October 1, 1907, these
cards, which are technically designated
post cards in service in con-
tradistinction to the government postal
cards shall be admitted to the malls ex-
changed between the countries of the pos
tai union when bearing written messages
upon the left half of the front of the cards;
but inasmuch as such cards are now ad-
mitted at the postage rate applicable to
post cards both to the domestic mails Of
the principal countries of Europe and to
mails exchanged between them, the Post
master General has ordered that from this
date post cards conforming to the pro-
visions of the Rome convention. when
mailed in foreign countries and fully pre-
paid by postage stamps shall be delivered
to addresses in the United States without
additional charge for postage: and the Or
der further provides that on and after
March /, 1851 such cards when fully pre-
paid by postage stamps at the rate ap-
plicable to post cards, shall be admitted
both to the domestic and international
mails of this country and treated as post
cards. The date for the admission of these
cards to the domestic service was fixed at
March l next, anticipating the date when
the universal postal convention becomes eff
fectve in order that our people might at
the earliest practica BILE date have equal
facilities with other countries referred TO
in the exchange of these cards.

1928 Per Square Foot the Price Paid
for Property.

Another G street corner has been sold. 1t
Is the southwest corner of 18th and G.

tate. The price is said to have been S75.
600, which is at the rate of a little more
than $23 per square foot The name. of the
purchaser is not given. but is stated to be
a Washington man, and that his idea in
acquiring the property was to hold it as an
investment.
1t Is not certain that any improvements
will be made. although the building is an
old frame. which has been there a good
many years. The sale was made by III.
Rozier Dulaney. who was the agent for the
property.
1t is a compact piece. having a frontage
of 60 feet on 18th street and 534 feet on q
street, and containing 1890 square feet. 1t
is recalled by a real estate broker. who re-
members the occurrence that the property
was purchased by Mr.. John B. Larner for
the late Mr. c. c. Willard about the year
1889. and that $4,000 was the price paid
for 1t.
The appreciation In value the past TWEEN

MR., KEEPS RESIGNATION.
Genuine Regret Will Be Felt at His
Refinement.

The Forthcoming resignation of Assistant
Secretary Keep of the treasury. the report
as to which he will not deny nor admit, is
due to the fact that he is man of large
business interests and that he has remained
in the government service for several years
at serious loss to himself. Mr.. Keep Is ex-
pected to retire from his position before
great while 1t is known among his friends
that he would have done SO number of
months ago but for his appointment as the
head of what is known the Keep COM
mission for planning improved and mod
ern methods of business in the departmental
service in Washington. A loyal desire to
serve the President to the best of his abil-
ity induced Mr.. Keep to stay in the treas
ury and work out the mission of the Keep
commission, the duties of which are nearing
an end.
wealthy relative of Mr.. Keep recently
died and left the administration of his es-
tate in the hands of the assistant secretary,
and this has added to his business cares.
There will be genuine regret in the treas
ury when Mr.. Keep leaves office. He is
generally regarded there as the best-posted
man on the financial affairs of the govern
ment and country that has held his position
for years.
1t is pretty generally believed that the
vacancy that will be made in the treasury
will be filled by George B. Cortelyou, who
will be the next Secretary of the Treasury.
appointing Frank H. Hitchcock, the present
first assistant postmaster general. Mr..
Cortelyou and Mr.. Hitchcock have had such
intimate relations, personal and official. for
many years there Is no doubt of Mr.. Cor
telyou's desire to keep his warm friend near
him. Financially. Mr. Hitchcock would not
receive any more money as assistant secre-
tary of the treasury than as first assistant
postmaster general. but the experience he
would gain In the new position would be of
greater value than the same asset in the
Post Office Department.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1.-When Boss
Murphy, down at Tammany Hall, was told
this afternoon that Chairman Corners
would predict only $500 majority for
Hearst in Greater New York, he went
plumb into the air.
Gee" he said as he ducked into the
telephone booth. In few minutes he
emerged, smiling. Nothing in it, he said.
"Connors Is not going to make any such
prediction. Greater New York will give
Hearst not less than 100, 1000"
Boss Murphy declares there must be some
mistake about that Croker cablegram.
Little Tim Sullivan, however, says he
saw McCarren this morning and knows the
cablegram is not a fake. Asked what eff
feet it would have he shook his head
solemnly and said: Mr.. Croker has

MAY BE BIG STORM.
Wires to Key West Are Down
Colder Tonight.

Fears are entertained here that another
big storm has developed off the extreme
southern coast of Florida. The statement
was made at the weather bureau this aft
ernoon that the wires to Jupiter. on the
east coast of Florida, and to Key West are
down, and no word has been received from
those places since yesterday. Havana is
also missing. so that the entire section south
of the Florida coast has been cut off from
telegraphic communication.
report from Jacksonville today gives
the wind velocity there twenty-six miles
an hour. Such stiff gale at Jacksonville
may mean a wind of hurricane strength at
points in the extreme southern portion OF
the state.
Weather officials Informed Star reporter
that they are keeping close watch on the
situation. 1t is not known whether the
weather conditions in southern Florida have
any connection with the great Storm which
is reported from southern France, and
which is said to be in the same latitude
with Havana, Cuba. The storm off the
French coast is said to be most disastrous,
many vessels being torn from their anchor
ages and wrecked, and coast towns and
cities flooded with the great overflow from
the sea.
The temperature in this city is expected
to go down to thirty degrees tonight, which
is two degrees below the freezing point
Hence 1t is expected that water in exposed
places will be covered with thin layer of
ice before tomorrow morning. The skies
will continue fair, according to the predic
ton of the official forecaster
The summary of previous Novembers for
the past thirty-siX years, as given by Prof.
Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau, shows that the mean or normal tenn
perature for Washington in that period was
40 degrees. The warmest November was
in 1902, with an average temperature of 81,
and the coolest November was in 1880, with
an average of 40 degrees. The greatest
snowfall in November occurred November
