FEAR AMERICAN CIRCULARS.

London, June 13.-The acclaim
with which the people here greet
ed Postmaster General Buxton's
announcement that the penny pos
tage rates between Great Britain
and the United States would take
effect October l has already been
noted in the special cables. Never
theless some people profess to fear
that their lives will be made mis-
cry by the circulars with which
American enterprise will flood the
country.
"We knew circulars when we
saw them in open envelopes say
these doleful pesslmists, "but now
Yankee firms will put their circu-
lars in closed envelopes"
John Henniker Heaton has re-
ceived due acknowledgement for
his services in bringing the thing
about, while William L. Stead is
apparently of the opinion that he
has been badly treated in the mat
ter. Stead has at all events writ
ten letters to all the papers recall
ing his own efforts. In 1890 he
issued an appeal to the public in
favor of penny post for all Eng
gIish speaking communities, and
got up an address to Queen Veto
ria, which was signed by $4,000
persons. Eighteen years has
passed." he writes, "before the
prayer expressed in our memorial
has been granted"
Thus blushingly does he attri-
butte to himself all the honor.
However, if any one man is en-
titled to the credit of the inception
and strenuous advocacy of 2-cent
postage between England and the
United States in days when the
idea was not so generally welcome
as it is now, it was that eloquent

Since the appropriation of $50, 900
for a public building in Union City
has been c1ade, the next question
is the location of such a building.
The Department has an advertise
ment in The Commercial, asking
for proposals to sell or donate suit
able sites, naming requirements in
the way of dimensions, etc. The
Commercial Club should get to-
gether and look after this matter.
There are a number of good sites
in town, but many of them are &C.
cupied and not altogether availa BILE.
Some of these sites will cost the
Government a considerable amount
of money, and probably would cut
into the appropriation too heavily.
ms much of the appropriation as
g ssible should go into building,
se'.e that will look we'll and it should
zoe in plain view as we'll as Access
sible to the business center. The
Government reserves the right to
condemn and acquire property in
cases where there is much trouble
to get good site, but this is not
done except in special cases. The
business men should get together
and discuss the proposition.

New Scenery.

]. G. Reynolds, manager OF the
theatre in Union City known as
Reynolds Opera House, has lnsti-
tuted lately plan by which the
building is to be gradually trans
formed ind provided with new
equipment throughout. At the out
set not more than enough money
was subscribed for the construction
Of brick and frame work with the
scantiest or cheapest interior dec
Grafton and accessories. In other
words the building when completed
was not much more than skeleton
with crude scenery and traps, dress
ing rooms, plain balcony, walls, etc.
1t was a wise plan, however, wheth-
er intended so or not-that rs the
plan of first building good strong
house and stage of ample dimen-
sions and of utilizing the first
money in that way. Some scenery,
of course, was improvised, but not
very elaborate.
The plan lately adopted by Mr..
Reynolds is to have the whole inside
OF the building gradually changed
as rapidly as the profits in the bust
ness justify, and accordingly the
first installment of the work was
completed last week. This en-
braces four entire new sets of seem
cry, painted by ]. E. Leslie, of Mem
phis, framed and adjusted under his
direction by Mr.. Barlow, also of
that city. Mr.. Leslie is the gentle
man who came to this city at the
request of the Lyric Theatre Co. to
paint scenery for Mr., Clark here,
He is one of the oldest, best known
and most reliab Bile art1stsin the line.
His first work was done in Cincin-
natl in the best theatres of that
city fifty years ago, and since some
Of the many good theatres in the
United States have been provided
with scenery by Mr.. Leslie's brush.
AS an artist he belongs to the group
whose professional standards are
the best, 1t was thus that Mr..
Reynolds saw an opportunity to Sc
cure his services aud to provide
Reynolds Opera House with good
scenic equipment. The sets include
a plain chamber, kitchen, wood and
parlor scenes. They are all of the
highest type and conception. In
the kitchen scene the shelves, win
dows, towels, stands, etc, are so
natural that the presence of an
aproned nd uninterrupted cook
would almost deceive the most in
credulous. The wood scene is pos
itively a triumph of intrinsic art.
The gnarled and smooth barked
species OF the forest with heavy
summer foliage are indeed splendid
types of the virgin woods. The
parlor is in damask with gilded
panels and heavily carved doors in
mosaic settings with ornamental
capstones and sidepieces, altoget5h r.

VISIT TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
Improvements compIeted-In keeping
With the Times.

BY Invitation of Supt. Lawson, a
representative Of the Eagle yesterday
visited the East side public school
building, to inspect the repairs, which
have recently been made. He was
shown through the entire building
and II is putting 1t mildly to say he
was surprised at what he saw.
What first attracted his attention
was the beautiful polished walls,
glittering with the single or double
coats of kalsomine. In all the rooms
the black boards have been resurfaced
and are now better than they have
ever been before.
One notable addition to the equip
ment is a splendid set of maps of the
geography of the ancient nations, to
illustrate the study of ancient history
and of Latin classes. These are spec
tally for the eighth grade, but will be
used by the other classes when neces-
sary.
In all the rooms the stoves have
been treated with coats of shining
polish and all the facings, panels and
other wood work have been revar
nished. In thethird story, the tenn
porary partitions. which were put in
to accommodate the art CLASSES. have
been removed converting It into
spacious and beautiful auditorium,
with II handsome rostruI;.
The library vas repaired last year
under Prof. LaNs'n's superv. ion ANA
now it looks. as bright as If IL were
fresh from the brand of the artisan.
Many new books have been placed ON
the shelves during the past year. and
additions will continue to be made
keeping the stock up-to-date,
Superintendent Lawson is not only
an accomplished teacher but posses
ses also extraordinary executive abil'
ity and fully appreciates the impor'
lance of keeping up with the process
sion in all things. He Is doing a grand
work for Bryan, fact which the cit.
liens generally appreciate.

for the submission proposition to
carry the State.
Today the department re ;eivcd a
letter from Will A. Morris of Sal
Antonio, a member of the State dem.
Ccratic executive committee, in which
the question is submitted. Mr.. Morris
wants the department to construe Sec
ton 100 of the Terrell election law
which touches on this subject. This
is a most important matter, as it MAJ
determine the question as to whether
or not the submission issue is to be
submitted to the people at the next
general election.
The ants have always claimed that
under section 100 of the Terrell cleo
ton law it takes a majority of ali
votes cast in the primaries in order
for submission to prevail Should
this view of the matter be taken by
the attorney general then there Will
he no submission. On the other hand
should it be decided that it only re

the proposition of the prohibition is

zen, but that he is investigating the
matter thoroughly and will be ready
to respond to a request Tor a ruling
