at the Belasco this week. The play, it
is said, has all the fascination and

tale there is plenty of comedy. Lillian

Dramatic Notes

Sarah Bernhardt's supposed inten-
tion to portray Mephistopheles has
greatly interested the public, writes
the Paris correspondent of Pail Mall.
The queen of tragedy has horror of
stereotyping her talent, but there is
little chance, of it; she has presented
most human characters. She has been
a young and prospective emperor,
Danish prince, an empress, queen,
a modern mother, saint and a sor-
ceress. To be the evil one would be
the natural completion of her roles.

There is no subject which is at all
adaptable for use on the stage that
cannot be used again and again. The

those that get ahead, while those that

Especial to The Herald.D

Washington, Dec 3.-The energetic
work of Postmaster General Meyer for
the extension of the parcels post and
tie establishment Of a postal savings
bank is destined to come to naught in
the approaching session of congress.
The postmaster general has thrown
his whole heart into this movement
and it has been heartily endorsed by
various postal organizations and by
some other bodies throughout the coun-
try. But Speaker Cannon has broadly
intimated to Mr.. Meyer that he does
not consider the time ripe for either
movement to be enacted into law.
House Will Not Act.
The parcels post extension the speak
er has told Mr.. Meyer, will not receive
the consideration of congress during
the coming session, nor will the postal
savings bank proposition, according to
the information impaired to Mr.. Meyer
by the speaker. The speaker says that
with the talk of tariff revision preva-
lent, and with the financial condition
of the country in not too satisfactory
condition, he does not think it would
be wise for congress to institute inno-
vations which might result in eXtraor-
binary expense, especially as the pos
tai service has never paid for itself.
The extension OF the parcels post has
aroused the most bitter opposition from

against twenty-six similar failures last

Greater Than Normal.
These returns indicate that the only
noticeable increase in liabilities over
the figures for the same month last
year occurred in the manufacturing
class, though numerous small firms
were forced to suspend among traders.
The mortality was greater than nor
mai, owing to the strained monetary
situation and not because of poor bus-
mess, and comparatively few large
failures in the manufacturing division
supplied the only increase above an
average months liabilities. Compari-
son with last years figures at this time
is much less significant than the great
improvement which is shown over the
losses of the preceding month. Dur
ing November there We're thirty sus-
pensions of banks and other financial

the small town merchants. who have
been besieging the speaker with petit
tons not to permit congress to take
any step which would facilitate the ex-
tension of the mail order business in
the rural districts. The merchants are
generally aggrieved over the extension
of the rural free delivery claiming that
it has resulted in keeping the farmers
away from the towns, TO which they
went formerly to get their mail.
Small Towns at Disadvantage.
They also maintain that it has in
jUred their business by facilitating the
process of purchasing by mail from
houses in the large cities which offer a
far greater variety, do business for
cash and sell at considerably lower
prices than the local merchants can
quote. The merchants in small places
maintain that. with increased parcels
post facilities they would offer a still
greater loss of trade, and that in some
instances they would inevitably be
ruined.
Just where the opposition to the pos
tai savings banks comes from is not
known, but it is believed to emanate
chiefly from the same sources, and also
from the bankers in the smaller towns.
The farmers are now obliged to go to
town to make their deposits or to draw
cash. but if the rural postal service
placed these cOnveniences at their doors
they would have still less occasion to
visit their local metropolis.
