The weighing which is now going
on and which will last for three
months more will doubtless delay the
delivery of many a Christmas present,
for the weighing and classifying takes
time.
Post Cards.
Few people realize the extent to
which the present post card craze has
gone and what it means to the postal
department. Most every night the
Chicago clerks on the trains fail to get
all the post cards for Chicago dis
tributed. The kilbourn postmaster
reports that he has had as high as 5000
TO handle in one day when an eXcur-
sion was in town. Tnat post office has
no stamping machine, so that the
work of handling them is immense at
times. The COney Island station of
the BROOKLYN post office handles on
the average of 250,000 post cards per
day, and on Sunday the number
sometimes reaches the million mark,
usually not less than 750, 900.

District building this morning there was
among the many letters he had in his bag

ument to police headquarters, which is two
doors below the District building 1t Is not
known what they told the carrier there, but
the letter was not left there and was taken
back to the post office, where it will no

it might have contained an acceptance from
the bureau Of finance of New York of Dor
sey Foultz's bid for the bonds.

CITES THE EXCISE BOARD
COURT ACTS UPON PETITION OF
THOMAS B. LIE CUYER.
Application for Mandamus to Compel
the Renewal Of Barroom
License.

Justice Gould OF the District Supreme
Court today cited the excise board Of the
District OF Columbia to show cause next
Monday why writ Of mandamus should
not issue to compel them to grant a re-
newal OF q barroom license to Thomas e.
LIE Cuyer, proprietor OF the Columbia Ho-
TEL 1413 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
The citation Is based petition filed
by Mr.. Le Cuyer against Edwin W. w.
Griffin. assessor Of the District, and his as
sistants, Matthew Trimble, Samuel T. Kalb-
fus and Alexander Mckenzie, who consti-
tute the local excise board, in which 1t ia
alleged that the board Illegally refused
last Monday to renew the license. Mr.. Lo
Cuyer, by Attorney Henry E. Davis, In
forms the court that the premises No. 1413
pennsylvania avenue has been hotel for
upward of forty years, and that March TO-
1895. after he had complied with all the
requirements of the law and secured the
written permission of the neighboring prop
erty owners. license was issued to him,
and the same has been regularly renewed
for each license year. including the year
ending October 81, 1905.
He made application. he says, November
last for a renewal for the current year. on
which application no action was taken until
last Monday, when the board pretended to
deny his request for renewal.
Attorneys Contention.
Attorney Davis contends that as the ap-
plication was duly before the board and
no petition of majority Of the real estate
owners and resident housekeepers was filed
in protest to the renewal the excise board
was without authority to pass an order de-
clining to renew the barroom privilege.
In disregard OF Mr.. LIE Cuyer's right, he
declares the board ordered the bar of the
hotel closed at midnight last Monday. and
directed the chief of police to see to the
closing. By reason Of this order, he states,
the bar Is now closed. and the proprietor
Is denied the right to continue his busi-
ness.
This action by the board, 1t Is claimed, Is
without authority, null and void. and it Is
urged that upon consideration of the ap-
plication it was and is the mere ministerial
duty of the board to grant a renewal for
the current year, and that Mr.. LIE Cuyer Is
entitled to have his license renewed.

Playground Projected.

If the plans Of Commissioner Macfarland
and DR.. Henry 8. Curtis. supervisor of the
Washington Fairgrounds Association. are
realized the triangular space in front Of the
Center market, at Tth street and Pennsy1-
vania avenue will be converted into a pub
lie playground.
Some time ago it was suggested to Com
missioner Mcfarland that the. space could
be advantageously used for an additional
playground He Investigated the possibili-
ties and ascertained that there were num-
Der of newsboys. bootblacks and employees
of markets and market stores who would
be expected to embrace the opportunity tina,
such recreation grounds would afford. Mr.
Macfarland believes the ground could not
be utilized in a better way, because of its
convenient location and natural advantages
DR.. Curtis told Mr.. Macfarand today that
the Fairgrounds Association had given the
matter consideration and had decided to
undertake raising the necessary funds to
provide the equipment for the playground at
that point, and would make a formal propo-
sition to that effect to the Commissioners
shortly.

TO TEST ARMY BALLOONS
ASCENSIONS WILL BE MADE
HERE LATER IN THE MONTH.
Captain Chandler Will Undertake the
Direction Of the Proposed
Experiments.

The people Of Washington will have an
opportunity to observe some balloon ascen-
s!ons toward the latter end Of September
to be undertaken under the direction of
Capt. Charles def. Chandler, who for
some time has been actively engaged in
that branch Of the corps work An aero
nautical detachment Of nine Signal Corps
men who have been on duty at Jamestown
in connection with ascensions that have
been made by private parties will be or
dered to Washington to assist Capt.
Chandler in his experiments. Some inter-
esting experiences are expected.
The Army Signal Corps officers who have
to do with military ballooning have adopted
the plan of experts abroad and established
a balloon corps. For the present it is of
modest dimensions. so far as the personnel
goes. These army balloonists will have
the advantage of the experience and serv-
ices of the New York aeronaut, Leo Stew
ems, member of the AerOnautic Club Of
America. Most of the ascensions which are
planned will be made from Washington
with one Of the army balloons.
In the course of the next few months
there will be extensive and systematic as
tensions at Omaha, where the Signal Corps
has depot and where special arrange
ments are being made for the manufacture
of compressed gas to be used in these bal
looms
among conservative army officers respect
ing the use of the balloons in time Of war
Some of them think that their advantage
will be limited, and that they can be used
only under peculiar conditions which give
the enemy no opportunity to use the bal
loon of a foe a target or an indication
of the location of the troops against which
they may fire. At the same time 1t Is
realized that military ballooning has its
value, and it Is proposed to ascertain in
a practical way all that may be learned
of the system.
